Rome Counting
on Oil From
Germany.
VERDICT TAKEN
WITHOUT VOTE
Geneva's Next Job
Is Application
of Penalties.
By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, October 10—An Italian
spokesman told the Associated Press
today any naval blockade against
Italy means war.
The spokesman said the Italian dele
gation probably would leave Geneva
tomorrow', although still awaiting or
ders.
Discussing the possibility that an
Ineffective economic boycott might
lead to a blockade to make sanctions
really effective, he said the Italian
people do not fear economic sanctions
because Italy counts on getting its
necessities from Germany through
Austria. He added oil can be ob
tained “from some other nation”
which can send it to Italy through
fiermany.
Italy Stifling to Death.
Italians are enraged as well as de
pressed over the Assembly’s over
* whelming condemnation of Italy, the
spokesman said.
“Why will the world not recognize
Italy is stifling unto death and needs
to find an outlet?” he asked. "Why
doesn't it realize it must remove the
causes of war and give Italy some
great open spaces where Italians may
breathe?”
The League of Nations. wTith at least
50 of Its 59 members definitely on
record as approving the punishment
of Italy for its invasion of Ethiopia,
moved meanwhile for a quick applica
tion of that punishment.
The Steering committee oi me
League Assembly decided that repre
sentatives of every member of the
League except Italy and Ethiopia
should serve on a committe to co
ordinate the work of the Council and
the Assembly in instituting sanctions
against Italy.
Since Germany will leave the
League October 21, the decision means
that the Co-ordination Commission
will be made up of 56 nations.
At a morning meeting the Assembly
gave its overwhelming approval to
the Council’s condemnation of Italy.
Two Refuse to Accept Report.
Only Italy, Austria and Hungary
announced non-acceptance of the
Council’s report against Italy, al
though in League circles it was sug
gested that Albania probably would at
least make reservations to the general
Vote of condemnation.
In an afternoon session of the As
sembly, Tecle Hawariate, the Ethiopian
delegate, charged anew that his nation
was the victim of atrocious aggression.
He declared: "It is not war but
massacre, because of the superiority of
the Italian armament.”
He said that he would accept, in the
name of the Ethiopian government, all
procedure which the League decides on
with a view toward ending the hostili
ties, but that he would accept nothing
which would place a premium on ag
gression.
Approval of the League’s stand tor
sanctions was expressed by representa
tives of Ecuador, Chile, Yugoslavia and
Greece.
The latter two delegates said they
represented the Little Entente and the
Balkan Eentente, respectively, in hold
ing that the League Covenant against
aggression should be faithfully applied.
Representatives of 54 nations at
tended the morning session.
C. Potich of Yugoslavia speaking in
the name of the Little Entente (Yugo
slavia. Czechoslovakia and .Rumania),
said the Little Entente believes above
all that the Covenant should be tully
applied and that it remains faithful
to the Covenant.
Demetrios Maximos of Greece made
a similar declaration on behalf of the
Balkan Entente.
League Faces Second Task.
"The League is now faced by Its
aecond task,” asserted Anthony Eden
of England. "Action must be taken.
I declare our full willingness to par
ticipate in that action.”
Premier Pierre Laval of Prance also
declared his nation's intention to meet

SANCTIONS’ VALUE
Austria and Hungary Can
Supply Italy With Needed
Materials.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
The defection of Austria and Hun
gary from application of economic
sanctions against Italy weakens con
siderably the stand taken by other
nations at Geneva, since Italy will
not be deprived of some raw ma
terials necessary to continue the war
against Ethiopia.
Before the Assembly of the League
met yesterday it was known in well
informed League quarters that at
least two nations—Austria and Hun
gary—would disassociate themselves
from the action of the other mem
bers.
It is believed now that Switzerland
and Yugoslavia, while voting in favor
of economic sanctions, would, not en
force them.
Independent of Mediterranean.
The open desertion of Austria and
Hungary renders Italy practically in
dependent of the Mediterranean for
foodstuffs. Hungary continues to be
one 9! the principal granaries of
Europe and will continue to supply,
as in the past, the Italians with
wheat, com and cattle. Austria, less
important as an agricultural country,
is the main commercial center in
Central Europe. It is the clearing
house for the raw-material producing
countries of the Danubian Valley—
Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Rumania,
Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. As long as
this center is not closed to Mussolini
there is nothing to prevent the other
Danubian states which have voted in
favor of economic sanctions to sell the
products in Vienna without caring
where they will be directed thence.
A new network of roads between
Italy and Austria was inaugurated
last year and trucks and railways can
convey to Italy all the raw materials
Italy needs.
Oil, which Rumania is producing
in large quantities, can reach Jtaly
by way of Austria. Oil is one of the
most important commodities needed
by Mussolini, because without it the
Italian navy would be helpless.
Hungary Can Send Coat
In the same manner coal from
Transylvania and Hungary can be
sent to Italy, in case the German
government decides to abide—unoffi
cially—by the decisions of the League.
Such an attitude of the Reich seems.
| according to reports from Europe, very
unlikely.

