First Solicitor Appointed Mr. Smyth will be the first city so licitor appointed by the Mayor, his predecessors having been elected nt the polls. The city chnrter made the change. The city solicitorship is not Mr. Smyth's first high municipal office. He was director of public safety under Mayor 'Weaver, from 1003 to l!)0."i, and wns one of the ccutrnl figures in those hectic summer days of 1005. Mr. Smyth had served two years as head of the public safety department when the famous "gas lease" touched off a political explosion which drew the eyes of the entire country to Philn- dclphia's political situation. Mayor Weaver declared war on the organization o that day. He broke With tho political leaders and began lonning off heads i-icht and left. The .Mayor nsked for the resignations of Mr. Smyth as public safety director and of Peter H. Costello, public works director. He wanted resignations with out reservations. Roth wrote letters. giving up the offices, but stipulating mac tnc resignations snouiu Become ei fective when their successors qualified. Ousted by the Mayor That did not suit the Mayor and he summarily ousted both department heads. That was. on Mar 23. 1005. Colonel Sheldon Potter was named to the safety nost and A. Llucoln Acker to the public works directorship. But the dismissed directors obtained an Injunction forbidding the new de partment heads to exercise the powers of office. Mr. Smyth and Mr. Costcllo re-entered upon their duties. On May 25 Mayor Weaver created amazement by calling with a police cu rort at Mr. Smyth's office. He handed the deposed director a note of warning that he was trespassing and must yield possession of tho officii or be removed by force. Mr. Smyth yielded peaceably and the Mayor ordered a detective stationed be fore the office of the public safety di rector to prevent any unauthorized per son from entering. Following that occasion, Mr. Smyth steered clear of, politics. Ho devoted most of his time to the practice of law. He became active in politics last sum mer when he joined the committee of one hundred which later indorsed Con gressman Moore for the Kepubllcan nomination for Mayor.

Lcib, Schuylkill county politician, charged with forgery nnd conspirncy, succeeded, through counsel, in having his trial continued until 10 o'clock Friday morning, when his rase was called today before Judgo Johnson, in Quarter Sessions Court. Counsel for Lcib nsked for the con tinuance on the ground that the de fendant was not represented by n local attorney. It wns also slated that Mrs. Leib Is seriously ill nnd the defendant feared the shock of a trial and his ab sence from her bedside might result fatally for her. Judge Johnson overruled a motion to quaJi the Indictments against Leib. Counsel for the defendant, in present ing the motion, gave five reasons. On only one of them, a legal question, was there any argument.

The receipt. was pro; diiccd. nnd was found to have been signed "Atthcws." There is no em ploye of the auditor general's office by that name, and it wns said the name was written for "Matthcwc."

J., Fri day, was that of a boy about three years old. Dr. Louis R. 'Souder, Atlantic coun ty physician, nnd Dr. C. M. Fish, head of tho Northfield Tuberculosis Hospital, nnntomical experts, snld this afternoon they thought tho skclton was that of Billy Danscy. A theory had developed thnt tho body might not be that of Billy, who disap peared from his home in Hammonton October 8. After his examination today Doctor Souder announced thnt there were uo organs or tissues attached to the skele ton nnd that his opinion nnd time ot Doctor Fish wns based upon the gen eral structure and size of the bones. Awaits Data for Inquest Dr. Churics Cunniughnm, coroner of Atlantic county, said thnt he would ar range for the Inquest ns boon as Doctor Souder nnd Edmund C. tinskill, Jr., county prosccu.tor, told him to proceed. The doubt thnt the uouy was thnt of Billy Dausey, caused Prosecutor Ed mund C. (iaskill, Jr., of Atlantic county, to postpone the funeral. Services were to be held in Hummou ton this morning, after which Mr. and Mrs. Hercules Dansey, heartbroken parents of the missing boy, planned to take the body to Pittsburgh for burial. "The only evidence we have that the Oody found wns that of Billy Dansey Is the fad that the missing boy's clothing wns found near It," Prosecutor (ias kill said today. "I ordered the funeral arrangements held up pending nn in quest and closer examination of the skeleton to make a positive identifica tion, if possible." Before holding the inquest the cor oner will insist upon having deliverer to him nil the articles, such as u heavj club, a handkerchief una a bottle of medicine, found by searchers for the boy and looked upon as possible clues. Ho will closely examine nil these pos sible clues. . With the theory that the skeleton might not be Billy the suspense under which the mother and father of the child labored from .ho time of his dls appeared until the discovery last Fri day returned in added measure, Parents' Suspense Increases "The indefinite feeling of a terrible loss we hud while the search was go ing on was somewhat relieved when we thought we really bad our beloved boy's body and could at least give. It proper burial," Mr. Danscy said today, his face haggard with worry. "Now that doubt of the positive identification hns come up, our feelings are worse than ever. "I wish to God it was all over. It vill kill my wife If this suspense con' tlnues," he said brokenly. County detectives haVo not given up bona of finding somo clue to the Identity of the persons who placed the body and clothlug in the Folsom swamp.

