'ASBURY PARK EVENING PRESS, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1935 from the outset. One of Italy's demands has been for "controlled disarmament" of Ethiopia, and Mussolini was represented as wanting assurances that there would be real disarmament and reorganization of Emperor Haile Selassie's army under Italian control. The Italian proposals, however, made no special reference to designation of Italians if foreign advisers should be named for Ethiopia under the fivepower committee's program. Demands Held ADDIS ABABA, Sept. 23 (P)-Italy's latest demands for settlement of its confict with Ethiopia, as reported from Geneva, caused mingled: amusement, indignation and amazement in Ethiopian official circles today.

"Preposterous" and "crazy" were some of the terms used by officials to characterize Premier Benito Mussolini's reported demand for cession of rich territory of Addis Ababa. A for Emperor Haile Selassie said such a grant would leave Ethiopia not much more than mountains and deserts and would increase greatly the danger of invasion in the future. The spokesman said, "The only territory the emperor is willing to cede is Ogaden and Assua provinces, and then only for cash revenues, useable in the national development of Ethiopia. The emperor offered this during the tripartite conference at Paris. "He might be willing also, as previously, to permit Italians to build a railroad linking Eritrea and Italian Somaliland, but excluding territorial concessions, any specific economic zones or special political rights to Italy continguous to the railroad." Italy's reported stipulation that Ethiopia's access to the sea should be thru Italian territory was regarded by officials with strong disfavor.

The emperor's spokesman pointed out that such a suggestion obviously meant use by Ethiopia of Assad, an undeveloped harbor on the Gulf of Aden and the only port in Italian territory accessible to Ethopia, He said it would probably mean payment to Italy of heavy corridor duties and would give Ethiopia no advantages not enjoyed now by use of the French port of Djibouti. On the other hand, he said, access to the sea for Ethiopia thru Italian territory would inevitably bind the empire closer to Italy. Ethiopian political sources said today the nation never would accept an Italian demand for territory west of Addis Ababa, linking Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. Such a surrender would deprive the Ethiopian empire of an enormous part of its most fertile provinces, these sources said, giving Italy not only the richest gold and platinum country, but also productive coffee plantations. This area covers roughly 100,000 square miles.

An Italian demand that Ethiopia's outlet to the sea be thru Italian territory, reported reliably to have been made at Geneva by Baron Pompeo Aloisi, was considered equally unacceptable by Ethiopian officials. They pointed out that Ethiopia might as well use Mogadiscio or Massaua, present ports in Italian Somaliland and Eritrea. A demand for total disarmament of Ethiopia, however, was not considered impossible of fulfillment, provided cooperation of feudal chieftains with Emperor Haile Selassie was assured and the operation was carried out under league supervision. Italy Spikes Rumors ROME, Sept. 23 (P An official communique assured citizens of southern Italian and Sicilian ports today that neither British nor Italian naval concentration in the Mediterranean meant immediate war.

The announcement, issued thru the official Italian news agency, was published for the first time in the nation's newspapers. It repeated the news already published abroad that Sir Eric Drummond, British ambassador to Rome, had assured the Italian government that Britain's naval maneuvers in the seas near Italy did not presuppose British sanctions against Italy for its Ethiopian campaign. The communique said the British ambassador was assured in turn that Italian preparations in the Mediterranean were "purely precautionary and without aggressive intention." The announcement allayed a series of rumors, one of which had Naples, Palermo, Messina and Bari-all seaports in southern Italy and Sicilyplaced under military law. Another persistent but unconfirmed report dampened by the communique was that waterfront residents of Naples had been warned to prepare for evacuation of women and children. These rumors were believed in informed circles to have been inspired by the admitted tension which marked British and Italian relations before the Italian cabinet report Saturday a report which demonstrated possibility of further negotiations by the League of Nations in the Italo-Ethiopian crisis.

The reaction abroad to the cabinet decision was said in quarters to have stimulated that the informed, Ethiopian dispute would not lead Italy to war with any of its European neighbors. The cabinet will meet again tomorrow, when the question of Italy's future relations with the league in the Ethiopian crisis is expected generally to be considered anew. A willingness was expressed in official circles to discuss compromise measures for settlement of the controversy on a basis different from that for international development of Ethiopia advanced by the league's committee of five. Officials said, however, that Italy was determined to press a military campaign in Ethiopia, feeling that only by such a campaign--in which modern weapons would be called into playcould Ethiopia be eliminated as "danger." They explained that Italy would do everything in its power to avoid a clash with Britain, and if possible, would localize its conflict with Ethiopia in East Africa. Optimism prevailed in Italian political and diplomatic circles after Saturday's cabinet meeting and Britain's assurance that the presence of warships in the Mediterranean had nothing to do with sanctions.

The British announcement was said in political circles to have made an Italian protest to the league council against British naval activities unnecessary. Two hundred thousand soldiers of the classes of 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914 reported for duty today, bringing Italy's total military mobilization to the 000 Premier Mussolini promised would be under arms before Oct. 1. Great Britain Stands Pat LONDON, Sept. 23 (P)-Authoritative sources said today that Great Britain was not withdrawing any of the extensive naval and military reinforcements recently sent into the Mediterrenean.

This assertion came despite the view empressed in official quarters that the Anglo-Italian situation had been eased by the conversation held last Friday between Sir Eric Drummond, the British ambassador to Rome, and Fulvio Suvich, the Italian under- secretary of foreign affairs, The conference resulted in a statement that no aggressive intention" was meant by the massing of fighting fleets. Responsible sources said they saw a dual purpose in Sir Eric's call on Suvich. They said it would head off any diplomatic protest against the British action and would serve as an official warning Italy that Great Britain is prepared to defend its interests." Number 10 Downing street, marking its 200th anniversary AS a shrine of British political history, hummed with activity today as Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and his aides studied the Italo-Ethiopian crisis. The prime minister summoned members of his cabinet to the government headquarters for private couversations as a prelude to tomorrow's full dress meeting. Tomorrow's will be the first major cabinet session since Aug.