ADDIS ABABA, October 10.—The
Pall of the holy city of Aksum before
the Italian advance and wholesale
killings of Ethiopians by Italian air
bombs in the south were announced
officially today by the Italian Minister
and the Ethiopian government, re
spectively.
Emperor Haile Selassie requested the
Minister, Luigi Vinci-Glgliucci, to
leave at once, thereby, with the recall
of the Ethiopian charge d'affaires,
Negradas Yesus. from Rome, rupturing
diplomatic relations between Ethiopia
and Italy.
The Emperor Informed the United
States that Ethiopia adheres loyally
to the Washington treaty of 1922 be
tween America, Great Britain, Italy
and Japan, outlawing poison gas. The
observance of this treaty was open
to other nations as well as the sig
natories.
Ancient Relics Spared.
Reports from Aksum, before com
munications were cut, indicated the
Italian bombing planes had spared
the ancient city of the Queen of
Sheba and that the monks, Seeing
before the Fascist Infantry, were able
to remove many of their holy relics.
It was indicated that the Italian
artillery also had spared the strange
monolithic obelisk which rise like
headstones to the past. The town
was centuries old when Rome was
founded.
Ethiopian legend has it that Mene
lek. said to be the son of the Queen
of Sheba and King Solomon, fled to
Aksum in the long distant past, car
rying the Ten Commandments there
from Jerusalem. There, too, legend
relates, he brought the Ark of the
Covenant.
A government communique wmcn
told of the bombing raids in the
south was the first official Ethiopian
announcement to mention casualties
on either side.
It said nine Italian airplanes
bombed Gorahei, near Gerlogubi, and
also the Ethiopian post of Taffarika
tama and Jialmo, which are not
marked on maps, and that many
were killed.
Two Flyers Reported Killed.
The same communique said an Ital
ian plane had crashed at Garaalta on
the northern front, and that two of
the flyers were filled and two were
dying.
Further, it was announced that 1,000
native Eritrean soldiers had deserted
from Italy’s northern army and. bring
ing their Italian arms, were expected
to arrive at Makale later in the day,
although Italian airplanes were pur
suing them.
The Italian infantry was reported
advancing in the Webbe and Shibell
region.
Reinforcements of 50.000 modernly
equipped troops under Ras Guetatcho,
governor general of Kaffa province,
were marching toward Addis Ababa' to
wall off the capital from Italian at
tack.

provincial governor who wears half
moon earrings as a sign of his prowess
as a soldier and elephant hunter, is

ETHIOPIAN SHAKE-UP
REPORTED BY ROME
Selassie Declared Taking Action
to Offset “Collapse of
Troops’ Morale.”
By the Associated Press.
ROME, October 10.—Emperor Haile
Selassie has ordered a shake-up among
the , chieftains commanding his troops
because of the “collapse of their
morale,” Italian' war correspondents
reported today.
The Emperor’s action was deter
mined by the success of the Italian
advance on the first day (October 2),
the dispatches added. The damaged
morale, the correspondents said, was
shown by the men as well as officers.
Several attempts by Ethiopian
forces to cross the Eritreaga frontier
have been repulsed, the adyites stated,
notably a counter-attack at Omager
"attempted under sever of darkness.”