Rumors of the wildest character ic lnllng the possibility of u very seri ns crisis, involving not only the cabi net, but also tho reigning house nf Itnly, are lit circulation as the opening of Parliament, set for December 1, ap proaches.

JIalatcsta tried to assassinate King Alfonro at Madrid ou thv hitter's wedding day. The Socialists, proud of their recent victory, arc eager to continue what they call their "march forward." The older, more authoritative members of the party, however, arc against excesses. The new elemenets which have entered i the hocinlist parliamentary irrouii are declared to be animated by revolutionary sentiments nnd to favor an extreme policy which, in their opinion, will in evitably lead to bolshevism in Italy. This section now In nnrlmihfndK- lio -'jjmost numcrnngj. if not thn most cer- iitiniy nominate me party Because ot the audacity and determination of its members to attain control by whatever, means seems best to thorn. i Plan to Spoil King's Speech j Members of this section nre quoted ns declaring that, comprising as they do more than 150 "live wires" nmon'g the fifiO deputies, the irmalning wili not dare oppose them and thnt they will be able to accomplish "some supreme act of rebellion which will overthrow the tottering government of the bour geoisie." Formerly the Socialists never attend ed the opening of Parliament, absenting themselves -o thnt they might avoid being present when the king delivered his speech from the throne and to es cape taking the prescribed onth in the king's presence. The newly elected extreme socialists, however, now insist that the entire group should attend the ceremony, hiss the kiug, insult him the moment he np peared, and prevent him from speaking. They have een gone so far ns to threaten that he would be attacked on his way to the chamber or upon his re turn. Government officials admit thnt there is no measure which it would be pos sible to tnke to prevent one hundred and fifty members whistling nnd shout ing nnd making It impossible for the king to be heard. "What Should the King Do?" The question is being asked in po litical nnd government circles, "Want should the king do?" The problem is being considered whether he sbpuld be permitted to nsit going to I'nrllnment December 1 to be insulted there. There have been some suggestions thnt it would be advisable for him to develon a "diplomatic Illness," In that case the royal speech might be rend by the premier. Ardent admirers ot the House of Savoy, however, point to the traditional courage of Its members nnd declare' it would be difficult to Imngine King Victor Emmanuel agreeing to, such n suggestion. Even if the king should not nttend the opening session, nnd therefore it would not be possible to insult him pcr sonnlly, the fact is being called to at tention that nothing could prevent the Socialists making nn niitl-monarchicnl demonstration if they were determined ho in fin. An element in conservative circles. however, hns suggested even such a rnd- Jool measure as me uimirimnu oi me king in favor of the Duke of Oosta, who Is especially popular with the army and among tho parties favorable to the re cent war. Cabinet Urged to Resign Friends of Tlttonl represent him as of the opinion thnt it would be better for the cabinet to resign because the ministers, through no fault of their own, have fniled to realize the country's ex pectations. It is pointed out thnt they have not succeeded In changing the at titude of President Wilson toward Italy. have not settled the Adriatic question and have sustained a reverse in the gen eral elections Consequently, rightly or wrongly, the majority pf public opinion is against them. In such n situation Tlttonl Is repre sented as believing thnt the men con ducting public uffuirs should have the force of character to put their country's good above all else, sacrificing them selves, even though they were con vinced they had done the best iu their power to serve the nation's Interest.
