SLIGHT GAIN IS MADE BY KING ' ‘ —— - Fear For Ruler Growing Despite Improvement. Bu United Press LONDON, Dec. 29.—Little encouragement was given today in a bulletin indicating a “very slight” change for the better in the condition of King George. The bulletin issued at Buckingham Palace and timed at 11:30 a. m., said. “The king spent a quiet night. There is a very slight change for the better in his majesty’s condition.” Despite the fact that the last three bulletins from the palace indicated an improvement in the king's condition after a severe relapse Thursday. palace officials considered the entire situation as unfavorable. It was pointed out that the morning bulletin merely mentioned that the king had a quiet night, but there was nothing to indicate whether the monarch was getting restful sleep so necessary to the weakened condition of his constitution at the beginning of the sixth week of a severe illness. It Mas said authoritatively at the palace that anew course of medicine will be administered to the patient. The treatment will not involve blood transfusion, palace authorities said.

GRILL FORMER EMPLOYE IN PETTIS SAFE ROBBERY

Detectives grilled a Negro employe of the Pettis Dry Goods Company today in an effort to obtain a clew to the gang of yeggs who tied up the watchman and a custodian of the store early Friday and looted one of the store safes of $6,000.

Detectives obtained little information from hifh and gave him “the night to think it over and come clean.” Hold “Inside Man” Suspect The man under arrest is suspected of being the "inside man” in the store robbery. The accurate knowledge of the store displayed by the burglars is certain evidence that they had an inside accomplice, police believe. As they worked in the store for more than three hours, attempting to open the inner strong box of the safe in which the store’s $15,000 payroll was kept and the jewelry safe which would have netted them many more thousands of. loot, they pulled in proper order the twenty, six’ A. D. T. boxes in the store and left alone the twenty-seventh box, which would have sounded a burglar alarm. Loot Totals $6,000 They left behind them a Chicago newspaper on which a diagram of all the boxes and the order in which they should be pulled was drawn. The amount of loot taken, which was at first believed to be $7,500 and then $7,000. was reduced to approximately $6,000 today. Store officials said a recheck showed a little mare than $5,000 of store funds and $925 in postoffice substation funds missing.

Dec. zg.—A means of dentification, advocated by William de Graaf, would eliminate “unknown soldier” graves in the future, would provide a ready means of information to police and “serve as a living passport.” De Graaf believes that if the United States passed a law providing that all parents should have the name, age and place of birth tattooed on their infants’ bodies, it would prevent the babies, in later life, from “going where they would be ashamed to be found.” “The tattoo mark,” says De Graaf, “should be placed on a part of the body which would be invisible without careful scrutiny.” WIN EF R A UDINLO ND 0 N Inferior Grade Sold in Night Clubs at High Prices.

PRISON ORDER DELAY IS WON BY SHUMAKER Temporary Writ Granted by Judge Baltzell; Act Further Today. CRUSADER IS CONFIDENT Certain He Will Not Have to Serve Term on State Farm. BULLETIN Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell granted a temporary writ of habeas corpus to the Rev. E. S. Shumaker shortly before 10 a. m. and set the hearing on the permanent writ, which if granted, finally would free Shumaker, for 10:30 this morning. Attorney General Arthur L, GUliom Mas notified at once, so be could be present to represent the state, and the supreme court sheriff was directed to take Shumaker to federal court for hearing. The Rev. E. S. Shumaker, his martyr robes cast aside, sat in his own office in the Roosevelt building, technically in custody of the sheriff of state supreme court today while his attorney E. A. Miles appeared before Federal Judge Robert Baltzell in a hasty effort to get a writ preventing the transportation of Shumaker to Indiana state farm. The sheriff went to Shumaker's office at 8:30 to serve a warrant issued upon order of supreme court Friday when the court held that the pardon granted by Governor Ed Jackson Oct. 18 was illegal, and directed that Shumaker be taken back to the farm and kept there sixty days for contempt committed in comment upon the court in his annual report for 1925. Writ Is Served Shumaker did not arrive untl' 9:15. Sheriff William L. Reasoncr immediately served the writ. Miles had a pica for temporary and permanent, writs of habeas corpus ready to file in federal court excepting a copy of the writ read by the sheriff. This was rapidly copied into the petition and Miles rushed to the federal building. Meanwhile, Shumaker and Sheriff Reasoner sat in Shumaker’s private office pleasantly chatting for a quarter of an hour. Then .the sheriff departed to attend to other business, stating he would return during the morning. Crusader Confident Shumaker appeared confident federal court would grant him temporary freedom and appeared to have made no plans to go to the farm. The procedure under the writ of habeas corpus would be to admit Shumaker to bond in federal court pending hearing on the permanent writ, thus keeping him out of the farm. In case Judge Baltzell refused to grant the temporary writ Shumaker’s attorneys were prepared to take the case to the United States circuit court of appeals at Chicago. Tells of Court’s “Wrong” The petition for habeas corpus writ alleges that Shumaker w as detained in violation of his "equal protection under the law” rights guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution. The petition reqites all the wrongs Shumaker feels supreme court has done him. the chief contentions being that he was not guilty of contempt in criticising acts of the court on cases already decided, that the court had no jurisdiction over him in an indirect contempt case, that Justices Travis and Willoughby were unduly prejudiced against him and erred in not disqualifying themselves, that the taking and readings of depositions in the case from Henry Lane Wilson and Senator James E. Watson was illegal and that the overthrowing of the pardon granted Shumaker. Oct. 18, by Governor Ed Jackson was illegal.
