ROOSEVELT DELAYS INSPECTION TRIP Rain Causes Him to Spend Day at Farm—Works on Tax Return, BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, af Correspondent of The Star. WARM SPRINGS, Ga., March 15.— After a dismal, rainy Sunday, made all the more so because he was forced to spend most of his day laboring over his income tax to get it into the mail before the deadline, President Roosevelt today slept late, and then enjoyed an hour or so in the glass- covered swimming pool at the Warm Springs Foundation before going to his large farm on the slopes of Pine Mountain to spend the remainder of the day. Mr. Roosevelt had planned to motor over Pine Mountain today to inspect the Pine Mountain Resettlement proj- ect, and to go from there to Chipley, about 10 miles distant, to inspect a C. C.C.camp. The rain of yesterday, which continued throughout the night, made the dirt roads in this section soft and dangerously slippery for motoring. Moreover, there was a wintry chill in the air and the Presi- dent thought it would be unwise to have the inhabitants of the valley resettlement stand on the soggy ground, oui in the cold air during his inspection trip. However, he will make this journey to the valley re- settlement project before he returns to Washington. President Roosevelt did not leave his little cottage home yesterday. It was a dreary, gloomy Sunday for him. First of all, the skies were overcast and there were intermittent rains. Within the seclusion of the little cot- lage the President was struggling throughout the greater part of thc| day with his income tax returns. This was the first time in the four years that he has been President that Mr. Roosevelt has made out his in- come tax returns himself. He makes no secret of the fact that he is not s0 good at figures, and according to reports of his struggles yesterday, it is doubtful if he will ever try doing it again by himself. The President has been assisted in previous years while occupying the White House by ex- perts from the executive office and the Treasury Department, but when approached on the subject a few days before leaving Washington for his Warm Springs vacation, the President, who was absorbed in other and more Important matters said there was no hurry and that he would make it out | bimself when he got to Warm Springs. AGREEMENT REACHED British Will Open Gulf of Aden Ports to Ethiopia. ADDIS ABABA, March 15 (#).—The Italian administration of Ethiopia and authorities of British Somaliland yesterday reached an sgreement opening the British ports | of Seila and Berbera, on the Gulf of Aden, to goods destined for the Ethi- opian Empire. Goods unloaded at either port will | be permitted passage along two cara- 'van routes to Diredawa, Ethiopian city on the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway, and then will be shipped to the interior by rail or by the flanking truck high- way now under construction to Addis Ababa. Authorities said the agreement would relieve pressure on Djibouti, French Somaliland, which is greatly congested. viceregal — Families raising silkworms in Japan now number 1,857,664. —_— BOSTON BULL, 2 vears dark eye and ear; di Reward.

LOS ANGELES, Msarch 15.—Helen Wills Love, convicted husband slayer who boasted “I can make myself die whenever I want to,” began the fourth day of a strange sleep today, insens- ible to pain or sound. For a second time, her trance-like condition prevented her from being taken to court for sentence. Her conviction carries a penalty of from seven years to life in prison. The 31-year-old woman was con- victed of slaying Harry A. Love last New Year eve at a beach club, where he went with his socially prominent mother. Since she slipped into the coma last Thursday night, all organic functions of her body have ceased, aside from breathing and blood circulation. “She is suffering from a catatonic condition, a form of stupor brought on by extreme mental strain,” said Dr. Benjamin Blank, county jail phy- sician. He continued administering intravenous solutions of glucose and normal saline. “It is impossible to say just what the outcome may be,” he added. Ammonia fumes and pin pricks, usually of avail in “sham” cases, have failed to arouse her. Her brother, Harry Wills, said she once before ex- perienced a similar coma without ap- parent ill effect. He said soft music had aroused her on the previous occa- sion. MOSES REICHGUT, 65, LONG ILL, SUCCUMBS Retired Merchant Was Active in Jewish Welfare Work—Rites Held Yesterday.
