attorney for the Houston Press, ask
ed for n severance OF his case from

Frank Liddell, acting as chief
counsel for the Chronicle and Post.
agreed TO the severance and II vas
granted by Judge MunSon.
The cases will be tried together
Go save time but there will be sep
arate records OF the cases.
Croker and Lidder then asked
the court for permission TO intro
duce some demurrers and excep-
tons TO the case.
Judge Munson already had read
the demurrerS and overruled them
promptly.
Liddeil then arose and presented
his answer.
Briefly the answer contended:
That the decree OF contempt was
insufficient 10 constitute any basis
for contempt proceedings.
That Il appears on the face Of

had prepared the formula. by Ba-
ron Pompeo AloiSi Of Italy, another
who had taken part in its pre-
paration.
Despite the fact that Mussolini
had baked at accepting the sug-
gestions for q peaceful solution Of
the conflict with Ethiopia in their
entirety, French delegates said they
were optimistic, believing the out
standing points would be cleared up
rapidly.
Laval said the League OF Nations
council definitely would meet II the
complete accord Of all parties. in
GLIDING the Ethiopians. is reached.
the session will be public to adopt
a formal resolution. If no agree
ment is achieved, a private session
is to be held TO put the council in
touch with the situation.
Objects to P~hraseoIogy
French and Italian experts con-
ferred Immediately after the con-
fernce between Laval and AloiSi in
an effort TO agree on the phrase
ology of the text Of the formula.
Some of Mussolini's objections had
to do with the wording and pune
tuation Of the text.
More serious, however. was the
report that MuSSolini still was OPP
posed to fixing a definite date for
the council to discuss the Italo-
Ethiopian dispute II political nego-
tia Ions among Great Britain,
France, and Italy. as provided in
the formula, failed TO solve the prob
lem.
Laval indicated a complete accord
had been reached concerning the
method for reSuming the arbitra-
ton Of the frontier clashes which
brought the present crisis TO its
head.
1t was reliably learned that the
Ethiopian delegation, however is
dissatisfied with the formula in its
present shape.
The possibility was seen that the
Philippians would raise objections
either through the delegates OF in
a private session Of the council.
Laval announced he was con-
ferring with Anthony Eden, British
minister for League of Nations af-
fairs and the third Trainer of the
formula, and subsequently hoped to
confer with Tecle H~awariate, the
Ethiopian representative.
Duce Gets Own Way
Although a British spokesman as
serted England made no "substan-
tial" concession from its previous
firm stand for decisive action In
the impasSe, MuSSolini apparently
succeeded in having his way on
most OF the controversial points.
League observers said the new
resolution yielded to Italy its two
chief demands:
/. Hands off by the league from
examining the entire controversy.
2. Revival Of the Cancellation COM
miSsion-limited strictly TO deter
mining the responsibility for from
tier incidents without discussion OF
territorial sovereignty.
A renewal Of the Cancellation eff
forts was considered generally fore
doomed to failure.
A ray Of hope that war between
Italy and Ethiopia may be averted
was seen, however, In a clause Of the
accord calling for England. France
and Italy to pursue diplomatic ne-
gotiations on the basis Of their 1905
treaty guaranteeing independence
to the East African empire.
