Hoover Kept in Touch.
President Hoover had kept in virtually
constant touch with the Walter Reed
Hospital, from the beginning Of Secre-
tary Goods illness. AS soon as he
learned that the latter was suffering
last Tuesday night, he Dispatched ms
own personal physician, Lieut.. Comdr.
Joel T. Boone, to give any assistance
necessary. Secretary of the Interior Will
bur examined Secretary Good and both
he and Dr. Boone attended the consulta-
ton at Walter Reed Hospital the lola
lowing morning, which diagnosed Sec
rotary Goods condition as being appen-
dix trouble.
At no time during his illness did the
attending physicians attempt to min
imize the gravity of Mr.. Goods condl-
ton. President Hoover was advised
from the start that because of the pres
ence of the gangrene and the develop
ment Of peritonitis there was con-
siderable doubt felt for MIR. Goods re-
covery.
He took decided turn for the worse
Sunday night. and DR.. John w. Finney,
specialist Of Johns Hopkins University,
was summoned to the bedside for coma
sultation. 1t was then determined by
the medical men that death was in
evitabie and only matter Of a short
time.
It was following this disheartening
news that President Hoover hurried to
the hospital to visit his sick friend.
He talked with the later only moment
or so. That was then last meeting.
Made Great Fight.
Secretary Wilbur, in describing to the
President Secretary Goods death, the
nature and course of the latter's ILL
ness, said:

for his life At first there was fever.
The most difficult operation was per-
formed with great skill and without I'M
due strain on the patient. There was

but It was evident that an infection was
involved, and since that time there had
been q steady struggle by the patient
against the spread of the poisoning
which had ben constantly present"
Several times during the past two
days President Hoover indicated a wish
again to visit the patient, but he re-
Trained from doing so upon the advice
of attending physicians who thought
that such a visit would be too great
a shock TO the patient.
Out of respect to his friend, PreSi-
dent Hoover met with his cabinet only
briefly today. The atmosphere of cheer
and purposefulneSS which attends the
bi-weekly meetings of the cabinet off,
GERS with the Executive was not EVIL
dent as the group formed shortly before
10 O'Clock this morning. After being
together few moments, the meeting
was adjourned.
While high officials in the War De-
partment and Army officers throughout
the military service mourned the death
of an able, conscientious leader, Presi-
dent Hoover mourned the loss of an
able assistant and warm personal friend
Among the members of the cabinet
Mr.. Good was one of the closest to the
President. At a time when many leaders
in the Republican party were hopeful
that President Coolidge would be a
candidate, MIR. Good declared for Mr
Hoover and was credited with having
