SUIT RULING
DELAYED
Judge Ponders Case
After Lawyers Split
on Dismissal Plea

Justice Jesse C. Adkins of the
District Supreme Court, today took
under advisement the suit Of the
Association for Legalizing Amer
lean Lotteries Inc, and the Grand
National Treasure Hunt to restrain
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley from enforcing a mail fraud or
der against the two organizations,
after opposing counsel had reach
ed a Stalemate in their argument.
Both sides wished dismissal Of
the suit but each was opposed to
the grounds for dismissal offered
by the other.
Attorney George B. Springston,
representing the plaintiffs, had
asked the court to dismiss the
suit without prejudice to a re-
newal of the action at some later
date. He explained that a district
court in New York had dismissed
an Injunction suit against the New
York postmaster and that an ap-
peal Of that ruling is scheduled to

Same Facts in Both
Since the New York suit in
wolves the same facts and prin-
cipleS of law there 81 no occasion
to prosecute two actions at the
same time, he declared.
The request was opposed by
Assistant United States Attorney
Samuel F. Beach, who made it
plain that the Government
wished to have the suit dismissed
but was unwilling to have the
order of dismissal permit a ne,
newal of the action at some
later date. He insisted that if
the case be dismissed, it should
be dismissed on its merits and
not in the course Of dilatory
pleading.
Suit Filed April 8
The plaintiffs filed a suit one
day previous to April 10 when
the mail stop order was issued
They represented to the court
that the Grand National Treas
ury Hunt had been organized to
raise funds to press legislation
for the legalization of lotteries
in the United States.
Pursuant to the purpose of its
organization, the Treasure Hunt
group had conducted a nation
wide cartoon contest to raise
100000 for a legislative FUND
for the association and had com
mitted itself to pay a huge sum
in prizes to the winners, it was
alleged.
The plaintiffs complained thai
no law of the United States has
been violated and that the Stor
order is arbitrary. capricious ano

Duce Quizzed On Plans
Recognizing Italy as conqueror
Of Ethiopia, Britain today pressed
II Duce to negotiate at Geneva
regarding the future Of the African
empire abandoned by the negus
in his flight to Palestine.
Britain also asked Premier Mus
Solini to help save endangered
Europeans in Adds Ababa, where
rioting, pillage and bloodShed by
maddened natives ragged for three
days.
The government requested the
Italian dictator to send Baron
Pompeo Aloisi to Geneva next
Monday to discuss with the League
of Nations Cancellation committee
of 10 plans for what will be done
with Ethiopia and its people.
Fate Up to italy
Britain now considers Italy alone
can save Ethiopia from further
chaos, end the war and prevent
further loss of life in the riot-ton
East African capital.
Britain stressed that the first
necessity is to restore order in
Adds Ababa and throughout the
country until Ethiopia's future
status is regularized by interna-
tional procedure. In the past
Mussolini. has consistently refused
to discuss his plans for Ethiopia
with other powers.
Britain also advises II Duce
that Emperor Halle Selassie is en-
route to Palestine aboard the
British cruiser Enterprise. He
was placed aboard the vessel at
Djibouti, French Somaliland.
Since the majority Of the Brit
ish cabinet recognized Italy's re-
sponsibility to deal with Ethiopia,
Foreign Secretary Eden was in
structed to ask Mussolini to state
the terms under which he will
talk with other powers.
The British communication said
that while in Palestine SelasSie
will not be permitted to try to
restore himself to the Ethiopian
throne.
