While Lung Infection Continues, They Say. MONARCH’S CONDITION GENERALLY UNCHANGED Tatest News Draws Throngs. Prince of Wales Due Home on December 13. By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 1.—A slight rise In King George's feverish condition was announced in the medical bulletin issued | at Buckingham Palace this morning. | The nation had been hoping that his macsty would make a steady, although necessarily slow, progress toward recov- ery. The knowledge that his fever was | higher, if only slightly, gave a tinge D{‘ uneasiness to public feeling.

Physicians at Palace. Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir Stan- ley Hewett, the King's physicians, were at the palace nearly two hours this morning, leaving shortly after their bulletin had been posted. This read as follows: A *In spite of his majesty having passed @ fair night, there has been a slight rise in temperature since yesterday. The general condition remains un- changed.” Because of yesterday's more favor- able reports on_his majesty’s condition, there was a falling off in the number of visitors through the palace gates during the night and a comparatively small gathering was present when the doctors’ bulletin was hung on the rail- ings this morning. The early crowd was succeeded, however, by a steady stream of people anxious for the lat- est news. Change Was Expected. It was indicated after this morning’s bulletin that its less satisfactory tone was not entirely unexpected by the King’s doctors. At the palace it was authoritatively stated that the King's condition bore out the statement in yes- terday’s bulletin that the possibility of exacerbation was not yet over and so long as this. are repared for a and flow in the Blnm. ‘The rise in“temperature today was one of the possibilities for which they have been d. Palace officials indicated that they did not regard this morning’s bulletin as alarming since the King’s general condi« tion remained unchanged. Prayers for King Asked. Queen Mary left the palace twice fistzrd&y, once spending nearly three urs in private visits. A call for prayers for the speedy recovery of the King was made by the new Archbishop of Canterbury in his first public letter, which was addressed to the Bishop of London. He urged the prayers be offered not only tomorrow but until all cause for anxiety had been removed. ‘The Prince of Wales is not expected to arrive in England earlier than De- cember 13 even by following the tenta- tive plan outlined by the admiralty and taking the fastest route across Europe. ‘The admiralty announced the prince ‘thad practically decided to leave the fast cruiser Enterprise at Suez and then gmceed by train to Alexandria.

The prince, who has been awaiting 1he arrival of the Enterprise at Dar-es- Salaam, Tanganyika, East Africa, left there to make a trip to Zanzibar, but he ‘was expected to return to the Tangan- yika port today. He would embark on the Enterprise tomorrow. CROATIAN FETE DAY MARKED BY VIOLENCE Anniversary of Union Ignored by Zagreb People. Save for Pro- i testing Gesture. By the Associated Press. BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, December 1. ~One person was killed and a police- man seriously injured today during vi- olent scenes at Zagreb which occurred during the celebration of the tenth an- niversary of the union of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. While official rep- resentatives were proceeding toa church to celebrate the union, three huge flags were displayed on the cathedral. Police forcibly entered the edifice and tore down the flags. This act was fol- lowed by violent scenes. The people of Zagreb refused to cele~ brate the holiday because of the murder of Croatian leaders in the Parliament at Belgrade last June. Papers there barely mentioned the fact that today was the tenth anniversary of the union. In Belgrade, however, the streets 4were bedecked with flags and crowded with happy throngs. Great processions of Sokols (athletic organizations), Scouts and other Nationalist organiza- tions passed through the streets to at- tend a service of thanksgiving in the Cathedral. All Belgrade papers published special editions giving the history of the union and an account of the progress made during the last 10 years. FRANCE PLANS ACTION. Will Seek to Prevent Further Po- litical Slayings by Foreigners. PARIS, December 1 (#)—Decision that France would take the most active measures to prevent further political assasisnations on French soil was Teached by the council of ministers to- day. The announcement was made after a Trg dgcussion during which the pres- af{fmon in Italy over the case of t ! ge di Modugno, who shot and killed ount Carlo Mardini, Italian vice con- #ul, in 1927, was mentioned. Modugno was sentenced on Wednesday to two years’ imprisonment.

Name Linked With That of Baldwin Baldwin in Mar- riage Rumor. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 1.—An un- heralded visit to the United States by Suzanne Lenglen, tennis marvel of France, provided material for a mystery today. With her mother and a young Ameri- can in a blue beret she landed incognito last night from a transatlantic liner, but why she came or whence she went could not be learned. In fact, her mother insisted Suzanne wasn't even here. “She is in France,” said Lenglen mere | in French as she sat atop 21 pieces of | luggage waiting for the customs inspec- tion, “she did not come on the steamer.” “No speak English.” said the young man in the beret in the best California | accent. | Those who know a temperamental French tennis star when they see one, however, insist that Mile.

