was already here. His arrival
yesterday, before the decision on
a regency was reached, added to
the general worry, for it is the
archbishop'S duty to administer
the last rites, as we'll as to attend
the meeting of the privy council.
But as he entered the iron
gates of Sandringham, the pri-
mate told International News
Service that he holds high hopes
for His Majestay's recovery"
In his battle against a weak
ened heart and bronchial catarrh,
members of the household re-
vealed. the King has admittedly
amazed his eminent medical at
tendants.
King Held His Own
A few days ago, it was learned,
physicians told members of the
royal family that the King had
only "a hours to live, but despite
his 10 years and the strain of last
years jubilee and international
difficulties, he had held his own
well, and if he survives the ap-
preaching crisis he may yet re-
turn to his rule.
The King spoke cheerfully when
he talked with the Duke of Kent,
and asked about his recently. born
son.
Servants revealed that for
three days the King has had no
solid food, but had been taking
liquid nourishment at frequent
intervals and in small quantities.
Milk, barley water, arrowroot,
lemon juice, and beef tea are in
cluded.
A fresh supply of oxygen, to
assist him in breathing so that
his heart will not be unduly
strained, arrived by train from
London yesterday.
Weather Improves
The King lies in a red-carpeted
room on the first floor, where an
open fire burns.
The weather has improved since
he caught a chill last Tuesday.
The temperature is higher and a
light rain has melted the snow
that covered the bleak Norfolk
countryside.

Mr.. Dukes was diSbarred by a
full bench of the District Supreme
Court after a hearing that lasted
Is days and was instrumental in
bringing about an important re-
form in court procedure.
He was found guilty by the
court of having conducted himself
in manner which amounted to
professional misconduct. preju-

The attorneys diSbarment was
instituted after he had filed affl-
davits in a liquor conspiracy case
in which he was counsel, accus-
ing one of the justices and the
United States Attorney of allow
ing a false, diluted and deleted'
bill of exceptions to ge to the
higher court when the case was
appealed. The Court of Appeals
found that the accusation was
not true and was unfounded and
the disbarment proceedings fol
flowed.
During the trial, Dukes sum-
moned more than so witnesses

EXPERT HOLDS
DC. SUBWAYS
ARE NEEDED
Philadelphia Engineer
Says Move Is Imme-
date Necessity

Pressing his campaign to have
subways constructed in the Ma
tons Capital, Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts today sub
mitted to Engineer Commissioner
Dan I. Sultan a report prepared by
a Philadelphia consulting engineer
dealing with advisabiiity of SUD
way construction here.
Col. C. E. Myers, formerly d.
rector of the Philadelphia transit
department, who directed construc-
ton of subways in that city, made
the report.
Mr.. Roberts said Colonel Myers.
through mutual friends" became
interested in "the problem In
Washington" Mr.. Roberts ADDED:
"He has had engineers on his
force make preliminary cxamina-
ton and has, as you will note,
reached the conclusion that sub
way construction for use Of
street cars is an immediate
necessity as a bypass for con.
gested traffic conditions in
downtown Washington"
Construction Needed
In the report, Colonel Myers
recommended tentatively that a
subway be conStruSy ed in the line
of E Street Northwest, from Fifth
to Sew zenith, with three
branches, one to Franklin Square,
one to Seventeenth and H Streets
Northwest, and one to Eighteenth
and H Streets Northwest. The
branches are to be used in the
| future in expanding the subway
system.
The report recommends that
future Subways should be focused
from the central business district
to the District Line, and should
have branches to the District
boundaries running to Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Southeast, Grant
Street Northeast, Rhode Island
Avenue Northeast, Thir tenth
Street Northwest and Wisconsin
Avenue Northwest.
Not Estimated
The report gave no estimates Of
the cost of subways, but expressed
the opinion that the $4,000,
which is proposed for a study Of
costs and deSirabilities of subway
and other mass transportation
problems is insufficient.
Opposition to Subways in the
Nations Capital cropped up Satur.
day night at the meeting of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions. James G. Yaden, former
federation president, described the
proposal to obtain funds for q
study of subway construction as q
scheme to waste $25,000."

Rev. Peacock
Helped by
iii King

LONDON, Jan. 20 GNSO-The
last official act of King George
before his illness was approval of
appointment of the Rev. Harold
Dobson Peacock, formerly rector
of Christ Church, Norfolk, Va, to
the vicarage of Saint Barnabas, in
DerbyShire.
The name of the Rev. H. Dob
son Peacock of Norfolk, Va, fig
ured prominently in the news
when John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk
shipbuilder, attracted nationwide
publicity by saying he believed he
could contact the kidnapers of
the Lindbergh baby. This proved
to be a hoax. The Rev. Peacock
at that time cooperated with Cur
tbs, believing Curtis was on the
right track.

his interest in the Hauptmann
case.
Whenever any members of the
governors family leave the house
they are trailed by a plainclothes
officer.
When and if the State police
get Hoffman's order they will be
placed in a most paradoXical po-
Sition. They are under the direct
command of the governor and
must obey him. Yet they are con-
WINGED that Bruno Richard
Hauptmann alone is guilty of the
crime they helped solve, after
two and one-half years.
Meantime. it was learned the
governor has instructed members
of his party not to oppose any
move to impeach him or to in
quire into his intervention in the
Hauptmann case when the legis-
lature conveneS tonight.
The governor would welcome an
inquiry into the spectacular part
he has played in the case, climaxed
last week by his reprieve which
saved Hauptmann from walking
to the electric chair, the writer's
informant said.

State Department
Yields to Britain


The State Departments action
in recalling from the Senate Mu-
nitions Committee all copies of
the Balfour memorandum, reveal
ing the secret "SpoilS" treaties of
the Allies in the World War, was
done at the beheSt of Great Brit
ain, international News Service
learned today.
The British Cover nm IN t ,
through Ambassador Sir Ronald
Lindsay, notified this Government
that it objected to publication Of
that document on the grounds
that its disclosure might impair
Britain's relations with some Of
the countries mentioned in the
document.
Britain took the position that
agreements we're drawn up at a
time when the Allies were at war,
and that the revival of discussions
concerning secret agreements
made then might impair friendly
relations which Britain has since
established with some of the pow
erS mentioned.
Sir Ronald's representations
were understood to have been
made informally to Assistant Sec
rotary of State R. Walton Moore.
The British envoy called at the
State Department the end of last
week and it was on this visit that
he is believed to have requested
the State Department to prevent
publication Of the documents by
the Nye committee.
