mismanagement by some of the officers.

ENGLAND SHOCKED
BY KINGS ILLNESS
People Learn "SIight Cold"
Is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Report Progress.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WINDSOR, England, April Eng
land got something of shock at noon
today, when it learned from the issu-
ance Of an official statement that King
George v who the country believed was
only suffering from a slight cold, actu-
ally was a victim of bronchitis.
The statement said the attack was OF
"subacute" nature and that the pa
tent was progressing satisfactorily,
though slowly.
The statement brought sharply home
to the nation, however, that it is barely
two years since the monarch was hover
ing between life and death from a chest
disorder which originated in cold
caught on Armistice day, 1928. The
Kings health has been a matter of keen
public interest ever since his recovery
the following Spring.
The national dismay that he was
again in need Of doctors care was tenn
pered by the reassuTing statement Of
satisfactory progress. which was accom-
panied by the announcement that the
King was not even confined to his bed.
Lord Dawson Of Penn, the Kings
physician, visited him during the week
end and motored to Windsor again to-
day. Sir Nilsson Rees, laryngologist to
the royal household, has also seen the
King, in addition to DR.. Henry Martin,
who Is in residence at Windsor Castle.
The King has been confined to his
room since Friday, although his indis-
position was not made public until Sum
day.
No further statement of the Kings
condition is expected today, but 1t is
probable there viii be one tomorrow
morning.
There are no guests at the castle ex-
cept immediate members of the family
The Duke Of Gloucester Is there and
Princess Mary is expected tomorrow.

A storm from out Of the South that
visited Washington early today, smart
ing the face of Spring with defiant fur
ries of snow and hail, served only to
postpone for few days longer the anx-
iously awaited poisoning of the cherry
trees in Potomac Park.
No damage was done to the buds by
the snow and colder temperature, it
was said at the Office of Public Build
ings and Grounds, but several days of
warm sunshine are figured as necessary
to bring out the blossoms. At no time
was the official weather record below
the freezing point, the snow being
caused by the lower temperatures In the

Coming up from the South Atlantic
Coast, the storm swept over Northern

STANDARD OIL
MUST EXPLAIN
GAS ACTIVITY

HANFORD, Cal, Sept. 81. U.P)-
Standard Oil company of California
is expected to be called to explain
in superior court here September 28
its gas production from two Kettle
man Hills oil wells.
Superior Judge S. L. Strother of
Fresno last week granted the state
another hearing OF the Kettleman
Hills anti-gas waste case. Judge
Strother, in Fresno, said he had
granted James S. Bennett, attorney
for the state department of natural
resources, the hearing. but that he
did not know the nature of motions
Bennett would make but understood
they would concern changes caused
by closing of two wells.
Oil men believed Bennett would
attack Standard for its production
from Standard No 8 and No. 81,
which have a total production daily
of about 140,000,000 cubic feet of gas
and only about 5000 barrels of oil.
The gas production limit for that
amount of oil under the Strother
gas conservation injunction would
be about 30,000,O00 cubic feet.

RATE REDUCTION
WILL Be TOPIC
CONFERENCE

Announcement as to whether or
not there will be any reduction in
freight rates on cattle shipped from
the drought areas to this county, is
expected in the near future as a re-
suit Of a meeting TO be held in Los
Angeles tomorrow morning.
Dick Kelly in charge of the in
dustrial office of the Southern Pa
cific railway is expected to arrive
in Los Angeles tomorrow, and, ac-
cording to information received by
B. A. Harrigan, agricultural COM
missioner, a conference will be
held with interested parties and
decision as to any reduction will
be made.
Local cattlemen are particularly
interested in this freight reduction
since it means that they can pur-
chase cattle in the drought area
and ship them to this county for
feeding purposes and for eventual
sale. Without the freight reduc-
ton they feel the cost of trans
portation will be prohibitive.
While no definite information
could be obtained as to the identity
OF the valley representative, it was
rumored that Chet Moore would
represent local .AterestS.

SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR

The gain in weight and general
resistance evidence by the children
was very satisfactory, it is report

attention was given to nervous
children. Regular rest periods, di-

youngsters for the coming school

to use its funds for diagnostic
work. Charles Jobes, who has

children between the ages of 6 and
II was the most successful ever
conducted at that place. The camp
closed August 30, and those who
were actively in charge are taking
"a much needed rest.
The report shows that there was
"a total of 86 children registered at
the camp during the eight weeks
period and that the average time
spent there per child was five
weeks. This makes a total of 430
child-Weeks for the camp and on
the basis of child-Week the cost of
the camp was $3.50, including all
expenses. 1t is pointed out that
this actual cost figure justifies the
charge of $500 per month made
fer those children whose parents
could afford to pay.
There were many children there
for whom only part OF that
amount was collected and several
VINO were entirely free. The asso-
citation and the Legion made Up
the difference, the former from

ter from moneys raised by benefits
