Amsterdam, Holland, Nov. 30 UP»— The Telegram, an old fashioned or- gan in Amsterdam, today published a story in connection with the death of Admiral Scheer of Germany in which 1t is stated that the Kaiser declined to go to sea and fight and die in a last desperate sally of the German fleet in 1918. Ondered to Attack The newspaper says that in Octo- ber, 1918, the German navy received orders to attack the British fleet. Admiral Scheer who had succeeded Admiral Von Holtzendorff as chief of the German naval general staff, agreed, but only on condition that the Kaiser accompany him on his flagship and assume nominally su- preme command. In this demand, the paper says, 8cheer had not only the support of practically all naval officers but also that of Prince Max Von Baden, General Ludendorft and Admiral Tirpitz. The latter felt that the Kaiser's presence with the fleet would ‘sally all sections of the population around the throne. Plans Admiral Bcheer thereupon pro- ceeded to arrange with the Kaiser details of the battle. The Kaiser fell in with the fleet's demand, de- claring that he could not conceive of a more noble death than that of dying at-the head of the fleet in & last glorious attempt to defend free- dom end honor. \fter this inter- view, the admiral Anmediately lagt for Kisl to make everything ready and it was arranged that the fleet should sail on its dangerous mission on a Thursday. On the preceding Monday, how- ever, a message was received from Willlam stating that he would not be able té accompany the fleet after all. The exact contents of this mes- sage were never known, as Admiral Scheer tore it In small pieces and burned it in order, as he declared, to prevent the Kaiser's *confession of cowardice” from becoming known. Refuses The Kaiser insisted meanwhile that the fleet should sail, but Ad- miral Scheer refused to entertain (Continued on Page 3.) HONEYMOON CONCERT FOR FAMOUS STARS Nanette Guilford and Max Rosen, Newlyweds, January 15 An erstwhile boy violinist and the “baby of the opera,” who for years| admired more than each other’s mu- sical gifts, have had the spotlight of the musical world turned upon them by being married; and most piquantly of all to New Britainites, the pair while on their honeymoon will appear on the same concert platform in New Britain. This musical romance has en- gulfed the hearts of Nanette Guil- ford, who in 1923, at the age of 18, made her debut with the Metropoli- tan Opera, and Max Rosen, violinist, who, as a little Roumanian prodigy, was discovered on the East Side of New York and from there has fid- dled his way into the hall of fame. Rosen made his sensational debut at Carnegie Hall 10 years ago. Both musicians have kept well to the top since their early triumphs. And it became known today that last Fri- day the pair suddenly decided to be married. They wanted to keep it secret, and succeeded for nearly a week. Mr. and Mrs. Rosen will appear on the same’ platform at the Capitol theater on Sunday, January 15, when they will give the second con- cert in the subscription course of the New Britain Civic Music assoctation. Mrs. Rosen, who will continue to keep her stage name of Nanette Guilford, was to have given the first concert with Rudolph Ganz, but for some reason the local association could not fathom at the time, she preferred to appear with Max Rosen at the second concert; so Carmela Ponselle, originally booked for the second concert, was substituted for the first. Both of the newly wed artists have the season choked with en- gagements. Part of the time Rosen will be In the west while Miss Gull- ford will be at the Metropolitan. So far as is known here, only the New Britain engagement will enable them to be together on the same platform. The fact that the pair were (Continued on Page 33.)

Rise of Rates Inflicts Losses New York, Nov. 30 UP—Ten per cent call money, making its first ap- pearance since Oct. 1, coupled with & bad break in Canadian Marconi on the New York curb market, forced a sharp reaction in prices on the New York stock exchange this afternoon after an early outburst of bullish enthusiasm had carried more than a score issues to new high rec- ords.

