FOUND GUILTY ON
 CHARGE OF FRAUD

Bernard Collins yesterday was found guilty by jury in the superior court on charge of obtaining money by means of fraud and deception. He will be sentenced today by Judge Stanford. Collins was charged with obtaining s5 from the Ford soda shop through the alleged clever man. ipulation of currency in receiving change from an employe of the shop.
 According to the testimony in the case, Collins, in payment for food at the Ford soda shop, gave Al Wright, the clerk. a $10 bill and received s5 bill and silver in change. Collins. Wright said. put the bill in his pocket and after placing 15 cents with the silver, asked that it be changed into a s5 bill. After he had placed the second s5 bill on the counter, Wright testified, Collins then said he would take the s10 bill in place of the silver and the second s bill.
 After Collins had left the shop, Wright said. he discovered Collins had never returned the first s5 bill and he asked E. w. Title, police of- ficer, to arrest him. Amelia Dillman of the Wood Confectionery told of Collins coming into that place and declared he had short-changed her in the same manner. Collins denied the charge when testifying in his own defense

100 to 50 against Japan. As a mod ification. it was suggested that pre- dreadnaughts more than 20 years old be included and this would work out at 100 to 59.
 So, from any point of view, Jap anese experts have been able to approach the question, the American 50 per cent ratio offer allows Japan a greater proportionate strength than she now has,
 Any attack on the 5-5-3 ratio, it was added, with the full weight of the American delegation as sponsor for the statement. is to be regarded only as an attack on the fundamental principle of the whole naval plan.
Arizona republican., 1921-11-30

American plan discarded any att tempt 10 calculate fleet ratios in terms of national needs. There was no way from that standpoint, it was said authoritatively to give Japan proportion of more than 50 per cent Of the strength of any other power.
 So, it was added. the scheme of calculating in capital ship tonnage The present existing strength of each of the three major navies and cutting off further building by agreement was worked out. Then to induce an agreement, a percentage for Japan exceeding her existing strength was offered by the United States. and that was 60 per cent.
 Find Stopping Point.
 The basic principle of the plan is 10 sstop where you are,' it was as serted on authority of the American group. Japanese claims for 70 per cent ratio were characterized as z '-very extravagant," in view of the existing strength of her fleet. In reality, it was said. that figure would represent an increase of IT per cent fin the present Japanese naval power while the strength of Great Britain and the United States remained sta tionary.
 
 pefitors must stop together, it was said. One can not expect to run another ten yards. Yet it is a fact that the Japanese in subcommittee, have urged that Japan be permitted under an agreement reached by a conference called to limit naval arm- ament. to construct tonnage which would add 1T per cent to her navy before stopping building.
 %<sr.~ +0r~f f<1x4 frRrs seventy per cent has been presented at the meetings of the naval experts. Whether it was presented by author ity of the Japanese delegation is doubtful. but it was recalled by American officials that Admiral Baron Kato, a member of the delega- 1ion, had announced to the press early in the conference the Japanese purpose to seek a slightly higher general tonnage" than the Hughes plan contemplated
 To support the American view 1t was revealed that if the strength of the Amerioan and Japanese fleets were calculated in terms of ships now in commission, plus keels of raDital ships laid down, theA ratio would be 100 to 45 against Japan. If the rule we've applied to add to conafnission capital craft and keels laid down. ships on which money had been expende q for materials. the ratio would be 100 to 55. If the ecuzparisnn were made on the basis of completion of ships building in addition tc ships afloat, the ratio would he Iao to 49-
 Another suggestion from Japanese forces that the comparison should he naxse on the basis of ships in commission alone was Instantly re- secfea by the American delegates. That wonld mean that the United states would not only scrap all ships on which more than s335>ooo,- 600 has been spent. but would not be allowed to. count that expenditure in estimating 1,sS naval strength. V StfR another suggested method or wass that all pre-dread- naurhts less tNan 20 years old of riff1cr navy be included. That cal ciiafson would have made the ratio
