LONDON, July 4 U.N.S0
Italy's adamant resolution to
proceed with her Abyssinian con-
quest. despite the efforts OF
Britain and the League of Ma
tions, today resulted in an at
tempt to bring the United States
into the issue.
London, in a "face-saving'
move, decided to sound out Wash

nomic warfare against Italy, il
such a measure is necessary to
stop Italy's military campaign
in AbySsinia.
Britain's new and aggressive
foreign minister, Sir S m uel
Hoare, is understood to have told
the cabinet that a strong hand
is needed against Mussolini, but
the government decided first to
inquire whether the other powers
would participate in an economic
blockade.
While there was no confirma-
ton here of a reported new Italo-
Abyssinian frontier incident, the
commission representing the two
countries continued in session at
Scheveningen, Holland.
Their only consideration, how
ever, was the Wal Wal incident,
and they were studying maps pre-
sented by Lieut.. Col. Clifford, of
Britain, indicating the scene of
the clash was far from the Italian
colonial frontier.

VICTORY FOR
PRESIDENT i:
Never Expected Death Sen
tence Clause to Be Enacted
Say Political Observers
By EARL GOODWIN

There are those who maintain
that President Roosevelt has
"put over a fast one" in con-
nection with the House revolt
on the utility holding bill death
sentence" and that his apparent
defeat by a large aggregation Of
Democrats is in reality a victory.
At any rate, President Roose-
welt has a very mysterious smile
on his face these days; and, in
stead of being downcast, he
seems to be walking on air.
Mysterious Hint Seen
He gave his press conference
yesterday an inkling of how he
felt when he quoted the last
lines of 1.-THE Battle of Blen-
HEINZ" in which the old peasant
Kaspar tells Little Peterkin that
the Duke of Marlbourgh's vic
tory over the French was a
famous event-but what it was
all about he couldn't tell.
Those who have watched the
RooSeveltian tactics since the
days he was Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, those who were
with him daily while he was
governor at Albany, see in his
use of that quotation one of
those mysterious hints which
indicate there is something work
ing in the Roosevelt mind.
In fact, when a newspaper re-
porter asked his permission to use
the quotation in a news story,
President Roosevelt gave it gladly
and added that those who looked
closely might see a deep signifi-
canoe in the quotation.
Now here is one version of
what's going on behind the Roose-
welt smile:
Has Definite Idea
He has been building up a wide
attack on the holding company
idea for a long time. He has a
definite idea as to what holding
companies should be eliminated,
and, incidentally, there are two
very well-known holding compa-
MES which by common consent
appear to be slated for destruc-
ton, if not through the weight
of their own water, by some legis-
lative or judicial process.
The utility companies admitted
the desirability of regulation and
even declared they would submit
to q death sentence imposed on
over-watered companies by the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion after proper hearings and
public investigation. In other
words, they chose slow death
rather than a quick one.
That is where President Roose-
welt is said to have put over the
"faSt one" It is claimed that he
never expected to see the death
sentence clause enacted, that he
held out for the most drastic and
radical legislation possible, all the
time willing and anxious to &C.
cept the less drastic bill.
At the same time, the utility

Pair, Waving Extradition, to
Be Rushed to Detroit For
Trial in Trunk Staying

NEW YORK, July 4 G.N.SD.
Today, after a few legal premili-
naries have been dispensed with,
Merton Ward Goodrich, 27-year-
old musician, will be rushed back
to Detroit to stand trial as the
murderer of 11-yearold Lillian
Gallaher.
With him, determined to stand
by him, come what may, will be
his wife, Florence Harding Good
rich.
Goodrich was locked up in a
cell in the basement of police
headquarters last night. Today
Judge Morris Koenig, of the court
of special sessions, will sign the
extradition warrants necessary
for the return of Goodrich and
his wife to Detroit.
Waive Extradition
The pale-faced, thin former in
mate of an Ohio insane asylum
is charged with homicide and his
wife with acting in concert"
Both waived eXtradition.
Prosecutor Duncan McCrea of
Detroit is expected to arrive here
by airplane today and the Good
riches will be turned over to him
and two Detroit detectives who
flew here yesterday.
With a price of $4,000 on his
head and police all over North
America searching for him, Good
rich was arrested and identified
on the merest chance.
Annoying Children
On Tuesday Patrolman Thomas
j. Harris arrested him in Central
Park on a charge of disorderly
conduct in annoying children. He
pleaded guilty in Yorkville court
and Magistrate Adolph Stern re-
manded him for sentence tomor-
row. Simply as a matter of police
routine his fingerprints were
checked at police headquarters
and it was found he was the long
missing Goodrich. He was imme-
diately rearrested as a fugitive
from justice and held without bail.
His wife was taken into custody
when she walked into YorkVille
court and inquired for him.
Both were grilled and in
short time complete confessions
were obtained from them.
Goodrich declared that at the
time of the Gallaher girls MUIR
der he was a trap drummer in
Detroit orchestra. One of his
duties was the placing of placrads
advertising the orchestra's engage
ments. On the afternoon of Sep
TENDER 80 last, he said, he was
engaged in this work and the Gal
laher girl came along on her way
to school. He spoke to her, he
said, and asked her if she would
go to his apartment and help
him carry some books to the
library. She agreed, but when
they reached the apartment, he
