Admiral Kato's Address
The official text of Admiral Kato's
address as delivered follows:
Japan deeply appreciates the sim
certify of purpose evident in the plan
of the American government for the
limitation OF armament. She is sat
isfied that the proposed plan will
materially relieve the nations or
wasteless expenditure and cannot
fail to make for the peace of the
world.
"She cannot remain unmoved by
the high aims which have actuated
the American project. Gladly &C
cepting therefore the proposal in
principle, Japan is ready to pro-
coed with determination to a sweep
ing deduction in her naval arma-
ment.
ut will be universally admitted
that a nation must be provided with
such armament as are essential to its
security. This requirement must be
fully weighed in the examination of
the plans. With this requirement in
view certain notifications will be
proposed with regard to the tonnage
basis for replacement of the various
classes of vessels. This subject
should be referred to special con-
s%ideration. When such propositions
are considered the American and
other delegates can be counted on
to handle the same in a satisfactory
manner.
Japan has never claimed nor has
intention - claiming to have a gem

to that of either the United States

Errors Court and His Con-
viction Stands

TRENTON, Nov. 15-In an opin-
ion written by Chancellor Walker.
presiding Judge. the court Of errois
and appeals has affirmed the con-
viction of frat degree murder OBJ
tanned by the state against Joseph
Timmeraris in Middlesex county as
the result of the death OF Henry
Kouphaupt. Timmerari's father
and motheY E.spara and Angelina
Timmerari. were tried with their
son for the murder and both were
acquitted. Evidence showed that
there had been a quarrel with
the Timmerari family participated.
The deceased raj shot several
times by the son resulting in death.
the appeal to the errors court for
setting aside the conviction. Part
of the trial judges charge to the
jury was attacked. This part of thej
charge read: ar would say that un-
less there was a concert of action
agreed upon between these defend
ants to commit this assault which
resulted in the death through the
act of one of the parties, they arc
either guilty of an equal degree or
they are not guilty" This COM
ment was attacked on the ground
that it was pfejudicial to the inter.
est of Joseph Tfmmerari.
Obviously, said the chancellor's
opinion, all three, father, mother
and son, could not be held response
BILE for acts of one and be equally
guilty with him. when he alone slew
the deceased man, unless there was
a preconcerted move among them.
what the trial judge undoubted-
ly meant" said the opinion, "and
intended to say was: II there were a
concert of action agreed upon among
them. etc, they would either be
guilty of an equal degree or not
| guilty and counsel and jury u
| have so understood it and the jury
by their verdict found there was no
preconcert, or they would have con-
victed all as instructed in the
charge"
The errors court found there a
nothing wrong with the charge. 1t
also dismissed the contention that
Joseph Timmerari could not be hell
| guilty as an alder and abetter. The
| opinion points out that naturally he
| could not be held in this way be-
| cause he was the actual slayer. Tie
court also dismissed h argument
| that the judges charge tended to
preclude Joseph from acquittal be-
| cause it failed to instruct as to a
| Jury verdict distributing the guilt,
| There is no such thing as "dividins
| culpability'' or distributing guilt
| said the chancellor. Also the appeal
was not specific IN errors alleged at
the trial, held the errors court.
