QUIET NIGHT SPENT
BY STRICKEN KING
Is Anxious, However,
Despite Assurances Given
by Georges Physicians.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. June lit was understood
from authoritative quarters early today
that King George passed a good night
and his condition remained satisfactory.
His three doctorS--Lord Dawson Of
Penn, Sir Stanley Hewett and Henry l..
Martyn-visited the castle for a further
consultation.
Lord Dawson and Sir Stanley mo-
tored from London to minister to the
King. The usual routine was being
continued today at the castle, and the
customary ceremony of changing the
guard, sometimes rather noisy, was car
ried out in the quadrangle.
A bulletin issued by his physicians at
Windsor said:
His majesty the King passed a good
night. The abscess so far is following
its normal course, which, in the nature
OF things, must be tedious.
I'VE accordingly advise that the
Thanksgiving service should be deferred
to a later date. AS his majesty's gen.
eral condition is now satisfactory, there
is no necessity to issue bulletins every
day.
(Signed)
HENRY MARTIN,
SIR STANLEY HEWITT,
DAWSON OF PENN"
The Thanksgiving ceremony had been
set for June Is at Westminster Abbey
to. allow the country to give thanks for
the Kings recovery from his illness last
Winter.
Medical disclaimers that King George
is not so seriously Ill that he cannot
attend business of state failed today
to quiet anxiety in his behalf. 1t was
felt generally his illness of last Win
ter had left him in a greatly weakened
condition which would initiate against
recovery in any new illness.
1t has been disclosed that delay in
announcing his majesty's NV trouble
was occasioned by his own wish thai
1t not be allowed to disturb normal
polling activities for the general cleo
tons. The sovereign was confined tC
his room since Sunday with an abscess
at the old lung incision scar, but there
was no public announcement of his
indisposition until the morning OF the
election.

FURNACE NEEDS
NO CELLAR
Times starr Photo

A new development in gas
fired furnaces has been released
which win solve the heating prob
lem of the home noto having eel
lar space for an adequate heat
ing plant. This unit is compact
and may be termed miniature
pipeleSS furnace. It j. installed
In the floor above the grade and
requires practically no excava-
ton.
A very good feature Of this
miniature is, that though it is
sufficient to completely heat q
small home and Is q very capable
auxiliary to q larger central heat
ing plant, it in no way depletes
the air of oxygen.
Cold air settling to the floor is
drawn into this furnace through
the cold air register. as the warm
air escapes upward, and passes
down the outside wall, up and
down the hot walls of the rad
iator, is warmed and tempered
to the right degree before re-
entering the room and performs
all these operations without the
air coming into contact with the
gas flame at any time.

BOARD SHUTS DOOR
 0N TALK COMPLAINT
Considers Matter Closed Unless
 Alderman Attends Meeting

The letter written by Alderman Walter R. Falk, and published in the Herald last Friday read at 8 meeting of the board of public works last night, caused no little commotion. This is the first direct communication received by the board and in view of the fact that the alderman refused to attend the meeting of the board last week, members voted to write to him stat ing that inasmuch he did not show proper interest in the accusations he had made, the board would con- slider the matter closed until such time as he saw fit to attend one of the meetings.
 City Engineer Phillip A. Merriam stated that he would gladly explain all matters that were spoken of in the letter to alleged extravaganza and concerning hauling of sand and dirt for longer distances than neces- sary, as stated in the letter. He add ed that the statement made by the alderman that the board of public works did not show the proper CO., operation with the public, was not true.
 Mir. Merriam said that on several occasions Alderman Falk had been in the office and had received in formation requested to the best of the ability of those in the office at the time.
 Members of the board voted that the matter be closed as far as they were concerned unless the alderman came before the meeting and made the accusations before the board which was the proper place for such matters. Chairman George Dobson stated yesterday that Aid. Talks criticism would be ignored.
 Upon the suggestion of the city engineer, it was voted to hire a truck from the Gilbert Tree Co. to carry On the survey of the sewer system in an effort to discover where storm water is sweeping into sanitary sewers. The truck will be filled with a mixture of brick dust and water which will be pumped into the stormwater leads of each house with a hose saving much time and expense over the method of carrying it to the house by pail fuls
 An extensive program has been mapped out by the board whereby the leakage from each street and house will be kept in tabulated form. It is estimated that s500O will be spent in the survey.
