While Wolf waited in the railway station

he hoped to obtain important information
about Barrels. one of Grundt agents, Dallas
went to the Hotel Astoria to see if any word
had come from Hartigan.
In an hour he was back. "Step on it!' he
said to Wolf and hustled him towards the

enforce. The British and French dele

PEELED to confess it could not find
means of attaiping peace. France will
not consent to the imposition of mill
tary sanctions, and Great Britain natur-
ally will not undertake to enforce them
by herself. 1t appeared the poor Ethio-
plans were to be abandoned to their
fate, meaning the extinction of their
empire and their exploitation by Italy.
The council adopted a resolution re-
GREETING its inability to end the war,
reminding league members that they
should continue the sanctions and ask
ing Italy to be generous in bringing the
conflict to a close.
Anthony Eden in his address to the
council warned France that she might
expect from Great Britain no further
support against aggression by Germany
than France had given against Italy.
From the north, south and west the
Italian armies were advancing on Ad-
dis Ababa, and the panic stricken civ
ilian inhabitants of the capital were
fleeing from the city. Foreigners sought
shelter in the bOmb-proofed British
legation. The mayor issued all the
arms available and the government
called on all able men to make last
stand for liberty, saying lit is better

Band-A-Blu Burners is hotter than

It's low fuel consumption makes it

The Coleman Range has a spa

out organization, he carried large
part of the state outside of Chicago.
This preferential vote is purely ad-
visory and neither man has a slate of
delegates to the national convention.
The result makes it certain that Knox
will make respectable showing on
the first roll call. 1t also adds to
Borah's prestige and aids him in the
coming Ohio primary.
Gov. Henry Horner, seeking renom-
ination, was victorious in the bitter
fight with the regular Democratic or
ganization and the Kelly-Nash ma
chine in Chicago, which had thrown
him overheard and supported Bundle
sen for governor. The Democrats al
most unanimously voted for the re-
nomination of Senator James Hamil-
ton Lewis, and the Republicans named
Former Senator Otis Glenn to oppose
him in November.
Republican leaders in Washington
were encouraged to believe the in
ternecine warfare in the Democratic
ranks would help the Republicans to
carry the state. The Democratic sages,
on the other hand, liked the showing
of strength made by Borah, feeling his
liberal following might switch to
Roosevelt in November if the G. o. P.
puts up a conservative candidate.
In Nebraska's primary only Borah's
name was printed on the Republi-
can preferential ballot but almost one
sixth of the voters wrote in the name
of Gov. ALT Landon of Kansas.
For the Democratic preference Presi.
dent Roosevelt was unopposed in both
Illinois and Nebraska.

PWA Power Loan Suit Goes
to the Supreme Court


a SKIING that the Supreme court re-
\ view the lower court decision in
the celebrated Buzzard Roost case, the
Duke Power company and the Southern
Public Utilities company carried up to
the highest tribunal the question of
ton may finance publicly owned and
operated hydro electric plants to COM
pete with private enterprise. Unless
extraordinary measures are taken TO
speed the case, arguments cannot be
heard until the term beginning next
October. The government has 30 days
in which to reply to the petition for
review.
This case, which deeply concerns the
New Deal program, arose when the
PWA allocated S2,S52,00 for construc-
ton by Greenwood county, South Caro-
lima, of the Buzzard Roost plant on the
Saluda river.
Filed by Newton D. Baker, secretary
of war in the Wilson cabinet, the petit
ton asserted the government was at
tempting to 'coerce privately owned
utilities to reduce their rates." The
purpose of Secretary Ickes, the PWA
administrator, 1t added, sis to estab-
lish yardstick regulation of intrastate
rates and promote public ownership"
The petition also said the Circuit
Court of Appeals had conceded that
under ordinary circumstances the
power would not exist to raise and ex-
pend" federal funds for such a project
but that it was justified by the unem-
ployment emergency.

Editors Condemn Seizure
of Private TelegramS

ID ESOLUTIONS condemning the blan-
\ket seizure of private communica-
tons were adopted by the American
Society of Newspaper Editors in con-
vention at Washington.
"We are of the conviction" said the
resolution. that if such practice is not
checked the threat to liberty of indi-
vidual action and particularly to the
freedom of the press is immediate and
menacing."
Although the Black lobby committee
was not mentioned in the resolutions,
it was specifically criticized by Grove
Patterson of the Toledo Blade, presi-
dent of the editors association, in an
address.
The society urged its members to CO.
operate with all law enforcement agen-
cies by guarding against the premature
publication of information harmful to
the successful completion of criminal
Investigations. The editors also inaug-
urated a formal study to determine If
1t is possible for the press and bar
jointly to reach some working formula
to prevent sensational murder cases
from becoming public scandals.

British Budget Highest
Since That of 1881

NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN, chan
IN cellor of the exchequer, submitted
to the British cabinet and later to parli-
ament the annual budget, which is for
almost four billion dollars, the highest
since 1881. The huge rearmament pro-
gram and other unusual expenses made
it certain there will be no relief from
present taxation burdens.
No estimate has yet been presented
to parliament of the amount to be
spent in 1886 on strengthening the
fighting forces. All that is known is
that the air forces part of the program
will cost about $50,0OO,0O0 this year.
Requirements Of the army and navy
may bring the aggregate for 1896 up to
$110.0OO,O00.

Presidents Secretary and
Adviser Taken by Death

r OUIS McHENRY HOWE, secretary
IL to President Roosevelt and for
many years his close friend and ad-
wiser, died in the Naval hospital at
Washington after an illness of more
than a year. Mr.. Howe was known in
the capital as ''the President maker"
for it was largely due to his efforts
that Mr.. Roosevelt reached the White
House. For twenty-five years, from the
day when Mr.. Roosevelt and he first
met in Albany, he had devoted himself
to forwarding his friends political for
tunes. During the Chicago convention
and the ensuing campaign his plan

largely with the results attained.
