A newspaper dispatch from Djibouti, French Somaliland, said that the Empress Memen and her second son Prince Makonnen, Duke of Harar, had fled Addis Ababa for the west, to take refuge. Dispatches from Dessye reported that Crown Prince Asia Wosan, long estranged from the emperor, was on his way to Dessye. Italians hoped that he might be going to make contact, through some of the Azebo- Gala chieftains who are friendly to Italy, with Marshal Pietro Badoglio. (Other reports said that Asia Wosan was on his way to fight the Ital- ianS.)
 One Report on Prince
 The Dessye dispatches said that the price left point south of Dcs- sye Saturday with a personal escort of 2,000 warriors, and that 1t was believed he would sue for peace. His mission, these Italian reports said, had the support of the empress and of the head of the Coptic Chris tiar church, the Abuna of Ethiopia.
 In northern Ethiopia, advance guards of two Italian divisions were reported to have reached the vicin- ity of Ankober and Debra Brehan, and another Italian unit was re- ported to be crossing the Robi river.
 Ankober is 77 1-2 miles east north east of Addis Ababa on one of the two main caravan routes from Des- sye. It is also 40 miles north of Awash, important railway town whose capture would cut the Addis Ababa- Djibouti railway.
 Debra Brehan is g miles west northwest of Ankober and 68 1-2 miles northeast of Addis Ababa.
 The Robi river flows northeast of Ankober.
 Movements of these columns would indicate a threefold drive for Addis Ababa, from Debra Brehan; Awash, from Ankober, and the rail-

(Continued from Page 1) came the report that leaders were seeking to nominate Bingham and the race sirnmered down to Mallon, Bingham and Higgins.
 Today 1t was learned an attempt was being made to have all coun- ties converge for the nomination Of Bingham thereby eliminating any contest in the congressional con- vention.
 Mallon Agreeable
 Nr .Mallon, a leader in republican circles in New London and vicinity told the United Press today he wdUld be glad to step aside in favor of Bingham.
 T am solidly in back of Hiram Bingham" he said. Tn fact shall do all can toward his nomination. !"
 Two years ago, Bingham fiatly re- fused to seek nomination. Dur ing his recent brief stay in Salem when he addressed audiences at Norwich and Middletown, 1t is un- derstood, leaders put the matter to him and he consented to make q fight, if necessary to secure the nomination. On the Middletown speaking program with the former senator was Mallon. The latter as- sured Bingham that he would gladly step aside in his favor.
 Has Been Stumping
 Throughout Connecticut's Tercen- tenary celebration, the tall, silver haired statesman made many ad- dresses throughout the district and in other sections of the state. Since, he has been mentioned prominently as . vice-presidential candidate. One prominent republican recently pub ncly urged the Connecticut delega- ton to Cleveland in June to cast their first ballot for Bingham for president to let them know i've have in Connecticut a man of presidential timber"
 The former explorer, world war aviator, author, senator and present head of the American Aeronautical Association, served for a day as gov- ernor of Connecticut and then went on to the United States senate to which he was chosen at a special election following closely the gub- ernatortal election. He served in the United States Senate from 1924 to 1885 when he was defeated by sen- ator Augustine Lonergan.

 Hot brandy and concentrated soup, lowered in tubes through the pipe buoyed them somewhat. And at 9:15 a. m. they were tremendous ly cheered by the fact that they could hear the rescue workers tun- neling furiously toward their prison.
 How much longer do you think we'll have to wait?" Scadding plead ed over little microphone that was lowered to them so that they could conserve their waning energy by not having to shout up the pipe.
 c. H. Ivey, brother-in-law of Dr. Robertson, was at tn eother end of the circuit.
 He told them only an hour more. But neither Ivey nor anyone else on the surface dared hope that 1t would be that soon.
 There still was probably 30 feet of rock to penetrate. At 10:30 a. n., however, Robertson, talking to his wife, was more hopeful and said they could hang on 10 or 12 hours or perhaps longer.
 Wife Comforts One
 Tears streaming down her face, her voice choked by torturing fears and hopes, Mrs. Robertson spoke into the microphone.
 Eddie, Eddie, they're coming.
 'Tt's Pauline. We're coming. Hold on darling"
 You bet, dear" the doctor re- piled, trying to calm her. We're all right. If they can get a fellow here in 10 or 12 hours or even longer, we'll be okay."
 Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Magill had been at the mine top for days. They were asleep when the pipe was put through last night. When they awoke this morning, Mrs. Magill was told that almost the first news to come up 1t was that her hus- band was dead, that only Mrs. Rob- ertson could hope any longer.

 quarters admitted it had connection with the Wendell Kidnapping. Schloss- man, a dapper young married man, signed confession at 10 o'clock last night, Geoghan said, that confirmed in every detail Wendel's charge that he was hustled into an automobile on a New YorK street last Feb. IA and tortured in a Brooklyn house for 10 days before he signed con- fession that he kidnapped and mlr-i dered Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. Publication of the confession, which Wendell has repudiated, delayed the execution of Bruno Richard Haupt- mann three days.
 GeOghan Keeps Silent
 Geoghan was asked whether Schlossman's confession indicated that he was employed by New Jer- sey officials who opposed Haupt- mann's execution. T prefer not to answer that question at this time," Geoghan said. When asked about reports that he would request Gov. Harold c. Hoffman of New Jersey to appear before the grand jury or submit to questioning by investi- gators, he said: T have no intention at this time of asking the governor to come here. am srlre that if we ask that governor for help he will gladly and willingly supply It. Geoghan said that a house near Sheepshead bay ir Brooklyn had been positively identified as the place where Wendell was imprisoned. Schlossman, he said, resolved pre- vious doubts of the Identification by admitting that he had attempted to disguise the place by tearing out Q partition in the basement, refloor- ing it with concrete and altering furnishings.
 No One Implicated
 Schlossman Gid not duplicate any one else in his confession, the dis trict attorney said, but Wendell had identified two missing men-Murray Bleefeld, 30, and Harry Weiss, 30- from photographs, and it was noted that the police airplane expedition to Detroit was organized immed- lately after SchlosSman confessed.
 Wendell, once disbarred Trenton attorney free in bail while awaiting trial on New Jersey embeZzlement charges, participated for three hours in cross examination of Schlossman. He was smiling widely when he left Geoghan's office.
 After Wendell had "confessed' the Lindbergh Kidnapping in New York he was taken by motor car to the home of Ellis Parker, Burlington county, N. J., detective chief, and then kept nearly 8 month in the New Lisbon, N. J., home for feeble minded men before he was charged with the crime in Mercer county. Parker was Governor Hoffman's chief aide in the fight to save Hauptmann.