The young man, it was discovered, was Thaddeus Winters of Pasadena, Calif., and there are reports that the home of Mrs. T. A. Winters in Pasodena is Suzanne's ultimate destination. She visited California on her professional tour of this country in 1926. Her bag- bage was consigned to the Savoy Plaza, but the conspiracy of silence held sway there, too, and if she was there she kept to_her room. Neither Suzanne's name nor her mother's was on the passenger list of the Italian liner, and the line's officers refused to discuss the matter. The relations of Winters with the Lenglens was not disclosed. Her name has been linked in marriage gossip with (Continued on Page 2, Column 3.)

VOTING CHE(;K PLANNED IN VARE-WILSON CASE Registration Lists Will Be Com- pared With Balloting in Six Disputed Counties. By the Associated Press. The Senate committee investigating the Vare-Wilson senatorial contest in Pennsylvania decided today to check registration lists with voters’ lists in the six disputed counties. Such a check 1is expected to consume considerable time and doubt was ex- pressed by Chairman Waterman whether the committee would be able to report on the contest within the short session of Congress opening Monday. The committee also has instructed counsel for William B. Wilson, the Dem- ocratic opponent of Senator-elect Vare, to classify their protest, and this éxpected to require additional time also. Meanwhile the special investigating committee of 1926, headed by Senator said, followed a recommendation by him to W. D.

GENERAL CORRUPTION SEEN, Majority of Customs Border Patrol De- clared Implicated. DETROIT, December 1 (#).—John R. Watkins, United States district at- torney, today said statements made by some of the 14 customs border patrol inspectors arrested yesterday on war- rants charging conspiracy to “assist liquor smuggling and with accepting bribes” implicated most of the remain- ing 112 members of the patrol. “From the statement of these men it appears that the entire patrol is honey- combed with corruption and money- taking,” Mr. Watkins said. ‘Twelve of the inspectors spent last night in the county jail after intensive individual questioning by Elmer J. Lewls, head of a squad of eight special customs agents from Washington. One man pleaded guilty and was ordered held to the grand jury on $2,500 bond. Three pleaded not guilty and two of these were released on bond. Ten of the men are o appear before the grand Jury today.

GAS FLAMES CONQUERED. Men Use Asbestos Suits to Ex- tinguish 21-Day Well Blaze. LOS ANGELES, December 1 (#).— Three men in asbestos suits, aided by cooling blasts from Hollywood movie wind machines and streams from fire hoses, yesterday turned a lever which shut off the Santa Fe springs gas well fire which had burned for 21 days. The damage to this well and loss incurred in the shutdown of nearby wells, was placed at more than $1,000,- 000. Three days before the gasser caught fire another gas well blaze in this field had been extinguished after 41 days of effort. Today other men tugged at the end of a 30-foot lever attached to the valve, but they were unable to move it until the three volunteers protected by their is | asbestos garments, penetrated to the very center of the heat zone. As they turned the lever, the long flame, which had burned in the night Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, is pre- paring a report on its charges against Senator Vare of excessive expenditures in the primary campaign. Waiting for Delet By the Associated Press. WARSAW, Poland, December 1.— The number of marriages has greatly diminished during the last month, since most Polish girls decided to ?gstponz their weddings until January in order not to have to promise obedience to their husbands. g From 1614 the Roman Catholic Church of Poland observed the rite ap- proved for that country by Pope Paul V. In 1920—that is, almost immediately after the re-establishment of the inde- pendence of Poland—the Polish bishops found it necessary to introduce ceftain d the 'he Pope changes into the rite and addr; Pope with such a propos4. like a giant candle, began to flicker. ‘Then it was snuffed out.

Therefore many girls decided to wait until January for their weddings.

