TO ABYSSINIA
u. S. Demands Punishment
of Drunken Police Who
Attacked Minister.
BY JOSEPH Fl. BAIRD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - A
potent eastern monarch, who in the
past has exchanged only suave and
f1owery phrases with the state de-
partment, today faced a stern de-
mand from the United States.
Seeking for the second time with
in three weeks satisfaction for in
suits offered American diplomats
abroad, Secretary of State Stimson,
Friday night demanded that En-
peror Halle SelasSie 1 of Ethiopia
punish his subjects who last Sun
day attacked Minister Addison E.
Southland.
Only a few weeks earlier StimSon
protested to Japan an attack by its
soldiers on American Consul Culver
B. Chamberlain. Toxic promptly
apologized and offered to punish the
offenders. The Ethiopian "diplo-
matte incident" is closely parallel
to the japanese.
Struck by Drunken Police
Stimson's representations will be
made through Southland himself.
The minister was instructed to call
on Halle Selassie, who enjoys the
pompous title of "Conquering Lilo of
the Tribe of Judah, Select of God,
Emperor of Ethiopia" and present
the demands.
First, the state department asked
that Southard'S aSSailants be
punished; second, that the emperor's
action be made public; third, that
effective steps" be taken to protect
all foreign representatives in Ethio-
pia.
While going through the streets
of Adds Ababa last Sunday, South
ards car lightly struck" a native,
he reported. The minister's chauf-
feur was dragged from the car by
drunken police, who were about to
beat him when Southland interviewed.
He was knocked down, but not hurt
seriously.
Minister, Monarch Friends
In recent weeks, it is understood
antagonism to Americans and Eu-
ropeans alike has grown up in Adds
Ababa. That probably accounts for
Stimson'S demand for the safety of
all foreign representatives It would
not surprise observers here if other
powers also protested.

The japanese warships steamed
into port while local japanese resi-
dents were attending the funeral of
one of their Nationals killed in riots
here Wednesday. A mass meeting
of the Japanese Club, in the heart
of the international settlement, fol-

Sular police. Chinese troops were
standing by in the native sections of
the city.

meeting were held without incident.
After radical elements at the mass
meeting had been quoted, a reso-
luton was adopted placing conf
dence in the attitude of the navy
and agreeing to depend upon the
navy to obtain cessation of anti
Japanese movements, in accordance
with the demands presented to the
Chinese.
Five hundred Japanese attended
the funeral, and 1000 were at the
mass meeting.
Japanese officials urged their ma
tionals not to create disturbance
and to leave procedure to the naval
and consular authorities who re-
ceived their instructions from Toxic.
Threaten Action
The Japanese demands for salts
faction were issued by consular and
naval officials to Chinese authori-
ties, and to the publishers of the
newspapers Minkuo and the Shang-
hal Daily News, which allegedly in

The Chinese were warned that
the ultimatumS would expire shortly
and that drastic naval action"
might be expected unless satisfac-
ton was obtained. The Japanese
demands were made in connection
with Wednesdays riots, in which
two Chinese factories we're burned

There isn't a bit of doubt but
that we would have many schools
closed right now if a severe cold
spell hit the city.
Our schools most certainly are
not in shape to resist severe cold
weather. And we do not have the
funds to do anything about it."
1881 Funds Half Gone
Osler scanned his records to show
that the charges of unsafe and in
sanitary" conditions in indianapolis
schools are correct.
Our schools" he said, and es-
pecially the old ones, need lot OF
work done on them.
I'VE need fireproof stairways,
sanitary toilet equipment, improved
lighting facilities, and several new
boilers to replace those old d1apl-
dated things we call boilers.
I'VE need to repair many other
boilers, and we are forty schools be-
hind in our painting program"
Starting the year with 100000 for
repairs and maintenance to the

Osler reported today that $52,574