Return of the city meeting board or some similar institution in the city government, and re-establish- ment of civil service in the fire and police departments are two items of | major importance in the schedule of proposals to come before the char- ter revision committee whose initial mesting, Monday night at the office of the mayor, will concern itself chiefly with organization and gen- eral discussion ‘of the charter. Hall May Be Chairman Senator Edward F. Hall, because of his intimate knowledge of the city’s bagic Jaw and his chairman- ship over two previous committees on ravisien, js expected to head this (group of revisers. Beth prapositions mentioned above ‘wepe dropped from the charter after several years of trial, a fact which promises soms resistance to their | ve-enactment. Civil service had e much longer trial and its relegation was traced more to the methods em- ployed than to apposition to the sys- tem. The city meeting board of near- ly 200 members, consisting of 24 | electors from each ward, the com- mon coyncil and the _board of finance and taxation, was found to be unwieldy and did not create the interest it was expected to, with the result.that it was dispensed with and final authority on appropriations vested in the common council. Civil Service for Department ‘The civil service plan will be for- mally before the committee by rea- son of a resolution introduced by Councilmen Willam D. Boyle, who is & member of the revision committee and who is expected to present his arguments when the resolution is ed that it will have the support of Mayor Paonessa and the police and fire boards. The latter commission has been making an effort to estab- lish a system of tests to determine the mental capacity and general knowledge of applicant, but has been able to make but little progress. Before his election last spring, Mayor Paonessa, responding to an inquiry made of him by Martin J. Kelly who addressed an open letter to all candidates, declared in favor of a board of control, created along the general lines of the city meeting board, but of fewer members. The mayor also discussed the proposition in his message to the common coun- cil, expressing a conviction that the (Continued on Page Two) HORSE WINS FIRST POINT IN NEIGHBORHOOD FIGHT Bullding Inspector Rules Richard Street Garage May Be Used As Stable.

London, Nov. 30 (M — King George's condition showed improve- ment today, but it was regarded that he is by no means out of danger as yet. Reported Better 1 An ofticial bulletin issued by his physicians early this afternoon istated: “The inflammation of the lung and pleura shows some {mprove- !ment., The temperature is slightly lower. The time of possible exacer- bation of the infection, it must be noted, has not yet passed and in any icase progress must be slow.” This bulletin was posted after a ,prolonged visit by Sir Stanley Hew- jett and Lord Dawson of Penn, the King’s physicians, during which they called a third eminent physician, 18ir Humphrey Rolleston, into con- |sultation. The alarm which the call- ing of Sir Humphrey migkt natural- ly have caused was headed off by a simultanieous semi-officjal statement saying that his majesty was a little better all around today and the regular bulletin, when issued, cor- firmed this earlier communication. Review Case The doctors took their time re- viewing carefully the whole position of the case, its present aspects and ments. Consequently their usual bulletin was given out nearly two hours later than customary. The information that there has ibeen sonf®é improvement in the con- dition of the inflamed lung and pleura and a little recession of the fever, caused much gratification, but it was noted that the bulletin ena- ed with the precaution that the ma- lady has not yet passed the stage where aggravation of the infection {would not be possible and made clear to the public that in any event there could not be a rapid convalescence for his majesty since progress necessarily must be slow. Leading Doctor Sir Humphrey reached the palace after Lord Dawson and Sir Stanley had been with the king about an hour. Sir Humphrey, a new figury among the advisers in the present illness, has won a high place In the medical profession and holds a nua- ber of important positions in Great Britain.

West Haven, Conn., Nov. 30 (P— Jealousy is believed to have been the motive in the killing and suicide of Mrs. Audrey Dudley, 26, and William J. Brocar, 30, whose bodies were found in a parked car on Dog- man road, Allingtown, last night. Brocar is married and is the father of two children while Mrs. Dudley { has been separated from her hus- iband and has a six year old daugh- ter. Many Gifts Brocar, according to the dead wo- man’s mother and neighbors, had been ‘“running around” with Mrs. Dudley for more than a week, and had showered her with gifts during that time. Last evening, it is alleg- ed, they were heard quarreling vio- lently prior to the ride that endea both their lives. Brocar, it is believ- ed, had accused the woman of not being “on the level” with him. A short time after the argument, Bro- car and Mrs. Dudley drove off in his car. Found By Farmer The bodies were discovered by Jultus Melnycryn, a farmer, who was driving neighbors to their home, jafter spending the holiday with his tamily.
