LOANS TO ITALY BARRED IN NEW LEAGUE MOVES Financial Measures Given Approval; Consider Ban on Key Products. (Continued From Page Onr) to the amoral stafT bv its financial sub-committer. These were revised and consolidated into a preamble and five specific points. They were reported on reliable authority to oe as follows: Preamble Prohibitions adopted are to apply not only against Italian government and persons and corporations on Italian soil, but also against third countries or persons or corporations in third countries acting as intermediaries for Italy. Prohibit All Loans 1 Prohibition of loans to the Italian government and subscriptions to loan: floated by the Italian government. 2. Prohibition of bank credits to the Italian government. 3. Prohibition of loans to Italian public institutions, corporate bodies or persons, and prohibition of subscriptions to loans floated by the class -s of persons and companies named. 4 Prohibition of the emission of shares to persons or corporate bodies on Italian soil. 5. Prohibition of all banks or other credits to private persons or corporate bodies on Italian soil or anv continuance of execution of existing credit contracts. Work on Key Products League men believe that if everything goes according to plan they are going eventually to force Premier Renito Mussolini to abandon his African rampaign. Great Britain and France are working on a list of key products, essential to war making, of which they intend to deprive Italy. It was predicted that weakening of the securities market on the New York Stock Exchange and other important financial centers might, follow the application of the financial penalties. It. was anticipated that the penalties would bring removal of Italian issues from lists of shares quoted in the Paris and other stock exchanges in Prague states. Consequently it was believed there would be an increased tendency to dispose of such holdings on exchanges such as New' York and Berlin, which would presumably continue to deal without restriction in Italian securities. Experts believe also that the Italian government, which recently requisitioned foreign securities held byItalians will soon begin to unload these in foreign markets. It is reported that the government already is disposing, or soon will dispose of mure than 3.500.000.000 lire (283,850,000 in foreign securities hitherto owned by Italian citizens. It is assumed that, a substantial part of these may be sold gradually on foreign exchanges. Silent on Evacuation li'f ( nitrfl I'rcss LONDON, Oet. 14.—Official quarters today were without news of a reported order to evacuate all British subjects in Addis Ababa. It was understood here that issuance of evacuation orders was entirely at the discretion of (he British minister in Ethiopia. Sir Sidney Barton. The Exchange Telegraph said all British subjects and foreigners under control of the legation had been ordered to leave the city—women and children to leave immediately and men to do so on a moment's notice. Arms Embargo Lifted fi’l I nil, ,I l‘n ** LONDON, Oet. 14.—Great Britain today lifted its embargo on arms to Ethiopia, the first nation to carry out the first of the League of Nations penalties against Italy.

Aksum Surrenders to Italy’s Northern Army

Holy City Taken Without Shot Being Fired by Either Side. (Continued From Page One) because the Italians realized the sacred character of Ethiopia's Rome or Mecca. Now the first phase of the whole Italian campaign in the north is completed. The Italian line runs from a point cast of Adigrat to Aksum, through Aduwa. A rectangle of territory 60 miles wide and 25 miles deep on the northern frontier of Ethiopia is under complete Italian occupation. Priests Submit to Italians Priests of the Holy City, and heads of its 13 monasteries, submitted themselves today to Gen. Pietro Maravigna, commanding the Gavianana division of regulars which occupird Aduwa. All Ethiopian soldiers had fled long since, apparently to the south. Ras Seyoum, commander-in-chief on the northern front, was reported retreating with 1000 men toward Rcmbien. Italian commanders hope that the city’s surrender, and the submission of priests and chieftains outside it, will be an example to others. It is hinted that subsidies will await them, on the British plan, to insure their loyalty. Cry, “Avanti,” Is Awaited Now the word, “avanti”—forward —is awaited by the scores of thousands of victorious men on the nothern front. Along all the front of 60 miles the word “Avanti” alone is necessary to regalvanize the vast military machine into instant action for a second mighty thrust. Eleven days of the great labor of consolidation have followed the first advance of the Italian army. Road laborers have moved right behind the front line. Water supplies have been provided. There are food dumps, munitions dumps dumps for oil and gasoline. A

