OLD FEUD seen
IN POISON
DEATH

NEW YORK, Dec. % Q.N.S).-
Henry s. Cav, 29year-old chemists
helper, found poisoned yesterday, in
the metallurgical research labora-
tory Of the Guggenheim Brothers
here. may have been the victim of a
feud begun on the floor of the ocean.
Police learned that Cav and
James Baker, %, former laboratory
helper for whom they are searching,
both served on Navy submarine.
The peculiar character of Gaw's
death, which preceded by three
hours the assault and robbery of
two Baltimore truckmen at the
plant, led police to advance several
other theories.
They, believed the theft Of few
dollars from the person of one OF the
truckmen was merely a blind to
cover up the real motive. The
poisoner probably was actuated by
revenge or a desire to gain posses
sion of some secret chemical form
ula, they said.
The victims gums and lips were
blistered from cyanide that evidently
had been forced down his throat
after being mixed in cup OF coffee
standing on a table nearby.
Despite denials by the owners OF
the laboratory that they possessed
any secret and valuable formula,
some of the detectives pointed out
that the truckmen saw the suspect
looting the laboratory files. The
truckmen said that pictures OF
Baker remembled the man they saw.

Wales at Palace
The Prince Of wales called at the
palace twice during the morning.
Princess Mary cancelled proposed
trip to Leeds.
The text OF the bulletin issued at
noon follows:
''The King had fair night with
duieter sleep towards morning.
There is less difficulty with taking
nOurishnent and the general state
improved during the past IL hours.
"At the consultation this morning
the progress OF the past week was
reviewed. During that period there
had been definite Improvement in
local conditions.
"On the other hand, the general
condition. as evidenced by weight
and strength, does not show the
same progress. Measures best
adapted for meeting this difficulty
were considered and determined"
Consulted Three Hours
The bulletin was issued after a
consultation by Sir Stanley Hawett,
Lord Dawson of Penn. Sir Hum

and Sir Il. Farquhar Buzzard.
The uneasiness resulting from
the relapse late Thursday was
lifted somewhat by the announce

much anxiety, mt the public was
considerably heartened by the news
of improvement.

The definite improvement in local
conditions is re arded as lessening
the chance OF a recurrence of general

delegation to call on President
elect Herbert Hoover on his re-
turn here and urge him to adopt
''hands-off'' policy Oh agrl-
cultural legislation in the present
short session, it was learned To-Day.
The proposal is understood to be
: based upon belief that no legisla'

sire to head off a special session

session for both farm relief and
