troubled world, the State Department
today had completed arrangements
for licensing all manufacture, exports
and imports of implements Of war.
The Government. however, had not
vet placed an embargo on shipments
of American arms and munitions to
Italy and Ethiopia. although the de-
cision on which the embargo question
hinges was believed to be near. Many
observers thought it might be made
by tonight or Monday.
President Ready to Act.
The question confronting the State
Department since fighting started in
Ethiopia is whether the hostilities
constitute state Of war" On hear
ing from the State Department that
war is in progress, President Roose-
welt, now cruising in the Pacific,
stands ready to cut of shipments OF
arms to the belligerents.
Such an embargo on munitions for
warning nations was made mandatory
by the neutrality legislation recently
passed by Congress. There was no
word from the State Department as
to when the formal decision would
be forthcoming. The only informa-
ton there was that the department
was proceeding cautiously, awaiting
development of facts from official
sources which would leave no doubt
that war" exists.
The licensing set-up announced by
the department last night is the first
Federal supervision Of arms shipments.
Such licensing was required by the
new neutrality legislation. and has
no direct connection with the Italo-
Ethiopian hostilities. 1t would have
gone into effect regardless Of the
course of that dispute.
Registration Required.
Under the new rules, manufacturers,
importers and exporters of any of the
implements of war recently designated
by President Roosevelt must register
with the State Department before No
vember 90 They must obtain licenses
for each shipment.
Every registrant must pay a $500
fee; list all munitions manufactured
or sold, and keep records of transac-
tons open for inspection. When
munitions are shipped abroad. names
of consignee and purchaser must be
disclosed Articles which would dis
close military secrets" may not be
shipped.
In the midst of State Department
plans for dealing with munitions, q
delegation of youths representing the
National Council of the American
Youth Congress yesterday presented a
petition to r. Walton Moore, Assistant
Secretary of State. calling for an i'm
medite and complete financial and
economic embargo against Italy be-
cause of Italian aggression in Africa.
The petition said the Youth Con-
greSs "at this grave moment reaffirms
the refusal of its membership to sup
port and its determination to oppose
any imperialist war"

ADUWA REPORTED FALLEN.

(Copyright. 1885. by the Associated Press)
Adds ABABA, October 5.-Aduwa,
"City of Vengeance" but without an
Ethiopian soldier in its streets, was
reported today to have fallen to the
italian Army.
It was stated unof1cially that the
italian forces moved in without oppo-
sition to find city populated only
by women, children, and such inflrm
men as had been unable to join En-
peror Halle Selassies armies.
1t was indicated the Ethiopian forces
had fallen back behind the town into
the hills while their brothers in arms
fought desperately to block the east
Jaw Of the Italian pincers, whose west
jaw was at Aduwa. Serious fighting
was reported in the direction Of
Adigrat.
An official government communique
said Adigrat, which the Italians re-
ported yesterday they had captured,
was held by Eethiopian forces, al
though the vanguard of the Italian
column was not much more than one
half hours march away. Adigrat is
only 40 miles from Aduwa.
Italian airplanes were stated Off
cially to have shot down women and
children in the Village of Bethe
Hawariat, close to Adigrat. The nom
combatants, it was said, were running
to shelter when the flyers opened up
on them.
Planes Swarm Over Area.
Italian airplanes were swarming all
over the Adigrat area.
A government communique read:
THE Italians penetrated the towns
Of Wayeta and Enguela near Adigrat,
but have not yet reached Adigrat.

ROME, Sept. 30.-Jimmy Don
ohue, cousin of Countess Barbara
Haughwitz-R -Reventlow, American
heiress, was escorted across the
French frontier today by Italian
police for insulting Italian
pride"
Authorities charged he leaned
recently from a window of the
Grand Hotel in Rome and
shouted "Vive Ethiopia" accord
ing to official information gwen
International News Service.
It was learned young Donohue,
who had been staying here with
Countess Barbara and her nus
band, was hurriedly summoned to
police headquarters yesterday aft
ernoon.
Rushed to Train
After prolonged questioning he
was rushed to a train last night
for Vintimiglia, and barely had
time to purchase a sleeper ticket.
He was accompanied to the sta
ton by the assistant manager CT
the hotel and two plain-clothes
men who entrained with him.
Count Haugwitz and the coun.
tess were said to be greatly peeved
at Jimmy regarding the incident.
and it was reported Barbara told
a friend:
"It served him right"
Neither she nor her husband
accompanied Donohue to the
station.
There were also uncomfortable
reports that young Donohue had
a pair of exceptionally black eyes.
The incident in the hotel which
aroused the ire Of Italian Off
cials occurred last week.
According to the most reliable
versions, Count Haugwitz and
young Donohue were leaning from
a hotel window when they saw a
group of italian FasciSts pass in
the street below. In what was
meant as a joke, Donohue was
then said to have shouted:
''Vive EthiOpia!"
The FascistS rushed the hotel.
but were restrained by police. For
a time, it appeared the incident
had blown over in view Of Dono-
hue's protests that he was merely
Joking, but yesterday the police
stepped in and Donohue was ex-
PEELED.

