Hartford Veterd Still in Hos- pital Fojjowing His Alleged Kill- ing of Mrs. Clare Gaudet of New Haven—Has Sclf-laflicted Wound Which Will Cause Loss of Sight in One Eye, Doorn, Holland, Jan. 24 (UP) —Former Kaiser Wilhelm has won a battle—a battle of a road. Dutch authorities have accept- ed Wilhelm's plan for a new road against those of ome of Doorn's greatest landowners. Original pians for the road would have divided a rose gar- den which had he presented to Doorn, and of which he was very proud. Wilhelm got out his maps and figured out an alterna- tive route. The landowner contended heat- edly for the original plan, as it would have gone across one of his estates and meant a large sum in compensation for him. But the white.haired, white- beared tormer Kaiser, despite his 69 years, fought back by argu- ment, letter and telegram, and won. The government sent en- gipeers to examine his plan, and the government accepted thelr favorable report. 'HARTFORD TIMES Hartford, Jan. {f—Dr. Har- | old N.
