Y., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1935 PRICE THREE CENTS ITALIAN TROOPS CAPTURE CITY OF ADUWA Committee Report on Aggressor Is Coming By WADE WERNER Copyright, 1935, By The Associated Press Geneva, Oct. 5 — The League of Nations Council Committee of T h i r t ce n adopted today a report on the Italo-Ethiopian warfare for immediate submission to the Council, a committee member asserting it inferred that Italy \clearly is in the wrong.\ The committee decided to ask Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy and Dr. Tecla Hawariate of Ethiopia to appear before the public ses- sion of the Council this afternoon and present their final arguments. Coincident -with this British cir- cles said \any sanctions (against tlie aggressor) should be neither weak nor slow.\ It was added, however, that Great Britain wants it understood only collective action should be taken on sanctions, or penalties, in any effdrt to shorten or end the East African war. The committee memper too dis- closed the tenor of the report- stressed there was nothing in it specifically\ designating Italy as the aggressor. It is for the council itself to name the aggres- sor, officials pointed out. Said, of the report: \Anyone reading the report will get the impression from the form of the recdxd-fihat Italy clearly is in the \wrong for one thing, be- cause she has never appealed to the league for settlement of the dis^ pute, whereas Ethiopia has.\ Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy ar- rived today to defend his country's invasion of 'EtMopia. a s a \police measure.\ ' An Italian communication to the League denied that Fascist air- planes had dropped bombs on a Red Cross hospital at Aduwa. There is no such hospital, said the note. Whether Italy shall be punished by applications of sanctions was the moot question next up for discussion. The attitude of the Bri- tish indicated a quick decision on this point would be sought. Premier Pierre Laval of France returned to the city today, armed with a vote of confidence from the French cabinet and admonished by Edouard Herriot, former pre- mier, to second Britain in any move for economic and financial sanctions. Anthony Eden of England was present to obtain a quick decision on the question of who started the hostilities. The day opened dramatically. Repts were current that Premier Mussolini was maneuvering for a peace talk with England and France, now that his armies had wiped out the stain of the Italian defeat at Aduwa in 1896. Reports from London and Paris indicated the rumor was given lit- tle credence. The condemnatory statement is- sued by Frank B. Kellogg, Ameri- can author of the pact intended to outlaw war among nations, in which he characterized Italy's Af- rican adventure as \land-grab- bing,\ caused a sensation among the delegate. Europe Tense as Armies Battle In Ethiopia MORE DEPUTIES {Bloody Battle Waged ARE MIL SM Move to Prevent Dump- ing of Milk from Trains Enroute for Chicago FIRE PREVENTION WEEK TO OPEN Albany, N. Y., Oct. 5 — (AP)— Citizens of the state were urged today by Governor Herbert H. Leh- man to \discover and correct ex- isting fire hazards during fire prevention week next week. Mr. Lehm'an, in designating Oct. 6-11 as fire prevention week last night, also said it was necessary to ex- tend instruction in fire prevention among adults as well as school children. Chicago, Oct. 5—(AP) — United States Marshal William M. Mc- Donnell announced he would swear in 100 more special deputies today to augment his force of 50, now riding Chicago and North Western trains to prevent strikers from dumping milk consigned to Chica- go dairies. McDonnell acted on orders of Federal Judge John P. Barnes who ruled favorably on a petition by the railroad for governmental protection of trains charging that strikers had piled obstructions on tracks. Shortly before the railroad peti- tion was filed striking farmers stopped a train at Huntley, HI., and dumped two carloads of milk. In Mc Henry County, Illinois, where the picketing has been most intense, farm women continued to help their men in halting ship- ments, despite the offer of Chica- go dealers throughout the Pure Milk Association to pay $1.75 a hundred pounds for all milk up to 90 percent of the basic allotment. Previously the price had been paid only for 55 per cent. LEGION HEAD IS FREED OF CHARGE EDITORS NOTE: This story was received before a late bulletin, reporting the capture of Aduwa by Italians. Copyright, 1935, By The Associated Press Addis Ababa, Oct. 5—Ethiopian soldiers fought des- perately today to block the east jaw of the Italian pinch- ers which are trying to clamp down on Aduwa, city of vengeance, from the direction of Adigrat. An official government communique said