Washington, I). C. The controversy
of eight months' standing between
Bert E. Haney, Portland member of
the United States shipping board, and
Leigh R. Palmer, president of the
emergency fleet corporation, came to
an unexpected climax Sunday when
Haney refused President Coolldge's
request for his resignation, based on
bis opposition to Palmer. In defying
the chief executive Commissioner
Haney insisted that he had never
agreed to cease his fight against Pal
mer, as the request implied.
As a result the president is ex
pected to withdraw Commissioner
Hancy's temporary reappointment to
the shipping hoard, made early in May
and thus force his return to private
life. This would be the first act of
! general move from the White House
to break the shipping board's opposi
tion lo Admiral Palmer, which was on
the verge of culminating in the oust
ing of the fleet corporation head from
his office.
Mr. Haney received the request for
his, resignation last. Thursday. It re
ferred lo an "understanding" suppos
ed to have been reached at the time
of the commissioner's reappointment,
which would have ended his efforts to
remove Palmer.
The Portland man declared there
was no such agreement. He main
tained that be explained to President
Coolidge that he was unable to get
along with Admiral Palmer and did
not expect that he would ever be in
accord willi the fleet, president's pol
icies. In the face of this statement,
he averred, the president urged him
to remain on the shipping hoard, at
hasl until some new arrangement
could be worked out promising greater
harmony between that body and the
fleet officials.
"It is not clear to me why the
president, in his telegram asking my
resignation, should have implied an
understanding which never existed,"
he staled today.
"My fight against Admiral Palmer
has been one of opposition against his
regard of I he shipping board and con
sequently against ills adverse attitude
toward shipping interests of the Pa
cific northwest, as he proposed to ex
ercise coal rol over vessels operating
out. of the ports of that section con
trary to the board's views and to the
best Interests of the cities concern
ed. "I cannot help hut suspect that the
request as I received it wus not dictat
ed by the president himself."
Mr. Hancy's version of the agree
ment under which he accepted reap
pointment conforms with his state
ment made here at that time. It was
known l hen that President Coolidge
was disposed lo support Admiral Pal
mer in his efforts to get the govern
ment out of the shipping business ns
soon as possible, regardless of incon
venience to ports affected, but Com
missioner Haney Informed bis friends
that the president had no! sought lo
impose such a view Upon him.

French Finance Minister Will
Discuss War Debt.
SEE SUCCESS IN VISIT
Washington Has No Fear That Ten
tative British Pact Will Affect
Negotiations.
Washington, D. C. Announcement
that Joseph Calllaux, French finance
minister, is coming to the United
States to confer with Secretary Mel
lon and the American debt funding
commission seems to Indicate almost
to a certainly in the opinion of Amer
ican officials, that a debt settlement
between the two governments is ex
pelled and will be reached.
Furthermore there seems to be little
serious fear that the tentative arrange
ment which thas been reached be
tween M. CaillaUX and Winston
Churchill, British chancellor for the
exchequer, will nffect the negotiations
between the French and the American
debt officials to the extent of prevent
ing an engagement.
Occupying in France the same posi
Hon as does Secretary Mellon in this
country, the importance of M. Caillaux
in these negotiations, it is pointed out,
is of the first, rank. That he should
come himself instead of sending sub
ordinates is accepted as assurance
that the formal negotiations which are
about to start will be carried through
to a successful conclusion.
The tentative agreement with
Oreat Britain has not changed the
fundamentals of the French debt sit
uation with the United States it may
he slated on his authority and further
more, it has been learned from reliable
sources that the report of the British
French understanding was received by
officials here more favorably than is
generally admitted. The agreement is
also looked on as indicating a desire
on Ihe part of the former to pay.
While the FrehCh at first may sug
gest a moratorium, doubt exists in
well advised quarters as to whether
any actual or direct moratorium will
be granted, although it is admitted
that France during the early years will
not be financially able to make any
substantial payments, possibly not
greatly in excess of the 120,000,000
which she is now paying annually on
I ho 1400,000,000 which she owes on
war stocks and which will be funded
in wilii the rest of Ihe debt.

