The defense rested suddenly after the noon recess Tuesday when hopes faded for producing a final “key” witness. Six witnesses were called by the state in its rebuttal during the morning session.

Great Britain’s special envoy and Geoffrey Thompson, British expert on African affairs, conferred with Fulvio Suvich, Italian undersecretary for foreign affairs, before another inter- view with Il Duce himself. British circles said the preliminary conference was called to determine to what extent Captain Eden might Men Mussolini on his east Africa Italian official circles aescribed 11 Duce as impatient at the idea of stat- ing Italy's already well-defined view: points on the East African contro: versy, but it was agreed that some main points of Italian policy might be brought sharply to the foreground. These were: 1, Italy will not consider any “patched-up” settlement of her dif- ferences with Ethiopia, such as terri- torial concessions. 2. Italy will be satisfied with noth- ing less than a protectorate over Ethiopia, backed by Italy’s strong military organization, and Ethiopia’s expulsion from the League of Nations on the ground that she has violated the principles of membership. Members of the Italo-Ethiopian conciliation commission were assem- bling at Scheveningen, a suburb of The Hague, to resume their sessions after a recess of several weeks, ‘Two more ships sailed, meanwhile, for East Africa with soldiers and war materials, LEGION CONVENTION TO PICK NEW CHIEF IN SESSIONS TODAY Spencer S.

Bankhead Tenant Bill Washington, June 25.—(?)—An- other fight now awaits the Bankhead farm tenant bill, which passed the sen- ate late Monday, 45 to 32. Its future in the house of representatives is uncertain. ‘ ‘Though conservatives of both par- ties, as well as Senator Long (Dem., La.) whaled away at the bill, attempts to change it materially failed. It sets up a corporation, with eventual bor- rowing power of $1,000,000,000, to fi- nance share croppers and tenant farm- ers in buying their own homes. The interest to the persons aided would be not more than 3% per cent. Senator Bankhead (Dem. Ala.) led the fight for the bill, saying it had administration support. The vote of northwest senators on final passage of the bill follows: For: North Dakota—Frazier (Rep.), Minnesota—Schall (Rep.), Shipstead, (F-L), Wisconsin—LaFollette (Prog.), Gouth Dakota—Bulow (Dem.). Against: North Dakota—Nye (Rep.), South Dakota—Norbeck (Rep.). Asks $1,799,500 for July Relief Needs Requests for relief funds totaling $1,799,500 for the month of July have been made to Washington by E. A. Willson, state FERA administrator. Of this amount, $1,745,000 is set up for general relief; $50,700 for tran- sient work and $3,800 for relief re- search work. The budget request represents a huge drop from that of a year ago, Willson said, when nearly twice that amount was requested. Approved by Senate ie COLLISION FOLLOWS RACE FOR TAKEOFF ON AIRPORT FIELD ‘Lindbergh of Colombla’ and Noted ‘Tango Singer’ Listed Among Victims FOUR OTHERS BADLY HURT Colombian War Ministry Begins Immediate Investigation of Disaster (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press) Medellin, Colombia, June 25—A war ministry commission came here by airplane from Bogota Tuesday to investigate the crash of two airplanes Monday which killed 15 persons and seriously injured four. All South America was shocked by the accident for Ernesto Samper, the “Lindbergh of Colombia,” and Carlos Gardel, Argentina's most noted “tango singer” and movie actor, were two of those killed. Accident Occurs on Ground The accident occurred on the ground as two big (Ford) trimotored transport ships raced across the Olaya aad airport in simultaneous take- | offs. The Saco (Sociedad Anonima Col- ombiana) airline version of the crash was that another ship—owned by the Scadta airline—which had been stand- ing on the apron of its hangar started abruptly and made a wide curve of the field while the Saco plane, having re- ceived its starting signal, crossed the field at full speed, its pilot unable to see the Scadta maneuver because of bushes. Scadta, on the other hand, reported its ship was rammed while it was still standing on the apron when the Saco plane took off with the wind. Crowd Sees Collision All the spectators saw and heard was the sudden collision of the two huge ships which immediately burst into flames, The complete corrected Ust of dead follows: Carlos Gardel, Buenos Aires, Emesto Samper, Bogota, Willis B.

The air ministry revealed that &® number of pilotless machines were in regular use for gunnery practice over land and sea. The airplanes are called the “Queen Bee” type, are operated completely by radio, fly more than 100 miles an hour, and reach an altitude of more than 10,000 feet, but their radius is confined to ten miles from the operating station. An air ministry official said: “They can be controlled 80 finely that without anyone aboard they will take off from the land and perform a flight limit- ed only by fuel and the distance from the wireless station, then descend again with complete ac- curacy. “They can also be catapulted from ships’ at sea and brought down on the water after complet- ing the fight,” : | walked out as s protest alleged president of the union, planned to confer with federal officials in an ef- fort for conciliation.
