YOUTH ADMITS STABBING GIRL TO HER DEATH Chicago Youth Says He Killed Her Rather Than Be Separated Chicago, July 20. — (U.R) —Joseph Gornik held the body of his 19-year-old sweetheart across his lap last night, kissed her, and then drove the three-inch blade of his pocket knife deep into her left breast. It was a suicide pact, he told police later, but the girl, Mary Lukavich, was too weakend by her wound to do more than cut ; his shirt when she took the weapI on. latter, when she pleaded with him to end her pain, he plunged i the blade into her heart. Before I she died in his arms she asked him I to kiss her again and he did, Gornik said in his confession. The two were sitting in a clump of bushes in a parkway, he said, when the girl asked, "why don’t we die?" The girl's death followed an argument earlier in the evening when Gornik became enraged at Frederick Boltz, who warned him to keep away from Miss Lukavich. He struck Boltz in the face, he told police, and then walked on with his sweetheart to his home where he obtained the knife. Gornik and the dead girl had not ; seen each other regularly for several weeks as her mother objected to the youth because he never had held a steady job. Last night she told him she still loved him and that there was nothing more for them in life if they were separated. The death pact followed. Gornik located a doctor after he had first stabbed the girl and told him he would bring her to him. He returned to the parkway to find her writhing in , ain, later to die.

'■O'- — X-RAY BOUGHT BY HOSPITAL Demonstrations of Three Different Machines Are Given Friday A Kelly-Koett X-ray machine was purchaeed this morning by the board of trustees of the Adame county memorial hospital. The compjny ie located at Covington, Kentucky. Un addition to this ma- hine a General Electric and a Western Electric machine were demonstrated. The one (purchased Is of the latest type of ehockproof equipment which results in the utmost safety to th? patients. The work can be done without disturbing the patient. X-ray pictures were being snapped Friday at about the rate of one every ID minutes at the Adams county memorial hospital. Before a deAion was made by the board it was necessary for them to see negatives of every sort of an X-ray picture. The men from the manufacturing companies have demonstrated the machine from ideal conditions in a special room. They have also shown the working of the machine on patients who can not be moved from their beds. All of the machines have wheels and m iy be r ushed into the elevator for use on various floors of the hospital. They may be attached into any of the electric light plugs. Tha demonstrators showed that they could take a picture and iproduce a negative in from seven to 10 minutes. This speed is used only when an immediate operation or

treatment is required. An ordinary picture takes from 10 to 15 minutes. , Negatives developed in this manner | will last for years. Among these X-rayed at the bospital were Louise Fleming, six months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Fleming of north of ' town. The girl was injured in an automobile accident on July 9. The 1 negative showed that she was re--1 covering nicely and that she did not have a skull fracture at first feared. The girl’s head was packed in ice to reduce the pain and injury. Judson Evans of this city, who was injured when accidentally shot by a 22 caliber automatic rifle was X-rayed. Th? negative* showed that th? injury was not serious. Henry B. Heller. Adams county; attorney, was found to be in a satis- j factory condition, when an X-ray was taken of him. He was operated on two weeks ago. 0 Over Thousand Are Arrested In Paris Paris, July 20 —(UP) —Civil ser-1 vants, war pensioners, teachers, | railway men and other workers an- j nounced today their intension of continuing demonstrations against I government wage 'cuts in defiance i of premier Pierre LaVal’s iban on public manifestations.

ITALIANS FLEE NATION RATHER THAN JOIN ARMY Mussolini Protests Fighting Speech By Abyssinian Ruler (Copyright 1935 by UP.) Vienna, July 20.— (U.R) — Italians are fleeing by scores daily across the Jugoslavian amd Austrian frontiers to escape army service, the United Press learned today. Coupled with news of ‘the desertions were reports from refugees of important Italian military movements on the Jugoslavian border and construction of trenches which might be used if Austria. Europe's diplomatic heart, involved its neighbor nations In war. A series of telephone messages to key points on the frontiers resulted in information that at many points Italians, apparently mostly of Slovent or German descent, were slipping across the frontiers, singly and in groups, to avoid conscription for war against Ethiopia. Reliable sources on the Jugoslavian side of the northeastern frontier of Italy estimated that more thaji 900 Italians had crossed the frontier there. Most of them were of Slovene origin. Protest Speech Rome, July 20.—(U.R) —The Italian government has instructed Its minister at Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, to protest strongly against the speech made on July 18 by Emperor Haile Selassie 1. Foreign office officials declared the speech created a serious situation in Ita.lo-Ethiopian relations. Before deciding on the protest, Premier Benito Mussolini considered the text of the emperor’s speech as transmitted by the Italian minister to Ethiopia and compared it with newspaper versions. He found the minister's text more provocative in nature than the press reports, it was understood. The foreign office did not reveal what satisfaction if any Italy was demanding in its protest.- It de‘nied emphatically the emperor’s ! charge that Italy had had designs on Ethiopia for 40 years and pointI ed out the heavy troop movements I to East Africa were not even considered until after the Ualual and ‘ other frentier incidents in which Ethiopians allegedly attacked Italian settlements. Italian and Ethiopian relations as a result of the government’s action were exceedingly strained and the crisis was considered the most dangerous to date. Refuses Demands (Copyright 1935 by UP.) London, Ju.'y 20.-—(U.PJ — Great Britain lia.s refused bluntly to accede to Italian demands for complete overlordship in Ethiopia and insists that any settlement be based on the Briand-Kellogg anti-war pact as well as other treaties, it was said on reliable authority today. Italy persistently has demanded complete political domination of the ancient empire in secret negotiations, it was said, and Great Britain has as persistency refused
