The democratic national committee meets today to select a keynote speaker and a permanent chairman for the nominating convention in June.
 Postmaster General James A. Farley, national chairman, who ar- rived yesterday, predicted that the committee would select the key noter within half an hour" The committee also will arrive at a recommendation" for permanent chairman within an equally short time, he said.
 The chairman nominally will be elected by the convention. Actual ly, 1t was believed, the convention will accept the committees rec ommendation.
 Observers believed the committee would choose Sen. Alben w. Bark ley, D., Ky, as the keynoter, and Sen. Joseph Robinson, D., Ark, as permanent chairman. Robinson was Alfred E. Smiths running mate in the 19228 democratic campaign and his elevation would serve to de- preciate the anticipated convention revolt of Smith and other demo- crats not in agreement with the administration.
 The committee will plan other details of the convention, where President Roosevelt's renomination is considered foregone conclusion.

DETECTIVE SHOT
 INNOCENT WOMAN

Little Neck, N. Y, April 25.-UP) Charles E. Wiggen, New York de- partment store buyer, stopped his car at the road side early today. An- other car stopped and one of the two men in it asked him if he was lost. He said, "No," and drove off quickly, thinking of bandits. A min- ute later a shot rang out, broke the glass in the back of his car, and entered the head of Mrs. Wig gen, 32. Wiggen stopped the car. The two men drove up again and identified themselves as Joseph Murray and Matthew A. Simmons, Nassau county detectives.
 Mrs. Wiggen was taken to/a hos pital, where it was expected that she would die. Murray and Sim mons claimed they identified them selves as policemen before Wiggen drove of. They said they thought Wiggen was a bandit and that his wife and Mrs. William Pollen, his sister-in-law, were decoys. Wiggen demanded their arrest. He said they had never identified themselves and had acted strangely enough to justify his fear of bandits. Nassau county authorities did not decide immediately what action to take.

Army I9 Key Position

Rome, April 25.-(UP).-Authorita- tive reports said today that the Ital- ian army had occupied Sasa Baneh, key position on the way to the vital Harar-Jijiga area in eastern Ethi- opia.
 Sasa Baneh is 105 miles southeast of Jijiga, on the main caravan route northWard.
 It is not town really, but a vitally important group of water wells, and thus the center of large region in the Ogaden country
 Today's report was sequel to re- ports last night that the Italians had taken Daggah Bur, some g miles north of Sasa Baneh. Unofii- cial, though authorized reports said that a motorized column under Gen. Vittorio Verne took the town. Verne commands the Tevere di- viison of fascist militiamen, which includes many Italians who came from the United States to volun- teer.
 Daggah Bur was known to be strongly fortified, and the reports said that it was taken as pre- liminary to the occupation of Sasa Baneh.
 It was announced officially that the Italians in the north had com- pleted their encirclement of Lake Tana, source of the Blue Nile and of incalculable importance to Great Britain's Sudan-Egypt irrigation project, by occupying Bahr-DDar Ghiogis, at the lakes southern tip.

BOY WAS FREED
 IN MURDER CASE

Selmer, Ten, April 25-U.P0- Frail, 16-year-old Oscar Hamm got up before dawn to do the chores on his Aunt Alice's farm today. He wanted her to know that he was grateful because she didn't blame him for killing his Uncle Perry. Gear killed his uncle, Perry Hamm, with an axe last Monday because he thought the 59-year-old farmer was going to give him another of the beatings that had ben his lot al- most daily since he was 3 years old. County authorities didn't hear about it until Wednesday and Aunt Alice, the slain mans widow, convinced them at Oscars arraignment yes- terday that they should keep hands off.

(Continued from Page 1.) said date, always in an executive capacity and frequently performing the usual duties of an employe of such an institution.
 In the conduct of said business the claimant has at times employed a bartender who has worked with him and at other times he has con- ducted the business alone.
 The claimant has given practical ly his entire time daily from 9 a. m. until Il or 12 D. m. to the conduct of the said business.
 The claimant has had entire charge and supervision of the said business in the buying of beer and other supplies sold therein, in ad- dition to doing the work usually performed by 8 bartender.
 Mike Vicari worked for the claim ant as a bartender from November 21st, 1885 to January 4th, 1886 and for his services he received the sum of 5000 per week. One Alice Ira wis worked for the claimant for ap- proximately two months after Jam uary 9th or 7th and for the ser- vices rendered she received the sum of 5000 per week. On March 25th, 1886 one Paul Zuraw went to work for the claimant as a bartender and 1t was agreed that he was to receive as wages IS per cent of the amount of beer sold. The amounts paid to Paul as shown by the books kept by the claimant are $3.75 and SAYS.
 In view of all the circumstances surrounding the claimants tavern business, and in view of the nature of the duties performed by him therein, I find that his own services to said business are reasonably worth $500 per week, and his com- pensation rate should be proportion ately reduced.
 At the time the claimant was in jured his average weekly wage was $32.95 per week. He is now entitled to one-half the difference between $15.0O and that sum, which is $8.98 per week.

