THEY WILL NEED ALL
THEY CAN GET


Toxic, Nov. 11.-"The rapid
growth of foreign nayies, particu-
larly that of the United States" is
given as the cause of the new activi-
ty in the Japanese navy department
in it's determination to keep abreast
of the times, and today it was an
nounced that the department officials
have completed the preliminary steps
for the fourth period of the naval
expansion scheme.
According to the plans made pub
lie, the department will begin to sup
plement the present naval strength
of Japan in 1919 by the construction
of additional warships. This is con-
sidered imperative by Japanese au-
thorities to maintain the balance
of naval strength in the Pacific. 1t
is predicted that the present tax rate
will not be changed on account of
the plans for additional ships.
The announcement today follows
closely upon the dispatches from the
United States to the effect that Pres
ident Taft is in favor of the ship
subsidy for expanding the Ameri-
can merchant marine on the Pacific
and Atlantic.

DIRTY LINEN
Mrs. Stevenson Wants Him to
Help Support Their Chill
dren, Which Seems
Very Fair.
[United rresa .I.eased wIre1

q
San Francisco, Nov. 11,,44-In a
statement published today Mrs. Lloyd
Osborne declared that her mother-in-
law, Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson,
widow of the noted author, is re-
sponsible for the trouble between her
and Osborne, which resulted in their
separation and considerable litigation
brought by, Mrs, Osborne in an effort
to compel him to contribute toward
the maintenance of his wife and two
children. The suit is now pending
in the courts. .7,
"A week ago Mrs. Stevenson came
to this city, but left soon afterwards,
when attorneys for het daughter-in-
law attempted to obtain her deposit
tion in regard to the financial condi
tion of her son. She went to Santa
Barba-a, her home, where, Mrs. Os-
borne asserts, her deposition will be
taken. ~
The friction between the two wos
men began shortly after Osborne's
marriage in 1896, according to the
statement. ~
Mrs. Stevenson took a dislike to
me" said Mrs. Osborne. THAT was
all. There was friction between Mrs.
Stevenson and myself. Why? For
the life of me cannot tell. re-
fused to have my home dominated by
anyone. And there was the rub.
Out of the midst of this pleasant
little life, my husband went to New
York. There was no agreerSent to
separate, but suppose we both felt
that he had panied his mother ana
given in to her pleadings to leave
me-
while he was in New York he
wrote me affectionate letters. In one
he referred to Mrs. stevenson's atti-
tude as a horrible inquisitlon' and
in another he wrote, I wonder at
the strange patience which upheld
you so long. But he did not return.
"The whole story, together with
the letters, will be produced in court
during the hearing of the suit, If It
is necessary. am asking for moth
ing more than is Just for myself and
my children. l intend to hold back
nothing. have borne this state of
affairs for seven years, and that is
long enough. My friends and others
have heard nothing but one side Of
the story.
Undoubtedly the artistic tempera-
ment of Mrs. Stevenson's dislike for
me are sufficient reasons for my hus-
band living in New York, but there
was another--a prosaic and mental
argument. Mrs. Stevenson has con-
troll OF the Stevenson estate during
her lifetime. II is her custom tosend
my husband substantial remittanees
and perhaps these remittances might
cease if-well, he is under the thumb
of his mother, and knowing her as
do. can hardly blame him. All /
want Of him now is proper provision
for the children.