Jewel Burglar Proves Ring Superstition True j

Woman Watches Thief Take Her Valuables From Home. M. A. Horseman. 2010 N. Meridian-st, believes the superstition that it is unlucky to remove a wedding ring. Because she laid her wedding ring and other jewelry on top of the radio before she retired she doesn’t have them today. Police are searching for the burglar who took them. Mrs. Horseman awoke early yesterday morning, to see a man near the bod in wh ch she and her husband were sleeping. The burglar had one hand in his coat pocket.

thousand motor trucks and more, countless mules, have brought tens of thousands of tons of supplies. The men are gaunt from iron rations and have been resting and nursing their blistered feet. The animals have open sores, galled from pack saddles. Decision Up to Ducc But now the time is near when anew advance can start whenever Premier Benito Mussolini and Gen. Emilio de Bcno, commander-in-chief of the East African armies, deem it advisable. As both southern corners of the Italian rectangle of occupation arc open to advance, it is lixely that the forthcoming push will be along the caravan route to Makale, 53 miles south of Adigrat. But 50 miles seems not the limit. It appears today that the army can go a hundred miles—or hundreds — forward without obstacles except those of nature and lack of roads passable to vehicles. The submission of the Coptic Christian priests of the Aksum and Aduwa regions will have far reaching political importance. The Coptic clergy are the real rulers of Ethiopia. They have more actual power with the common people than has Emperor Haile Selassie, especially in the north. Moslems Also Surrender Now that the religious leaders of the holy city have submitted there will be reverberations througout Ethiopia. The submission probably will be of great influence and encourage other submissions as the Italians advance. Not only did the Coptic Christian priests accept Italian domination, but leaders of the Moslem communities of both Aksum and Aduwa also surrendered. The Italians deliberately avoided any military attack on Aksum. knowing it to be the scat of many religious institutions and monasteries, and desiring to avoid embittering the Coptic orders which had been aloof even before the Italian advance because of the fear that, invasion would mean an influx of Roman Catholic influence.

Mrs. Horseman believed he had a gun, and fearful of being shot if she made an outcry, lay watching him, "I pulled my hand back very quietly, as it was hanging over the edge of the bed. I feared if he brushed against it he would realize he had awakened me and would shoot,” she said today. “Suddenly he started for the bed and I couldn't keep still any longer. I called to Mr. Horseman, who jumped up, knocked over lamps and ran after the man. But he escaped through the kitchen window.” He took two rings, a watch valued at $285. and silverware, but left money spread out on a console table, and Mrs. Horseman's purse.

300 SHAGKTOWN CITIZENS MOVE Problem of Squatters Is Thought to Be One for Trustees. Three hundred residents of the depression-born communities of Hooverville and Curtisville w'ere on the move today but where they wou’d move, and when, they did not know. City officials who have ordered their eviction seemed to be as uncertain. although there have been suggestions that the problem is one for township trustees. Threatening injunction proceedings, South Side residents today received assurances that the Works Board would co-operate in prevent- ’ ing the squatters from taking up anew place of abode on the White j River near Raymond-st. Report Is Denied Report that the ousted families would be allowed to build new shacks on S. West-st, mostly on city owmed property, was denied by ! H. B. Steeg. city engineer. Protest against the suggested new' i squatters’ location was made by John C. Kirch, president of the j South Side Civic Club. Opposition ! also w'as voiced by Dr. A. W. Miller, 114 Palmer-st. John Mahutz and Louis Tete, resi- ■ dents of Hooverville, also attended ! the hearing but were not permitted (c present their side. They were told they should appeal to township trustees. Mahutz said he had lived in the settlement two years. Hubert Riley, board president, told the Sov.ch Side delegation that the i board would remove any shacks erected on the S. West-st location. Mayor Kern said he had been advised by Trustee Hanna Noone's office that many of the squatters had obtained jobs. An effort will be made to have these people rent | homes and he will intercede with ; relief agencies to care for the others, | he said. £ Paul's Beauty Salon j: ■4 Morrison’s Apparel Shop o ;$ sth Floor RI-1359 $ |4' Occidental Bldg.

