Barton wired the foreign office
that he would stand fast until the

Await Word Of Americans
There was no word specifically
Of Cornelius Van H. Engert, Amer
lean minister, and his staff of four
American Navy wireless experts,
missionaries, business men and two
newspaper correspondents - Ben

Other American press correspond

Foreign Secretary Eden left for
bennington to keep an engagement
to speak tonight-a speech which
may be one of international mo-
ment.
1t was made known that British
information was that Emperor
Halle Selassie did not abdicate be-
fore he fled. The British govern
ment will continue to regard him
as the head of the state, at least
so long as he is on Ethiopian soil.
Halle Issues Statement
The Emperor told United Press
correspondent Ames yesterday:

that is not significant. I shall estab-
lish new seat of government and
shall be in communication with the
outside world. shall never enter
direct negotiations with the Italians
for peace-only through the League
of Nations. Ethiopia is not suing
for peace. I will never surrender
-Jamais!"
The British legation compound is
a short distance out of the capital
on its eastern side. Since the war
started, the British government has
been strengthening it. The sikhs
rushed there from India all are
picked fighting men of the army.
They have put many miles of barbed
wire entanglements round and round
the walled compound.
Thousands of sand bags were sent
to the legation from Egypt and the
Sudan and filled to provide addi-
tional protection against fire from
outside.
Family Believed With Him
British information indicated
that the Emperor was accompanied
not only by Queen Mennen and the
little Duke of Harar, his second
and favorite son, and the Emperors
daughters, but by Asia Wosen, the
Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince
accompanied him, this would smash
Italian hopes that, often regarded
as estranged from the Emperor, he
might submit and be a puppet I'M
der an Italian overlordship.
1t was rumored that the chief
tain Ras Kassa, the Emperor's SON.
in-law, and Blattan Getta Herouy,
the foreign minister, were on the
royal special train.
British authorities will regard the
emperor's reign as terminated in
fact, if not legally, if he crosses the
frontier into French Somaliland.
Britons expect that it will take
the Italians many months to pacify
Ethiopia, but organized defense,

WILLIAMS FINDS
NATIVES MORBID
Reason: If Brevity Wins
Derby May Become
Darby, He Says.
Continued From Page One)

in the presence of Hard Boot you
had better be quick on the draw. A
mere smile when you say the word
is not likely to do much good.
One-Man Campaign
For the past several years Mr..
Joe E. Widener, the glossy Eastern
er, who owns Brevity, has been
conducting vigorous one-man
campaign to change the pronunci-
alton of Derby to Darby. He even
went so far as to import the cur
rent replica of the original Lord
Derby from London who in a for
NAL statement notified the Hard
Boots that really, after all and Pip,
Pip, Old Top, Darby is the word,
don't you know.
The Hard Boots remained singu-
larly unimpressed, much to Mr..
Widener's chagrin, and when his
Lordship had finished they gave
vent to series of short Snorts,
which when translated into Blue
Grass English meant the equivalent
of "Sez you'll" and "Nertz!" 1t was
very embarrassing all around and
stressed anew the futility of the
missionary's life.
Still undaunted, Mr.. Widener in
augurated his own Derby, or rather
Darby, in Florida, but his efforts
to educate the heather Crackers
were correspondingly disastrous
with the result he finally decided to
discontinue the race altogether, ex-
planning, There is only one Darby.
the Kentucky Darby"
Academic Discussion
Never having won the Kentucky
classic up to now, Mr.. Widener has
not been in position to give his
crusade the note of authority it
needs. Which is to say he has been
able to discuss the subject only
from an academic point of view. If
Brevity wins, Mr.. Widener will be
ipso facto the nations spokesman
for the Derby, or Darby, for at least
II months, and the mere thought
of this possibility has practically
desolated the Hard Boots. 1t should
be noted that no other form of
human life is burdened with such
tremendous capacity for desola-
ton as the Kentucky Hard Boot,
especially wheE the chilling tremors
are provoked by bleak Derby out
look. In such a mood he becomes
a cross between a Tolstoy character
and a man who has just missed
five-horSe parlay by nose.
The knowledge that Mr.. Widener
can put more tone and color into
the word Darby than any other liv-
ing American, plus the fact that it
is his favorite word, doesn't do any,
thing to help the situation either.
The punishment people submit to
in order to see large sports event,
particularly the Derby, becomes in
creasingly mystifying. They travel
long distances. pay excessive prices
for hotel accommodations, food, cab
service and the incidental pleasure
offerings. They are jostled in the
streets. manhandled at the track,
some do not even get close enough
to see the running of the race.
Why Do They Do 1t.
When it is over they wait hours
for transportation back to town, or
they walk, as thousands are forced
to do every year. And naturally
only small percentage can have
the compensatory comfort Of being
on the winning horse.
Year after year you hear the
cry. II wouldn't 60
through this again for million
bucks" But always the same crowd
is back with thousands OF added
starters.

