NEW PLAN EXPECTED

TURE OF ALLIANCE.
By United Preet
TOKIO, June 25 Yesterday's edl
lion of the Jamn Advertiser, the
leading American newspaper publi
cation In the Orient, was suppressed
by the government today, presumab
ly because of discussion over nego
tlatlons in the- Anglo-Japanese al
liance. Reasons for the suppression were
not given out by the government,
but It has repeatedly cautioned pub
lications against mentioning the ne
gotiations, which are now being con
sidered in London by the premiers
of the British empire and the Jap
anese embassy. s
It was stated today in Tokio on
good authority that the Japanese
government may take the initiative
and propose at once a British-American-Japanese
alliance to balance the
power of armaments in the Pacific
ocean.
It is believed that such proposals
will also include a plan for the in
ternaticmaliiatlon of the island of
Yap, the German cable station which
Japan now claims on the mandate
of the league of nations, and which
the United States has refused to
recognize.

ROUND.
Displaying a super-abundance of

team last night mopped up the dlu

was culled at the end of tha seventh
Inning on account of darkness.
Stllf and sore In every joint from

Altogether, about 18 business men
turned out for each team. AIL were
given a chance to play a few in

Mayor 1'. J. Stadelman, captain of
the east aiders, held down the third
sack for his team during the first
three innings, making several credit
able plays. Ho became discouraged In
the third inning however, when after
making a hit land getting on third
base, he slipped and fell while at

rocks on Amaton field drew blood

STING TAKEN FROM
ADMIRAL CONFERS WITH PRESI-
DENT HARDING AFTER MEET
ING WITH DENBY.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Juno 25. Presi
dent Harding's conference with Ad
miral Sims, Immediately after that of
ficer had been publicly reprimanded
by Secretary of tho Navy Denby for
his London "jackass" speech, is be
lieved to have taken some sling from
the reprimand.
There has been no official author
ization of tho speech at l-ondou but
the admiral's demeanor as he emerged
from the Willie House lent the im
pression that tho conference had hern
ordlal despite the olflcial naval re
buke.
In 1911, also because of a speech
made in London.
An order from Denby, termed Frida
ifternoon and delivered to the admlr
al at his bote! by the secretary's aide,
concluded with this paragraph:
"Tho department expresses Us
Htrong disapproval of your conduct in
having again delivered a highly Im
proper speech In a foreign count rv
and you are hereby publicly repil
manded." Denby stated later the reprimand
would not alter Sims' status in th
navy and that he would continue as
president of the naval war college .it
Newport.
Tho Issue of the reprimand followed
receipt from Sims of a wrlltun stult
uent setting forth an inaccuracy in
publlHhc-d accounts of the speech. Sims
admitted, however, tho accuracy of his
reference to the "jackass voter.
This portion of the speech was iiu
ed by Denby In tho reprimand and It
wan made clear that this was the ut
