LESS THAN SIZE
TREATY PLANS
Authentic Figures Show Re-
duction in Strength Puts Us
Far Behind England.
BY International New. Service.

Before a treaty has been ratified,
or a naval reduction made. the
American navy today is already be-
low the 5.5-3 ratio fixed by the
arms conference, according to fig
ures from authentic naval sources.
On the basis of this information
the British navy is Overwhelmingly
ahead, while in some respects the
Japanese are superior instead or
inferior in naval strength.
The actual ratio today is APP
proximately 1875. with Great Brit
ain leading and the United States
second. This ratio is reached by
discarding the four 12-inch gun
ships which are included in the
American lineup. and which ar"
declared by naval officers to be
absolete. The situation provided
by the treaty in actual naval terms
is this:
The United States has eighteen
capital ships to Great Britain's
twenty. Included in the eighteen
are the four 12-inch gun class, al.
ready obsolete. In place OF these
latter. the British lineup includes
three battle cruisers Of Is and It,
inch guns. and one of 1876 or IA
inch weapons. The latter are the
lightest guns OF the British. and
under the treaty four OF them must
be scrapped; in their place Britain
is permitted to build two new ships
OF IS 900 tons each. carrying 16-inch
guns. 1t will be 1891 before the
United States is due to build two
ships of this size. in the meantime,
her four 12-inch gun class are
counted in the eighteen capital
ships allowed under the treaty.
Already the English have twelve
15-inCh and 16-inch gun ships. and
Japan two.

CHARGE Of b|GAMY
AGAINST FLAPPERS'
IDOL IS DISMISSED
tRepublican A. P. Leased wirel

LOS ANGELES. June 5-Whether
the charge of bigamy against Rodolph
Valentino film actor, dismissed today
in the township court here. will be
taken before the Los Angeles county
grand jury was still under considera- :
ton early tonight. District Attorney
Thomas Lee Woolwine said. The Of
fetal indicated that he was disposed
to accept the ruling of Justice of the
Peace ]. Walter Handy to the effect
that there was slight chance of con-
victing Valentino before a jury as
final. However, Mr.. Woolwine added
he wanted time to go over the evi-
dence carefully before announcing
a decision.
Justice Hanbys decision was that
while there was no denial of the
charge that Valentino married Miss
Winifred Hudnut in Mccall. Lower
California, while he still was legally
married TO Miss Jean Acker there was
insufficient evidence he lived with
Mrs. Valentino No. in California
subsequent to the Mexicali ceremony
The California code provides that in
case of an alleged bigamous marriage
outside the state, proof of marital re-
lations within the state following
such marriage must be adduced in
order to sustain the charge. Evidence
in Justice Hanby's court was that
Valentino and his second bride re-
turned to California and passed two
days in a cottage at Palm Springs. a
desert resort in Riverside county, oc-
cupying separate rooms.
Mr.. Woolwine said he had under
consideration the prosecution of sew
he rri n
in Mexico and had returned to Cali
fornia to live before they had been
granted their final DEGREES of divorce
from their first spouses. They said
that in these cases. the circumstances
which caused Justice Handy to dis
miss the Valentino complaint did not
exist. Valentino. through his attor-
neys issued a statement in which he
said he was immensely happy with
the outcome of the proceedings.
Through ignorance of the law
the statement continued, Il married
Miss Hudnut not dreaming I was
breaking or violating any California
laws. Nevertheless I do realize now
my lack of knowledge of the Califor-
MIA laws and like any other law abid-
ing citizen, would not under any con-
ditions assume marital relationship
with the present Mrs. Valentino until
the time fixed by law shall have ex-
pired upon which We will be married
again here in Los Angeles"
He said he had invited Mr.. WOOL
wine and Deputy District Attorney
Costello who conducted the case be-
fore Justice Handy. to attend the
wedding next year. In closing he
said:
"There is a tear of regret because
of the enforced absence of the woman
who has been my inspiration and
counsellor in my art"

SECRETARY HOOVER
IS TOLD PRICE Of
COAL WILL ADVANCE

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Retail
prices of bituminous coal "will rise"
as much as s1.75 ton because of the
advance in the price of coal at the
mines under the agreements reached
last week with bituminous operators
in the producing fields, Secretary
Hoover was informed today by Rod
eric Stephens. of New York, chair
man of the board of directors of the
National Retail Coal Merchants as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Hoover met with about As
members of the association to discuss
the cooperation of the retailers in
the commerce departments efforts to
prevent runaway coal prices during
the strike, but the conference de-
veloped principally into a colloquy
between Mr.. stephens and Mr..
Hoover over probable increase in the
price of coal to the householder. The
voluntary cooperation of the asso-
citation to prevent undue price ad-
vances was pledged by Mr.. stephens.
Establishment of maximum of
$3.50 a ton for coal at the mines MIR.
Stephens contended. will mean an in
crease of $1.15 a ton in the retail
price in Maine and the northwest
while immediate advances could be
expected in New York and Chicago,
The necessity for advancing the re-
tail prices he said was due to the
prices fixed by the operators and
long transportation now necessary
from the non union fields. Arrange
ments fixing fair prices with the OPP
orators, however, he added. had mod
ified rises in the retail prices which
might have reached even higher
levels.
Mr. Hoover declared that he simply
would not stand for retailers blaming
the increases on the fair prices fixed
with the operators, asserting that the
wholesale price of coal had been re-
duced considerably and that those
who had coal under contract were
under a moral obligation to pass the
benefits OF the fair prices on to the
public.
Mr.. stephens offered to cooperate
With any committees set up by the
department to handle the coal price
situation, but Mr.. Hoover declared
that no organization was being es-
tablished to control the coal industry
of the country. there being no legal
standing for such action, and that
only moral cooperation was being
relied upon.
Mr. Hoover pointed out that the
consuming public must pay reason
able handling charge for its coal
above the cost of the fuel asserting
that present demand for coal was not
heavy, there being more coal in the
market than needed and that there
was no tendency of prices to harden.
