JAPAN BUILDS EIGHT
 CRUISERS, IRE MOST
 POWERFUL IN WORLD
By GLEN BABE GA. p. Correspondentj

TOKYO, Jan. 23.-Last of the eight 1O,000-ton cruisers called for by the Japanese navy's current building programs, the Maya, is now under construction in the big Kakasaki dockyard at Kobe
 A dczen Shinto priests, in white robes and carrying branches of the sacred @sakaki7 tree, emblerl of sacr9neatal purity, recently pc formed the simple purification rites accompanying the laying of her keel, designed to ward off evil Influences and beseech the blessing and protection of the national gods for this instrument of empire.
 These rites of an ancient cult seem a little out of harmony with the modernity of the Maya and her sisters, but they help ensure the human morale that must make these machines effective.
 The Naehi, whose details are to be followed in all her sisters, has speed of B knots, a designed horsepower of 130,000 and carries 10 eight-inch guns. She is believed to embody many new features of naval design, but these are a well guarded secret. The glimpse ob- | fo; of at hn Vnlynh a a. val review showed long, low lines drawn for speed She carries a fighting top more like that of a battleship than of a light cruiser; turrets for her eight-inch guns show fore and aft; her whole as pect is formidable. She has a crew of TOO men.
 On Trial Trips
 The Nachi is to be joined in commission within a few weeks by her next sister, the Myoko, now undergoing her trials off the Yoko- suka naval base, where she was built.
 The Haguro and Ashigara, from the private dockyards of Mitsubi- shi at Nagasaki and Kawasaki at Kobe, respectively, were launched last spring and should reach com pletion about the end of 1929. Next come the Atago and Takao, still on the ways at the naval arsenals of Kure and Yokosuka and due for launching this year The chokal was laid down at Nagasaki last April and now the Kawasaki build CTS have the Maya in hand. Cruiser Pronrcs; On the best authority it is learn ed that this eight-cruiser program is the only one now contemplated by the navy department. It still has three years to run, as it VIII not be completed until early in 1892. At the time the American House of Representatives pas ga the 15-cruiser bill a year ago Ad- miral Keisuke Okada, minister or { the navy. said Japan had no inien- ton of framing reply program. /, The budget for 1929-S0 contains no appropriations for any naval construction except the program already in hand.
 The official Japanese position Is 1, that the Nachi class are merely replacements for old cruisers now i becoming obsolete and are neces- sary to maintain the balance or i the navy as an instrument Of nm perial defense.

DOUBT WIFE'S
DEATH STORY
Seek to Pin Charge of Muir
dering '0Id Crab Mate
on Woman.
BH United Press

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, April.27.-
Past life of Hartford telephone
operator who married a wealthy but
eccentric scion of a substantial New
England family was under scrutiny
today as investigation of the death
of her husband, Oliver Beardslee,
who she says was an "old crab, y
was continued.
The part men played in the life
of Gladys Foster, who became Mrs.
BeardsIee for the admitted purpose
Of sharing 100000 legacy he re-
CeiVed three years ago, was getting
particular attention from state
prosecutors who sought evidence
which they believed would help to
pin charge of murder upon her.
The investigation was undertaken
on the basis of the testimony
Thursday of H. Lebanon Peters,
medical examiner, who appeared at
a coroner's inquest and declared
Beardslee could not possibly have
shot himself, as the young and at
tractive widow claims.
Lorin w. Willis, states attorney,
is conducting his case without effort
to conceal his feeling that a crime
was involved.
To Direct Evidence
He admits, however, that he has
no direct evidence against the au-
burn haired Mrs. Beardslee, who
has shown little concern over the
frank disbelief of her story that
Beardslee killed himself while they
we're alone together after a violent
quarrel and an evening Of drinking.
Mrs. Beardsiee'S relations to men
we're brought into the investigation
by the widow herself when she said
that Beardslee, who became known
as q, woman hater when he an
nounced he would never vote again
if women we're given the franchise,
was insanely jealous and had &C
cused her of seeking the compan-
ionship of other men in preference
to his own.
James Crico, who has been ar
rected three times for bootlegging
was called upon to tell how he s
the Beardslees a pint Of liquor 4e
night before Beardslee's death. Mrs.
Beardslee said her husband had
quareled with her over Curcio.
Seek Boyhood Friend
1t was learned that an effort was
underway to locate George K. Will
son, a boyhood friend Of BeardSlee,
who introduced Beardslee to Gladys
Foster.
Wilson was said to have infiu-
enced Miss Foster to leave Hartford
and take up residence at the STRAIT
ford hotel. They we're in each
others company frequently and
Wilson dropped from sight after
Beardslee's marriage.

