FRENCH AGREE

Cabinet Decides to Oppose
Any Attempts to Put
Curb on Rome.
LOSE HOPE FOR PEACE
Paris, However, Convinced

B*f l m Prt m
PARIS. Aug 28 —The French
cabinet in a three-hour session to
day, was understood to have ap
proved a firm French stand at
Geneva against international pen
alties against Italy.
The cabinet has abandoned hopes
of seeing the conflict in Africa set
tled without war, but was increas
ingly optimistic on the chances of
localizing it, avoiding a breakdown
of the League of Nations and
Frances policy on the continent.
Paris was hopeful that the ten
sion between Italy and Britain
would be settled as a result of the
Italian decision to present Italy's
case to the League Council next
Wednesday.
Success of the League machinery
depended, however, on an agree
ment by Italy to suspend military
action pending a League decision. If
Italy refuses, the situation is hope
less.
Demonstrating its anxiety over
the crisis, the cabinet appointed a
formidable delegation to represent
France at Geneva. It will be headed
by Premier Pierre Laval. Edouard
Herriot and Joseph Paul-Boncour.
All are veteran French stateomen
and have been both premier and
foreign minister.
Reach Complete Deadlock
Rjf I in Ull I'n
PARIS. Aug. 28.—The mixed
Italian-Ethiopian arbitration com
mission charged with attempting to
determine responsibility for border
clashes in East Africa reached a
complete deadlock tonight.
The commission, consisting of
two representatives of Italy and two
of Ethiopia, decided to call in the
fifth and neutral member, Nicholas
Politis of Greece.
Eden to Avoid Paris

meeting, intends to go to Geneva
Monday without halting in Paris to
see Premier Pierre Laval, it was
said on reliable authority today.
In Pans it was announced that
three veteran premiers, ai! of whom
have served as foreign minister, will
lead Frances delegation to the
council—Pierre Laval. Edouard Her

The Paris announcement and the

War Preparations Continue
Preparations for war continued
briskly. After strengthening its gar
rison at Malta in the Mediterranean
and providing means for combating
air raids, the British government
forbade any foreigner to land on the
island without a special landing
card from the police.
Financial writers here asserted
that all British banks were asking
their Italian customers not to seek
to use credits which had been made
available to them.
Sweden announced plans to or
ganize and strengthen its defense
against an enemy invading from the
south. Germany is on the south.
Air bases are to be strengthened and
the army to be reorganized.

Ray Puts Deputy in Race
Sheriff Perches Deputy in Poolroom to Guard Against
Gambling, Matching Morrissey's Method.
BY JOE COLLIER
Times Staff Writer
Sheriff Otto Ray'today entered a candidate in the‘great levee tree
sitting contest, now more than a year old. when he perched Deputy Sheriff
Roscoe Bredeli in a poolroom at 217 N. Illinois-st.
Chief Mike Morrissey's team of patrolmen, who have been sitting in
Tommy Dillon's place at 111 W. Maryland-st almost continuously for more
than a year, had the situation well in hand, or however you would say it.
Meanwhile. Chief Morrissey said
he had heard rumors that gambling
activities might be carried on at the
Indiana State Fairground during
the Grand Circuit races.
Announcement was made yester
day that Sheriff Ray's deputies
would have charge of the fair polic
ing this year instead of Chief Mor
rissey's squads, as heretofore.
"If we learn of any gambling out
there,” Chief Morrissey said, "we will
move in and stop it.”
Only one day after the American
Legion state convention left town
during which all local gambling op
erations were said to have been
suspended, this new symptom of un -
rest on the levee sprung directly
from a Municipal Court hearing
this morning.
It was in the case of 21 men who
were arrested by the sheriff in a
raid on the Illinois-st place July 6.

A Holiday Present
THE TIMES has a special Labor Day treat all done up in a bright
ly colored four-page package for its readers next Monday.
The Dionnes, those five chubby little ladies in Callendar, Ontario,
recently posed for their first full-color photographs. Two full pages
of these pictures, reprinted in real life color, wil lappear in Mon
days Times, along with a life-size photograph of Annette, the lively
quin who won The Times’ quintuplet "bathing beauty” contest.
As an extra treat for holiday readers. The Times will offer a
fourth page of interesting advance facts by David Dietz, famous
science writer, about the newdv developed Diesel motors, which are
likely to revolutionize the motor industry. The story of Diesel will
be published later in detail by The Times.
Indianapolis readers will be interested especially in this story
because it was Clessie Cummins of Columbus who made a trans
continental trip in his specially designed Diesel motor car recently
at a total fuel cost of $7.53.
Remember, two marvels of science—the Dionne quintuplets and
the Diesel motor —pictures of the former in full color and amazing
details of the Diesel motor—both in Monday's Times.