Defense Counsel Hopeful of
Success of Appeal to U. S.
Supreme Court.
(Text of Hauptmann decision
will be found starting on Page
A-12.)
_,
By the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. J., October 10.—
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's attor
ney* started a new drive today to
save the convicted Lindbergh baby
killer from the electric chair—this
time through appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The defense counsel appeared hope
ful. despite the flat rejection yes
terday by the Court of Errors and
Appeals, New Jersey's highest tribunal,
of their plea for a reversal of Haupt
mann's conviction.
They decided to meet today or
tomorrow to draft the first steps in
their new campaign.
Hauptmann remained in his cell In
the death house of the State Prison,
awaiting the promised visit of his
wife Anna for their tenth wedding
anniversary today.
"My God, what a fine anniversary
present for Anna,” Hauptmann said
of the decision.
Appear* "Slightly Nervous."
He had lost some of the calm that
has marked his bearing since his
arrest in New York Bronx over a
year ago. Prison officials said he
did not eat his regular meal last
night and appeared “slightly nervous,
but not noticeably upset.” .
C. Lloyd Fisher, one of his at
torneys, broke the news to him shortly
after the opinion was rendered. Haupt
mann reiterated he was innocent and
held to his belief, Fisher said, that
"some court will find that out before
it is too late.”
Egbert Rosecrans, only member of
defense counsel qualified to appear
before the Nation’s highest court, laid
the groundwork for the proposed ap
peal in arguing before the Court of
Errors and Appeals that Hauptmann's
constitutional rights under the four
teenth amendment were violated dur
ing his trial at Flemlngton.
Rosecrans declined to comment be
fore studying the opinion, but Fisher
said he told Hauptmann that "instead
of the end, this is just the beginning
of the battle.”
There was a possibility, hovi%ver.
that the appeal to the Suprtjne Court
might be handicapped by&lack of
funds. Fisher said the aetpn would
have to be financed by public sub
scription, the method used to obtain
funds for the futile appeal in the
State court.
He disclosed that the defense fund
reported to have once totaled between
$20,000 and $35,000—is virtually ex
hausted.
It was believed the defense would

Ellsworth Sails October 16,
Will Attempt to Fly Antarctic
BY LINCOLN ELLSWORTH.
MONTEVIDEO, October 10 (NJl.
N.A.).—With the bottom scraped and
painted, the Wyatt Earp slipped
from the drydock yesterday and
is now anchored In the harbor here,
to remain until tionday, when she will
be tied alongside the wharf to take
on the last of the expdBkion supplies.
Tnen, on Wednesday, detober 16, we
will head southward on our third
attempt to span the Antarctic con
tinent by airplane.
The trial flights having been com
pleted, the airplane Polar Star is again
secured In the hold and in perfect
condition. Both pilots, N. Hoollick
Kenyon and J. N. Lymbumer, one of
whom will accompany me on the
trans-Antarctic flight, have flown the
plane repeatedly to accustom them
selves to the low-wing, high-speed
Northrop monoplane.
All members of the expedition are
now In this city, some of them new
comers, but Capt. OlsopAphlef Mate
Uavaag, Chief Engineer pusnboe, and
the wireless operator, Walter Lens,
accompany me for the third time In ,
facing the unknown dangers and diffi
culties of the far southern waters.
I returned today from Mendoza, at
the foot of the Andean Range, where
I further familiarized myself with that
great mountain system, which some
geologists believe continues under
water south of Cape Horn to rise at
Graham Land, 10,000 feet above sea
level, dips again beneath the snows
of Hearst land for 600 miles further
south, and rises once more upon the
Antarctic continent to join with the
Queen Maude Range and the polar
plateau. This it a question I hope to
solve this year by flying from the
Weddell to the Roes Sea.
The Wyatt Karp is calling at Magal
lanes, Chile, en route to the base at
Dundee Island, wh^ch we expect to
reach early in November. I consider
it unwise to attempt a flight after
January 1, but confidently expect an
opportunity before then for the trans
Antarctic journey to be made in one
or more stages, and so complete what
has frequently been q£»ed "the last

