Senator Huey Long, Stormy Petrel of

As soon as the news of the shooting spread excited crowds gathered around the Parliament buildings.
The Legislature was convened only last night in order to rush through a batch of bills favoured by Senator Long. An eyewitness said that blood was streaming from Long's mouth as he was carried from the building.
Only last month the "Louisiana Dictator alleged in a speech before the Federal Senate that a plot had been hatched to assassinate him on the floor of the Senate, but his story was not taken seriously.

Addis Ababa, To-day.
Revenge for Adowa will be the first aim of Italy in the event of war with Ethiopia. It is understood that the first attack will be made from the north, where General Delbono is in command, and will continue onwards from. Adowa to the Axsum district, where Rasse- youm is in command of a force reliably estimat- ed at 305,000.
Rasseyoum is likely to refuse to battle for some time to allow the Italians to advance. The Italians are said to have 100,000 white troops in Eritrea in addition to thousands of na tive soldiers, but run the risk of having their flanks harried by the Ethiopians' guerrilla tactics as their lines of communi- cations lengthen. It is known that 50,000 Ethiopian troops. reportedly well-armed, are near Gondar...
