Washington, Nov. 30-Japan's pro-
posal for a 70 per GENT fleet asde-
cessary to her national security i'm
stead of a SO percent fleet. has been
formally presented to the United
States and Great Britain. - n
Baron Admiral Kato, senior sJapa-
nese delegate, has communicated it
personally to Secretary Hughes and
Arthur j. Balfour 1t is said in ia
panese quarters to have the full sup
port of the Japanese cabinet and the
diplomatic advisory counsel in Toxic
American and British naval ex-
perts standing together on Secreta-
ry Hughes 5-5-3 plan as the only one
fair to all powers regards the jap
anese proposal as wholly unaccepta-
BILE. In the opinion of some of the
American delegates the situation rs
delicate but not without hope that
he Japanese Ultimately will accept
the original plan.
The seriousness of the turn of af-
fairs IN the opinion of the Americans
is that Japan in persisting in her re-
quest for a 10-10-7 ration makes a
stroke at the fundamental idea on
which Secretary Hughes proposal is
based.
Secretary Hughes and his three
colleagues of the American delega-
tion spent nearly three hours to-
night debating the situation. Here
tofore the Japanese claim had been
made only informally in the sub
of naval experts. The
it was disclosed was based
not on calculation of the strength
Of the existing American, British and
Japanese fleet but upon her estimates
Of necessity for national security.

KNOWS R|GHT-WRONG
Just a Pathological Liar
Former Heal of

Orlando, Nov. 30-The conclusion
of the case of the defense at 2:15
this afternoon the testimony Of DIR.
Fl. Mason Smith, alienist for the
state that Lena Clarke was not in
sane and knew the difference between
right and wrong and was perfectly
conscious of her act at the time F. A.
Miltimore was killed and the an
nouncement of the state just before
court adjourned that they had but
one more witness to call and would
close their case within half hour
after court rnnvefed tomorrow
morning marked the eighth day OF
the trial of Miss Clarke and Baxter
Patterson.
1t is expected that the arguments
of the state and defense will com
sumo the entire day tomorrow and
the case go to the jury either late in
the afternoon or early Friday morn
ing.
Is Constitutional Psychopath
That Miss Clarke is a constitution
al psychopath, one born with an in
feriour mind and that she Is suffer-
ing from paranoidal tendencies which
might make her normal in all re-
spects was the way DR.. Smith dag
nosed the case of the former West
Palm Beach postmistress as the re-
suit of a series of visits and obser-
vations of her in her cell in the Or
ange county jail.
On cross examination by the de-
fense for more than an hour the for
mer superintendent of the state hos
pital for the insane answered every
question put by defense counsel. Un-
reservedly he gave it as his opinion
that the woman was sane conscious
of anything she might have done on
August l last. He stated that par
anoia was common to many types of
people such as hoboes, ne'er do wells
and that anyone with an inadequate
might be said to have
paranoia tendencies. Pathological
lying peculiar to to paranoia he said,
was trait of character and not evil
dent of diseased mind. Day dream
ers who have formation of ideas
not in incompatible with retality
could not be classed as true paranoi-
acs so that they might have paran-
oacal tendencies.
Had Transmigratory Flights
When the defense sought to pin
lim down in asking him if it were
lot true that the only difference on
which he based his opinion as to the
sanity of Miss Clarke and that of
he alienists for the defense was in
he fact that he termed transmigra-
.ory flights to beliefs and to delus-
ons and that if there might not be
| reasonable doubt as to the infalli-
'ility of his poinion as opposed to
heirs should the case rest on it he
eplied, 81 don't know whether or
lot the case hinges on it but if so it
would not alter my opinion that Le-
"a Clarke was sane when she com
aitted the crime with which she is
harged."
