Japanese experts, how ever, insisted that this was not the proper basis of calculation, proposing Instead to disregard all ships now building by either pow er in determining relative naval strength. The plenary delegates of the two powers will continue the dis cussion from this point. Firm determination of the Am erican delegation to insist upon the 5-5-3 ratio and inclusion of ships building in any estimate of naval strength, was reiterated to night. Japan May Accept Since no call for an executive session of the conference dele gates or for further meetings of the, experts was Issued, It was as sumed an attempt to settle the point by informal interchanges be tween the American and Japanese delegates was in progress and might last several days. There was a strong feeling in American and British circles that Japan ultimately would accept the American method of calcula tion and the 5-5-3 ratio, not in sistlng on a 10-10-7 ratio. This was based on the conclusion of the British and American experts that the Japanese naval officers had been unable to show any sound claim to a 70 per cent status on the basis of figures they have presented. There was exception, however. that to any offer by the Japanese group to accept the 5-5-3 ratio. would be coupled a condition as to an agreement on naval bases in the Paclfls. That question has not yet been injected Into the con ference. ' Committee Without Progress The sub-committee or naval ex perts quit where they started, at the capital ship ratio, it is known that in two weeks of dis cussion they have not touched on any other point.' Such Items as the 10-year holiday, submarines, proportional allotments of ton nage in auxiliary craft were de ferred nntil the capital ship ratio problem was solved. The arms conference Btill stands tonight, so far as its major objective the naval agreement goes, at that point. In Japanese circles pleas to rupport the Japanese claim for a 70 per cent ratio were out for ward, ut they were based largely on questions or national security And not on claims as to present sirengm of the two navies. The only compilation of ficgures pre sentee to support the 70 per cent estimate was mat already author natively rejected by the Amerl can delegation, exclusion of all ships under construction from the calculation and Inclusion bv Jan.m m . . . -- i pre-areaanaughts over 20 years uia. Japanese Proposals Unsound While there Was on vntA fair An today In the sub-committee of the experts, British and American groups were In full accord that the Japanese proposal was not uuua ana tnat it constituted question of policy, not of fact. For the American delegation, the situation was described au thoritatively as an agreement or the experts as to points of differ ence. These Include minor ques tions relating to percentage of completion of ships under con struction, whether battleships over 20 years old can be included n estimates of strength of mod ern navies and similar points. All of these, in the American view, I are minor because they are ques tions of fact. . Policy Swn In Move The major point of difference, however, the Japanese proposal to disregard ships under construc tion in calculating naval strength is viewel as a matter of policy and a suggestion that is not open to debate so far as the United States is concerned. Neither the Ameri can government nor the American people will consent. It was stated, to scrap 15 capital ships averag ing 50 per ent complete and on which more tnan I3T30.000.0o0 has been paid out as the equiva lent of Japan's four new ships to be scrapped. On every other possible basis of calculation considered by the ex perts, Japan could show not even the 60 per cent ratio proposed for her in the American plan. Apli cation of the capital ship tonnage measurement to fix the ratio it self, is a wide concession to Japan, it is said. Japanese Position Illogical On the highest ratio Japan could be allowed by the figures presented that include ships under construction, her ratio was 49 per cent and to reach that she would be permitted to include two old pre-dreadnaughts more than 2o years old, while the United States would discard all ships over 20 years old. . Various tabulations were gone over by the experts and in every case Japan's ratio fell be low 60 per cent. To meet this con dition, the Japanese put forward their suggestion that only ships afloat be counted in estimating naval strength, since in that way alone, their estimate of 70 per cent could be attained. Both Am erican and British experts balked at this and a final recasting of the tabulations by the Japanese, pre sented today, added nothing to the situation. Kato Ts Sflcoit Admiral Baron Kato, active leader of the Japanese delegation. refused tonight to throw any light on what his group planned to do. In view of the authoritative state ment from the American delegates that the 70 per cent ratio sugges tion would not be entertained, it appeared