News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLHED 187 NEW BRITAIN HERALD ENGLAND TENSELY AWAITING FURTHER OFFICIAL NEWS OF KING GEORGE; CRISIS NEAR Fleet Street Reluctantly Forced to Conclusion That Royal Patientis in Critical Condition After Three Weeks' Iliness. Bulletins From Bucking- ham Palace Fail to Give Public Much Information Concerning, Monarch — Nation Thinks Ruler in “Grave” State. London, Dee. 10 (UPM—England this evening was waiting with tense anxiety for further official bulletias concerning the progress of King George. Crisls Soon Fleet street, the great metropoli- tan newspaper center, and indeed the whole of the public have been reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the next two or three days will be critical ones for his majesty. Three weeks of grievous {liness have 80 undermined the king's re- cuperative power and so severely taxed his heart that his life un- doubtedly is in danger. This does not mean that an eventuality must necessarily be expected, but it -does mean that it is distinctly possible. Little Information The official bulletins from Buck- ingham palace have not given the public much information upon which to base an accurate opinion regarding the king’s condition. However, use of the word “anxiety” in today's bulletin was interpreted as a distinct warning that a grave condition existed. The royal physi- clans, it is felt, would never employ such phraseology except in an emergency. ‘Whether the Kking's physicians have rcal hopes of his majesty's re- covery is not known. In accordance with custom they are restricting their views to themselves, those im- mediately connected with the royal family and the government. Even the officlals of Buckingham palace today were reluctant to discuss any phase of the situation. Nation Anxious London, Dec. 10 (® — King George's condition is still causing anxiety. The king's physiclans made this clear in their bulletin this morning which otherwise was of a somewhat more encouraging character than those of the last day or two. Th.y reported his temperature was some- what lower despite a restless Light und that his general condition was slightly improved. Serious Condition ‘The admonition with which the bulletin closed, however—that anx- iety must continue—held the warn- ing that the royal patient's case was still & very serious one, with (Continued on Page 17) PEARSON FUNERAL T0 BE HELD TODAY All Trains of New Haven Road to Come to Stop New Haven, Dec. 10 (#)—Repre- sentatives of every branch of rail- roading and of the great rallroad systems of the United States were in attendance here today at the funeral of Edward Jones Pearson, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad who died in Bal- timore, Md., on Friday, less than two weeks after he had submitted his resignation as president of the road because of contiued ill-health. The funeral services were sched- uled to be held in Battell chapel at Yale university at 2 p. m. and it was planned to have every train, street car, bus, and boat operated by the New Haven road come to a stop for one minute at that time. General and divisional offices of the road were ordered closed for the balance of the afternoon. President Pear- son’s body was removed from his private car “New England” to Bat- tell chapel early today after having lain in state since Saturday night when it arrived here. Immediately after the funeral services over which the Rev. Elmere McKee, pas- tor of the Church of Christ of Yale was to preside, the body was to be taken to Fresh Pond, L. I, for cre- mation. Pallbearers selected were, with the exception of one man, all chair- men of various railroad laber or- ganizations. Honorary bearers in- cluded the board of directors and executive officers of the New Haven road, and the heads of various sub- sidlary companies. WALES RUSHES T0 FATHER'S BEDSIDE Disembarks From Cruiser Boarding Train in Seven Minutes SPEEDING ACROSS EUROPE Helr t0 British Throne Leaves En- terprise at Brindisi, Italy, Where Private Car and Speclal Train Waited His Disposal. Brindisi, Italy, Dec. 10 (A—The Prince of Wales, speeding home- ward to the bedside of King George, landed from the cruiser Enterprise at 12:28 p. m. and just seven min- utes later left for London by special train, Looks Well The prince wore a black check overcoat, light check trousers and low shoes. He looked healthy and well tanned by the African sun but hardly replied to the greetings. A crowd had gathered despite a down- pour of rain. A force of 100 Italian sailors, one company of infantry and one com- pany of aviators lined route from the ship to the train, but in accordance with the prince's request, no military honors were rendered. The troops merely stood at attention. Private Car The prince entered the private car placed at his disposal by the Itallan crown prince and did not appear at the window when the train left at 12:30 p. m. to shoot across Europe for the French chan- nel coast. No Interruption Lugano, Bwitzerland, Dec. 10 —Although the British delegation here inquired whether the train of the Prince of Wales, due from Brindisi, Italy, at 6:45 a. m. tomor- row, would stop at Lugano, it was explained that no arrangements had been made for interrupting the journey of the prince to the bed- side of his father. First reports were that 8ir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign minister, might ac- company the prince for a few miles in order to give him the latest ad- vices from London. It was stated, however, that it would be “pre- sumptuous” for the British repre- sentatives to think of delaying the journey of their prince. FIRE DESTROYS COTTAGE AT LAKE POGOTOPAUG Summer Home of Charles Staub Consumed By Flames Soon After Owner Leaves A cottage at Lake Pocotopaug, owned by Charles Staub of 31 Columbia street, this city, was de- stroyed with its contents by fire of undetermined origin last night.

They returned to their home here shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and were notified of the fire last night. ‘They are at a loss to account for the cause of the blaze.

