HUNGER STRIKE SECUTED.
Prison Officials Ascribe Fast to
Recent Hot Weather.

BOSTON. July 10 OP.-The volun-
tary abstinence from food of Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo VanZetti today
entered its third day with State
prison officials still inclined to attrib-
ute their fast to hot weather rather
than to admit the condemned men
were actually on hunger strike.
Vanzetti continues to sip coffee and
to refuse other food, while Sacco has
declined everything. Both men, how
ever, have running water in their
cells.
DR.. Edmund V. Wilson, assistant
superintendent of the City Hospital,
said that if the men drink no water
they could not live longer than 10
days. Their seven years imprison-
ment since their arrest in 1920 for
the Staying of a paymaster and guard,
and their continued Incarceration
throughout the fight which has been
waged to overturn the verdict of the
trial jury, has greatly weakened
them, he believed.
Former Fast Broken.
The question of forcible feeding has
not yet been considered by Warden
Hendry. but he has been given full
authority by Sanford Bates, State
commissioner of corrections, to deal
with any situation that may arise.
In 1928. while awaiting disposition
of motions for new trial, Sacco con.
Quoted a hunger strike for more than
a month. but desisted after being
forcibly fed.
Gov. Alvan T. Fuller and his spe.
clal advisory committee are pushing
their review of the celebrated case.
The committee had before it today
a request from William G. Thompson,
counsel for defense, for complete
stenographic copy Of all testimony it
had heard.
Sacco and Vanzetti exhausted their
last recourse to the State courts when
the Supreme Court recently refused
their latest petition for retrial, and
hope now rests in Gov. Fuller and
his counsel. Execution, originally
set for the week of July 10, has been
postponed by the governor until the
week of August 10.

NAVAL PACT BASIS
HELD BLOW TOU. S.
Tentative Agreement Would
Give Britain 8-Year Start
on Requirements.
BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN.

The provisional agreement between
the British and the Japanese at the
Geneva three-power naval conference,
by which the United States and Great
Britain each is to have a total tom
mage Of 1000 tons in cruisers and
destroyers, and an additional $4,000
tons of cruisers in a special reserve
or obsolete class. is regarded here as
unfair to the United States.
On the surface, the 100000 total
tonnage for cruisers and destroyers
approximates the original proposal of
the American delegation. AS such it
should be satisfactory. The Americans
proposed that the cruiser tonnage for
the United States and Great Britain
should be from 100000 to 100000 tons,
and the destroyer tonnage should be
200. 900 to 250,000 tons.
But the proposal now put for
ward in the British-Japanes tentative
agreement provides that in addition
to the 100000 tons of cruisers per-
mitted the United States and Great
Britain, each Of these countries would
be allowed an additional $4,000 tons
of cruisers over the proposed 16-year
age limit.
British Benefits Seen.
The British would benefit greatly by
any such arrangement. All of her
cruisers have been completed since
1911. They are fast and fairly modern.
They have considerable life" remain
ing. The United States, on the other
hand. outside of the 7,500.ton cruisers,
of which the number is limited, has
only old and slow cruisers, which are
now obsolete, built between the years
1894 and 1908.
The British, it is found on exami-
nation of the records, could transfer
seven cruisers of the Champion class
completed in 1915 to this special addi-
tional class in 1881 and could at once
lay down a replacement program Tor
the so.called active navy. But these
vessels of the Champion class would
still be Of value from military port
of view. In the year 1882, the British
could similarly transfer six vessels OF
the Concord class, completed in 1916,
TO this special class and lay down new
tonnage. In successive years, the Brit
ish could transfer many OF their cruis-
ers and lay down new building up an
efficient reserve class.
Old L. S. Cruisers Obsolete.
The United States, on the other
hand, having no cruisers correspond
ing to the classes of British ships,
to which reference has been made,
would be in the position of retaining
125, 900 tons of old and obsolete
