Japs Ready To
Cut Sea Strength
Upon Agreement

Aboard Steamship Kashima
Maru, Oct. 26.-Japan stands
ready to cut down her navy if the
powers reach an understanding at
the forthcoming conference at
Washington on limitation of arm
aments and Far Eastern questions,
according to Vice Admiral Tomo-
saburo Kato, member of the Japa-
nese delegation to Washington,
which is travelling to America
aboard this ship.
The vice admiral, who is Ja-
pans naval minister, made his
statement in an address to the pas
sengers.
He declared that, although he
had been criticised as the man re-
sponsible for Japan's eight-and-
eight naval building program. and
therefore. loath to undo his work,
yet nothing was farther from the
truth.
Vice Admiral Kato asserted that
his position had been clearly out
lined in an interview given to the
Associated Press at Toxic last
year and he made the claim that
Japan was the first of the powers
to definitely set limit to which
she was willing to cut her navy.
On the other hand the Japanese
delegate said if no national accord
is reached at Washington. Japan
would not and could not curtafi
her navy program a single inch.

Patient 80
Years Jumps from
Window, Is Killed

While rain beat against the
windows of the state hospital for
the insane at 2 o'clock this morn
ing, Henry Weisenfee ceased to be
a burden on the state. He died
from injuries sustained yesterday
afternoon when he jumped from a
second story window of a building
on the cottage farm, south of Sa-
lem. He was 70 years of age.
Probably Henry Weisenfee did
MT have any relatives. At any
rate they never came to visit him
in his little room at the asylum
farm. Scarcely anybody even knew
the old man who was occasionally
seen on the state grounds. But
officials liked and were good to
him.
Picked up and carried to a bed
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-10-27

from the spot where he was found,
terribly injured, Weisenfee had
the best care that physicians could
provide, but medical skill could
not save him. The setting of his
left leg, which had been broken
near the hip and the attention to
his other injuries, could not keep
him alive. The shock proved too
much.
Thirty years ago-in 1891
Weisenfee was committed to the
hospital from Benton county. A
quiet, ord arly pSient, Weisenfee
won the right to be sent to the cot
tage farm. What prompted him to
take his life yesterday is not
known.
The remains are at the parlors
of Webb G Clough, Salem under
takers.

Endorsement of the proposed
viaduct over the Southern Pacific
tracks near the state fairgrounds
which calls for a merging Of the
Pacific highway and Silverton
roads and 600 foot roadway on
both sides of the track, was made
this noon at the regular luncheon
of the Marion County Realtors
association, following q presenta-
tion of q solution to that effect
made by Edwin Socolofsky.
Action Renuest4d
L. G. Hayford, president of the
organization. in calling attention
to the meeting recently held in
the Commercial club where prop
erty owners heated near the
tracks objected to such struc-
ture stated:
TT seems to me that viaduct
is essential to the safetv OF strane
ers nassing in and out Of the city.
and as Salem grows it will become
more of an essential, therefore,
ask that we take some action in
the matter"
Mrs. Bessie Snyder. member of
the association, who is consider
ably interested in the sale OF
prnnerty in that part of the city.
stated that as far as she knew
there would be little property dam
age done real estate by the via
duet.
The resolution as unanimously
passed by the association fol-
lows.
Whereas, the construction Of a
yiaduct over the Southern Pacific
railroad to obviate the grade cross
ings on the Pacific highway and
road at the fair grounds
is to be jointly constructed by the
railroad, state, county and city,
be 1t
"Regolyed, by the Marion coun-
ty Realtors association that we
go on record as favoring the pro-
posed viaduct as a public neces-
sity and pledge our support to its
construction"
State Raped
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the flax situation made
a partial report through A. c.
who stated that at the
next meeting Robert Crawford. re-
cent manager of the prison flax
plant. will talk. as well as A B.
Bradley. the largest flax grower
in the state.
"The injustice of the present
situation OF the flax industry
here" stated Mr.. Bohrnstedt. ~is
illustrated by the fact that one
old lady, a pioneer of the state
who came here by OK team, help
ing to develop a large farm, mas
recently sold her $50 acre farm
and accepted as part payment an
assignment Of a flax growers con-
tact TO the extent of $500. Need
ing money to live on she tried to
borrow $1,000 at the banks and
was turned down. In other words
the state officials have let the
credit Of the state. with reference
TO the flax business, get so low
that banks viii not loan money

al. F7ax growers are held mp for

Busy Beavers
 Get Best of Miner

From Whitehorse comes a story of how beavers resented interfer- ence with their home life on the edge of a placid lake a few miles back from that town.
 A miner staked a mineral claim near one end of the lake from which there was an outlet in the form of small stream in which beavers had constructed dam. In preparation for digging a tunnel the miner opened the dam which lowered the water in the lake about eight feet. Starting in almost at the surface of the water a tunnel was run quite a distance back un- der the hill bordering the lake which penetrated a fine body of ore from which a number of samples were taken and sent outside, and which showed such high values that the attention of a syndicate was attracted with the result that experts were sent in to examine the property.
 It was last spring that the miner completed the tunnel, after which he put everything in shape for in- spection and left the claim. On the arrival of the mining engineers recently he proceeded to escort them to his property with visions of wealth and future ease before him. On reaching the lake the mouth of the tunnel had disap- peared. Investigation showed that the beavers had been busy and had rebuilt their dam, with the result that the water in the lake was eight feet deeper than when the miner had left 1t and the mouth of the tunnel was several feet under water.
 Advising the miner to inaugurate a beaver-hunting campaign first and prospect his claim later the engineers promised to return the next year in the event the hardy prospector was able to circumvent the activities of the beavers.

Game Warden Says
 Elk Would Thrive
 On Montague Island

c. H. Hill, of Cordova, game warden for Prince William Sound district, spent several days here Investigating game and fur con- ditions in this section. Senator Hill is an old-time Valdezan, and has a host of friends at this port, who were more than pleased to meet him once more. MT. Hill came to Alaska in 1895, mushing into the Circle district where he was later deputy collector for a term. Following the stampeders he made his way to Valdez, where he resided for a number of years. Later, he moved to Cordova where he has since resided.
 MT. Hills appointment was a happy thought on the part of the governor, as the new warden is an ardent lover of game, and is the originator of the plan to prop agate deer on Montague island, where 40 head were brought up from Southeastern Alaska and re. leased several years ago. The herd has increased rapidly, and despite Native poachers and other enemies now numbers about 125 head. Mir. Hills now interested in securing a number of elk and turning them loose on the island, which is about IS by 35 miles in extent, with good feed and shel. ter. He believes elk would prop agate rapidly under conditions found there.
 While here Mir. Hill interviewed fur dealers, warning them they must register their furs and pay the tax on same. He states that unless this is done the furs are liable to confscation. - Valdez Miner.
