Apparently sudden motor trouble
sent the craft plunging downward
like a plummet through the night
to the hills below.
Searchers who found the wreck
age could see where the huge liner
had bounced three or four times as
it struck, strewing wreckage over a
distance of some 400 yards.
Both motors apparently were
torn loose the first time the plane
hit. They lay almost a quarter of
mile from the Wreckage of the
fuselage. The body of the plane was
broken in two in the center.
The bodies we're scattered over
many yards, some of them still in
the shattered cabin of the plane,
others lying at intervals along the
ground. All were badly mangled
and bruised, some SO torn as almost
to defy identification.
The accident was one of the worst
in the history of commercial avia-
ton.
The list of those killed, as released
by company officials here, follows:
III. A. Collision, Cheyenne, pilot.
George Batty, Denver, co-pilot.
Mrs. COfalyn Cathcart, Portland,
Ore, mother of a United Airlines
employe, who was riding on a pass.
Miss Lena Mason, stewardess,
Rock Springs, Wyo.
Helen Warren, another United
Airlines employe.

The girl had read somewhat.
Her home library was not a large
one, but it held standard things
which had been gone through
many times. She could tell stories
like book only better-fairy
stories, book stories and later,
theater stories. She had rhymed
a little as a game with a younger
brother and sister. A friend liv-

away in her memory, a wee bit Of

her desk as peace offering from
her teacher after her favorite
pupil had been detained like the

Selassie Heaps
Bitter Ridicule
on Foes Claims
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE
lCnnvrirht 1878 by limited PresSl

Adds ABABA, Oct. emperor
Halle Selassie in telegram to the
League of Nations contemporary
dismissed Italy's victories in north
ern Ethiopia today as mere clashes
between frontier guards and isolated
attachments.
Ethiopia has not begun to fight,
the emperor indicated in his mes
sage. He said that his men, by order,
did not resist the Italians who
"stormed" Aduwa and he said that
there had been no real clash since
the Italians began their drive
Thursday.
1t was said officially, in this con-
nection, that the Ethiopian army
has not yet entered into action, IN
accordance with its plan to permit
Italy to advance until it had been
established definitely as the agrees
sor and the League of Nations was
left with no legal or moral ground
for evading a declaration of Italy
as outlaw.
"Aduwa fell yesterday without re-
sistance after Adigrat had been oc-
cupied without resistance previously.
Our troops are outside the towns
still" the emperor said.
Real Fight to Come in South
1t was recalled that Ethiopia s
plan not to defend Aduwa had been
announced publicly long before the
Italian arrival.
Indications were that any real
fight would not come until the
Italians had penetrated farther
south.
Significant of this was the an
nouncement today that Dejazmatch
Avaro Kassa, second son of RaS
Kassa, the country's strongest mill
tary figure, had moved 10000
trained men northward from Fiche
toward Gondar, key to Lake Tana
and the Blue Nile.
Ras Kassa himself already is on
the way to take command of all
northern forces, and the emperor
may go northward.
1t is reported that 5000 men of the
crack imperial guard are to be sent
to the eastern front to aid in the
defense of Harar and Jiiiga.

PRESIDENT BANS
ARMS EXPORTS
Warns Travellers Against
Using Ships of Nations
Engaged in War.
By United Press

By UnueG Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Admin-
istration officials today believed
President Roosevelt had put this
government house in order on the
neutrality question, and awaited the
next move from Europe in the Italo-
Ethiopian war crisis.
1t was assumed generally that
this next step would be the imposi-
ton of financial and economic pen
alties against Italy for violation Of
the League of Nations covenant. But
whatever it is, officials here felt,
the United States is in the clear.
In series of neutrality moves
President Roosevelt formally an
nounced that this government con-
siders that a state of war exists be-
tween Italy and Ethiopia; pro-
claimed an embargo on the ship
ment from this country of all arms,
ammunition and implements of war
to either belligerent; admonished
all American nationals to avoid
travelling on the ships of either
belligerent; and informed Americans
that any and all trade they might
seek 20 carry on with either Italy
or Ethiopia must be conducted at
their own risk and without this
government protection.
Trade at Own Risk
Ofhcialdom'S consensus was that
the Presidents action had insulated
the United States against any COM
plications growing out of the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict.
His warning that those who con-
duct any sort of trade or commerce
with either belligerent must do so
without this governments blessing
or protection was expected to put
a damper on American exports of
wheat, cotton, copper, steel and
other commodities to Italy (Ameri-
can trade with Ethiopia is negligi-
ble), which might bring about in
ternational complications
AS matters now stand the League
powers are assured in advance of
an imposition of penalties that the
United States will not insist upon
the right of American vessels to
trade with either belligrent. Any
American vessel which does make
the attempt probably could be
stopped by any warship of the
League powers without mourning
the displeasure of Washington

GENEVA, Oct. t. The
Council of the League of Ma
tions today OVERRIDE an OBJ
lection by Baron Pompeo
Aloisi, Premier Mussolini's
spokesman at Geneva, against
public discussion of the report
of the committee of six de-
claring Italy had illegally re-
sorted to war against Eth
opia.
The council manifested de-
termination to proceed imme-
diately with penalties against
Italy on the basis of the COM
mittee's report.
= The secret session of the Coun-
Gil also decided that Aloisi could, if
he desired, make observations on
the report Of the committee of six
subsequent to the public meeting Of
the Council if he thought the time
was 100 short to do so today.
Following the secret session it was
learned that the president of the
Council will declare at today'S pub
lie session that hostilities began sew
eral days ago and that it has there
fore become impossible for the
Council to delay decision.
A committee of six reported that
Italy had resorted to war in viola
ton of the League covenant. Even
though Italy did not formally de-
clare war, Article XVI, which pro-
vides penalties. would be applicable,
the report said.
Assembly delegates will express
their approval or disapproval of the
imposition of penalties, and all
those who approve will obligate
themselves to penalize Italy.
Ethiopia, it was learned, intends 20
demand that all Italian soldiers be
withdrawn from its soil before there
are any peace negotiations

sorted to war contrary to engage
