SO GOOD, DOCTORS SAY
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 24—The condition of Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler, whose resignation as director of public safety is reported to have been requested by Mayor Kendrick in a letter the delivery of which has been withheld awaiting his recovery, took a turn for the worse late last night and was said early today to be "not so good."
Director Butler became very weak last night while conversing with George W. Elliott, assistant director of public safety, and for a few minutes was unable to speak. Specialists hastily summoned diagnosed his case as a severe attack of bronchitis, "bordering on pneumonia" and ordered a complete rest, "mentally and physically" for forty-eight hours.
While they described his condition as serious, the doctors expressed the belief that he would be able to return to his office within a week.
