ENGLISH KING BETTER; STILL IS IN DANGER Temperature Drops and Pleurisy Improves, Physicians Report. NATION IS CHEERED Warn Against Too Great Optimism: Relapse Is Possible. By United, Press LONDON, Nov. 30.—A third doctor was called into consultation today by the two physicians who have been treating King George, and after a lengthy study of the case, a bulletin was issued which implied that the king was not yet out of danger. Sir Humphrey Rolleston was ealled to Buckingham palace to review the king’s condition with Sir Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson of Penn, who have been attending his majesty. After a two-hour conference with Rolleston, Sir Stanley and Lord Dawson issued the following bulletin: “The inflammation of the lung and pleura sho wsome improvement and the temperature is on a slightly lower level. “It must be noted that the time of possible exacerbation of the infection is not yet passed and in any case progress must be slow'.” Possibility of Relapse A high authority at Buckingham palace told the press: “While there is a slight but distinct improvement in the condition of the king, today’s bulletin makes it clear that the possibility of setback must not yet be ignored.” It was said at the palace that Rolleston was not summoned because the king w'as worse, but because Hewett and Lord Dawson considered that the time had arrived when a review of the whole case was desirable and that they wanted a third opinion. It was understood that the three doctors w'ent ovta all the records of the king’s case, carefully examining the temperature charts and otoher data, including X-rays and the results of the bacteriological examination made last week. Every detail of the case was considered carefully, not only regarding the king’s present condition, but his future prospects and the manner of treatment. Crowd Alarmed

The crowd at the palace gates became alarmed at the long delay in issuing the bulletin beyond the usual hour at which it has been customary to post the morning announcement. The crowd, which had numbered only a few hundreds at mid-morn-ing, grew to a thousand at the 11 a. m. guard mount, and was increased at the lunch hours by laborers, office workers and school children. . The queen, with Princess Mary and the Duchess of York went motoring this afternoon. It was significant that the crowds, which hitherto have expressed silent sympathy on the appearance of the queen, relaxed its tension and cheered her majesty. Wales'Sails Soon The admiralty announced today that it was “practically decided" that the Prince of Wales would disembark from the cruiser Enterprise at Suez and proceeed to Alexandria, Egypt, by train. The admiralty announcement said that the prince would board another warship at Alexandria, probably the Frobisher, and proceed either to Brindisi or Naples. The train trip from Suez to Alexandria would eliminate a slow trip through the Suez canal and sstve many hours on the prince’s journey to London. The prince left Dar-Es-Salaam today for Zanzibar aboard the government yacht Azania. He will return Saturday. He will embark on the fast naval on its arrival at Dar-Es-Salaam Saturday night or Sunday morning. Duke Not to Return The Enterprise is making all speed to reach this port Saturday night, but it may not arrive until Sunday morning. The prince has been cheered considerably by favorable reports of King George’s condition, it was said. It was announced that the Duke of Gloucester, third son of King George, would continue his hunting tour. The Duke of Gloucester is on a canoe trip up the Chambesi river and earlier reports said he would return to England. HEADS TRADE BOARD Commissioner Elected as Chairman of U. S. Body.

Ryan’s Will Leaves His Son Pair of Pearl Studs By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—The will of Thomas Fortune Ryan, filed for probate in surrogate’s court today, cut off his oldest son, Allan Ryan, with only a pair of white pearl studs. Allan Ryan and his father had been estranged since the financier’s second wedding in 1917. The son had resented the marriage inasmuch as it came twelve days after his mother’s death. The will, however, did make provisions for Allan’s children. Practically the entire estate, upon which no definite estimate ever has been made, but which is assumed to be upward of $250.000.000, was left to relatives. When Ryan died last week two other sons and numerous grand and great-grandchildren were at his bedside, but Allan was in Europe. He has npt returned. Allan Ryan lost most of his fortune several years ago when he secured a corner on Stutz motor cars. The deal was too much for him and he was broken and expelled from the stock exchange. The father made no effort to help his son then, although he is said to have expressed admiration of Allan’s fighting spirit.

