LANDRU DEFENSE WILL
 BE ABSENCE OF PROOF

Nersaills, Nov. 29.-CBy The A. P.)- Tho backbone of the defense in the ca SC of Heni Landru, will be the absolute absence of proof that any of ttc eleven persons the defendant is alleged to have murdered are dead and also the failure of the police 'to find anything resembling the remains of a human body when they first searched the villa at Gambais occupied by Landru on April 1S, 1919, and that the complete exhibit of bones and teeth produced by the prosecution were not discovered until the seco-d search of the premises on April 2s,.
 This statement was made today by Nj. Moro-Giafferi, chief counsel fer the defendant, as he rose to address the 1u- TOTS after Nj. Godefrey had finished his argument for the prosecution. Godetrey had ended his address with an assu-- ance to the jury that they need not fear a judicial error.
 We must set up .he gufIlotine, when 1t Is necessary, and 1t 1s death that l ask for the assassin of Gamhais," the prosecutor drama tically concluded. Landru. stolid and unmoved, listened to the plea of his defender as he previously has done under the attack of the prose- cutor-the coolest person in the court room.

|StormLeaves Many
 Cities in Darkness
In Forty Massachusetts Cities Street Cars Schedules Were Reduced or Suspended.

Boston. Nov 29.-Werd from the weather bureau that the storm which held\ central New England in an icy grip for four days was about over brought hope tonight to many cities and towns that they would be able soon to have light. power and normal telephone and telegraph services which have been in- terrupted for two days All of the plac- es affected, forty of them in the vicini- ty of this city, were again in darkness tonight, however, and with street car schedules reduced os suspended
 The public service corporation repair crews were able to make but little head way toward bringing conditions back to normal while the storm continued today Emergency repairs were made by light ing companies so that current could be supplied to hospitals and other institu- tions but the danger to the public from dangling wires was considered too great to warrant turning on the power gener- ally
 Telephone and telegraph services con- tinued demoralized. Officials of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Com. pany said trouble reports had come ir during the day much faster than they could be cleared. The toll lines were es pecially hard hit, trees weighted dowr by a coating of ice having continued tC fall on wires and high tides flooded con. duits carrying cables to points along thu coast.
 Daily newspapers In several of tn, smaller cities were obliged to suspend publication because of lack of power tt operate presses. Others carried little O no telegraphic news.
 The storm tied ur shipping at thi port and with few arrivals at the fisl pier prices scared to the highest level in months.
 Some idea of the destruction wrough | by the storm was given in figures mad public by telephone officials tonigh | More than 5000 poles, they said ha | fallen. and many thousands of miles C wire were broken and tangled.
 More than 2.o00 men were at work tc ! day trying to provide temporary servic by laying wires on the ground or attacf l ing them to trees and fences.

 The American determination to stand solidly behind the "5-5-3" naval ratio was reiterated with even greater emphasi, to- day as a reflex from the statement O! Vice Admiral kato that Japan must have larger proporticnate strength. if her nsA- iional needs are to be adequately served,
 The American position is that if na- tional needs are to be the basis of the discussions, any change in the ratio probably wculd be adverse to Japan. rzth- CT than in her favor. The yardstick of existing strength. which the American plan has sought to apply is declared by the American delegates to show beyond doubt that the "5-5-5'' formula is .Ifb. eral" as it applies to the Japanese navy. To what extent the Japanese tnsistenc. might be carried was uncertain tonight, but Prince Tokugawa of the Japanese delegates softened the expressions ,of Vice Admiral Eato by pointing out thai in asking for a -l0-lo-7" ratio the ad. miral had ben speaking merely his own personad convictions.
 Because of uncertainty over the Ja,,aness position meeting of the lnternatiouz, subcommittee of naval experts was ad- journed without action today. and another meeting was called for tomorrow. Mean time there were suggestions that a plen-
