The complete front page of a newspaper has been transmitted across the country by radio for the first time. Engineers of the General Electric company today reported that successful experimentation had permitted them to read the first page of the San Francisco Call Bulletin three hours after it had left the press. It was reproduced in full size in the laboratory by a new type automatic carbon recorder, connected to short-wave receiving equipment actuated by signals originating 2,500 miles away. The engineers forecast many possibilities for this improvement in fac-simile transmissn, which, while still in a highly experimental stage, gave an Indication that some day radio may be delivering a large part of business mall and may also bring daily newspapers directly Into, the home.

Young, son of Owen D. Young, chairman of the to have sprung up in the Italian delegation. The Italians contend that this phase of the conference, toward solving which the British and the French are bending their efforts, Is divided into three main points. The first Is that it is solely a question for the League of Nations, affecting all the members of the league; the second, that it does not fall within the aims of the naval conference, and the third, that it does not solve the question of parity between France and Italy, on which Italy still stands firmly. After ten weeks of deliberations at the conference, most of ich have bpen carried on chiefly by the other delegations, with the Italians only occasionally taking a prominent part, an Kalian spokesman tonight strongly Intimated that his delegation was now envisaging a plenary session iir which )all the delegations would give their views on the progress made so far.

Though the settlement of the Amer-ioan-British-Japanese problem drew approval from the Italians, the Italian headquarters was united tonight in the determination that Italy should not concede anything on the question of parity. The spokesman, who Is one of the closest in the delegation to Foreign Minister Dino Grandi, declared that the Italians were looking beyond the naval conference in contending for parity with the strongest continental power. They had in) mind the future attitude of Italy at the general disarmament conference of the League of Nations. He asserted that the position of the delegation was that a confession on claims for naval parity with France might well involve the necessity at some future date of conceding superiority in military or in air power to a continental power, when these questions should come before the league for settlement. In outlining the problem facing the WITH Italians, tfie spokesman touched upon the question of European blocs, maintaining that the balance of power on the European continent was one of the most essential factors in preserving peace.

It is understood that Signor Grandi recently presented these arguments to Prime Minister MacDonald and Foreign Secretary Henderson In reaffirming Italys claims to naval parity with France. The present Italian desires indicate almost a 'Complete reversal of sentiment since last week, when the delegation opposed the calling of a plenary session of the conference.

ROME, April 3 ().

The Stefan! News agency tonight reported that the Empress Zauditu, of Abyssinia, had died suddenly yesterday afternoon at Addis Ababa. She was born in 1876, a daughter of Menelik, and was nominated empress In September, 1916. She was the daughter of Emperor Menelik II, who died in 1913, and succeeded her nephew, Llj Yasu, dethroned In 1916. Her successor Is the Ras Taffari, great-nephew of Menelik, who has been the real ruler of the country for several years. The Ras, crowned negus (king) In 1918, has transferred his following to the Imperial guebbi, which he has occupied with troops.

The country Is reported to be quiet and the capital was tranquil today. The Ras Taffari. one of the worlds most picturesque rulers, was crowned king of kings of Ethiopia, the conquering lion of Judah and the elect of God on Oct. 7, 1928, sharing the sovereignty with his aunt. Empress Zauditu.

Zauditu succeeded Llj Yasu, son of the second daughter of Menelik II, when Lij was deposed by public proclamation. She was nominated empress and queen of kings of Ethiopia. The Ras Taffari, great-nephew of Menelik, was at the same time proclaimed heir to the throne. The crowning of negus, proclaimed in the seventy languages of Abyssinia, the occasion of great festivities and rejoicing at Addis Ababa. King George, of England, sent official congratulations from England and a gigantic feast that lasted seven days was given to entertain visiting diplomat and Abyssinian princes.

The Ras, who will now officially become emperor, ascended to the throne and the regency after reconciliation with powerful tribal leaders who, of recent years, had frequently waged civil war in the ancient and mysterious African kingdom. The pomp and magnificence of his coronation was considered to be sufficient constitutional approval, for the time being, of the power that the Ras had wielded jointly with his aunt for ten years over a nation that was already a great empire in biblical days. The actual crowning was hidden from public view, a curtain being placed in front of the king as the empress placed the royal diadem on his head and handed him a sword. In 1924 the Ras made a European tour, being received by President Mil-lerand. of France, and feted at Paris.

He also had audiences with King Victor Emmanuel, of Italy; Pope Pius XI. Premier Mussolini and many other royalties and statesmen. To President von Hindenburg, of Germany, he presented two zebras and he made generous gifts of candles in Rome. The empire of Abyssinia, or Ethiopia, includes four kingdoms, besides many smaller and formerly independent or semi-independent states. It has an estimated area of 350.000 square miles and a population roughly put at about 10,000,000.

Addis Ababa, the capital, has a population of from 60.000 to natives and a foreign population of Greeks, Armenians and British Indians and Arabs of several thousand. The integrity of Abyssinian territory was guaranteed by an agreement signed by Great Britain, France and Italy In 1906. The empire has been a member of the League of Nations since 1923. Great Britain and Italy have recognized spheres of influence, set down In the agreement of 1906. The Ras has continually striven to improve the empire from the point of view of trade and communications.

Since his coronation he has done much to modernize Abyssinian political Institutions, which were essentially feudal In character. The new ruler of Abyssinia married Walzeru Menen in 1912. He has two sons and three daughters. TARDEEU SUFFERS ATTACK OF INDIGESTION IN PARIS From Page One. been poisoned.

(BOa 3 Suggests Fine Limit Be Kicked Up to $1,000 and Jail Term Fixed at Six Months. WASHINGTON, AprU 3 (If). Mitchell, In a confidential communication to the house Judiciary committee, considering the legislative proposals of the Hoover law enforcement commission, approved the bills, provided certain, changes be made which would meet the approval of Chairman Wickersham, otf the commission. Mitchell suggested the maximum penalty be increased from a $500 to $1,000 fine and six months imprisonment or.

both, and favored a redraft of an original commission bill to prevent district attorneys from calling a defendant in a minor' liquor case before a grand jury, after a trial before a United States commissioner. In the same letter Mitchell strongly opposed a bill, by Representative Stobbs Mass.) to modify the Jones five-year and $10,000 fine law by defining slight and casual offenders, and fixing the maximum penalty at six. months Imprisonment and a fine of $500. Two bills by Representative Christopherson S. embodying plans for defining felonies and misdemeanors under the United States code and setting up juryless trials by commissioners, also were disapproved by Mitchell.

The attorney-general contended that the Stobbs bill lacked in exactness of definition, placed a tremendous burden on the government in the prosecution of major violations of the dry laws and That it would for all practical purposes emasculate the Jones law and defeat the purpose of its enactment. Mr. Mitchell suggested that the com missions bills be changed to provide that trials before the United States commissioners not be operative In any district until the judges issue an order and designate the commissioners before whom the trials shall be conducted. The bill would be extended to include all offenses, the punishment for which does not exceed a fine of $1,000 or impris onment for not more than six months, or both. A decision on the legislative proposals of the commission to strengthen dry enforcement was set for next Wednesday by the house judiciary committee after failure today to reach an agreement on the major recommendations In the program.

With the committee divided on the commission's bills to permit juryless trials before United States commissioners and to define misdemeanor viola tions of the prohibition laws. Indications were that these measures would not be favorably reported to the house without radical changes.

Mr. Bier, who for many years declared himself to be the oldest active business man in the United States, was born in Austria. He emigrated to the Jersey city during the Mexican war.
