stock show but there will be a
good showing of fine cattle and
hogs, breeders having volunteer
ed to bring in their stock and
make an exhibit that will be
worth seeing.
There will be band music, a
ball game and two speakers. Mr..
j. B. Lamson, of Chicago, and
Mr.. Paul B. Naylor of the state
university, have both accepted
invitations and will make ad-
dresses. Mr.. Lamson will speak

JAPAN NOT To COMPETE
 WITH AMERICA FOR NAVY


 Tokio, April ' (By the A. P.).-Com- menting today on the recent statement by Vice Admiral kato, the minister of ma- rine, in which he declared Japan was not trying to compete with the American navy and that her project to have a fleet of eight hattleships and eight battle cruisers not more than eight years old was not necessarily irreducible. the con- servative newspaper Jijo Shimpo declares this statement merits serious attention throughout the world. It deserves such attention, it says. because, contrary to the opinion of many other Japanese, it admits the possibility of scaling down the building program when a reliable agree ment for curtailment shall have been concluded among the powers.
 Vice Admiral Kato's declaration. 1" adds the newspaper, should serve to re- move misunderstanding abroad and give decided impetus to the movement for international armament restriction"

ADHEREs TO CONFESSION
 OF KILLING ELWELL

Buffalo, N. Y, April 1.-Two hours of questioning tonight by New York news papermen who had worked on the Elwell murder story and knew every detail or the cas- tailed to shake the story of Roy Harris, whl last night confessed to the local police that he and companion murdered Joseph B. EIwell in New York last June.
 Except for some minor details, Harris, in response to questioning, described per- fectly the arrangement of the rooms in Elwelrs home. He told again the story of how he and William Duncan, hired by a mysterious Mrs. Fairchild," went to the home of Elwell and waited there for four hours until their intended victim came. Then, he said. Duncan fired the shot which killed Elwell.
 Under questioning tonight Harris said that he had seen published in connection with the Elweli case picture of wom- an who he thought was the Mrs, Fairchild mentioned in his story. All efforts to get from him the name of this woman failed however. He said that he would not di- vulge it unless he was absolutely certain that the woman of the picture was the woman who as he said, had niiou hin and Duncan to murder Elwell. District Attorney Moore said that Ha- ITS told remarkaDly well connected story of the murder Before questioning the man, the district attorney had hin examined by an alienist who pronounced Harris mentally normal.
 | When shown despatches from Bridge
 port, Conn, saying that William Dun
 kin" had been in reformatory sine 1919, Harris said: T don't know any thing about that. I haven't been il 1 Bridgeport since I was a boy The nal
