D. C, MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1935. s A7 GORNER STONELAID IN SPITE OF STORM More Than 500 Brave Rain for St. Francis Xavier Church Exercises. More than 500 persons braved yes- terday’s inclement weather to view the ceremonies marking the laying of the corner stone of the new St. Francis Xavier's Catholic Church, Twenty- eighth street and Pennsylvania ave- nue southeast. Bishop John M. McNamara, who of- ficiated, praised the work of Rev. Jos- eph V. Buckley, pastor of the church. Pointing out that since the church’s founding in 1924 its membership has increased from 32 to 1,200, he also praised the “great parish spirit.” Fifty-seven members of the clergy, church choir boys and students of the Atonement Seminary of Catholic Uni- versity were among those present. Rev. Charles R. O'Hara, pastor of St. Mary's Church, Rockville, Md., pointed out the significance of the cor- ner stone laying ceremony in the his- tory of religion, particularly the Chris- tian religion, saying: “From ancient times the laying of the corner stone has been symbolic of sacrifice. It has always represented the work of the many who have given of their time, services and money for the cause of morality.” Father Buckley supervised the serv- ices and Rev. J. Jenning Clark of St. Teresa's Church acted as master of ceremonies. Rev. Peter P. Rakowski, assistant to Father Buckley; Rev. Cor- nelius Dacey of St. Paul's and Rev. P. E. Conroy of St. Anthony's also participated in the services.

Mussolini made no reference to the new peace plan reported reached be- tween Great Britain and France. Every one present awaited some tone that might indicate either an| unyielding attitude or conciliation, but | there was only one phrase in the speech that might apply either to Italy's stand in the negotiations or to the carrying on with the war and with resistance to League of Nations | sanctions. Thanks Senate for Vote. He thanked the Senate for its *“unanimous vote” for the African war expenses. | This unanimity, he said, showed that the few remaining Senators who | occasionally vote against the Fascist | government had joined the govern-| ment in approving the campaign. News from Italian and Ethiopian | bivouacs was punctuated by unofficial | reports of casualties and a dispute in| army circles at Addis Ababa. A Reuters (British) dispatch from the Ethiopian capital said unofficial | reports related 850 Ethiopians and 700 Italian Somalis were killed in a battle | north of Dolo, on the southern front. | All Belgian officers connected with the Ethiopian Army turned in their resignations today in Addis Ababa be- cause of a clash of views with high Ethiopian officials, threatening to leave soon unless the dispute was set- tled. | Four Fly Over Dessye. Government sources said four Ital- tan planes flew over Dessye, the field | headquarters of Emperor Haile Selas- | sie, again today, but dropped no bombs. Last week's bombardments there were attended by heavy casu-| altles. Two other Italian planes were ; reported to have circled Daggah Bur, on the southern front. | Many residents of the Ethiopian capital said they heard the Italian radio station at Asmara, Eritrea, broadcasting reports Addis Ababa would be bombed.

The territorial concessions to Italy would be chiefly in Ethiopia's Northwestern Tigre Province, includ- ing historic Aduwa, but not Ethiopia’s sacred city of Aksum. 0il Embargo Depends on Reaction. On Mussolini's reaction to the prof- | fer was expected to hinge decision as to the imposition of the threatened oil embargo against Italy by the League of Nations. Diplomatic quarters considered the Italian premier apparently in a more conciliatory mood in his address to the Chamber of Deputies last week than he had been heretofore. Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia already has been reported to have asked a digni- tary of the Coptic Christian Church to intercede for peace. In Rome, although Mussolini pre- viously turned his back on proposals similar to those drafted by France and Great Britain as a basis for peace negotiations, some diplomats talked of peace by Christmas. N French and British officials indi- cated their accord extended to all | European questions as well as to the Wars::.and rumors of East African dispute. A copy of it was taken to London for Prime Min- ister Stanley Baldwin’s approval be- fore its officlal presentation to Rome, Haile Selassie and the League of Nations. While word was awaited from Mus- solini, on another diplomatic front the East African war and League sanc- tions against Italy complicated the London. Franco-Italian rivalry in the Medi- terranean, with France refusing to grant parity to Italy, and the general questions of sanctions brought up in- cident to the African war, helped make the outlook for agreement among the powers represented at Lon- don rather bleak. At the front lines, where only sporadic attivity has taken place for weeks, the Italian high command was quoted in advices to Rome as saying it had a right to launch aerial at- tacks on Dessye because it was a military center, armed and defended. The Ethiopian government denied it was & fortified town. 11 Duce today was scheduled to ad- | dress the Italian Senate, wars ; : ; more than ever foreign short-wave broadcasts are packed with excite- ment.

A prison sentence of from one to two years was imposed Saturday by Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue in District Supreme Court on George J. Shepard, art collector, who was charged with mail fraud .n connection with efforts to sell allegedly spurious portraits to notables throughout the country. The sentence followed Shepard’s withdrawal of his previous plea of not guilty. It was claimed that Shepard wrote Richard F. Cleveland, son of the late President Grover Cleveland, offering him a portrait of his father pur- portedly executed by Paul Bersh. During the same year Shepard is said to have written Cleveland and a number of other persons offering for sale what he said was a Peale portrait of Charles Carroll of Carroll- ton. Postal authorities had the por- traits in question examined by experts who pronounced them spurious. —_——— SODALITY ANNIVERSARY IS CELEBRATED AT G. U.