that the latter city, whicjr the-Italians reporEed^yesterday they*had captured, Was held fey Ethiopian forces, although the van- guard of the Italian column was not much more than one-half hour march from Adigrat, only 40 miles from Aduwa. NON COMBATANTS FLEE TO SHELTER A squadron of Italian airplanes was stated officially to have shot down women and children in the village of Bethe Hawariat, close to Adigrat. The non-combattants, it was said, were running to shelter when the fliers opened up on them. Italian airplanes were swarming all over the Adigrat area. A government communique read: \The Italians penetrated the towns of Wayeta and En- guela near Adigrat but have not yet reached Adigrat. \A spirited battle occurred between the forces of Ras Seyoum (the Ethiopian commander in the area) and of General De Bono (the Italian leader), resulting in the capture by the Ethiopians of one Italian, captain, three Eritrean officers, two machine guns, and 1 0 rifles. No Ethiopian officers were kill- ed but considerable casualties were reported among the soldiers on both sides.\ With the Italian advance against Aduwa, where Italians were de- feated 40 years ago, apparently held up on the east, no reports were received here as to any far- ther progress by the attackers from the West. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 5 — (AP)— Bert Spinney, 42, commander of Niagara Frontier Post, American Legion, today was absolved of criminal charges in connection with the death of his friend, Frank Masset, 38, last July. A grand jury reported \no bill\ j on the first degree manslaughter warrent on which Spinney was ar- rested shortly after Massed died following a fist fight aboard a riv- er cruise boat. The fight grew out of an argument over who was to take care of foeer glasses and other equipment used during the cruise. WHY COACHES AGE RAPIDLY A BASEBAllfflARTYR Chicago, Oct. 5 — (AP) — Art Felsch, of Milwaukee, probably was the unhappiest fan at Wrigley Field. He held his place at the head of the line by the bleacher ticket window for two weeks suf- fering cold and private to make sure he would see the Cubs in their first home game. He could have walked into eith- er right or left field stands a half hour before game time and had his pick of a couple of thousand «>ats. ASKS LOTTERIES BE MADE LEGAL New York, Oct. 5—(AF)-^Mrs Oliver Harriman wants a recom- mendation for legalized lotteries to aid charities submitted to the leg- islature in the report of Governor ^Herbert H. Lehman's crime con- ference. She wired the chairman of the conference last night for aid in her campaign \so that the gov- ernment might put a stop to the flow of money into illegal chan- nels.\ Flagstaff, Ariz., Oct. 5— (AP)—Here's a new worry that beset; Coach Mark Macintosh of Arizona State Teachers Col- lege. With half his varsity bench- ed for injuries, Macintosh found his star halfback, Cecil Emmetfc, being examined for jury duty in a murder trial. Macintosh heaved a sigh of relief when Emmett was re- jected. Internal communications were improved by a resumption of serv- ice by the Gorahai Radio Station which was bombed from the air within the last two days. The Italian forces were making a .heavy use of airplanes. It was retorted without confirmation that 9 Italian planes last night passed over Ahafatchi, a village, not shown on maps, 45 miles west of Addis. Ababa. The unconfirmed report stated they intended to bomb the capital ,but lost their way and returned to their base. FDR KEEPING EARTOaOUND WHILE ON TRIP Confident Ethiopian Cris- is, Will Cause No Breach In United States Policy I Enroute with President • Roose- velt on the Pacific, Oct. 5—(AP)— Convinced that the Italo-Ethiopian crisis will cause no breach in the United States' non-entanglement policy, President Roosevelt cruised southward today toward Cape San Lucas, at the tip of Low- er California. The President's satisfaction over American neutrality has been made known definitely, as he \stud- ies reports constantly reaching the cruiser Houston. Mr. Roosevelt each afternoon Is enjoying his favorite sport, deep sea fishing. After the Houston anchored off Magdalena Beach, he went out- side the channel to the open sea in a motorboat yesterday for three hours of trolling. Reports of catch- es are lacking, however, and there is beginning to be speculation whether the President has had any success at all. Newspapermen and others on the escort ship, Portland, however, are pulling in big daily hauls from the semi-tropical sea. MAKES FORCED LANDING IN TUB Dallas, Tex., Oct. 5— (AP) — Capt. Leon McKennon, who has made 364 parachute drops from airplanes, suffered a slight brain concussion in a forced landing in his bathtub last night. A bar of soap caused the crash.

