Italian losses ‘were announced as four native soldiers killed, five wounded and 10 missing. Rain over all fronts impeded some- what the preparations for new Italian advances, and provided a dreary dirge for Lij Yasu, deposed ruler who died in exile. The grandson of former Emperor Menelik, a cousin of the present Em- peror Haile Selassie, died near Harar, the government announced. It was Lij Yasu the Italians were rumored to be seeking in an effort to establish @ new government in Ethiopia. Put Caravan to Rout On the southern front Gen. Rudolfo Graziani’s armored cars streaked into central and northern Ogaden province Monday putting an Ethiopian caravan to flight. From Addis Ababa came word that four Italian planes had circled over dJigiga, strategic point on the south- ern front, without dropping bombs. The death of Lij Yasu removed from the Ethiopian political scene a man who had faded into’ an obscurity which spawned many a strange and fantastic tale about him. In 1916, when he was deposed by the tribal chiefs, Haile Selassie became regent and heir to the throne, shar- ing the scepter with Queen Zauditu, daughter of Menelek. Ruled Only 3 Years Lij Yasu ruled only for three years before being exiled to a villa prison specially constructed for him at Tiara Mulata, near Harar. One legend about him said the onetime monarch was held in golden chains at the Addis Ababa palace to prevent the Italians from kidnaping him. Haile Selassie became sole ruler of Ethiopia after the death of Queen Zauditu in 1930. Two years later Lij Yasu escaped prison, disguised as a woman, and launched an unsuccessful revolution, Haile Selassie went into mourning for his predecessor, who was about 50 years old. League Meets Soon League of Nations officials said the meeting to discuss the imposition of an oil embargo against Italy prob- ably would be Dec. 6 or 9. Rumania and India have joined with Soviet Russia in expressing read- iness to extend the existing embargoes against exports to Italy to include oll, coal, iron and steel. India made no reservation.

D., Nov. 26.—(?)—In- vestigators reopened an inquest Tues- day into the death of Carl Wilson, young Hettinger farmer, slain, autopsy disclosed, by a shotgun charge fired through a window. The autopsy, conducted by Drs. J. L, Bach of Reeder and N. W. Schu- macher of Hettinger, showed Wilson had been struck by a 16 to 20 gauge shotgun charge inflicting 67 wounds; in face, head, eyes and chest. Testimony at the inquest Monday disclosed Wilson had been living alone for some time while his wife stayed with her sick mother, Mrs George Mueller. Wilson’s slayer, investigators said, apparently fired through a north window of the home, hitting him as he reclined in an easy chair. A charge of No. 4 shot had torn a hole through the screen and shattered the glas? window. DONALD M'PHEE, 72, POLITICAL-FINANGE | CRISIS ENDANGERS jened an attack on the cabinet unless 3.

HIGHWAY CHIEF Wires Flannigan WPA Directors WILL ASK’ PUBLIC SUPPORT Premier Says He Chooses to Fall Rather Than De- valuate the Franc Paris, Nov. 26—(4)—Premier Laval Tuesday yielded to the demands of the Leftists for the disbanding of Nationalist forces, such as the War Veterans’ Crois de Feu, to save the franc and to defend his cabinet against threat of overthrow. The cabinet agreed on a proposal. {mow pending in parliament, to appeal to the chamber of deputies’ “patri- otism” for immediate discussion of Laval’s financial. measures. This decision means Laval will de- mand an immediate vote of confi- dence for his decree laws which are intended to defend the franc against, speculation and the budget uncer- tainty now causing a heavy outflow of gold, with danger of eventual de- valuation of the franc. The premier will ask the chamber to take up the battle against political troops after he disposes of the inter- pellation of his financial policy. Civil War Looms The cabinet’s decision to support a proposal to disband “seditious leagues” was, without naming the Croix de Feu, taken in the face of a warning from friends of Col. Francois de la Roque, its leader, that such action would lead to a “brutal shock and perhaps civil war.” Laval, confronting political and fi- nancial difficulties simultaneously, announced he would ask public sup- port in an address Tuesday night. He let it be known his government would choose to fall rather tha deprec the franc. The government goes before the re- convened chamber of deputies Thurs- anjday. The leftist popular front of rad- icals and radical socialists has threat- it suppresses such nationalistic forces as the Croix de Feu. Herriot at Meeting Former Premier Eduard Herriot, secretary of state and leader of the dominant radical socialists, met with the cabinet. He announced that if radicals car- ried out their threat to overthrow the ministry, he would resign the party presidency and would refuse to serve in another ministry. General pessimism prevailed over the future of the Laval government. Some sources said the financial crisis, with the Bank of France attempting vaults, might save the cabinet. Uncertainty over League of Nations sanctions against Italy, in an economic effort to curb the Fascist warfare in Ethiopia, was jcalled another factor in the crisis.

