PARDONS COURT

(Continued from Page l)

New Jersey Pardons Court to hear Bruno Hauptmannb plea for clem- ency. there were definite indications tonight it would be Wednesday.

No notices of a meeting have been sent to the court members, but the Governor. at their last session, ask- ed them to keep the first three days oi this week "open." '

With allowance for delivery of the notices to the member and to coun- sel for the State and the defence. who will probably be permitted to argue the merits of clemency for the man convicted of the Lindbergh baby slaying. Wednesday was looked upon as the logical time for a ses- sion.

Hauptmann and his wife, Anna, maintained an attitude of hopeful optimism, despite the approach of the date of execution~the week of Jan. i3. There were no signs the prison authorities would depart from their practice of carrying out such penalties 0n Tuesday nights at eight p.

After isitinu him in the death house yesterday, Mrs. Hauptrnann said: '

"I wish you could see him. He looks fine, and is cheerful and con- fldent."

URITICIZES HOFFMAN

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—The inter- vention of Governor Hoffman of New Jersey into the Hauptmann case was described today by Rabbi Stephen Wise-as an “inexcusable InIYl-lfilofi." prompted by political motives. . ’

" "I have been informed." he said.

that it was selfish and that he was expecting the nomination for vice- president!’

Rabbi Wise told a. gathering in Carnegie Hall that the New Jersey Governor "crudely, lumberingly and shamefully made public statements regarding a case. I can feel noth- ing but scorn and contempt for his making a light, unsober and uncon- sidered statement that was not good for anything but partisan politics and one calculated to stir doubts in the state and nation."

Dr. Wise deplored the departure of the Lindberghs for Europe.

Warfare

_ (Continued from Page i)

yesterday, 3.000 Italian bombs kill- ed 10 Ethiopians and wounded 15.

Concerning the Daggah Bur bombardment, today's announce- ment statedr "The whole town. a1- so the Egyptian Red Cross, was destroyed. The number of victims is unknown."

It continued: “Other Italian planes bombed the Korem region on the south urcnt at three pm. Saturday. ‘There were no victims."

The communique described two northern raids as follows: “On Jan. 2, three planes dropped many bombs on Denbat and Debra Tab- or. There were no victims. On Dec. 26 ,the region of Amba Alaji was bombed. Four were killed and many wounded."

A second communique asserted: “Yesterday six planes bombed the small town of Amba Bircouta in Walkait Province. The damage was slight and there were no victims."

Dr. Hylander, who will be oper-

ated upon for the removal of fragments in his side, said: "For several days before the bombing

Italian planes had machine-gun- ned all around the ambulance.

“The morning of the bombing I was in the operating theatre when a perfect tornado of bombs ‘and machine gun bullets sudden)" rained down on us.

"I had just time to see two lines of three planes each cnfllading the ambulance when I was hit and lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, It was to see the most terrible scene of carnage imagin- able.

“Scores of dead, dying and wounded lay around me amid the s-hrieks and groans of wounded men and the crackle of blazing tents. One tent had 425 bullet holes in it. "

"There was absolutely no ex- cuse for the raid. The ambulance had red cross emblems promin- ently displayed. in accordance with the international convention.

"There is no dcubt the Italians intentionally attacked. Three days previously they flew over the camp. On the second day. they dropped a circle of bombs l0 metres around the camp.

"This fourth day, six planes ag- ain came, and suddenly the most intensive bombing and machine- gunning began.

"Our camp was nearly a. mile from the troops of Ros Desta Demtu (son-in-law of Emperor HaileSelassie and Ethiopian com- mander on thc southern front)"

The personnel of the Egyptian unit included Dr. Raphael, direc- tor, and two Englishmen. Dr. David Stokes and Dr. Diiwklns.

At Ambo. Alajl. on the main caravan troll south of Makale. a squadron of bombers flew over the district for several hours and dropped thousands of gas and ox- plosive bombs, the government an- pounced.

Emperor Hallo Selassie told a Haves correspondent in Dessye that Italian bombings had caused Ethiopia to change its plans of warfare.

"The use of gas by the ‘Italians. he said." brings a new element into the war, entirely unknown to us. We do not think it will prove an advantage to the enemy."

Dr. Kurt Hanner. Swedish con- sui here, who returned from the southern front last night with two wounded Swedes after investigat- ing the bombing of thc Swedish Red Cross unit nesir Dolo, received a telegram from Prince Carl. head of the Swedish Red Cross. telling him hundreds of Swedes hnd vol- unteered for service In Ethiopia.

GENEVA. Jan. 5—(A. I'm-Ethi- opla, charging that Itnly planned "even more callous" violations. of the rules of international wax-fore. appealed to tho League of Nations today to send a czmmissiou to the fronts to investigate and fix rs."- ponsibllity.

A note from Addis Ababa im-

plored the League to prevent ntro- cities. asserting Italy had an- nounced through iis press that a ruthless war of extermination was to be waged in Ethiopia. "Italy, being no longer able to deny certain crmes whim attract- ed world wide attention. now is at- tempting to jllStIfy them as repris- als aga‘nst alleged acts of cruelty, stated to have been committed by Ethiopians." said the message.

“These allegations form part of a campaign of disparagement and abuse launched against Ethiopia

and faked pho‘ __ phg.

