Page Ten The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon apanese Not Trying To Compete With American Navy, Admiral KatoSays Tokio, Mar. 2b. Assertions that the Japanese naval program being followed for the pur pose of competing with the Unit- States navy, were denounced "preposterous and absurd" by rice Admiral Tomodaburo Kato, Japanese minister of marine, in in interview with the .Associated tea here today. He declared lapan was not trying to compete rith the American navy and that the Japanese naval program had leen formulated so that the in land empire could be defended jtgainst any emergencies arising In tlie Kar hiast alone. Plan Long Standing "Let me say in beginning." the lUnister explained, ' that our Idea in considering the existence f the two squadrons the irredu cible minimum necessary tor nav al defense originated after the jhino-.Iapanese war and before the Ttusso-.Japanese conflict. In the war with Russia we had two squadrons each with Ax capital ships and later posi-.;sc 1 squad rons having eight Iiat'.lesbliH and six cruisers.

Harold E. Anthony and George K. Cherrle, under the ausplcies of the American Huseum of Natural His tory, led the expedition which recently returned from South America. The natives studied most carefully were the Jibaros. Everything not I .nuaro is unriBuanos to uie natives, l liey look down on white men j because the white man has only one wife. As each Wants at least j four or five wives, and there are not enough women to go around, the Indians fight to get their helpmate. When an enemy is killed his head is cut off as a trophy of war. The bones are taken out of the head and the skin is dried slowly and carefully to about the sine of a I doll's head. Then the trophy is dyed black and painted red in spots. A war dance is held, with the most elaborate ceremonials, and the I trophy thereafter Is worn by the winner. The photo on the left shows dried human heads worn by the Jibaros the way the North American i Indians wore sculps. The photo on the right shows a member of the Jibaro tribe with un ancient muzzle-loading musket, white in tfie inset is a belle of the tribe. international situation and the present status of the naval pow ers, I do not believe our relative ly inferior navy should lead the way in reducing, nor that we should curtail our established mischief plan.

Scheme Puts Promoter, 62, In Jail Here After endeavoring to launch a move for an J80.000 apartment house to be built on Court street, R. D. McFarland, C2, a promoter, was yesterday arrested by Con stable Walter DeLons and is at present in the county jail here, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. Scheme Cooperative One McFarland came to Sa'em sT eral days ago and succeeded in in teresting several local men in his plan. He proposed to erect a large apartment house of 16 suites which was to be operated on a cooperative basis. The tenants were to purchase the'r cpart ments on a basis of 10 per cent cash and were to pay the bal ance in 10 years when they would come into complete possession oi their apartments. It is a plan said to be well known in tha east an:' is thoroughly sound vh?n prop erly finance 1. McFarland claimed ne had $-S. 000 available in the fo-ii of a first mortgag ) and th the te maining 182 010 was t be ob tained by issuing preferred stock which was to he got by selling J 10,000 worth to wo incorpo rators in addition to himself. Mr. McFarland was to be president. The remaining $22,000 of the pre ferred stock was to be carried by the contractor who would erect the building. Warnings Received McFarland obtained from T. B Kay a .10 day option on a lot west of and adjacent to the Court apart inputs for SftOOO. Nothinsr was I paid on this, however. Not satisfied with the promot ers representations, local men wired to points in Washington where McFarland said he had operated, and received answering telegrams warning them against the promoter.

Auction Sale I ails. An effort was made last Fridav to dispose of some prunes in New York by auction. Referring to the auction, t lie New York Journal of Commerce, said : "Indications pointed to the transfer of the dried fruit market from the private sale field to the auction room yesterday, as four block.s of prunes, containing 2450 boxes, were scheduled for sale. "Hut slim attendance, indiffer ent interest and lack of buying support resulted in the disposal of only 95 boxes out of the total of ferings. These were the samples on display in the auction sales room. Oregons Brine 9V. The first lot was of GOO boxes of 80-90 California prunes tot which the auctioneer asked a bid of G4 cents a pound, and the sample of 25 boxes was knocked down at 4 cents. "A similar line of 850 boxes but of 70-80 sizes was not sold except for the samples at 5 cents. "Oregon prunes in 40-50 sizes and in GOO boxes were not taken except for 25 boxes at 9 cenix. Out of 400 boxes of Silver prunes, 25 boxes sold at 7 '4 cents." Commenting on the above, Mr. Paulus says that at least 4 cents must be deducted from the above prices to take care of freight, sell ing costs, cash' discounts, packing insurance, storage and cartage.
