 Hastened Decision of Committee

 Mutual Aid employees have been released in considerable numbers during the past week. The older persons cared for by the funds have been referred directly to the depart ment of public welfare. Others have been released because they ar non- citizens or because members of the family have obtained employment. The weekly report submitted Mon- day will probably contain fewer than 500 cases, the lowest at any time during the history of the agency.
 William M. Harris, executive di- rector of the fund, could not be reached to comment on the report today. Mir. Harris is attending the national convention of the Aneri- can Prison association at Atlanta Georgia.

charge, and $1,oo0 on the previous charge.
 On Oct. 5, 1884, federal agents and state police raided 8 still in the Greystone section. One man, at least, escaped, despite 8 hail of bullets. The still was of $50 gallon capacity. Confiscated in the raid was large quantity of alcohol, as well as 1000 gallons ofs mash. The still was located on an inaccessible back road.
 Had Enough Evidence
 Shortly after the raid, Commis- sioner Krasow revealed to-day, he was given enough evidence to en- able him to issue 8 warrant charg- ing Paolino with being involved in the ownership of the still. The war; rant was given to U. s. marshal for service, but he. was unable to locate the suspect, and Paolino was out of sight until he was picked up yesterday.
 Capt. Dan Carson and Patrolman Patrick Moylan of the vice squad, accompanied by Inspector Gus Lynch of the alcohol tax unit, yes- terday halted the car in which Pao- lino and Margolis were riding on East Main street, confiscated the alleged alcohol and arrested the two men on a charge of transporting alcohol on which no federal tax had been paid.
 Revelation that Paolino is the suspect sought since last October to-day started federal agents on 8 renewed investigation into the Greystone raid of last year.

 menacing rivalry of Al Capone. In New York he built himself an un- derworld domain that has resisted police and rival gang assaults and quietly made him as powerful as Capone once was.
 Allied with Torrio, police infor- mants said, are six notorious rac- keteers. Detectives and stool pig cons in New York, Newark and other big cities of the east bent ev- cry effort to find them without suc- cess. They are Charles Gucky) Luciana, Charles (Buck) Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Louis (Lefty) Buck house, Jacob (Gurrah) Schapiro and Abe Gongy) Zwillman.
 Only Two Leads
 Beyond that list investigators had only two promising leads to identi- ties and motives of men who killed Flegenheimer and his followers in Newark, shot and critically wound- ed another Flegenheimer gangster and bookmaker an hour later in New York, and earlier rubbed out Louis (Pretty) Amberg, and his brother, Joe, leader of another rival gang.
 Most important of the two leads. in police eyes, was Mrs. Frances Flegenheimer, 21-year-old mother of two children who revealed yes- terday she never married Flegen- hie.ner but was his common law wife "by a legal contract. A New ark court held her yesterday in $1O,000 bail as material witness.
 Hour Before Staying
 Mrs. Flegenheiner visited her hus- band in the Newark bar where he was killed approximately an hour before his slayers stepped to the door and loosed a hail of machine gun bullets.
 The pretty former cabaret hostess replied to continuous questioning only with tart wise cracks.
 The second principal clue was room in a New York midtown hotel that Amberg apparently had used for two years as Q business office and hideaway. Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine said records found there were "of greatest im- portance." It was indicated that lists of names furnished indisput- able evidence that his death in @ flaming automobile on Q Brooklyn street last week was connected with the murders of Flegenheimer and his pals.
 Federal agents took charge of more than ei0O0 in cash4n the room to determine whether 1t had been part of ransom paid in recent kid- napings.

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, Oct. 26- (UP)-The state department is expected to send a formal note to the League of Ma tions today setting forth the chrono- logical record of this governments action in the Italo-Ethiopian crisis and in the interest of word peace generally.
 This will answer an invitation from the league for an expression of opinion regarding the peace moves of league powers. These include the application of financial and eco- homie sanctions against Italy and removal of the arms embargo B. gainst Ethiopia.
 It appeared doubtful whether this government would voice an outright opinion. President Roosevelt, secre- tary of State Cordell Hull and other administration officials have con- ferred frequently since MT. Roose- velt's return to the capital Thurs day, and 1t was understood the final draft of the note was completed yesterday and discussed at the presidents cabinet meeting.
 Will Cable Note.
 The note will be cabled to Hugh Wilson, American minister to Switz- erland, for delivery to appropriate league officials. The leagues invita- ton was handed to Wilson, and he cabled it to Washington.
 Thus far, this government is ahead of the league in anti-War ma neuvers. MT. Roosevelt, two weeks ago, proclaimed an embargo on the shipment of arms, ammunition and implements of war to Italy and Ethiopia. He warned American citi- Zens not to travel on belligerent ships and informed domestic busi- ness interests that trade of any na- ture with combatants, would be at their own risk.
 According to information coming out of MT. Roosevelt's conferences he is planning no extension for the list of commodities and articles on the embargo list. Niether is he planning additional presseure on American business to forego trade with Italy. Those questions will be decided when developments raise the issues on which they are predicated the president said at his press con- ference yesterday.
 Not Satisfactory
 London, Oct. 26-CUP)-Oreat Britain has received @ series of proposals for solution of the Ital- an-Ethiopian crisis, based on con- versations in Paris, 1t was said ofii- cially today.
 It was believed that the propos- als were not acceptable either to Great Britain or France.
 The proposals were communica- ted to London by Premier Pierre Laval of France, 1t was disclosed. They were based on conversations between Laval and Vittorio Cerru- ti, Italian ambassador at Paris.
 Ofiicial admission of the prOpos- als, called in Paris . "summary" of of . proper settlement, came after reports that negotiations had been brought within the framework of the league Of nations for the first time even though they were not ace ceptablc in present form.