likely compromise of fers from the Japanese were in order. Admiral Baron Kato declined tonight to discuss the situation arising from the disagreement of the naval experts on the ratio of limitation, but one of those high In authority in the Japanese del egation unequivocally declared Japan believed her 70 per cent ratio was vital because she be lieves anything less would place the empire at the mercy of other great naval powers. He added that he felt the Japanese were Justified in contending for a higher ratio believing that the spirit of the American propos als supported Japan in her de mand for a permanent navy large enough to safeguard her national interests. Political View Tak-n The Japanese view was repre sented in a political sense as fol ows: Japan for the moment has no guaranty, nor has the present conference found a guarantee that no difficulties will aiie in the future. If such a guarantee ex isted and the Japanese could re turn borne with the conviction that all would be harmonious in the future there would be no need of insisting on any higher naval ratio. Hut Japan, from a practical point of view, and from the standpoint of the compara tive strength of. navies, feels she must maintain a naval force larre enough to defend Japan adequate ly. Xo Prediction Ventured Japan would venture no pre dictions as to a possible solution of the deadlock among the ex perts. Japanese here in an un official capacity express the opin ion that Japan could not put her self in the eventual position of putting a break in the confer ence. They expressed anxiety, however, as to how a settlement was to be reached. fled that he knew of no case to ed that for the most part, the n- Burford, he la survived by his his own knowledge where injury gotiations will be carried on al- j brother, Frank Burford and oaa was purely internal or spontane-! rectly between the Chines and sister. Mrs. A. B. Gardener, all of SPEECHES TO BEGIN SOME TIME TODAY (Continued from page 1.) duced an employe of the resort who said she also saw Miss Rappe there. The charge against Mrs. Neighbors followed testimony by Mrs. Mary Poulin, hostess of the resort, that there was no re cord of Miss Rappe ever having stopped there. The prosecution announced also that it had the testimony of Mrs. Irene Morgan, a British war nurse and defense witness, under close examination to determine on its accuracy, but that no charge was contemplated. Girfs Health Good . Mrs. Josephine Hardebeck. a housekeeper for Miss Rappe, and Mrs. Minnie Buck, practical nurse and others, all fromlios Angeles. testified in prosecution rebuttal that they had known Miss Rappe for varying periods and that her health appeared good at all times. This testimony was offered to offset defense evidence that Miss Rappe's fatal injury was the cli max of a chronic condition of long standing and was not saused by external fonfe applied by Ar buckle, as alleged by the prosecu tion. A leading witness today was Dr. Rufus L. Rigdon, San Francisco physician, who was called by the prosecution to rebut defense evi dence that bladd,er injuries of the sort which resulted in the death of Miss Rappe could be caused by agencies other than ex ternal force. Dr. Rigdon testi- ous in character. 0nimivNion to Report Even, a bladder which became gradually over-distended woul-1 not rupture, lie said, as other organs would be fatally affected before such rupture occurred. A feature , tomorrow will be the introduction of a report bv a medical commission of three which was named to determine whether Miss Rappe's bladder was healthy at the time she is alleged to have been fatally in jured by Arbuckle. One of the experts was appointed by the court and the others by each sid. Arbuckle displayed a feeling of relief today. Me smiled widely at final adjournment and seemel to take the day's development as being in his favor. State riaims Strong Cas District Attorney Brady reiter ated past statements, however, that the state has proved a strone case against Arbuckle and that there is considerable likelihood of his being convicted. Brady announced that Leo Friedman, assistant district attor ney who has examined many of the witnesses, would make the first closing argument for the prosecution. The defense offered to submit the case without argu ment, but the prosecution declined the offer, and the defense there upon sa'd it would be satisfied with three hours for its final presentation. The prosecution named four hours, and this was the time agreed upon. Iepositions largely Expert Much of the testimony in the trial was that of medical experts, the issue appearing to rest as much upon this character of Evi dence as upon the actual happen ings at the party in which Ar buckle is alleged to have fatally injured Miss Rappe. tomor- Salem.

Great Britain. France and Italy are also parties to the secret treaties by which, during the war they promised to support Japan's claim to the Kiau Chau leases.
