between incl. and japanese eX-
perts as to the proper place of Japan
in the limitation ratio proposal.
1t has been stated that the actual
decision of the conference on the fleet
ratio question, which is the basis OF
the whole American proposal, probably
would be reached through informal dis
cusSiOns between the individual dele
gates. Secretary Hughes is expected
to announce that the naval experts had
completed their work SO far as the %
5-3 ratio was concerned, and possibly
to make public some of the figures in
volved as TO existing naval strength of
Japan and the United States.
Claims Made by Japs.
The additional figures on the ratio
question presented by the Japanese ex-
perts merely went over again the ar
guments previously advanced to sup
port the claim for a japanese ratio of
40 per cent. and still cOntended that
the 10 American ships in process of
construction and the money expended
upon them should not be included in
the calculation of the relative naval
strength OF the two powers. This
viewpoint has been authoritatively re-
jected by the American delegation.
In the course of the discussion
among the experts, it was learned
disposition to accept retention by
Japan of the battleship Mutsu if that
would insure acceptance by Japan of
the 1913 ratio" has been shown by
the American experts. Coupled with
the suggestion from the Japanese that
they retain the Mutsu, however, al
ways has been the condition that the
United States should scrap three
ships Of equal power which are prac-
tically as far advanced as the Mutsu
toward completion.
, The japanese have insisted, it is
understood, that the Mutsu be rated
as a completed ship. There is no def
mite information available in Wash
ingtOn, however, that the ship is even
today actually in commission as the
| japanese experts would have her re-
! garded.

The good offices of Secretary Hughes
and Arthur Balfour of the British dele
gates TO bring the representatives of

George E. Brennan, Leader OF the Illinois
Democracy, Was Not the Man who
Advised Suppression

a malign purpose to injure Mr.. Bren-
nan with the friends of Mr.. Sullivan
throughout your state | wish to say
to you frankly that any inference that
Mr.. Brennan either directly or indi-
rectly was concerned in the with
holding of President Wilson's letter
of Endorsement of Mr.. Sullivan's can
didacy is without foundation and does
Mr.. Brennan, who was a devoted
friend of Mr. Sullivan and is
warm friend of mine, a grave injus-
tice. 1t is only fair to Mr.. Brennan
to say that at this critical stage of
politics in Illinois he had no COM
munication with the white house or
with me personally, either directly or
indirectly, and played no part what
ever in the withholding of the letter
| in question. In fact, he was without
knowledge of the circumstances sur
| rounding the incident of the letter
| until very recently.
q regret sincerely that any one
would claim even in an anonymous
way that Mr.. Brennan played any

the cause of justice if you would give

the fact that the girl was going back

Chicago Democrats are having a

Another move to halt scalpers' con-
troll of desirable theater seats was
started in the city council when the
finance committee was ordered to pre-
pare an ordinance levying per cent
on the gross receipts of theaters and
those who sell tickets.
Alderman Joseph o. Kostner, who
introduced the measure, said scalpers
had obtained a monopoly on seat sales
and that the city should, if for no
other reason, collect a share of the
profits.
TaXicab companies and restaurants
! assessing convert charge also were
hit by the council. Alderman Kostner
| submitted a second resolution direct

an ordinance levying so per cent on
| gross receipts received by large hotels,
| theaters, clubs and restaurants who
obtain commissions from cab com
panies in return for giving them ex-

Wealthy Owner Among Those
Charged With Scuttling Craft

NORFOLK. Va. Dec. 2.--Indict-
ments against four men. one Of whom
is wealthy New York ship owner. for
conspiracy to scuttle an American
vessel at sea and defraud the Govern
ment and underwriters of approx
mately $40, 900, were returned today In
the United States district court here.
The men indicted were released on
SIC. 900 bail each for their appearance
here for trial February 8. They are
j. s. Vasconsellos, said to be the con-
trolling factor in the Peninsudar Ex-
port Company; James G. Cook, master
of the schooner Charles G.. Endicott;
Russell l.. Beatty. the schooner's en-
gineer, and Joe Vasconsellos, care
taker aboard the vessel when she lay
at Newport News last January.
Arrest of the men is the result Of
inquiries into the loss of the Endicott.
which have been carried on for nearly
year by Department of Justice
agents working under the direction Of
the district attorneys office at Nor
folk and operatives employed by Brit
ish and American marine insurance
companies.
The vessel left this port last January
for Manzanillo, Cuba, with a cargo Of
coal. On the night of February 10.
when about sixty miles off Cape Maysi,
Cuba, she sank, following an explosion
which opened her seams. Master and
crew reached shore in safety, and re-
ported that the cause of tho destruc-
ton of the vessel was striking q mine,
presumably one which had floated
down to the tropics from the North
sea.
Suspicion that all was not open and
above board with the reports to the
effect that she ship had struck a mine
came from the fact that she was in.

According to reports cars have been
stolen right and left at Beloit. Part of
them have come to Baraboo and part
have gone elsewhere. Today a, Ford
car was returned which had been
sold several times. It is stated that
J. F. Hunter of Reedsburg was ar
rested at Beloit and confessed to
taking several machines. Oae was
sold to Louis Feinberg at Baraboo, he
in turn sold to the Berkeley garage and
they to E. J. Curry. AS far as possible
the one who purchased the car looks
to the one who sold but not all will
likely get their money back unless
responsibility can be placed. Not
likely that Hunter will stand good
for all the cars taken.
Another car was purchased by
Ernest Wendt at Baraboo. Still other
cars are scattered about.

The owner of the stolen car sold
some days ago to Ernest Wendt was
taken back to Beloit on Thursday. The
owner said while in Baraboo his wife
consulted clairvoyant in Rockford
as soon as the machine was missing
and the one in the mesmic state said
the car came north and that it would
be located in September. Then the
husband went to a clairvoyant in an
other city and the woman told niEl
also the car came north but was not
able to state to what place the ma
chine came. The man says it was
wonderful that both women were able
to state the car came north and was
well satisfied with what he had re-
ceived for his money. He was also
pleased to find his car and have the
pleasure of driving it home.
He said the machine was stolen
when his son and a friend went to an
entertainment When they left the
machine some fellows were sitting
in another car. Soon they met two OF
them at refreshment stand and it
is thought the four were in partner.
