 date for mayor in conference with the well known barrister last night the hook-up is now, more than ever, definitely established.
 It has been known right along that Attorney Tobin has been pre- pairing the addresses and adver- tisements of MT. Connor. The board of strategy's rude interrup- ton last night by the auto acci- dent left the leaders in possession of badly shaken nerves for the time-being.
 As c result of last nights acci- dent the public now knows that the independent party Is really the Tobin party, as stated before, and many of the oid-time accusations against the democratic administra- ton made famous by Attorney Tobin can be expected to be reechoed by Candidate Connor.
 Some time after the accident occurred last evening, Candidate Connor visited the police head quarters in an effort to have the matter settled. He sought to es- cape the embarrassment of having the news leak out that he was at the home of Attorney Tobin coun- selling on campaign matters. However, the news spread of the accident and of his presence at the Hamilton avenue headquart- CTS of the independent democratic party.

|Suez Canal Vital Point If War Breaks
Rx NEA servlce

Vital tO success of Italy lf war comes with Ethiopia is the suez canal, shown in the accompany ing map, linking the Mediterran. can and Red seas. Through 1t MussOIini's transports must pass to reach ErItrea. Italian colony bordering Ethiopia. Despite pop. ulaF belief, the. canal is not Brit ish controlled. 1t is operated by . private business concern and no nation has direct authority over it. It Is owned and Oper. ated by the Suez Canal Company, a French organization, which holds concession from the Egyptian government, through whose territory it passes, expir. ing in 1868. Of the shares, 62 per cent are held by French in. vestOrs, A per cent by the Brit. ish government, and the re. nIalDder in other countries. The builder was Ferdinand de Les. sepsh, Frcnchman known also Tor his failure to complete the Panama canal. The Suez canal, unlike the Panama canal, has no locks. It is 1O4.5 miles long, the northern entrance being at Port Said and it's southern en. trance at Port Tewfik. Various international agreements have provided that the waterway should remain open at all times to the ships of all nations, but during the World war the canal was garrfsOned by British and French troops and closed to ves- scls of the Central Powers, though 1t remained open to neu- tral shlDning.

 The men proudly displayed the modern weapons with which they are confident Ethiopia can repel an invasion by motorized units of the Roman legions of today. The in- fantrymen shouldered mausers.

 Other Indications
 Other indications of war tension is shown in the following:
 Wheat prices in Chicago since August 31 have jumped 9 7-S to II 3-4 cents bushel, as of yester- days close. Trading is heavy. The Buenos Aires wheat market is more active than in several years with prices rising. Liverpool Is active and prices are 50 much higher that bread prices in London have jumped 3 times in the last few weeks. New York buyers have talked of price rises. Winnipeg wheat futures daily this week have jumped as much as 3 cents bush el, the limit.
 Copper Goes Up
 Domestic copper is now 9 cents a pound. up 1-2 cent from the Sep tember 1 level, refecting jump of almost 1-2 cent in the foreign cop per price to 8.66 cents, the highest level since July, 1893. Foreign cop- per climbed on heavy war buying.
 Cotton prices since the first of September have advanced more than $1.50 bale with the New York spot cotton priced up 35 points to Il cents pound. Pre- cautionary buying through fears the Suez canal may be blocked, thus barring delivery of Indian cot ton, has aided this situation.
 Stock market prices for war ba- bies' have climbed as much as II 1-2 points, with many new highs particularly in du Pont.
 Bond Market Nervous
 Bond markets are nervous. Brit ish war loans in London have dropped to the years lows and the issues are weak here. Bank of France and Suez Canal issues on the Paris Bourse have lost upwards of 1000 francs each in recent weeks. The Tokyo exchange has a war boom". Italian bonds here are nervous after sharp sell-offs when the war tension began to grow in August.
 Insurance companies are uncer- tain on foreign shipments. Marine insurance rates into the zone which will be center of any difficulties, are higher. The rate on shipm ents Is now AZ 1-2 cents per $100 values compared with cents previously. Rates through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea are up more than 100 per cent. Cotton insurance men re- portedly will meet soon to adjust rates upward.
 News of Industries
 Industrial news has included:
 R. K. Le Blond Machine Tool company at Cincinnati received an order for 28 lathes from the Fiat Automobile company. The lathes are the types used for boring in making shells and munitions.
 The Allegheny Steel company re- ported an order for 5000 pounds of cold rolled stainless steel, re- portedly for a new streamlined train.
 Reports in the cotton trade said one famous international house had sold all it's spot cotton held in Italy to the Italian government.

 The American Iron and Steel in- stitute reported that in the first 6 months Italian purchases of scrap D iron and steel had been 55 per cent in excess of purchases in the corre- spending 1884 period.

 England Was BIuffing
 Baron Aloisi, an infinitely subtle diplomat, appreciates perfectly that this time England is not bluf- fing."
 This was augmented by the as sertion that, though somea damage might be suffered by the British fleet in first encounters with an Italian fleet victory in the end would go to Britain. France it was said also. could not disavow its allies, Britain and the league.
 October was mentioned here as a probable date for an Italian attack on Ethiopia, and 1t was speculated also that an effort would be made to impose economic and financial penalties on Italy within six weeks following, naval penalties to be the last resort.
 Another British Move
 Military and naval experts, spec ulating on the possibility of . clash between Italy and Britain, regarded as significant reports that in addition to sending . mighty fleet to the Mediterranean Britain was sending war craft to the Island of Mauritius off Mada- gascar east of Africa. From Mau- ritius Britain could move ships to cut off the Italian East African colonies from any communication at all, and could deprive them of food and water supplies.

Smaller Concessions

Geneva, Sept 20.-(UP)-Benito Mussolini will be offered even smaller concessions in Ethiopia If he rejects the present league of na- tions peace plan, 1t was indicated today in reliable quarters.
 The league council, if forced to act, would not approve an offer 50 generous as the prenent one, 1t was understood, on the ground that such an offer was unfair to Ethi- opia. Hence Italy's only chance seemed to be in the present plan which is offered not by the council but by an unofficial five-nation committee which 1t appointed.
 All Italian newspaper cores pondents in Geneva resigned last night from the international asso- citation of Journalists accredited to the league, believing its election today would name officers of anti facist tendency.
 He reiterated his statement that unless the leagues proposals are modified, 'it is entirely out of the question that Italy will accept them."
 The Italian people. he said, view the situation with the maximum of calm."
