LOS ANGELES, Nov. S.-The trial of Mrs. Madelynne Obenchain, in dicted jointly with Arthur c. Burch for the alleged murder of J. Belton Kennedy, was continued late today until Nov. 22, with the understanding that it would follow the trial of Burch, set earlier in the day for the same date. Judge Sidney N. Reeve denied motion asking for an imme- diate trial for Mrs. Obenchain.
 Disposition of the two cases in this manner ended two days of a legal contest in which attorneys for Burch
 strove to delay and counsel for Mrs Obenchain sought to have jury im- mediately enpaneled to try her.
 Burch's point was carried to the extent that a continuance was grant ed to permit the taking of affidavits in Chicago and Evanston, H., bear ing upon the question of his alleged insanity. Judge Reeve issued an or der authorizing Paul w. Schenck chief counsel for Burch, and Deputy District Attorney Asa Reyes to ar range for the taking of these deposi- tions. Schenck and Reyes announced they would start for Chicago tomor-
 row morning.
 As soon as the Burch matter had been thus disposed of, Charles Erb- stein, representing Mrs. Obenchain pressed a motion for the dismissal oi | the indictment as 1t related to her, or | the ground that she had not beer | brought to trial within 60 days of the | time of the filing of the indictment | Judge Reeve denied this motion or l the ground the defendant had con- scented to such delay as had taker | place.

JAP PANESE READY. II REDUCE NAVY. PROGRAM F ALL
 NATIONS AG GRE:E
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased wlrel


 WASHINGTON, Nov. s. After reiterating that Japan is ready to cut down her naval program in agreement with the powers provided the safety of Japan is assured, Ad- mira1 Baron Tomosaburo Kato, min- ister of marine and ranking head of the Japanese delegation, proceeded today to answer the question:
 What! is Japan's justification of . big navy?"
 "Every nation" he told newspaper men, feels the necessity of self-de- fense and knows that forces suffi- cient for self defense must be pro- vided. The degree depends on many factors and conditions, internal and otherwise, and the relations of the country with other powers.
 "For instance in the Far East Japan occupies an insular position. Should there exist a nation that in tends to make an attack upon Japan, it is the naval force alone that can defend our empire. Japan is not self sufficient. The question of the smallness or greatness of navy depends upon the point of view of each nation concerned. I do not consider the navy of Japan great. The plans already adopted are much inferior to the programs adopted by Great Britain and the United States D
 Admiral Kato, a frail looking man. who recalls picture of Marquis Kcmura, who represented Japan at the Portsmouth peace conference. gave evidence that he is not in Washington the man of silence familiar to Tokio. He answers prac- tically all questions instantly.
 He said he wanted to bring out that Japan's position on naval reduc- tions had been precise and unvaried since he first announced it in Tokio over . year ago and he wanted the

 The announcement was made fol- lowing MT. Stefansson's arrival on what he said was personal business. Because the party had arrived safe- ly on Wrangel Island, he stated, it had become possible for him to dis cuss in partial fashion some of the plans under consideration.
 There are six men in the Wran- gelist party, he explained, all of whom were picked because of hero ism or especial initiative shown on previous expeditions. The party left Nome secretly last September aboard a ship obtained expressly for the purpose.
 T financed and sent the expedi- ton into the north" he said.

 "The limitation of armaments can not be effected by Japan alone, he added. At the conference doubtless many propositions may be made. If they demand the cutting down Of our program, we are ready to do so. 1 want to make it perfectly clear that that is Japan's attitude"
 The admiral explained that the eight-and- eight program will be com pleted in 192S. It was, of course, a continuing program he added. IL had been begun years ago, and from year to year appropriations had been made in the Japanese diet to carry the work forward.
 Somebody asked: What is the proper basis of armament limita- tion?"
 The admiral answered:
 T have no doubt proposition will be made by the American delegates Therefore I think it is not my place to state our ideas on that subject I prefer to wait for the American proposition.
 To the question: Have you pre- pared any counter proposal to tho expected American proposition?" H. responded: q have no program tC offer, but in accordance with the de velopments from the American pro. posal we may have some suggestion: to offer .''
