Show v News Review of Current Events the World Over Assassination of Senator Long Stirs the Nation Great Britain Ready to Take Sanctions Against Italy Ickes Versus Hopkins. W. PICKARD By EDWARD Western Newspaper Union. P. LONG. United States and political dictator of Louan asisiana, Is dead, the victim of sassins bullet As he passed through a corridor of the state-housIn Baton Rouge, where the legislature was passing more laws to solidify his control over the state, he was shot once through the body by Dr. Carl A. Weiss, Jr, of Baton Rouge, King-fish- s one of the political opponents. The assassin Huey P. Long waa immediately shot to death by the senators ever present Huey e. bodyguards. The surgeons and physicians worked to save Long, but his unceasingly strength steadily waned and shortly after 4 oclock Tuesday morning, about thirty hours after the shooting, he passed away. Longs body lay in state In the rotunda of the Capitol building while many thousands passed by the bier. The Impressive funeral services were held on the front terrace and the dead senator was interred In a sunken garden of the Capitol grounds. Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, the young minister who deserted a rich parish in Shreveport to follow Long, was the only speaker at the funeral. The only music was the song, Every Man a King,' played in minor key and dirge time by the State University band. Though the man who killed Long was known as one of his poetical foes, the real story of the assassination was shrouded In uncertainty. Earl secretary of the late senator, declared that Long was murdered as a result of a conspiracy; that a num ber of his enemies formed a jury of death," and that Doctor Weiss was selected by lot to fire the fatal bullet. To those who are familiar with the conditions In Louisiana this story does not sound especially fantastic. What will become or Longs empire Is a question that agitates all his followers, and all the people of the state as well. For the present, it seemed likely, the members of the Long machine will sink their personal ambitions and try to hold the organization intact It will be difficult for them to decide on a successor to the Kingfish as their leader. Gov. O. K. Allen Is considered too mild and peace-lovinSeymour Weiss no relative of the sin-treasurer of the Long organization, Is the strongest man in the lot, but he always has drawn back from holding a public position. Allen A. Ellender, speaker of the house, may be the man finally selected, though Lieut Gov. James A. Noe is to the Chris-tenberr- assas- fore.

The other members are Spain, VJT Turkey and Poland. Senor Salvador de Madariaga of Spain is the chairman, and he and his associates at once began the task assigned them. Each country is represented by its chief delegate, Madariaga, Eden of England, Laval of France, Rustu Arras of Turkey and Josef Beck of Poland. Soon after the assembly of the league opened Its session, Sir Samufel Hoare, British foreign secretary, electrified the gathering by an outspoken warning to Italy and France. He declared Great Britain recognized Italys heed for expansion and raw materials but would not admit these could not be obtained peaceably. Pounding the tribune, he said : Britain stands for steady collective resistance to all acts of unprovoked aggression." He paused, struck the tribune again, and repeated quietly: "Steady collective resistance to all acts of unprovoked aggression. Sir Samuel more than intimated that Great Britain was prepared to take sanctions against Italy in case of aggression provided all the other members of the league shared the risk; and If not, then England was prepared isolate herself from the continent. This seemed to put It up to Premier Laval of France, to choose between the friendship of Britain and that of Laly. Laval, meanwhile, was trying to persuade Mussolini to accept anoth-c- r plan he had devised and postponed his speech to the assembly. Representatives of the Netherlands and Sweden were the first to ares position, announcing support their countries would fulfill all obligations, deluding collective penalties, If any ember became a victim of aggres-inn- . n 4 1 n to two speeches in Rome Mussolini gave indication that he would not be diverted from his purpose to conquer Ethiopia. Though in one he said the Italian people want peace provided it Is accompanied by Justice, in the oth er he declared we shall march straight on. The Ethiopian government announced that 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. Accepting the advice of his brain trust, which Includes Everett A. Colson of the United States, Emperor Haile Selassie Instructed his representatives in Geneva to reject all solutions thus far offered by the powers for settling the quarrel with Italy. These are a tripartite mandate over Ethiopia, as suggested by France, with the 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. PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATOR REACTION of American business and men to President Roosevelts latest public statement that his basic program has reached substantial completion and Industry will have a breathing spell ran the gamut between mild hope and downright unbelief. Those who permitted themselves to be quoted were generally extremely cautious In their expressions, but there was usually a vela of Wall skepticism in their remarks. Street brokers were gladdened by a spurt of trading at higher prices, but bankers were more than doubtful, an 4 economists insisted that a balanced budget, which wasnt mentioned in the Presidents letter to Roy Howard, publisher, was a prime requisite. Silas Strawn, former president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, said: Business men generally will say that the Improvement in some lines of business has been In spite of, rather than because of, the activities of the administration. Politicians regarded the letter as opening of his camand praised or paign for decried it according to their party affiliations. Frank Knox of the Chicago Daily News, a potential candidate for the Republican Presidential nomina tion, called It "just another promise and set forth the many campaign which Mr. Roosevelt has promises failed to keep. Senator Black of Alabama said the statement was a wonderfully clear explanation of his program, its original aims and its execution. It should be a call to those in engaged In business to further national progress. Howard had written the President that many business men had become convinced that there could be no real recovery until the fears of business have been allayed through the granting of a breathing spell to industry and a recess from further experimentation until the country can recover its Mr. Roosevelts and Work Progress Administrator Hopkins got into such a quarrel over the spending of the $4,000,000,-00- 0 losses. fund that the In a long letter the President rePresident had to call plied that the legislative program of them to Hyde Park, his administration had reached subthe with together stantial completion and the breathneutral third . and ing spell of which you speak is here member of the works decidedly so. relief triumvirate Frank G.
