gary, grows in popularity, in which respect
he differs from his father, Archduke Otto,
and still more from his uncle, A~rchduke
Francis Ferdinand.
Interest in the imperial lad is enhanced
by the fact that he may have to fight for
his crown. His uncle, Francis, is in line
for the situation, but Francis children are
not, because Francis married for love in
stead of taking for wife a woman of the
blood imperial. SO Francis has had to re-
nounce the throne for his offspring. But his
wife, Princess Sophie of Hohenberg, is
credited not only with ambition and de-
termination, but carefully plans to have
the scepter placed in her sons hands when
the time comes-if she has a son living
at the time.

to explain, but was told to shut his mouth.
Finally the police officer in charge turned

by the bill, he said, was 2e6.
The bill was then read under the five
minute rule for amendment.
Mr.. Maddox (Ga.) and Mr.. Clark MOI

bill and made a general protest against
what they alleged was the practice OF the
appropriations committee of reporting an
appropriation bill and calling it up the
next day before members had an oppoT-

Mr.. Bingham. in reply, said that the re-

change of appropriations in the bill.
Mr.. C~rumpacker Gnd) moved to increase
the appropriation for stationery and post
