Attention centered on Doheny In connection with a senate probe of leases Involving the Elk Hills and Teapot Dome naval reserves, which Italy Calls It Routine Meanwhile, Emperor Says All Solutions to Problem Are Impossible (By th A.aocUted Frets) Addis Ababa, Sept. 9. An Ethiopian government communique today said telegrams from the northern frontier show that the Italians are making important troop movements on the Ethiopian and Eritrean frontier, indicating an early offensive against Ethiopia.

Italian Minister Luigi Vinci-Gig--liucci told the Associated Press: Our troop movements do not mean an attack but merely are routine replacements in conformity with the scheme for training recruits. Emperor Ilaille Selassie, it was learned on the highest authority today, has instructed the Ethiopian delegation at Geneva to reject outright all solutions thus far proposed by the powers for the settlement of the Italo-Ethlopian conflict. None is Acceptable. These formulas include a tri partite mandate over Ethiopia, as suggested by Prance, with League of Nations guaranteeing Ethiopias independence and territorial integrity; Frances proposal for an Italian protectorate similar to that of the British in Iraq, and an international police force similar to the one that occupied the Saar before its restoration to Germany. The emperor made it clear to the delegates that Ethiopia will go dowi fighting rather than accept any of the conditions now proposed, even if the League is dragged down with it.

Urged to Remain Adamant. The emperors decision followed a consultation with his brain trust, including Everett Andrews Colson, his American financial adviser, who urged him to maintain an iron front 1 tgalnst the various peace schemes 1 emanating from Geneva. The emperor is also absolutely against an Italian political and economic hegemony in Ethiopia in any form. Informed circles reported him willing to have foreign experts come to Ethiopia to assist the government in developing and administering the country but under.no circumstances can he accept Italian experts. Willing to SelL It is Understood that the emperor Is willing to negotiate for the sale to Italy of part of Ogaden, the easternmost territory of Ethiopia, and also to grant Italy the right to construct a railway or highway from Eritrea to Gondar and a highway from Assab to Addis Ababa, con struction of which was agreed to In 1926 but later cancelled.

The emperor also Is willing for the League of Nations to nominate his advisers provided he has the right to reject any he considers unacceptable. It was learned that if the Ethiopian army succeeds in driving the Italians from Ethiopia, the government has no Intention of advancing into Eritrea and Italian Somaliland with a view toward annexation. It was pointed out that the Ethiopians cannot live in those lowlands because of the terrific heat, lack of adequate water and foodstuffs and the prevalence of malaria and other diseases.

Dr. Carl Austin Weiss Jr, died last night under the blazing guns of Longs bodyguards after he had shot and seriously wounded the senator. Dry-eyed, but obviously suffering tremendously from the shock, Mrs. Weiss told of her sons activities prior to the shooting. She bemoaned the fact her son was riddled by guns in the hands of Longs bodyguards.

Blames Bodyguard. "When he did a thing like that he must have known he would be killed Instantly, she said. "But they (the bodyguard) didnt have to kill him the way they did. They didnt have to kill him at all. Mrs.

Weiss said her son attended Sunday morning mass with his wife and 3 -month-old baby boy. then went to the parents home for Sunday dinner. The entire family later went to a nearby lakeshore where Dr. Weiss fished and swam in the afternoon. No Intimation of Plans.

"We had no word, no intimation, nothing, she said. "All we know is that he took living seriously. Right with him was right. Right above everything. But Im so afraid now.

I dont know what they will try to do with us. My son and his wife went In swimming while my husband and I stayed on the shore in the camp, playing with the baby. We stayed out there in the woods all day. We never came back to the city until almost 7:30 oclock last night. "My son and his wife let me and his father off at our house whilg they went on home to make their own supper.

Plans for the Morrow. Dr. Weiss, the mother said, ate supper and then went out in the yard and fed the dog and fondled it. At 8:30 he called a patient and told him to be at the hospital early Monday morning for the operation for which they had arranged. "Then he helped his wife, put the baby to bed.

At 9 oclock he had to go out on a sick call. This is what I cannot understand. The capitol is only a stones throw from his house. Maybe he went over there to look in because we knew it would be in session last night. I dont know why he went in.

None of us can understand it. Happy Family Blasted. "But he must have gone almost straight from his house to the capitol for his wife says positively it was about 9 o'clock when he left. All day Sunday we were Just a happy family group. We have been so proud of him.

He had the whole world in front of him. The first I knew of what had happened was when a newspaper man came to this house last night and told me my boy had shot Senator Long. Oh, no, no, I cried. My boy never did that. My boy never could have done anything like that.

Not my boy. I guess now that is what any mother would have said. But he was a fine boy, keen and intelligent beyond the average. He was always reading in a book and he could do anything. Electricity, he could take care of that.

Carpentry, cooking, anything. His. future was brilliant. Whole Family Used It. When asked where her son had obtained the gun with which he shot Long, Mrs.

Weiss said he had the gun and often, when the whole family went out to their camp in the woods, they took turns firing It at objects in the water and woods. We did not use the gun Sunday, the mother said. "He may have had the gun in the car because his wife, Yvonne, says he often carried it in his car for protection, as so many people do. His wife did not see the gun Sunday at any time. "The only thing I am grateful for in this terrible thing is this: Thank God Senator Long was not killed.

I thank God for that. My boy is dead but I would never want to have that on his soul. He Is dead, my son. There Is no undoing that. The whole family has felt bitter toward Senator Long.

Mrs. Weiss said, because of his political actions but never was anything said of an attempt on the life of Long, Mrs. Weiss said. "Our family is a family that abhors bloodshed. This is a terrible thing.

I wish that nothing may be said about all this, about my boy, because I know that no one will give him justice after what has happened. I dont look for justice in this world.

Doheny, multimillionaire midas of the oil industry, 1s dead.

Applications for Farm Ponds Made -v Reservoirs May Be Built Under WPA as They Were Under KERC Application for ten ponds to be built in the county on private property with federal funds was included in the blanket project of WPA projects anticipated for Allen county within the next year. County Engineer A.

W. Young revealed today when it became known that such ponds could be built under WPA as they had been under KERC. Government specifications Insist that the ponds will impound 15 acre feet of water and have a surface area of at least three acres. The ponds are to be large enough to impound sufficient water to last through a protracted drouth. Mr.

Young said it was doubtful if there were available locations for many such ponds within the county. Only two of the seven KERC pond projects were that large, he said. A surface area of three acres impounding 15 acre feet of water would make the average depth of a pond about 5 feet. The landowner will bear 15 per cent of the total cost, which will not necessarily mean a cash outlay, but may be in the form of contributions such as teams, tractors, earth moving equipment, stone for rip rap delivered at the dam site, hand labor, or materials. According to Ogden S.

Jones, chief geologist supervisor of water conservation, In many cases the value of the stone delivered at the dam site will cover the owners contribution. Persons other than the owner, but benefiting in the pond, may make part of the contribution, he said. In other words, one landowner with a good pond site should receive help from his neighbors as they will benefit by having an adequate water supply close at hand in times of drouth.
