Silvas Denies He
 Was At Ruby When
 Pearson Was Shot

MORALES, Ariz., Dec 20.-Placido Silvas took the witness stand in the superior court here today in an effort to clear himself of the charges of murder in connection with the deaths of Postmaster and Mrs. Frank Pear son, who were killed by a band of bandits in the postoffice- store at Ruby on Aug. 26 last, on which he is being tried.
 Silvas denied that he was a partici- pant in the raid. He declared that he was at his fathers house in Arivaca at the time of the raid. The defense | also put on several other witnesses in an attempt to corroborate Silvas' testimony.
 Mir. and Mrs. B. L. Cason of Ruby testified that the Ruby postoffice- store could not be seen from the home of Mrs. Rosa Rodriguez. Mrs. Rodri- . guez, testifying for the prosecution, had declared that she saw Silvas en- ter the postoffice- store with the ban dits on the day of the raid. She said she was watching from her home.

between the United States, Great Britain and Japan would bring her capital ship tonnage to 102, 900 az gregate. He added that there was every disposition, however, to permit France to keep all her tonnage in dreadnaught ships. and even to make an allowance of 70,0o0 tons over the strict application of the rule of ex- isting strength as was done in the American 1z5, 1000 ton suggestion.
 The proposed agreement really doubles the relative strength of the French navy" his message added, pointing out that if 60 American and British building programs, proposed to be abandoned, were carried out each nation would have a naval pre- ponderance of more than six to one over France very shortly"
 And France would not be in a position to better herself, much less by any. possible endeayor, to obtain such relative strength as has been suggested" Mir. Hughes added
 The French delegation was under stood to be in receipt tonight of de- tailed instructions as to the amount of auxiliary naval tonnage, including submarines, desired under an agree ment to accept 175,000 tons of cap ital ships. MT. Hughes message disclosed that it would be possible for France. under that limitation, to build two new 35.000 ton post -Jutland battleships if she so desired.
 Roughly, the submarine tonnage, built and building. now possessed by each of the five powers follows:
 United States, 95,000 tons; Great Britain, S2,000; France, 2,000; Japan, 32,000; Italy. 22,000.
 The maximum of the American tonnage apparently was taken in the American original three power pro posal, with five thousand tons of submarines authorized to be aban- doned. Taking 90000 as the Ameri- can allotment, the Hughes plan would give Great Britain the same, and Japan 54,000 tons, or 50 per | cent ratio.
 | The French 175.00O ton capital ship tonnage would mean ratio of about | 367 compared to the American and | British five and the Japanese three. If that ratio were applied to sub l marines, France would have now nearly 10000 tons more than her pro- | portion and Japan more than 20,00C less.

would be used as a substitute. The Dali had the document and knew all about it, and an attempt was being made to mislead the public.
 Mir. Griffith cried: Why is the document not given to the public? We got certain instructions from the cabinet, which we followed. An at tempt is being made to represent cer- tain men as standing on the uncom- promising rock of the republic" :"
 Mfr. de Valera denied this. It was he said, well known that the dele gates went to London to secure re- cognition between Irish national as- pirations and association with tht community of nations known as tho British commonwealth of nations. Ii was because this treaty did not re- cognize them that it was opposed by he believed. majority of the Dail.
 Mir. Griffith answered.:
 We got certain instructions or November 25. Will you allow then to be published?"
 MT. de Valera replied that all cor respondence might be published.
 The sooner the better" said NIT Griffith.

de Valera said that the country would change it's mind after his cam paign of explanation.
 Alternative Is War
 War as an alternative of the treaty was generally recognized by all speakers. and it is understood that the retirement of the members into private session for an hour was to examine the position of the Irish re- publican army in case the treaty was rejected.
 Mr.. de Valera told the assembly that he thought if the treaty was re- Jected his alternative proposals for an agreement might be accepted.
 The members appeared deeply moved by the speech of Mrs. O'Calla- ghan, widow of the late mayor of Cork She condemns the treaty, like nearly all other women members and today asserted that active can- vassing was being employed to in- duee them to change their minds.
 A few women among the spectators found difficulty in refraining from open expression of sympathy with the speakers for rejection. One wo- man interrupted F'inian Lynch. when he said that all the members of his county, Kerry, favored the treaty. ex- cept one. an Englishman. Mir. Lynch complained to the speaker and the woman was elected. She was the Honorable Albinia Brodrick, sister ot Lord Middleton.
 In his speech, Deputy Milroy con- tended that the issue was not the treaty versus the republic. but was between the treaty and the de Valera's document. It was an issue as be- tween two forms of association witt the British empire. He created a sen terms of the alternative oath pro- posed by Mir. de Valera:
 de Valera Oath
 T do swear to bear true allegiance to the constitution of the Irish Free State and to the treaty of association of Ireland with the British common. wealth of nations and to recognize the king of Great Britain as head oi the associated states.''
 Mir. de Valera strongly protested that it was a shame to attempt tC prejudice the matter by referring tc a document, which was secret ana not relevant to the issue. He was he said, quite ready to have all docu- ments published.
 Mir. Griffith angrily declared: ''The Irish people should know tha that is the difference between us." MT. de Valera responded:
 That is not so, and is unfair" Answering MT. Milroy, MT de Va lera said it would be an infamous maneuver if he attempted to induo' anybody to reject the treaty in thu belief that some other documen

The British intend, it is understood, to fight the submarine issue out on its merits.
 The lines of the contest are not as yet clear. but an intimation came from Dutch circles tonight that while Holland was not concerned immedi- ately in the naval conference, it was interested in the submarine question and would oppose any attempt by the conference to set a world policy Of submarine abolishment.