IS IT WHISTLER?
SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
By F. A. WALKER
AN ABIDING CONFIDENCE
XXTinSTLEB, by some thought to
be the greatest name among ell
American artists, is In reality n name
of Irish origin. That Is to say the
first Whistler in this country was MaJ.
John Whistler, who was born In Ire
lund In 1750.
Coming here when a young man he
served in the Revolution and retired
after the war to Hugerstuwn, Md.,
with his wife. He was breveted ma
jor. His son. George Washington
Whistler, was grandson, through his
mother, of Sir Edward Bishop of Eng
land. He was born In 1800, and wus
educated nt the Unfted Suites Military
college. His wife was Mary Fisher,
and his second Anna .Matilda McNeill,
and It was by her that he had a son
named James Abbott McNeill Whistler,
who was destined to bring the name
Into lasting prominence In the history
of American art.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was
born in Russia, where his father was
engaged ns consulting engineer. It Is nn
Interesting thing that Whistler was
not married until he was fifty-four.
WESTON This Is a name from

Iwas also a personal name in the Sev
enth century.

O
WHO SAID
"The man whose purse
is empty can sing before
the robber."
npiUS bit of philosophizing on the
advantages of being poor was ut
tered by Beelmus Junius Juvenalis, the
jgreut Latin writer of poetical satires,
J whose sayings are best known as the
jWork of "Juvenal" the popular form
;ln which his name lias been handed
down through the ages.
Facts concerning the birth, life and
death of this famous personage of an-
jtiqulty nre very obscure and are of
doubtful authenticity, lie Is supposed
jto have been born at Aqulnum, a Vol
seian town In Italy, about forty-two
years after the birth of Christ. W ho
his parents were is not known, hat lds
jtory relutes that he was the adopted
jchiid of a wealthy freedman. This
man furnished the funds with which
Juvenal was enabled to support him
self while Studying With the philoso
pher at Borne. By profession Juvenal
Wus a pleader, or, as wt would sav
today, u lawyer.
History further relates that he wn
exiled from his native land and look
up his residence in Egypt Just why
he was forced to leave Koine Is not
stated, but it Is a safe assumption
that a man of Juvenal's discernment
soon saw much to condemn in Home
and did not hesitate to criticize. Such
being the case, Juvenal was fortunate
that exile wus his fate for many oth
ers of his time suffered execution for
the same offense."
No detailed account of Juvenal's life
In Egypt can be found ether than that
he was put in Charge of a cohort of
infantry and died while In the dls-1
charge of his duty. The only works of
this writer and poet that are In exist
ence are 16 satires, composed In hex
emeters which give a powerful and
somber picture of the corrupt condi
tion of the Roman society of his day.
It Is likely Juvenal's Indignation, ex
pressed go forcefully in these satires,
vas responsible for bis exile.
I Translations of his works have been
made by Gifford ami l.y Iryden, the
English poet. Wayne D. XlcMurray.

yOU may often wonder nt the suc-
cess of some envied friend of
yours who apparently goes straight
without faltering or making any visible
mistake.
And it may be, too, that It is he or
she who is not counted In your ex
clusive set as being specially brilliant,
who in some way or another manages
to keep pace with the head line of the
procession in spite of the ill winds of
gossip, and holds securely his or her
place without any perceptible sign of
losing It.
Sometimes It must be admitted that
you are burning with jealousy and not
infrequently angry.
The contented smile on his or her
face is disquieting to you, even though
you really try to be charitable and big
hearted. It cuts deeply Into the soul and ex
poses the raw surface to the biting
wind of hate; It stirs up a sense of
smarting pain just at the moment
when you would settle down for the
evening with a companionable book.
Like many other envious humans,
you fail to look beneath the unruffled
surface for the cause, being more or
less inclined to attribute it to "dumb
hick," so away you go continuing In
the irritating chase of illusions.
The difference between you and your
friend Is that through all of his or her
(rials, he or she litis nn abiding confi
dence which has been nursed In trou
ble nnd adversity until it litis become
a lusty offspring of faith.
And tills same little glad-eyed spirit
is waiting for you, ready at your first
Invitation to clasp your hand and lead
you safely wherever you may want to
gor If you will but trust him, wanting
nothing for the helpfulness but yout
loyalty and an abiding confidence.
