KINGS ILLNESS
MORE SERIOUS
King George Passes Restless
Night; Temperature Re-
mains at 1O1

London, Nov. 90 (A1 - King
Georges illness assumed a some
what more serious aspect today with
the further development of conges-
ton in one lung.
A bulletin issued at Buckingham
palace at midday said:
1.-The king passed restless night,
his temperature remaining at 1Ol.
There is a slight extension of the
mischief in his lung, but his maj
csty's strength is maintained"
The bulletin was signed by the
kings physicians, Sir Stanley Hew-
EFT ard Lord Dawson of Penn.
While there was reinsurance in
the bulletin that his majesty was
maintaining his strength, public
anxiety over the illness of the king
was not allayed. 1t was recalled
that King Edwards fatal illness
started with congestion in the
lung, and therefore it was inevitable
that anxiety over the kings con-
dition would be accumulated by this
fact.
The kings medical advisers, who

this morning. planned to return to
the palace late this evening, when it
was expected that further bulletin
would be issued. Unless unforeseen
circumstances should develop, moth
ing further was likely to be an
nounced before then.
Premier Baldwin left Glasgow this
morning for London, and under the
present arrangements will spend the
weekend at Chequers, but will be
accessible should there be any neces-
sity for his presence in connection
with the kings illness.
1t was learned that members Of
the household at Buckingham palace
are not unduly alarmed or anxious
about the kings illness. His maj
esty was said to be quite cheerful,
and members of his immediate suite
also were cheerful.
The ordinary routine Of the palace
was slightly disarranged by the
Kings confinement to his bedroom,
but as far as possible everything
was being carried on as usual.

Shoals Nitrate Plant
Beehive Without Bees

pcnsive machinery, great electric
furnaces that burn carbon cleo
trodes as big as tree trunks, pow
crful air compressors and lofty clc-
vators and towers. All are still,
silent, deserted.
Meanwhile, the Muscle Shoals area
waits for the great day that it con-
fidently believes will come-though
it does not know when. The real
estate men, with their subdivisions,
have been on the ground for years.
Paved streets, with fancy street
signs already erected, run through
the nearby cotton fields, dotted with
little stakes that mark off the lots.
Visions Of great city fan their
hopes. Local residents admit that
the realty market is now inactive,
but say it is by no means near a
collapse. =. the feeling of cer-
tainty that Muscle Shoals plants
will be operated some day, employ
ing thousands Of workers, sustains
them. iA
Politics Is Blamed
If you ask the average man on
the streets of Florence. Sheffield or
Tuscumbia why the great nitrate
plants have stood idle for 10 years
and why 81 per cent Of Wilson dams
available power is permitted to go
to waste, he will answer like this:
Politics. that's all. The Muscle
Shoals plants and Wilson dam were
built by Democratic administration
and the Republicans don't want it
developed. They want the power
trust to get Wilson dam and the fer
tilizer trust to get the nitrate plants.
That's why Congress is holding off,"
Regardless of the accuracy Of this
explanation, a visitor hears it on
every hand in and around Muscle
Shoals. The hotel clerks, the drug
gists, the restaurant men, the bus
drivers, the merchants, the local
newspaper editors insist that such
is the reason.
At any rate. a golden torrent now
flows to waste every day at Wilson
dam and for 10 years a mighty
plant that is ready to provide jobs
for thousands Of men has been a
vast industrial graveyard.

Patterson Makes Charges
Walla's indictment grows from
charges ma by Edward G.. Patter.
son. proprietor of the Patterson no.
tel, that Walla, his bookkecper, had
stolen $8,30S.52 from the hotel. War
rants for his arrest were issued by
+. f. McCurdy, states attorney, Oct
20. Walla could not be found by
Sheriff Rollin Wclch, who sought to
arrest him, after the warrants were
issued. He was later arrested in
Wyoming and was brought to Bis
marck, where he has been lodged in
the county Jail since.
1t is alleged that Walla's pecula-
tons started in 1925 and covered a
period Of two years. Discovery of
the shortage of the funds was made
following an audit of the books by
.. B. Lund. The method used, ac-
cording to the report given by Lund,
was forgery Of the signature Of II.
$. Lobach. receiving teller of the
First National Bank.
Checking up with the First Ma
tional bank, it was found that on
many days over Il period Of two
years no deposits were made at the
First National Bank. but that Mr..
Walla, it is charged, forged the
name Of Mr.. Lobach to the deposit
slips which he attached to his daily
reports to Mr.. Patterson.
A greater portion of the loss to
the Patterson hotel was covered by
surety bonds, it is said. Walla was
employed at the hotel since 1923.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-(AP)-Three

1t was Corporation Counsel Sam

should be.
The death Of Edwin McCarty,
court reporter, before he had tran
scribed his notes on the coroner's
inquest, brought another delay to
the movement to have Potter re-
leased on bonds, and he has been
held in the county Jail since.
Testimony offered at the coroner's
inquest tended to show that Potter
fired the shot which killed Webb in
front Of the Potter residence at 623
Eighth street. Webb and Mrs. Pot
ter are said to have arrived at the
residence in an automobile just be-
fore the shooting.
Domestic's Testimony Damaging
Linda Clausnitzer, Is, domestic at
the Charles igler residence at Ave-
nue. B and Eighth street, testified
rat she heard Potter curse Webb
and Mrs. Potter as they alighted
from the car, and that she heard the
shot fired. She said that Mr.. and
Mrs. Potter then went into the
house, leaving Webb on the pave
ment pleading for aid. Webb cried,
MARY, I'm shot! I'm dying! Take
me to hospital!" according to the
domestic.
A few minutes later, Webb was
taken to a hospital by Mrs. Potter
and her son, Henry, according to the
testimony offered at the inquest.
Testimony at the coroner's inquest
also showed that young Webb, short
~ before his death, told policeman
and an attending physician that the
shooting had been an accident and
that Mrs. Potter made q statement