22, when Baldwin called an emergency meeting for the decision which led to the massing of the British fleet in the Mediterranean. That action was Great Britain's answer to the collapse of the tri-power conference at Paris and to Bepeace, Mussolini's defiant: "No compromise Italy marches ahead." Today, Baldwin and his colleagues faced another, tho slightly softer "no" from Rome this time rejection of proposals by the League of Nations committee of five peaceful solution to the ea conflict. for, One of the major points arising at tomorrow's cabinet session was expected generally to be the question of building up Britain's armaments. This was indicated in a weekend speech by Neville Chamberlain, chancelor of the exchequer, in which he said: "The time has now come when we must face fact and realities, when we must bring up our forces to the minimum required for our self respect, when we must recognize that in this work-8day world, disarmament must follow and not precede establishment of 8 sense of security." Political quarters attached great importance to Chamberlain's words as heralding a drastic reversal in the policy of disarmament which has left the British Isles virtually defenseless by sea thru dispatch of most of the depleted home fleet to the Mediterranean. Two Men Injured In Stabbing Frays Colored Residents Knifed in West Side Disputes.

Assailants Sought. Two colored men were stabbed here last night and required treatment at Fitkin hospital, Neptune. Local police were searching for the assailants today. Yesterday afternoon, Calvin Schenck, 31, of 11 Wesley place was cut with a knife on his back following an argument on Springwood avenue. Police said they were searching for James Dudley, also colored, 14 Applegate place in connection with the affair.

Schenck was treated for his injuries and released. Shortly before 10 o'clock last night William Williams, 42, of 1303 Washington avenue. this city, was in the abdomen and was admitted to the hospital. Chief of Police Horace L. Byram would divulge no information on the stabbing, other than the man was attacked on Borden avenue.

His condition was said to be good at the hospital today. WOMAN IS INJURED Mrs. Anna Merrin, 59, Brooklyn, was admitted to Fitkin hospital, Neptune, last night with a severe laceration of the scalp said to have been received in a motor car accident. Hospital attaches said that the woman was involved in an accident on the Farmingdale road. State police had no record of the accident.

The woman's condition was said to be good today. Wall Street Trend NEW YORK, Sept. 23 (P)-The stock market today made further, and generally successful, efforts to overcome its war fears. It was felt in most of the board- have rooms that last week's selling may been overdone. Some short covering, as well as buying for the long account, was in evidence.

The trading pace was relatively slow, however, and many of the customers still retained their comfortable seats on the sidelines. Recoveries in the London, Rome and Paris markets helped sentiment. Grains backed up under more profit taking and cotton was only about steady. Bonds improved. Italian obligations exhibited strength.

With the exception of guilders, which turned heavy, against the foreign dollar. gold Sterling currencies was were a little firm lower. Steel led the quiet rally in shares. The president's address to leaders of the third annual mobilization for human needs conference, in which he pointed to "definitely better economic skies this year," helped to cheer the financial sector. Despite the slightly more hopeful outlook in the European situation, most commission house commentators were inclined to counsel caution for the moment in the matter of new equities commitments.

The strike of some 400,000 soft coal miners tended to restrain any marked revival of optimism, but market observers expected that a settlement would soon be reached. Another decline in automobile production, as estimated by Cram's, did not excite the markets particularly. In view of the fact that many potential motor car purchasers are ing back waiting for the new designs, little surprise was shown over the announcement of the department of commerce that its preliminary adjusted index of sales of new passenger vehicles registered a decrease from July to August.

SLAIN IN HOLDUP AT GAS STATION (Continued from Page One) chest. There was no blood on his clothing. State police said the man had evidently been shot at close range as his clothes were powder burned. Altho there was a small bullet hole thru the clothing, it had not been noticed before. Police said they believed Lemke had been shot after an argument over gasoline.

It is likely that a car stopped at the all-night station and after Lemke filled it with gas, the car's occupants refused to pay. To support this theory, police pointed out that the station's cash register contained about $40, which had been untouched. There no evidence of a struggle at the station, they said. The body was removed to the funeral home of Coroner Mathew Maliczenski in South River where an autopsy will be performed today by Dr. William C.

Wilentz, county physician, brother of Attorney General David T. Wilentz. Lemke was shot thru a lung, it was pointed out, and the exertion of running from the station to Brown's home and back, caused his collapse and death before he could be questioned about the mysterious shooting.

When the negotiating committee recessed early today, McGrady said the day labor and yardage rates had been agreed upon and that the miners and operators were witihn a cent and a half of an agreement on tonnage rates. He did not say, however, which side had yielded. Coal operators and labor officials said it was impossible to say just what the increases asked by the union would mean to the individual miner because of the vast differences in local wage scales. The U.

M. W. at first demanded A 30-hour work week in the place of the present 35 hours, but subsequently agreed to continue the 35 hour schedule. McGrady did not say just when he expected the strike to be settled. He did remark: "This thing is going to be settled eventually." There was more than one clash between John L.

Lewis, president of the union, and Charles O'Neill, spokesman for the operators, as the parleys dragged on. When O'Neill suggested that enough miners stay on the job to keep the mines pumped out, Lewis said it would have been "ordinary courtesy" to make the request sooner. Finally, however, the request was granted. Once O'Neill criticized the government's hydro-electric power plans, spoke of federal taxes and said that what "bothers the coal operators is ability to pay" higher wages. Lewis shouted that producers "haven't any money to give us but they have money enough to contribute to the gigantic slush fund the Republicans are raising to defeat Franklin D.
