Day of Anxiety for
Kipling's Friends.
HEROIC TREATMENT
Condition Considered Elk
tremeIy Critical.

New York, Feb. 26.--There was
general impression about the hotel
Grenoble at o'clock this afternoon
that Mr.. Kipling's condition was worse
than at any time since he became Ill.
DR.. Janeway arrived at The hotel at
$3.50 p. m. and as he was not expect
ed until later in the afternoon, it looked
as II there had been a sudden change
for the worse, and that the physician
had been called.
He remained in the hotel until Ais
and then left, returning in half an
hour Almost at tho same time an OK
ygen tank was brought to the hotel and
taken up to the Kipling apartments on
the first floor. That The oxygen was
to be administered was practically add
mitted by Dr. Janeway.
This is heroic treatment, and is re-
sorted to only in extreme cases. Both
DR.. Janeway and DR.. Durham were
with Mr.. Kiplng alternately during
last night, and both were in attend
ance on him early IN the morning. At
$50 o'clock the following bulletin was
issued:
"Rudyard Kfpling remains in a crit
ical condition. The disease continues.
II g. Janeway, M. d.
''Theo Durham, M. D."
Soon after 10 o'clock, DR.. Janeway,
Jr, son of DIR. f. G. Janeway was also
called in consultation, concerning the
critical condition OF Mr. Kipling DR.
Durham came from the sick chamber
soon after IL o'clock. His wife is a sis
ter Of Mrs. kipling
Is Mr.. Kipling suffering from pneu-
monia?' DIR. Durham was asked
we will call it Inflammation Of ths
lungs" he replied
If he gets through today, will he be
safe?"
"If he gets through today he will be
much nearer TO safety" said Dr. Dun
ham.
AT $50 y. m the following bulletin
was posted: Mr. K1pling still remains
IN, critical condition. e. G. Janeway,
M d., Theo. Durham, M. D."
DIR. Janeway would not tell anything
about Mr.. KipHngs condition, saying
that there was nothing to add To the
bulletin. 1t was learned, however from
other sources that Kipling is extremely
weak. At times he recognizes those
around him. Those at the bedside are
Or. Durham, Mrs. Kipling, her mother,
Mrs. Balestier, Mr.. Doubleday the
children and two nurses
An order has been issued from the
hotel office that no letters or notes
shall be sent to the rooms unless they
are OF the utmost Importance, and then
only when the names of the senders are
known There is a constant stream OF
visitors at the Grenoble asking for in
formation about the author.
The clerk is kept busy receiving
cards. Some Of the callers were admit
TED this morning to the sick chamber
Among those favored few We're w d
Howefls, Nikola Tesla, S. S. Mcclure
and Charles Battell LOOMS
The following bulletin was issued at
7 o'clock tonight: "Mr. Kiplng's con-
dition has been very serious during
this, the sixth day of the disease. Civ
ing rise to the gravest apprehension
for the outcome.
'E. G. Janeway,
"Theo Durham"
At that hour the physicians were
making almost constant use Of oxygen
Their demeanor indicated most criti-
cal stage of the disease. Mr. Kipling
was delirious as the above bulletin was
issued. Neither DR.. Janeway or Dun
ham would say word in fact, neither
ventured from the patients side for
more than minute at a time
AT 1920 O'Clock tonight the following
bulletin was issued:
Mr.. Kipling's condition remains tho
same 80 at last report
"E. G. Janeway and Theo Durham"
1t was said at that hour that Mr..
kipling was very low and unconscious.
