18-CRU|SER TOTAL
BY 1885 PLANNED
Program Under Pact Calls for
Work on Seven Within
Three Years.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration plans under the Lon
don naval agreement call for resumed
or continued work during the next
three years on seven additional 8-inch
gun cruisers.
Three additional ships of that class,
bringing the American big cruiser fleet
up to total of 18 ships, will not be
laid down until 1888, 1884 and 1885,
respectively.
This outline of administration policy
and the Interpretation given to the Lon
don stipulationS has been announced
authoritatively. 1t represents the lay
ing down of two additional keels, those
of the c. L. 81 and c. L. 80, at an early
date as well as continued work on five
other big cruisers.
Progress of Work.
These five ships are to be built at
the following yards: C. L. 80 at New
York navy yard, rated as only 1.6 per
cent complete on March /; c. L. 33 by
the Bethlehem Steel Co. at Fore River,
Mass, 10 per cent complete March l.;
G. L. 81 at Bremerton, Wash, navy
yard, no work reported March l; G. l..
IS, New Shipbuilding Co., at Camden
N. j., as per cent complete March /,
and G. L. SO, at the Philadelphia navy
yard, no work reported March /.
The other five big cruisers destined
to be built Under the London agreement,
c. L. 81 to Al, inclusive, have never
been assigned to yards. President
HooYer's executive order suspended.
work on the @. L. "a, 36 and 80 when
the first proposals for the London Con-
ference were made. It is assumed work
on these win be resumed Immediately.
Plan Under Optional Clause.
Under the administration interpreta-
ton of the London agreement, the three
cruisers to be built by exercise OF the
optional clause raising the total American
strength in this class from is to 10
ships, will not have been completed
when the new Naval Conference, also
provided for at London, is assembled in
1886.
No information has yet been made
available as to administration plans for
exercising the right to build some TO-
900 tons, in 6-inch-gun cruisers includ-
ed in the London agreement. What will
be done in that regard in the event of
ratification of the London treaty Is a
matter for Congress, which alone can
authorize construction. Congressional
authorization already has been voted for
all of the 8-inch cruisers contemplated.

Allows Increase in NaVieS of
Either America, Japan
or Great Britain.
IDEA OF CONSULTATION
ABANDONED ALTOGETHER
Pact to Be Ready for Signing Tues
day if Governments Approve
1t by That Time.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 19.-The safe
guarding" clause of the naval treaty
being drawn up here, which the naval
delegates themselves have kept rigorous
Iy secret until after final approval of
the home government, was revealed to-
day in dispatches from Toxic.
The clause provides for an increase
in the navies of either Japan, America
or Great Britain-the three signatories
to the projected limitation treaty-if
the building programs of n-signatory
nations are considered excessive.
The clause reads:
IF, during the term of the present
treaty, requirements of national secur-
ity of any of the high contracting
parties in respect to vessels of war
limited by part three of the present
treaty are, in the opinion of that party.
affected by new construction of any
power other than those joining in part
three of this treaty. that high contract
ing party will notify the other parties
to part three as to the increase required
to be made in its own tonnageS, specify
ing the proposed increase and the rea-
sons therefor.
Consultative Idea Out.
1.-The other parties to part three of
this treaty shall be entitled to make a
proportionate increase in the category
or categories specified
The part three of the treaty men,
toned is that which contains what
generally is regarded as the real ac-
complishment of the conference.-the
limitation pact by which the navies of
Japan, the United States and Great
Britain are to be limited. The safe
guarding clause ~is the last provision IN
this part three. France and italy
neither win be signatory to it,
Conference observers noted that In
the safeguarding clause the consultative
idea Is omitted altogether For a ma
ton which considers its position en-
dangered by the building program of
another to abrogate the figures of the
treaty 1t will be necessary only to notify
the other two nations, which would be
allowed proportionate increases in the
same categories.
Draft Being Polished OF.
While the situation generally fore
seen here in which the safeguarding
or "escalator" clause, as it is also
called, might be brought into play IN
wolves Great Britain and France and
Italy, the clause refers equally to Japan
or the United States. General opinion
was that those two nations would be
less likely to find it necessary to in
woke its provisions.
The draft treaty is being polished off
and will be ready for the signing at
Tuesdays plenary session if the ap-
prevail of the governments is obtained
by that time. Prime Minister Mac
donald, Dino Grand of Italy and Arts
tide BRAND, French foreign minister,
are expected to return here Monday in