BOYS KILL MAN FOR ‘WITCHCRAFT’

Confess Beating Neighbor to Death and Setting Fire to Body. By United Press YORK, Pa., Nov. 36.—Superstition over “pow wows” and “black magic” led to the slaying of Raymond Rehrayer, 59, Wednesday night, it was revealed today with the arrest and alleged confession of Wilbert Hess, 18, of near here. John Curry, 14, of New York, and John Blymire, had been arrested Thursday night, and early today Curry confessed to his part in the killing of the man; Blymire, also telling of the killing, said that a third party was implicated', and Hess was arrested. Believed In Witchcraft The Hess youth and his father, Milton, both are firm believers in witchcraft, the youth told authorities. Blymire knew of their superstition, and when the Elder Hess complained that some of his chickens had been stolen, told him that Rehmeyer, a neighbor, had "hexed” or bewitched theqi. The only way to avoid Rehmeyer’s spell, Blymire told the Hesses, was to obtain a lock of Rehmeyer> hair and bury- it eight feet under ground back of,the chicken house. Wednesday night the younger Hess, Blymire and Curry went to Rehmeyer’s house to get a lock of his hair, the confessions say. Set Fire to Body They were admitted. Rehmeyer went out for some wood for a fire, and when he returned. Blymire jumped on his back. Hess told the county officials. Then they beat him with sticks of firewood. They struggled for about an hour before Rehmeyer was knocked unconscious. When it appeared that he was dead, Blymire poured water over his body and over various articles in the room that the man’s assailants had touched, to remove fingerprints, it was said. Then pouring kerosene over Rehmeyer’s clothing and a blanket which he placed near the body, Blymire set fire to the blanket, and the trio fled, according to the story told police.

Not So *Hot 9 Stolen Car Parked for Two Days in Circle While Police Search.

'T'HE world’s fastest cache for stolen automobiles has been found—in Indianapolis—on Monument circle, where police prohibit parking longer than five minutes. The Marmon Victoria coupe of Hairy D. Hartley was stolen from the driveway of the home of his friend, John Ferguson, 3702 Fall Creek boulevard, while the two families listened to the Ferguson radio Tuesday night. Hartley reported the theft to police. There are few such models in Indianapolis and Hartley had hopes the car soon would be found. Wednesday morning employes of the Baldwin Piano Company on the Circle saw a Marmon victoria coupe standing in front of the store. When no one took it away for an hour or two they surmisefi it was a stolen car, and expected opilce to arrive before long to take it away. They did not call police. However, the car was rot touched. Policeman after policeman walked past It. Three officers were thoughful enough to place overtime parking stickers on it. The stickers bore the names of Officers Tyner, J. Davidson and F. E. Ray. The car sat there all day Wednesday, all day Thanksgiving and until 10:30 this morning, when an insurance man, friend of Hartley, walked past and recognized it. The insurance man telephoned Hartley’s home and a garage crew finally took it away. Now Hartley is wondering whether he will have to answer •in court for overtime parking for two and a half days and how much fine one could be assessed for that.

HOOVER GOES TO COURT OF KINGNEPTUNE 1,000 Novices Are Hazed as President-Elect Watches. - HE’S AN OLD SEA DOG Duckings, - Haircuts, Ball and Chain Sentences Are Handed Out. BY THOMAS E. STOKES ABOARD THE U. S. S. MARYLAND, EN ROUTE TO GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR, Nov. 30.—King Neptune, ruler of the sea, assumed command of the Maryland today as the gray flagship of the Pacific fleet nosed into the equatorial zone carrying President-Elect Herbert Hoover on his good-will tour to the Latin-American nations. Mr. Hoover, a “shell back” who has his engraved certificate from King Neptune’s court, heartily joined in with the sway of the mythical sea emperor's power over those on board who were crossing the equator for the first time. Those who go down to sea in ships —as passengers or crew—and pass over the equator for the first time must submit to the dictum of Nep. tune’s royal court, from Davey Jones’ locker It is decreed that neophytes before the tribunal must face the sentence of a ducking in a canvas tank rigged on deck. Before the ducking, the initiates must submit to hazing*. Hoover Is Old-Timer Hoover has seen fourteen of King Neptune's courts —more than anyone on board with the exception of Commander A. T. Beauregard, his navi aide, who has seen sixteen of them. Up over the clipper bow of the battleship, Neptune and his staff clambered—disturbing the peace of j morning rest period. Neptune and his court paraded the desk, with the battleship's band in the lead—playing doleful dirges. The "pollywogs”—those who have never crossed the equator—were warned to join the parade. There were about 1,000 of them. Neptune Holds Court After the solemn parade about the decks Neptune called his court to order on the fore deck under the muzzles of the sixteen-inch guns. Neptune frowned upon all ‘‘pollywogs’’ and sentenced them to various penalties, which included chains, haircuts and the lock-up.. The victims were seized and oil, soft soap and other ingredients were used in a lather for a shave. Then the “pollywogs" all were ducked in a tank rigged on deck for the pur-pose-going in clothes and all. Some of the “pollywogs,” including officers, were chained all night and pirate members of “Long” John’s band chased others up the rigging and cage masts of the Maryland to the crow’s nests, where an acrobatic display was demanded and performed for the throng on deck below.