(Continued From Page One) sell anything to it or buy anything from it. Or lend it money. And, if economic sanctions do not quickly bring it to terms, then the League is supposed to resort to force. League's Method Awkward Throughout all this, the United States, in line with the RooseveltDavis doctrine, would remain strictly aloof. It would not necessarily help the League with its army or navy but it would refrain, at the same time, from helping the aggressor. The League's method of going after Italy, however, is not exactly what might have been expected by a student of the covenant. Italy has been declared an “outlaw.” An embargo on arms has been proclaimed against her. But, to date, that is nearly all. Today, at Geneva, the sanctions committee is trying to proceed still further against Italy. The British plan calls for a boycott of Italian goods, depriving her, by degrees, of foreign exchange needed to purchase raw materials. The French plan to penalize Italy is seen here as far more effective. The French proposed at Geneva that the sale of key materials to her be banned. But there again the United States would face difficulties. Washington Is Jittery The French propose an embargo on shipments of petroleum, iron, steel, coal, cotton and so forth. To forbid the sale of cotton, wheat and similar commodities would almost certainly spell trouble here. So Washington is increasingly anxious. And, oddly enough, its anxiety arises less from the drastic i nature of the League’s actions than | from their gentleness. Congress made it mandatory on the President to take a certain stand in the event of war. Nothing was said, however, about boycotting Italian spaghetti, as the : British would do, gradually to bank- ; rupt Italy and thus make it impossiI ble for them to buy from us. Con- | gress foresaw more of an open-and--1 shut case.

TORTURE CASE IS STUDIED BY HIGHEST COURT U. S. Justices Study Alleged Beating of Convicted Negro Killer. By Frrinpu-Hoirard A >-rr*rb;> r AtUnnct WASHINGTON. Oct. 14—The Supreme Court is expected to decide today whether it will take up a case involving charges of extreme torture m obtaining confessions of murder from three illiterate Negroes. The three are Ed Brown. Henrv .Shields and Yank Ellington, now under sentence of death for the murder of Raymond Stewart, a farmer of Kemper County. Miss. Stewart was slain in March. i934. Within a week the three Negroes had been arrested, indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced. They appealed to the state supreme ourt. The convictions were affirmed in a majority ruling, but in a dissenting opinion. Justice Virgil A. Griffith said: “It is sufficient to say that in pertinent respects the transcript reads more like pages torn from some medieval account than a record made within the confines of a modern civilization." Hanged Twice. Beaten In an affidavit describing the torture to which he was alleged to have been subjected. Ellington said ne went to Stewart's house as soon as he heard of the murder to see if he could be of assistance. Soon after he returned to his own house, he | said a deputy sheriff arrived and asked Ellington to return to the ! Stewart nlaee. Ellington swore that “he found a | number of people (here; that they began accusing him of having known something about the killing . . . and that the mob seized him, led by Dial . . . and that they hanged him by a rope to the limb 1 of a tree for a while, and then let : him down and tried to make him confess that he knew something ' about the killing. When he denied any knowledge of it they hanged him the second time. That in addition to hanging they tied him around a tree and gave him a severe whipping on his naked body. . . Ellington still declined to confess. The mob finally released him. Subsequently, Deputy Dial called again, ; saying he was going to take Ellington to Meridian for safe-keeping. On the way, according to the Negro's sworn statement. Dial "stopped by the roadside and accused him of lying . . . and that he made him strip his clothing off and took a leather strap, with a buckle on the end of it. and whipped him until he cut his body in stripes.” Backs Cut by Straps Under the lash, Ellington said, he finally begged for his life and said he would confess to anything Dial wanted. Commenting on the treatment of the two other defendants, Justice Griffith said that they “were mpde to strip un the jail) and they were laid over chairs and their backs were cut to pieces with a leather strap with buckles on it, and they were likewise made . . . definitely to understand that the whipping would be continued unless and until they confessed, and not only confessed, but confessed in every matter of detail as demanded . . The confessions thus obtained, according to Justice Griffith, were admitted in evidence by the court and on this evidence conviction was obtained.
