Moaning q Glory.

The word clergy, like ire word
clerk, which 10 the Latin clefcus n
AnRlIclzed form. does not refer exs
ciusIvely to churchmen. but includes
all who have any pretenSIOn toward

william Rufus. the second Of the
Norman kings Of England, enacted an
ordinance In 1857 known BY the title
..Benefit Of Clergy" in accordance
with which an accused man could save
his life on proving that he was not
entirely ignorant Of letters.
The statute IN favor Of those
who constituted the clergy IN this
sense continued nOminally in force until
Queen Anne's reign, when IN 100 i

JAPS DEMAND

KATo ANNOUNCES INsIsTENcE
HUGHES PLAN BE
CHANGED.
AMERICA EQUALLY FIRM
American Delegates Declare Naval
Ratio for Three Powers Must Re-
main 1853" as Outlined
BY Hughes.

Washington.-The Washington arms
conference is approaching its first
great decision.
It has been announced by Vice Ad-
miral Kato, chief Japanese naval ex-
pert, that Japan seeks a 20 per cent
naval ratio. At the same time it was
announced with equal authority that
the American delegation stood firmly
on Secretary Hughes '5-5-S" ratio
proposal, which means a so per cent
status for Japan. The conference ul-
@timately must reconcile these two
views or accept one or the other to
reach agreement on naval limitations.
Vice Admiral Kato said the 70 per
cent ratio was the minimum neces-
sary for Japanese security.
The American view is that 60 per
cent for Japan is the maximum naval
strength that could be accepted in
view of American liabilities in the
Pacific.
Tomorrow the naval experts Jof the
five powers will hold their first meet
ing in nearly week. They have con-
cluded their inter-group discussion of
the American plan, SO far as its ma
jor factors are concerned. Develop
ments today and tonight Indicated that
they would return the matter to the
conference delegates without recon-
mendations for, important modifica-
tiOnS.
The American experts are satisfied
that the original estimates of naval
strength on which the Hughes plan
was based were correct. What form
the committee report may take Is not
clear. Presumably the British Off
GERS are in accord with the American
view in many respects. The attitude
Of French and Italian experts has not
been formally disclosed.
In any event it seems likely that
the scene OF action will be transferred
within the week from the experts to
the committee room, where the dele
gates of the five powers must weigh
questions of policies as well as Of
facts. Presumably the Japanese group
Is prepared to continue its argument
there for 10-1O-7 fleet ratio instead
Of the American 5-5-3 proposal. To
what extent Japanese insistence may
be carried in committee or later be-
fore the conference itself, however, IL

Attorney Sentenced to Six
Months; Case Being TAX
en- to. Another Court.

Shanghai, Aug. s.-(MailD-Amer-
leans in Shanghai are intensely inter-
-ested in the case of. William F. Flem-.
ing. an American attorney and head
of a law firm here, who. on July 2S,
was sentenced by Judge Charles 8.
Lobingier OF the United States court
for China, to serve q sentence of six
Shanghai for contempt OF court.
After having served IS days, his
sentence was suspended by Judge
Lobingier pending a review of the
contempt proceedings by the Ninth
district United States circuit court OF
appeals of California, to which the
case Is being taken on writ Of error.
MI. Fleming gave bail to the amount
of $4,000 when. released.
sation in legal circles largely. because
it was upon Representations by Mr..
Fleming that President Harding, early
in August. ordered an investigation
of the United States court insthis city.
Besides, MI. Fleming is a prominent
figure in the financial world of Shan
hal, senior member of one of the lead
ing American law firms Of the Far
East and the case has involved an at
tack by Mr.. Fleming upon the integ-
rity Of Judge Lobingier and upon r
tain officers Of his court.
An Unusual Position.
The case also has brought into pub
lie notice the unusual position in
which the United States court for
China functions, under existing laws.
As an example of this situation of, the
court, attorneys here, point out that
some months age Judge Lobingter
handed down a decision in a capital
case to the effect hat an American
citizen may be- tried for his life in
that court and. be executed without
privilege Of trial by jury. This rul-
ing wasS based on a,sdeciEoH of the
United States supreme court in the
Ross case which held that the guar
antees given by the United States con-
stitution apply only to citizens and
Others within the United States or
who may be brought there for trial
for alleged offenses committed else
where, and not to residents or tem-
porary sojourners abroad"
here, also, that no change of venue
may be granted in cases brought be-
fore the United States court for China.
Mr.. Fleming visited the state de-
partment at Washington in the mid
die Of the summer and, twas under
stood, presented criticisms OF the
United States court here which have
not been, made public. Soon after his
return from Washington to Shanghai
in; July, he was arrested on a war
rant charging him with; criminal libel
against Stirling sFessenden OF Shang-
hal, a member of the law firm Of
which Major Chauncey P. Holcomb
United States district attorney fol
China, was formerly a member.
At the preliminary hearing OF the
libel charge before a; United States
commissioner; Mr.. Fleming made
charges against the various court Of
ficials and others and alleged thai
he was the victim Of a conspiracy.
rs Repeated Charge.
Mr.. Fleming repeated-these charges
