SHARP REPLY
GIVEN ROME
BY EMPEROR
Halle Selassie Refuses To With
draw Demand That League
Intervene To Avoid War
JUSTIFIES HIS COURSE
League Council Scheduled To
Meet Wednesday To Discuss
Methods To Be Followed

Adds ABABA, Ethiopia, July 30
U.R)-Emperor Halle Selassie 1 to-
day offered new defiance to Fascist
Italy in note in which he refused
to accept responsibility for failure
Of diplomatic negotiations and re-
fused to withdraw from his demand
that the League of Nations council
intervene to avert war.
The note replied to an Italian one
of July %. In the reply the en-
peror said he could not accept
responsibility for failure of Italian
Ethiopian negotiations to liquidate
frontier clashes which were the
immediate cause of the crisis.
Failure was due, he said bluntly,
TO the refusal of Italian arbitrators
either to hear Ethiopia's case or TO
nominate fifth member of the
commission of four, SO that a decid-
ing vote could be cast.
He could not accept, he said, the
Italian argument that Italy's course
was justified under treaty of 1908.
This he characterized as an excuse.
Ethiopia, he said, always had main
tanned that consideration of the
/ full situation was vital to an in
\ vestigation of responsibility for
frontier clashes.
Therefore, the emperor said, he
could not order his negotiators to
withdraw from their position and
he did not propose to intervene.
The league council, he said,
Should decide the issues raised.

BERLIN PAPER
AROUSED OVER
FLAG INSULT

BERLIN, July 90. U.P-German
diplomatic action in the face of an
ti-Nazi incidents in New York is
foreshadowed by a sharp editorial
in the Hamburger Fremdenblatt, to
be published tomorrow.
The newspaper will declare that
so far no satisfaction has been
forthcoming for an insult to the
Nazi flag aboard the liner Bremen
in New York harbor, and for May
or Fiorella LaGuardia'S action in
denying a professional license to a
German resident of New York.
Fremdenblatt expresses extreme
annoyance at the statement OF
Wilbur j. Carr, assistant secretary
of state in Washington, that he
knew of the Bremen incident only
through the press.
"It is a little thick, according to
German conceptions, the news
paper says, "to suggest that the
government has no means of in
formation about events in United
States territory except through the
press under the circumstances,
can the German public be salts
fled by the platonic apology made
informally to the press?
THE Washington government
should obtain official knowledge of
the incident, after which it would
see the way clear for official
atonement for the Communist ac-
ton, which could have been fore
stalled by the New York police"

HEWES SAYS

Charges OF Right OF Way And
Possible Seepage Damages
Not Likely To Be Upheld
POWER FUNDS DISCUSSED
Irrigation District President Is
Assured OF Full Cooperation
By Reclamation Service

Claims of the Yuma Indian res
ervation to damages because of the
All-American canal right of way
are in the hands of the interior de-
partments solicitor, Evan T. Hewes,
irrigation district president stated
this morning. Hewes returned to
the valley yesterday afternoon af-
ter a trip to Washington, D. c., for
conferences with government off,
cials relative to this and other dis
trict matters.
1t is the belief of the reclamation
service, Hewes pointed out, that the
Indians have no claims relative to
the right of way in question, and
that there will be no delay or hind
rance to the canal because of these
claims. The bureau further be-
lieves that the present canal right
of way does not touch the Indian
lands and that no damage can be
caused by the canal to the reserva-
ton property.
The Yuma Indians had taken ex-
ception to the present routing of the
canal and it was claimed that seep-
age from the canal would damage
the present reservation lands. An
early decision is expected from the
interior department solicitor on the
question.
While in Washington Hewes
consulted with officials of the bio
logical survey and that organiza-
ton expressed itself hopeful that
the Salton Sea deal, whereby lands
could be acquired for a wild life
preserve near the sea, would be
worked out satisfactorily.
Hewes consulted with Secretary
Harold Ickes regarding the dis
trict's power funds application. The
secretary is said to have expressed
himself as pleased with the results
to date and assured full coopera-
ton with the district in the matter.
This was concerning the $13,500.000
loan for power development and
distribution from the canal. He
was told that engineers are now
working on the application in
Washington and that there has
been no controversy on the subject.
He conferred with other federal
officials on the matter and was as
sured this cooperation.
On Tuesday of last week, Hewes.
M. j. Dowd, district engineer, Phil
Swing, district representative in
Washington and Richard Emerson.

DR.. Elwood Mead of the reclaim

The decision of the bureau in
that matter has already been an

routed to the north of Calexico and
not through the city as Calexico

Former Local Boy
GiUen Custody OF
Alleged Plotter

LOS ANGELES, July 90. U.p)-
The lonely life William E. Evans,
54, led as a sheepherder on isolat-
ed San Clemente Island probably
gave him the irrational notion to
write extortion letters, Federal
Judge Harry A. Hollger was in
formed today as he released Evans
to the custody of an old friend.
Evans pleaded guilty to writing a
letter to Mrs. Earl O'DonnelI and
George A. zorb, threatening to
expose" them unless they gave
him $4,000. In court he said he
did not know what he intended to
expose"
Judge Hollzer released him to
Professor Kenneth B. Grumbles of
Alhambra high school, after Grum-
bles expressed the opinion that a
Sheepherder's life affected his old
friends mind. The court ordered
Evans to return to court Septem-
ber 3, when the jurist will have re-
ceived a report on his mental con-
dition.
Professor GrumbleS, mentioned
in the above dispatch, is the son
of D. L. Grumbles, pioneer valley
rancher. During his high school
days at Central Union Grumbles
was a star hurdler, later becoming
one of the aces on the Trojan track
team and twice won the IC-4-A low
hurdles championship.
In recent years he has been in
terested in developing San Gle
mente island, in partnership with
Edgar B. House, son of Principal j.
L. House, of Central Union, and in
this way became acquainted with
Evans. Grumbles is now athletic
director at Alhambra high school,.

IMPOSING LIST
OF MEN BACK
LUDLOW BILL
Famed PerSonageS Line Up
Firmly Behind Measure
for Referendum.

By Ffries Special
WASHINGTON, April 24.-An
imposing list of influential men
from the ranks Of labor, education,
the clergy and civic organizations
have given their whole-hearted sup
port to the Ludlow bill to keep the
United States from plunging reck-
lessly into future foreign wars. Rep.
Louis Ludlow ID, Ind, the author,
revealed today.
The supporters include such
prominent Indiana figures as Bishop
Joseph F.. Ritter. Rabbi Norris NJ.
Feuerlicho, DR.. william Lowe Bryan,
Indiana University president, and
DR.. q. Bromley OMAN, De Paw
University president.
The bill provides for an amend
ment which would require a nation
al referendum before the United
States could declare an aggressive
war, and the taking over Of war
properties for use Of the govern
ment in event Of hostilities.
Democratic" Says Bishop
In a letter to Rep Ludlow, Bishop
Ritter writes. The amendment
would be a very effective means Of
preventing future wars and. at the
same time, truly democratic in
spirit. If it had been in force at the
time Of the World War we would
never have entered. I am glad TO
tell you, therefore, that 1 heartily
approve and indOrse the amend
ment and shall do all that I can to
create sentiment in its favor"
One of the foremost leaders OF
Catholicism in America, the Most
Rev. Michael j. Curley, Archbishop
Of Baltimore, wrote to Rep. Ludlow,
1T is my humble opinion that the
people of this country do not want
war, and I doubt if the people Of
any nation want war. After all,
wars are not made by the millions
of the sons of sorTowing mothers
who went down to their graves in
the fratricidal strife of those hor-
rible four years.
