 Arrested En Route to H CT Funeral

Bonn, Germany, Nov. fl (P)- The grim, tragic, comic note that enveloped the last days Of Princess Victoria .Schaumburg- -Lippe, sister
 of the former Kaiser, was again sounded today with the arrest of
 Alexander Subkoff, her youthful husband whose escapades had caused his exile from Germany.
 The young Russian dancer and ad- venturer who married the Princess, 34 years his senior, two years ago,
 was picked up by the Bonn police
 en route from Treves to Frankfort in an attempt to attend his wife's funeral. Only ten days ago a divorce suit the princess had
 brought against him was filed.
 Sublioff was arrested for violat- ing an order forbidding him en- trance into-Prussia. He also was held on swindle charges brought by many creditors here from whom he was alleged to have obtained money under false pretenses by means of the unauthorized use of his wife's name.
 Advices from Frankfort on- Main said the forrAcr Kaiser would be represented at his sisters funeral Saturday in the Cronberg Castle chapel by Prince Adelbert of Prus-

ALLEN ST. CROSSING
 MAY BE ABANDONED
Railroad Offers to Close Highway Over Its
 Tracks

To lessen railroad grade crossing dangers in this city, the New Haven road has offered to close the cros3- over at the foot of1Allen street, and to install a modern type banjo alarm at the point where East street passes the tracks to interscCt with Clayton road.
 This proposal has been made 10 Mayor Paonessa, who will present it to the common council next week, suggesting that it be referred to the committee on railroads for action.
 There have been no recent WrCcks 2t this crossing but railroad authori- ties and city officials are Cognizant Of the everpresent possibilities. If the crossing is closed, persons driv- ing on Allen street and intending 10 go to East street. will be required to proceed northerly and then turn at a right angle to enter East street.
 Mayor Paonessa has been assure that this improvement is not a sub stitute for the overhead highway by which it is proposed ultimately to eliminate all grade crossings at thts point, but that it is a safety measure 10 be employed in the period which will elapse before that improvement is effected.

ia. A wreath Of white roses from him will be given the place of hon. or among the floral tributes.
 Numerous telegrams of sympathy have been received from the Ger man foreign aristocracy. The funeral ceremony will be simple and will be attended only by relatives.
 Subkoff left LuXemburg last week to visit near Bonn. where, when representatives of the princess found him they served him with divorce papers in her behalf. It was imme- diately after this that the princess. who is a sister of the former kaiser and a grandchild. of the British Queen Victoria, contracted her fatal illness.
 Subffoff is 29 years old. and while he has persisted he is the son of certain impoverished Russian mo- biity there have been other stories he was born a cobbler's son, and has worked since at such jobs as waiter and "gigolo' in a Paris dance hall.
 He and his princess wife were not long happy together.
 His affairs with other women and various escapadcs brought him mo- toriety and his extravaganza bank rupted her, who finally was forced ito sell precious family heirlooms at auction to pay some of his debts.

School Board Seeks This Sum to Complete H. s.
 Addition
nal Listings Once Again.

Echoes of the. controversy which was carried on for several months between Mayor A. M Paoncssa and the school board will be heard at the board Of finance and taxation meeting tomorrow night when the school committee will ask for an appropriation of SJ0.O00 to cover added expense occasioned by the delay in the senior high school ad- dition.
 School Supt. Stanley H. Holmes, COmmittemen Louis W. Young and Joseph NJ. Halloran will be among the school board representatives at the meeting. Chairman P. r. King who at one time engaged in a news paper controversy with Mayor Pao- nessa about the matter will be ab- sent from the city.
 The greater part of the delay was occasioned by the fact that the board Of finance and taxation was not meeting to hear the school board s plan. 1t is said. Although it was be- lievcd that Mayor Paonessa wished 10 have this held up while two of his committees were Investigating the need, it was learned that he never asked Chairman Edward F. Hall not to call the meeting. One member of the mayors committees favored the construction of the building while another thought there was greater need in the ele- nlentary and junior high school sys tems.
 Bids had been accepted but when the time came when the con- slruction could go ahead the gen. cral contractor refused to do the work at his original bid and when he second bids were opened the lowest bidder was many thousands Of dollars higher than the previous bid. The contract was given to the Hayes Construction Co. of this city. The work of reconstructing the north wing of the school and Of building the addition will have been under way one year next month.

Next 40 Hours Will Tell Story in Secretary's Case
TEMPERATURE IS HIGHER

Washington. Nov. II CP}- Secre- tary of War Good, dangerously ill at Walter Reed hospital, was thought today by his physicians 10 have en- tered the critical period and the next 4S hour period was expected 10 determine whether he would survive from inc acute attack of appendicitis for which he under went an operation.
 Aymy surgeons attending the war secretary noted with some appre- hension that his temperature had risen slightly this morning.
 This, however. was not consider ed particularly alarming. as it was said the patients temperature might rise as natural defensive measure on the part of the body as a reaction from the operation.
 Has "Fair' Night
 Mr. Good had fair night and his condition was stated at 10 o'clock this morning to be as satis- factory as could be expected under the circumstances.
 The critical nature Of the secre tary's condition was not minimized by his surgeons and constant con- tact was kept by the White House with his bedroom so that President Hoover could be kept informed.
 No one was permitted in MT. Goods room. Mrs. Good spent the night at the hospital in an adioin- ing apartment.
 Anxiety Still Felt
 Many hours must pass, however, it was said at Walter Reed hospital, before the crisis is passed and the cabinet officer can show a definite trend for the better.
 An emergency operation for gan grenous appendicitis was performed yesterday morning. Com plications, a perforating appendix located well below the usual position of that organ, were discovered. Secretary Good was under the ether for nearly an hour. His condition was de- scribed as very serious.

 Mellon coupled this statement with an expression that he had the ut- most confidence in the continued prosperity in the country and that before the tax reduction was decid- cd upon all clements entering into government income had been con- sidered thoroughly.

 The measure must be introduced first in the house. where. under the constitution, all revenue legislation must originate. The treasury pro- posal would provide for a flat one per cent cut in the normal individ- ual and corporation tax rate.
