CHICAGO Il" CRASH;
TWENTY-FIVE HURT

Chicago, Nov. II - Twenty-fv
persons were injured, two of them
probably fatally, this morning when
two five-car elevated trains, Loop
bound, from the West Side, were
wrecked in a rear-end collision. at
the Crawford avenue station on the
Oak Park line.
Three steel coaches were demol-
ished and several victims pinned be-
meath the wreckage. Firemen with
acetylene torches cut through the
twisted metal to reach them.
The collision was due, to dense
fog. Both the trains were bound
for the loop with crowds Of workers.
One train went through the rear
of the car ahead. Two heavy steel
cars We're telescoped. Most Of the
seriously injured were in these
coaches.
Three hundred patrons in other
cars We're thrown to the floors and
showered with broken glass. Many
suffered minor cuts and bruises.
Patrick Mcclure, 35, guard, was
pinned under the wreckaSe for more
than an hour. until firemen obtained
torches and cut through the mass of
twisted steel plates and iron beams.
He died three hours after being re
moved from the wreckage. William
Griffin. who was riding on the plat
form with Mcclure suffered a crush
cd leg, and also may die.

Limelight Grows
Dim in Trial Fatty
at San Francisco

San Francisco, Nov. 11-After coun-
sci for both sides had accepted deh-
nitelv a jury to try Roscoe c. Fatty
Arbuckle on a manslaughter charge
today, admissions by one of the l.
about to be sworn in set the attorneys
back at picking out 18th juror late
today. As result, today's session
ended with the jury incomplete.
George r. Morgan was the man VINO
blocked the proceedings. He inform
ed the court that he wished to change
hi. answers to certain questions ask
cd him and then announced he had
formed an opinion ION the weight of
circumstantial evidence" He was cx-
cused.
The prosecution then used its last
peremptory challenge to excuse Ed
ward Pausot, called in place of Nor
gan. This also was the last peremp-
tory challenge available for either
side.
Examination OF prospective jurors
was speeded up today. Interest in the
case apparently reached its lowest
point since Arbuckle formally was
accused OF causing the death of Nir-
cinia Rappe. film actress, through in
iuries inflicted at a party he gave in
his rooms at the Hotel st. Francis
here. At times there were more per-
sons inside the attorneys bar than in
the spectators' section of the court
room.

Washington, Nov. 18-We are now
directly at the heart of the armament
conference. We are at the point
where the only possibility Of deadlock
lies. 1t will not end in a deadlock,
but the cause Of real difference is
there. Specifically it looks like
mere matter of procedure, but funda-
mentally it goes to the foundations.
Your correspondent is familiar with
the point of view of all the delega-
tions and a careful comparison of
these various positions reveals as
tonishingly little difference. Especial
ly surprising and hopeful is the
slight difference between what the
! United States wants in the Far East
and what Japan and Great Britain
are willing to have done there. pro-
vided it is done in the way they re-
gard as the only sound way. Even
as regards this one difference, which
! is big and fundamental the attitude
of the powers concerned is so toler-
ant, so disposed to make concessions.
and so intent upon success that 1t
cannot be predicted that this differ
ence endangers success. 1t is certain
however, that it does contain ele-
ments Of delay and uncertainty.

thing like this:

of adopting our way. But we should

which that Alliance performs are

The Far Eastern negotiations await

views on China's program should pre-

Japs Want Trife
Bigger Navy Than
Proposal Calls For

Washington, Nov. 11-(By A. P.)
Admiral Baron Kato. head of the
Japanese delegation to the arma-
ment conference, announced today
that Japan would ask modification
of the American naval limitation
program which would permit Japan
to maintain general tonnage
slightly greater than 60 per cent" of
that of each of the other two pow
ers.
Japan also would ask, Baron Kato
said, for the right to maintain "a
type of vessel of strictly defensive
character" with tonnage approx
mating that maintained by the other
two powers.
A statement issued by Baron kato
said:
Because OF her geographical posi-
ton, Japan deems 1T only fair at the
present time that the other interest
ed countries should agree that she
should maintain a proportion in gen.
eral tonnage slightly greater than 6o
per cent. and in type of vessel of
strictly defensive character, she
llll9IL IFSlEe even " oPPi tN'
that Of the greater navies."
Baron kato's statement was made
at conference with newspaper cor
respondents, but he would not give
details as to the notifications his
delegation would submit, saying this
was for the conference to discuss.
1t was assumed. however. that the
slightly greater" general tonnage
the Japanese desired would include
battleship Mutsu. probably just COM
missioned and that the type OF de-
fensve vessel referred tofwas a light
cruiser suitable for policing the wa
ters Of tn Orient against pirates and
the like.
The Mutsu is a ship Of some $4,000
tons, armed with eight 16-inch rifles.
She is comparable to the American
Maryland class and according to
Secretary Hughes program, each
nation would retain but one ship in
this class Great Britain has no bat
tleships Of this type. If the Mutsu
Is later added to the ships Japan Is
to retain, she will make the second