Burden has decided to wait until Oct. 28, before asking for dismissal of a score of injunctions restraining the Federal Government from collect- ing AAA processing taxe.s in Up- State New York. The delay was agreed upon yesterday because of the heavy criminal calendar in Federal Court. The cases provide the first test in New 3Tork State of the affectiveness of recent amendments to the AAA. MARCUS GOES RIDING Chicago, Oct. 5—(AP) — Marcus Striecher bashed in three cars beside his own, toppled over a steel light post and caused a half hour traffic jam at a busy inter- section. The police charged him with reckless driving. FDR's ^Breathing Spell' Brings Business Gains Encouraging Reports From Business in 30-Day Period, Check-up Reveals Washington, Oct. 5— (AP)— At the end of the first month of President Roosevelt's \breath- ing «ipell,\ a check-up showed today that the 30 days were market* by a number of en- couraging reports from busi- ness. 4 But a final determination of industrial progress during the mQiitht waits the issuance of governmental and other statis- tic? mot yet available. Europe's troubles tended to restrain the ardor of stock mar- ket bulls, interrupting the boom in security prices which followed the announcement of a \breathing spell\ for in- dustry, but other indices contin- ued on the whole to rise. What effect, if any, the Presi- dent's pronouncement had on these indices is a question on which they are varying views, and no attempt to determine the effect is made in this ar- ticle. Though there were some exceptions, the end of the first month today showed most bar- ometers of industrial activity at or near the peak for the year. WOMAN KILLED CROSSING ROAD Hudson, N. Y., Oct. 5—(AP) — Ella May Ward, 28, of New York City and Hudson, was killed here last night when she was struck by a truck as she crossed the high- way.

He was standing in front of his truck ''adjusting the headlights when the machine was struck from the rear by another truck. IIS ! 'I U. S. Decision Near On Arus Embargo Washington, Oct. 5—(AP) — Tak-j ing a new step designed to pre- serve American neutrality in a troubled world, the State Depart- ment today had completed ar- rangements for licensing all manu- facture, exports and imports of implements of war. The' government, however, had not yet placed an embargo on ship- ments of American arms and mun- itions to Italy and Ethiopia, al- though the decision on Which the embargo question hinges was be- lieved to be near. Many observers thought it might be made by to- night or Monday. The question confronting the State Department since fighting started in Ethiopia is whether the hostili- ties constitute a \states of war.\ Upon hearing from the State De- partment that war is in progress, President Roosevelt, now cruising in the Pacific, stands ready to cut off shipments of arms to the bellig- erents. McCormick, Cummings Get Threatening Notes Chicago, Oct. 5—(AP)—Har- old F. McCormick and Wil- liam C. .Cummings, Chicago in- dustrial leaders have been threatened with abduction and blackmail over a period of three weeks, Police Captain John Prendergast said today. During that time, the police and agents of the Depart- ment of Justice have made se- cret efforts repeatedly to trap the plotters through negotia- tions by telephone and letter from the home of Cummings, president of -the Drovers' Na- tional Bank. * Capt. Prendergast said the extortionists last night agreed to accepj §30,300 but na one- - appeared, at»- -the -Cummings; ' home fo^ collect the^mpney. Cummings told the authorir ties he had received several unsigned notes reading,, \we have been thinking about kid- naping you for a long time. Pay us $30,000 and you'll be in no danger. If you don't you'll be in trouble plenty.\ Four similar notes were re- ceived by C'lmmings and Mc- Fighting Fierce on 3 Fronts By The Associated Press Italian and Ethiopian troops fought fiercely today on three fronts of vital importance to the black empire of Haile Selassie. The more liberal estimates of the casualties, which were uncon- firmed, said uncounted thousands of men on both sides had been killed. Nearing Aduwa, \city of ven- geance,\ where an Italian army was slaughtered by Ethiopian war- riors 40 years ago, Premier Musso- lini's northern army drove for- ward—a Rome communique said. At the Eritrean Army headquar- ters, the staff said capture was \only a matter of hours.