Italian Battle Planes Carry Out Raid.

ADDIS ABABA, Apr. i'i.——swoop- ing low in a lightning raid, two Italian battle planes fired machine gun bullets on Emperor Hallo Selas- sie’: palace late today in what some observers said was an attempt to kill or injure members of the Eth- iopian Royal Family. I

The shots wounded 12. number of persons and threw the city into panic, but failed to hit any mem- bers of the reigning house. Many residents of the city have taken to the hills. The big craft circled over the city at a. high altitude and then droned into the distance as rapidly as they had come.

Many of the bullets were found imbedded in the earth and walls of the houses for some distance beyond the ghebi (palace).

The terror which gripped the Capital earlier in the day when two bombers suddenly appeared an-' showered the city with green, whit’ and red flreworks—the tricolor col- ors—had become acute tonight and a state of alarm was ordered.

SIXMAGDALEN FISHERMEN IJRUWNEIJ

Prince Edward Island- er Named Ding'well' Believed A in o n g Victims.

(0 P- By Guardian’: Special Wire)

GRINDSTONE, Magdalen Islandb, April i7—Hurled into a raging see that capsized their motorboat, six Magdalen Island fishermen were drowned today near the mouth of Grand Entry Harbor.

Only one man. Henry Clarke. lived to tell the story of a terrifying eight-mile trip from Old I-ferry Head. Threatened with disaster a dozen times on the rock—bound coast, they were just within sight of a haven of safety when a giant camber turned the little craft over nnd spilled the helpless fishermen into the water.

only meagre reports of the tra- gedy were reported here as boat- ment from Grand Entry began a search for the bodies. Clark escaped with his life by clinging to the ov- erturned craft until help arrived.

Three of the men who perished in the worst tragedy the Magdalen has known in years were members of one family—Ray Dunn and his two some

The others ‘drowned were Foster Clark, Baxter Turnbuil and a Prince Edward Islander named Dingwell.

Exhausted after holding on to the derelict in icy water for hours. Clarke was almost unconscious when fishermen from Grand Entry reached the scene. A few minutes more and he would have gone.

He collapsed when the rescuers hauled him into their boat but was recovering at Grand Entry tonight and belief was expressed that he would live.

Meanwhile the search for bodies went on while grief-stricken fisher- folk waited along the shore.

All the drowned men except Or- rin Dingwell were Magdalen Is- landers. Dingwell had arrived is week ago from Fortune Bay. P. E. 1., to spend the summer fishing on this coast. He was 22 years old and single.

Foster Clark. 28. is survived bv a wife and three children. aged three and five. Tlirnbull was unmarried.

It was considered possible that Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King would be in a position after tomorrow's meeting to an- nounce the personnel of the Na.- tional Employment Commission.

Extra efforts were made before the Easter adioumment to obtain royal assent to the bill authorizing the commission and it was passed af- ter some demur in the senate on the neceuity of hasty action there. It was believed the government wished the authority so that the commission could be set up during the recess, but there has been no announcement. »

only a few ministers were in Ot- tawa today. Finance Minister Dun- ning was one of those to return from a week's rest and others are expected to arrive tomorrow. Mi’. Mackenzie King remained quietly at home throughou the holiday season. .

“Plans have been developed for the pressing forward of the work. In the mearltme the Ontario crew is standing by."

Additional Equipment

Carrying 300 pounds of emer- gency equipment, I-Iennigan and his companions, Sinclair MncMil.- an, George Mitchell and Elmer Moran. came to Moose River by car today after rl train journey from Northern Ontario to Morro- ton and an airplane dr.-sh to Hall-

fax.

Their arrival cheered Mrs. Rob-

ertson and Mrs. Magili, who had

been on the ground for three rinys

watching blasting and drilling op- erations toward their husbands in the mysterious mine.

J. P. Messervy, Nova scotia's chief inspector of mines, was

handicapped in directing the res-

cue work by the lack of a map of

the workings, and even miners who had taken gold out 30 years before did not know all the honey-

combed passages below.

engineers hoped to open a narrow

tunnel of communication wasdown 60 feet shortly ‘before midnight but it had about 30 feet to go and

there was no chance of dropping

from the surface to the old Meagher shaft that might lead to the lei-foot level but there was no assurance that it would be suc-

oessful.