"This campaign is now being re- sumed with a view of misleading Public opinion over the responsi- bility for odious crimes-tho bomb- ing by airplanes of hospitals and ambulances-of which there recent- ly have been many exemplars..."

Ethiopia urgently appealed that competent organs of the League take steps to prevent "further crimes" and "to set foot an. impar- tlal Inquiry into the way in which hostilities‘ are conducted by the two belligerent armies on Ethiopian territory. Ethiopia undertakes to give the mission every possible fa- cllity."

ROME. Jan. 5—(A. PJ-The lat- est official casualty list of Italy's losses in the East African cam- paign against Ethiopia showed to- clay 390 members of the Italian forces were killed. with 14 missing, up to Dec. 31, i935.

Sir Thomas Beecham Begins/ Third En- gagement With

Symphony Society.

(By John Selby Associated Press Staff Writer)

NEW YORK. Jan. 5—(A.P.)—- Sir Thomas Beecham makes music with laughter.

sir Thomas began his third en- gagements as guest conductor of the New York Philharmonic-Sym- phony Sosiety last week. He began it with a lot of unfamiliar music and a good gag.

At rehearsal he arrived at a softly sentimental spot in Vaughan Williams’ "London" symphony. He dropped back into the chair which shares the podium with him .at rehearsal, and looked benignly about him.

"That? he said. speaking.”

Even the dourest of the orches- tra laughed-_What’s more, they all worked very hard. Presently one of the percumion men left off a final bong of the cymbals on the end of Sir Edward- E!gar's “Coc- aigne" overture. Sir Thomas flung his arms wide, pulled at the flut- ter of hair on his chin, and shout- ed in high good humor:

"Gentlemen of the percussion. I commend your erring brother to your tender care."

The crring brother laughed too. And he didn't forget.

Sir Thomas is rather short. _a little round, and likes clothes cut for comfort. He rehearses in his shirt sleeves, bouncing in and out nf his chair ilkc a rubber man. He conducts with generous gestures. dancing from leg to leg with the music; he looks in fact, a little like a modem Pickwick.

For his philharmonic listeners he is providing a short festival of English music-Williams. Elgar, Delius, Dame Ethel Smith. Holst. Bax and some less well known. Plus ‘some Mozart symphonies, in- cluding one (the "Parish which is almost unknown in the United States. -

TEIIS STRANGE STIIRY IIF IIFATII ANII MADNESS

Party Brings Aid To Stricken Family In Small Ontario Settlement.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

IFORT WILLIAM, Jan. »t—A strange story of death and madness in the wilds of the Saganaga Lake country was brought here today by Ontario Provincial Constable K. A. Patterson who. with Coroner Dr. J. W. Cook, returned from the homo of Lawernce Major, trapper, now lodged in Port Arthur jail pending examination for sanity.

One of Major's children is dead from an undiagnosed disease and his wife is seriously ill. It was to investigate first reports that two Major children had died from what was believed to be spinal meningitis. that the trip to Saganaga Lake, 100 miles southwest oi.’ here, was made.

The men travelled by automobile t0 Grand Morals, Minn. Weather would not permit flying to the lake. Sanitary inspector John Sims‘ ac- companied them. They were forced to ,travcl some 209 miles by snow- shoe after roads got too bad for the car.

On their way to the Major home, Constable Patterson and Sime were met by an American doctor. nt- tached to one of the United States civilian corps camps, coming out on skiis. He had been asked to visit the Major home and reported one child. about six years old was dead in the one room shack.

The father. he said. was out of his mind and had refused to allow any one to approach the house. threatening to Qioot any one who attempted to enter.

However. the. American doctor said, he had managed to gain ac- cess and had seen the dead child, who seemed to have perished from pneumonia and malnutrition. The rest of the family, while seriously ill. seemed to bc in want of props nourishment. ~

When Sime and Constable Pat- terson reached Major's shack it war. two o'clock in the morning. Thcy saw the dead child. The mother was seriously ill and thc father and four other children. one a baby sir; months old, appeared badly in need of food.

Constable Patterson immediately took chagc of Major and broivht him to Port Arthur. Simc W95 lift in charge of the home and the con- stable, on way back, picked up Dr. Cook at a shock where he had halt- ed after his companirus wont for- ward on fcot.

Mrs. Ma_ior's family, named Pow- ell, live near lrer but ivez-e nnabW. to aid for fea" of Major. Now, Con- stable Piittcrson reported they were rendering oil assistance nos- slble and the funeral of the dead child is to be held tomo'roiv.

ITALYSEES i93BYEAR nririlmvu

Nation Pins Faith On Il Duce Plans and Power to Realize Ambitions.

(Canadian Press)

ROME, Jan. 5—Italy heralds i936 as her year of destiny. It may be forward to power and glory; it may be backward to war and de- struction.

This year Italy generally expects to see the fruition of her aspir- ations for "a place in the sun." She believes it will bring consol- idation of the Empire in East Af- rica, enhancement of Fascist dip- lomatic prestige in Europe and re- cognition c! the justice of Italy's cause » throughout the world.

On the darker side is the ever- present possibility of European war. Many believe war ls inevit- able. Before surrendering to sanc- tions. these prophets say, Italy will wager her chances of emerging from a continental cataclysm with increased power against internal chaos and. collapse of her vigorous ambitions.
