GEORGE v. OLVANY,
HEAD OF TAMMANY,
RESIGNS IN gotham
CONSERVATION Caused in Demo.
cratic Circles as Murphy's
Successor Quits

New York, March l6-lP)-George
w. Olvany. leader of Tammany Hall
since the death of Charles F. Murphy
five years ago. has resigned. While i'll
health was given as the reason there
was much speculation today about the
matter.
The resignation was submitted yes
terday by letter at a meeting Of the
executive committee OF the New York
County Democratic committee, or
Tammay Hall. as more generally
known.
New York newspapers had various
theories to offer. Some said that in
some quarters the resignation was re-
garded as gesture intended to in
spire vote of confidence on the part
of the executive committee. Some
suggested it was the outcome of dis
satisfaction on the part Of Democratic
leaders with the poor showing made
by Alfred E. Smith in the presidential
election in the Tammany districts.
The papers went on to say that
Olvany was known to be far from
popular with many Of the district
leaders and was said to have quar-
relied with Mayor Walker recently
about patronage.
Olvany's action coming without
warning on the eve of a municipal
campaign threw leaders of the local
Democratic organization into coufu-
sion and gave rise to speculation on
its effect on the candidacy of Mayor
Walker for reelection.
Olvany has been member of Tam
many Hall for 80 years. He succeeded
Murphy as leader of Tammany Hall
after long association with the chief
tain in the capacity of chairman of
the Tamm ny law committee. He was
serving as an appointed general ses-
sions judge in 1924 when he was made
head of the Tammany organization.

Signal Success in Book
and Military Worlds

New York. March 16.-LP)-Major
General Daniel Appleton. retired pub
Usher and soldier, died last night at
a private sanitarium at White Plains.
He was n years old.
It was a singular coincidence in the
life OF General Daniel Appleton that
his two principal activities-thc pub
fishing business and the National
Guard of the state Of New York
we're commenced in the same year
and continued without interruption
for more than 40 years. He started
at the bottom ard advanced step by
step until he attained positions of
leadership and responsibility in each.
General Appleton was born In New
York. Feb. "a. 1852: the son of John
A. and Serena p. Appleton. He was
educated at New York and Carlsruhe.

came clerk in the employ Of D.
Appleton 6; Co.. the publishers. which
firm was founded by his grandfather.
Daniel Appleton. in 1925. and Of
which his father was a member.
In 1879 General Appleton was taken
into the partnership. Although the
publishing house had become q great
institution when he joined it he did
much to carry on its fine old tradi-
lions and to increase its prestige. He
devoted himself to the business side
of the organization, while his cousin.
William Worthen Appleton. looked
after editorial matters.
Eventually becoming vice president
and general manager. General Apple
ton filled those two positions for a
long period Of years. during which
many Of the signal successes Of the
firm made their appearance. The

many of the Civil Mar leaders: the
famous novel. David Harum. which
sold into the millions. and the books
o. Hall Caine. Gilbert Parker and
others were published. Their ire
mcndous success was due in q large
measure to the efficient distributing
which General Appleton
haG built up. He retired from the
publishing firm in 1913 after an as
ISOLATION of AZ years.
The rank of brevet major general
was given ~ the state Of New York
to General Appleton for As years

Undergoes AZ Operations in Six Years
And He Wants to Be a Doctor!

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Mar. 16.-Ralph
Snodgarss. 18-ycar -old high school
student of Cedar Rapids. could sing
"Oh-h-h-h. my operation" with feel
ing and experience. for In the past
six years he has been under the sur
geon's knife ~ times and has been
under anaesthetics more than 30
times.
And because he admires the sur
geons at the University hospital at
Iowa City who have operated on him
and because he has become so ia
miliar with hospitals and the instru-
ments Of surgery he has decided to
become a doctor!
Ralph suffered from an infection
Of the bone due to a scratch suffered
on one of his great toes on Labor
day. 1922. After spending eight
months in bed. during which time his
weight dropped from 96 to Sc pounds,
he was taken to the University hos
pital for his first operation. He was
so weak. however. that 1t was two
weeks before sufficient resistance
could be built up for the operation.
The femur bone Of the left leg had
decayed from the infection. To save
the leg from amputation the softened
portion Of the bone was cut away.
leaving just thin stem. In turning
the boy on the operating table, this
vas broken. but it was placed IN
splintS and now nature has almost
filled the gap.
The disease broke out at different
times in different places-a toe, leg.
a collar bone, rib had to be scraped
when the infection appeared. The
boy became so weak from such con-
tinual operating that quart of blood
had to be transfused at one time.
Soma If the o,,erations were done
