FOCH IS STRICKEN
BY HEART DISEASE
Three Physicians Called to
Combat Attack of Illness
of Allies War Chief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 14.--Marshal Ferdi-
nand Foch, generalissimo of the allied
armies in the World War, was taken
seriously i'll today with heart trouble.
The marshal caught a very bad cold
at the Armistice day celebration. 1t
settled into bronchitis and interfered
with his breathing.
Apparently he had recovered fully
from that affection, but the strain of
the illness told on him and he suffered
a severe heart attack.
Three doctors were called into con-
sultation today. It was said that a
bulletin would be issued late this after
noon.
A communique issued by his physicians
late today said:
"The marshal is suffering from a
heart attack, necessitating complete
rest"
Marshal Foch, who Is II years old
has not been in the best of health in
recent months.
The marshal, who played so promi-
nent a part in the great battle of the
Marne during the early days of the
World War; has been living in retire
ment for some time, only occasionally
appearing in the news.
During the convention Of the Ameri-
can Legion in 1927 he made his appear
ance on the second day and was cheered
Wildly by the Legionnaires.

SOCIETY DISSOLVED
Memorial Abandoned, Foun-
dation Directors Act to Stop
Fund Collections.

Dissolution of the Susan B. Anthony
Foundation, Inc, was announced today
by Mrs. Mary Allen Adams, the presi-
dent, who issued a statement declar-
ing "that after Is years work collect
ing funds for a proposed memorial
there was no money in the treasury
and nothing but outstanding debts"
The dispute over the means OF col
lecting funds long has been bone
of contention in the foundation.
Shortly after the election of Mrs.
Adams as president she was authorized
by the board of directors to instigate
an investigation. An application to
the Virginia State Corporation Com
mission for dissolution of the corpora
ton and the serving of notice that
no one now Is authorized to collect
money for the memorial followed.
Mrs. Adams statement follows, In
part:
when I took the chair 1t was spe-
officially brought out that after is years
work collecting efunds for proposed
memorial to Susan B. Anthony there
was no money In the treasury and
nothing but outstanding debts.

thony Foundation, Inc, namely, Mrs.
Mary Allen Adams, Mrs. Jessie F. Deal.

the only way to stop the further collec-
ton of funds for that purpose was to
dissolve the corporation, which has been
done.
therefore, all persons are notified
that there Is no person legally author
lied to collect money for memorial to
Susan B. Anthony and that the Susan

dissolved In accordance with the law,

Going Beyond Limit and
Sewage Practices.
CONTROVERSY REFERRED
TO CHARLES E. HUGHES
Directed by Supreme Tribunal to
Draft Decree on Reduction in
Volume of Withdrawals.

By the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court held today that
the diversion of water from Lake Michi-
gan by the city of Chicago had been
lawfully authorized by the Secretary OF
War.
At the same time it adversely criti-
cized the Chicago sanitary district for
having brought about conditions which
had lowered lake levels inches, and
announced that 1t would enter decree
which would require Chicago to reduce
the volume of diversion, explaining that
the Lake States were entitled to have
the old lake levels restored as rapidly
as possible to aid navigation.
In rendering the opinion, the court
decided a controversy which has been
in the courts almost continuously since
the current of the Chicago River was
reversed in 1900.
Attitude Condemned.
In condemning Chicago for its atti-
tude, Chief Justice Taft said the court
would again refer the controversy 10

COLDS KEEP PRINCE
AND QUEEN IN ROOMS
Royal Sick List Is Swelled, but
With King Showing
Gains.
Rx the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 14.-Another pa
tient was added to the list at Bucking-
ham Palace this afternoon when it was
announced that Prince George, youngest
son of the King, had slight cold, and
was keeping to his room.
Queen Mary's cold continued to con-
fine her to her rooms today, while King
George was believed to be no longer in
any real danger.
Precautions were being taken, with
the Queens cold because OF the cold,
sunless weather which has prevailed in
London for the last IL days.
The Queen has been under heavy
strain because Of her husbands illness
and a throat specialist was called. 1t
was stated that she would be confined
to her rooms for several days.
Satisfaction was expressed at Buck
ingham Palace that nothing had hap
pened to retard the slow progress being
made by the King, who entered the
fifty-fith day of his illness today. Since
there was no downward tendency in
the Kings condition, medical bulletins
were omitted on Sunday, although his
physicians paid their usual morning and
evening visits.
The customary Sunday morning serv-
ices in the palace chapel were can
celed because of the Queens Illness.

