TT WAS, in its frightening climax, Just as
Mary Raeburn had pictured it. Here on
the wide boulevard she had seen herself
in her dreams; behind her, rising tier on
tier, the white houses of the City of the Beys.
Beneath her the broad ramp leading to the
harbor; and beyond the breakwater the big
steamer trumpeting hury-up call to the
last of the shore boats racing to her side.
Trumpeting also to Mary Raeburn, the de-

Touching her cheeks was the hot wind
rom the desert far to the southwark, a
nervous. irregular wind, afraid of the city and
the sea, ready at any moment to turn and
scurry back to the great breasts of sand from
which it had thieved its curious warmth. The
wind brought disturbing odors Perfumed rib
bons of air that were drawn slowly before the
quiverng nostrils of the girl.
Now orange blossoms, now saffron, musk,
smoke of burning olive roots cinnamon, and
mould. Massed, they became the odor of a
mighty continent dead on its feet, yet pos
sessing some fierce unclean power that fought
death.
The odors brought to Mary Raeburn a
tingling fear that was not disageeable A fear
that had, curiously, the quality of forced
embrace. A sudden, unforeseen embrace

NEGRO SUSPECT
 HELD BY POLICE

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 29-(UP) Identified by Mrs. Raymond Ryan as the man she found standing at the foot of her bed when she was awakened early today, Walter Cor don, 26, negro, was held incommuni- cado under $25, 1000 bond as the sus- pected "black terror" who has frightened and attacked more than 8 dozen women in the past two months.
 Mrs. Ryan said she was awakened by 8 noise in her bedroom and dis covered Gordon in the room. She screamed for her husband and the intruder fled. A radio cruising car picked up the trail of an automobile seen in that section and Gordon was overtaken and returned to the Ryan home where he was identified.
 Several weeks ago a social worker was attacked and assaulted in her apartment by negro and nearly a score of complaints have been re- ceived by police from women who said they were confronted in lonely sections of the city by a negro who threatened their lives and insulted them.
 A number of the victims were to be brought before Gordon today in the hope of clearing up the com- plaintS.

JOHN BEY FACES
 HIS INDICTMENT

Rockville, Conn, Oct. 29-(UP)- John Bey, Hadley, Mass, ex-convict and accused slayer of Constable John B. De Carli of Ellington, was brought here today from Holland county jail to face special grand jury summoned to consider his in- dictment on 8 charge of first degree murder. If 8 true bill is returned and Bey convicted, he will be the first to be condemned to death in the states new $4.000 electric chair, now being installed at state prison.
 Bey was apprehended after 8 26- day manhunt in Massachusetts. On the night of August 31 he was said to have shot down De Carli in the barn of Walter Gerber where the officer lay in wait to apprehend a milk thief.
 A drink of milk, which led to the shooting, also resulted in the cap ture of the fugitive. It was while he was refreshing himself with a glass of milk at a Haydenville, Mass, farmhouse that Bey was recognized by five youths who summoned state troopers. He was returned here on a fugitive warrant.

to Italy. Britain apparently has at least agreed to consider it.
 However, Britain insists, as she has from the start, that any plan must be approved by the League of Nations and by both parties to the dispute, Italy and Ethiopia.
 There in lies the difficulty. Any, thing acceptable to Mussolini is not likely to be acceptable to Great Britain, and to an even less degree to Ethiopia. Conversely, the min- imum British requirements would not be enough for Mussolini.
 Geneva Still Hopes
 Geneva was not as optimistic as Paris but was fully ready for the full application of penalties which it was hoped might exert enough pressure on Mussolini to end the war soon.
 The news from the war zone con- tinued unexciting. There was some minor skirmishing in the south. The Italians in the north were within striking distance of Makale, their next objective, and apparently can take it almost at any time now with little resistance. The main Ethio- plan stand, if any, will be made south of Makale, where the Italians will be further from their base and more at disadvantage.

DRIVERS SEARCH
 FOR MURDER GUN

Northfield, Mass, Oct. 29.-(UP) A deep water crew today resumed search of the Connecticut river bot tom for the shotgun used in the murder of Dr. Elliott Speer, youth ful headmaster of Mount Hermon school, 13 months ago.
 The hunt for the death gun was spurred by disclosure by a new wit ness that he heard splash in the river a few minutes after the vic- tim was shot in his campus study.
 The witness, whose name and where abouts were guarded by state detectives, said the splash resem- bled that of heavy object thrown from the Northfield-Gill bridge by a passing motorist.

TRIAL OF TORCH
 MURDER STARTS

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 29.-(UP) .-The prosecution opened its case to-day in the torch murder trial of a father and son accused of kill ing freight handler for $12,500 life insurance.
 A jury was completed yesterday in the case of Frank DiStasio; 53, and his 23-year old son Anthony, both of Revere. Sixty-three of 100 veniremen were examined.
 The state contends the father confessed he picked up Daniel M. Crowley, 50, of Boston's west end on Boston Common, motored to Hud- son, murdered him with a crowbar, soaked the victim with gasoline and fired the body. Frank Di- Stasio allegedly planned the crime in the hope the body would be identified as his own, thereby leav- ing the way open for his family to collect the life insurance.

