Meeting in the first morning session
in several years the city council Monday
declined to confirm the appointment ot
Dr. J. W. Slaughter as director of the
Houston Foundation. The council acted
unfavorably it is said because it was
unwilling to employ a part time man for
this position taking the atand the re-
muneration was sufficient to secure some
one who could devote all his. time to tlio
work. Mavor Holcombe iavbred the ap-
pointment of Dr. Slaughter stating that
he thought the city was fortunate in
being able to secure such a man as Dr.
Slaughter even if he could devote only
his afternoon? to the work.
Dr Klmurhter was recommended or
the Foundation board some time ago and
Mayor Holcombe has said that he wished
the appointment confirmed in order to
carrv out the nolicv of leaving the man
agement of various city functions to the
boards under which they came. AC-.we
same time the mayor made it plain tnat
he personally approved of Dr. Slaughter
and told the council that it was making a
mistake in not tendering the place to
him.
The commissioners seemed inclined to
the position that the city should be able
to get a competent man to serve all his
time for ?J(KIO per year the salary pro-
posed and the appointment was referred
again to the Foundation with instructions
to present recommendation for another
nominee.

Opposition to Diambi
Oil Bill Reported Weak
Associated Press Report.
THE HAGl'E. June 3. From the
report of the commission appointed by
the first chamber of parliament to in-
vestigate the Biambi oil bill which
grants concessions to a roys.1 Dutch sub
sidiary while excluding American inter
ests. it appears that opposition to final
adoption of the measure is weak al
though some members contend for state
exploitation in order they say that Hoi
land may avoid a world war which they
fear is inevitable over control of fuel
supplies.
The report shows that some of the
members urged that Dutch national
honor did not allow Holland to take the
objections of the United States into ac
count and that Holland should oppose
any attempt at interference with her
legislation.

HATS OFF!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles a ruffle of drums
A flash of color beneath the sky.
Hats off!
The Flag is passing by!
For freedom of the world it shines.
Over the steel-tipped ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before us fly;
But more than the Flag Is passing by.
Sea-fights and land-fights grim and
great.
Fought to make and save the State;
Weary marches and sinking shipj;
Cheers of victory on dying lips.
Equal justice right and law
Stately honor and reverent awe;
Pride and glory and honor all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
