LEGATION HIT IN HEAVY FIRING AS RIOTERS SACK ADDIS ABABA; SELASSIE FLEES TO DJIBOUTI - Americans Safe in Missions as Capital Plunderers Set Fire to City. POLICE PROTECTION COLLAPSES AS ITALIAN INVADERS ADVANCE Minister Maintains Contact in Radio Bulletins to Station Here—All Tele phone Connections Out. BACKGROUND— Neither League of Nations’ sanctions nor economic diffi culties nor moral censure has hindered Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia and a new “place in the sun” for Mussolini. Last Fall II Duce began his actual military invasion of the East African country with skirmishes on the northern and south ern borders. Slowly thereafter Fascist troops pushed into the tortuous Ethiopian inland. They came from Eritrea on the north and Italian Somaliland on the south.. Natives fell de fending their country; Selassie fought, prayed and beseeched Geneva’s aid, but Dessye was conquered and Harar. Then all Rome’s roads led to Addis Ababa. By the Associated Press. Fire, pillage and riot raged in Ethiopia’s ancient capital of Addis Ababa last night as, in the absence of government, bands of plunderers poured through the town. The royal family had fled the city in the anticipation of an attack by advancing Italian troops. A report radioed to the State Department by the Amer ican Minister, Cornelius Van H. Engert, said the center of the city was burning fiercely; that three stray bullets had struck the American Legation but none of its occupants had been hurt. Van Engert reported heavy firing in the town, with bands of plunderers roaming the streets seeking loot. In a message filed, at 5 p.m. Addis Ababa time, he re ported the home of an American vice consul, W. M. Cramp of Philadelphia, had been sacked of all his possessions while he was in the legation. Americans Take Refuge in Diplomatic Missions. The fate of most of the 53 American men. women and children believed to be in Addis Ababa apparently was not known at that time. Five Americans had taken refuge in the British Legation and three others were in the American diplomatic mission. In addition, the American Legation was giving temporary shel ter to 30 Greeks and six Russians, men, women and children, who had been unable to reach other legations in safety. Even before flames began sweeping the flimsy structures of Addis Ababa. Engert said that the situation rapidly was getting out of hand. Police protection had broken down, most of the shops had been looted, and there was firing on all sides. Although he said there had been no* - specific anti-foreign demonstrations, movement about the streets was ex tremely hazardous. Apparently large quantities of rifles and ammunition abandoned by gov ernment and police officials were in the hands of the rioters. Ricochets Hit Legation. Engert said no bullets had been fired directly into the American Le-; gation compounds, describing those which hit legation buildings as ri cochets. AU local telephone communication was severed, but Engert said he was endeavoring to maintain contact by \ messengers with the other legations in Addis Ababa and with the head quarters of American missions there. Until yesterday, the government had been in communication with Addis Ababa only twice daily at short in tervals, through the naval communi cations system, but because of the present emergency, it was endeavor ing last night to maintain continuous contact with the four American naval radio men in the legation’s station. Messages were being received in the most fragmentary form, due to un satisfactory atmospheric conditions. Reporting the flight of the govern- J ment last night from Addis Ababa. Engert said the destination of Em peror Haile Selassie was undetermined, but that the Empress with her daugh ter and Prince Makonnen had left by train for Djibouti in French Somali land. and were believed to be en route to Jerusalem. Looting Breaks Out. As soon as news of the government’s departure circulated, looting began in the town and not long afterward fire broke out. Engert said the post office was burn ing and that firing was deafening. Declaring' that all occupants of the ‘ (See ETHIOPIaT Page-A-4.)

