actions in cotton goods ran, to a fair
volume, as prices continued along steady

of small quantities. Buyers experienced
difficulty in obtaining some lines for

that buyers were taking inventory of
recent purchases, many traders feel that
much buying was left undone.
Sheetings enjoyed a fair demand with

No official source was willing to say
whether the British had yet made any

Sidered the impending death struggle
of the war in Ethiopia.
The little rainy season, which al
ready had begun locally in various
sectors of the northern front, finally
set in with characteristic African
viciousness. but military authorities
asserted the heavy downpour would
fail to retard the operations.
The Ethiopian Emperor withdrew
his forces to the heights overlooking
Lake Ashangi, 80 miles south of Amba
Alaji, to await the second phase of the
decisive ncounter-expeCted to be an
attack by the army of Marshal Pietro
Badoglio.
Emperor Halle Selassie himself
launched what was believed to be the
opening move of the climatic strug-
gle on the northern front yesterday,
throwing 10000 of the finest troops
of his bodyguard at the left italian
flank, just north of Lake Ashangi.
The Emperor's attempt to split the
two invading army corps failed, the
Italian headquarters said, but only
after an all-day battle, marked by
terrific attack and counter attack in
the verdant hills and rolling plains
bordering the Macan River, miles
north of the lake.
The Italian command estimated
that 1000 Ethiopians were killed in
the fighting from dawn to dusk before
the imperial bodyguard retreated.
Unofficial reports said 16 italian OH
GERS. 800 white soldiers of the Fascist
lst Army Corps and 745 native Fri
trean askari were killed.
CThe Ethiopian government asserted
in a dispatch from Adds Ababa that
Italian casualties were more than
three times heavier than those suf-
fered by the Ethiopians in the battle
of Mai Ceu, near Lake Ashangi. A
communique said: In a big battle
March 81 and April l at Mai Ceu and
Debar TOO white Italians, SO officers
and 1000 Eritreans were killed. Eight
hundred and eighty-seven Ethiopians
were killed')
Withdraws to Main Body.
Halle Selassie, after ordering his
20 900 best men into the vain effort
to whip the Italian forces, withdrew
with his bodyguard to the main body
of $4,000 Ethiopians, just south Of the
lake.

"She couldn't have beer very bad
sort of person to go to the police de-
partment for a pistol permit" he said

He stressed that no evidence had
been produced that the bullets which
pierced Gebhardt's body had been pur-
chased by Miss StretZ.

Even II she had," he added, "the
bullets we're made In 1888, and she did
not begin seeing Gebhardt until eafly
in 1895. Where is the evidence that
she intended to use those bullets to
kill him?"
Miss Stretz sat motionless, eyes
downcast, as Leibowitz spoke.
The attorney in summation brought
out the name of Mildred johnson, the
other woman on the Caribbean cruise
in 1884 whom Gebhardt, Miss Stretz
testified, also kissed.

Leibowitz. "They know all the nice

.STRETz DISMISSAL
MOTION IS DENIED
Ruling by Judge Collins
Makes Possible Verdict
of Death.
Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 2.-Judge Cor
nelius F. Collins today denied a de-
fensive motion in the murder trial of
Vera Stretz, 32-year-old university
graduate, to dismiss the first degree
murder charge against her.
His ruling will make possible a ver-
dict of death in the electric chair, a
prison sentence, or acquittal.
The Judge announced his decision
at the opening Of court. He had taken
under advisement yesterday arguments
for and against the motion by defense
and prosecution attorneys.
Self Defense Plea.
Miss StretZ has admitted shooting
her 43-year-old lover, DR.. Fritz Geb-
hardt. but has pleaded self defense.
He was killed, she testified, during a
struggle In his skyScraper apartment
early last November H.
Judge Collins called on attorneys to
begin their final arguments to the
blue ribbon" jury, but cautioned the
latter against letting arguments be-
tween judge and counsel affect ITS
viewpoint.
Samuel LiebowitZ, defense attorney,
who has insisted premeditation has
not been established, shouted to the
prosecution as he opened his address:
Prove, I dare you, that she did
not have the right to kill that man
as the law governing her case stipu-
lates'
He reiterated to the jury his con-
I tention that premeditation had not
been proved by the State.
please put passion out Of your
hearts," pleaded the attorney.
THE same law for the man and
the same law for the woman-that's
my proposition in this case"
He continued: Because a woman
submits to a mans importunings Is
not reason she must do it again.
Attack Held Felony.
If a man attacks woman Of the
streets, he is just as guilty of attack
as If he forced himself on a vestal
virgin.
He is guilty of a felony. So it is
with unnatural relations between man
and woman. If she seeks to prevent
that, she is not guilty Of murder,
manslaughter or anything else"

reach a compromise" verdict

Ethiopia Demands New Sanctions
Against Italy.
GENEVA. April 2 LR.-The Ethi-
opian government demanded Of the
League of Nations tonight that new
and more powerful sanctions be ap-
piled against Italy.
Emperor Halle Selassie sent the
League a note containing scathing
indictment of Italy, claiming Italian
forces were barbarously exterminating
the Ethiopian people.
He asked that the League give
Ethiopia financial assistance to enable
it to resist aggression on less unequal
terms.
He pleaded that obstacles which
certain nations have placed in the
way of the transportation of arms to

CAMP PLANS SOON
TO Be SUBMITTED
Welfare Board to Pass on
New Tuberculosis Center
for Children.

Plans and specifications for the
new Summer tuberculosis camp for
children at Bald Eagle Hill probably
will be complete within week or 10
days and will be submitted to the
Board of Public Welfare for its ap-
proval, according to William c.
Cleary, District w. P. A. admin
1strator.
The structure is to be built from a
fund Of SIS, 200 allotted by the Federal
Works Progress Administration some
time ago.
Delay in Planning.
Some delay in planning the new
health center was encountered in the
selection of the type of structure to
be built. Cleary favored construction
of a series of small cabins to house
two or three tubercular children each.
The District tuberculosis Association
and the Board of Public Welfare IA
vored a single structure and that type
will be built.
The building will have capacity for
125 children There will be four
wings built from central office area.
White boys, colored boys, white girls
and colored girls each will have
separate wing. The building will be
constructed of logs.
Details to Be Decided.
Leon Grant, w. P. A. engineer, Is
drawing the plans and specifications
but will not complete the interior
plans until after conferences with the
Board of Public Welfare and Mrs.
Ernest R. Grant of the District Tuber-
culoSis Association. The board and
Mrs. Grant will decide whether to
leave the wings as single large wards
or to divide them into smaller indi-
vidual rooms.
Cleary said that W. P. A. labor can
be made available within 4S hours
after final approval of the plans.
