U. S. COMPANY CANCELS DEAL IN ABYSSINIA Roosevelt Expresses Satisfaction At Concession Cancellation Hyde Park, N. Y„ Sept. 4—(U.R) : —Cancellation of the Standard Oil leases in Ethiopia wae described today by President RooseI velt as "ajiother proof that since j March 4, 1933, dollar diplomacy is Ino longer recognized by the ■ American government.” The chief executive outlined his i tenet of new deal foreign pqlicy as he received newspapermen in the little cubby hole executive office at the summer White House I here. ' Furthermore. Mr. Roosevelt emphasized that by no stretch of I Imagination has the President or the secretary of state been in tin- least bit concerned over the possibility of the oil lease involving the United States in Ethiopian I or Italian policies. No one who knows this admin--1 istration's policies, he said, could : think that there could be an involving. The only danger lay. he ■ explained, in the effect of the oil leases on th? Geneva conference. The result of yesterday in the withdrawal of American interests r rom the situation cleared the air. 1 in his opinion. Mr. Roosevelt last night receiv--led by long distance telephone word from Secretary of State Cordell Hull that the lease had been I cancelled. At that time he was I represented as being greatly • pleased.

Fragmentary Reports Disclose Storm Toll May Exceed 700 When All Reported. HITS MAINLAND (Copyright 1935 by United Press) Miami, Fla.. Sept. 4—(U.R) —The extent of death and destruction dealt by the tropical hurricane which battered southern Florida grew hour by hour today as reports trickled in over meager communication sources from the devastat ?d area. Estimates of the dead, all incomplete so far and some, unconfirmed, a.nd based only on fragmentary, unofficial reports, ranged between 200 and 700. The estimate of 700 dead was made by the Miami Beach Tribune. The newspaper quoted two war veterans from a camp on Vpper Metacombe, one of the Florida keys which suffered the brunt of the storm, as saying thai 505 m ?n had been killed there and 47 were missing. That report received some substantiation from Jack Combs, a Miami undertaker, sent to the veterans' camp to supervise collection of bodies. He reported in a wireless message to the Rod Cross that between 400 and 500 persor-i were killed at the camp. Combs reported that if deaths in other parts of the Florida keys had been proportionately as large, the disaster might prove worse than the Bdle Glade hurricane of 1926 that took 2.000 lives and all but destroyed Miami. More than 600 veterans, em- ! ployed by the FERA, had bppn engaged on a roc.d-making project from the mainland to Key West, at the very end of the chain ot | islands that form the keys. All the resources of national, j state, and private relief agencies I were mobilized to aid the stricken 1 zone. The army, the navy, the j national Red Cross a.nd stat • ; groups rushed rescue parties to I the keys. The horror of the scenes in the ' keys was graphically related) to the United Press by Harry Gaskin. a veteran employed on the i Metacombe project.

Thompson delivered an interesting lecture on tha “Field of Adult Education” at the weekly meeting of the Decatur Lions club Tuesday evening at the Rice hotel. The speaker explained how frnly great men had developed themselves into leaders by self education, which was accomplished by setting up a plan of simple daily study habits and then fulfilling those plans. He quoted the late Theodore Roosevelt as saying that success was accomplished by two per cent inspiration and 98 per cent perspiration. Rev. Thompson also stated that education is simply a matter of self training, whether through the midium of our public school system, through the reading ot the proper books at home, or simply through observation The speaker was a charter member of the Decatur Lions program.
