President's Son , Herbert is III of Tuberculosis Chest Infection Small and Strong Hope of Ultimate Recovery Says Dr. Joel T. Boone Washington. Sept. 22. Dr. Joel T. Boone, the White House physician, said today a complete diagnosis of the illness of Herbert Hoover, jr., had disclosed a small tubercular infection in his chest. The diseased area is small. Cap tain Bone said. Since the diagnosis has been made early, there is every reason to view the outcome of the president's son's illness optimisti cally. The condition was held to be a re sult of the general rundown condi tion of the 28-year-old man. The president's son was taken last week to the presidential lodge in Vir ginia and was believed to be suffer ing from an intestinal disorder. Diagnosis was not completed, how ever, until this Week. Dr. Boone said early suspicions of a tubercular infection were confirm ed. The young man will stay at the mountain camp probably until frost comes and then will be brought to the White house for another exami nation. Future treatment will be de cided at that time. Dr. Boone said the patient had gained weight and was in much bet ter condition after the one week of rest and regular diet. If properly treated, the physician said, he had every reason to believe full and complete recovery is likely, but it will take months of rest and diet. In the meantime, young Hoover has taken a leave of absence from his business connections as vice-pres ident of the Western Air Express. World-Herald.

Loot in State Over $100,000 Mark for Week Nebraska Invaded by Stickup Men Who Escape Capture Lin oln Bank $50,000 It's been a hectic week for law enforcement officers, and it closed Saturday night vith them taking gloomy count of three successful bank holdups, one attempted safe blowing, and one stickup of a ho tel. The loot obtained totaled bet ter than $100,000. On the credit sida of the account., officers were able to chalk up only one mark, the arrest of Peter Van Allen, Platte Center man, who has been charged with the stickup of the Farmers National bank at Cen tral City, September 13. State Sheriff William Condit was unable to report any progress what ever In trailing down the six men who last Wednesday morning held up the Lincoln National Bank and Trust Co., and under cover of a bat tery and securities estimated at more than $50,000. Suspects Are Innocent Two suspects. Burl Kirk and James Wyscarver, were freed Friday afternoon by Condit when he de cided that the partial identifica tions of witnesses were not suffi cient to hold them. These men were arretted by Omaha police, and Con dit had refused to believe, even be fore they were brought to Lincoln, that they were connected with the crime. One other possible clue was also discarded by Condit when he asserted that he did not take much stock in the partial identification of Fred Burke, Chicago gangster, by two Lincoln policemen as the bandit guard who ordered them to move on when thoy answered a call from the station. The only immediate hope is the discovery of the Buick sedan used by the bandits or the ap pearance of some of the stolen bonds which may be discarded or disposed of. While no clues are immediately available, the state sheriff's office has been rapidly disseminating as much information as is available, to law enforcement officers in nearby states and in other parts of the coun try in regard to the robbery.