Will Stay Overnight. MAY MEET BOLIVIAN DELEGATION IN CHILE Leaves Tomorrow for Callao, Peru, Second Port of Call in South America. By the Associated Press. U. 8. S. CLEVELAND, OFF GUAYA- QUIL, Ecuador, December 1.—Presi- dent-elect Hoover and his party were transferred from the U. S. 8. Maryland 1o the cruiser Cleveland this morning and the Cleveland immediately began her eight-hour run across the road- stead and up the river to Guayaquil, the principal port of Ecuador. Inasmuch as the Maryland could not 8o close enough to the coast to send the party ashore in small boats, the Cleve- land had been summoned from Central American waters so that Mr. Hoover might land on Ecuadorian soil, his first stopping place in South America on his good will tour. The Maryland arrived at her Ecua- dorean anchorage at 5 o'clock this morning and the transfer of the Hoo- ver party to the Cleveland was com- pleted safely at 6:20 am., the cruiser immediately starting on her run to Guayaquil. Will Remain at Hotel. Mr. Hoover and members of his party were to be guests of the Ecuadorean president at dinner. Mrs. Hoover was to return to the Cleveland for the night, but others of the party intended to re- main ashore at a hotel. Sunday the President-elect and his party are to board the Cleveland for the trip back to the Maryland and anchor will be weighed late in the day for Callao, Peru, the next port of call. From Callao the President-elect will go to Lima, the capital city, to be greeted and entertained by President Leguia. Ecuador, the country selected for the first stop in South America on the good will tour, has a population estimated at 2 million and a half, with cocoa as the principal product. - Time limitations will not permit the President-elect to visit Bolivia, but nevertheless he may be greeted by For- eign Minister Palaccio and other cabinet members. The Maryland is expected to the |Stop for that purpose at some Chilean port between Arica and Valparaiso. since Mr. Hoover has received numerous messages from Bolivian officials suggest- ing that they would like to greet the President-elect of the United States and would do so at any convenient port he might select. After the gentle ministrations of King Neptune's court on crossing the Equator many of the Hoover party are some- what stiff and sore. All, however, will keep vivid memories of the experience. Maryland's equatorial veterans outdid themselves in their initiation, knowing that Mr. Hoover would be a spectator. Associates of the President-elect say he declared that never in his 14 pre- vious passages of the Equator had he seen better “Neptuning.” DEAD MAN FOUND AT AUTO WHEEL Note and Bottle of Poison Explain Suicide Blamed on Thinking by D.

By Wireless to The Star and the New York Times. DUNEDIN, New Zealand, December 1—In a few hours the City of New York will pull out from this port to meet a gale, which is blowing outside, and start its long trip to the Antarctic in true wet fashion. No boat was ever 5o loaded as this one. She is down to the load line and stuff is still coming aboard. Every possible foot of space is filled. The salon is so full that one cannot get into it at all and Doc Coman and I are wondering if we can get - through in time to close the port and save our stuff. But loaded as she is, Capt. Melville still swears that she will float like a duck. No one who has not seen this de- parture can visualize the dramatic and exciting sequerices. All day long cranes have been dropping things on board— two houses, crates of planes, foodstuffs, dogs (who are yelping now in an un- happy chorus and making things just a little more hectic). The midship deck is loaded so high that the main sail may have to be reefed in order to set it at all. When one tries to go below it is almost impossible—one stumbles over cases and sacks and bundles at every turn. There was every expectation that she would sail this afternoon, but unavoid- able delays prevented. She will prob- ably start at daylight tomorrow. That is 4 am. (about 3 p.m. Saturday, New York time). 2,000 Spectators Present. Outside on the dock at least 2,000 persons are huddled behind police lines watching men sweat and steam over getting things aboard. No expedition ever had more loyal and hard-working men with it. To watch them one would think that they were working for the greatest prize in the world instead of almost paying for the privilege of going to a land where they will suffer and be unmercifully punished for the sake of scientific exploration. This thought was always in the minds of those who watched the load- ing today and one could not but feel that with a crew like this every situa- tion could be met, no matter how great a test. They are wonderful men and Comdr, Byrd smiles a beaming coun- tenance upon them as he overlooked the confusion and realizes how thoroughly his men are behind him. Whatever is before them they will give their ut- most and cannot help but come through. Ready to Cast Off. Balchen, June and the other pilots are helping Melville stow cases and houses on the midship deck, drums of gasoline are slinging up the side and finding places where there is no room, then joking as they see before them a night wiht no place to sleep. When the lines are cast off the ship of the Byrd expedition will start on a journey which has always been a severe handicap to every expedition which has been South. But no group of men ever started off with higher hearts or more enthus- {astic optimism. The long days of wait- ing are over, the work is about to start and although there is no place to sleep, no rest in sight for days, nobody cares and every one is happy. The universal word on board is “skoal,” the Norweigian word of good cheer. The great adventure is about to start. ight. 1928, by the New York Times 5 Rmd" the 'Ste" Louis Post.Disnateh.

