Premier Hamaguchi Meets With
Advisers to Discuss Pros.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, November 14.-Although Off
cial confirmation was unavailable, II
was learned authoritatively today that
Japan's claims for 70 per cent of Amer
lean strength in cruisers carrying g.
inch guns have met with discourag-
ing reception both in London and in
Washington.
Recent diplomatic correspondence
from those capitals has been a closely
guarded secret at the foreign Office, but
this afternoons papers gave prominence
to reports of an Anglo-American ten
dency to reject the Japanese ratio
claims, arousing editorial criticism,
which also appeared to be cropping out
in some offlcial circles.
While it was oficially denied that
they were meeting in connection with
the receipt of unfavorable reports from
Washington and London, it was note
worthy that Premier Hamaguchi, For
eign Minister Shidehara, Kyo Takarabe
of the admiralty and other advisers
we're closeted this afternoon discussing
the prospects Of the London naval con-
ference.
An unconflrmed report which the aft
ernoon papers published was to the ef-
feet that while Great Britain was pre-
pared to agree to Japan's desire for a
20 per cent 8-inch gun cruiser ratio
toward Great Britain, Japan would have
to be content with a so per cent ratio
toward the United States.

ton to Commissions Points
Regarding Valuation.

The board Of directors of the Capital

day by the Public Utilities Commission.
The boards action was taken at q
two-hour meeting at the company's

The directors found as a result that
an application to the courts for finan-
cial relief to be the only recourse, al
though the commission In drawing the
opinion carefully framed 1t to eliminate
grounds on which the company might
base an appeal to the courts to upset
the adverse fare decision.

the conclusion of the meeting, announc-
ing the decision Of the directors to take
the fare case into the courts and point

to negotiate a new merger agreement
that would be acceptable to the COM

Mr.. Hanna'S statement follows:
"The board of directors of the Capt.

company to forthwith appeal to the