J. Flannigan, state highway commissioner, Tuesday declared he had been informed by Thomas H. Mc- Donald, head of the federal bureau of roads at Washington that “highway and grade crossing programs should not be held up by WPA administra- tors.” Flannigan’s statements were in re- sponse to disclosures by Thomas H. Moodie, state WPA administrator, that he had directed no further ap- provals of highway or grade crossing projects be made unless it could be shown monies would be expended by June 30, 1936. Moodie held under rules of WPA, funds allocated for both types of work must be spent by the end of the fiscal year, June 30 of next year. Moodie expressed doubt whether projects now scheduled could be com- pleted within time limit. Get MacDonald’s Reply Flannigan said he had presented the situation by mail to MacDonald, who Flannigan said, replied “highway and grade crossing projects should not be held up by WPA administrators, since these funds are definitely allotted to the state for expenditure through the state highway department and this bureau.” MacDonald's telegraphic reply also pointed out, Flannigan explained, “If not satisfied with projects submitted, the WPA administrator should file ts “erittctsnas “with Te= turn: of the program to the state highway department.” Program Not Returned “although I have asked for return | of the program with either his con- currence and approval, or rejection and comment, the program has not yet been returned by Mr. Moodie,” Flannigan said. In the meantime, Flannigan said, “we are going ahead with our plans for road construction, and for grade crossings. Our plans will be prepared and submitted.” Flannigan claimed approximately $1,992,445 in roads work and $2,252,173 in grade separation construction would be held up as result of the adverse ruling, setting the June deadline, to stem the stream of gold from its| application of used in opening the safe, and with it including drills, wrenches, torches and other articles.

NO SIOUX STARVING, COLLIER LEARNS ON Commissioner Finds Indians Have Begun to Think Earnestly of Future Completion of the program of In- dian reorganization at the next ses- sion of congress is “hopeful,” John Collier of Washington, U. 8. Indian Commissioner, said here Tuesday fol- lowing a survey of conditions at Sioux Indian reservations in North and South Dakota. Commissioner Collier said he was “much encouraged” by conditions among the Sioux. “There are many indications the Sioux have begun to think earnestly jSbout the future,” he said. “The In- dians are already better organized and more articulate than they were. They are directing their thoughts more and more to constructive plans for their own improvement.” Leaves For Billings Collier left for Billings, Mont., after a week of conferences with the In- dians of North and South Dakota at which the reorganization acts of 1934 and drafting of tribal constitutions under the law were discussed.

Lieut. Lauro Fontoura was arrested before dawn charged with attempting to incite a revolt of the cavalry unit. Officials said he had made an effort to bring the crack mounted corps in- to line with the soldiers who are fighting in northeast Brazil against the government, Fight 22 Hours From the state of Pernambuco, Capt. Melvino Reis, secretary of se- curity of the state, reported that af- ter 22 hours of fighting the insurgents had been driven back toward Socorro, the military garrison of Recife, and that about 60 had been killed and 100 captured. However, Socialists in the capital who said their information came through secret channels asserted rebel deaths had not been more than 40. With a “state of siege” proclaimed throughout the nation, the govern- ment was pushing all available mili- wer into the area where the rebels had made their gains. Rebels Hold Gains Authoritative advices indicated Communistic insurgents were holding their gains. The rebels still held the strategic seaport of Natal and the nearby city of Macahyba, in the notheastern state of Rio Grande* do Norte, after seizing them Sunday up- on the outbreak of the revolution. While the two cruisers weighed an- chor with arms, munitions and an unannounced number of men, appar- ently to bear down on, Natal, 400 government troops made a forced march toward Machaya in an at- tempt to wrest that site from the rebels. jails 01 a erflowing Jails were being filled beyond ca- Pacity as authorities rounded up sus- pected extremists.

The Standing Rock reservation may com- plete similar action within a year's time, he said. . No Indians Starving Commissioner Collier said that while no Indians were “starving” on the Standing Rock reservation, approxi- mately 75 per cent were on the relief rolls. Approximately $500,000 has been spent on reservation relief the past year, he stated, and predicted more funds would be forthcoming. “I have everywhere told the Indians that the reorganization act of 1934 has polger their fate into their ee pants that it is up to them with our Besides his widow, he leaves &lnelp to work out their salvation by daughter, Mrs. George W.