 Leaders Uncertain
 Republican leaders still are un- certain of MT. Hoover's objective, although many are becoming con- vinced that the former president intends to seek vindication for the defeat of 1892 if popular response to his increasingly frequent public utterances warrant another test ot personal popularity. But whether the former president seeks merely to exercise the compelling influence of an elder statesman when the republicans meet in convention next June or desires the nomina-- tion for himself, his tactics at this stage of the political maneuvering would be identical.
 A group of republicans plotted last summer to make MT. Hoover unveil. Through some of his closest former associates of the White House they sought to put the di- rect question:
 Do you intend to seek the 1886 nomination."
 Couldn't UnveiI Him
 That strategy has not revealed MT. Hoover's purposes. Politicians believe that if MT. Hoover were to announce he would not be a can didate next year his influence would diminish and his chances of writing the Hoover philosophy into the 1886 platform would disappear. Therefore, politicians do not now expect the former president will make public statement of his political intentions, preferring rather to discharge responsibilities of titular leader of the party until the 1886 convention selects the man to lead the fight on the New Deal.

FLAG SALUTE IS
 WORRY TO MASS.
Ninth Pupil Is Dismissed
 From School for Re- fuSal to Obey Law

Weymouth, Mass, oct. 29-(UP) "A boy who claims lineal descent from Betsey Ross, maker of the first American flag, has joined the ranks of Massachusetts school chil- dren who refuse to salute the flag.
 Charles Newcomb, IA, was dis missed from his class at Weymouth high school yesterday, thus becom- ing the ninth pupil excluded from schools of this state for failure to comply with the new patriotism law.
 The boy is one of six children of Mrs. Betsy Ross Newcomb. His father died five years ago as an in- direct result of World War wounds.
 Teacher Sent Him Home
 Miss Susan Sheehan, his teacher, sent the boy home after he kept his seat while other students were giv- ing the salute. The boys mother is a member of Jehovah's Witnesses, sect which contends patriotism is contrary to true religion. The other eight children, excluded from Lynn and Saugus schools, also are mem- bers of the sect. My son cannot serve God and Mammon," Mrs. Newcomb said. T have never asked him not to salute it, but will not ask him to salute it. My husband died for that flag. The flag always moved me when I was a child. While I was president of the Amer ican Legion auxiliary, was torn between two forces. wanted to be fair to both. was just beginning to get Gods call. I also would not sa- lute the flag because it is an image and piece of bunting"
 Mother to Meet Officials
 Mrs. Newcomb was to meet school authorities today to discuss the situation. She joined Jehovah's Wit nesses after being given pamphlets teaching that death is merely a prolonged sleep, she said. "This made me feel that my late husband was closer to me-" she explained. Charles told his teacher he could not pay allegiance to anything that does not belong to God"

 League To Penalize

settlement of the Italian Ethiopian war was drafted here today anc Premier Pierre Laval indicated tc the foreign affairs commission of the senate that there was some optimism over the outcome.
 Laval explained the foreign situ- ation at 8 two-hour secret session of the commission. He reiterated that the keynote of the French po- sition still is one of keeping contact with Italy and at the same time of respecting Frances obligations under the league covenant to en- force sanctions if ordered at Gen. eva.
 The plan, which presumably will at least be considered by Britain and perhaps by the league, was un- derstood to have been drafted by French experts in consultation with British.
 The senate commission congrat- ulated Laval for his refusal tc despair "in the face of 8 critical situation and continuing the neces- sary effort to find a peaceful solu- tion of current problems"
 An official communique saic Laval had explained in detail the measures taken to realize Frances double objective, described as fol. lows:
 First, to keep Loyalty France! engagements under the league pact; second, to work to obtain as rapidly as possible pacific solu- tion within the framework of the league"
 Some senators expressed uneasi- ness over the consequences of sanc- tions on French trade, but the communique said Laval had satis- fled their qualms.

 Addis Ababa, Oct. 29.-UP)- Ethiopia's first serious resistance to invading Italian forces will be made south of Makale, it was indicated here today.
 Original plans called for the stand to be made north of the city but the slow concentration of Ethiopian troops forced 8 change, it was said.
 An official explained that "the civ- ilian population of Makale has been evacuated"
 Reliable information as to the dis tance the Italians have penetrated toward the central plateau was not available here due to thep GOT con- municationS facilities.
 The prevailing belief, however, was that the invaders were not more than 50 miles from its northern rim. The Italians were reported to be penetrating slowly and steadily, consolidating their gains as they ad- vanced.