CHICAGO, Sept. 80 G.N.S0.
A bank. policeman and four other
persons were wounded today in a
typical wild west gun battle after
an attempted robbery of the
University State Bank by a gang
believed to have been led by Alvin
Karpis, hunted kidnaper and
public enemy No. /.
The murderous audacity Of the
seven gunner, who opened fire
with three machine guns on
police squads while escaping, con
vinced authorities that the raid
was staged by a Well-organized,
daring band Of robbers.
Z Karpis Believed Leader
A description given by one OF
the bank employees Of the leader,
5 feet 8 inches tall, 140 pounds,
about 35, with a scar over the
right eye fits generally with the
description of Karpis.
At the same time police specu-
lated whether the attempted rob-
berry represented the blow they
have expected from Henry j.

bank robber and slayer. who es-
capped from Joliet >penitentiary
last summer.
Authorities also speculated on
the possibility that Fernekes may
have joined up with KarpiS in
the organization of a new mob
to replace the smashed Dillinger
ring.

q bullet.
Later, during the pursuit of the
men by Sergt. Maurice Flynn,

shot in the right leg.
Gunmen Invade Bank
The opening OF the drama of
gunfire occurred when two auto
mobiles carrying seven men, ara
bristling with m chine guns,
stopped on a street just south of
the bank, near the University of
Chicago campus.
Four men took posts as guards
and look-outs outside as three
men, two carrying machine guns,
dashed into the bank behind the
leader, a man wearing leather
Jacket and dark glasses. Police
recalled that Fernekes always wore
a leather jacket and dark glasses
on his bank raids and that he wore
dark glasses when he calmly
walked out of prison a month ago.

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
EN- ROUTE TO SAN DIEGO
WITH PRESIDENT ROOSE-
WELT, Sept. 80 G.N.SO.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has brought to
the people of the West a prom
ise of continued benefits for agri-
culture and a promise Of steadily
reduced governmental expendi-
lures.
Around those two propositions
will be built in large measure
the Democratic national platform
for 1886, when his Administra-
ton faces the test at the polls.
Popularity Proved in West
A score of times on his journey
from washington he has CON
graduated" rear platform audi
enceS because of improved condi-
tions, and the answering ap-
plause has been convincing evil
dence that between the ALE
ghensieS and the Rockies eco
nomic conditions have improved
materially. There is fresh paint
on the barns, and the roads that
have paralleled his train have
been filled with shiny, new au-
tomobiles that were not visible
when last he crossed the CONT
nent.
However unpopular the AAA
may be in the East which is
paying the processing taxes, and
whatever the AAA may or may
not have had to do with improv-
ing conditions, there is no ques-
tion of the AAA's popularity in
the nations bread basket. It
has put millions of dollars into
Western pockets-and they like
the jingle.
Continuance Is Pledged
And he's pledged his Admins
tration to its continuance. He
did that on Saturday in Nebraska,
in a broadcast throughout the
farming states.
Today, he promised that these
benefits would be accompanied by
steadily reduced Federal expendi-
lures for relief and that there
would be no need for additional
taxes beyond the schedules now
in effect.
But he coupled this latter prom
1se with a reservation to the ef-

feet that If the Supreme Court
knocks out the AAA, which would
also knock out the processing
taxes, then some additional taxa
ton may be necessary to carry
out existing contracts.
Budget Figures Cited
In his summation of the budget
figures, past, present, and future
made public on his train as it
rolled through Utah. Mr.. Roose
velt forecast steadily increasing
revenue and steadily decreasing
expenditure. He said:
"The 1887 budget is now be-
ing prepared with a view to
sharply decreasing the spread
between income and OutgO. Thus
it is clear to me that the Fed
eral government under prOviS-
ions of present tax schedules
will not need new taxes nor in
creased rates in existing taxes
to meet the expense Of its
necessary annual operations
and to retire its public debt"
But, he warned, the estimate Of
receipts contemplate continued
collection of the processing taxes"
adding:
"If the attack which has been
made on this act (the AAA) is
sustained, we will have to face
the problem of financing exist

SETTLE DEFENDS
GRAvELLY POINT
Planning Commission Sec.
retary Answers Opponents
of Airport Site.

Vigorous defense of the Graveily
Point airport site for Washington was
made yesterday by Thomas s. Settle,
secretary of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, in letter
to members of the commission. Settle
took sharp issue with the Park and
Fairgrounds Subcommittee Of the
House District Committee in its find
ings against Gravelly Point.
It was learned at the same time the
full House District Committee proba-
bly will consider the subcommittee
report against Gravelly Point, and its
recommendation that commission
be appointed to select another site,
at the regular committee meeting
Wednesday morning.
In his letter. Settle said: 1T Is dif-
ficuit to see how the committee, with
the evidence before 1t, could have
reached the conclusions set forth In
its report" The findings of the sub
committee, Settle said, appear to be
Numerically opposed to the grave
preponderance of testimony given"
Settle cited specific arguments of
the subcommittee against Gravelly
Point and parallel testimony submitted
during the hearings in direct con-
tradiction of the arguments. He said
the committees argument against
Gravelly Point, on account of the time
required for its development, was re-
futed by testimony of Maj. Brehon
B. Somervell. assistant to the chief
of Army engineers, and Maj. Robert
W. Crawford, local Army engineer.
Arguments that the amount of
money needed is undetermined are
met by definite estimates of $2,3O0,0 900
to 81 500, 900 for a 266-acre unit, Set
tie said. Arguments that made land
would prove unsatisfactory are
countered by much testimony, Settle
said. He also cited testimony in
refutation of the subcommittee argu-
ment that close proximity of Gravelly
Point to Boiling Field presents an in
surmountable obstacle. He submitted
a long list of arguments in favor OF
Gravelly Point by more than score
of witnesses.
Settle closed by pointing out that
at its last meeting the Park ano
Planning Commission reiterated its
stand in favor of Gravelly Point.
