. KINGS PROGRESS T0 BE VERY SOW Public Cheered Once More De- spite Restless Night London, Jan. 3 (M—With King George entering the seventh week of his serious illness word came from the royal bedside today which was encouraging in its general tone, al- though it continued to indicate his road to recovery was likely to be & long, hard one. The morning medical bulletin re- ported no change in the king's con- dition. His night was a restless one and to this fact his failure to con- tinue the improvement reported last night presumably might be at- tributed. Public Warned The public had been warned, how- ever, that the king's progress must be expected to be very slow. There was no apparent disposition to view the situation in any way differently | from yesterday when cheering pre- dictions of the monarch’s sure, if slow emergency from his prolonged ordeal, came from authoritative quarters. | It was indicated in palace circles | that today's bulletin was not regard- | ed as unsatisfactory. Although the | king for the second time in succes- sion spent a restless night, there has been no definite check in the prog- ress he has been making. ‘This, it was noted, would appear to indicate that his majesty has a slightly better reserve of strength upon which to draw. Try to Locate Slayer Of Little Utah Girl Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 3 (P— Bpurred on by a $1,000 reward of- fered by state and county, peac?d officers continued their efforts last night to run down the slayer of 12- year-old June Nelson, whose muti- lated body was found in & creek mear here yesterday. The cause of the girl's death was strangulation, an autopsy revealed. Her face was underneath the wa- ter when her body was found, and it had been thought she might not have been dead when she Wwas thrown there, but had drowned be- fore she could drag herself to the bank. Police revealed yesterday that a youth has been frequenting public coasting lanes here this winter, in- veigling young girls into his auto- mobile on pretense of arresting them, and then mistreating them. ‘Absolve Major Ashby From Accident Blame Chicago, Jan. 8 (P)—Police last night absolved Major Wilbert B. Ashby, wealthy Lake Forest, IIl, architect, and his chauffeur, James Norton, of all blame in connection with the death New Year's eve of Policeman John Sacht. Sacht was struck and carried & block on the bumper of an automo- bile resembling Major Ashby's before his body fell beneath the wheels. Policeman John Barry identified Major Ashby’s car as the one which I had struck him and Sacht about half an hour before the car, with its left headlight and fender dented, was found abandoned several blocks away. Major Ashby said his car was stolen about an hour before Sacht was killed. TO BE REPRESENTED Montevideo, Uruguay, Jan. 3 (®— The president and foreign minister yesterday agreed to accept the invi- tation transmitted by the United Btates minister to appoint one rep- resentative to the conciliation tri- bunal to investigate the Bolivia- Paraguayan dispute. ™ Report of the LANDLORD CUTS RENT FOR CHRISTMAS GIFT Sends Notes $0 Temants Who Shout “Am't 3t s Grand sad Glorious Feeling” The public in general has an idea that the average landlord is a hard- boiled, unsympathetic individual whose only interest is to give the prospective tenant plenty of en- couragement, little conveniences and no heat if possible, but this is not the case among tenants of the Lincoln Apartments on Lincoln street, owned and operated by F. W. Loomis of Harrison street. Along about Yuletide each ten- ant received a letter from the of- fice of the owner, but no one dared to open it for fear of reading bad news, about paying higher rents from: the first of the year, or eut- ting down the electric light bills, or something else that the landlord did not like about the general run of things in the apartments, The letters had to be opened sooner or later and the news what- ever it may be, consumed. One by one the envelopes were torn open andgat the same time the faces of the readers beamed with joy. The letters stated that from the first of the year rents would be reduced by $2 on each apartment. There is a Santa Claus after all, even among the landlords, tenants say. ELECTRIC LINES ONN. Y, CENTRAL Project Will Cost 75 Millions, Paper Says New York, Jan. 3 (M—The New York Times says today that the New York Central railroad has un- der consideration a plan to electrify its system between New York and Buffale and use power from Nia- gra Falls. The project would cost from $75,000,000 upward. The projected system of electri- fication would cover a distance of nearly 500 miles, surpassing the 300-mile electrification project re- cently announced by the Pennsyl- vania raflroad. It would further expand the capacity of the New York Central which already is quadrupling its lines at many of the points where four tracks are not already used. Although news that & power sur- vey is under way was confirmed by | the New York Central the railroad said no conclusion on the electri- fication project had been reached. “For several years, power com- panies, in conjunction with our own engineers, have been making sur- veys of our possible future power needs,” said a statement from the president’s office of the New York Central. “These surveys are a nor- mal procedure inasmuch as the railroad has to look ahead many years. While the results of some of these surveys have been laid before the company, no conclusion as to the possible electrification of our lines between Corton-on-the-Hud- son and Buffalo, N. Y., has been reached.” A special committee in which the mechanical engineering department of the New York Central is repre- sented has been conferring with power company officials on the electrification of the raflroads.

A young man named Vidutis was taken from (his home here on Fairview street as a suspect but the woman who made the complaint could not iden- tify him and he was not held. Lieutenant Bamforth was notifi: of the presence of the window peep- {er and he detailed Sergeant McAvay |and Officer Hellberg to investigatc. They saw a man running through the yards and gave chase but he had a handicap which they could not overcome. Sergeant McAvay thought he saw him run into the Vidutis home and followed but Vidutis de- nied that he had been about the neighboord.

BLAINE ASKS FOR RESERVATION Kellogg Treaty Again Hits a Snag ‘Washington, Jan. 3 (P—A seccond olution of reservation to the Kel- logg Treaty was placed before the |senate today by Senator Blaine, re- publican, of Wisconsin, who pro- posed that Great Britain's corres- pondence in connection with the treaty negotiations be not considered as allowing that nation any “reserve’” in its adherence. The resolution, offered just’ prior to the time set for the treaty to be taken up, recited the language of Great Britain in its note accepting the invitation to join in th: treaty. This w “His majesty's govern- ment have been at pains to ma clear in the past that interferenc with these region: (designated as of vital importance to England) “cannct be suffered.

Smith spent his first day as a pri vate citizen with about as much privacy as he had as a presidential candidate. “Not a chance, not a chance,” he said rather sadly in his suite at the Biltmore hotel as he gave his usual daily newspaper audience. 5,000 persons have telephoned here since this morning and with six newspaper reporfers sitting around this room you'd hardly call it a pri- vate citizen's home, would you? He said he had no plans other than to rest a while and then take a trip to Florida. Mr. 8mith has taken an office suite in the Produce building, at 43d street and Madison avenue, just across from the Biltmore. {Rockefeller Off On Trip to Egypt New York., Jan. 3 (®—John D, Rockefeller, Jr., sailed last night aboard the Ttalian liner Augustus for a rest and to observe progress and results of Egyptian excavations, a subject in which he said he had heen interested for a number of years.

While most ob- servers regarded the set-back as a natural correction of a temporarily top-heavy speculative position, some selling also is believed to have been influenced by fears of a large in- crease in loans, and a possible ad- | vance in the federal reserve redis- count rate, A delay of ¢4 minutes in the stock ticker tape just before 1 p. m., also inspired profit-taking because of the virtual impossibility ~of keeping promptly informed of developments on the floor.
