As Returning to Hills, Preparing Attack
NOGALES. Sonora. Mex., Oct. 15.
1 —1'TIP)—Squadrons of airplanes were ordered out to night by Gen. Juan Zertuche. military commander of Sonora, in an effort to cut down scattered parties of Mexican and Indian rebels spreading terror j [throughout this border state.
Detachments of rebel forces, or- : ganizing sporadic but weU coordi- j nated attacks on widely separated (settlements, were believed returning |to mountain headquarters to pre-(pare for another series of swift j Ithrusts similar to those that threw (this border town in a panic last
Wight.
Reprisals Imminent
Swift reprisals for the slaying of |13 Mexican officials and soldiers, reportedly killed in skirmishes 30 jto 60 miles south of the border, were ordered by General Zertuche. However. Nogales, with a garrison of than 100 men, were not opti- ! [mistic over prospects of receiving einforcements in event of a raid.
The United Press learned mayors (presidentes) of several Sonora [towns received warnings two weeks ago to resign from office or be lulled.
The communications were signed “The Mob.” and were sent to widely separated places, indicating
Oxman Was in Woodland At Time of Bombing, Witness Relates
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 15.—(CP) —Earl K. Hatcher, “tne perlect defense witness.'’ stoutly aided Tom Mooney’s case today wfteu he vigorously insisted that the star witness against thc fam^d prisoner in his original trial must, have perjured himself.
Hatcher, a resident of Woodland. Calif., 100 miles from San Francisco, asserted that Frank C. Oxman. who identified Mooney and Warren K Billings in their trial for the 1916 preparedness day bombing, was in Woodland the day of the explosion.
Oxman, in bis original testimony, said that he jaw Mooney, his wife, Mrs. Rena Mooney, and Billings leave a dynamite-filled suitcase near the scene of the bombing. Story Not .Broken Hatcher, defiantly resisting efforts of Deputy Attorney General William F. Cleary to break down his story, emerged from the day’s session before State Supreme Court what! Refer?e A.

He said he did not reveal that he believed Oxman perjured himself during Mooney’s trial because

reported he received one of the warnings, but said he did not believe the raiders would attack the border town, a port of entry into j the United States, with American ' government buildings dividing the Mexican and Arizona sections of town.
A Mexican policc official, who re- j fused to allow his name to be used, said municipal officials in Sonora j had knowledge of an impending up-lising for several days. Border opin- 1 ion held the scattered but accurately timed raids show every indication of careful planning.
Raids Precede Attack
Raids south of Cananea occurred just befoe the attack on Santa Ana and Magdalena, where municipal officials and police reportedly were killed. Federal troops were dispatched to the southern zone, leaving the two towns undefended.
The border was comparatively | quiet, with the few remaining troops loitering about the Nogales presidio, nil heavUy armed, but apparently ]jt seriously concerned over the Situation.
ook Chute Placed Outside of Library
An outside book chute ln the T of the 35th street entrance to heny memorial library has been stalled and is now ready for use. c^ording to Miss Christian R. ick, librarian, this chute was totalled in answer to many requests hat some means be provided for he return of books during hours |hat the library is closed.
The chute is open for service af--r 10 p. m. and closes at 7:50 a. m. ach week day. On Saturdays the hute is open after 5 p. m. and regains open untU the following lenday at 7:50 a. m.

always had been “like a dad” to him. and he did not want to risk hurting a lifetime friend.
Then, when he did by chance tell a friend of his belief, “the news spread like wildfire,” Hatcher said.
Wilson Intervened
“I really didn’t mean to tell so much but it spread like wildfire. Before long I was subpoenaed and later federal agents from Washtog-■ ton came to question me. They said they were from President Wilson.”
It was President Wilson who I commuted a death sentence against 1 Mooney to life imprisonment.
Under cross-examination by Cleary. Hatcher said that Houls Oscar Whitehouse. proprietor of the Byrnes hotel, in Woodland, testi-, fied he took Oxman and himself ; to the Southern Pacific station in that city at 9 a.m. Julv 22. 1916, I “he would be telling a lie.”
Cleary indicated that the state i might call Whitehouse to testify that Oxman left Woodland in time to reach San Francisco before 2:15 P-m. July 22, the time of the bombing.
Both Hatcher and other defense witnesses alreadv have insisted that Oxman was in Woodland, or on a train en route to San Francisco, at the time of the exolosion.

