LONG DEAD AFTER A
VALIANT FIGHT LIVE
DEATH CAME 4:10 A M
Huey Long Called For Family Before Go
ing Into Coma Followed Closely Heath
(Bv The Associated Press')
BATON ROUGE, Sept. 10, — EOS—Senator Huey P.
Long died at 4:10 A. M. Central Standard Time today.
BATON ROUGE, Sept. 10 —Copyright—Senator Long,
of Louisiana, 42 years old, known the world over as the
dictator of his native state, became the victim of an assass
in’s bullet at 4:10 A. M. today.
He died of a wound inflicted by Dr. Weiss. Physicians
battled for thirty-one hours to save the political chieftain’s
life, after performing one operation and five blood transfu
sions. They administered oxygen during his final minutes,
but to no avail.
His widow, who married him twenty-two years ago af
ter her alibi testimony saved Huey Long from charges in
a shooting scrape, was led dry-eyed from the Lady of the
Lake Hospital. She had been at the hospital, on constant
vigil since Sunday night.
Death Long Announced Within 4 Minutes
BATON ROUGE, Sept. 10, —The death of Senator
Huey P. Long was announced by Abe Shushan, President
of the New Orleans Levee Board. Long was dead four min
utes before physicians announced it from his room in the
hospital. Mrs. Long and her three children were lead from
the hospital. She was not crying but did show a severe strain.
“Gunshot Wound in Stomach” Cause Deatli
BATON ROUGE, Sept. 10 —“A gunshot wound in the
abdomen” was officially given as the cause of death, by Dr.
E. L. Sanderson who said there were not necessarily “com
plications”.
Dr. G. S. Long, the senator’s brother, was quoted as saying
that the bullet which entered the right side, puncturing the
colon in two places, also penetrated the kidney. An investiga
tion will no doubt be called into the shooting.
Long’s lieutenants were stunned momentarily and grief
stricken by his death, but are believed ready to attempt to
carry on the powerful regime, which he had established.
On the other hand, Long’s political opponents expect-1
cd to make a strong fight against this effort to try to gain
control for themselves.
Long was delirious at midnight and shortly afterward
lost consciousness. His secretary said that he exclaimed:
“Where are my children?” Rose Russell and Palmer
rushed to his side but were too late for the senator to recog
nize them.
His last wisnes were expressed dui nis secretary would
not divulge them because, he said, they concerned the fam
ily. Mrs. Jack Ducournau a niece said that Huey Long sent
for his wife who had left the room for a minutes, and as she
talked in, Long exclaimed: “Here comes my sweetheart;
ivhere are all my children; I love all of you.”
Governor E. K. Allen was tearful as he emerged from
;he death chamber. He said that the senator wondered:
“What will happen to my poor university boys.” Long
lad made himself a particular patron of the Louisiana foot-!
jail team.
His secretary, Earl Christenberry said that the body
vould lie in state in the five million dollars capitol build
ng erected when Long was Governor of Louisiana, and in,
vhich he was shot. Other arrangements awaited a confer-1
■nee with Governor Allen.

ROME, Sept. 9, — Premier Benito ■
Mussolini told thirty thousand fas
cist youths Sunday “We will march
straight on”, as he appeared before
a vast crowd for the second time in

bled from all parts of the world,
that Italy wants peace, provided it
is accomplished with justice.

brought prolonged cheers. Italy, in

military preparations in East Afri

little stock in present peace mov

(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED. Sept. 10, —Rapid naval movements in the
Mediterranean marked the Italo-Ethiopian situation today.
Britain is carrying out plans to maintain its life line to the
Orient and has rushed two aircraft carriers to Alexandria,
besides hurrying its strategic massing of warships in the
vicinity of the entrance to the Suez Canal. Italian warships
are also maneuvering in the Mediterranean between Sicily
and Africa.
Mussolini’s mobilization plans involve two million Fas
cist party members, six hundred thousand youths from 18
to 21 years of age, and four million boys.
A patient search for a solution to the problem is being
continued even though Mussolini has not given assurances
that hostilities would not be begun until the League’s spec
ial committee is finished with the Ethiopian inquiry.
Premier Laval of France asked Stanley Baldwin of
England how far Great Britain was prepared to go if Italy
breaks with the League and if the terms of the covenant
are fully applied.
Italy’s renewal of friendship with Germany it was be
lieved might result in a German support of Italy’s expan
sionist plans, in return for Italian sympathy with Ger
many’s colonial ambitions.
Emperor Selassie dispatched more troops for the bor
ders and called to Addis Ababa all foreigners, for safety. He
refused the Italian legation permission to bring colonial It
alian troops into Ethiopia, late today.
