‘2 AMERICAN MINISTER ~ TO ETHIOPIA PROBES STREET'S DETENTION Belief Expressed Order Barring! Foreigners !s Blind for Blackmailing Addis Ababa, Feb. 12.—(?)—United States minister-resident Cornelius Van H. Engert requested fuller infor- mation from the Ethiopian govern- ment Wednesday concerning the de- tention of the American missionary, the Rev. Harold Street, in remote Gamo province, The minister indicated he was con- cerned over a possibility that a ruling, calling for removal of foreigners from Ethiopian danger zones, might be used @s a tool for extortion. The missionary’s wife in a letter to} the Ethiopian government, disclosing that her husband and the Rev. John Trewin, a Canadian member of the Soudan interior mission, had been held since Jan. 27 and’ taken from their Shama station to Chenca, cap- ital of Gamo, blamed a native land- lord for the arrests, charging black- mail. Mrs. Street, who said she and her four children remained under guard, charged that the landlord, failing in attempts to obtain money from the Rev. Mr. Street, persuaded the local chieftain to order the missionaries to eave Shama under the regulation that ny foreigners could be ordered out of a dangerous area. resting place for cannot hallow this ground.

Ethiopian foreign minister Bellaten Gueta Herouy, who proposed the reg- ulation, assured Engert that the Rev. ‘Mr. Street would be released immedi- ately, but there was not yet any of- ficial information that the govern- ment order that missionaries be freed had been carried out. Crown Prince Asfa Wosan, acting for his father, Emperor Haile Selas- sie, had ordered the local chieftain three days ago to release the mission- aries after their arrests became known.

IN MYSTERIOUS FIRE Head of Minnesota Family in Jackson Hospital Suffering From Head Wound | Jackson, Minn., Feb. lis members of the Paul Poelart family were burned to death when a myste- rious fire destroyed their farm home, ! 14 miles from here, Tuesday night. Poelart himself, suffering from a head wound, was held under guard in a hospital here. Word of the tragedy, in which Poe- lart’s mother, 75, his wife and two infant children perished, was brought by Theodore Alt, a hired man, whose arrival was delayed by blocked roads. Alt told authorities Poelart sent him for a load of straw late Tuesday, re- called him and then sent him to a neighbor's house to call a doctor, sheriff and coroner. Upon his return to the Poelart place, Alt said, he found the home a mass of flames. Locked doors prevented his entering. He found Poelart in the barn in a semi-conscious condition with a wound in his head. Authorities said Poelart’s head in- jury appeared to be a gunshot wound, but mgiht have resulted from an ex- plosion. Physicians doubted he would tecover. Efforts to question him were unsuccessful.

The compromise, which brought sev- eral divergent factions into line, com- pletely omitted two major provisions of the administration act. One would have permitted the president to im- pose peacetime quotas on “materials of war” such as oil, cotton and steel, and another would have permitted the chief executive to require that trade proceed with belligerents at the shipper’s risk. Attached to the bill as agreed upon by the committee, however, was an authorization for the president to embargo credits to belligerents. A move to force consideration of permanent legislation at this session apparently awaited the bill on the senate floor. . McReynolds Seeks Speed Chairman McReynolds (Dem. Tenn.) said that in the interests of speed, he planned to introduce a copy of the senate bill in the house, per- haps Wednesday, then call the foreign affairs committee into session “in @ day or two” to consider the measure. The amendment covering this sec- tion provided: “This act shall not apply to an American republic or republics en- times of crisis, By Secretary Ickes Mr. Roosevelt was described as “the man who brave-| ly tilts his lance against special priv- ilege and entrenched greed.” To Senator Hastings (Rep., Del.) the president appeared as “this profli- gate son” who “rushes on in his wild career.” The skirmishes within the Repub- lican party livened with the news from Illinois that Senator Borah would compete in the primary there. Sup- porters of Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher, said his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination would be announced formally Thurs- day. New Jersey For Landon Coincidentally Gov.

Knox, Chicago pub- lisher, to announce his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. cribed as favored for president by 19 of the 21 Republican county chairmen in New Jersey. In a speech prepared for delivery at a luncheon in Wilmington, Del., Senator Hastings declared that at ho} time in the nation’s history, “not even when war threatened the nation, did we ever find so much confusion, dis- order and uncertainty as exists to- day.” : “The condition in Washington is Pretty close to chaos,” he said. “ e | administration is bewildered... . My own judgment is that Mr. Roosevelt on his way out.” Refuses to Pose Secretary Ickes, who spoke Tuesday night from the same platform in Springfield, Ill, with Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, a foe of the New Deal, stoutly defended the ad- ministration. Ickes refused to pose for a phtograph shaking hands with Talmadge. Emphasizing the constitutfonal question, Ickes declared that General McClellan ran against Lincoln in 1864 on a “save the constitution” platform. | Quoting newspaper articles in 1862, the cabinet member said Lincoln had been attacked as a man “who scuttled the American constitution, set up a dic- tatorship, threw the supreme court into the Potomac river and declared @ moratorium on congress.” Similar charges, he said, “more vehemently expressed,” have been made against President Roosevelt. Wants Man Like Lincoln The southern Democratic governor i declared he wished “a man like Abra- ham Lincoln” were in the White House now. Colonel Knox continued his anti- New Deal attack from Manchester, N. H., where he has a home, and where the Republican organization launched a drive Tuesday night designed to elect him president. Former Senato- Moses of New Hampshire declared enough delegates would be elected to “make Knox the commanding aspirant” at the June convention in Cleveland. Simultaneously with the disclosure that Borah and Knox will come to grips in the April primary in Illinois, ‘came word that the president’s name will be entered in the Democratic pri- mary, School Burns Down During Noon Recess Butte, Mont., Feb. 12.—()—Five minutes after 130 children and nuns had left for lunch, the three-story frame structure housing the St. Law- near here, was destroyed by fire Tues- day.

Chairman Nye (Rep., N. D.) of the munitions committee, said he did not want to interfere with extension of the present law. but warned that it would not “mean the neutrality issue is end- ed for the session by any means.” Nye wants particularly to obtain quick legislation for the “cash and carry system” of trading with beliger- ents. Under it warring nations could purchase only such goods as they paid for in cash and transported in their own vessels. MORRIS EULOGIZES ABRAHAM LINCOLN Viewpoint Enabled President to Solve Problems Calmly, Rotarians Hear © “No one could solve any problem more calmly, more patiently and more diligently than Abraham Lincoln,” eulogized Judge James Morris, su- preme court jurist, Wednesday in a talk given at the regular noon lunch- eon of the local Rotary club. Lincoln’s rise from poverty to the presidency did not change the great man’s viewpoint, one of the outstand- irg characteristics of the Civil War president, Morris said. Problems similar to those that trouble the nation today were com- mon all through American history. Each were much the same but requir- ed the solution of the generation dur- ing which they occurred, he pointed out. Transportation, taxes, capital and labor, foreign relations, and the re- lation of state and national govern- ments were problems in the past just as they are now and must be solved to meet present day needs, he stated. Judge Morris was introduced by Rob- ert Webb, program chairman. W. R. Koch was inducted into membership in the club and the charge was given by George F. Bird. Guests were Harold G. Piper, Minot; J. R. Raymer, St. Paul; L, Oliver, Fargo; G. W. Harris, Minneapolis and Cliff Ehlers, Garrison.
