Senator Long Assassinated
by Political Opponent
HUEY P. LONG, United States
senator and political' dictator
of Louisiana, Is dead, the victim
of an assassin’s bullet. As he passed
through a corridor
of the state-house
in Baton Rouge,
where the legisla
ture was passing
more laws to solid
ify his control over
the state, he was
shot once through
the body by Dr.
Carl A. Weiss. Jr.,
of Baton Rouge,
Huey P. Long
one or me iving
flsh’s" political op
ponents. The assassin was immedi
ately shot to death by the senator's
ever present bodyguards.
Long was hurriedly taken to a
hospital and eminent surgeons were
summoned. They found the bullet
had gone through the base of the
right lung and passed out of the
back, puncturing the colon and
causing internal hemorrhage. After
the wound had been cleansed, two
blood transfusions were given, the
blood being supplied by Lleut.
Gov. James A. Noe. Mrs. Long and
her daughter Itose were brought
from New Orleans and sat at the
senator’s bedside.
The surgeons 'and physicians
worked unceasingly to save Long,
hut his strength steadily waned and
shortly after 4 o’clock Tuesday
rooming, about 30 hours after the
shooting, he passed away.
The motive of Doctor Weiss, an
eye. ear, nose and throat specialist,
apparently grew out of the high
handed political methods of Sena
tor Long in Louisiana. The position
of his father-in-law. District Judge
B. H. I’avy of Opelonsas parish, an
anti-1,ong leader, is jeopardized by
a law Introduced in the present
special session to gerrymander his
district. The taw would put the
home of Judge Puvy In Landry par
ish. It was being pushed through
the legislature with machinelike
precision.
In August, Senator Long told the
senate that at a conference In the
Hotel De Soto In Nevy Orleans last
July 21 his foes had, discussed a
plot to kill him.
Long’s opponents laughed at this
story. Just as they always have ridi
culed his practice of having an
armed guard accompany him every
where.
Political leaders of all parties ex
pressed their deep regret for the
assassination of Senator Long. His
devoted followers in Louisiana and
elsewhere mourned Ids death. He
had been one of the picturesque
figures In America's political life,
creating innumerable enemies but
persistent in advocating his Ideas
which appeared fantastic to most
citizens. A Democrat, he had brok
en with the administration and oft
en bitterly attacked President
Roosevelt and the New Dealers. It
was the belief of many that he In
tended to become the Presidential
nominee of a third party compris
ing his own “share the wealth”
crowd and various other groups dis
satisfied with the policies, of the
old parties

The assembly of the league began
Its sessions In Geneva, bringing to
that city many of Europe’s fore
most statesmen, and It was a cer
tainty that the assembly would be
definitely hostile to Italy and ready
to consider the Imposing of penal
ties on Italy the. moment any overt
■A .
oqcurs. Tbe Italians hoped to
prolong the Inquiry by the commit
tee of five until after the adjourn
ment of the assembly, and their op
ponents were building up a solid
front, preparing for the application
of sanctions against an aggressor
as provided for In article 16 of the
league covenant Baron Alois! -told
Captain Eden that the African cam
paign would not begin while the as
sembly was In session.
In two speeches In Rome Mus
solini 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 Jus
tice," In the qther he declared “we
shall march straight on.” The Ethi
opian government announced that
"telegrams from the northern fron
tier show that the Italians are mak
ing Important troop movements on
the Ethiopian and Eritrean fron
tier, Indicating an early offensive
against Ethiopia.”
Accepting the advice of his “brain
trust,” which Includes Everett A.
Colson of the United States, Em
peror 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 man
date over Ethiopia, as suggested by
France, with the League of Nations
guaranteeing Ethiopia's independ
ence and territorial Integrity;
France's proposal for aq Italian pro
tectorate similar to that of the Brit
ish In Iraq, and an International po
lice force similar to the one that
occupied the Saar before Its restor
ation to Germany.
Aloisi Presents Italy’s
Case Against Ethiopia
Baron pompei aloisi, cold
and sardonic, stood up before
the League of Nations and present
ed Italy’s case against Ethiopia,
denouncing that,
empire a s utterly |
unworthy to be |
classed with civ- 1
lllzed countries. In
addition to his
speech he laid be
fore the council a
long memorandum I
detailing t he al- |
leged conditions of |
slavery that still 1
prevail in Ethiopia
and the partielpa
B'aron Alois)
tion of its government in the slave
trade. The memorandum was elab
orately documented.