May 3 (Sunday).— The Radio Marine Corp. early today received a message stating the steam ers City of Aukland and Canadian Planter had collided and the latter was sinking 4 miles northwest ot Cross Rip lightship. The message said the Aukland was standing by. The City of Aukland sailed from Halifax, Nova Scotia, April 27 for Boston and New York; the Canadian Planter was en route from New York to Boston and Montreal. Cross Rip Lightship is between Cape Cod and Nantucket. Neither the Coast Guard nor other sources here had heard of a collision. Both the ships are freighters. The Planter is a 5,399-ton vessel managed by National Steamships, with Montreal as home port; the City of Aukland is of 8,336 tons and handled by the Hall Line, Ltd., with Liverpool as home port. FALL IN BATH ROOM PROVES FATAL TO CHILD John Francis Price, 2, Dies After Plunge to Floor From Stool. Two-year-old John Francis Price died last night of a fractured skull received when he fell to the floor of the bath room at his home, 1315 Park road. He was the son of Jackson Lee Price, an insurance agent. Police were told the boy was stand ing on a stool reaching for a tooth brush when he lost his balance. A colored maid took him to the office of Dr. John W. Crowe, 1325 Park road, where he died about an hour later. Artificial respiration was administered by the rescue squad for 45 minutes in a futile effort to save him. The boy was one of three children in the family. ► ^M^mmmmmmmm_ Navy Operators Keep Radio Link To Addis Ababa RADIOMAN W. S. HROZA. Receiving direct from Addis Ababa. —Star Staff Photo. ELL laid plans of the Navy and State Departments here to maintain constant radio communication be tween Washington and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, proved their worth yester day, when rioting broke out in the East African capital, and four Amer ican naval radio men were able to keep the administration abreast of developments. The high-frequency short-wave set is the sole means of communication between the American Capital and Addis Ababa. A constant watch is being kept so that the latest flashes may be transmitted to Washington j from the little radio station at the American Legation in the war zone. Interference has been so great, how ever, that they have had to repeat the messages, which are in code, sent out by Cornelius Van H. Engert, the American Minister. The request was sent out that other channels be cleared so that communication might be tried on other kilocycles in an effort to overcome the unfavorable atmos pheric conditions. Giant Towers Used. The giant radio towers at Arlington, Va„ and Annapolis. Md„ were brought into play and the messages trans mitted directly Into the Navy Depart ment, into the office of naval com munications. The last message to come through yesterday was sent from Engert at I 11 p.m., Ethiopian time, informing the State Department that the Min ister was going to get some sleep after an exciting day. He said that the department would immediately be no tified of any major development. Last night the Associated Press re ported from Rome that the account of the disorders in Addis Ababa sent to Wasfhington by the American Minister in Ethiopia was printed widely in Rome’s Sunday morning newspapers. William S. Hroza, veteran radio man, second class, U. S. Navy, who listens In directly with Addis Ababa, was on duty last night at the Navy Department, ready to get the latest news from Ethiopia. The State Department months ago took steps to keep the channels of (See RADIO, Page A-4.) LABOR OPERATIVE DIES Police Say W. R. Cushman Shot Self After Quarrel. NEW YORK, May 2 OP) .—William R.

I By the Associated Press. I ROME, May 3 (Sunday).—Ital ian press dispatches from Dji bouti, French Somaliland, early today said Emperor Haile Se lassie and his family would reach that city by special train today after fleeing from Addis Ababa. The news of the Negus’ departure threw Rome Into an Impromptu cele bration last night. The sources for the news were the British and French governments, Italy remaining without direct in formation. Newspapers printed extras. Crowds packed around news stands, snatching up the papers as fast as they were delivered for sale. Celebration Is Unofficial. The joy of victory was expressed without the regimentation prepared by the government, which already had ordered the nation to prepare for a nation-wide “adunata”—a mobiliza tion in honor of the Italian Army’s arrival in Addis Ababa. The adunata. when it does come will mark the climax of Italy’s third victorious war in 24 years. Marshall Pietro Badoglio's forces already were close to Addis Ababa after working their way up the slide torn tortuous road from Dessye, re ports here said. The troops were not moving as fast as when they started their victorious upward climb. Heavy rains had set in, bogging the narrow highway, and landslides were frequent. Badoglio's communique today did not state the exact position of the advancing column, and consequently it was impossible for observers to de termine just how quickly he could get his men into Addis Aababa to restore order. Occupation News Expected. Announcement of an entrance into the city has been expected from day to day for nearly a week past, how ever, so the Fascist Black Shirts can not be far away. Correspondents on the scene said a column of troops from Eritrea, moving down the old caravan trail, already had joined the motorized column of Italians and that the two forces were proceeding together to the city. As a gesture, expressing the soli darity of the Italian nation the ad vance point of the motorized column. the unit which will make the triumphal entry, is composed of detachments of every Italian service participating in the war. So intent is the citizenry on cele brating the expected fall of Addis Ababa that Venice had a premature adunata all its own today. Milan, Turin and Genoa experienced the same accidental mobilization yes terday. Readers9 Guide PART ONE. Main News Section. General News—Pages A-l, B-8. Changing World—A-4. Lost and Found—A-15.

A strange phenomenon of water and other liquids made luminescent by sound waves and a method of ob taining pure antigens for some of the most deadly human diseases were de scribed before the American Physical Society meeting here yesterday by Dr. L. A. Chambers of the Johnson Foun dation of New York. The method consists of sending sound waves of a frequency of approx imately 9,000 cycles a second just above the range of human audibility, through liquids. This results in a phenomenon known as cavitation caused by the production of high mo mentum in one part of the fluid and none in the other part One part breaks away for an infinitesimal time from the other with a space between them which is practically a vacuum. Instantly this vacuum closes with s tremendous iorce, which is suwcient, literally, to tear the liquid to pieces and cause the weird effects described by Dr. Chambers. The implications of the discovery are far-reaching, al though none of the results are as yet sufficiently, standardized as to be on a practical basis. It has long been known that very rapid sound waves have the power of killing minute living organisms. Hence, Dr. Chambers said in an inter view, it has been possible by this means to kill the bacteria in milk— the effect now reached by pasteurisa tion—without heat and merely by placing it in the path of such waves. This may eventually replace heating of milk, which has biological effects no( entirely satisfactory. Another result has been the pro (See ANTIGENS, Page A-5.)

