The Elks-Masons indoor sports tournament went into it's fourth year Monday evening at the Masonic club on South Main street. The Masons emerged from the smoke screen lead ing the Elks by score of 10 to o. Whether this evidences the pre-sea- son practice of the Masons and will carry through the series remains to be seen. From the Masons point Of view it portends free supper Tor the first time since the contests were ar ranged. Possibly the Elks think diff ferent'y but they did not attempt to mar the vision of their brothers the other side of the subway thus early in the season.

 Tokyo, Sept. 17 LP)-publication in London Of an authoritative out line ot the present status of the Anglo American cruiser negotiations has focused Japanese attention on the difference in the maXimums for Great Britain and shc United States respectively and the suggested Amer iCan inch gun cruiser strength.
 Responsible officials declined to comment on this point publicly, but it was strongly indicated in high of ticial quarters that Japan considers this the cruX of her limitation prob lem.

 Japan IS likely to insist that the American strength be considered the standard by which Japan's relative strength in s inch gun cruisers would he determined nd also that Japan be allotted 70 per cent in stead ol the present 60 Der cent now prevailing in the battlcship class. If the British maximum of 146,S00 tons were the standard. it would be necessary for Japan to build be- yond her present program. which would give her 10S.40O tons of & | inch gun cruisers before 1882, in cludinS four of the l'urutaca class of 7,1Uo tons each and eight of the Nachi class of 10000 tons each, four Of which have been completed.

 In circles outside Of the navy there is a strong general desire to avoid further cruiser construction because of the present financial strinGcncy and consequently there was disappointment in the cruiser maXimums as outlined in London On tho other hand the Associated Press was reliably informed that naval leaders would gladly accept maNimums permitting Japan to build two of the four cruisers of the projected program made public last month.
