Japanese Penetration Into
Abyssinia Causes Con-
Germ in Rome.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, September S.-Japanese
penetration into Abyssinia is causing
considerable concern to Italy, it was
stated in informed quarters today,
after 1t became known that troops
and munitions have been sent to
Italian colonies in Eastern Africa.
A sense of uneasiness because Of
Japanese activity was increased. 1t was
said, because of growing militaristie
manifestations in the Ethiopian empire
of Abyssinia.
Soldiers and supplies, consequently.
were dispatched to Eritrea, Italy's
colony on the Red Sea, and to
Somaliland.
Not Declared Aggressive Movement.
An ofiicial spokesman asserted that
the Italian expedition into Africa is
movement. The protection of colonists,
he said, was the only immediate con-
Germ of the government at Rome.
The spokesman said that an exten-
sion of Japanese trade into Abyssinia.
and the favors which Emperor Halle
Selassie of that African State has
been bestowing on the Japanese
should serve as a warning that Asiatic
peoples are establishing q f0othold
near the doors of Europe"
Premier Mussolini, who is returning
from tour through Southern Italy to
confer with military leaders at Venezia
Palace, was said to be Of the opinion
that the moment for European CO.
operation to meet problems in Africa
is not propitious. The Italian deci-
sion to send troops on its own initia-
tive was said to reflect this unsettled
condition.
Expedition Denied.
Rumors that military supplies were
being sent to Africa with the consent
Of France and England in preparation
for an Italian expedition into Abys-
Sinia were denied officially.
Mussolini, homeward bound, planned
to stop at Brindisi and Foggia today.
1t was expected he would make an
other speech at Foggia.
After telling the Italian people to
''be ready for any eventuality," Pre-
mier Mussolini, in an address at Ia
ranto, let 1t be known last night that
he will hurry back to Rome for a
conference of generals and divisionary
commanders of the entire Italian

New York Stocks
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, April IA dozen
or so preferred issues rose two to
seven points on the stock exchange
today, while the main list turned ir-
regularly lower in light dealings.
There was moderate demand for
some of the amusements and their
prices were enhanced. Packing is
sues continued firm. Rubebrs had a
period of firmness along with rub
Der futures. Utilities were dull but
firm. Rails eased in dull trading as
did oils, steelS, wet stocks and
chemicals.
A slow decline was in progress in
the last hour following a break in
grains. Wheat closed off Ia to rs
cents; corn off is to rs; rye off
1A to IA cents and oats rs to is
cents.
Among the preferred issues to
make wide gains were American
Beet Sugar II up IA; Curtis Pub

Silver issues were depressed when
it was learned the senate banking
committee was extending its inves-
tigation into holdings of silver
commitments. Farm equipments de-
clined with grains, and mail order
shares followed. Automobile issues
sold off on fears of further strikes
in the industry. Aviation issues lost
small amounts.
Sales totaled 100000 shares,
against 1,550,000 yesterday. Curb
sales were 285,000 shares, against
1853 900 yesterday.

JONES FLAYS
GRAIN MARKET
SPECTATORS

WASHINGTON, April II. U.p)-
Operations of grain spectators on
the Chicago board of trade were de-
nounced today by Rep. Marvin
Jones, Dem0 Texas, chairman of
the house agriculture committee.
The denunciation was made at a
hearing on the commodity exchange
bill to regulate grain markets.
I'm view of the report of the op-
erations of spectators it seems to
me that the Chicago board of trade
is sadly in need of regulation"
Jones said, land if the operations
of such men as Arthur w. Cutten
are condoned it is a sad commen-
tary on the ethics of the business
men of Chicago"
Previously Charles v. Roger, vice.
president of the First National bank
of Chicago, urged that the govern
ment maintain a hands off policy
until effectiveness of the recently
signed grain trade code had been
demonstrated.