‘DEATH RANCH’ OWNER DENIES ‘CONFESSION’ Officials Claim Admission of Beheading Boy Is Made. RETURNED FOR . TRIAL 1 Weary and Nervous From Constant Grilling on Way to Los Angeles. M BY HOMER ROBERTS Vnlled Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.—Gordon Stewart Northcott returned under guard today to Las Angeles to face charges of murdering four boys on his Riverside (Cal.) chicken ranch. Northcott’s first statement upon his arrival here from Canada was a denial of a murder confession he was reported to have made aboard the train that brought him here, to Los Angeles authorities investigating the murder of a Mexican youth whose torso was found tit Puenta last February. Northcott, weary and nervous from constant grilling, not only repudiated the confession of the murder of the Mexican youth, but denied any connection with the death of three other purported victims of the Riverside “murder farm.” Father, Forgive Them ‘■fro newspaper men, who were allowed to talk to him for the first time, Northcott exclaimed; “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He said it was his last Interview and that he wished to give vent to his feelings for those who accused him of the four murders. “You can’t plant a couple of bones and accuse a man of murder,” he said. “A funny thing about this whole case is that, although I am the person the most interested, I actually know the least about it.” Aboard the train Northcott made a complete confession of the murder and beheading of an unidentified Mexican boy last February, Earl Redwlne, Riverside, deputy district attorney said. It required several hours for young Northcott to describe in detail the slaying of the Mexican youth and the strain of questioning brought him near collapse. The accused youth’s forehead was dripping with perspiration as he completed his confession of the grewsome slaying. He relaxed for the moment, wiped his face with a handkerchief, then suddenly ex- \ claimed: “Thank God, that’s over, now I can sleep In peace.” The prisoner made the admission voluntarily, according to Redwine. Northcott had disclosed fragmentary parts of the slaying of the Mexican throughout the day, but denied responsibility for three other murders on his farm. “His story is enough to send him the gallows now,” Redwine commented. “It means he will very probably plead guilty to three other murders as well.” The confession was made verbally and no signed statement was taken. It was witnessed, however, by Albert L. Kelley, chief Investigator of the Riverside county district attorneys office. Northcott implicated his nephew, Sanford Clark, in the slaying, according to Redwine. “The murder took place at the chicken ranch,” Northcott was said, to have related. “I had hired the Mexican kid to work and we had a quarrel over his wages. During the dispute I fired at him with a pistol, but didn’t kill him. I shot several more times.

Took Body to Mexico “Sanford helped finish the job. He plugged the Mexican with a .22 bullet. Then we talked about what to do with him. We had put about nine bullets through his head sa we decided it would be best to dispose of it before we disposed of the entire body. “I started to saw the head off the body and got tired so Sanford offered to help. Then we went out into the back yard, built a fire and burned it up.” The two youths then put the remaining part of the corpse into a sack, loaded it Into Northcott’s automobile and drove to Puente, Mexico. Halting along the road, they threw the sack out of the car. “So that is that,” the youth concluded. “It’s about what you wanted, Isn’t it?” Northcott reiterated his assertion that he was not acquainted with the Winslow brothers or the Collins boy also alleged to have been slain by him. MOANS LOSS OF PLATE Housewife Not Worried About Stolen Goose; Take Dessert. “That goose is a gone bird, but I would like to have my platter back,” Mrs. Hattie Granger, proprietor of a restaurant at 2435 Rader street, told police today.

They took a raisin cake along for dessert, said Mrs. Granger.
