JAPAN STIRRED.
BY SINGAPORE
PROJECT
5ritain's Plan OF Building
Naval Base Causes An
tagonistic Comment
TnternatIonnI Nnwn snrvioe.

TOKYO, Dec. 1O.-Announcemen
that Great Britain intends to build
9 naval base at Singapore, In the
Straits Settlements, is causing con-
siderable Antagonistic comment
throughout Japan, eclipsing even
the intense feeling felt against the
proposed American 1925 battle fleet
maneuvers around Hawaii. The
japanese press is widely discussing
the Singapore base, pointing out
tho possible threat It may hold
against Japanese sovereignty in the
Orient. Official quarters, however,
decline TO comment either on the
Singapore project or the American
fleet rnaneuvers.
In connection with the Singapore
announcement, the foreign office
here denies that Japan intends to
protest to Great Britain against the
proposed base. though 1t Is rumored
that HayaShi, Japanese ambassador
IN London, has been instructed to
make friendly representations TO
Britain outlining Japanese appre-
tensions against the British Far
Eastern naval base project.
Observers hero believe that if
Britain proceeds with the Singapore
base Japan will reopen the entire
question of naval disarmament IL
another limitation conference is pro-
posed.

Cheyenne Kiser's Wife Asks
Custody Of Child Old
Trouble Breaks Out

BALTIMORE. Md Dec. TO-
Cheyenne Kiser.i Of Prescott, AriE..
expert in bulldogging steers and up
on many tricks that would battle q
Charles street cowboy, at Towson
was sued by his wife for partial
divorce. In her bill she refers to
her marriage on July 5, 1922. Mrs.
Kiser claims that her cowboy hus-
band has failed to provide for her.
She asks the legal custody Of their
child.
The bride, a daughter Of Harry
c. Albrecht, attorney, asked for an
nulment q few days after her mar
riage, which was an elopement to
Ellicott City. She was only fifteen
at the time and claimed she had
been coerced by the broncho-bust-
ing lover, whom she had just met.
She was student at Mount De
Sales ct the time.
The annulment plea, however,
was dropped and the pair lived to-
gether until last May. At that
time Kiser went to England to give
q show at Wembley Exposition, and
to upset the most unruly steers in
the British Empire. In one OF his
tits he injured a knee and won
the sympathy Of the Queen Of
Spain, who told him Of her sym.
pathy before the crowd.