Flight From Panama by Naval Plane Sets Record
ALAMEDA CALIF., Oct. 15—(lTP) —A new type of naval seaplane, with wing pontoons which fold back in flight, established a long distance flight record today for the United States navy, completing a flight here from the Panama canal to 34 hours. 45 minutes.
Lieutenant Commander Kneffler J. McGinnis, veteran naval pilot, led a crew of five on the flight, which covered an estimated 3.300 statute miles.
The plane, painted the regulation silver color of United States naval craft, streaked up the coast of central America, Mexico and California at an average speed of approximately 128 miles an hour.
The previous long distance record for seaplanes was believed to be that credited to Mario Stoffani. Italy, established January 16-17 of this year when be flew an Isotte-Franschtoi, 3063.16 miles from Mal-felcone, Italy, to British Somaliland.
To be credited with a new record the United States fliers must have travelled 100 miles farther than Stoffani. It was believed thev had covered approximately 237 miles more than Stoffani.
The entire cr^w of the plane appeared fresh and untired after the long hop, most of which was made overwater. They said that ordinary weather conditions were encountered the length of the flight; with no extraordinary circumstances prevaUing.
Prime purpose of the trip was to “ferry the plane to the San Diego naval harbor base, and secondly, to establish a new distance record if possible. When the fliers roared over San Diego this morning— which they were scheduled to reach at 10:30 a. m.. P. S T.—Thev were so far ahead of schedule they decided to continue on to the San Francisco Bay region to a try for the distance mark.

League Settles Boycott Goods
General Measure Against All Italy’s Products Favored by Many
GENEVA. Oct. 15—(ID—A general boycott of all Italian products was favored by many delegates tonight as the third step in league penalties against Italy for attacking Ethiopia.
Capt. R. Anthony Eden of Great Britain suggested that all members immediately stop importing from Italy. Italy’s chief exports are luxuries such as wine, Gorgonzola cheese, spaghetti and fruits.
The economic subcommittee swung its attention to paralyzing Italy’s war industry but discovered that non-lsague nations control production of many “Key Products” which must be embargoed if Italy’s East African war is to be choked off.
Products Listed
The subcommittee tentatively drew up three lists of products vital to a nation waging war. The first consists of raw materials controUed by league members, the second of products partly controlled and the third of products over which the league has doubtful influence.
The experts decided manganese j ore, chromium, iron, ferrol-manga-nese. amalgum,' tungsten, molybden and radium could be blocked from the Italian market If 50 league members cooperate to penalties.
The list partially or doubtfully controUed includes aluminum, bauxite (the ore from which aluminum is made), steel, nickel, nitric acid, nitrates and rubber.
Soviet Suggestion Tabled
Maxim Litvinoff, soviet foreign commissar, suggested a fourth list including shipping facilities, actual sale of vessels, automobiles and machine tools. This was held in abeyance.
The subcommittee decided that at present it is inadvisable to try to withhold from Italy oil. copper, and coal, because the United States is the chief producer.
Although Canada, a league member. produces 80 per cent of the world’s nickel, this metal was relegated to the “partly-controlled” list because of heavy United States interests in Canadian nickel.
Zeta Phi Eta Will Hold Rush Party
The second rush function of the school year for Zeta Phi Eta. national professional dramatics’ sorority. will be a social gathering at the studio, 2625 Portland avenue, tonight at 8 o’clock. Bess Mathew is general chairman of the arrangements.

