Adds Ababh. Ethiopia, July 81,
CNA-Asserting that the Ethiop-
ian people Will offer armed re-
sistance in defense of their politi-
cal independence and territorial
integrity, Emperor Halle Selassie
spiked false rumors Of acceding to
any Of Mussolinis demands for
land concessions or to aprotectOr-
ate over Ethiopia.
"'Under no circumstances will
we accept a railway or other zone
In or through Ethiopia administ-
cred or pOliced by Italy" Selas-
sic emphatically stated, because
history teaches that the creation
of such zones inevitably is fol
lowed by annexation"
Pointing out that Ethiopia has
worked tirelessly for a peaceful
settlement. Selassie warned that
his country would fight to the last
man [ OmalntaLn Its independence.
Eve have no illusions of the
difficulty Of the task confronting
us, but we are confident of Divine
aid and Of the sympathy Of the
civilized world in resisting terri
torial aspirations Of a power
which, seeking to disguise these
as a mission Of civilization, re

Government WOrkmen
Advised By Superin-
tendent to Leave Town

It all happened because two
colored fellows went up to the
farmhouse after a drink of water.
Both were dark fellows, and have
a gold tooth 1t was a very warm
day, and they made several tripf
after water. Nothing was said
about it that day, until II or II
clock that night, when the sher-
if and three deputies came out
to the camp. The 8 heriff claimed
that a colored ma nhad attacked
the white women Of the farm
house. The description Of the per
son that attacked the woman, was
as follows: short heavy set color
ed man with a gold tooth. Investi-
cation of all negroes, who had
gold teeth. They finally decided
that Cole who lives between oath
and 25th on Burdette Street fit
ted the description and the as
sault was placed on him The fore
man questioned the sheriff and
found out that there had been no
attack. Asked why he didn't bring
the woman out so that she could
pick out the man that attacked
her, said that the woman was not
at home. Some of the colored fell
lows and white would not let him
take the man down.
Superstition was that they
might have gotten fresh with her.
Colored fellows and boss went
over to the house to see the w0-
man and no one was at home.
you'll get off this time, but
don't let it happen again, as the
feeling is very high against Ne
gro pepole," said the sheriff. He
also told Cole that the best thing
he could do was to leave the
camp.
All of this happened Thursday
night, 25th of July.
Friday all was O. 4.
Saturday, rumor was out that
white people were coming out to
the camp to make trouble. Satur-
day p. N. a couple Of shots were
fired in the direction Of the color
ed fellows working position. They
don't know whether it was a
practical joke or not. That even
ming the Superintendent of the
camp called all colored fellows in
his office and he told them that
he was expecting trouble and for
them not to go out Of the camp,
or into the town. He also told
them, that II any trouble comes
up to call the polcie.
Just before dark, on Saturday.
the superintendent Of the camp,
told all colored fellows to get
ready and go back to Omaha.
There was no proof. Couldn't
find the woman. All looked like a
good excuse to get the colored fell
lows from up there in McCOok.

workers.

CRABCRASS SEEN
 IN STATE AGAIN

Crabgrass, that native intruder that ruins lawns, has made its an- nual appearance in the state again. E. M. Stoddard, of the Agricul- tural Experiment Station at New Haven. advises home owners to set to work at once to rid their turf of the pest.
 About 90 per cent of the people who complain of crabgrass blame its presence on the seedsmen, Mir. Stoddard says. Crabgrass is never found in the lawn mixtures but is always present in the soil and develops under suitable conditions irrespective of the lawn seed used.
 If there is only a little of it in the lawn, remove 1t by cutting off the clumps just below the surface of the soil, MT. Stpddard says. If the crabgrass is abundant, loosen the tops with bamboo rake. and mow the lawn frequently catchins the seed heads in grass catcher These operations should he under taken immediately because crab grass Is now going to seed. If ieft to its own devices 1t will do q good lob of seeding the lawn. especially where there are bare or thin places.
 Fortunately this is one weed that cannot bear competition. It seldom grows In shady places or in think. well kept lawns. The best way to prevent It's appearance 10 Co have more and better grnss growing in tho lawn next season Mir. stoddard points out

TEXAS TO MARK
 FREEDOM FIGHT
Seven-day Centennial Ob- servance Planned in Mexico October 2