traced the eternal city'S boundary with his rude blow 2,689 years ago.
 Flow of Latest Type
 He used blow of latest type, cheered by authorities assembled for the ceremony and great crowd of peasants of the area.
 It was a symbolic blowing. Mount ed on new Italian made motor blow, Mussolini drove alone around a circle about 100 feet in diameter to mark the site of the town hall. He showed mastery of the blow, and the peasants broke into chores
 Lays Cornerstone
 After the blowing, Mussolini laid the corner stone of the town hall, preserving for future generations his feeling of bitterness over league penalties by inserting a reminder of the penalties, in sealed lead pipe in the corner stone.
 The ground was muddy from an all night rain and it was cloudy but 1t did not rain during the cere- mony.
 Many automobiles of Mussolini's party stuck in the mud and were pushed out by the peasants.
 Mussolini wore the uniform of a corporal in the fascist militia, his favorite.

 is that it recognize the straits of real estate owners.
 Gov. Hoffman Refused
 Authorities of many municipalities did not share his optimism. Appeals for help poured into Trenton by mail and wire from scores of communities facing deficits. Assemblyman Will liam P. Howe, Jr., of Mercer county appealed on behalf of cities of his county for diversion of $2,000,000 of state funds to relief. Gov. Harold G. Hoffman refused.
 In an address to Belleville high school students the governor said that some persons have the idea that the government owes them a living. The carpet-baggers had that idea, and nearly ruined a section of our country" The state fell into its relief crisis because the legislature repealed 8 Hoffman-sponsored sales tax last year and did not provide substitute revenue. The governor told the legislators last week, before they left their capitol chambers to unemployed campers, that he still believed the sales tax the most prac- tical way to finance relief. The state treasury, he said, is empty.
 Less Horseplay
 There was less horseplay among the group in the assembly chamber today, but a larger crowd. Forty men slept in the chamber last night, with their heads pillowed on as- semblymen's desks and their shoes in neat rows in the aisles.
 Merchants solicited by an "as- sembly committee" provided sup per last night of potato salad, baked beans, sandwiches and coffee. With silently lifted hands they unani- mously adopted a resolution charg- ing the legislature with the death Tuesday of one of their number, George w. Elhaff, Trenton. The resolution said that, sick of bron- chial pneumonia, he was unable to obtain proper medical aid.

formed by the accused in his South Main street office here.
 What Defense May Be
 In his cross-examination of state witnesses, particularly several nurses at St. Francis hospital, Hartford, Attorney Mascolo hinted that at least part of the defense would be based on a contention that the Silva girl was too i'll and too much under the influence of drugs to know what she was doing when she signed two death-bed statements duplicating the doctor and when she pointed him out to Coroner John T. Mon- zani at a hearing in her hospital room.
 Mystery Status
 A mystery" status in the case Is held by Daniel Laveri, 2l, of Bark hamsted, who is free on bonds Of $5,00O on 8 manslaughter charge, the state accusing him of bringing the girl to the doctors office. Laveri was arrested on a bench warrant the day before the trial began. He has not yet been out to plea.
 Deathbed Statements
 The state bases much of its case on two death-bed statements signed by the Silva girl. One of them was written by Trooper William Landon of the state police in his report book, and signed by the girl after It had been read to her. The other was written by Trooper Patrick G. OToole and was signed once on each of it's two pages by the girl. In addition secured the admission into evidence of transcript of a hearing held at the dying girls bed- side by Coroner John T. Monzani. The doctor was brought into the room, and the Silva girl pointed to him as the doctor who had operated on her.
 The trial may not even end this week. since numerous defense wit nesses are to be called. and an entire day will be taken up with the arguments of opposing counsel and the charge by Judge Earnest Q. simpson to the jury hearing the case.

Suspecting his room was not being

He expected the match would be

five weeks later the nice little match
had not been disturbed.
Without making any complaint, he