By Harry Hopkins. OPPONENTS EIGHT FUNDSFORP. W. A. House Leaders Ready to Act to Hold Relief Cash for W. P. A. BACKGROUND— A gigantic public works program was one of President Roosevelt’s early recommendations for solving at least partially the problem of unemployment. By January, 1935, however, the President had come to the conclusion a small work pro gram would be more effective and turned most of the S4.800,000,000 in the 1935 relief act over to the W. P. A. Since then the clash be tween the W. P. A. and the Public Works Administration has been ceaseless. Each agency wants the lion’s share of the pending relief ajipropriation. By the Associated Press. House leaders are ready to put an Iron-clad rule around the adminis tration’s $1,500,000,000 relief appro priation, if necessary, to protect It against public works advocates. Speaker Byms told reporters as he emerged from a conference with Presi dent Roosevelt yesterday he was con fident the House would not order a part of the appropriation set aside for public works. All of the money was requested by Mr. Roosevelt for the Works Progress Administration, with more to be added if any were to be used for public works. Byrns was of the opinion none would be added. The Speaker added significantly that If a special rule were necessary to expedite its consideration, he was sure it could be obtained easily. Caucus Is Threatened. A P. W. A. bloc, headed by Repre sentative Beiter, Democrat, of New York, has threatened to call a Dem ocratic caucus if its negotiations fail. A special rule might bar all amend ments if a majority of the House ap proved such procedure, but Beiter has said he had sufficient strength to force through his demands, and, apparently, vote dowm such a rule. “We’ve got the votes,” was the way he put it. The P. W. A. bloc leaders con ferred with President Roosevelt Thurs day, and Friday met with Secretary Ickes and Harry L. Hopkins. Beiter reported afterward that Hopkins ex pressed willingness, if the President agreed, to transfer $400,000,000 of the new funds to Ickes for such projects as schools and sewers which would not cost any more per man than W. P. A. projects. Cites Approved Projects. Ickes told them. Beiter said, that he had $345,000,000 of such projects, capable of putting a million men to work, which already were approved and ready to start, and that more than enough to make up the $400, 000,000 were near final approval. Belter said he and his colleagues in the movement would go to the White House again Tuesday, after President William Green and other American Federation of Labor leaders had con ferred with Mr. Roosevelt to urge P. W. A. funds. Byrns said the deficiency-relief ap propriations bill would come up Thursday or Friday and would go to the Senate some time in the follow ing week.

LITTLE “TROUBLE” ! SEEN FOR TAX BILL r ! Harrison Predicts Consider \ ation by Senate Soon With Some Changes. • BACKGROUND TWO months ago today President Roosevelt asked Congress for a new revenue law and urged a thorough change in the theory of corporate taxation—impose a tax on surpluses instead of the current tax on in come. The bill, supposed to provide r SSOO.000,000 to pay the bonus and A. A. A. checks, passed the House, where all revenue legislation must originate, early last week. [ By the Associated Press. Despite alternative proposals and , continued opposition from business critics. Chairman Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee yesterday forecast the House tax bill would slide onto the Senate floor without “much trouble.” , His statement came at the conclu , slon of the third day of hearings, in j which criticism of the administration , tax plan was mingled with suggestions for other ways to raise revenue, j Even Democratic members of the committee joined in suggesting substi tutes. Senator Bailey of North Caro lina advanced the idea that the "most constructive way” to balance the budget might be to encourage business recovery rather than to lay new taxes. Bailey and Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, joined in asking Treasury experts to estimate what revenue would be realized from the present tax laws if the annual national income should rise to $70,000,000,000. King already has proposed a substitute for | the pending bill, based mainly upon higher income taxes. Changes Anticipated. But as the hearings recessed for the week end, Harrison told newspaper men: “I don’t think we are going to I have much trouble getting this bill . out of the committee." He added, how > ever, that there probably would be . some changes in the measure. , The committee chairman’s state j ment was in accord with plans of . congressional leaders to push the tax ■ and relief bills through Congress dur ing the next month and wind up the , session before the Republican National t Convention June 9. , House leaders said the deficiency r (See TAXEsT^age ATT87) FLYERS LOSE WAY 1 MEXICO CITY.

Hitler and his financial expert com posed their differences at a conference which was so hearty it led one high German official to assert: "The grounds for divorce having been eliminated through a heart-to heart talk, the marriage will continue."

SPAIN PROBES PLOT TO SLAY PRESIDENT Eight Held—“Confession’’ Re* ported—One Killed in Rioting. By thf Associated Press. MADRID, May 2.—Eight alleged conspirators in a plot to assassinate Premier Manuel Azana were held in communicado tonight while police investigated possible ramifications. Strict silence was maintained as to details of a "confession” police said was made by one man. Three of the men held were implicated in the con fession as the instigators of the plot. Police said Emiliano Carmelo Ruano, a former member of the Spanish Le gion, who made the purported con fession, said the plot was originally hatched several months ago when Azana was organizing the left parties into the "popular front,” which later swept the elections. Ruano said that Eduardo Pardo Reina, criminal attorney who defended Capt. Rojas, sentenced to life impris onment for the killing of 13 anarchists in Casa Ciejas in the Winter of 1933, approached him with the plot. Meanwhile, three political outbreaks resulted in one death and a number of persons wounded. In the town of Alomarde, Province of Granada, an extremist was killed and several others were wounded during an exchange of shots with civil guards. I A