Gonzales, Tex. (U.P.)-Striking similarities in events at the open : ing of the American Revolution and Texas War for Independence are being revealed as Gonzales pre-. pares for seven-day centennial observance Of it's part in wrestling Texas from Mexico.
 Gonzales was the Lexington of the Texas War for Independence. Just as the British had marched out of Boston to seize weapons when the colonial farmers fired the shot heard round the world, /" Mexican soldiers had come from San Antonio to take small can- non formerly given to Texas col onists as protection against In. dians.
 Texas. on Oct. 2, 1885, had its Paul Revere. He was Matthew Caldwell. Hastily he rode to the surrounding settlements spreading the alarm that brought colonists to the defense of the cannon.
 Betsy ,Goss had her counterpart. too. The women, gathered in the home of. Sarah Seely Dewitt and their needles produced "a defiant flag. It pictured the cannon which the Mexicans had demanded. Around it were stitched the words: Come and Take It."
 These scenes are to be depicted in the Gonzales celebration that will open Texas Centennial ob. servance. Then there will be repro. duction of the battle for the can- non with a replica of the little brass six-inch weapon firing blanks at the "Mexicans." In contrast, a bombing attack of airplanes will end the spectacle.
 Pilgrimages of Goliad, the Ala mo and San Jacinto battlefield. the other chief war spots of the revo- lution, will be made. Cattle and industrial expositions will be held at the more modern cities of Fort Worth and Dallas.

of June than at the close of the preceding month. Advances were registered in the New York market for cotton, silk, tin and rubber. Wheat at Liverpool rose during the month. Tea declined fin the London market. During July a further rise occurred in the whole sale commodity price level in Eng land, Germany and Italy. French prices, according to preliminary reports, remained substantially un- changed.
 Security prices continued to rise in London, Berlin, and New York during the month of July, but av- erRged somewhat lower on the Paris Bourse than in June.
 Foreign exchange movements were dominated during the latter part of July by the cabinet> crisis in Holland. The guilder, which was quoted at the end of June at 68.39cs declined after resignation of the Collin cabinet to 67.04c. Formation of a second Collin cab inet and official announcement of the intention of the Dutch govern ment to remain on a gold standard brought about later recovery. and by August 3 the guilder had recov- cred to 67.9sc. Early in the month, owing to reports of American sup port of the London silver market, sterling rose temporarily to a new 1895, high point of $4.9Sh. On July 22, the action of the Italian government in announcing suspen- sion of the 40% gold coverage pro- vision depressed the lira temporar- fly. Since Italy has actually been off the gold standard for some time, however, the recent move was of little importance, and the lira subsequently regained the greater part of it's decline.

CHIEF OF SYRIA
 SUSPECTS SNUB
Buys Americhan Car in France But Does Not
 Like Being Taxed

Paris (U.P)-The only chief of sta'e carrying on a lawsuit in France nearly lost his chance of winning because of the undiplo- matic obstinacy of French customs officials.
 To make 1t worse the chief of state in question is-or ought to be--a particular friend. of France, for he is President Ali bey el Abed of Syria, a French mandate.
 The Syrian president bought in France an American automobile and ordered special body from one of Frances most noted build- CTS. When it was delivered, the body showed no signs of being particularly fresh; and the presi- dent charged that his investigation showed that 1t not only was not new specially-built body, according to specifications, but was one that had been made two years previ- ously and shown at so many auto mobile shows that it had become decidedly worse for wear.
 The car accordingly was shipped back to France as Exhibit A in a suit brought against body builder to recover the purchase price.
 It was at this point that the cus- toms stepped in and refused to ad- init the car unless customs duty of 100000 francs were paid.
 The president of Syria protest ed that the car was necessary as an exhibit in his lawsuit; that it had come from France in the first place; and that heads of states of foreign countries, like ambassa- dors, enjoy the right to bring in foreign merchandise for a year, a time limit which is regularly and automatically renewed indefinitely.
 The customs service retorted that 1t was not interested in the reason why Al bey ell Abed wanted to bring the car into France; that whether or not the car went from France to Syria, It was foreign car and as such taxable; and that the president of Syria was not chief of state of a foreign country because Syria, being mandated to France, was part of the French empire.
 After long argument. the cus- toms service finally decided to al- low the president of Syria half the privilege of a chief of state, and bring his car in duty-free for six months also, presumably, with limiti ,s privilege of renewal, which makes the distinction high ly academic.
