May Be Tried In That Country, As
There Is No Extradition Treaty

who is said to have stabbed to death
William Kaber, wealthy Lakewood
publisher, two years ago, has been
captured in Ripalimozani, Italy, ac-
cording to word received here from
two Cleveland detectives. sAssthere is

Kaber while Gala held the victim.
They were to have been paid $4,000

slain mans widow, who also was con-

BOND MARKET
STRONGER THAN

Stocks Also Show Upward Tend
ency Except Rails-MOney
Market Unstrained

New York, Dec 3.-Transactions in
stocks were unusually large and
broad and the turnover in bonds for
each full session was considerably in
excess of $20,000,000, during the past
weeks stock market sessions.
Prices of stocks tended mainly up
ward with rails as the only prominent
exceptions. Their failure to advance
was attributed to rumors of prospec-
tive financing by many of the larger
systems. Steels and Equipments as
sumed the leadership of the market,
those issues becoming speculative IA
vorites in3 connection with the pro-
posed merger of various independent
producers. The general industrial
list was better although conditions in
many lines of trade continued back

FIGURES USED BY ARMS CONFERENCE in
DISCUSSING PROPOSED WAR SHIP RATIO
Great Britain Given Slight Advantage Because Of Having Older Ships
But Final Result Brings That Nation On Equality With u S.

Washington, Dec 3.--(By the As
sociated Press.)-The Associated
Press today is able to present some
of the official figures involved in the
exchanges between the American and
Japanese experts over the "5-5-3
ratio proposed and the Japanese
claim for a "10-10-7" status.
In submitting their original ques-
tionnaire to the American experts
asking explanation of the Hughes
proposal on seven specific points, the
Japanese officers included this Ques-
ton:
Explain the relation between the
replacement ratio of 50-50-30 and the
existing ratio of "60-50-30' respec-
lively of Great Britain, the United
States and Japan
This was supplemented by the in
quiry:
Explain means by which the exist
ing strength of the British navy has
been calculated as 100000 TONS
In answer the American experts
said:
although Great Britain has not
laid the keels of her four new Hoods
and the Japanese have not laid the
keels of the Takao and the Atago
they have spent money on all. In or
der to be entirely fair, therefore
these ships were included in the lists
of their respective nations with the
consequent increase in their relative
strengths. When this was done, the
tonnage measure of naval strength
between the United States and Japan
was as follows:
UNITED States, 1.11S.65O; Japan
SIS, 800; ratio, United States, 100 pei
cent; Japan, SO per cent"
Asst to the "60-50-30' existing
strength ratio, the American answer
explained: Q
"The war conditions caused Grea
Britain to suspend her building pro
gram. In consequence her ships ars
reitively older in type than those o.
the United States and Japan. This
fact was considered in allotting hel
100000 tons for the present, but thi
fhtahdard allotted her on repIacemen
was 500 900 tons + y. ss1

existing strength, the American eX-
perts said that the basis taken was
keels actually laid down as of Novem-
Ler II, the date of the opening of
the conference. The further expla-
nations given above, however, show
that this was not held rigidly against
Great Britain and Japan in the
American plan, but only against the
United States.
Money spent by Great Britain and
Japan on ships not yet laid down
was figured into the existing strength
of those naves but not into American
existing strength.
The Japanese experts also required
a specific list of the ships of the
United States and Japan on which
the calculation of existing strength
was based, the degree of completion
allowed for each ship building, and
asked whether differences in methods
of figuring tonnage used by the three
nations were allowed for in the cal
culations.
On the basis of these figures and
also using Japanese estimates of
Japanese and American strength as
furnished by the Japanese experts in
memoranda, the American experts
then set out the naval "relativities'
of the two powers in tables as fol-
lows:

MARS SIGNAL, MARCONI HOLDS
tor to Believe Planet oends
Message.

New York, Sept 3.-Wireless waves
10000 meters long, which he believed
might have come from Mars, were
picked up several months ago by
Guglielmo Marconi, wireless telegraph
inventor, during experiments aboard
his yacht Electra in the Mediterra-
mean.
J. @. III. Macbeth, London manager
of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
company, made this ctatement at a
luncheon of the Rotary club.
The maximum wave length produced
in the world today was $4,000 meters,
Mr.. Macbeth said, and the regularity
of the waves detected by Mr.. Marconi
and other experts led them to believe
that they were not electrical disturb
ances, but efforts of Mars to get into
communication with the earth. The
only resemblance of the waves to any
code used on the earth was a SINH
larity to the letter in the interna-
tional code.
