RUSSIANS HAVE HORSE
 RACES DESPITE SNOW

MOSCOW, May 6. (P--Neither ice nor snow nor wintry blasts deters the Russian horse race "fan" from indulg- ing his love for the sport nor the State owned stables from staging tri-weekly contests throughout the winter in Moscow.
 The all-year events are confined to trotting races and attract blooded and pedigreed animals. For horses har- messed to the familiar pneumatic-tired American racing sulky and shod with heavy calks the icy tracks appear to offer little impeachment to speedy go- ing.

LEGISLATIVE CREST
(Juneau Empire)

The Senate indefinitely postponed l the House measure which provided for popular election of Territorial Treas urer. At the same time it advanced on it's calendar a bill introduced by Senators Howard and Dunn which also provides for election of the Treasurer
 but which is said to be somewhat diff ferent in substance from the House
 bill which was taken from the pro-
 visions of the original Comptroller bill.
 At it's afternoon session the Senate killed one House and one Senate bill, and passed two House bills and Sen- ate resolution, following up with pass ing three House bills, defeated a fourh and passed a House memorial
 The two House measures defeated were: Murray's bill authorizing cu- mulative voting of banking stock, and Grier's bill authorizing payment of telegraphic communication and trans portation expenses out of relief of Restitution funds, where such was ne- cessary in handling applications for admission to the Pioneers Home Senator Hunts bill to license the prac- tice of optometry was also killed
 The Senate passed a House bill au- thorizing creation of small debts courts in municipalities, second measure amending the primary cleo tion laws, one authorizing the Secre- tary of the Territory to deposit in the Treasury receipts from registration of reindeer brands, and House memorial No. 15, asking Congress to permit the Legislature to pass legislation regu- lating boxing matches in Alaska.
 Other measures passed were: al bill to refund s2O0 overpayment of tax es to Libby, McNeill & Libby, simi- lar refund to the Brindle Trap com pany of Ketchikan, and bill author izing two new game stocking projects under the act of the 1925 Legislature.

TRADE GROUPS RAP
RISING TAX BURDEN
Committee Protest Calls on
Federal Government to

Deeply concerned over the danger to
the financial stability of Washington
growing out of the increasing tax bur-
den which is being assessed against
District property holders, joint com
mittee of representatives of the three
trade bodies of the city, meeting in
special session yesterday afternoon,

more than $165 and to cut the esti

tional Capital during that year to al
least 3,500,000.

set at $40 per 500 assessed value
which is a cut of 10 cents from the
rate of the current year, and thus the
recommendation of the three trade
bodies for the fiscal year 1928-29 would
be a further reduction in the rate OF
5 cents. This rate, the business or

The conference, held at the sixth

DESTROYER LIMIT FIXED.
Accord Believed Near on Ratio Be
tween Three Powers.

GENEVA, Switzerland. June 80 Cp).
An agreement to limit the maximum
size of destroyers was reached today
at meeting of the naval experts OF
the tripartite conference. The experts
also discussed the question of ratio
in the number of destroyers as be-
tween the United States, Great Britain
and Japan.
1t is understood that an accord was
virtually reached on the ratio of de.
stroyers, but the experts today de-
clined to announce the ratio figures.
The maximum tonnage Of destroy
ers is understood to have been fixed
at 1,500 tons, a line of demarcation
being drawn between destroyers and
destroyer leaders.
The official communique given out
this afternoon, confined itself to say
ing that a provisional agreement
was reached as to the characteristics
of destroyers and destroyer leaders
for future construction.
The communique also added that
the question of submarines will be
discussed tomorrow.
Success Chances Increased.
The statement of w. C. Bridgeman.
head of the British delegation, to the
Tripartite. Naval Conference, made
exclusively to the Associated Press
yesterday, making clear that Great
Britain does not seek naval supremacy
over the United States and has no In
tention of withholding parity between
Great Britain and the United States

dominating topic OF, discussion in con.

Great Britain's full acceptance of

officially conveyed to Ambassador
Gibson, head of the American dele
CATION at the Geneva Naval Confer
ence, by w. c. Bridgeman, British
first lord of the admiralty, and Lord
Robert Cecil, Secretary Kellogg was
informed today by Mr.. Gibson.
The Ambassador reported that the
British spokesmen' assured him that
there was no doubt in their minds
or in that of the British government
of Americas right to parity in all
classes of ships and that all negotia-
tions should be conducted on that
basis.
Brideeman and Cecil said they de-
sired to clear up an apparent mis-
understanding of the British atti-
tude.
Leaders Here Hopeful.
Prospects, of a successful outcome OF
tha Geneva negotiations appeared
greater enhanced to State Department
officials with the announcement oy
Great Britain -
This development. coupled with In
dications that the British delegation
is realizing the futility OF attempting
to reopen Washington treaty proyi.
sions led department officials to hope
that final agreement upon auxiliary
craft limitation is becoming a matter
of time and patient discussion.
Bridgeman's suggestion that present
capital ship disparity in favor or
Great Britain, due to the recent
launching Of the Nelson and Romneys
superbattleships of $1,000 tons each,
might be corrected by suitable re-
placement arrangements apparently
was favorably received in official cir
cles here. 1t was added, however,
that this attitude was not to be in.
terpreted to mean that the United
States would be willing to discuss cap.
ital ship matters at the Geneva con-
ference, but merely that the validity
of such an argument for the 1881
conference, when the 1922 treaties
will be re-examined by all the sigma
tories, was respected.
State Department officials pointed
out that little headway had been made
by the technical committee toward
reaching an agreement on total cruis-
er tonnage. The United States Is not
inclined to agree to a total cruiser ton
mage greatly in excess of the 100000
tons it has proposed. British expec-
tations are reported to exceed this
total considerably.
