Tweed, in 1867, instituted the one- man leadership method of control for the famous organization., Judge took over the job immediately from the steering committee which had been in control since the death of | Charles ¥, Murphy in April In some ways the new leader pos- sesses the same qualities that charac- terized his immediate predecessor. While he is not so silent as was Mur- phy, he is known among his political age to say no when it is required. His birthday was the same as that of Mr. Murphy. Judge Olvany was born June 20, 1876, eighteen years later than his predecessor. . The new leader was born on the East Side, near the boyhood home of Governor Smith, He is a friend of the governor. As chairman of the law committee, Judge Olvany had a part in every election involving a Tammany candi- date In the last five years, After his eclection he made.it known that he would pattern his leadership upon “I expect,” he said, “to follow out the same general policies as my pre- decessor. I don’t know a better man whose example I could follow.” Judge Olvany announced that un- der his guidance Tammany would support the Davis-Bryan ticket of the national democratic party. He also the Hylan administration in this city. This indicated political observers said that his selection was in the nature of the Smith and Hearst adherents With- in Tammany. Judge Olvany is an upstandinrg fig- ure with graying hair. Swimmicg is his hobby. He helongs to the Polas Bears, and swims dally, both in sum- wer and winter. Call 1s Too Strong “Phe call s too strong to resist,” Judge Olvany told the executive committee of Tammany Hall, after he had been escorted to the Fourteenth street wigwam by twa veterans of the organization—a man and “woman, both gray haired, Sucrogate James A, Foley, had bedn clected grand chief Jast May, immediately after Murphy's death; had accepted and then, on the advice of physicians, had declined the post. “In a few days T shall resign from the bench and undertake to carry on the work so capably, unselfishly and auccessfully performed by Charles F. Murphy for more than 22 years,” Judge Olvany's statement continued.

FRANK CRANE There are three devils, sworn enemies to the human race, at work night and day to exterminate us as quickly as possible, and to mak life miserable for us %o long as we cumber the ground. Their names are: Hurry, Worry and Tndecision. 1t is not work that wears us ouf, Yirst, Murry. suffer from jangled nerves, dyspeptic hecause they have done, not too much and crowded. The antidote to Hurry is System. Its immediate result is overstrain. but these three. And many people stomachs and sleepless nights, simply work, but work that was too confused Many a nervous wreck might be cured by a few first lessons in orderl: thinking. Second, Worry. As Hurry is from lack of order, s It is IPear.in its subtlest disguises, 0 Worry is from lack of courage. It comes camouflaged as a sense responsibility, or a natural anxiety, or a great love, or the religious feeling. Really it is sheer weakness, the cowardice of a nature that shrinks fron: the necessary give-and-take of the struggle for existence. If a thing is inevitable, adjust yourself to it. 1t responsibility is great, do your best and look pleasant. bravely. Third, Indecision. You never can know absolutely what is best. know only what is probably best. Degision rests on a balance of prol All forceful people decide quickly. it is a matter of habit.
