been to a great extent responsible for
low returns to producers of fruits and

Washington.-The Senate naval com
mittee has concluded from testimony
of naval experts that it would be un-
wise and inadvlsable to stop work for
six months on capital ships while ex-
perts study the best types based on
the lesson OF the war.
In response to Senator Borah's reso-
luton OF inquiry as to advisability Of
such move the committee Will prob
ably give the Senate report of its
conclusions prepared by Senator Poin-
dexter, Republican of Washington.
who was instructed to draft it by the
committee.
The committee acted in executive
session. Action was taken soon after
members of the naval general board
opposed the proposal. The House nav
al committee considering disarmament,
heard Sir Philip Gibbs, British war
correspondent, who said Great Britain
would not enter race with the United
States for sea power. England. he said,
did not have the money
Tokio.-Yukio OZaki former lead
er of the Kensei-Kai, or opposition
party, told the Associated Press he
would introduce independently before
the diet n resolution proposing cur
tailment of naval armament. His res
olution, he said, would ask Japan to
communicate with the United States
and. England. and TO decide on the best
way to restrict naval programs in con-
junction. with those nations. NJ. Ozaki
was expelled from the Kensei-Kai be
cause he had not supported n suffrage
bill urged by that organization.
MY resolution" says NJ. ozaki, al
ready has been filed with the secretary
of the diet. Briefly it follows the line
of the resolution of Senator Borah. 1t
provides that Japan should communi-
cate with the United States and Great
Britain on naval reduction. My idea
is thai an international agreement on
this shO aid be reached.
81 will propose that army expendi-
lures should be reduced as far as pos
sible and that army projects should be
in accordance with the covenant of the

BY HUSBAND
Wife of Man Shot by Dentist
Hopes Innocence May
Be Proved.

PRINCETON, Ind, Dec. 21.-Her faith
shaken. but not shattered, Mrs. P. A.
Stokel. % sat at the bedside of her
wounded husband today hoping against
hope that he would be proven innocent
of robbery charges.
The girl wife of the man whom DR.. j.
X. Cunningham shot Monday in his office,
reached here last night from New York.
She carried a magazine and in 1t was
the picture of their little daughter.
She didn't believe her husband had
tried to force his way into DR.. Cunning
hams office to steal valuable dental sup
plies and instruments. Nor would she
believe he had stolen other dental sup
plies found in his baggage, which DR..
c. d. Smith identified as loot taken from
his office in Columbus Saturday night.
Mrs. Stokel appeared to be refined and
looked as though she had been dropped
out of a luxurious home into the hos
pital here where her husband lies with
two bullet holes through his breast.
With a stenographer nearby, Stokel re-
affirmed his wifes implicit faith that he
was a respectable buyer for Jewelry
firm. He told her he was shot when ne
tried to enter DR.. Cunningham's ofic'
to obtain cocaine with which TO relieve
an aching tooth when it became apparent
no dental aid was available.

COLUMBUS, Dec. 21-The claim that
It is more economical 70 burn coal than
to burn corn IN Ohio is made by rural
economists and stockmen at Ohio State
University, commenting upon the alleged
statement by L. 5. Secretary Of Agricul-
tura Wallace that corn at twenty cents
busheI is as economical a fuel as coal
al $40 a ton.
IN Ohio most corn is selling for be-
tween twenty-five and thirty cents a
bushel, and our nearness to the coal fields
is holding coal around IS a ton" de-
clared J. l. Falconer, head Of the De-
partment Of Rural Economics, who said
Secretary Wallaces figures appear to re-

Of her mother and at the home of Miss
Hall. Detectives visited the Hall WON
ans home and found goods valued from
500 to $1,000. including fur scarfs, ivory
and other articles.
The detectives believe that some of the
loot thought to have been stored at the
Risk home was destroyed between the
time they first visited the home and when
they returned to serve the warrant. On
the second visit, they said, they found
Mrs. Risk poking a fire in stove and a
large quantity of the goods that had
been there had disappeared.