reports the estimates were worked
out on the basis of census figures
and percentages which The Sun
said "have held good since 1890"
The Sun denounced as "prepos-
ferrous" the recent statement of
President William Green of the

are without normal work. 1t called
on Mr.. Green to make public exact

WASHINGTON, May e
Rep. Finly H. Gray has a bad
case of postoffice filters.

election Tuesday without his con-
stituents in Union City and Muncie

The long-haired Tenth District

two towns he wants to avoid just
now.
In each he has given women tenn
porary appointments as acting post
master and the fight is on among
the men for the permanent job. Ten

City postmastership, but only two
have been certified for appointment.
Wants to Avoid Them
They are Bert Woodbury. and
Orvah Hindsley. So any day nov
Mr.. Gray expects either the Wood
bury boosters or the Hindsley srp-
porters to descend on him here. f,ut
he would like to avoid them on mis-
trip home. He is afraid that if ne
gets into that controversy, combired
with five-faction fight for the per-
manent postmastership at Muncie,
he will not have time even to vote.
Just say this for me-" Mr.. Gray
advised, II will return to Indiana
and vote, if legislation here permits,
but I am coming back on the first
train"
Neither Senator Frederick VAN
Mugs nor Senator Sherman Minton

Mr.. Jackson addressed delegates
to the union state convention in

Mr.. Coy was unable to appear at
the meeting.

Urging independent political ac-

recommended that the convention
go on record as advocating the for
nation of a Farmer Labor Party.
Referring to the primaries, he
said. II suggest that wherever pos

the polling places with such slogans
as The old parties are unfair to the

Mass action among locals of the
union "for an adequate appropria-
ton to continue the works program
and against any more layoffs," was
suggested by Mr.. Jackson.

up with the old parties and want
to aid in the formation of new

Mr.. Coy said in part: IT have
followed with interest the attempts
of the workers on WPA to organize.
1t was an uphill business. The
Works Progress Administration of
Indiana has in no way hindered
such organizing, neither has it lent
Its assistance.
Privilege of Citizens
ITO organize is the privilege of
any American citizen. To decline to

CONSTRUCTION JOBS
WILL BE ENCOURAGED

| In planning Works Progress Admin
istration construction jobs for the fis-
cal year 1887, sponsors will be en-
eouraged by State Administrators to
submit projects which are susceptible
of termination on short notice in order
to provide flexible operating schedules.
This announcement was made by
Harry L. Hopkins, WPA Administra-
tor, in an official communication to
state administrators from Washington
q. G.
Within this limitation, hopkins
stated, construction projects should be
selected for operation according to the
following prlnclpIes:
First-any construction project
nich is vi desirable character and
suited to the program and the COM
pietlon OF which can be definitely for
seen ny December III, 1885.
Secona-a limited number of desir-
able construction projects, the compile
tlon OF which will fall between Janu-
airy i and March l, 1887. These are
to be dovetailed with the first group
ing and scheduled to completion if nee
essary by possible closing of projects
In the first group.
Third-ln vlcn of the fact that u.
funds provided in the Emergency Re-
lief Appropriation Act of 1896 are a.
valuable for expenditure only until
June 80, 1887, no construction project
should under any circumstances be
placed in operation unless the compile
tion af the entire project or a useful
part thereof can be definitely forseen
by that date.
Hopkins urged careful thought be
given to the question of making pro-.
vision for carrying On the Works Pro-
gram through the coming winter
months stating that definite planning
to this end should be started at this
time.