ETHIOPIAN SOUTHERN ARMY HEADQUARTERS, NEAR JIJIGA, VIA DJIBOUTI. Oct. 15.—(U.E)— Ethiopian troops have started a “general attack” on Gen. Rodolpho Graziana's columns invading Ogaden province from Italian Somaliland, Dedjazmatch Nassibou, commanding Emperor Haile Selassie’s southern armies, announced today.
The decision to attack followed a conference of black chieftains at Nassibou’s rude, white-washed headquarters here, and formal charges— including a report to Emperor HaUe Selassie by an American medical missionary—of Italian atrocities.
No Mass Offensive
The general attack order apparently does not mean any mass offensive by the Ethiopians, but rather an intensification of their guerilla tactics and a determination to hold front line fortified positions, such as those around Garrahai— some 200 miles to the southeast— with every resource at their command.
AU the chieftains who attended the defense conference, so far sa could be learned, were confident that the Italian advance from the south can be retarded indefinitely by a continuation of the guerilla tactics.
The first panicky fear caused by Italian air raids and alleged chemical attacks seem to have disappeared entirely.
Italians Make 20 Kilos
Nassibou ordered the general offensive at 4 pjn. yesterday. Runners immediately were dispatched with the command to attack to aU field leaders to the front line areas far to the southeast.
Scouts earlier in the day had reported that the Italian invaders had gained only 20 kUometers along the Ogaden front after 11 days of their mechanized attack, during which their airplanes dropped thousands of bombs.
The morale of the Ethiopian troops continued high and it was indicated their successful resistance to their extreme front lines had given everybody new confidence. So successful has been the initial Ethiopian resistance that Nassibou believed his long-talked-of “decisive battle” wUl be delayed indefinitely. He still insists that he wUl not throw his reserves into action until the Italians reach more favorable grounds, near Jijiga.
Duce’s Son-in-Law Reconnoiters
With the Italian armies to Ethiopia, via Asmara. Oct, 15 — <C1E» — Count Galeazzo Ciano, leafier of the “desperate squadron” of Italian bombers and son-in-law of Premier Mussolini, returned today from re-connoitering the district between Makale and the Taccaze river and reported the way lies clear for an unresisted Italian advance.
Officers gave orders to strengthen the line to the vicinity of Aksum, holy city of the Ethiopians, preparatory to resuming the big push.
Clubs’ Status To Be Checked
Campus Organizations Will Be Investigated by Student Group
Checkups on all campus clubs and societies functioning under A. S. U. S. C. charters will begin immediately under direction of the organizations committee, headed by John Rounsavelle, who yesterday announced that a “rejuvenation process” wUl be put into effect to determine if the various S. C. student groups are abiding fully by their constitutions and if they are fulfilling their purposes of creditable service.
Because suspicions have been cast on the work being done by several campus clubs, the organizations committee has begun the investigation to give executives of aU groups an opportunity to publicize their activities.
Stodents Petition For Charters
Students desiring to form a local chapter of the National Student League have petitioned the committee for a charter, along with representatives of the School of Religion and the junior class council. When Rounsavelle and his workers meet for the first time in the new semester early next week, they wiU act to either refute cr grant acceptance of these petitions.
Rounsavelle, a member of Phi i Kappa Psi, serves as chairman of ! the organizations committee and is 1 assisted by Bill Conselman, Phi: Kappa Tau, George Cramer. Phi Kappa Alpha, and Jack Warner.! Zeta Beta Tau.
Constitution Available
Copies of the constitutions of each club or society, not under jurisdiction of the social or professional toterfratemitv councils or of the social or professional panhellenic councU, are on file to the A. S. U. S. C. office. Presidents of these groups have been requested by Rounsavelle to meet with him to the student body office, 202 Student Union, any afternoon between 1 o’clock and 3 o’clock, to report on the work done by their members last year and on the activities planned for the coming semester.
The organizations committee is empowered by the A. S. U. S. C. constitution to recommend the granting of charters, upon agreement of the faculty organizations committee, to the student body council, which takes final action. The body also holds the power to institute suspension actions, under the same procedure.
French Move Is Surprise

PARIS, Wednesday. Oct. 1«— (U.R) — French government officials regard an tncrea&ing Mrain on Franco-British relations as “most grave,’* according to Pari« morning newspapers.
LONDON.

Faculty Club Will Meet For Luncheon Address
Thompson Webb. prominent Southland cducator and founder of the Webb School of CaUfomia. will address the Faculty club at a luncheon today at 12:20 in the Women’s Residence hall.
He will relate the history of the institution of which he is now head. ‘This is a fascinating narrative, and should be of particular interest to educators,” announced Dr. Garland Greever, program chairman.
PARIS. Oct. 15. — (UJ»> — Premier Pierre Laval remained optimistic tonight despite the cool reception ln London and Rome of his plan for Britain to withdraw its home fleet from the Mediterranean whUe Italy halted its advances in Ethiopia.
The French plan, revealed to the United Press by an official source, would be a prelude to negotiations for a peaceful settlement in East Africa. It is understood Lavel wants Pope Pius to invite the heads of the three 1906 treaty powers—Britain, France, and Italy—to a peace conference, presumably at Vatican City.
Scheme Planned
Laval Was believed to have “planted” the seed of his ambitious scheme to conversations with British Ambassador Sir George Clark; Italian Ambassador Vittorio Cerut-tl; and Papal Nuncio Luigi Magll-one, at the Qua d’Orsay last night.
First reaction abroad included:
London—The British foreign office professed ignorance of any such proposal, but reiterated that Britain's attitude in the Italo-Ethiopian situation remains unchanged. TTie problem now is entirely in the hands of the League of Nations. Britain already has assured Italy distinctly that her Mediterranean intentions are not aggressive but merely the result of the bitter anti-British campaign in the Italian press.
Italians Are Skeptical
Rome—Report fo the French peace plan was received with skepticism combined with mistrust. Political circles asserted that cm the basis of results thus far achieved Italy could not accept any formula which failed to approach the fuU maximum of the Fascist program. It was not beUeved that the people would Intervene to the conflict.
Addis Ababa—Ethiopia ls willing to accept a just and peaceful solution, but Emperor Haile Selassie cannot consent to any formula involving loss of Ethiopian sovereignty. Ethiopia wiU not surrender territory to force without resistance.
Pocahontas, Puck and Pat Will Frolic at Mardi Gras
By Hawkeye
Costumes at the Mardi Gras baU Friday night may be expected to run the gamut of historical, fictitious, international, and imaginary characters, if results of an advance survey conducted yesterday are at al! reliable as criteria.