airplane motors, but may be sus

Marconi made his announcement
to a group of newspaper men just
after disclosure that he had vol
unteered for active service.
He intends to sail for Brazil in
the liner Augustus Sept. 10 to in
augurate a powerful short wave
radio station at Santos.
000
HE will return to Italy about
the end of September—at the
time when the Italian-Ethiopian
war is expected to start—and en
roll in the army as a volunteer in
the engineering signal corps. To
do so he will renounce his present
rank as captain in the navy.
Marconi refused bluntly to re
veal the exact nature of his experi
ments, but admitted he hoped to
perfect some phases before he
leaves for Brazil. No definite an
nouncement would be made, he
said, until he had obtained
patents.
Those who heard the wireless
wizard got the impression that if
his experiments met with the ex
pected success he would be able to
paralyze operations of fleets and
airplanes, halt automobiles, bring
to a halt all types of military
mechanized units and take war
fare back to the foot soldier and
cavalry era.
000
THERE have been many re
ports, in scientific circles of
rays that would halt airplanes.
The one today came as a calm as
sertion from the man who at 25
instituted practical wireless trans
mission and who won the 1906
Nobel Prize in physics.
From time to time, for the last
five years, there have been reports
of Marconi’s experiments, hints
that he might make history in the
sixth decade of his life as he did
in his youth. He has spent nearly
all his time cruising about Ital
ian waters in his yacht Elettra
which contains one of the most
remarkable of scientific labora
tories.
In the Elettra he has experi
mented year after year with the
ultra-short waves. It has been re
ported on apparently reliable au
thority that he hoped micro and
ultra short wave rays might
bring'life to mankind as well as
death to those who made war in
the air.
One report was that he believed
the weaves, applied somewhat in
the manner of X-rays, would elim
inate many operations and make
those which are necessary less
dangerous.
He has experimented also with
operation of ships and airplanes
as well as with paralysis of their
motors.

Socialist Leaders to Hold
Terre Haute Session
Despite Order.
Norman Thomas, titular head of
the Socialist Party, and Powers
Hapgood, Indianapolis organizer,
plan to hold a public Socialist meet
ing in Terre Haute betwen now and
Monday despite military orders
against open air meetings.
Mr. Hapgood. wT.o returned here
last night after imprisonment in
Vigo County jail under orders of
Maj. Earl Weimer. in charge of In
diana Guardsmen enforcing martial
law in the home city of the late
Eugene V. Debs, said today he had
been warned against holding meet
ings out-of-doors.
Mr. Hapgood. a member of the
national executive committee of the
Socialist Party, was released Tues
day morning although he refused to
promise not to return to Terre
Haute and speak.
‘‘Fascist Dictatorship” Admitted
The Indianapolis Socialist leader
was arrested when he went to see
Sheriff William Baker about the
release of Leo Vernon, Madison,
Wis., Socialist organizer, arrested as
he made a Terre Haute speech last
week.
Mr. Hapgood charged here today
that when he was released he de
manded to know if a Fascist dicta
torship had been established in
America.
"Not in all America,” he quoted
Maj. Weimar as saying, ‘but in
Vigo and Sullivan Counties a Fascist
dictatorship is exactly what we
have.”
Maj. Weimer arrived at the Vigo
County jail Monday morning to in
terview him, Mr. flnpgood said.
Weimer Asked for Pledge
"If you are released,” he quoted
Maj. Weimer as saying, "will you
understand that you can hold no
meetings in Vigo and Sullivan
Counties?”
“I have no such understanding of
the situation,” Mr. Hapgood said he
told the military chief.
Thereupon, according to Mr. Hap
good, Maj. Weimer left the jail and
did not return until Tuesday morn
ing.
Monday, Mr. Vernon was freed.
According to Mr. Hapgood, the mil
itary authorities did not ask him to
promise not to hold meetings in
Terre Haute.
When he was released, Mr. Hap
good said he was informed he could
not hold open air meetings in the
two strike-torn counties. He de
clared Maj. Weimer said indoor
meetings may be held “if you don't
go too far.”
Efforts will be made to secure a
hall for the proposed meeting, at
which Mr. Thomas will speak; If
none can be hired, Mr. Hapgood
said, an outdoor meeting will be
staged in defiance of the military
order.

May Pass Rule to

Pit United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.
President Roosevelt today
said $72,000,000 in benefits
for the aged, widowed moth
ers and crippled children ap
parently would have to be
held up four months because
of Senator lluey P. Long's
filibuster which killed the
third deficiency bill.
Mr. Roosevelt said that a careful
study revealed no source of funds
to provide the benefits and that the
stuation looked discouraging.
. Fiscal experts are still hunting a
way to provide the money, which
was carried in the deficiency bill
but there appeared small likelihood
that the hunt would be successful.
Wait for Congress
All the government will be able
to do. Mr. Roosevelt indicated, is to
set up the machinery for adminis
tration of the new social security
program and wait for Congress to
meet in January to supply money
to finance it.
The President's statement coin
cided with announcement by Sen
ate Majority Leader Joseph T. Rob
inson that as a result of Long's
action he would move in January
to change the time-hallowed Sen
ate rule providing for unlimited
debate.
The rule, a jealously guarded
Senate privilege from the time of
its earliest meeting, would be
amended if Senator Robinson's plan
is carried out to end the possibility
of one-man filibusters such as
Long's.