Collapses When Prosecutor
Quizzes Her About Trip
to Chicago.
By the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. October 10 — Mrs.
Prances A. Robinson collapsed on the
witness stand today while under cross
examination by Government counsel
in the Stoll kidnaping trial.
On trial Jointly with her father-in
law, Thomas H. Robinson, sr., for
complicity in the $50,000 kidnaping of
Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll here a year ago
today, Mrs. Robinson had given a de
tailed account of her life with Thomas
H. Robinson. Jr., who is hunted as the
kidnaper. Shortly after their marriage,
she said, he shot and wounded her.
She also testified he had been in an
insane asylum for a time.
Assistant District Attorney Oldham
Clark was cross questioning her as to
why she went to Chicago with her
husband prior to the kidnaping when
she slumped back in the witness chair.
"I can’t say,” she said, in tears.
For a time she was unable to proceed
with her testimony.
Judge Elwood Hamilton asked her if
there was something she was unable
to tell or something she did not wish
to tell.
Well, judge, Til tell you-" she
began, but counsel demanded that she
address the Jury. Again she wept.
“I always wanted to give my hus
band a decent chance even if he was
mean to me.” she said tearfully.
Government counsel suggested a re
cess, but Judge Hamilton said he did
not think it was necessary. The wit
ness became more composed, and asked
again why she went to Chicago, she
said she did not know, but that her
husband used to choke her.

A. F. OF L. RIVALS
Bitter Fight Waged Over
Seating of Trades Union
Delegates.
By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., October 10.
—A showdown in the fight between
rival factions of the American Federa
tion of Labor Building Trades Union
was deferred today by the federation
convention.
Two groups of trades unions have
been engaged for more than a year in
a fight for control of machinery to
settle jurisdictional disputes.
Each group claims to make up the
legitimate building trades department.
In one group are the “big three”
unions—carpenters, bricklayers and
electricians—and four smaller unions.
In the other are the plumbers, plaster
ers and 10 others.
Committee Backs Williams.
The dispute reached the convention
floor when both J. W. Williams, presi
dent of the department recognized fjy
the federation’s Executive Council, and
M. J. McDonough, president of the
other department, presented credentials
as a delegate.
The convention’s Credentials Com
mittee recommended seating Williams
after last-minute conciliation efforts
came to naught.
Speakers for both sides reviewed the
story of the scrap at leangth this
morning.
Felix Knight of the carmen pro
posed, however, that a vote be de
ferred until the Committee on the Ex
ecutive Council’s report was submit
ted. The council, in its report, rec
ommended continued conciliation ef
forts.
After Philip Murray, vice president
of the United Mine Workers, made a
fervid plea for delay, William Green,
federation president, called for a voice
vote.
18,092 for Delay.
Green’s opinion was that the dele
gates opposing delay won, but a roll
call showed the opposite. The vote
was 18,092 for delay, 10,603 against.
The McDonough group, informally,
expressed belief it could hold its ad
vantage when the final vote on ac
ceptance or rejection of the opposi
tion's delegate, Williams, came. They
pointed out that mo6t of the interna
tional unions, controlling the large
voting blocks, showed an alignment
today which would not change.
Among the McDonough supporters
were the United Mine Workers,
headed by John L. Lewis, with their
4,000 votes.
Two British delegates outlined eco
nomic and labor problems in Europe
before the convention assembly.
Andrew Naesmith, fraternal dele
gate from the British Trades Union
Congress, said the British worker suf
fered acutely throughout the post
war period and realized war "neither
pays victors nor vanquished.”
Sees Dictatorships Waning.
“The dislocation of the world eco
nomic system brought about largely
by the war and other Influences has
seriously affected the position of
Britan In the world export trades,"
he declared.
Dictatorship In Europe “is begin
ning to lose its grip on its victims,”
M. A. Conley asserted.
Conley condemned “destruction of
working class organization” and said:
“Starvation and destitution have
been kept at bay by our system of
social insurance—a system which owes
its origin to British trade unionism.”
246 Resolutions Presented.
The deadline for introduction of
resolutions disclosed 246 presented,
the largest number in recent years.
Included were condemnation of the
Italian advance into Ethiopia; feder
ation recognition of Industrial unions
in mass production industries; estab
lishment of a labor party; demand
that the Associated Press be denied
labor news for “hostility to unioniza
tion of its telegraphers”; criticism of
Father Charles E. Coughlin for ef
forts to unionize the automobile in