Addressing the council, Alolsl said
in part:
“The Ethiopian government does
nothing to make itself worthy of
belonging to the community of civ
ilized nations. Even today that coun
try has to be represented by Euro
pean advisers in order to make its
voice heard in the League of Na
tions.
“The Italian government consid
ers, in these circumstances, that a
state such as Ethiopia cannot have
either equality of right or equality
of duties as compared with civ
ilized states. To claim that mem
bers of the league are required to
observe rules of the covenant In
their relations with members who
have always and constantly been
outside those rules is contrary to
all the principles of right and Jus
tice.”
To the press correspondents the
baron was even more explicit. “You
have heard the Italian thesis,” he
said. “That Is Anal. Italy has asked
nothing, not even the withdrawal of
Ethiopia from the league. From now
on Italy will play a passive role
here. We are not going to discuss
anything with Ethiopia, but we will
discuss Ethiopia with the league.
“It is up to the members of the
league council to decide whether
they want to expel Ethiopia or ex
pel Italy.”
Reactions to President’s
Letter Are Various
REACTION of American business
and financial men ta President
Roosevelt's 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 down
right unbelief. Those who permit
ted themselves to be quoted were
generally extremely cautious In
their expressions, but there was usu
ally a vein of skepticism In their
reiparks. Wall Street brokers wSre
gladdened by a spurt of trading at
higher prices, but bankers were
more than doubtful, and economists
Insisting that a balanced budget,
which wasn't mentioned In the
President’s 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 improve
ment In some lines of business has
been In spite of, rather than be
cause of, the activities of the ad
ministration."
Poltlclans regarded the letter as
Ur. Roosevelt’s opening of his cam
paign for re-election, and praised
or decried It according to their
party affiliations. Ftank Knox of
the Chicago Dally News, a potential
candidate for the'"Republican Pres
idential nomination, called it “Just
another promise” and set forth the
many campaign promises which Mr.
Roosevelt has failed to keep. Sen
ator Black of Alabama said the
statement was “a wonderfully clear
explanation of his program. Its orig
inal alms and Its execution. It
should be a call to those engaged
In business to co-operate In further
national progress."
Germany Protests Language
of a New York Judge
/"JERMAN Ambassador Hans
^ Luther called on Secretary of
State Hull and entered formal pro
test against ,the language used by
Magistrate Louis B. Brodsky of
New York In dismissing charges
against five persons arrested for
tearing the Nazi flag from the liner
Bremen In July. The magistrate Jus
tified the action of the rioters on the
ground that the display of the flag
carried, In their minds, “the same
sinister Implications of a pirate
ship, sailing defiantly Into the har
bor of a nation, one of whose ships
It had just scuttled, with the black
flag of piracy proudly flying aloft.”
Judge Brodsky also characterized
the Nazi state as “an atavistic
throwback to pre-medleval. If not
barbaric, social and political condi
tions.”
Ambassador Luther, who was act
ing on Instructions from Berlin,
must have known that Secretary
Hull couldn’t do much about it,
having no control over a city mag
istrate. However, Mr. Hull tried to
mollify an angered Germany by In
timating to Governor Lehman of
New York that an apology from
Brodsky was In order.
Hundreds Die in Hurricane
That Sweeps Florida
C'L.ORIDA was the victim of an*
" other terrific hurricane that
swept up from the Caribbean across
the keys and the southern end of
the state, then along the west
coast and into Georgia. The total
of fatalities was uncertain, but at
this writing the number of dead is
estimated at more than 500. Of
these perhaps 300 were war vet
erans in labor camps on the keys
where they were employed in con
struction work. All buildings on
many of the keys were demolished
and a relief train that had been
sent to take the veterans away from
the danger zone was smashed to
pieces. The survivors on the is
lands were without shelter, food
and medical supplies, but relief ex
peditions were quickly sent by the
Red Cross and other agencies.
The towns along the west coast
reported extensive property dam
age but few casualties.
Responding to assertions that the
great loss of life in the veterans’
labor camps was due to lack of
preparation against such a disas
ter, President Roosevelt ordered a
thorough investigation by Brig. Gen.
