C|TyFORCES STILL
ON ANXIOUS SEAT

Notwithstanding rumors that city ap-
pointments that should have been made
the first Of the year would be made
Tuesday when the city commissioners
met. no appointment was made.
That the commissioners have gotten
into n hole by the long delay in making
appointments goes without saying, as
many promises OF jobs are known to
to have been made and many others
are clamoNng for Jobs and are becom-
ing disappointed because they can not
get them. The patrolmen o on the
job, II Is said, are AFRAID to spend their
salaries for living necessities from
fear they will be dropped from the pay
rolls any Tuesday that slips by.
And the financial statement for 1918
has never been made public.
Charles b. Quinn, commissioner Of
streets, bridges and sewers, who did
not resign and give w. T. McLaln back
his job when McLaln returned from the
army camp, seems to be buster these
days trying to defeat the city mana
ger charter amendment and force an
early election OF a magistrate than he Is
repairing tho streets Of the city OF
Memphis, Quinn spent much time
Tuesday with w. B, Gray. chairman OF
the election commission, trying to get
MIR. Gray to call a hurry up election to
name a successor to Judge Frank NJ.

district.

labor for higher wages and other
changes in working conditions into the
field Of frank discussion. where they
may be settled with justice to both
employers and workers. They do not
want to ~antagonize labor, nor, in view
Of the high cost of living, TO do labor
an injustice. The executive committee
went on record to this effect and de-
Clared that they thought 1t would he
best for all concerned II the organized
builders and organized workers could
make annual agreements, which could

HOW THE KAISER.
RECEIVED NEWS OF
HIS COMING TRIAL

AMERONGEN, June 15.- (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press) -
The former German emperor displayed
marked irritation after reading the clause
Of the peace treaty in which the allies
announced their intention Of putting him
IN trial on charges Of violation Of in
ternational morality and Of the sanctity
of treaties. For several hours after he
had read the clause no one at the castle
Of Amerongen had the courage to ap-
proach him. He sat IN a chair before
the main entrance to the castle entirely
alone and apparently in deep thought,
while the former empress, Auguste
Victoria, and the members Of his suite
walked in the grounds, occasionally
glancing in his direction.
Next day he seemed to be in a state
Of nervous agitation. for he frequently
| ceased his saving and walked away.
leaving those who assist him to continue
| the work alone. Later, however, he re-
sumed with increased energy, so much
| so that one Of his assistants was forced
to take to his bed for some days in order
to recover from chill caught while
pcrspiring at the other end Of the saw.
Subsequently the dull life at the cas-
tie resumed it's ordinary dullness. and
since the first display Of annoyance
Count Hoherzollcrn has shown few
signs Of being much affected by the con-
ditions Of the peace treaty.
The former emperor has sawn his four
thousandth log. and 1t Is asserted by
some of his retainers that he intends to
bring the number up to 10000. The
| logs, which now form a large heap. are
placed in piles 20 dry in preparation for
| use as fuel In the castle next winter.

WASHINGTON. July S.-When Presi-

prove his busiest week in the White
House. A vast accumulation Of Import
ant matters awaits his consideration.
The president will deal with the sub
jects before him with as great speed as
possible in order that he may make an
carly start on his speech making trip.
1t has been indicated that he would like
to leave Washington about the middle
Of next week.
Among matters awaiting the presi-
dents immediate attention are bills
passed recently by congress and which
carry appropriations Of more than two
billion dollars. Among the measures are
the annual navy. army and agricultural
and the deficiency and sundry civil mca-
usres. There arc also a number of bills
Of relatively minor Importance ready for
signing,
1t appeared tonight that all OF the
bills would quickly become law, with
the possible exception of the agricul-
tural measure which carries a rider re-
pealing the daylight savings lay. Sew
cral requests have been made that the
president veto this measure, but appar-
entity no one IN Washington knows the
presidents mind on this subject.
