Ras Nasibu, governor of Harar province, who held out stubbornly for seven months against the Fascist forces on the Somaliland front, abandoned defense of Harar, second city of Ethiopia, and fled with members of his general staff. The Ethiopian officers arrived in this French territory last night and hastened on today to British Soma- liland, bound for Berbcra, British port about 200 miles southeast of Djibouti, on the Gulf of Aden. Accompanying the redoubtable Ras Nasibu was Wehlb Pasha, former general of the Turkish imperial army, who offered services before the war started and acted as emergency advisor to the southern Ethiopian army throughout the campaign.

In turning to British territory for sanctuary, Ras Nasibu accepted the example of his emperor, who sailed yesterday afternoon with other members of the imperial family aboard the British cruiser Enterprise for Palestine.

His wife, wnV had been here since his relapse, was not in the room at the time. Mrs. Hussey said Reno's last words were: "Has the man I have been expecting from Des Molnes arrived?" He died as she answered "No." Reno first came into the national eye In the early 1920's as an evangelist of the discontented farmer in sections of the middle west.

He directed strikes of farm producers in veral states In 1932 and 1933. To his followers, Reno was a who braved all in their cause. tiemles called him a demagogue.

Gillespie Council May Ask PWA for Water Plant Aid Chicago Attorney Named For Chairman Following Resignation Asked to Quit Feb.ll New Head Managed Gov. Homer's Campaign in Cook Connty SPRINGFIELD, 111-'May 5 Governor Homer today announced the appointment of James M.

Slat t'ery, his campaign manager in Chi cago, as chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, succeeding Benjamin F. Lindheimer. The resignation of Lindheimer, who took the chairmanship three years ago at the start of the Ror- ner administration, was made effective May 1. Appointment of Slattery a major state position was the first change of top-rank officials since the governor's renominatlon at the April primary. The change was generally unexpected at Springfield.

Slattery, who had charge of the Homer campaign against the Kelly- Nash organization in Cook, county, had been attorney for the Chicago Consolidated Park District. He was not reappointed to that post. Brother Slate Caididate Undheimer has been a close personal associate of the governor for years. Horace Lindheimer, brother, of the retiring chairman, was nominated for Cook county treasurer and supported the Kelly-Nash defeated nominee for governor, Dr. Herman N.

Bundesen. Slattery's appointment is to be sent to the Senate for confirmation tonight. Mr. Homer, returning from week-end in Chicago, said: "Mr. Lindheimer did an excellent Job for the state as chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission.

He resigned solely because remaining on the commission would mean further neglect of his business affialrs. Justice to him required acceptance of his resignation. I am sure that Mr. Slattery also will do a good. Job and that Is why I am appointing him." Every Objective Attained Slattcry had been attorney for the old Lincoln Park board and then attorney for the Consolidated Park District, which is under the control of Mayor Kelly.

He was not reappointed to that Job when his term expired after the primary. During the campaign, the governor accepted the resignation of John Martin, who was nominated state treasurer with antt-Hdrner support, as chairman of the "state tax commission. Lindheimer on Feb. 11 asked Gov. Hornet to accept his resignation not later than' May 1 so that he might devote all his time of his real estate business.

Gov. Homer formally accepted last night. Lindheimer informed the-governor he believed that "every objective in the utility program announced in your inaugural speech is an accomplished fact." Lindheimer was named commission chairman In the spring of 1933. Slattery is authorized by the state code to receive a salary of $6,000 annually, the same amount paid the other members of the commission. The term for the post ends, according to law Jan.
