Scon,ed Egotistic Man Is KillerOfTlvo, With Himself

New York, Dec. 13-(UP)-When Victor Koussow was young, in old czarist Russia, he lived luxuriously. He studied medicine three years at Odessa, graduated in law at Moscow, dived deep into and loved fine liter ature. In America, to which he came for reason he kept to himself, he achieved nothing, acquired nothing, and knew no one of the class he considered his own. An egotism that deteriorated slower than the rest of him told him his i'll fortune was not his fault.
 Koussow listened and believed. He quarreled with fellow workmen on menial jobs around the old Cooper Union institute because they refused to recognize his superior background and intellect. When he got a better job as technician in the school of dental and oral surgery at Columbia Presbyterian Medical center he hat ed faculty members and other tech- nical workers because they appreci- ated him insufficiently.
 His fellow workers avoided him as much as possible. Associate Dean Arthur T. Rowe warned him he would be discharged unless he con- trolled his tongue and shrill voice. Koussow glared through his gold rimmed spectacNes and hated the more. He brooded at night in a lonely, four-room tenement apart ment over his persecution.
 Yesterday he spoke angrily to an-

 dent in His Letter

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 13.-(UP) I-Supreme Knight Martin II. Car mody of the Knights of Columbus. said today that statement attrib- uted to him that he had threat ened" President Roosevelt with poli- tical reprisals by Catholics as re- suit of the Mexican religious con- troversy, was wholly inaccurate and has no foundation in fact. " Carmody, in a letter to the press, said that mo such tlareate or impli- cation of threat has ever been ex- pressed by me, either in an open letter or any letter or In any state- ment have made" {
 Started 1t Notre Dame
 He said the report started at Notre Dame university and was brought to his attention through news items and a letter from "The lst Roosevelt for President club of the United States, corroborated by the democratic national committee ? of South Bend, Ind. The letter, signed by Joseph Leib, organizer president, and postmarked from i736 Gee St., N. w., Washington, D. c. stated: T was very much in- terested in your recent public charge to President Roosevelt in re- gards to the Mexican crisis. Does this mean that members of the K. of C., will be urged to vote against MT. Roosevelt's reelection next year?"
 Nothing Partisan in Letter Carmody said he replied T assure you there was nothing partisan or personal in the letter sent the presi- of the United States pertaining to Mexico" and added it was an ex- pression of the supreme board of directors and political party aftilia- tions did not enter into the mat ter in any way" He said the Knights of Columbus, "as matter of principle" avoids party politics and "this has been its unblemished record for more than fifty years. 7 Carmody declared that insofar as I can prevent it, the Sufferings and human oppression of the Mexican people shall not be made matter of party politics for or against any party in this country"

Wheat HOuUeDer Shot Higher h AM Markets
Five Cents BusIIeI in Home Exchange Farm Equip-
 ment Shares Were Affected By Wheat

The uprush in grains provided mild interest in farm equipment shares. International Harvester gained more than point. Case at one time sold at 1Ol but later dip- ped to around the previous close of o5 5-8. Sears, Roebuck scored a small gain but other mail order is sues did little more than hold their own. 2
 Silver markets were more orderly, although considerable uncertainty prevailed over actual policy of the government.
 Silver shares met support early. U. s. Smelling at its high touched 90 1-2 up 1-4. It later lost most of the gain. American Smelling dipped from its high of 58 7-8 to slightly more than 57. Coppers were barely steady. World copper markets were quiet, with prices steady.
 Steel shares fluctuated narrowly. U. S. Steel moved over a one-point arc and was around the previous close of 46K.
 American Telephone sold at 154, ex-dividend, off 2% points. Gas and Electric Utilities were fractions to point lower. M
 Motor and oil shares were some what steadier than other groups. Consolidated and Superior Oil made new highs for the year. Du Pont lost more than 3 points in this section. Can stocks were weak with American down 4 points. General Electric and Westinghouse were easier in the electrical equipments.

