MUSSOLINI ATTACK BRINGS 30 YEARS Couple Sentenced to Impris- onment for Attempt on Premier’s Life. By the Associated Press. ROME, September 8.—Convicted of complicity in an attack on Premier Mus- | solini at Bologna, Mammolo Zamboni | and his wife Virginia today were un- der sentence of 30 years' imprisonment Their 15-ychr-old son Anteo was Yynched affer he had fired a shot which €razed a decoration on the premier’s treast on October 31. 1926. Ludovico Zamboni, another son. barely old, was acquitted on the ground of in- sufficient evidence. The Zambonis were convicted by a special tribunal and maintained they were innocent. The father, who is the proprietor of a small print shop, was completely ignorant of his plan. Zamboni described himself “an intel- Jectual anarchist” but stated that he did not know what his son's political opinions had been. Zamboni was arrested on the night of the shooting when he walked into the police staticn and asked to see the body of the premier's assailant. At that time he remarked as he gazed on the body “I knew it would happen. It was | fated. He was a strange boy, with strange notions. I had a dreadful pre- monition that something would happen to him. Our doctor said he might go mad some day.” Electric Cooking Schools. The system of electric cookery re- quires the cook to take on some new idcas and to modify the old ones to some extent, and accordingly electric cooking schools are being conducted in many parts of the country. It is claimed that electrically roasted meats weigh 10 per cent more when cooked than meats roasted by any of the old- fashioned methods. SPECIAL NOTICES.

NEW YORK, Scptember 8.— An | 18-year romance of the opera was at an end today. Divorce proceedings have been brought by Mme.

The singer announced here that it was filed | six weeks ago in Nogales, Sonora, Mex- | ico, by Mexican attorneys acting for | Mme. Alda’s counsel. Reports that the | action would not be contested were not | confirmed, as Gatti-Casazza is now in | Europe. “We have been separated now for three years,” Mme. Alda said, “but we have always been perfectly good friends. We intend to remain perfectiy good friends. 1 plan to sing next season as usual at the Metropolitan Opera.” Gatti-Ca: s contract with the Met- ropolitan, where he has been impresario for more than 20 years, runs until 1931.

ATLANTA, Ga., September 8.—Suffi- cient funds for operation of the South- ern Baptist Home Mission Board, the finances of which have been left in a precarious state by an alleged million- | dollar shortage in the accounts of its | missing treasurer, Clinton S. Carnes, probably will be assured by voluntary contributions, Dr. Arch C. Cree, acting exccutive secretary, said in a state- ment yesterday. Dy, £ree, who was loaned to the board by the Georgia Baptist Conven- tion Lo assist in a re-organization neces- itated by the disappearance of Carnes on August 15 and subsequent disclosures of irregularities in his accounts, said that checks and money orders began arriving by mail yesterday from many sections of the South in response to the board's informal appeal to its con- stituency fer financial assistance. While the mission board held an executive meeting at the local headquar- ters to advance its plans for reor- ganization, steps were taken to follow | every possible clue which might assist in the apprehension of Carnes. At the board’s meeting yesterday members were informed by Dr. Cree of steps being taken by the new admin- istrative_machinery to rehabilitate the board. The board elected Dr. Arthur J Barton, Atlanta, as office secretary to ist Dr. Cree. . The board adopted a resolution dis- | claiming any connection with the suit Walter H. Brown, a Baptist layman. in which the | board, the elder son of the missing treasurer, the company which bonded him and the auditing firm by which he formerly was employed were made de- fendants. This resulted in a temporary injunction _restraining younger Carnes from disposing of any of his father’s properties and enjoining the board from making a settlement with the bonding company. Col. Brown also sought to have the bonding company and the auditing firm held liable for the entire amount of Carnes’ purported shortage, alleging that they had failed to investigate his record thoroughly. 1t was announced that a special offer- ing will be asked for tomorrow in all local churches.