Napoleon Bonaparte, whose presence probably has never been missed f’-om a masquerade dance since the day he was shipped off to St. Helena, will be handled Friday by Gardiner PoUich, Squires’ platinum hero of the pool. No, we
don’t see how he can be Napoleon, either. But give the boy a chance.
Ed Hallock. heckling yell king, announced that he will flash forth as Diamond Jim at the Mardi Gras, and is looking forward to a juicy fUm contract later. Dale Hilton, who always stuns, has decided to employ the rolp of Black Knight for this occasion.
Indians and cowboys galore will appear, probahlv to dominate the picture. Mary Todd is to be little Pocahontus, an impersonation previously considered by Flabby Cullenward.

Hatcher, a resident of Woodland. Calif., 100 miles from San Francisco, asserted that Frank C. Oxman. who identified Mooney and Warren K Billings in their trial for the 1916 preparedness day bombing, was in Woodland the day of the explosion. Oxman, in bis original testimony, said that he jaw Mooney, his wife, Mrs. Rena Mooney, and Billings leave a dynamite-filled suitcase near the scene of the bombing.

He said he did not reveal that he believed Oxman perjured himself during Mooney’s trial because Mayor Enrico Aguayo of Nogales 1 Oxman. “the honest cattleman.” reported he received one of the warnings, but said he did not believe the raiders would attack the border town, a port of entry into j the United States, with American ' government buildings dividing the Mexican and Arizona sections of town. A Mexican policc official, who re- j fused to allow his name to be used, said municipal officials in Sonora j had knowledge of an impending up-lising for several days.

Raids Precede Attack Raids south of Cananea occurred just befoe the attack on Santa Ana and Magdalena, where municipal officials and police reportedly were killed. Federal troops were dispatched to the southern zone, leaving the two towns undefended.

Then, when he did by chance tell a friend of his belief, “the news spread like wildfire,” Hatcher said. Wilson Intervened “I really didn’t mean to tell so much but it spread like wildfire. Before long I was subpoenaed and later federal agents from Washtog-■ ton came to question me. They said they were from President Wilson.” It was President Wilson who I commuted a death sentence against 1 Mooney to life imprisonment. Under cross-examination by Cleary. Hatcher said that Houls Oscar Whitehouse. proprietor of the Byrnes hotel, in Woodland, testi-, fied he took Oxman and himself ; to the Southern Pacific station in that city at 9 a.m. Julv 22. 1916, I “he would be telling a lie.” Cleary indicated that the state i might call Whitehouse to testify that Oxman left Woodland in time to reach San Francisco before 2:15 P-m. July 22, the time of the bombing. Both Hatcher and other defense witnesses alreadv have insisted that Oxman was in Woodland, or on a train en route to San Francisco, at the time of the exolosion. * the dance committee.