Frank T. Hines, administrator of
veterans’ affairs. Harry Hopkins,
head of the FERA which set up
the camps, also started an inquiry,
and so did the American Legion.
The affair promises to attain the
bad eminence of a national scandal.
Caught in the fury of the storm,
the Morgan liner Dixie, from New
Orleans for New York, was driven
aground on French Reef, about CO
miles south of Miami. Her passen
gers and crew, numbering 372, were
in great peril for three days, and
various steamers and coast guard
cutters rushed to the rescue in re
sponse to her SOS call and as
soon as wind and seas abated
enough all were taken off the
stranded vessel and conveyed to
land, most of them to Miami. Pas
sengers on the Dixie warmly
praised the gallant work, of tbs,
ship's officers and crew,
Americans Cancel Big
Ethiopian Concession
WHILE the European statesmen
were struggling with the Italo
Ethlopian question, Secretary of
State Cordell Hull quietly took a
band in the game,
He did not In any
way Involve the
United States in
the wrangle, but he
put an end to the
deal whereby Haile
Selassie was giv
ing a great devel
opment concession
to Americans. Offi
cials of the Stand
8«e’y Hull
ara-vacuum uu
company went to
Mr. Hull’s office and admitted own
ership of the grant. The secretary
admonished them that the conces
sion had been "the cause of great
embarrassment not only to this
government, but to other govern-*
ments who are making strenuous
and sincere efforts tor the preserva
tion of peace.”
The oil men thereupon announced
their intention of withdrawing from
the deal with Ethiopia, and the big
concession sensation was entirely
deflated. The British government
was especially pleased with this
outcome and deeply grateful to
Secretary Hull.

EXPERT OFFERS
TIPS ON SAUCES
What They Are and How to
Make Them Explained
by Leading Expert
The word sauce has, in culinary
natters, divers meanings. It may be
fruit cooked with sugar, until it is
of the consistency of a white sauce,
or it may have the pieces of the
fruit or whole berries, unbroken in
• rich liquid of delectable flavor. It
may be a mellow, smooth, thin paste
highly seasoned and variously col
ored, a rich sauce for meat or fish
or fowl. Or It may be a sweet
creamy liquid for puddings and des
serts.
The time for discrimination in the
significance of the word has come,
however. Some sauces are in real
ity, compotes. This Is when the ber
ries or cut fruits remain unbroken,
or as nearly so as the kind permits.
For example applesauce ls*>*not a
sauce but a compote when pieces are
unbroken. It is a much more epi
curean dish among cooked fruits,
than the sauce, which is of strained
fruit, and Is used much as is a relish.
Applesauce is a side dish for pork,
and other meats. A compote of ap
ples may be so served, but it may
be served for a dessert with cake or
rich cookies. Each has Its place and
is a favorite dish.
Many of the dishes once termed
sauces have evolved into relishes,
for example, spiced fruits are ac
counted relishes today, while mashed
ripe fruits, or slightly cooked and
lavishly sweetened fruits become
sauces well liked for ice creams and
other desserts. It is the sweet sauce
that is featured for desserts. The
sauce with zest Is for meat or fish,
entrees of like kind, and for poultry
and birds, etc.
For the group of sauces with zest
there is one foundation, a roux which
may be white or brown according to
whether the flour has been browned
in the butter or not. A rich roux
has equal parts butter and flour,
which Is thinned with stock, or with
milk. The French chefs use stock,
and scorn a sauce of this kind that
Is otherwise made creamy. Water
can be used for thinning a founda
tion of one tablespoonful of butter
and one of flour—or two of flour, Nit
such a sauce is scarcely worthy the
name, it is so inferior. Roux of
either kind is a basic sauce, from
which many others can be made.
Another group of sauces with zest
have nothing In common with the
roux group. Mint, sauce for mutton
and lamb la one. This has vinegar
and mint as principal ingredients
with sugar to mellow It. Then there
are various kinds with mayonnaise,
as a base, or the mayonnaise Itself,
a very rich sauce tor salads, meats,
and fish. Tartar sauce chiefly for
fish has mayonnaise for a foundation,
with other Ingredients added, such
as a little onion, parsley, olives,
capers, and pickles all minced.
There are endless kinds of salad
sauces with mayonnaise as the base
such as Russian dressing, Creole
sauce, Thousand Island dressing. Or
a boiled dressing may be Substituted
for the olive oil mayonnaise.
