HOLLOW VICTORY ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 7.—Emperor Halle Selassie declares the capture of Aduwa is a hollow victory and of no military significance, point- ing out the Italians still had on every front miles of barren desert ! to cross before entering the im- portant, sections of Ethiopia, and in this connection, many foreign ob- servers concurred, REPORTED CAPTURES PARIS, Oct. 7—A correspondent of the Havas News Agency reports Ras Seyom, Commander of the Tigre Troops in northwest Ethi- opia as saying the Italian troops have taken Wageta and Enguela, south of Aduwa.

A large handkerchief, knotted around the girl's neck an lashed to the metal knob of the garage door, is the only clue. The girl's grandmother, Mrs. Al- fred Collidge, talled the police after the child, the daughter of Albert H. Kelley, disappeared from the! hallways of the apartment house.

O. P. in Springfield, Ill, during the summer and was the ex-President’s first speech before a party organization since his retirement to private life in March, 1932. He made but one reference to the G. O. P. of 1936. “In coming mm}thl the Republican party will meet in convention with the responsibility of determining its policies,” he said. “It will be the most vital convention since 1860 That convention should be a com- promise of the thousand best men |of the Republican party. The minor issues, petty opposition, sectional in- terest, and group ideas, every shred of personal ambition, must be dumped.” Hoover made no reference to in- dividuals in commenting on the coming convention but he declared a “sound fiscal policy” was the an- swer to the demands for the Re- publicans to offer a constructive pro- gram. “VINDICATION NOMINATION" WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Whether former President Hoover seeks or would take a “vindication nomina- tion” became a more pointed ques- tion than ever in the light of his speech at Oakland. Hoover said nothing on the subject but party leaders, some hostile to him, took note of his new militance.

KENT RETURNS FROM GETTING ) i MURAL SCHEME { Artist, Novelist Gives Im-| pression of North— Praises Beach's Plan Plans for mural decorations in the new Federal Post Office Building at| ‘Washington, D. C.; hearty endorse-( ment of the Rex Beach plan for“ populating and developing the ’l‘er-I ritory; great expectations for the quartz claims owned by Joe Cros- son at Fairbanks; and a predic- tion that Nome and its vicinity is soon to experience a great boom in development—these were some of | the statements of Rockwell Kent, famous artist and novelist, who_ar- rived in Juneau on the Electra yes- terday afternoon from a ten-day trip to the Interior. The post office murals were the actual cause of bringing Mr. Kent here, two weeks ago, when he ar- rived on the Yukon from the States. “It is planned by the government that these murals should represent the varied methods of mail trans- portation in use in the States and Territories,” he said. “Consequently, one large painting will be devoted to transportation in the Arctic and| one to transportation in the tropics. It was actually to see the picture I will create— one of an airplane transferring mail to a dog sled—that I travelled to Nome.” His next excursion, he hopes, will take him to Puerto Rico. Crosson’s Claims Leaving here the morning after the Yukon arrived in port, Mr. Kent went directly to Fairbanks, where, he said, “mostly I inspected quartz claims—one of Gustafson's and the other of Joe Crosson’s. In Fairbanks people ‘are very hopeful for Cros- son’s claims, and you hear it sald often that he is likely to become a rich man in a short time.” He said that in his opinion the only drawback fo the development of Fairbanks as a great farming center was the lack of consumers for agricultural products. “Theré aren’t,” he said, “enough Endorses Beach Plan Endorse Beach Plan In this regard, Mr. Kent spoke with enthusiasm of the Rex Beach| plan for Territorial Development, first published in The Empire dur- ing Mr. Beach’s visit. to the Terri- tory in September. “Everyone in the Interior is talk- ing about it,” he said. “It seems to be so sound a thing that I heartily endorse it—less, however, for what it will do from the standpoint of discovering wealth than for what it_will.do for the men put to work and for the Territory.” The Beach plan suggested the transportation to Alaska of unem- ployed college youth for the pur- pose of prospecting in units each under the guidance of an experi- enced prospector, the work to be managed and supplemented by the aviation corps of the army air base to be erccted here. 5 Goes To Nome From Fairbanks Mr. Kent went to Nome, where he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Lomen, pro- prietors of the Lomen Commercial Company. He reported that Nome was “coming up strong.” “I forget what enormous profits the banks have made this year, but it looks very much as if that whole vicinity is in for a boom,” he said. He quoted Mr. Lomen as saying that “no one knows how much gold is in the Territory, since very lttle: of it has been prospected.” He sald (Continued on Page T'wo) | the TROUBLE STILL BREWING ALONG |Hartnett, c.

British Columbia Situation New Chief Obstacle to Peaceful Settlement SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.—De- spite reinstatement by employers of 1600 stevedores, suspended be- cause they had refused to handle “hot” cargos, 38 deep sea vessels were tied up in San Francisco and harbor fated a new labor shortage. ' The shortage resulted because other registered longshoremen have already worked the 120 hours in| the month permitted under the strike treaty. Abolition of the suspended list iwas announced by the employers after Arbitrator Sloss ruled that employers could not discriminate against the men, The chief obstacle remained that of the British Columbia “hot” car- g0 question. A coastwise strike on the British Columbia question is slated for this week. TERHUNE BACK FROM JOURNEY - TO ALEUTIANS Game Commission Official Joins Here Bride He Married Last July Hugh W. Terhune, Executive Of- ficer of the Alaska Game Commis- sion, arrived in Juneau this morn- ing aboard the Brown Bear after a seven weeks' inspection trip to blue fox farms in the Aleutians. Mr. Terhune joins his bride here and the couple are living on the Brown Bear for a few days until they find a permanent resi- dence. Mr. and Mrs. Terhune were mar- ried in Montesano, Wash, last July during & Visit the game com- mission official made to the states. His bride is the former Jeanne L. Kerby of Seattle and a native of Georgia. ; ‘Terhune reports fox farming in fair condition in the Aleutians with most of the farmers holding for a better market. The outlook, he says, is favorable and some of the farm- ers are planning on expanding their activities, importing feed for .the animals and increasing the supply. In the past the foxes have had to find their own food on the islands. The game official left here on August 17, going to Fairbanks with W. E. Crouch of the Biological Sur- vey. Later they joined the Brown Bear at Seward and went on out to the islands as far west as Atku. Crouch left the vessel at Dutch Harbor to return to his headquarters in Washington. Game Warden Homer Jewell with N. Lester Troast of the Indian Bureau also made the trip, On the way back the Brown Bear put in at Cordova during the 10-day open deer season there. Severe storms were encountered on the trip, tie men reported. The boat was storm bound @t Yaku- tat for several days, finally being able to get away Sunday.