 The rights of the tribes of Brit issh Somaliland to the use of laS- lures and water wells situated in this territory is hereby recognized and will be safeguarded by Italy.
 (D)-Ethiopia will receive as her property an outlet to the sea. This outlet should be constituted prefer ably by the cession on the part of Italy of the port of Assab and a strip of territory giving access to this port, bordering the northern frontier of the French colony on the Somaliland coast.
 The British and French govern ments are actively trying to obtain from the Ethiopian government guarantees concerning the execu- ton in the territory acquired by it of the obligations which fall on it concerning slavery and commerce in arms.
 The British and French govern ments will use their influence at Addis Ababa and Geneva to have accepted by the emperor and con- secrated by the League of Nations, the constitution in Southern Ethio- pia of a zone of economic expansion reserved for Italy. The limits of this zone would be on the east 8 rectified frontier between Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland, on the north the eighth parallel, on the west the 35th Meridian and on the south the frontier between Ethiopia and Kenya.
 The interior of this zone would remain an integral part of Ethiopia but Italy would enjoy exclusive economic rights which could be demonstrated by a privileged com- pany or other similar organization with a reserve to the rights acquired by natives and foreigners, all prop erty rights to unoccupied land 8 monopoly on the exploitation of mines, forests, etc.

other dental school technician who he thought was misusing 8 machine. His fellow retorted hotly. Koussow persisted, he waved his arms, stamped his feet, screamed. Ten minutes later he stalked from the school, his black garbed spare frame stiffly erect-f1red.
 Apparently he went directly to his apartment, got 8 revolver and re- turned to the school. He shot and killed Dr. Rowe and Professor Paul B. Wiberg, and dangerously wounded Professor William H. Crawford. Then he backed into doorway, at bay be- fore dozens of doctors and nurses pouring from laboratories, and killed himself.
 There was little smile on. his face in the morgue today while Professor Crawford suffered with bullet in his back, preparations were made to bury Dr. Rowe and Professor Wibere and detectives looked wisely and fu- tilely at notes in Russian script in his rooms.
 He undoubtedly suffered from a persecution complex and was a little queer," said Dean William 0. Rap- pleye of the dental school.
 The janitor of Koussow'ss tene- ment, obviously impressed by book lined walls and the fact that he had been q tenant who always paid his rent, said the same thing but in other words.
 He had funny noises in his head. he said.

Meets Difficulties


 Geneva, Dec. 13 - (UP) - The French British plan to settle the Ethiopian war encountered almost insurmountable difficulties on all sides today, including clear inti- nation by emperor Halle Selassie that he never would accept it. In addition, the small powers here organized their forces to defeat the plan. The prospects were that it would be savagely attacked when the council discusses 1t next We'd nesday.
 Word from London and Paris in- dicated that even the British and French, especially the British, might not push the plan too vig- ourously. Opposition to 1t was grow ing in both parliaments, and it was reported in Paris that Edouard Eierriot, leader of the powerful rad ical socialists, threatened to resign from the cabinet in protest.
 That would mean fall of the government.
 The penalties committee of IS moving cautiously, met meanwhile to examine an experts report oil how the sanctions applied against Italy so far are working out. Marte R. Gomez of Mexico join- ed the oposition to "railroading' the Franco-B British plan through when he warned the great powers that any settlement must be accep- ted freely by Ethiopia.
 Capt. Anthony Eden of Great Britain announced that his country would give "all the assistance with in its power" to the committee which is directing the sanctions campaign.
 The committee adjourned until after the council meeting. Thus postponing action on the oil em- bargo for at least a week. Summary of Plan Paris, Dec. 13.-(UP)-The Fran CO., British peace plan was issued officially here today, declaring that the basis of a friendly solution oi the Italian Ethiopian war is an ex- change of territories.

 'SThe truth is," the young Ethio- plan continued, "that Julian failed and failed rather badly. And he was indiscreet."
 He said that all the way across the Atlantic, passengers had come to him asking if he had heard about JElian's money, and every time the story was different. Personally, he didn't think the Italians would con- slider him worth buying of.
 Resented Newspapermei1
 Julian turned newspapermen away from his stateroom, saying he re- sented their call as "an invasion of my privacy" But later he managed to meet them in the ships library.
 He wouldn't explain about the money, but was full of denunciation of Ethiopia, which he said was "cruel, barbarous and unworthy The Italian invasion, he said, really was a civilizing "road-building ex- petition"
 Some one must make g sacrifice to let the world know about it, and I'm going to do it." he said.
 He said he had seen knives used on Italian prisoners "in the most brutal fashion; had seen Ethio- plan girls only eight or nine years old with their hands chained to their feet; and one man whose feet had been cut off because he stole some grain after going days without food
 Julian asserted that Ethiopia did not want American negro aid. The Ethiopian attache in separate in- terview contradicted that.
 Finally, the black eagle said that if he had some of the money left when he got through telling the country about Ethiopia, he would try another transatlantic flight. On his first venture, in 1924, he got one and . half miles down the Harlem river.
