family of four, suddenly made eight,

Mrs. KaSpar was in remarkably
good condition today and expected

within 10 days. She was little
happier than her husband although
she was plainly shocked when DR..

to four babies instead of the twins
she had expected. Papa Kaspar
staggered when he was told.
That's big news" he gasped.
Then he wandered dazedly off to
work.

GENEVA, May 11.-Baron
Pompeo Aloisi, chief Italian
delegate, today quit the
League of Nations council
table rather than sit with
Wolde Marian, Ethiopian
delegate.
Aloisi refused also to discuss the
Italo-E Ethiopian conflict, on the
grounds that such discussion would
be without meaning" in view of the
Italian contention that the only SOW
ereign Ethiopian government is that
of Italy.
Aloisi was back in his seat for the
public meeting which convened fol-
a discussion of routine questions
His return indicated that Italy in
tends to remain in the League al
though denying its right to inter-
vene in behalf of Ethiopia.
The council, despite Aloisis bolt
seated the Ethiopian, who is min
lister to Paris.
Il can not accept the presence OF
delegates of the so-called Ethiopian
government" Aloisi said as he strobe
from the ROOM
All members of the Italian dele
cation followed Aloisi.
Discussion Is Delayed
Council members earlier had
agreed to postpone discussion on the
Italo-E Ethiopian conflict and Ger
many's denunciation of the Locarnc
Treaty until the extraordinary ses-
sion scheduled to convene about
June Is.
The Italians acted when it was
made clear that Marian would SIT
at the council table itself if The
Italo- Ethiopian case were brought
up for discussion.
Aloisi expressed the italian posi-.
ton briefly, saying:
II have the honor to state thai
the Italian delegation can not adj
NIT the presence at the Council
table of the so-called ethiopian
delegation. In effect, no semblance
to the Ethiopian state exists. The
only sovereign Ethiopian govern
ment is that of Italy.
Eden Invites Philippians
In consequence, all discussion of
the Italio- Ethiopian difference is
without meaning. I therefore find
myself under obligation not to par
ticipate."
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden, replying to Aloisi's OBJ
jections to sitting with Marian and
to inclusion of the Italio-E Ethiopian
conflict on the council agenda,
said:
II invite the Ethiopian delegate
to take place at the council table
for discussion of this question"
Salvador De Madariaga of Spain
and NJ Munich of Denmark sup
ported Eden. All other council men,
bers agreed. Observers interpreted
the Councils invitation 10 Marian
and its willingness to provoke the
Italian withdrawal as formal recog-
milton that Ethiopia remains a
sovereign state and a member of
the League.

ACCEPTS RATE
ASKED BY CITY
Willing to Pay 1924 a Mile
for Streets Used by
TraCkleSS Cars.
AGREE ON LINE MERGER
Boards Proposed Routing
of Minnesota -LincoIn-st
Service Accepted.

The indianapolis Railways Inc. is
willing to sign the contract for a
permanent trackless trolley fran
chise proposed by the city Works
Board, Arthur L. Gilliom, utility at
torney, said today.
AS recommended by City Engineer
Henry B. Steeg, the board proposes
that the company pay $324.76 a mile
annually for use of streets over
which it operates trackless trolleys
The utility had offered to pay $275
mile.
The board also specified combin-
ing the Lincoln-st and Minnesota st
Car lines, but not over the route sug-
gested by company officials. The
cltys proposed route, now accepted
by the company, is south in Easiest
to Minnesota-st, east in Minnesota
st to Ringgold-st, south in Ring
eold-st to Pleasant Run-blvd, north
drive, and east in Pleasant Run
blvd to Shelby-st. South Side citi-
zens and civit organizations objected
to this plan at hearings.
Other features of the contract
provide:
The company must keep all equip
ment repaired. 1t can abandon lines
only with the Works Boards per-
mission. The Board has the power
to force the company to remove two
miles of rail year.
Other Franchise Provisions
If the company refuses to remove
the track, the city may do the work
and sell the old rails. The COM
pany must keep the pavement be-
tween its tracks in repair.
Mr.. Gilliom said that although
the company was not in favor of all
the citys proposals the contract was
generally acceptable and would be
signed
If signed, the contract must wait
for the ratification of the CITY
Council, which meets next Monday
night.
AAAS acceptance Vi Vic Olby
fer ends long period of negotiation
and jockeying over rates. The new
contract would become effective
as of March 26, Robert K. Eby,
board vice president, said.
Opposed by South Siders
South Side property owners also
objected to the utility's proposal to
run the Lincoln Minnesota line
from the present terminus of the
Lincoln line at East and Lincoln SITS
through Leonard, Palmer and
Shelby-sts to Minnesota st. The
property owners said the streets
were too narrow on this route.
When the utility began changing
street car lines to trackless trolley
lines in October. 1882, it obtained
temporary franchise from the city.
1t provided that the utility pay
per cent of reconstruction and 10
per cent of resurfacing costs on
streets used by the trolleyS.
The company's program calls for
49, miles of trackleSs trolleys by the
end of this year.
