2 WOMEN, 8 MEN
BADLY WOUNDED
Two Unidentified Men Fire
Shotguns at Victims In
Lovers Lane.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.--Two women and
three men were wounded in a mysteri-
Gus shooting in Lovers Lane, Evanston,
shortly before midnight.
The Eve were standing in front OF
one-room bungalow occupied by the two
women when an auto roared by, the oc-
cupants discharging several shots froIn a
shotgun.
Miss c. B. Dow, a school teacher, and
Miss Minnie Mahecek, an art student,
who were the NEST seriously wounded,
stated they had been annoyed recently
by two men, whose names they did not
know. They had complained to the
Evanston police The authorities advised
the girls to arm themselves and they
carried two loaded revolvers in their
hand bags.
As they neared their bungalow, which
they used for a summer cottage, Miss
Dow said she looked back and saw an
auto occupied by two men coming after
them. They ran to the gate Of their
bungalow, where William Hesketh,
Harold and Henry Cohrs, friends Of the
two women. were standing.
The women hid behind the three :aen.
AS the auto passed by q man leaned
forward and shot FIVE times. The two
women although wounded by the Elugs
from the shotgun, returned the IRE at
the fleeing auto.
All Of the injured were taken TO the
Evanston hospital While their injuries
were pronounced serious by physicians,
they said they would recover.

men are not bent upon building and main
tanning the mightiest feet that ever
sailed the seas-despite Uncle Sans fnan-
cial ability to create such an armada But
because We have the wherewithal to do so,
our Naval advisors urge that we declare
our determination at least to possess
such strength at sea as will maks the
United States Navy literally second to
none. Any standard below that, they de-
clare, would not be a margin of national
safety. We should always be in danger
from power that marshalled a bigger
force in battleships and big guns.
Great Britain's program of a zone
power standard"-i e., British navy
equal to that OF the United States, no
greater and no less--is not unacceptable
to American naval authorities. If the
British prefer, which has been made
officially, were accompanied by guar
antees that Great Britain Is prepared
to extend an absolutely square deal"
to American oversee commerce and trade
throughout the world, American naval
men probably would be found heartily
in favor of a cordial and definite under
standing with the British navy. Our
naval authorities lays great stress on
that point. They say the American
fleets function is to safeguard Ameri-
can maritime interests no less than to
protect our shores from invasion or dew
astation by enemy forces. There is a
feeling in American naval quarters that
here and there, there is a tendency on
the part of British authorities and bust
ness men TO double cross" American
rivals and monopolize certain facilities
like cables, wireless, shipping insurance
oil, banking and other competitive act
tivities. The view OF the American
naval man is that no American British
naval understanding would be worth
while that did not insure the United
States full and unmolested equality Of
opportunity in the maritime trade Of
the world and in all its varied ramifca-
tons.
With Great Britain and the United
States IN agreement respecting arma-
ments at sea, our naval authorities are
inclined to think there would be little
difficulty in effecting g curtaTment Of
naval expenditure by other powers.

NAVY BOARD, IN
MEETING, BACKS
HARDING TALK
Believes Conferences Can Not
End Wars and Navy Must
Be Strong.
ALL FOR LIMITATIONS

By FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.--Under whaN
conditions can the United States curtail
navy expenditure was the subject Of
protracted discussion by the General
Board of the Navy In Washington last
week. The board was assembled in spec
ial conclave for the first time since the
calling of the forthcoming international
conference on limitation of armament
Its deliberations and eventual recon-
mendations will go far toward determin-
| Ing the policy to be advocated by
America when the conference -agenda
reaches the alI-important topic of naval
reduction.
The sessions of the general board are.
Of course, confidential in character. Its
findings are reported exclusively to the
Secretary Of the Navy. So much can be
revealed without violating official
secrecy-that the board subScribes IN
reservedly to the theory enunciated by
President Harding at the war college
on Sept. 1, viz, that conferences are not
going to end war. Sharing that view, the
general board holds that the United
States must continue to remain strong
enough at sea to meet every conceivable
emergency. Naval leaders are grateful
to the President for what they call his
timely intervention in the pre- confer
ence cam oaign. They feel such a blast
from exalted quarters was necessary to
remove much public apprehension.
From the misuse Of the term "disarma-
ment," instead of limitation Of arma-
ment, many Americans were beginning
to think the Washington conference
would wipe out armies and nayiss at
] .. ~A,,~
Uncle Sans annual budget by six or
seven hundred million dollars a year.
The General Board Of the Navy consists
of Admiral r. E, Coontz, chief of opera
lions, Rear Admiral w. L. Rodgers, for
mer command er-in-c chief OF the Asiatlo
feet; Rear Admiral william s. Sims
president Of the Naval War College; Maj
Gen John A Le1eune, commandant OF
the Marine Corps: Rear Admiral n. A
McCully, late commander -in-chief In Rus
sian waters; Rear Admiral Andrew T
Long. formerly chief Of Naval Intelli-
gence; Rear Admiral r. II. Jackson

