ABBENTA ANTE WAS
 GIVEN DISCHARGE
Refused to Iiienfify
tcontinued from Page 1)

Refused to Identify
 The two witnesses refusal to Identify Abbentante brought charges by the state that Brown had positively identified the &C., cused last week and White had tentatively identified him and that the two were now changing their stories because they had been promised a sum of money. White admitted on the stand that rela- tive6 of Abbentante had promised him $50 but denied that this had influenced his testimony. Brown, who last week picked Abbentante out of a police lineup and said, This is the man." likewise denied that his testimony had been infiu- enced but claimed that he was not sure of his Identification. In the hold-up, White lost $50, while Brown lost some change and q package of cigarets.
 Prosecutor Angry
 After Brown and White had en- tireIy disrupted the states case, Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers de- clared: Its obvious what has hap pened here. I can state tfIat at least one of these men last week pos- itiEeiy identified the accused. Though I realize that the state has no case now, I wish to proceed with the case to justify the police in their handling of the crime"
 Patrollnan TcstifleS
 Patrolman Charles McWeeney was placed on the stand to testify about a conversation he heard at the police station a few days ago when White, the hold-up victim. and Abbentante's brother-in-law visited Joseph Abbentate at the po- lice station. In the course of the discussion, the policeman stated, a settlement was discussed and he heurd White being offered $50. Patrolman McWeeney declared that Abbentate's brother-in-law said that he would give White tho $50 rather than hire a lawyer for the accused. Abbentante, however, was represented this morning by counsel, Attorney Timothy Sullivan ap.iearing for him and successfully gaining a motion for discharge.
 Detective Connie Shanahan tes- tified that Brown had positively idlsntified Abbentante as one of the huld-up men and that White had given an almost certain identifica- ton. They identified him, the de- tective said, by pictures, and later in a lineup, with Brown putting his hand on Abbentante's shoulder and giving positive Identification.
 Judge Mascolo called Brown and White, back to the stand to ask tlfem if their testimony had been Influenced in any way. Both denied that it had. White said, however, that he had been promised $50. but he added, 1T didn't get it yet
 After the discharge, police en- deavored to hold Abbentante fo: violation of parole. but when this was objected to by Attorney Sulli- van, they agreed to let him go. His parole record will be studied, police indinatal

as bargaining point-not in the actual hope of regaining the terrI-- tory, but to abandon the claim in return for other concessions.
 Regarding German re-armamcnt Hitler was expected to tell Simon that he plans six motorized divi- sions in the new German army, That would be another bargaining point and it was believed Hitler would concede a smaller number. especially as the creation of a mo- torized division would require many months.
 France at present, it is believed. :. has only four motorized divisions and Italy three. These mobile units are regarded as of extreme stra- tegic importance in the event of an outbreak of war, enabling thel power possessing them to strike swiftly and hard.
 Germany's return to the League of Nations was understood to have been included in this mornings dis cussions before the conferees ad- journed for luncheon, but Ger many insisted it could be taken up only after the solution of other problems.

 Eected to continue all day except for a brief midday recess. Germans Optimistic
 The conference opened in an att
 mosphere of optimism among Ger

 tions in which France and Italy
 would participate with Britain and Germany.
 simon arrived by airplane yes-
 tcrday, with Eden and q staff of four. They were cheered. Technically the talks were based
 on the British-French agreement
 ot February 3, in which Germany was invited to adhere to a progra in of general pacification ending in
 membership in an aerial defense
 league and legalization on m
 agreed basis of rearmament. In this agreement also France and Britain said they would not. nor
 would Italy, recognize legality Of
 violation of the Versailles treaty. Hence, strictly, the decrees pro-
 viding for a German military air
 fierce and compulsory army service were not within the scope of ne- gotiations.

CHEAPER Beer
HELD UNLIKELY
New Port of Entry Dealers
Expected to Pass Permit
Costs to Public.

The state may gain $150,000 an
nually in revenue starting Nov. IS
when the ten state beer importers
and their estimated $225,000 annual
revenue fade from the liquor pic
ture, but the consuming public, it
was revealed today, will not be
benefited
End of the importers regime is to
witness licensing of from 10 to 100
port of entry dealers who will pay
an estimated $150,000 into the state
treasury each year. if the maximum
number are licensed.
But with the port of entry men
expected to pass the permit costs
on to the public, as the importers
passed on their handling charges, a
cheaper beer is held unlikely.
Since the start of Indiana's beer
sales, April 7, 1888, the importers,
it is estimated. have received be-
tween $450,0O0 and $550,000 in
handling charges.
The two indianapolis importers,
the Hoosier Wine and Beer Co.,
Inc, and the State Beverage Co.,
Inc, in that time have received
revenues of between $150,OO0 and
100000.
Importers handled 1913, 1853 barrels
of beer from April 7, 1888, to Sept.
Is, 1886, paid $617,31178 in taxes,
and collected an estimated $3.50, 900
for themselves.
Indiana brewers as we'll as out
side companies fear that under the
port of entry system competition
will result in INSCRIPTIONS practices.

Cabinet Decides to Prepare

LINK NATION TO LEAGUE
Policy Toward MuSSoIini
HardenS; Parliament to
Meet Tuesday.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
(Copyright. 1895. by United Press)

LONDON, Oct. II. = The
cabinet has decided to tell the
country that though it does
not contemplate any military
penalties against Italy, there
is no absolute certainty that
application of economic penal
ties will not lead to fighting,
we'll informed quarters said
today.
Great Britain'S attitude toward
ItalyS war on Ethiopia has hard
ened. 1t is limited, first, that any
peace agreement reached now must
be less generous to Italy than those
offered before her attack; secondly
that any agreement reached must
be accepted in advance by the
League of Nations Council and by
Ethiopia
An historic three-day debate on
foreign policy is expected to follow
Immediately upon the reassembly of
parliament next Tuesday.
Baldwin, Hoare to Speak
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin,
whose quiet way of revealing mat
tiers of urgent gravity has often
startled Europe, and Sir Samuel
Hoare, foreign minister, are to be
the principal speakers for the gov
eminent.
Political opinion is that they will
have almost a united House of
Commons in their policy Of sticking
with the League.
1t is indicated that Baldwin, who
probably will open the debate, will
say first that Great Britain is act
ing with the League of Nations and
will continue to act only with the
League in dealing with the Italian
crisis. He is expected to emphasize
that Britain will act only with the
other nations collectively.
Nation May Be Warned
But the present grave state of
affairs, it is said will make it neces-
sary also for the cabinet to warn
the nation that collective action in
imposing economic penalties against
Italy may bring a clash-one which
would not be started by Britain.