PARKER IS WILLING
T0ATTEND HEARING
Supreme Court Nominee Tells
Senator He win Appear Be-
fore Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Judge John j. Parker of North Caro-.
lima today informed Senator Overman
Democrat, of North Carolina that hi
would be glad to come before the Sen.
ate judiciary committee to answer pro.
tests against his nomination as an asso.
ciate justice of the Supreme Court.
Senator Overman, at the request Of
the Republican leaders, has said hi
would ask the judiciary committee to in
vite Judge Parker here.
The committee will meet Monday ano
1t is likely that the nominee will be
asked to appear at the meeting a week
later.
Protests by colored associations
against a speech attributed to Judge
Parker in 1920 is causing the Republican
leadership some concern.
1t has been decided to have the Judge
here to discuss that point in particular
Willing to Appear.
The telegram of Judge Parker stating
his Willingness to appear before the
committee was sent voluntarily by him
Friends of the nominee here asserted
today there was no likelihood whatever
OF the judge asking that his nomination
be Withdrawn.
Senator Fess, Republican Ohio, made
pubic a letter he wrote to Alexander
H. Martin of Cleveland, replying to a
protest against Parker because of re-
marks attributed to him relative to col
ored people.
i am especially interested in what
you say about the confirmation of
Judge Parker, with especial reference
to his statement in 1920 as candidate
for governor on the participation of
Negroes in politics. Senator FeSs wrote.
7 regret exceedingly this utterance,
although the circumstances at the time
1t was made might somewhat relieve the
severity of it. Men in the heat of a
political campaign frequently give ut
terance to sentiments that would not
have been made excepS in a campaign.
Even in that case, such utterances are
extremely unfortunate. However, the
factors to be considered in the confir-
nation of a nominee for the Supreme
Court must not be subordinated to some
fugitive utterance or some opinion of
this or that subject
Given Endorsement.
Il have received some communica-
tons from the leading colored people
OF North Carolina assuring me that
Judge Parker would be fair to the col
ored race. The President of the North
Carolina College for Negroes assures me
that by education, experience and gen.
eral mental attitude, Judge Parker is
fitted to adorn the Supreme Court OF
the Nation; his decisions will be fair
both to labor and all races; he will
endeavor to interpret laws for the best
interest OF the people; he will strive
to promote peace between the races.
Upon this basis President Shepard
earnestly desires to see him confirmed

Through the serial number in the
gloves the investigators hope to trace
the owner. They believe it will be
more difficult to find the owner of the
scarf, however. Nevertheless, both the
gloves and the scarf are considered of
great value.
Miss Skinner and Miss Sperry iden-
tilted the coat, hat and pocketbook, but
said they had never before seen the
scarf, notebook, gloves, jewelry or a
green-back novel which was in the col
lection. The trinkets and a pair of
silk stockings appeared to be new, and
the investigators believe they probably
were purchased by Miss Baker before
she went to church on the day she was
murdered.
The absence of blood stains on Miss
Bakers coat, 1t was explained, was due
to the fact that she was not wearing
the coat at the time of the assault.
When the woman left the church she
was carrying the coat on her arm, it
being a warm April afternoon.
Aside from establishing an alibi that
the authorities could not break, SiSSon
won another point in his favor when
he was confronted by Francis T. Rice

failed to identify him as the man he
saw struggling with a woman in

streets a few hours before Miss Baker
is believed to have been murdered.

against either Sisson or Gallagher. Sis

Some of the bacon in the basket ball games last night went across the Channel when the Island teams took the ferry home, for the girls, who came over from Douglas High School made it three straight over Juneau and walked off the floor victors of a 25-23 tilt that kept the fans off their seats much of the time The game gave the girls title to Douglas.
 In each of the three games played this year the teams have played approximately along the same lines. Last night, as in the other tilts, Douglas piled up a sufficiently high lead in the first three cantos to carry them through to victory, and for the third time the locals staged a fourth quarter rally that gave the cagh customers thrill and kept them bowling for more at the top Of their lungs.

 William H. Dempsey, the we'll known gentleman of ring fortune, is sufficiently astute to realize that his value in any public circum- stance is in no wise handicapped by the thought that perhaps, after all, the Old Man Mauler may be persuaded to have one more fling with the gloves.
 Nevertheless and notwithstanding aii this pleasant innuendo, the fact i5 that Dempsey has very little, if any more intention or desire to re- tu.n to active combat than his sue Cessor, James J. Tunney.
 The-e two put on their last big act nj Chicago. Tunney may pre- fer to recollect that he said his farewell to the ring with the knockout 10 Tom Heeney but as a matter of fact, Gentleman Gene really gave a greater exhibition of prowess in his second fight with Dempsey tran he did in using old rem for Q punching bag. Of course there was the 14-count, the old bicycle in motion in that famous seventh round and all that sort of thing. Nevertheless Mir. Tunacy olce upon his feet and in full command of his faculties gave a greater exhibition of skill and stamina in whipping Dempsey through the last three rounds than he did in any other battle of his career. He had to win the last three rounds decisively to keep the title and he did it, following the most unpleasant experience he had ever known inside the ropes.
 Dempsey lost no prestige; rather he gained plenty in that climax to his great career. It would be a little short of a travesty now for Old Man Mauler to attempt a comeback. He is older than Babe Ruth, Bill Tilden and other stars whose legs still carry them about the main arenas but these per- formers have kept in shape with year r-in-and-out competition. Demp- sey was passing the peak in the year he beat Tommy Gibbons and Luis Firpo-1923. He was not any where near his old fighting self when he lost his first fight with Tunney in 1926 and he had little more than the old punch and courage left the next year, when he beat Sharkey and put Tunney on the floor with his last big fusi- Jade
 Dempsey still in all likelihood could outpunch any of the new crop of heavyweights, but tough and fast young men like Sharkey, Griffiths and Schmeling would d quickly wear down the one-time champion. No one knows this any better than Dempsey.