NEW SHITH TRAL PLEA CONSDERED Chief Justice McCoy Takes Motion of Defense Attorney Under Advisement. Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy today took under advisement the motion for a new trial on behalf of Franklin E. Smith, 50-year-old bank watchman, who killed his 19-year-old daughter, Bessie L. Smith, September 26, at their home, 1151 New Jersey avenue, by strangling and smothering her to death. Attorney E. Russel Kelly, appointed by the court to defend the prisoner, insisted on his plea for a new trial on the theory that the court in its charge to the jury, failed to instruct on that trresistible impulse or inability to choose right from wrong, even though posessing the ability to distinguish right from wrong is a necessary element in the plea of insanity. Assistant Uniled States Attorney William H. Collins op- posed the granting of the motion. “I have my personal opinion on that preposition of law,” said the Chief Jus- tice, “but I am not sure that the Court of Appeals has not settled the matter for this jurisdiction in some cases where insanity was defined by that tribunal. I want to re-read these de- cisions, so will take this motion under advisement.” TWO FISHERMEN MISSING. Plane Seeks Men When Boat Is Found Sunk Off Florida.

FOUR GRID GAMES HOLD LIMELIGHT Georgetown-Detroit Battle May Help Settle Cloudy Title Claims. Georgetown's foot ball team is figur- ing in one of the four big grid battles that are being staged in the ccuntry today, the Blue and Gray meeting the unbeaten University of Detroit eleven in the city of automobiles. It was con- sidered an even battle. In the other three clashes that are holding the limelight, Army and Stan- ford are meeting in New York, Notre Dame is on the Coast for & contest with Southern California and Bosten Col- lege, another undefeated eleven, is fac- ing Holy Cross in Boston. ‘These games should serve to clarify the claims to the national title. Army might establich itself by beating Stan- ford, Detroit would have a fine claim if it can dispose of Georgetown and Bos- ton College would remain very much in the running by defeating Holy Cross. Southern California is the Pacific Coast Conference champion, so that Notre Dame has a grand chance to spill the beans for the west coasters and at the same time add to its pres- tige, although it is out of the title chase. Washington is interested in the service game for the President’s cup which is being staged between the Quantico Marines and the Newport Na- val Training Station eleven at Grifith stadium at 2 o'clock. It not only should be a good foot ball game, but should be colorful and highly enter- taining from its other aspects. Games listed today other than those mentioned are: Loyola vs. DePaul at Chicago. The Citodel vs. Presbyterian at Charleston, S. C. Havana vs. Howard at Havana, Cuba. Clark vs. Knoxville College at Atlanta. SEVEN ARE RESCUED WHEN TUG IS SUNK Everett, Wash., Harbor Lashed by Gale, With Small Craft Hardest Hit. By the Associated Press. EVERETT, Wash, December 1.— Seven men were rescued from the storm-tossed waters of Puget Sound last night after a gale, which tore their tugboat Bay Island and harassed small craft in the harbor here. Although the United States Weather Bureau reported that the storm was centered in British Columbia and was reaching out over Washington today, a small area around Everett apparently was the only section to suffer. The :’torm was moving in an easterly direc- on. The tugboat was the only sizeable powered craft known to have been a victim of the storm. When it sank suddenly the seven men comprising its crew were left clinging to a dolphin for more than an hour before ‘were lifted from the cold waters by the tug Elmore. They were brought here, ap- parently suffering little from ure. Scows torn from their mool and disrupted log booms were scattered about the sound, while small boats were battered on the beach. A corps of tugs spent the night rounding up the logs and scows. A sunken scow blocked a ferry landing and other scows hemmed in the Pacific Tugboat Co.'s wharf. A 75-foot smokestack was blown down here and other nominal losses were re- CAMPAIGN PLEDGES COMPLICATE TASK OF 707H CONGRESS Farm Relief and Tariff Revi- sion Put on Schedule With Many Holdovers.

However, the ever-present problem of farm relief and the new one of tariff revision is holding the attention of the re-session _discussions with a riendly contest in the Senate as to who is to succeed Vice President-elect g:drus as Republican leader of that y. Opinion of the Republican leaders who have the u hand in both the House and the Senate has been divided as to whether farm relief in the form of a marketing measure should be pressed at the short session or left to an extra session which Mr. Hoover has promised if the problem not disposed of at the short session.
