TO LEAGUE
Secretary Confers on
Arms Farley Plans
With Davis
Irtsrnationni New, serries

America today stood "free and
unentangled" insofar as any sane
tions commitments to the League
Of Nations were concerned.
The American reply to the
Leagues virtual request for an in
dication as to how far this Gov
ernment might be prepared to 60
in backing action against Italy
was to be delivered today to the
Leagues committee on coordina-
ton by American Minister Hugh
r. Wilson.
League Request Ignored
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull,
in drafting reply, completely
ignored the implied request from
the League for assurance on how
far this Government might be pre-
pared to 60 in backing League
sanctions against Italy.
He said this Government viewed
''with sympathetic interest" the in
dividual or concerted efforts Of
other nations to preserve peace or
ITO localize and shorten the dupa-
ton Of gar" but he refrained
from any promises as to the ex'
tent to which this Government
would 60 in cooperating with such
efforts.
He left the question Of American
cOOueration with the Leagues
peace efforts open and In q state
where this Government main
tanned its position Of complete
freedom Of action in European po-
litical squabbles.
The view still prevailed that It
was up to the league to wait and
see how effective its own sanctions
proved before commencing to
worry about American trade or
interests interfering with the ef.
fectiveneSs Of such sanctions.
Arms Parley Studied
Meanwhile. Secretary Hull
turned his attention to the forth.
coming naval conference. He
planned to confer with Ambassa-
dor Norman H. Davis on the COM
position Of the American delega-
ton.

A blackShirt militia formed
part of the march Of the Twenty

vance commanded by General
BaStico operating from the
Entiscio plateau.
City Has Sullen Air
In Rome, an atmosphere Of al
most sullen determination. hung
over the city during the ami
versary of the famous MuSsolini
march.
All public buildings and most
private houses flew the national
flag, and more civilians than ever
before put on the traditional black
shirts and sported the Fascist
party emblem in their lapels, but
the. air of frantic jubilation and
blaring bands of former years was
markedly absent.
The speech Of Mussolini was
in keeping with Mussolini'S idea
of action, not words" and
epitomized his determination to
60 ahead resolutely in Ethiopia
and to combat with discipline"
the economic sanctions Of the
League Of Nations that are now
regarded as inevitable.
Absence Of Applause
Two parades Of blackshirt mil
fila created little attention in the
downtown section.
A group of Fascist officials in
their black taSseled feZzeS,
marching to decorate q memorial
to their comrades who fell in
the fighting Of 1922, evoked no
applause from promenaders
along the Corso.
The general feeling here seemed
to be this was q holiday that
called for observation in dignified,
Spartan fashion.
It contraSted Strikingly with
Paris on the fourteenth Of July
(Bastile Day., 1918. when, with
the Germans still holding most
of the 10 northern and eastern
French provinces, pailus and de
tachments of their allies paraded
bravely while the people, worried
by nearly four years Of war, bel
lowed their thanks and covered
them with flowers.
Preparing for the campaign
drive towards Makale, preliminary
pushes have been made below the
Aksum-Adigrat sector, with the re-
suit that all the FaraS Mai River
region is now in the control Of
Blackshirt divisions and native
troops.
Native chieftains in this district
surrendered voluntarily, dis
patches said, opening the way to
Makale without the firing Of q
shot.
Further indication that a great
italian multiple drive was inl-
minent was seen in news from
MaSsaua, Eritrea, that Field
Marshal Pietro Badoglio, italian
army chief of staff, and Alessandro
LeSSona, MuSSolini's colonial un-
dersecretary. had embarked on the

OPEN BAR BILL
BECOMESLAW

At 1890 p. m. today President
Roosevelt signed the District
open bar" bill, which permits
local bartenders to stand in the
open to mix drinks.
The bill does away with the
hidden bars" which have been
the objects of much criticism ever
since the liquor law was first en-
acted in the District.
Although it is not mandatory
under the bill to bring the mixing
of drinks out into the open, the
new law permits bartenders to
"do their stuff" under the eyes
of their customers.
President Roosevelt declared he
had not been in favor of the hid
den bars and that when a bar
tender operates in public, there is
assurance that the customers are
getting what they asked for and
that the tax has been paid on
the liquor.

SCHWE|TzER'S
DEATH TRIAL
SPEEDED
Slayer of Dickinson, With 2
Girls, Will Face Court
Today; Claims Beaten

DETROIT, July 3 G.N.S).
William Schweitzer, 26-year-old
whimpering hoodlum and con-
fessed slayer of Howard Carter
Dickinson, today charged that
police had beaten him during a
third-degree which preceded his
confession that he had shot and
killed the prominent New York at
torney for $134.
County Prosecutor Duncan Nc
Crea said:
81 don't believe him."
Meanwhile Mr.. McCrea planned
to bring Schweitzer and two of
his three women associates in
plumber and homicide into court
for arraignment today.
Claims Police Beating
Facing the court with Schweit-
ger will be Loretta and Florence
Jackson, 81 and 24-year-old sisters,
and the lures" which Schweitzer
used to entice Dickinson on a fatal
automobile ride.
Jean Miller, "a, the third party
girl, who confessed she was i'm
plicated in the plot to "roll' Dick.
inson, will be held as a material
witness.
Schweitzer, who once wise
cracked with detectives and flip
PANTY gave them several fantastic
versions of the Staying, now has
become a whimpering, cringing
figure, police said. His attorney,
Ernest Goodman, said SchWeitzer
told him:
"Three detectives beat me
about the arms and chest. They
also pulled hair out Of my head
to make me confess"
Mr.. Goodman claimed that
Schweitzer's arm and chest bore
black and blue marks which he
claimed were inflicted by police.
Charges FOrestalIed
However, Prosecutor McCrea re-
ported that detectives had taken
OCIlWclIIcT W o. ACSClFAAA6 AAOo-
pital after the confession for a
physical examination to forestall
such charges and obtained a
hospital report that the young
killer bore no marks of police
brutality.
Attorneys for Schweitzer and
the Jackson sisters said they had
advised them to stand mute when
arraigned and there was a posi-
bility that the arraignments may
be delayed until Friday in the
hope that the attorneys decide
to plead them guilty.

drew Gustave Citroen, wealthy
automobile manufacturer, known
the world over as the Henry
Ford of France" died today at the
age Of 81.
M. Citroen succumbed to cancer
of the stomach, following an op-
Grafton a month ago at a Paris
clinic.
M. Citroen built up a huge mo-
tor car industry along American
lines, at one time turning out
more than 100000 machines a
year, but his last years were
logged by serious financial woes
that finally took control of the
company out of his hands.
Born in Paris in February,
1878. M. Citroen was educated
at the Lycee Condorcet, and re-
ceived his mechanical training
at the Ecole Polytechnique.
Seeing big opportunities in
American mass production meth,
DDS, Citroen formed his company
before the war, but it was during
and after the great conflict that
he made his greatest progress.
In England, he manufactured
more than $4,000 automobiles an
nually to escape tariff restric-
lions.
With sterilization of the franc,
however, there came a slump, and
the overexpanded Citroen works
encountered financial difficulties
Collapse seemed imminent, but the
Michelin tire firm and other in
terests stepped in on two separate
occasions to tide Citroen over the
crisis.
Late last year, M. Citroen had
more than a billion francs in liza
bilities, with less than 10 per cent
of that sum in assets.
Creditors took over the concern
