The doctors sald their patient's strength was increasing daily and his appetite was apparently growing with each successive meal. His spir- its have never once been depressed during his illness. Road to Recovery The fact that the marshal was al- lowed to leave his bed for a few minutes seemed to indicate that he was on the road to recovery espe- cially since each successive bulletin for several days has recorded pro- gress. Concern over his condition, will continue to persist until the doctors are able to say with confi- dence that the patient has reached the stage of recuperation. The marshal, although scrupulous- 1y ohedient to all the commands of bis doctors insists on discussing ev- of his iliness with them ‘the reasons for the various treatments prescribed.

The secretary set forth in detail his objections to the immediate ap- propriation of more money for en- forcement in a reply to a telegram bearing the signatures of Bishop Cannon, Bishop Thomas Nicholson, head of the Anti-Saloon League and Eugene L. Crawford, sccretary of the board of temperance and social service of the Methodist Epsicopal church, south. The dry leaders had expressed amazement at Mr. Mel- lon's rejection of the appropriation offer. . . Acceptance of the money Mr. Mellon said, “would break down the safeguards of the budget system and the effective and proper control which congress exercises over the expenditure of public funds.” 'BOYNTON MADE ACTING HEAD OF TRADE SCHOOLS | Meriden Man Will Temporarily Fil§ Vacancy Caused by Board’s Relieving Trinder.

Health D Will Not Be A threat published by the water department in which property own- ers are advised that they must set- tle their accounts with that divi- sion of the city government or the service in their homes will be dis- continucd, was nullified today by the health department's pronounce- ment that such action would invite & menace to health and could not be countenanced. The. water department advertised recently its charter powers in this respect, quoting from the section governing rentals, which reads: “Upon failure of any person to pay such bills and charges, said board may discontinue the supply of wa- ter to such person or to the proper- ty of such persons, or take such other action for the collection: of such rents and charges as is by law provided.” General powers in avoidance of disease are given the health board through a charter regulation which HOOVER OFF ON TRIP T0 BELLE ISLE, FLA.

No ceremony was arranged to ac- company the departure, but a small crowd had gathered at Union station to see Mr. and Mrs. Hoover board their train, Although he has completed since his ‘veturn from Bouth America a busy twe weeks-ef study of the R o et Mr, her task before of his inaugural address. While he is undergtood to have drafted most of its major points, the preparation of the speech probably will occupy much of hia time during the Filorida visit. ‘While in Florida, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover will be guests at the J.

The resignation is un- derstood to have been prepared for presentation at the monthly meet- ing of the board of regents. Members of the board, speaking unofficially, sald they had not been informed of the resignation, but that it probably would be accepted it offered. Reports that Dr. Little would re- sign have been current for several days. Disagreement between the president and regents over adminis- tration policies, and friction with alumni organizations have been ad- vanced as probable reasons for the predicted " action. The resignation would take effect Beptember 1, but it was understood Dr. Little would request a leave of absence, beginning June 1. He said yesterday he had been offered no other position, but it is known he has under consideration a plan to continue his resecarch work in can- cer under the Rockefeller Founda- tion. Dr. Little aroused strong antago- nism and equally vigorous support soon after he came here from the iUniversity of Maine in September, 1925, by public advocacy of “sane form" of birth control, a ban on student use of motor cars, de- nouncement of the so-called black list of the D.
