HuBBARDS LOSE BABY
Supreme Court Says They Must Re-
turn Adopted Baby to Its
Mother

A technicality of the law deprives
Mr.. aud AIRS. Edgar E. Iuohstd Of
Shoshone of child adopted from
Laura vaughn and restores the baby
Which is now more than 1 year old
to its mother, according t. a recent
supreme court decision.
According to the record of the ,ast,
which was appealed by the TTuboards,
tile Vaushn girl consented, rather re-
luctantly, to the adoption of tn. child
put the strict letter of the laN we.s not
COMPLIED with in carrying ,1t the
4 cption proceedings The ssirrs
mother when first informed of the
child. said it could not come into her
hr iss and sdvised her daurhter to a.
low it to lie adopted.
When the baby was a year oil she
had a chal ge of heart and much de-
snrd to have her daughters child
lhe Iubbsrds, having become at
tached tc the baby, refused TO give 1t
UP ;ni a. action was brought in the
dis)ift ccart to set aside the order OIL
adoption.
An examination of the proceedings
disclosed that under the law Laura
Vaugrhn should have appeared be-
fore the probate judge and given her
consent to the adoption instead of
giving the consent in writing which
she did. On this ground the district
court set aside the adoption order and
the supreme court affirmed this action.
The baby was born in Shoshone.
March II, 1922 Laura Vaughn,
whose residence was Malad, had been
living in Shoshone since October IT,
1921, She and her baby went to live
with the Hubbards about two weeks
after the baby was born. April II,
she went home to Malad but left the
baby with the Hubbards but before
leaving executed her consent TO adop-
ion and left it with Senator Frank
r. Disney, who recently died. IN June

cided to hold next years session at the

en- a position against elevation of the
guns.
Most of the democrats present voted
against the amendment, bringing its de-
feat.
Britten Votes Against Bill
When final vote was taken, Britten
voted against the bill, though he has
been a champion of increasing the size
of the navy. He was keenly dissatis-
fled with the defeat of his amendment
for elevating the guns. The major OPP
position to the bill throughout the fight
came from democrats and insurgent re-
publicans.
Britten made n last-minute attempt to
hold up the bill by sending it back to
committee. He made the motion stimuli
taneously with McClintic of oklaho-
ma, democrat, an opponent of the meas
ure, who was recognized. The motion
was beaten, III to IA.
McClintic's effort to strike out the
section providing for the cruisers was
defeated, lip to 81. A motion by Nc
KeOwn of Oklahoma, democrat, to strike
out the provision for the river gun
boats was defeated also, 119 to 81.
The amendment authorizing the Presi-
dent to suspend the building program
provided by the bill, in the event of
another conference resulting in a limita-
ton treaty, was presented by Repre-
sentative Montague of Virginia, demo-
crat. 1t was adopted without a roll
call.
An amendment providing for con-
struction in government shipyards was
adopted.
Throughout the debate emphasis was
laid upon the necessity of the United
States having n navy equal to the
treaty ratio, and it was argued by
Representative VinsOn of Georgia, rank
ing democrat on the naval affairs com
mittee that the United States must have
a strong navy to exert an influence in
a future limitation conference.
Opponents of the measure argued on
the grounds that il would start com
petition in ornaments, that it was not
,befitting this country to increase its
ornaments in the face of peaceful aims,
and that it was an unnecessary expendi-

TOKYO PROTEST
IS FORWARDED

of statutory exclusion meet with no
favor at the state department at this
time. The feeling in Congress makes
such course impractical. Later, it
may be possible to work out some
harmonious plan. But for the present,
exclusion will be by law and not by
voluntary agreement.
Protest Was Expected
The protest from Toxic which is
now on the way here has been ex-
pected by the administration. Secretary
of State Hughes is thoroughly familiar
with the japanese position and for
that reason was especially active in
trying to prevent the exclusion law
from being enacted. But his efforts
failed and his only recourse now will
be to dispatch reply to the japanese
note which will explain the situation
in a friendly way designed to remove
pangs of wounded pride.
Ambassador Hanihara is to return to
Toxic in the near future. His retire
ment as ambassador to the United
States has been expected ever since his
now famous grave consequences note
to Secretary Hughes became public. 1t
was this note which gave the exclu-
sionists in Congress enough strength
to defy the hardest compromise efforts
of Coolidge and Hughes.
Administration officials are fully
cognizant of the domestic situation
which the Japanese government must
deal with as a result of. the exclusion
law and they will consider the new
note from Toxic with that in mind.
No Treaty Rights Violated
This government does not believe any
treaty rights have been violated by the
law and considers the japanese immi-
grafton problem entirely as one of
domestic policy so far as the United
States is concerned 1t also realizes
that domestic politics in, Japan have
to be considered by the Japanses gov
eminent and there is every disposition
here to be considerate of the Toxic
governments position. American Of
fieials regard the Japanese note as hav-
ing been prepared primarily. for con-
sumption over there They will make
a courteous and friendly reply, but no
change in the policy of exclusion can
be expected.
The note has been cabIed from Toxic,
according to press dispatches from
there, but it has not arrived at the
Japanese embassy. 1t may not be for
mally presented to the state depart
ment for several days, as some time
will be spent in DECIDING and tran
scribing the text.

COMMONS TALK SUPPRESSED
Macdonald Hats Discussion OF Amer
lean Plans

lean Plans
LONDON, May 2S.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. British interest in the
proposals for improving the American
navy came to the surface in the house
of commons this afternoon but. when
the discussion warmed up to a point
whom mention was made of ''the naval
competition between Great Britain and
the United States, the speaker declin-
ed further talk on the subject by say
ing it was not the proper time to de-
bate it.
William Wedgewood Benn, liberal,
asked Premier Macdonald whether, in
fact, it did not appear that the naval
competition between the two countries
was proceeding. In reply the prime
minister said:
Il do not think it is a fact. If I
had any evidence that it were SO 1
would take steps at once to try to
avoid it
Mr.. Benn then asked if Representa-
tive Thomas S. Butler of Pennsylva-
ma had not alleged before the Congress
sional naval committee in connection
with his declaration that it was neces-
sary to spend $150,OO0,OOO including
the construction o feight cruisers, in
order to bring up the American navy
to equal strength with the British
navy, that the American naval forces
were inferior.
Mr.. Macdonald said that he had
heard such speeches in the House of
Commons and had read such speeches
which had been delivered before Con-
gress.
Commander Joseph NJ. Kenworthy
then asked rs there not all the more
reason why we should take steps?"
1t was at this point that the sneak
er interviewed and declared that the time
was not propitious for a debate on the
question.
