Baldwin Declares Views to Press and
Conservatives.
LONDON, October 16 LP.-Rumors
of secret negotiations to end the Italo-
Ethiopian war persisted in London to-
day.
Premier Laval of France, rumors
said, had appealed to Great Britain
for withdrawal of the British fleet
from the Mediterranean as a gesture
of peaceful intention toward Italy.
Foreign offices in London and Paris,
however, pleaded ignorance of any
such moves.
Representing Conservative members
Of the House of Commons and the
press, two deputations sought from
Premier Baldwin some assurance
Great Britain would not be dragged
into war.
It was understood that Baldwin and
Lord Stanhope, undersecretary for
foreign affairs, talked with them for
and hour and 10 minutes and pledged
them to strictest secrecy.
The political writer of the Daily
Express said the premier refused to
give the two groups assurance the
government would not associate itself
with any policy likely to lead to war.
Five applicants for licenses to ex-
port arms to Ethiopia are before the
board Of trade. They are said to
cover rifles, ammunition and swords.

Second Force Invading.
A second and larger force of Ethi-
opianS are crossing over the Italian
Somaliland frontier midway between
Teolo and the Webbe Shibeli River,
occupying Oddur, about IS miles south
of the Ethiopian frontier.
Somali tribes were said to be joining
the invaders in support of their old
grievances against the Italians, which
have been intensified by the reports
out of Ethiopia that non -combatants
had suffered casualties through air
bombing raids
An even greater menace than these
two strong raiding parties against the
italian troops under Gen. Graziani in
Italian Somaliland was an advance by
Ras DeSta'S army of 100000 men down
the valley of the Webbe Shibeli toward
the left flank of the Italian army.
GRAHAM Fails to Advance.
GRAHAM thus far has made his
main thrust along the British Somali-
land frontier to his north, but it has
yielded him no additional ground.
Siwiank is we'll known in Italian
Somaliland, for he owns great estate

as an opponent Of Italian rule.
Graziani's tanks are still holding the
oases southwest of Behotleh, but the

Jury |ND|CTS TRIO
FOR WILSON PROBE
Secret Charges Believed to
Hold Key to Murder of
Route Agent.

Three secret indictments returned
by the District grand jury, it was said
today, hold the key to the murder of
Allen B. Wilson, newspaper route
agent, whose Staying is reported to
have been solved.
1t also was disclosed that the first
real clue to the murder came from a
prisoner in the District Jail, who sub
Sequently was given his freedom in ex-
change for the information.
This prisoner, a cellmate of John
Slim Dunn. notorious gangster. also
gave police information concerning
the Staying of two men during the
robbery of the car barn at Chevy
Chase Lake last January.
Woman One of Accused.
One Of the secret indictments Is
against Marie McKeever, identified
by police as "a friend" Of the Tri-
State gang. She is said to be in
Philadelphia.
Another indictment has been secret
ly returned against a prisoner in Lor-
ton Reformatory. 1t was said his
time is almost up and the indictment
was returned to hold him after his re-
lease.
The third indictment names a man
who has not yet been apprehended.
He was reported in Philadelphia yes
terday. These indictments do not

der.

in the conviction of the gunner who
killed Wilson early last october %,

Police officials would neither con-
firm nor deny reports that the mur-
der has been solved.
Inspector Frank S. W. Burke. chief
of detectives, said there have been no

warned by the raiders that they would
attack the town.
At Santa Ana, where the mayor and
chief of police were killed Monday

with all available weapons. Reports
of raids on several nearby ranches lent
credence to rumors that the band was
encamped within striking distance of
the city.
Insurgence Minimized.
In Mexico City, a government Off
dal minimized the Sonora insurgent
movement in confirming previous re-
ports that five prominent Americans
whose hunting firearms were seized
by the rebels, had been released un-
harmed.

returned to the border, various sources
have reported them as safe. Members
of the party are j. H. Durrell, vice
president of the National City Bank,
New York; James Bruce, vice presi-
dent of the National Dairy Products
Co., New York; Lee PAUL, Wheeling,
w. Va, insurance executive; Jack
Durrell, San Francisco representa-
tive of the Chase National Bank, and
DR.. w. S. Fulton. Wheeling.
The Mexico City official said the
rebels did not number more than so
and that the uprising soon would
be downed by Federal forces.

Rio Grando, Santa Ana, San Miguel
and several other towns in the in
terror of Sonora, are reported to be