\ Italian native troops were reported only 12 miles from their mountainous and hazardous objective. Addis Ababa advices were less precise, but it appeared well es- tablished that 100,000 black fight- ing men, under Ras Seyoum, gov- ernor of • East Tigre province, were ready for a fight to the death over world war-like terrain with an equal number of Italians. The other formidable front was in central Ethiopia, where the Ital- ians are attempting to sever Haile Selassie|s only link with the out- side .world—-the Djibouti - Addis Abab railway. TWO YOUTHS GET LONG PRISON TERMS Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 5—(AP)— Two Buffalo youths were under sentence today to long terms in prison for their part in a violent holdup which netted them less \than five dollars and resulted in the death of their victim. They were Roman Marcinowski, 21,\ and Henry Michalski, 20, ac- cused of slaying William McGuire, 65, a clam peddler, during the hold- up, several months ago. Convicted of second degree mur- der by a jury, Marcinowski yester- day was sentenced to 35 years in Attica prison and Michalski, who pleaded guilty to the charge was given not less than 20 years. Cormick, who is chairman of of the board of the Interna- tional Harvester Company. They apparently were the work of a poorly educated per- son, Capt. Pjrendergast said. The police also investigated the possibility the threats might be the work of a crank. ETHIOPIA APPEALS Asks That Sanctions Against Italy to Be Put Into Immediate Force (Copyright, 1935, the Associated Press) Geneva, Oct. 5 — Ethiopia formally appealed to the League of Nations council for the immediate enforcement of military, naval • and aviation sanctions against Italy. The appeal was made under par- agraph 2 of Article XVI of the League Covenant which provides that it is the' duty of the Council— in case a league member resorts to unprovoked war—to ask other members for contributions of mil- itary, naval, and air forces \to protect the covenants of the League.\ Emperor Haile Selassie's gov- ernment asked the immediate ap- plication of this paragraph to \put an end soon as possible to the hostilities which have just begun in defiance of law and the most sol- emn obligations.\ By today's appeal, Emperor Haile Selassie was regarded as having brushed aside talk of eco- nomic and financial sanctions against Italy with a demand that the bloodshed in his mountainous realm be halted by the armed au- thority of the league—on the land and sea and in the air. The appeal was made shortly he- fore the League Council was to meet on a report prepared by the Council's Committee of 13 in which, a committee member as- serted, it Was inferred that Italy \clearly is in the wrong\ in her war with Ethiopia.

Copyright, 1935, By The Associated Press Addis Ababa, Oct. 5-^— Aduwa, city of vengeance, but without an Ethiopian soldier in its streets, was re- ported fallen today to the Italian army. It was stated unofficially that the Italian forces moved in without opposi- tion to find a city populated only by women, children, and such infirm men as has been unable to join Emper- or Haile Selassie's armies. - It was indicated that the Ethio- pian forces had fallen back behind the town into the hills while their brothers in arms fought desperate- ly to block the east jaw of the Italian pinchers whose west jaw was at Aduwa. Serious fighting was reported in the direction of Adigrat. Hollidaysburg, Pa., Oct. 5—(AP) Thomas Benton was sure there were prowlers hi his' garage and went out in the darkness to inves- tigate. . Something hit him on the head, so he ran back to his house, got a shotgun ; and fired into the air. That brought down more apples from a tree next to the garage. He didn't see any prowlers. Addis Ababa, Oct. 5— Ethiopian warriors, defend\ ing Aduwa from the ad- yance 4 ;of Italy-s blackshirts 1 along; a 25-mile i rdnt, were-^ reported today to have reoc- cupied Adigrat, seized fey tthe Italians during their drive from Eritrea. The Italians •were reported to have attempted to bomb Makale, 100 -miles southeast of Aduwa on the northern front, but their marksmanship was poor and their missiles dropped into a forest, setting it afire. Simultaneously, unconfirmed re- ports reached the capital that 2,000 Ethiopian casualties were suffered in fighting on the southern Ogaden front,' facing Italian Somaliland. One hundred thousand war- riors of Ras Seyoum, governor of East Tigre Province, en- < trusted with the defense of Adu- wa, faced Mussolini's Fascists, determined to save the city where the Italians sought re-, * venge for a defeat 40 yeais ago.
