KAT0. PRESENTS
TOKYO DEMANDS

-
Washington, Nov. 2ss (by, the Asso-
ciated Press).-To safegs}ard properly
the interests of the Japanese en-
pirc, the ratio of 70 pertcent in ton
mage of capital ships is Necessary, Vice
Admiral Kanii Kato, PRECEDENT of the
Japanese naval college and chief naval
adviser to the Japanese delegation to
the Washington conserents, said to the
Associated Pres tonight in an inter-
view. y.
Vice Admiral Kato, wiz Is regarded
as the leading Japanese hnthority on
naval strategy, declared hat the main
issue for the conference $n limitation
of armament was the Production of
armament burdens. 4
Japan accepts this Tissue whole
heartedly," he continual, "and is
quite prepared to scrap kapital ships
under construction and old battleships
The naval ratio is of grave concern
to the security of the nations I hope
the United States will ascept the II
FER cent for, Japan, Which is the
minimum of strength reqsired for her
security" IL
The vice admiral remarked that the
agreement to limit armarfent must be
accomplished bu a thos n under
standing of all those participating.
"The main issue in the limitation of
armament, as have stated, believe,
is to relieve the burdens of the ma
tons. Japan has shown her hearty
accord to the idea and has agreed to
the wholesale scrapping, of capital
ships under constructions.as we'll as
old ships. This practically means
that the great purpose Eof the con-
ference has been attaineA, because il
indicates that in the futiire there will
come about huge reductfons in naval
expenditure. There is another point
to which I would like to call your at
tention. When you think about the
sacrifice made by the nations repre-
sented at this conference it seems
clear that the degree of sacrifice is
very great for Japan. I mean that
it will be felt more keenIylby us than
by the United States,,s because our in
dustrial and shipbuiiding power car
not be, compared to that Of America. ;
In conclusion Vice AGniiral Kate
Eaantinuad. 5hate the scarse,t = of. JepI J
TO replace her warships was infinitely
'es than that of the United States
Japan, he said, would be quite unable
with her present shipbuilding and in
dustrial strength and taking into ac-
count the paucity of her raw material
more especially steel, to engage sue
cesfully in competition as to the re-
placements of ships.
"For instance" he said, "do you
realize that the yearly output of stee1
in Japan is only 100000 tons, whereas
in the United States the yearly output
is almost 33,000,000 tons Under these
circumstances it is quite impossible
for Japan to think of entering into q
race with any strong industrial powe,
in case any difficulty should unhappy
arise in the future. 1t would almost
be better to abolish al capital ships
entirely. 1t would certainly be fairel
to Japan. We~Eare putting forth {
request that seems to me eminently
fair and reasonable, based as it |.
upon all Of the questions which ente,

SAYS DEAD MAN
STOLE THOUSANDS

Orlando, Fla, Nov. 2s.-The jury
hearing the case Of Lena NJ. r. Clark
and Baxter H. Patterson, charged
with the murder Of Fred A. Miltimore
local restauTanteur, today heard the
woman's story recited under the spell
of crystal.
Unique in the annals of iurispru-
dence the woman, an announced de-
votee of the ouija, had the crystal
steadily before her in order that she
could concentrate, as it was explained
She held Miltimore responsible for
the theft of $4,000 from the West
Palm Beach postoffice in 1918 which
reflected on her brother Paul. Her
attempt to cover this shortage culmi
mated in her taking $4,000 from Q
registered package later in July of
this year, the defendant said.
When postal inspectors waxed warm
IN their investigation she came to
Orlando. accompanied by Patterson, ir
search of Miltimore. AS to the kill
ing of the man she suffered lapse
Of memory. Her testimony exonerat-
ed Patterson as to having any part in
the actual Staying.
Miss Clarke, who occupied the stand
for more than two hours, told the
same story she had given in a signed
statement shortly after Miltimore's
body was found in her room at a local
htel. She mentioned Joseph B. Ell
we'll, murdered New York sportsman
IS having loaned her $4,000 in 1919
because of his friendship for her
brother. To repay him she was forced
70 start on a career of doctoring the
accounts. Her mention Of ElwelFs
name shortly after her arrest caused
furry In police circles because of
the fact that Elwell's assassins have
never been arrested. 1t was quickly
established, however, that the woman
had not been north of Atlanta since a
young girl.
Her testimony in regard to the
theft of $4,000 from the postoficr
disagrees with that of Postal Inspec
tor W.cB. Brandon, who told the jury
Saturday of his Investigation into the
postofffce irregularities. These irreg.
ElfIarities began before she assumed
charge as postmistress, he testified
but; there was never q shortage OF
$3S,000. The shortages, ne said, ex.
lusive of the $4,000, totalled ap-
proximately $4,000.
AS Miss Clarke neared the end of
her recital of events during her in
'erview with Miltimore in her room
she took a flight into matters of spir.
itualism. She remembered giving the
nan a drug she testified but from
then on her mind was blank unit
she met Patterson in the hotel corri
lor and together they went to the
rffice of Chief of Police Vestel.
States witnesses have testified thai
no traces of drug were found wher
an examinatin of Miltimore's viscera
was made.s
Miss Clarke ended her testimony
with the assertion that her "Aunt Sa
rah" taught her to read and write
before she was born.
