Spanish Motif
Distinguishes
Moorish Castle
Service to Special Parties
Being Featured by
Night Club.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

THE Spanish atmosphere has
u been introduced in Indianapo-
lis night life with the inception Of
big time night club production by
the management of the Moorish
Castle, located five miles east on the
Michigan-rd.
Leroy Donnelly, the proprietor,
has spared no expense or time in
executing the interior decoration
and architecture in an authentic
copy of the Spanish type.
The building is centered with
short tower topped by a semi-cir-
cular dome and lighted with oval
windows. These windows and the
lack of ornamentation at the
entrances are characteristic Of the
period.
The Moorish Castle is equipped
especially for special parties al
though dancing for every one is in
vogue.

NEW YORK. July 10. U.P)-
Stocks encountered moderate profit
taxing today that brought the list
lrregularly lower. Volume shrank
on the reaction with resistance de-
veloping before the close.
Oils led the downturn. Atlantic
Refining touched 21& off rs and
others lost fractions to a point. A
sharp decline in Atlantics earn
lngS for the first half reacted
against the issue. Expectation of
poor reports and outlook for a cut
in gasoline and crude oil prices
were influences in the other issues.
Standard of New Jersey lost a
point.
Outlook for lower earnings for
Corn Products Refining sent it
down 3Ss points at its low and ad-
verSely influenced Penick & Ford,
which broke points. Other food
shares, however. did not decline to
any extent in dull trading.
Highly favorable reports of retail
and wholesale trade helped the
mercantile division. R. H. Macy
made a new high at 44A up Is.
In the mail order division. Spiegel,
May, Stern rose 2% to 70A. Mont
gomery Ward and Sears Roebuck

ground fractionally but rallied near
the close. Otis Steel made another
new high on prospects of a divi-
dend.
Motor shares were depressed for
a time but met support and rallied.
Motor equipment issues continued

gains.
Johns Manville again made a

vast Associated Gas and Electric
company system, testified before

The Justice department approved

LOS ANGELES, July 19.-With
the gunpowder removed from two
controversial questions, a diagnosis
of the new deal" and an investi-
cation of the Hauptmann murder
trial, predicted fireworks at the
58th annual convention of the AM
erican Bar association fizzled out
today as delegates opened their
final session.
The new deal" critique-a legal
analysis of constitutional phases of
the recovery program-was expect
ed to arouse a furore at the con-
vention, but the analysis died
aborning when the executive COM
mittee declined to report it out to
the convention floor.
Pot-shots at the Administrations
legislative efforts were reduced to
speeches in section meetings, hit
ting at various aspects of new
deal' legislation but avoiding di-
rect comment on the validity of
recovery laws, expected to be the
substance of the committee re-
port.
The committee was unable to
agree on a recommendation after
three days of debate-So no report
was returned to the convention.
The 5000 delegates, in turn, de-
clined to call the report out of
committee and delay until No

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. U.P)
-PreSbyterians of the California
Nevada synod chose the Rev. Hugh
T. Robbins, Berkeley, as moderator
for the coming year as they began
formal business sessions of their
annual meeting today.
Hhe Rev. Robbins has been clerk
of the Sacramento Presbytery for
30 years and also is head of the
San Francisco Theological semi
nary.
He will succeed the Rev. William

mally opening the synodical assem-
bly, last night told 500 delegates
representing 100000 members that
the churches will keep their chins
UP" despite economic conditions
and will continue to serve humanity
in increasing measure.
Conferences on missionary ma
terials and methods, church fl
nanceS, ministerial training and
programs, and other details of the
church work occupied the delegates
in their business meetings. The
Revs. Merlo Heicher of Pasadena,
Graham Hunter of Fullerton, John
Macinnis of Los Angeles and John

tional meetings.

disregard the ethics of the profess

"If press reports are accurate,
attorneys for the defendant and
prosecutors took advantage Of the
situation by personal interviews
given the press and radio talks to
disregard all the accepted rules of
dignity which surround the trial of
a man for his life" he investigat-

Newspapers were absolved in the
report from censure, the commit
tee finding that "the blame was on
the courts, rather than on the
press"
Unofficially, delegates learned
that dissension within the COM
mittee as to the severity OF criti-
cism resulted in a stronger report
being withheld while a tempered
version was brought out.
Judge Oscar Hallam of st. Paul,

indicated that a more fiery version
may be made later, declaring fur

ETHIOPIA SHY
On MATERIAL
FOR WARFARE
BY RALPH HElNAEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, July l9-Ancient Eth
opia faces a war that will test to
the death the stubborn courage of
its warriors in their fight to pre-
serve their independence, it was
increasingly apparent today.
As the expected opening day Of
war with Fascist Italy came near
er. reports multiplied of the mill
tary unpreparedness of the king
dom.
United Press ana other dispatch
es from Adds Ababa made 1t clear
that the country was ready, from
the human standpoint, for fight,
and that its men and boys were
prepared to give their lives.
But the dispatches showed with
increasing clarity the formidable
nature of the war which confronts
them.
Emperor Halle Selassie will be
able to muster perhaps 100000 men
in all. But they are warriors. not
soldiers. They are undisciplined,
guerrilla fighters, of undoubtcd
bravery but insuSceptible to the es-
sential strict discipline of modern
war with its requirements for
clocklike movement of masses of
men under fire.
There are not even rifles enough
to go round. The United Press Ad-
dis Ababa correspondent reported
that the regular army even now
numbered hardly more than $4,000
men and that it was unlikely to be
increased to more than 10000 with
in the next few weeks.
Old men and boys in their early
teens. all civil servants, everyone
who can give battle are training III
streets all over Ethiopia.
But of the perhaps 100000 rifles
ayailable-some reports say 100000
not more than 250,000 are believ-
ed to be modern repeating rifles
Many of the remainder are one
shot rifles, some antiquated, and
needing many types of ammunition
"a great disadvantage.
When the tocsin sounds, and the
signal fires are lighted for war
warriors all over the country will
respond on the minute, in groups OF
from so to 500 under their triba
chiefs.
But in addition to their rifles
the disorganized army will havt
! but about 1000 good machine guns
six little trench mortars, 13 SLOW
commercial airplanes and 200 can
non to augment them. according tt
an expert estimate today by Jear
Perrigault correspondent of the
newspaper Matin of Paris.
