Miss Burke possesses a world Of
personality which she uses to good
advantage in putting over her

It was a difficult story to do
simply and sincerely, yet the Gold

most competent small casts that

Little Big Man from Japan is Learning

ngton.-Although he does not
speak English, Admiral Baron Kato,
head of the Japanese conference dele
cation, generally is able to understand
some of the questions fired at him by
reporters at Japanese press .conferen-
ces. Sitting at the head of long table
like little schoolmaster, the baron,
through an interpreter first announces
that he has no formal statement but
that the gentlemen of the press may
fire away when ready.
Somebody is always ready to "dig
in" as the baron expresses it. While
waiting the other day for Baron Hani-
hara to join him, reporter asked if
he was still of the same opinion as to
scrapping the Mitsu. A laugh from
the baron showed he got the point
quickly but the laugh was all the re-
ply he gave.
When the questions became hypo-
thetical or too thin. the baron shrugs
his shoulders and, though without dis
courtesy to his audience, shoves back
his chair and leaves. By common
agreement the delegation spokesman
are not quoted. But when Prince Tok-
ugawa met the reporters for the first
time he was asked if he might be ques-
toned. "Sure," he replied, "use any,
thing I say"
Invariably the spokesman for all del
egations show extreme liberation when
the questions are clearly of a character
which they cannot discuss. Every re-
porter seems to have his own hobby or
the hobby of his home office and he
keeps hitting away at it every day.
But a smile and a shrug of the Shout
ders is about all he gets-and about
all he expects.

nection with the death of Miss Vir-

that the bladder rupture which caused

prosecution charges the injury was
caused by external force applied by
Arbuckle at party in the hotel St.
Francis here Labor Day.
Miss Minnie Buck, professional
nurse of Los Angeles said she was a
companion to Miss Rape for a time
and she did not appear unwell. For
the fourth time during the trial Mrs.

Milwaukee - Detective Edward

cOrding to testimony of Joseph

er prohibition agent.

loaded.

David S. Rose, representing Her

Custer also said he had a code
arranged with Harry Feuer. alleg-
ed master mind" of the whiskey
ring, which was used in sending
kilograms. This code, he said, was
later destroyed. When a car of
whiskey had been shipped, he said,
q telegram would be sent, reading
''the baseballs have been shipped"
Baseballs was the code word for
whiskey.
The defense questioned Custer
further, seeking to gain admissions
that Custer never gave any of the
money to HerzOg, but kept it all
himself, indicating that the de-
Tense will make a flat denial of all
charges.
The presence of Detective Bier
sach at the unloading of the car
of whiskey was investigated dur
ing the recent shake-up in the pO-
lice department. Biersach, it is
said, admitted to the mayor that
he was present, but that federal
agent was also there and that
permit was exhibited. He had no
means of knowing whether the per-
nit was forged and with federal
agents present did not think it his
business to make an investigation.
Cross examination failed TO
shake the testimony of Custer who
late yesterday implicated Herz0g
in bribery charges.

Court on December 18th for
Hearing of Case.

murder on March 80, 1919, of Patrol

At that time the court will deter

British Oppose French Ambitions.
Reports were circulating today in
authoritative naval circles of the con-
ference that the desire of France to
have navy equal to that of Japan
would be opposed by the British whose
naval experts argue that if both France
and Italy have fleet equal to that
of Japan the combined fleets would
surpass that Of England.
If the English, French and Italian
navies were in the proportion of 5-3-3,
the union of France-Italian fleets
would have the complete control of the
Mediterrean which the British hold is
indispensable to them as the highway
to India and distant South Africa.
The comment in French naval circles
is that as both Italy and France are
friends of Great Britain there is no
more reason to fear combination of
the two against her than there is to
fear that Japan and the United States
would unite against her. The French
point out that the theory by the Bri-
fish naval experts that Britain must
have fleet equal to that of any two
powers is out of date.