Sheridan, Mich., Dec. 10 (#—Miss Flossie Carter, pretty Sheridan school teacher, was found yesterday beaten to death in her small coupe parked on a little travelled road. She had been criminally attacked, there were marks on her throat and face, and her clothing had been torn nearly away. The teacher’s head had been apparently with an axe. Beside the body, which was found by Ray Collier, 14 year old hiker, there was a note. It read: “I did this myself. Please don’t blame anyone else—Miss Carter.” The handwriting resembled that of Miss Carter but friends declared it was not hers. The note was written on an envelope addressed by her.

There he entralned {mmediate- ly for Santiago. It was the second time in history that the president of Chile personal- ly journeyed to the railway station casion being the visit of a president {of Rolivia. The president and all members of the cabinet accompanied Mr. Hoover from the station to the American embassy where the president-elect had lunch. Then about 2:30 Mr Hoover went to the national palace and paid a formal call upon the Chilean executive. The official program included sev- eral formal meetings between Presi- dent-Elect Hoover and President Ibanez, luncheons, dinners and re- ceptions as well as other opportuni- ties for private or less formal meet- ings where opportunity will be af- forded for an exchange of opinions and viewpoints on matters of in- terest.

WINS RIGHT T0 USE ‘ROTO-VERSO' Patent Office Approves Trade Mark for Wash- ing. Machines By GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Correspondent, N. B. Herald) Washington, D. C., Dec. 10—Lan- ders, Frary & Clark of New Britain, |Conn., can go ahead using “Roto- | Verso” as a trade mark for laundry washing machines in spite of the complaints of the Apex Electrical Mfg. Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, which uses “Rotarex” on a washing ma- !chine of its own. | “Roto-Verso” and *Rotarex” are | different enough so that the public is not likely to make any mistake |about the two machines, in the opiu- |lon of First Assistant Patent Com- missioner Kinnan. The fact that the ¥ nd comcern had first used ‘Rotarex” does not, so Kinnan holds, affects the right of the New DBritain company to use “Roto-Verso.” The prefixes “Roto” and “Rotar™ are decriptive and the marks are not i’o!herwlle similar, according to a de- {clsion just handed down by Kinnan {in the matter of the complaint of the | Cleveland company against the New Britain corporation. “There seems to be no other con- clusion possible,” says Kinnan, “than that these prefixes ‘Rotar’ and ‘Roto’ are so descriptive of the goods as to be public property, In- capable of exclusive appropriation by anyone and incapable of indi- cating origin or ownership of such goods. There is no similarity between the two suffixes of the marks. That of the applicant suggests that there is a reverse movement of the ro- tary portion of the machine. . . The purchasing public, it is deemed clear, would not attach any such sig- nificance to this suffix ‘ex.’ It is be- lieved correct to hold that there is no similarity of meaning and of course there is no similarity in sound or spelling in the two suffixes of the two marks.” After noting the fact that many registered marks include the prefix “Rota,” “Rotar” or “Rota” as sug- gesting rotation of some part of the machine, he said; “They tend to support the con- |clusion that the average purchaser would give this descriptive sig- nificance to the prefiixes of both of these marks. It is believed the hold- ’(ng in the various cases relied upon by the examiner of interference and by the applicant, warrant the con- lusion that the opposition should be dismissed. {New England Council Meets At Providence Boston, Dec. 10 (UP)—Financing of the New England sales plan— the program for “selling” New Eng- land to the rest of the country— will be considered at the 13th quar- terly meeting of the New England council at Proidence, R.

Cobh, Ireland, Dec. 10 P)— Part of the crew of the liner Celtic landed this afternoon, the master and officers remaining aboard to supervise efforts to refloat her as soon as the tide was high. All of the 253 passengers had previously been safely debarked from the liner which at 5:30 tonight remain firmly fixetd on a ledge of rocks at the en- trance of the harbor where she stranded early this morning. At that hour no effort had been made to refloat the ship and the probability of saving the vessel was said to be very doubt- ful. Bixteen feet of water were said to be in her engine depart. ment. Officials of the White Star line and insurance officials will visit the ship tomorrow, coming from Liverpool. Cobh, (Queenstown) Ireland, Dec. 10 (M—The White Star liner Celtic, which left New York on December 1, with 263 passengers, ran on the rocks off Roches Point at the en- trance of the harbor early today and at low tide was held fast in 15 feet of water with' the possibility that she might break up if she did not get off on the next tide. g All of the passengers were rescued, being debarked safely in tenders despite rough water around the stranded liner. A British destroyer cooperated in the work and aided in bringing the passengers to mafety through the harbor to the docks.” | Severe List ' The liner, which stove a hole di- rectly under her engineroom, was lying with a severe list to port. She struck the rocks near the lighthouse at Roches Point at 5:40 a. m. She was within a short distance of where transatiantic vessels usually cast anchor to meet tenders. A gale had been in progress off the eoast and the pilot had been unable to ¥o aboard. It was stated that there was 12 feet of water in some of the compartments. The Dutch tugs Gelizee and Moryceock triéd to tow the liner off the rocks, but were unsuccessful and preparations were made to make an- other eflort to get her off on the next tide. For this reason members of the crew remained aboard the liner after the passengers had been re- moved. 87 Cacin The passenger assengers list of the Celtle (Continued on Page 16) 'STANLEY WORKER FOR PAST 48 YEARS DIES A.
