PROPOSAL HELD EXCESSIVE.
Officials Here, However Await Com.
ment From Gibson.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Japanese proposal at Geneva for
a provisional cruiser agreement to
last until 1881 apparently involves q
total cruiser tonnage for Great
Britain and the United States that
Washington authorities regard as far
in excess of the needs Of those two
countries.
The proposals were cabled to the
State Department today by Ambassa-
dor Gibson, but comments of the AM
baSSador and his naval colleagues still
were lacking. Until the Japanese plan
is more clearly understood, it Is doubt
full that any expression of opinion
will be transmitted to Gibson.
In view of the nature of the sugges.
ton and of the necessity for technical
study of it's terms and their effect upon
the cruiser problem Of each nation,
Washington officials doubt that it will
be possible for a plenary session of
the conference to be held on Thursday.
On it's face the Japanese proposal
appeared to provide for a British tom
mage in cruisers up to 1881 of more
than the Washington Government has
indicated it believes necessary. The
exact form of the japanese proposal
may affect that figure considerably,
however.
The British Ambassador, Sir Esme
Howard, was again at the State De-
partment today, where it was said Sec
retary Kellogg had asked him to call.
His visit came after the Japanese pro-
posalS had been received from Ambas-
sador Gibson, but there was no infor-
nation forthcoming as to the extent
to which this suggestion figures in
the conference.

Il. SCHULzE DIES
IN 1,0D(EFOOT LEAP
Officer Who Was Here With

Plane Takes Fire.

By the Associated Press.
MT. CLEMENS. Mich, August g.
Leaping from his burning airplane at
the height Of 1000 feet, Lieut.. Leclair
D. Schulze, member Of the First Pur-
suit Group at Selfridge Field, was
killed today when his parachute did
not open.
Schulze's home was in Los An.
geles. Observers on the field saw his
plane, in which he was testing new
engine. burst into flames. A moment
later Schulze was seen to leap from
the plane and hurtle toward the earth.
When officers from the field reached
his body they found that the rip cord
on the parachute had not been pulled.
An examination revealed that the
parachute was not defective, leading
the officers to believe that Schulze
lost consciousness after swinging
away from the plane.
Succeeded Lieut.. johnson.
The plane crashed to earth near
where Schulze'S body was found and
was destroyed by fire. The destruc-
ton of the plane prevented determin-
ing the cause of the blaze.
Lieut.. SchulZe, who was 36 years
old and unmarried, was commanding
officer of the 9th Squadron, succeed.
ing Lieut.. J. Thad Johnson, who was
killed last month at Ottawa while lead
ing a fight of escort planes with Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh.
During the World War Schulze, who
was test pilot at the United States
overseas base at Issoudon. France,
was recommended for the distin-
guished service medal.
Coming to Selfridge Field in 1920,
he served for a time as adjutant Of

President Pays
High Tribute to
Walter johnson

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
RAPID CITY, S. Dak., August
2.-President Coolidge paid a high
tribute to Walter Johnson, the vet.
eran pitcher of the Washington
ball club, on the occasion of John
son completing 20 years at that
one club.
II think Walter johnson stands
out as fine character, es-
pecially in the athletic world. I
place that above everything else
not only in athletics but in every.
thing else in the world.
I'm addition, Walter Johnson is
recognized as one of the foremost
ball pitchers in his time. do not
suppose all the youth Of America
would care to be big league ball
players, but I know they all would
profit if the character of Walter
johnson was emulated by then."