Flight From Panama by Naval Plane Sets Record ALAMEDA CALIF., Oct. 15—(lTP) —A new type of naval seaplane, with wing pontoons which fold back in flight, established a long distance flight record today for the United States navy, completing a flight here from the Panama canal to 34 hours. 45 minutes. Lieutenant Commander Kneffler J. McGinnis, veteran naval pilot, led a crew of five on the flight, which covered an estimated 3.300 statute miles. The plane, painted the regulation silver color of United States naval craft, streaked up the coast of central America, Mexico and California at an average speed of approximately 128 miles an hour. The previous long distance record for seaplanes was believed to be that credited to Mario Stoffani. Italy, established January 16-17 of this year when be flew an Isotte-Franschtoi, 3063.16 miles from Mal-felcone, Italy, to British Somaliland. To be credited with a new record the United States fliers must have travelled 100 miles farther than Stoffani. It was believed thev had covered approximately 237 miles more than Stoffani. The entire cr^w of the plane appeared fresh and untired after the long hop, most of which was made overwater. They said that ordinary weather conditions were encountered the length of the flight; with no extraordinary circumstances prevaUing. Prime purpose of the trip was to “ferry the plane to the San Diego naval harbor base, and secondly, to establish a new distance record if possible. When the fliers roared over San Diego this morning— which they were scheduled to reach at 10:30 a. m.. P. S T.—Thev were so far ahead of schedule they decided to continue on to the San Francisco Bay region to a try for the distance mark.

Laval Provokes Franco - British Peace Dispute Plan for Removing English * Mediterranean Fleet Received Coldlv League Settles Boycott Goods General Measure Against All Italy’s Products Favored by Many GENEVA. Oct. 15—(ID—A general boycott of all Italian products was favored by many delegates tonight as the third step in league penalties against Italy for attacking Ethiopia. Capt. R. Anthony Eden of Great Britain suggested that all members immediately stop importing from Italy. Italy’s chief exports are luxuries such as wine, Gorgonzola cheese, spaghetti and fruits. The economic subcommittee swung its attention to paralyzing Italy’s war industry but discovered that non-lsague nations control production of many “Key Products” which must be embargoed if Italy’s East African war is to be choked off. Products Listed The subcommittee tentatively drew up three lists of products vital to a nation waging war. The first consists of raw materials controUed by league members, the second of products partly controlled and the third of products over which the league has doubtful influence. The experts decided manganese j ore, chromium, iron, ferrol-manga-nese. amalgum,' tungsten, molybden and radium could be blocked from the Italian market If 50 league members cooperate to penalties. The list partially or doubtfully controUed includes aluminum, bauxite (the ore from which aluminum is made), steel, nickel, nitric acid, nitrates and rubber. Soviet Suggestion Tabled Maxim Litvinoff, soviet foreign commissar, suggested a fourth list including shipping facilities, actual sale of vessels, automobiles and machine tools. This was held in abeyance. The subcommittee decided that at present it is inadvisable to try to withhold from Italy oil. copper, and coal, because the United States is the chief producer. Although Canada, a league member. produces 80 per cent of the world’s nickel, this metal was relegated to the “partly-controlled” list because of heavy United States interests in Canadian nickel.

ETHIOPIAN SOUTHERN ARMY HEADQUARTERS, NEAR JIJIGA, VIA DJIBOUTI. Oct. 15.—(U.E)— Ethiopian troops have started a “general attack” on Gen. Rodolpho Graziana's columns invading Ogaden province from Italian Somaliland, Dedjazmatch Nassibou, commanding Emperor Haile Selassie’s southern armies, announced today. The decision to attack followed a conference of black chieftains at Nassibou’s rude, white-washed headquarters here, and formal charges— including a report to Emperor HaUe Selassie by an American medical missionary—of Italian atrocities. No Mass Offensive The general attack order apparently does not mean any mass offensive by the Ethiopians, but rather an intensification of their guerilla tactics and a determination to hold front line fortified positions, such as those around Garrahai— some 200 miles to the southeast— with every resource at their command. AU the chieftains who attended the defense conference, so far sa could be learned, were confident that the Italian advance from the south can be retarded indefinitely by a continuation of the guerilla tactics. The first panicky fear caused by Italian air raids and alleged chemical attacks seem to have disappeared entirely. Italians Make 20 Kilos Nassibou ordered the general offensive at 4 pjn. yesterday. Runners immediately were dispatched with the command to attack to aU field leaders to the front line areas far to the southeast. Scouts earlier in the day had reported that the Italian invaders had gained only 20 kUometers along the Ogaden front after 11 days of their mechanized attack, during which their airplanes dropped thousands of bombs. The morale of the Ethiopian troops continued high and it was indicated their successful resistance to their extreme front lines had given everybody new confidence. So successful has been the initial Ethiopian resistance that Nassibou believed his long-talked-of “decisive battle” wUl be delayed indefinitely. He still insists that he wUl not throw his reserves into action until the Italians reach more favorable grounds, near Jijiga.
