were suddenly called together by
Walter w. Wise, outgoing president
The four councilmen are adherents

Attorney William M. Bosson and City
Clerk John w. RhodhammeI.
Would Strengthen Order
Arthur r. Robinson, attorney for

Of the Shank faction to have Thomp
son preside at q meeting tonight
prepared q new order restraining
Thompson or any one except Clay
combe from acting as council presi

to Judge Leathers this afternoon.
Corporation Counsel Ogden and

New Motion Expected
After Ogden, Bosson ~and Charles

TANNING THE PRINCE WITH
 IMMUNITY.

Should the heir 10 the British throne traipse about the world 'as commercial bagman, seeking trader" That is what labor members of the British parliament demanded to know in the house of commons. He wanted to reduce by 15,000 pounds sterling the proposed expense allow ance for the Prince of Wales, on the ground that it was wrong to spend junkets, while thousands suffered at home; that the prince-who had failed to visit certain English slums might better see England first, and that if the prince wanted to have a good time in South America, to which taken on a costly British battleship, section of the globe he was to be he should shave his expenses. The protesting member lost his fight by vote of about three to one, but possibly that is not the most inter- esting phase of the furry. It is related that the incident created more amusement than indignation, and apparently it created no ripple outside of the house of commons. Only a few centuries ago the churl who dared to criticise royalty would have fared not so we'll Without ado and with dispatch, he would have lost his head at dawning, and that would have been the end of him. Now he can live, without running away, to create amusement another | day.

RockEFELLER's SHINING DIMES

John D. Rockefeller, long credited with being the wealthiest man in the world, although there is doubt now that he is entitled to that distinc- ton, has followed a custom for sev- eral years of tossing out bright, shining nickels and dimes to young sters of his neighborhood in celebra- ton of his birthday anniversaries.
 Not more than a dime, and not always as much as a dime-that is the Rockefeller code. Perhaps, if he is feeling particularly expansive, it is dime instead of nickel.
 We think, therefore, that MT. Rockefeller is something of tight wad not to say skinflint. But we may be mistaken about that. The venerable oil king got his start amid inhospitable surroundings. He was not always one of the worlds rich est men. He once was one of the -four million" instead of among the first in the four hundred" in fnan- cial power. He learned the value of thrift then, and perhaps he learn ed, too, that to be poor, though not poverty-stricken, has it's advantages over affluence as we'll as its disad- vantages. He got his tremendous wealth, not by bequest or gift, but by taking care of his oil pennies.
 It appears that the oil king has very decided ideas on the subject of showering largess on young peo- pie. A trust deed daughter, which appears in papers filed in New York supreme court case, sets out his views. He gave his daughter the power to leave the fund to char. itable institutions instead of to her children if she saw fit to do so. He expressed the earnest hope" that his daughter would bear in mind his belief that it would be prejudicial

THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY

The expected twist time often works finds Everett Sanders, of Ter re Haute, Indiana, taking up the du ties of secretary to President Cool idge at time when, but for trick of fate, he might have been enter ing upon the office of vice-president.
 When MT. Sanders name was prot forward at the Cleveland convention as e-presidential candidate, it was generally understood that his choice would have met with the whole hearted approval of Mr. Coolidge and most of the convention, had not the Indiana delegation itself blocked the way by clinging determinedly to the candidacy of Senator Watson. Now Mr. Sanders takes a place measure ably nearer the conduct of admins tration affairs than is the vice-pres- idency.
 The new secretary, like his prede- cessor, c. Bascom Slemp, enters the White House offices after a thoro schooling on Capitol Hill. AS a rep resentative from the Fifth Indiana district for eight years, he adhered closely to Republican leadership, and retires from his Congressional ac- tivities holding high positions on the Republican steering committee and the House commerce committee.
 MT. Sanders was considered also one of the best parlimentarians in the majority party's membership, and frequently was called upon by Speak CT Gillett to preside over the House in his absence. Among many pieces of legislation in which he has been interested, MT. Sanders perhaps worked harder for the Esch-Cum. mings transportation act than any other. Railroad legislation in gen eral always interested him and he was recognized by his colleagues as among the best informed House members on this subject. He was no1 candidate for reelection to the new congress, having decided to forsakt public life to resume the practice O law.
