Admiralty Chief Claims Program
Will Not Tend to Discourage
Disarmament.
DENIES ANY CHALLENGE
Churchill Says If Empire Delayed Con.
~struction Of Ships Another Year i
She Would Sink to Third
Naval Power.

misunderstanding the naval esti-
mate in the House Aof Commons, Lieut..
Col. L. G. Amery, parliamentary sec
rotary Of the admiralty, announced
that the four replacement ships the
government proposed to build would
be battle cruisers of the Hood type,
armed with 16-inch guns and designed
to obviate the need of larger dock
yards than at present exist.
He declined to say how many guns
they would carry, on the Ground that
it was not customary to sive such in
formation in advance.
Contending that there was no ele-
ment of challenge or proyocation in
this policy of replacing obsolete sains,
he said it was simply a policy circ m
scribed within the narrowest linn: S
consistent with the empires safety.
No Scraping of Ships Foreseen.
The object of the disarmament con
ference, he said, was to endeavor to
secure an agreement no further expan-
sion of the navies of the three greatest
naval powers, but as it was quite un-
likely that the other powers participat-
ing in the conference would offer to
scrap the ships already built or under
construction, it was obvious that the
building of these four ships, or even
twice their number, could not in any
way affect the problem before the con-
ference.
Winston Spencer Churchill, secre-
tary for the colonies, replying in the
debate for the government, made re-
ference to the big building programs
in both the United States and Japan.
He contended that there could be no
conceivable cause for a quarrel with
either of these countries.
Still, the fact remained that if Eng
land delayed another year the con-
.struction Of necessary vital units she
would have to face a position Of de-
finite and perhaps final inferiority, he
said. She would sink to third naval
power, and having sunk there, might
eve be able to o
High homes are based on the Wash
LnSaSE conference ror the penenI o
AuoAhiAu, puo uuAeSS we Cdu assume
that the ships now building in Amer
lea and japan will be scrapped, then
no disarmament proposal which might
be agreed upon at Washington would
be relevant to the decision this House
must take with respect to the con.
struction of these four ships"
Lady Astor declared that the United
States was absolutely in earnest in
saying it wanted a disarmament con-
ference, but, simultaneously with
Great Britain, that country had the
right to decide that it must go to the
conference as a first class, and not a
third class, naval power.

CARUs0 DIES IN ITALY
Famous Tenor's Death Caused
BY Abscess on Lung.
Singer Stricken in New York Last
Winter, Never Recovered
Completely.

Naples-Enrico Caruso, the worlds
greatest tenor, died here at 4 a. m,
Tuesday.
His golden voice was stilled forever
when he failed to rally from a relapse
following an operation for an abscess.
Caruso's death was expected for
several hours before the end came.
He never had recovered completely
from the effects of an operation for
pleursity which he underwent in New
York last winter.
AS result of this operation, physi-
clans stated, he suffered from a dia-
phragmic abscess.
Another operation was performed in
an effort to remove the accumulated
pus, but it left Caruso badly weakened
and he rapidly sank.
On Saturday he felt pains in his alb
domen. Those were the first warn
ings that the final illness was at hand.
He called a physician who advised
him to go to Naples and consult spe-
cialists.
Arriving in Naples on Sunday night,
Caruso called Professors Isorgi, Caro-
%zanZasodo and Noscati.
After a long consultation these spe-
c~ialists diagnosed his case as acute
p%eritonitis with a tendency to spread.
They decided to operate.
Caruso, whose fortitude when suf-
fering great pain was considered re-
markable, continued to keep UP his
good spirits, however. He sank stead
lily. His agony increased. His
strength waned.
Injections of camphor were requir.
ed every two hours to stimulate his
fiuttering heart.
His breathing was difficult and be.
came increasingly labored.
His wife, who also maintained her
courage, remained at the bedside for
hours.
She saw her husband steadily draw
ing nearer to the gates of death, but
remembering the successful fight he
made against what were considered
overwhelming odds during his previ-
III illness in New York, she maintain.
ed her composure and confidence that
he again would weather the storm.

think the club records compare with
that? Guess before you read on.
Club members in the pig-feeding
club (producing pork made their pigs
gain 1.19 pounds, while those raising
gifts to breed put 1.12 pounds per day
on their pigs. That was a good dem
onstration that good pigs, properly
fed and cared for, will do much bet
ter than common stock with ordinary
care. 1t pays, too, for the better re-
suits can be obtained on the same
amount Of feed.
Robert Webster Of the Huntersville
Pig-Feeding club, Lycoming county, is
the state pig-club champion as far as
gain per day is concerned. Robert
fed a purebred Poland China pig,
which gained 2.43 pounds per day.
That pig surely did make a hog out
Of himself, didn't he?

Effort at EUicttOn Brings
Whipping Charge.

DETROIT, June 21.-Mr and Mrs John
Barsby lived in a fashionable apartment
house, where the rules forbade music of
any kind. TRe Barsbys observed this
regulation implicitly, except for a ffe,
xylophone, bass vial and a phono-
graph.
Mrs. Barsby holds that such a trivial
lapse is no justification for a horsewhip-
ping. Accordingly she hailed Mrs. Lille
White into court on an assault and bat
terry charge
Mrs. White /, is manager of the non
musical apartment house. She is alleged
to have done the horsewhipping, employ
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Barsty as her targets
Mrs. Barsby told the judge she and her
husband were ordered to move because of
the fife, xylophone, bass viol and phono-
graph. When they suggested a refund on
their rent Mrs. White came to bat with
her hOrsewhip, it was charged.
Mrs. White said that it was only a
small dog whip and that she had done
nothing more violent than flourish it. The
barrage of the musical battery disturbed
the rest of her tenants, she said, and
because of that she decided to evict the
Barsbys. Mrs. White was found guilty.
Sentence was suspended.

REVENGE LEADS
TO CITY PRISON
Alleged BoOtlegger Accused
of 'JObbing' Woman.

White mule whisky and a marked one
dollar bill are features of the evidence
in a complicated case that resulted in
the arrest today of John Hoffman, 500
West New York street, on charges Of
operating a blind tiger.
Hoffmans arrest revealed an interest
ing story that dates back to the day
when he is said to have struck Katie
Murphy, 147 Bright street, who caused
his arrest on a charge Of assault and
battery. That case was continued in city
court today until June %. Hoffman's
arrest today resulted from his efforts to
cause the detention of Katie Murphy on
a charge of operating blind tiger.
Patrolman Harry H1lIman made the ar
rests in both cases and according to the
officer, Hoffman offered to prove that
Katie was selling while mule whisky.
James Ralston, 62S West Washington
street, friend of Hoffman's. was selected
to purchase the whisky with a marked
one dollar bill. He went to the Murphy
woman's home. Hillman watched him
enter and after he left the house stopped
him, searched him and found a half Of a
pint of white mule in his pocket. The
policeman then entered the Murphy home.
He accused Mrs. Murphy of having
sold Ralston the liquor She denied it.
Hillman then order her to show him what
money she had and she did so. Among
the bills she had was the marked one
dollar bill. She declared that Ralston
had come into her home and had pleaded
with her not to appear against Hoffman
in her assault and battery case. When
she refused Ralston is said TO have laid
one dollar bill on table and remarked,
TO
kids, think it over and he handed the
money to a small child and started to
leave.
Mrs. Murphy attempted to return IT,
but Ralston ran out the back door he
said. Ralston is said to have admitted
he was given the liquor and the marked
bin by Hoffman and that he did not
purchase it from the Murphy woman.
Hofman's arrest on blind tiger
charge followed and a warrant for Raj
ston's arrest has been filed.