Subcommittee Would Give
Utilities Body Power to Pass
on Fees for Services.
CONDITIONS DEFINED
UNDER POWER CLAUSE
Capitalization Could Not Be Used
to Determine Physical
Structure.

Three additional changes which the
Senate subcommittee made in rewrit-
ing the street railway merger plan be-
came known today. They are:
A provision giving the Public Util-
tiles Commission authority to pass upon
any fees which a holding company
might levy on the merged street rail-
way system for services rendered.
clause stipuating that the capi-
tallzation structure under which the
merger would be brought about could
not oe regarded as evidence in deter
mining the physical valuation of the
property 1or rate-making purposes.
"A new power clause, defining the
conditions under which the electric
current needed by the merged rail-
way system would be obtained from
the Potomac Electric Power Co. It Is
understood that the new clause pro-
VideS that the amount of power now
used by the Washington Railway g.
Electric lines would be obtained on
virtually the same basis it receives its
current from the power company at
the present time, and that this ar
rangement would continue for is
years. The balance of the current
needed for the Capital Traction portion
OF the system would be furnished on
a basis to be fixed by the utilities COM
mission.
The amendments relating to hold
ing companies would give the commis-
sion ample authority to determine the
reasonablenesS of any service charges
which holding company might assess
against the street railway system.
Zihlman Promises Prompt Action.
As soon as the Senate District COM
mlttee has taken action upon the street
railway merger bill Chairman Zihlman
OF the House District committee intends
to give that legislation prompt atten-
ton. He has been promised time on
the moor o. the House for consideration
of the measure as amended in the
Senate.
Mr.. Zihlman said today he has not
decided yet on the course of procedure.
whether to bring the amendments up
on the noor or to consider the matter
first in the District committee.
Early Report Is Expected.
The subcommittee Is expected to re-
port It's amended merger plan to the
fun committee within day or two, and
II the entire committee approves it will
ne reported to the Senate at an early
date.
Outstanding features Of the new
plan. as previously announced, are
elimination Of all reference of fixed
valuation, provision FOR new valua-
ton, to be completed in two years, and
a guarantee against any change In rate
of fare during the two years the re-
valuation is being made.
This modified merger plan will have
to be ratified by stockholders of the
companies after 1t has been enacted
by Congress, because 1t differs material
ly from the agreement as presented to
Congress by the companies.