ject of Japanese naval activities and
ambitions. They regard it a master
stroke on the part of the United States
to have included a general discussion
of Pacific and Far Eastern questions
in the conference on ornaments. Fewer
difficulties are expected with Japan on
the subject of naval curtailment than on
the subject of the mandates over the
Caroline and Marshall Islands in the mid
Pacific. The United States has never
sanctioned the bestowal of a japanese
mandate over those former German pos,
sessions. The Spokesman of the United
States Navy at the Washington confer
ence are certain to submit a very def
mite settlement of the future status of
the islands because they stand squarely
across Americas sea route to Guam and
the Philippines. One Of the most emil
nent naval authorities in the United
States declares roundly that II the Caro-
lines and Marshalls continue to be
held by Japan and are fortified suffi-
GENTLY to prevent their being taken by
a naval expedition, the United States
never could carry out successful oper-
ations against japan, no matter what the
power Of our fleet
pears to be that limitation OF naval
ornaments must take place IN terms OF
fleet units rather than by reductions of
naval budgets. 1t is described as i'm
practicable, in other words, for nations
to agree to cut down their annual e1-
penditure by so-an-so much. There
would be no feasible means Of control
ling naval bookkeeping and too much
would have to be taken on faith. Figures
can be hidden and juggled. but, as an
admiral said to the writer today. You
cant hide battleships, battle-cruisers OF
airplane- carriers"
American naval leaders are hopeful, II
not over-confident, that substantial re-
suits will ensue from the Washington
conference. They are under no illusions
as to what may happen If the conference
adJourns without accomplishing its mis-
sion-namely, that It Will have a paved
way for world conditions more menacing
than those it now aspires to improve

NEW YORK, Sept 6.-ln Japan thus
far sports have remained untainted by
professionalism. all those who participate
in athletics being amateurs in the fullest
sense Of the term This, in a people
noted fer their endurance and genius for
detail, makes them dangerous opponents
in international sporting contests. For
instance, the challenge round tennis
matches for the Davis cup offers a study
Of the challengers.
Both OF the challengers are unmarried
young men, who learned the game Of ten
mis- in their college days in Toxic, and
have kept IN training in the course Of
their commercial journeyings out from
Nippon. Ichiya Kumagae was gradutetd
from the Toxic higher commercial col
nege and became connected with the
/ Mitsubishi Bank which has q branch at
100 Broadway, where for five years he
has been q modest clerk in the foreign
exchange department. ZenzO Shimidzu
took his degree from a japanese uni
versity and entered the exporting house
Of Mitsui & Company, which has branch
at c. Broadway. where it was said Mr..
Shimidzu was assistant manager Of the
Calcutta branch office.
The japanese have suffered so much
Z
tives, feelings and ideas that it is fit
ting to chronicle their desires, above ell.
not TO be classed as Orientals with other
peoples Of the East, but to be known and
judged on their own account. Hence,
their desire to become cosmopolitan In
the play Of the western world, tennis,
baseball, Billiards, golf. and even bridge.

where the Peace river once flowed, Is

Some years ago an Indian brought
into Fort st. John a falr-sized gold

told by old-tlmers Of the north, he dis
covered in a stream in the country to
the northeast of the post.
Soon after this an old trapper, a
white man, who made Fort st. John
his headquarters, came into the fort

would be away for a few days, always
returning with a fresh supply Of gold.
This aged trapper lived in this man
ner for a number Of years. He died,
rs many trappers and north country
men have, on, the trail. His body was
found frozen. With him went his !se-
cret, he never having told to9anyone
the ldcatiOn Of his find. The books of
the Hudsoh's Bay company still con-
tain alarge credit account in the name
of the old trapper.
Northmen, who tell the story of the
mystic Ell Dorado north of the Peace
river declare that the gold was only
available after a heavy fall Of snow,
with which the old fellow apparently
washed his mineral. From an analysis
OF the circumstances generally, 1t is
thought that the place from which the
gold was taken was some old river bed
where the Peace river once flowed, but
whether the story is correct or not re-
mains to be proved,
PrOspectors, however, are putting
up good money TO test the truth of
the theory that the precious metal
does exist somewhere to the north OF
Clear Hills in large quantities.
