chief. Advancing rapidly toward
Charlemagne, who apparently had been
led to believe that the persons ap-
preaching him were members of his
band with reports from the attack
upon Grande Riviere, Hanneken, armed
with two revolvers, and Button, armed
with a light Browning machine
gun, were suddenly halted by two ban
dts who handled their rifles in a
threatening manner.
Hanneken promptly opened fire upon
Charlemagne ana Button turned his
machine gun upon the remaining BAN
dts, who were seeking cover The sur
prise attack was a complete success and
the dead bodies of Charlemagne and
about nine of his bodyguards were
found in teh camp. Several bands of
outlaws, returning from their unsuc-
cessful attack upon Grande Riviere
were encountered and dispersed.
For this feat Hanneken and Button
were awarded the Navy Medal of Honor.

APPROXIMATIONS.
MADE BY COOLIDGE.
Record for Appointments Set
During Five and 0ne-Haif
Years as President.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

One OF the records Calvin Coolidge
is about to leave behind him in the
presidency is the largest number of
presidential appointments made by any
Chief Executive during a period of So
years. The grand total of names sent
to the Senate for confirmation by Mr..
Coolidge from the opening of his first
Congress December 3, 1929 to the
present hour of his last Congress (Feb-
ruary Al is AZ, 121. No occupant of the
White House in a similar number of
years is believed to have sent more
than an aggregate of rs per cent of
that number of appointments to Capt.
toll Hill. The total ranges all the way
from cabinet nominations to third-class
pOStmaSterShipS. They include nomi-.
nations to all the higher civilian posts
in the Government and to the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps.
President Coolidge, senatorial old
hands point out, has had more than
the average run of bad luck. too. with
regard to rejected nominations. In
1925 the Senate refused by the narrow
margin of a single vote to confirm
Charles Beecher Warren of Michigan
as Attorney General. A year later the
Senate declined to confirm Wallace Nc
Camant of Oregon as a United States
judge. Coolidge was especially inter-
ested in Mr.. McCamant's appointment
because it was that distinguished Port
land juriSt who, by stampeding the
Chicago 1920 convention for Gov Cool
idge of Massachusetts," for Vice Presi-
dent, led the way to second place on
the Harding ticket for the man who, in
1923, succeeded to the presidency. Sem
ator Hiram johnson of California head

Camant.
Woods and Esch Rejected.
In succeeding years the Senate, at
the end of long fights, turned down in
succession two Coolidge nominations to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Cyrus E. Woods of Pennsylvania, former
Ambassador to Japan, and John j.
Esch of Wisconsin, former member of
the House of Representatives and one
of the authors of the ESch-Cummins
transportation act. Federal judiciary
nominations by Mr.. Coolidge which
failed to find Senate favor included
those of Edgar j. Adams to the first
district of Alaska (rejected). and VIII
liam j. TilSon to the middle district
of Georgia (withdrawn). Quite num-
Der of postmaster nominations were
withdrawn. One famous nomination
to collectorship of the port (that of
Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans) was
withdrawn in the teeth of stern Sem
ate threats to reject. After President
Coolidge in 1924 asked the Senate to
confirm SilaS H. Strawn, prominent
Chicago corporation lawyer, as Gov
eminent counsel in the oil litigation,
the nomination was withdrawn because
of Mr.. Strawn's banking affiliations.
