Washington, Feb. 4.—Steps to sus pend activities of the government on Wednesday, during the funeral of funner President Woodrow Wilson, were brought to a. halt tonight by the discovery of a law passed In 1883 which provides that the executive <}e partments of the government may not l.e closed as a mark of respect for a former official. The executive order closing govern departments, written yesterday, but to which 1h« signature of Pres) ilent Coolldge was not affixed pending the announcement of the date of the funeral, was not signed when the law was discovered today. President Cool idge was on the point of signing it v, hen word of the law was communi cated to him. Several suggestions on the matter of closing departments were dis i ussed. one that each department head inform employes under him that they peed not report for work, being discarded when it was felt that it would not accomplish the desired pur pose. So decision having been reached, directions for a cabinet meeting to ; morrow were sent out. By Associated Press.

House Was Always “House"—Shunned Aristocracy of Washington—Joined Poor Man's Golf Club. Bj Associated Press, Washington, Feb. 4.—Woodrow Wil son’s personality was in many re speets the most unusual that ever in habited the W’hite House. It com manded from millions an admiration approaching worship: it aroused in others aversions amounting to hatreds. Mr. Wilson himself acknowledged (hat he had a "single track mind." Friends acknowledged he was re served. critics said he was cold. His few intimates dectared he was neither and joined in acclaiming him one of tlie most delightful of associates. Mr. Wilson's Reclusion and scare! ty of Intimates Were among Ids out standing characteristics. It was said of him by those who ought to know, that he called only two men of his wide acquaintance by their first names. They were Cleveland H. Dodge and Cyrus H. McCormick. Even E. M. House of Texas, who was supposed to have been as close to Mr. Wilson as any other man during his incumbency of the White Housp. nevpr won a state where Mr. Wilson called him "Ed” or “Edward." Neither did Mr. Wilson call him "Colons!,” the complimentary title by which Sir. House was most commonly known Through all their intimacy up lo the moment of the celebrated breaking off point, Mr. WMlson always called him simply "House." One Enduring Friendship. The one enduring friendship which Mr. Wilson made in the White House was with his personal physician. Rear Admiral Carey T. Grayson, who re stored him to health W'hen he came Retired Farmer and Wife Found Slain in Home Man’s Throat Slashed, Mouth Burned With Poison — Woman’s Skull Crushed by Crowbar. Special Dispatch to The Omaha B'«. Creston, la., Feb. 4— HI* throat slashed in two places and hia mouth burned with add, IJan M. Wimmer, 72. wealthy retired farmer, waa found dead on a couch In the dining room of his home here yesterday noon. His jWlfe, her skull crushed by a crowbar and her face covered with knife wounds, laj/ on the kitchen floor. She was unconscious and died a few min utes later without making a state ment. Discovery of the tragedy was made by Tony Mellon, son of Mrs Wim tner, who said he had received a tele phone call from Ills mother about 9:39 Sunday morning. His mother told him he should go to her home as "it looked like there would be trouble,” he said. Mellon, accompanied by his •ife and another woman, went to the house about noon. One of them went Inside and discovered what had occurred. A butcher knife lay under Mrs. Wimmer'i body. Nearbx was the Iron bar, matted with blood and hair. Mrs. Wimmer'a head had been ter ribly crushed. Wlmmer’s throat was slashed In two places. Neither wound, it was said, severed the Jugular vein. Both bled profusely and the kitchen was spattered with blood. An Inquest was to be held this afternoon to determine the clrcum stances of the tragedy. Authorities are working on the theory that the killings followed a quarrel over family and money mat ters. The couple had been married six months. Knch had been married before. Authorities said tVimmer probably died of poison. No bottle, however, could be located. Wlminer's bead showed a bruise across the back. Indicating he had been hit with the bar.

They never quarreled, al though their friendship was a most intimate one. Woodrow Wilson had a way of thinking things out for himself and making liis own decisions. When he was working through a crucial moment he invariably shut himself up in his study and worked the thing out on Ids own typewriter. He called for information when he was working toward a decision, but he preferred to have it in written form, lie wanted the facts cold and un tinged by the personality of the pur veyor. When he got mad—and he did get mad once in a while just as any other man—it was his favorite trick to jam on his hat and walk around the block to "cool off.'' He did that when he heard the Germans had torpedoed the Lusitania. Then he came hack to his study, full mas ter of his emotions, and penned the historic nole to Germany which fore cast war. He read It to the cabinet and the secret!!ry of slate after It was well ofi its way over the cables toward Berlin. It was typical of Wil son's way. Having decided on a course of action he wanted no advice. Cabinet meetings during the Wilson administration were described by those who chafed under the restraints a*- a morning in the school room with the "school master" at the head of the table. ^ Shunned Slate Parlors. It was said of Mr. Wilson that his |fcollision In the White, House result ed, partially at least, from some mis information he got shout Washington and that atmosphere before he took office. Somebody, so the story went, journeyed to Princeton and told him that there was a local ring of social celebrities, bankers and others who profited from the prestige of gsao ciStion at the White House. Mr. Wilson. It was said, made up his mind to have none of their company. He further determined not to hav* on his visiting list committees of hankers. railroad presidents end manufacturers when he was consid ering public questions in which they were Interested. The remilt was that when Mr. Wll son moved his family—a write and three daughters—to the White House he shunned the formal state parlors on the lower floor, leaving them to the tourists, and Installed himself with his own family effects, ‘Including the sewing machine, on the second floor, where the Wilsons recreated their old home at. Princeton. Family life on that eoale continued until the death of the first Mrs. Wilson and the mar riage of two of her daughters. Refuses Invitation. Mr Wilson paid his first respects to the local aristocracy by declining an Invitation to join the Chevy Chase club, the most exclusive golf, dinner and dancing organization in the city, and went across the Potomac to golf at an obscure "poor man's club.” On one of the first rounds of the links lie failed to hear "fore" of a local merchant, who paid Ills respects In language not usually addressed to a president of the United States. Mr. Wilson threw down his clubs and walked off the links. Weston Store Robbers Make Haul of $2,500 Special Dispatch to The Omeha'Bcc.
