F, Ellis supported the stand of
Commissioner Lynch. The appeal
to the supreme court then fol-
lowed.
wallace was injured March 20,
1892, when he fell while pushing
hischair back from his work
bench. The agreement by stipu-
lation was signed by all parties on
March IA, 1893, and it was APP
proved by Commissioner Williams.
After her husbands death, Mrs.
Wallace filed claim with the
commissioner, basing 1t upon an
alleged mistake of fact and be-
cause of q changed condition of
fact. 1t was her claim, that the
back condition of her husband was
not fully known at the time the
stipulation was entered into and
that his death was due to the i'm
juries suffered originally.
Agreement Was Fair
The supreme court says, IA care
full consideration of the evidence
shows nothing to change the con-
clusion Of the commissioner that
when the agreement was made
there was a definite difference of
opinion as to the cause of the
claimants disability the APP
prevail of the commissioner was
definitely based upon the conclu-
sion that the agreement was fair

Holding, as we must, that this
was contract upon an adequate
and valuable consideration, re-
leasing those defendants from any
further obligation to her by rea-
son of the injury which Wallace
had. sustained from his fall, it fol-
lows that the ruling of the COM
missioner and the sustaining ac-
ton of the trial court, was correct.
There is no error upon either APP
peal. In this opinion, the other
judges concurred."

HERMIT FOUND
DEAD in BOAT

Boston, July 31-(UP)-"Cap-
tain" Dewalden L. Brown, IS, Bos-
tons houseboat hermit, was found
dead last night, guarded as ever
by his faithful shepherd dog.
For 80 years Captain Brown
lived alone in his houseboat on, the
marshes by dump, resisting all
attempts to Gust him and driving
off with harsh words and savage
dog any would-be visitors, save
one old friend.
His houseboat, the former Erie
Canal boat Josephine" was
washed high on the marsh one
wild night in 1906. His wife died,
his daughters grew up and moved
away, and still he kept to his
lonely home, establishing the rec
ord Of 80 years aboard a boat
without ever going to sea.

Washington, July 81 - Family,
but audibly, the convention bee is
beginning to buzz.
Though the decision as to loca-
ton of the national conventions
will not be made until the national
committees meet in November or
December of this year, and the
conventions themselves are nearly
year away, there is beginning to
be speculation as to what cities
republicans and democrats are 60
ing to choose in which to nominate
The Dark Horse and Franklin d.
Roosevelt respectively.
Political sharks line it up some
thing like this: San Francisco,
while an attractive spot and an
active bidder for the democratic
show, is too far away in times like
these, when money means more to
harassed delegates than it did in
1920.
Atlantic City will be in with its
perpetual bid, but this resort and
the old democratic favorite, Balti-
more, are both subject to the same
objection of distance.
Best guess is that 1t will be a
big city between Cleveland on the
east and Kansas City on the west.
Smaller cities can't quite carry the
load of the 1000 delegates and thou
sands of visitors, as the democrats
found at Houston.

Craze Situation In

If they succeed in reaching
basis for discussion, it is intended
to try to arrange for resumption
of Italian Ethiopian arbitration on
responsibility for frontier clashes
the immediate cause of the dispute
but actually minor element in 1t.
Then the council would decide to
meet again If the disputants have
not reached agreement by August
25. Between the adjournment and
August % one of the most import
ant series of negotiations in post
war European history would be
pointed toward preventing Benito
Mussolini from taking the final
plunge into war.
Failure would mean the possible
end OF the League as an effective
aid toward maintaining peace even
among European nations.
What League Must Do
Either the league council, at its
August meeting, would take a
stand against Italy and cause its
withdrawal from the league, or 1t
would arouse the white hot rage of
small nation members who will
meet here in September for the an
nual league assembly at which all
60 league nations are represented.
Much depended on the 3S-year-old
Eden, minister for league affairs
in the British cabinet. He must APP
ply any pressure to the Italians
which he-and Laval-think safe.

try to mediate between the British
and Italian delegates. Italy's dele
gates were expected to maintain re-
serve as much as possible, to assert
the justice of their cause and Ben
ito Mussolini's ambitions in Africa.
Required of Italy
Reliable British quarters said
that IL q show down were avoided
at the present meeting. and arbi-
tration arranged for, Eden would
insist that Italy give clear un-
equivocal understanding not to at
tack Ethiopia until the council had
had a chance to meet again.
French informants suggested that
Laval would back him up in this
demand, and might even suggest
that Italy slow down, If not halt,

| plies to its East African colonies

The Ethiopian delegates here
can attend only unofficially the
council meeting today, which Max

ed as a private one. Ethiopia
has no council seat.
