LONDON, Oct. 10 UP A fierce
battle near Gorahai in the north
Ethiopian war zone, in which ad-
Vancing Italian troops, after being
halted by severe Ethiopian machine
gun fire, were forced to use artillery
to break down the enemy defenses,
was reported today from the Fri
trean front.
According to an exchange tele-
graph dispatch from its correspon-
dent with the Italian army in Fri
trea, not even the artillery could
completely silence the Ethiopian
gunners, who were making their
stand in trenches.
Finally charge of italian infan-
try routed the defending forces, ac-
cording to the dispatch, which said
Ethiopian casualties were heavy.
Meantime it was feared that Ded-

HIGH TRIBUNAL
HAUP PTMANN' 8
LAST CHANCE

TRENTON, N. j., Oct 10. tU.P)-At-
torneys for Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann began a fight along new and
apparently hopeless lines today to
save him from the chair.
G.. Lloyd Fisher, chief counsel for
the German carpenter convicted. of
kidnapping and numbering the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Lind
bergh, announced he would carry an
appeal denied yesterday by the state
court of errors and appeals, to the
United States supreme court.
"Hauptmann was not guilty of
murder and We We just begun to
fight to prove it, he said. Il told
Hauptmann so and he bore the de-
cision of the court Of errors and ap-
peals like man"
The errors and appeals court, the
states bench of final resort, dis
PEELED almost the last justifiable
hope of reprieve Hauptmann had.
Thirteen justices eligible to vote on
his appeal, presented last June, were
unanimous in declaring his accusa-
tions of an unfair trial baseless.
They ruled, rather, that evidence
presented during his trial made
conclusion of guilt unacceptable, the
state proved, as "a moral certainty,
beyond a reasonable doubt" the
courts 45-page opinion said, that
he collected the ransom money and
was therefore the kidnaper.'
The decision left Hauptmann only
two possible avenues of escape from
the death to which Supreme Court
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, who
presided at his trial, will sentence
him anew in the next two weeks
He first will appeal to the United
States supreme court. probably on
the general grounds that he was de-
prived of life and liberty, without
due process Of law" His appeal to
to the state court was based partial
ly on contention that presence in
the court room at Flemington of
Colonel Lindbergh, and the popular
hue for blood Of the kidnaper was an
unfair influence on the jury.

BITTER BATTLE
OVERPOL|C|ES
Rival Building Ira d es Groups
Unable To Agree Upon Course
To Follow
BY ii. o. THOMPSON
limited Press Staff Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 10
A blazing battle over internal poll
cies of the American Federation OF
Labor went to the convention floor
today after a midnight hotel-room
wrangle failed to bring a peaceful
adjustment.
The dispute, subject of three days
of intensive efforts at conclliatlon,
was between the rival building trades
factions. 1t was the first of the
many controversial issues to be
brought before the federation's 55th
annual convention.
The attempts to bring peace ended
with both sides unwilling to give in
and ready to renew the battle before
the full convention.
The deadlock was setback for
President William Green, who had
hoped to bring the two groups to-
gether.
Green's mediation agent, George
Harrison of the railway mail clerks,
worked throughout the evening and
on past midnight on a proposal for
presentation of both factions on a
four-man board which would rule
the building trades department.
Such a solution would have been
defeat for the group headed by M.
]. McDonough, which is contesting
the seating of John w. Williams,
recognized by the federation as the
head of its building trades depart
ment.
McDonough realized tn at the
board of four, if deadlocked, would
have to resort to the federation's eX-
ecutive council and that the council
consistently has voted with the Will
liamS faction.
The struggle was of intense inter-
est to labor leaders because of the
possibility that McDonough might
withdraw his unions from the fed
Grafton and begin a separate labor
movement in the construction indus
try.

GENEVA, Oct. 10.-Fifty-two ma
tions condemned Italy today as
violator of the League of Nations
covenant because of its undeclared
war on Ethiopia.
BY this action in historic meet
ing of the league assembly, a verita-
BILE congress of nations, league men,
bers bound themselves automatical-
ly to apply economic and financial
penalties against Fascist Italy.
Any nation which joined in Italy's
condemnation is entitled legally, If
it desires, to declare formal war
against Italy as a world outlaw. ...-....
But three nations-Italy, herself,
Austria and Hungary-of the 55 ma
tions represented-declared them
selves dissociated from the assembly
action.
1t was to be the first test of the
dreaded article XVI of the league
covenant, the penal article which
was so strong that the United States
refused to join the league that
Woodrow Wilson inspired.
The way was cleared for immed-
late penalties to be decided upon by
cluding all members of the council
except Italy-and by all of Italy's
neighbor nations but Austria and
Albania.
The penalties, progressive in char
acter, are expected to be in actual
force within a few days.
Italian Delegate Talks
A meeting destined to make his
tory, the first mass effort in the
world to impose the power of peoples
on war maker, was held in the
huge hall of the Geneva Cantonal
council 81
Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Italy's chief
delegate, opened the meeting with
final stand in Italy's behalf. For
weeks he had fought defiantly
against league opposition to Italy's
policies.
He charged that the league had
been unfair, that it had used two
weights and two scales" in it's work.
that it had acted against Italy where
it did not act against Japan in the
Manchurian crisis, that it did not
even consider Italy's complaints
against Ethiopia.
why not Japan?" he asked why
not Bolivia and Paraguay in the
Gran Chaco war? Why Italy?"
There was not single hand clap
when he finished .-
He folded his manuscript care
fully and descended the stairs
from the tribune to his seat. 1t is
customary for delegates to congrat-
ulate another who has made an or
alton. None congratulated Aloisi.
1t was Italy against So nations.

COLLINS BACK
FROM MMEET|NC

c.. B. Collins, county Superintend-
ent of schools who was honored at
the recent convention of county
city and district superintendent OF
the state, by being made president
of the California superintendentS'
association, has returned to the val
ley. The convention was held in
Coronado.
He reports the convention one OF
the most inspiring and constructive
in some time, and of course, is ma
turally pleased with the honor done
him.
Emphasis during the program was
continually laid on the need for in
terpreting to the people what the
public schools are doing. Many tax
payers have no direct contact with
the schools and means should be de-
viSed to acquaint them with the
work being done, its aims and pur-
poses.
Another thing accomplished by
the convention was passage of res
olution banning all state contests in
the schools, avoiding exploitation of
the children, and the undue publici-
ty resulting. This, in Superintend-
ent Collins opinion. should apply
locally as we'll as in the state.
Condemnation of the insidious ac-
tivity which has resulted in certain
schools being taken over by private
schools was made. This situation
does not exist locally.
Further emphasis was made on
the fact that the schools must keep
step with changing conditions in the
world.

causes of fire, discarded cigarette

Problems of citriculture were dis
Riverside Experiment station at
which Frank G.. Beyschlag, farm ad-
visor, was present.
Considerable emphasis was laid on
the result of fertilizer tests. While
the results may not be applicable TO
each district they nevertheless are
of interest. The plots have shown
considerable improvement but it
was noted that the one fertilized
only by applications of Imperial
Valley barnyard manure was not

where some commercial fertilizer
was used also.
Root stock trial results also were
emphasized. Duplicate trials exist
in various parts of the state, that
for grapefruit being at the Emil
Steiner ranch at Brawley. Results
indicate that sweet oranges make a
good root stock for grapefruit as do
some varieties of sour oranges.
Considerable discussion was fea-
tured on plant pathology, few of the
plant diseases being found in the
valley.
1t was pointed out that a tree
dwarfed by poor root stock can not
be recovered by marching or re-
building. Furthermore, it was stat
