Tension in Great Britain

LONDON, Sept. 4 G.N.S.-Dra-
matte announcement at Washing

it had been granted to to the
Standard Vacuum Oil Company
today brought a feeling of intense
relief to diplomatic circles here,
over-burdened by the Italo-Ethi-

Ethiopia's next move in view Of
the cancellation was eagerly
awaited in official circles, where
it was felt the news from Wash

Emperor Halle Selassie, who ap-

Girl, 8, Finds
Pigeon i'm
Coal Bin

Eight-year-old Mary Neal per-
formed one yesterday which
would do proud to Mandrake, the
Magician, of comic-section fame.
Wandering to the basement of
her home, 1925 Randolph st. N. E.,
Mary wandered over to the coal
bin and extracted, not a piece of
coal, but a carrier pigeon.
Somehow or other, the bird
had gained entrance to the base
ment and was nesting on the Neal
coal supply. The bands on its
legs had the numbers 1905

bird as a pet until the owner puts

SHOOTS
D. {. MAN IN
H0LDUP
R o b b e r
Hunted; Slayer Also
Sought Here

WaShlngton'S newest wrinkle in
crime-the black-face holdup man
struck twice early today and
displayed a viciousness that far
surpassed the performances Of
his professional rivals.
He shot a man through both
hands as the unsuSpecting patron
walked into a restaurant, both
hands engaged in filling a pipe.
The robber fired the shot as
he fled. According to witnesses,
the man was armed with two
guns and his colored confederate,
waiting in the getaway" car out
side, also carried two pistols.
Shot at Bartender
This same holdup man, his
white flesh showing through the
burned-cork makeup, had a few
minutes before, Tor no apparent
reason, fired two shots at a bar
tender in a Southeast restaurant.
The bartender had his hands in
the air and was offering no re-
SiStance.
These two robberies and the
holdup of a Southwest liquor
store are charged against this
man. The liquor store holdup
was accomplished without injury
to anyone.
Some weeks ago, police records
show, another white man staged
three holdups, and he too, worked
in black-face." When he was
working the weather was ex-
tremely hot and perspiration
rolled from his face, taking with
it much of the cork he believed
would conceal his identity. This
man was not vicious and carried
out his holdups with a minimum
of force.
There is considerable difference
in the physical characteristics of
the two men. Apparently the
originator of the idea has left
Washington, police said, the rob-
ber of today taking up his dis
guise idea.
Slayer Hunted
HON eide squad detectives
today were searching for colored
gangsters who early today threw
the body of an unidentified COL
ored man from an automobile
and left it lying in the street in
the 1900 block of Forty-second
st. N. w.
The man had been shot near
the heart and had died instantly.
The body was found by passer-
by. who called Eighth Precinct
police. He apparently had been
dead for several hours and phySi-
clans said rigor mortis had set
in. The body was sent to the
morgue.
There were no papers or other
effects by which identification
could be established, police said.
The only thing police found
through which they hope to learn
the mans identity was laundry
markings in the sleeve of his coat.
A check is being made with all
laundries and dry cleaning estab.

$500 In Purse Stolen
A sneak thief today made off
with a pocketbook belonging to
Mrs. Carrie M. Nichols which con-
tanned 5000 in cash and an in
dorsed check for $158.83. The
pocketbook was taken from a
dresser drawer in Mrs. Nichols

However, II was reported Bel
would decline the position, II offered
him. IL the contract failed TO call
for more than n year. II Is
known that Bell believes himself TO

Bell has been seriously consider
ing the head coach position at
