GOOD WEAKENS
AFTER SLIGHT GAIN
"Marked Fatigue" Noted in
Bulletin Following Earlier
Improvement.

A marked fatigue" in the condition
Of James w. Good, Secretary of War,
was reported last night by his physi-
clans at his bedside as he resisted the
infection that gripped him after an
emergency operation for appendicitis
last Wednesday.
A bulletin made public at the White
House at 10 pm. last night said:
The Secretary of Wars condition
has shown slight Improvement during
the day. All nourishment has been re-
tanned. Respiratory complications have
not increased. Sepsis symptoms have
not progressed. The patient shows
marked fatigue tonight"
The fatigue was regarded by the ply
Sicians as an unhopeful sign, even
though they said sepsis symptoms had
not progressed.
Earlier in the night q slight improve
ment had been noted In the Secretary's
condition when it was reported that his
pulse respiration, temperature and blood
count were better His physicians also
had administered nourishment, which
was retained. This also was regarded
as favorable.
Little Hope for Life.
The slight improvement, physicians
said, might be only temporary and his
close friends retained only small hope
that he could survive much longer. Ply
sicianS, however, said all hope was not
lost, that his condition now depended
upon his own resistance to the general
blood poisoning that attacked him after
the operation.
The 84-hour period which physicians
had set as being the peak of the crisis
in Secretary Goods condition passed at
IL o'clock last night without any an
nouncement being made from his bed
side. Physicians decided not to issue
any more bulletins regarding the Secre-
tary until there was material change
in his condition.
Some slight improvement in Mr..
Goods condition was noted during the
day, according to the bulletins issued
at the White House, but it was left
clear that the result of the vigorous
efforts by physicians would be de-
termined by the patients endurance.
From the bulletin issued at $40
o'clock yesterday morning to the one
at o'clock yesterday afternoon en-
couraging gains by Mr.. Good were an
nounced. The pm. bulletin said:
THE condition of the Secretary of
War is encouraging-that is, it is bet
ter than 1t was this morning His pulse,
respiration, temperature and blood
count are better"
The fact that the blood count was
better was that which gave the most
hope to President Hoover and WASH
ington. 1t showed that the Secretary
is putting up strong fight against
general sepsis (blood poisoning), which
came from peritonitis. discovered
when he was operated on.
Slept in Morning.
The bulletin at 1890 o'clock yester-
day afternoon said:
Secretary Good has been sleeping all
morning. At noon he was awakened
and was given treatment. His case
depends on what his own resistance can
do. There is no evidence of intestinal
obstruction. His temperature, respira-
ton and pulse are lower. The involve
ment of the chest seems to be somewhat
subsidized. His condition apparently Is
one of general sepsis (blood poison
ing)."
President Hoover kept in close touch

NEW RULE IN TAXES
Exempt State and Municipal
Bonds From Gross Income of
Banks Under Assessment.

The District Commissioners will not
include interest on bonds of States ana
municipalities in the gross income of
banks and trust companies for tax pur-
poses in the future, 1t was decided yes
terday.
Recently the Court of Appeals hand
ed down decision in suit brought by
the Riggs Bank which held that the
District may not tax as a part of gross
income interest on United States bonds
held by the bank. The question then
arose whether the bonds OF States ana
municipalities came under the same re-
striction for taxation purposes. Cor
poratlon Counsel William w. Bride
held that the State and municipal
bonds acme under this law, and ac-
cordingly interest on such bonds will
not be taxed in the future.
All banks and trust companies in
the District pay tax of 6 per cent
annually on gross income. Several of
the banks have been paying taxes for
two or three years under protest, due
to the tendency Of the Riggs Bank suit.
Commissioner Sidney F.. Taliaferro said
the amount of such claims which woulC.
be allowed was between $4,000 and
100000.