If the Governor refuses
clemency the decision Of Judge
Van Buskirk Will be appealed
to the supreme court of In
diana in the hope to gain new
trial for Daisy, her attorneys
said here today.
Judge Van Buskirk's decision, aft
ter a weeks harangue on the part
of states attorneys against stories
printed by The Times about Daisy's
case, came despite the inability OF
the prosecution to prove conclusively
that the signature on the $3.50 check
was that Of Daisy Sullivan.
Trips Up on Checks
Defense attorneys near the close
Of the hearing Friday succeeded in
obtaining an identification of check
written by them as DaiSy's hand
writing from H. L. Doney, hand
writing expert for the state.
H. l.. Ridenour, one of Daisy's at
torneys, wrote a check similar to
the one which the state says Daisy
forged to get 20 cents worth of
fruit. He presented the check for
Doney's expert testimony and the
check was identified by Doney as
written by Daisy.
Judge Van Buskirk, in denying
the writ of error, coram nobis,
said: III recommend a pardon for
her now, providing Daisy promises
to remain in Marion county and
welfare organizations there find a
suitable home for her. But If she
is to return to Greene county she
will do so over by protest"
Numerous Attacks on Times
In the closing arguments by Wn-
liam Voslch, special counsel for the
state, Friday, numerous verbal at
tackS were made on the Indianap-
oils Times and Boyd Burley, its edi~
tor, for the interest displayed in ths
hilI-chnd's plight
Should Governor Leslie consider
pardoning Daisy second hearing
before the state board of pardons
may be held to consider the girls
case. At a hearing held early this
month the pardon board denied the
girl clemency and Governor Leshs
accepted the boards report.

tornado in the states recent history,

above S1,000,000.
Two distinct tornadoes we're re-

TRIES TOHALT
GAS TRANSFER
Trustees Will Consider
Brokers Demand at
Meeting Today.

Citizens Gas Company trustees
and directors were to meet in spe-
cial session at II a. m. today at the
gas company Office to consider the
formal demand of Newton 1. TODD,
broker, that the gas officials rescind
their action preliminary to turning
ovevr the properties to the city.
Henry H. Hornbrook, a director,
and William H. Thompson, attor-
neys for the CAST company, called
the special conference to take up
the Todd movev to block the turn
ing over of the property to the city
in accordance with the 1905 agree
ment.
ToddS formal demand which was
served on the gas company Friday
was the first open step to block the
city administration from enforcing
it's option on the utility as intended
in the city's franchise.
The formal demand on the COM
pany is considered a preliminary
step to a suit in federal court to
restrain the gas officials from car
rying out the plan for municipal
operation and control.
1t is not known what steps were
considered by the attorneys for the
gas company. The entire proceed
ings to turn the property over to
the city we're designed to force the
persons opposed to municipal own
ership to file the suit to restrain
them rather tnan for the city to
bring suit to obtain possession.
John w Hoffman, mayor when
the gas franchise was granted, and
Fred C. Cause, city gas counsel,
and Oren S. Hack city corporation
counsel, will confer next week on
the Todd demand.
Hoffman expressed surprise over
Todd's statement that he desired to
save the citizens from disastrous
and dangerous experiment" The
former mayor took exception to
Todd's inference that the city's
plan to enforce its option on the
properties is a hazardous business
venture"
Todd's statement declared he
owned $50 certificates Of stock and
represented other certificate hold
ers. He is known to have repre-
sented interests owning 10000 GER
tificates at one time.