HOOVER THOROUGH
| IN CABINET STUDY
Scores Suggested for Posts,
but President-EIect Is
Silent on Names.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President-elect Herbert Hoover is
working out the problem of the person.
mel of his cabinet in the same thorough
manner in which he tackles all jobs
that come to him.
During the last week. the President
elect obtained the fullest information
regarding the legislative situation, with
the result it now appears inevitable that
a special session for farm legislation
and tariff revision will be held this
Spring. With this problem practically
settled, Mr.. Hoover found himself in
position at the beginning of his Sec
ond week in Washington since his elec-
ton to drive ahead with the considera-
ton of the makeup of his cabinet.
Scores of men have been suggested to
the President-elect for cabinet positions.
No announcement whatever has been
made of any decision by Mr.. Hoover in
regard to any of these offices. Nor is
one likely until shortly before the time
of his Inauguration. Mr.. Hoover, how
ever, may be expected to pick cabinet
which VII, be capable of team work and
of working with him. 1t is not expected
he will pick men to head the executive
departments who have had no expert
ence in dealing with the public on pub
lie matters. His cabinet, 1t Is believed,
will be made up of men not only who
have had such contacts and are familiar
with public business, but also of men
who are well known.
While the cabinet selections are still
largely in the realm of speculation,
three men stand out as likely to be
found in the list when 1t is made pub
lie. They are: Secretary Andrew w.
Mellon of the Treasury Department. to
succeed himself; William j. Donovan,
assistant to the Attorney General. to be
Attorney General, and Henry Robin
son of Los Angeles. Just what position
Mr.. Robinson may be invited to NIL Is
not known. There is the possibility, 1t
is said, that Mr.. Robinson, for personal
and business reasons, may not be able
to accept appointment.
Mr.. Robinson has seen service in
Washington before. He is close friend
of Mr.. Hoover. During the Wilson ad-
ministration, although Mr.. Robinson Is
a Republican, he was picked for import
ant posts in the Government. AT one
time he served as member OF the
Shipping Board. He is lawyer and
banker
There have been reports of opposition
to the appointments of both Secretary
Mellon and Col. Donovan. But there
seems no doubt that their confirmation
for cabinet positions would follow their
appointment. Mr.. Mellon has the op-
position of several Senators from the
west. There have been demands on the
part of some of the drys in the past

As the coldest weather of the season
descended on the city and continued
in severity today, with no prospects
for relief for at least another day, the
District began preparation for a touch
Of real Winter.
The wintry blasts sweeping the city
today kept pedestrians shivering and
autoists busy with frozen radiators, the
American Automobile Association re-
porting numerous calls for assistance.
The temperature at $40 o'clock this
morning was 8 degrees.
At 1880 O'Clock this morning the
temperature was at 16 degrees, with
an announcement from the Weather
Bureau that snow was due tomorrow

The temperature read 43 degrees at
noon yesterday and by 10 o'clock last
night had dropped to IS degrees above
zero. =
Ice skating on the Lincoln Memorial
Pool will not be allowed for few
days. at least, the Park Police an
nounced today. A one-half-inch depth
of ice Is reported on the pool and
police viii not allow skating until 1t has
increased to 3 inches.
The first man to suffer from the cold
here was William Oats, colored, IS
years old, who was found on the street
by police of the ninth precinct and
taken to Gallinger Hospital for treat
ment. His condition Is not serious.
Trolley Lines Tied UP.
Trolley lines between Fiftieth street
and Ffity-fourth street northeast were
broken down and the cars running to
the District line were tied up for nearly
an hour. Tiny bonfires were built all
along the line as persons made an ef-
fort to keep warm while awaiting the
next car When the car finally arrived
at the District line, nearly 100 persons
were packed within. Due to crowded
conditions, many were left waiting at
the stops.
Harvey v. Prentice, superintendent
of the Gospel Mission, said that many
sufferers from the cold came to the
mission last night, where they were
served with hot soup.
Nearly so men took refuge from the
cold at the municipal lodging house,
3l2 Twelfth street, last night. Supt. L..
v. Schermerhorn announced this morn
ing. They were served with hot stew
and given warm beds.

BILL ALLOWS CHANGES
IN PARKING BOUNDARIES
Measure Offered in Senate by Smoot
Affects Rock Creek-Potomac
Park Project.

Slight changes in the boundaries of
the proposed connecting parkway be-
tween Rock Creek and Potomac Parks
would be authorized by a bill intro
duced in the Senate this afternoon by
Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah,
and referred to the public buildings
and grounds committee.
The bill would empower the director
of public buildings and parks to make
small additions where desirable and to
exclude from the taking lines of the
proposed connecting parkway other
small areas which may be deemed no
longer necessary in completing the
project. The bill provides that these
changes shall not increase the net cost
of the parkway, and that any funds
derived from disposition of parcels ex-
cluded shall be deposited to the credit
of the appropriation for the Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway.
