Following a line from Capablanca's Chess Fundamentals - is this a mistake?

This is the starting setup: lichess.org/analysis/8/8/8/4k3/8/8/8/4K2R_w_-_-_0_1#0

He says to proceed as such: "1 K - K 2, K - Q 4; 2 K - K 3." I think that in algebraic notation this would mean 1. ke2 kd4 2. ke3, but that's an illegal move! Am I misunderstanding the descriptive notation?

The book is free on Project Gutenberg if you want to see it yourself. It's chapter 1, example 2.