 Huge Ethiopian Army

Huge Ethiopian Army
 Reports from Addis Ababa said that while nearly 1000, 900 men have been mobilized on the northern front, Ras Nassibu still has more than 250,000 of the best armed sol- diers of the country. It was not able that most of the machine guns and ammunition that has gone into Ethiopia through British Somali- land has been sent south.
 Military experts familiar with Ethiopian strategy give real cred ence to the report, pointing to the fact that 1t was similar maneuver that led 15,000 Italians into a mas- sacre at Aduwa in 1896.

 Addis Ababa, Oct. 26. (UP)- Count Luigi Vinci-Gigliucci, Italian minister, hero of the bloodless siege of the Italian legation compound, left for Djibouti today with Lieut.. Col. Calderini, his military attache, and his butler.
 The minister and his aides were put secretly aboard shuttered pas senger car on a side track at the railway station, closely guarded by customs men.
 At Mopjjo, 30 miles down the line, or near by Station, Vinci- -Gigliuc- ci expecteds to find awaiting him two consular agents who have been trekking for weeks through inner Ethiopia from Magalo, 225 miles southeast of the capital.

 ing to ascertain if he were well, do his sewing, care for his mail, be in his company when he required and in general, add to his comfort in every way as dutiful foster children.
 The complaint says that at va rious times the doctor promised the plaintiffs to turn over to them all of his estate in consideration of the services they were rendering. He turned over g key to his safety deposit box on Sept. 25, 1884 when he was laid up with a fractured leg, sustained in a fall, says the complaint. He informed them the contents of the box were to be shared by the plaintiffs, the com- plaint adds.
 He died shortly afterward, at the age of 30 years. The plaintiffs charge they were denied access to the safety deposit box when they later went to claim it. The plaintiffs presented a claim to the adminis- trator and the claim was disallowed, says the complaint.

ernment is insistent that any settle ment must be reached within the framework of the league covenant and must be satisfactory to the League and to Ethiopia.
 Real Practical Hope
 It does mean that during the five days before the league penalties committee meets at Geneva Thurs day there seems practical hope at last that there may be found a means of three-power negotiations which will result in Q reference of the dispute to the league council which is technically in permanent session awaiting just such a devel- opment.
 Many well informed quarters in London are initiating that in view of the radically improved situation between Italy and Great Britain some leading stateSmen-Anthony Eden, minister for league affairs, and Premier Pierre Laval of France are mentioned-might propose the postponement of application Of economic penalties.
 This, it is urged, would permit the prevailing tentative peace sug- gestions to proceed in friendly at mosphere which would make pos- sible an eventual Italian offer more acceptable to the league.
 Could Be Deferred
 It would be possible to defer the application of further league pen alties without weakening the leagues prestige at all. When the penalties committee meets Thurs day, 1t will decide the date when an economic boycott of Italy and the stoppage of shipment of select ed key products to Italy takes ef- feet. The arms and financial and credit boycotts already are in effect and are being applied by more and more countries. The penalties com- mittee might decide to wait a few days before it announced a date for the economic boycott or 1t might name 8 date far enough ahead to give the diplomats a chance.
 The country has been waiting for Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin to make Q real statement on the pres ent crisis, and it was gratified last night.
 Baldwin Advised Care
 Baldwin in a frank speech to the nation, opening the campaign for the parliamentary election Nov. IA, discussed the implications of the governments present course, its dangers, and it's desirability. He talked also of league penalties, dis armament and other matters. Par ticularly, he said:
 ''If penalties of the severest kind are imposed (by the league. as in the case of Italy) they will lead in- evitably to c blockade, and a block ade brings in the question of coun- tries outside the league; and that ig what had in mind when said I never would sanction this country undertaking blockade unless 1 was beforehand of the attitude of the United States"
 Baidwin's idea is of the difficult ties which would arise with neutral nations. There was a grave British American dispute over blockade of the central powers before the United States entered the word war.