 Copyright 1856 by United Press) l Adds Ababa, April 20-(UP)-- The government rushed stores of gun cotton out along the road to Dessye today, planning to blow up bridges over cascades and to block mountain roads in the path of the Italian advance. Natives, dazed and panic stricken, began to evacuate the city, believing the arrival of Italian troops was imminent. Motor lorries roared unceasingly through the city, normal life was suspended. The road from Dessye was crowded with motor trucks from the front, and tattered, flying fugitives from the Ethiopian army.
 Bhlata Tekala, mayor of the city, tried to rally to him the mob of 5000 nondescript warriors, some armed only with swords or spears, who pledged themselves in a wildly cheering demonstration yesterday to defend the city
 The government issued what arms 1t had.
 Women sought to take their places with their men.
 Better to Die
 "All able men must make last stand for liberty" said a govern ment appeal to the people. Tt is better to die than to be enslayed. The spirit of Aduwa still lives" Gt was at Aduwa in 1898 that Ethiop- ians slaughtered an Italian army)
 Refugees sought to leave for the coast by train.
 Foreigners of many nationalitieS besieged the bomb proofed British lgeation for shelter. Americans pre- pared to take refuge there if neces- sary, by order of American Minister Cornelius Van H. Engert.
 Leaders Encouraged Reports that the Italians had not yet reached Ankober on their way to the capital encouraged govern ment leaders to believe that the fall of the city was not imminent, and they suggested that Italian propa- gandists were trying to stir alarm. Telephonic communication was maintained with Harar and the gov ernment believed Ras Nassibu would meet the Italian advance at a fa- vorable position on the Erroa river. The panic flight of the populace continued in a steady flow of goods, animals and people. The govern ment remained in being here.
 Cash Taken Away
 Large boxes of cash belonging to Ethiopian banks left for the coast on today's train. The bank opened but would not cash drafts for pound sterling. Houseboys and servants gathered to leave for the front and try to repel the invaders. Caches of obsolete rifles, which the govern ment had taken in from warriors to whom 1t issued new ones, were brought out and distributed. The ancient brass cannon captured at Aduwa in 1896 when Ethiopian war riors slaughtered an Italian army, were pressed into service.

LOUIS M'HENRY
 HOWE IS DEAD
(Continued from Page I.)

AANAA < N6S AE died quietly Saturday night in the naval hospital where he had been a patient since last fall. His death was personal blow to the chief executive, for Howe was his politi- cal mentor for an unbroken period 25 years. His passing means that for the first time since he entered pulp lie life as an obscure state senator from the rock-ribbed republican County of Duchess in New York, MT. Roosevelt enters the next cam paign without the counsel of the one individual whose advice he val ued above all others.
 Funeral Tomorrow
 A White House announcement said funeral services would be held at 4 p. m. tomorrow in the east room of the White House. Mrs. Howe and her son, Hartley, arrived at the White House last night from Fall River, Mass, and conferred with MT. Roosevelt on funeral plans. Although no announcement was made as to plans, 1t was expected burial would be at Fall River, HoWe's home, and that the Pres ident and Mrs. Roosevelt would fol- low the coffin to the grave, probably Wednesday. It is no secret that even James A. Farley, democratic na- tional chairman and trusted party lieutenant, never enjoyed the inti- macy nor dared project the criticism that was Howe's.
 President VIII Feel It
 So far as democratic party for tunes go, the death of Howe was not expected to have broad effect. To the president, however, the loss, it was believed, would be reflected when the time comes to sit down and map out the strategy of coming political battle. Known as the med ieval gnome" because of his dwarf cd and careless appearance, Howe, nevertheless, won the respect and admiration of those with whom he dealt. He "knew" people. His devo- tion to Franklin Roosevelt had no limitations and he gloried in the job of buffer. Howe joined MT. Roose- welt when the latter was in the New York legislature and flghting Tam many Hall. Later he came to Wash ington when his chief was named assistant secretary of the navy by President Wilson.
 Howe Sat At Bedside
 When MT. Roosevelt was stricken with infantile paralysis at Campo Bello, N. B., Howe sat night after night at the bedside, read to his pa tient and buoyed him with the phIl- osophy that man might be down but he is never out. Illness struck the little secretary down soon after he came to Washington as first sec retary to President Roosevelt. A year ago he was SO i'll that doctors gave him up, said nothing more could be done. Az they gathered at his bcd- side awaiting the end. he opened his eyes and remarked:
 Whats the crowd for? Give me cigaret"
 From then on he appeared to mend slowly but physicians shook their heads and said 1t was just a matter Of time. When the White House was being repaired last Oc- tober he was taken to the naval hosplell where he died.
