GENEVA, Sept 28.-Support of
great and small powers in the
Italian Ethiopian crisis has inaugu-
rated a new historic era in which
the League of Nations will become
"a new moral, political and even
material force" Edouard Benes of
Czecho-Slovakia, president of the
assembly, said in adjourning it to-
day.
1t was but a tentative adjourn
ment, for the assembly remains
ready to meet at days notice and
all the League machinery is geared
to remain functioning for the dura-
ton of the Italio-Ethiopian crisis,
pointed always toward penalization
CT either nation that is first to at
tack.
Benes' reference to material
force was plain, direct mention of
the Leagues power to penalize an
aggressor.
In his address to the assembly he
emphasized the Importance of the
British governments announcement
that 1T desires to base its entire
policy more than ever on the League
Covenant.

spectacular streak to 81 in a row.
The formal clinching of the
championship by the Cubs wasn't
attended by any exciting circum-

OF much greater Importance was
the fact that the customers. though
they didn't realize it at the time,
were watching the famous gas house

through one of their last per-
formances as st. Louis troupe.
The gas house gang is through. 1t

clothing was pulled up over

however, no evidence of a
struggle in the apartment.
Mr.. Dugan said that the door
bed had been pulled down in the
front room. adjoining the bath
room. and that Mr. Dugan's hat,
dirty as though it had been dropped,
was on the floor beside the daven-
port.
He said that a diamond pendant
was gone and one of two rings she
habitually wore was gone. The
other. a diamOnd-studded wedding
ring. was on her finger.
Her purse. he said. was also on
the floor by the davenport. and any,
thing of value that might have been
in it was gone. DR.. John E. Wyt-
tenbach. deputy coroner, examined
the body at this morning and I'M
officially estimated that Mrs. Du-
gan had been dead between two and
a half and three hours.
Heard Means, Says NeighbOr
Miss Gertrude Moran, whose
apartment is next to. but does not
connect with. the Dugan apartment,
told police that between 1870 and
11:45 last night she went into her
bathroom and heard a woman'S
means in the Dugan bathroom.
She said she attempted to get
some one to investigate, but could
find no one. She re-entered the
bathroom and heard no more
sounds. Other residents in the
building said they heard nothing
unusual.
Mrs. Dugan left her place of en-
ployment. Haag's drug store, 1873 e.
Washington at 10 last night, Wis
tied a nearby Haags store for a mo-
ment, and presumably took a street
car home.
Fractured Skull Possible
Police estimated that the street
car ride would require about IS
minutes. DR.. Wyttenbach. after ex-
aiming bruises on the back of her
head, and on her left temple. said
she might have died of a fractured
skull. There also were bruises on
her left knee
However, police found under some
clothing in her dresser bottle of
so strychnine sulphate tablets, and
a one-fourth pound can of cyanide
of potassium. together with a hypo-
dermic needle The bottle and can
had been opened. Police said they
could find no evidence that she had
taken poison.

the presence of the hypodermic
needle and the poison, saying the
needle had been used in a recent
