 BE GAINING GROUND
Wife of Noted Soldier Leaves House for First
 Time Today

Paris. Jan. 19 R-Marshal Ferdi- hand Foch gained further ground today in his fight against attacks up- on both his heart and kidneys.
 The marshal has not yet reached the first objective of his doctors which is to get him out of danger and definitely on the road to recov- cry. He was. however. making steady progress toward that goal.
 The morale of Foch was de- scribed by his physicians this morn- ing as marvellous. They said they hoped by tomorrow to permit him to read newspapers again. Their bulletin said:
 "The perceptible improvement noted yesterday persists today"
 For the first time since her dis tinguished husband became i'll, Madame Foch came out of the house for a few minutes this morn- ing. She said the marshal had en- joyed a refreshing sleep during the night and was getting on better" at breakfast time. Her remarks were made before the doctors came for their morning consultation, 50 it was evident that to laymen Foch had made some improvement.
 General Weygand. who is regard ed almost as son by Marshal and Madame Foch, was at the house . little after a. m. He remained. as has been his custom. until the doc-

 Interest

State Capitol. Hartford, Jan. 19.- P-Wheels Of the states legislative machinery began to turn in earnest on Thursday when the general as- sembly had it's second session and members received their committee assignments. Business offered was of small volume as is usually the way the rush coming later-and it in- cluded half a dozen bills in line with recommendation of the judicial council for changes in procedure and place in the courts.
 The councils report has been is- sued in pamphlet for distribution to members and the legal profession and is public document number 79 in a green cover, the prevailing color choice for all pamphlets this ses- sion. In the report are drafts Of bills for changes in laws covered by the councils inquiry. and the bills ad- here to the text of those suggestions Popular interest is expected to be in the bill which proposes taking out of the criminal code the trial of cases of minor infractions of motor ve- hicle laws. The change would be in- tended to take the stigma of . criminal action away from the penalizing Of a motorist who had made slip in his conduct of a motor vehicle. Consideration of this bill. it is already pointed out by legislators. may bring up again the matter Of establishing traffic courts and relieving town justices and city and police courts from handling this type of complaint.
 Thomas Hewes of Pennington. who made a study of practice in the English courts in a report to the council mentioned that 'the method of swearing a witness was much more dignified than ourA"

LAWRENCEVILLE DORM
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Boys Form Human Chain in Getting Out to
 Safety

Lawrenceville. N. J.. Jan. 19 R-- Dawes House the largest dormitory at Lawrenceville school. was de- stroyed 3:30 o'clock this morning by a spectacular fire that sent students fleeing for their lives. The loss ex- ceeded $75.O00.
 The dormitory, rambling frame structure. donated to the famous preparatory school by Vice Presi- dent Dawes. housed 43 students. three masters and three servants.
 Boys sleeping in the second story dormitories were reused just in time to escape. Among them was Dana Dawes, a son of the vice presi- dent.
 Sylvan schlopp, whose address is the New York Atlantic club. oc- cupying quarters on the first floor. prevented the disaster from becom- ing tragedy.
 Schlopp awakened by the roar of flames. ran about the build ing an alarm. His cries reached boys on the second floor.
 Already the flames were menac- ingly close when the boys on the second floor were awakened. The stairways were spouting flames. The windows offered the only way of es- cape. with a long jump to ground.
 Some of the boys formed human chains by holding onto each others hands and feet. and many escaped by climbing down the backs of their companions. Others leaped to the ground.
 Barefoot and clad only in pajamas. the boys left behind all their cloth ing and valuables. A few snatched up overcoats before they leaped.
 Everett Noble. assistant master of Dawes House. who recently returned from a hazardous adventure in Flor. ida directed the escape from the blazing house.
 He led some of the boys down a fire escape. Noble only two weeks ago narrowly escaped death when a fishing yacht was tossed against a rock off the coast of Miami, Florida. Noble and three companions swan through heavy seas to a lighthouse. where they were marooned for 27 hours before they were rescude by Coast guards

HOOVER IS TRYING NOVEL EXPERIMENT
Nation Watching Result Of NeV
 York State Control
HARMONY IS EXPECTED
Placing of C. o. P. A6airx In Hands of Three Men Thought to PreAage Action of Similar Nature In Other States.

Washington. Jan. 19 R-Political Washington and the nation as 8 whole sat back today to observe the working out of the rather novel ex- pertinent President-elect Hoover Is undertaking in New York state by placing direction of affairs of the re- publican party there in the hands of three men.
 Prcsages Action
 Most political observers seemed agreed that it presages action along similar lines in other states where friction has developed and in some of the southern states where strength ening of the organizations of his party Is especially desired by the president elect.
 Friends and associates of MT. Hoover confidently asserted that greater harmony among individual leaders in New York would result from the naming of H. Edmond Machold. state chairman: Charlea D. Hilles. national committeeman and former Representative William H. Hill as . sort of triumvirate ir control of party machinery and es' pecially of federal patronage. Others were equally as confident in their belief that the experiment would prove unsuccessful if for nt other reason than that the recent, elected state chairman was giveI place in the triumvirate which or the face of things appeared to be su. perior to that accorded the veteran national committeeman.
 Hilles Important Mir. Hilles long has been q com. manding figure in New York repub. lican affairs and has many wealthy and influential friends over that state. For this reason some con. versant with Empire State politics predicted that he could not be pu, aside easily unless he himself con- sented to the sharing of the power he so long has yielded.
 While ostensibly the creation ol the committee was in the interest oi harmony, the practically minded among the politicians here professed (Continued on Page 16.)

 London. Jan. lS R,-Hope that the courts would find that General Bramwell Booth has no legal grounds to prevent his being busted from command of the Salvation Army was held today in army re- form circles.
 Nothing to Fear
 Lawyers of the army were under stood to have assured the reform party in the high council that they had nothing to fear from the sur- prise injunction sprung by the gen. eral as the council met to choose his successor. They were confident the chancery court would set aside the injunction when the case is called on Monday and that the council will be left free to proceed with the elec- tion of . new general on Tuesday.
 Salvation Army circles were grief stricken over the death of Commis- sioner Haines. vice president of the council. feeling that 1t was directly caused by word of the injunction. He had just finished a speech on the oppression of the present system of the army during which he had been frequently annoyed by inter- ruptions from Catherine and Mary Booth. daughters of the general.
 Drops Dead
 "How did he do it," he said when told of the injunction. He shudder- ed and dropped dead.
 A spokesman for the American delegation said General Booth had lost three of his eight supporters by his legal action. Commissioners Cum ningham, Laurie and Smith, on hearing of the court action, dis. avowed any responsibility for it
