i. S. FORMULA WINS
TOK|rS APPROVAL
Draft Containing Two or
Three Reservations Re-
ported Completed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClhISu EIcSS.
TOXIC, March Silt was under
stood here today that Baron Shidehara,
foreign minister, had completed draft
of instructions to the Japanese dele
cation at the London Five-power Naval
Conference authorizing the acceptance
of the japanese American formula
without material alteration of the fig
ures involved, but seeking the assent
of the other powers to two or possibly
three reservations attached to Tokio's
acceptance.
1t was authoritatively promised that
the end of Japan's fortnight of indie
cision regarding the Reed-Matsudaira
formula would come tomorrow.
Baron Shidehara's draft of instruc-
tions was said to have been put into
the hands of Premier Hamaguchi for
presentation to the cabinet tomorrow
morning. Approval of the cabinet is
believed to be assured. Afterward the
draft will be rendered to Emperor
Hirohito, whose sanction is necessary
because the decision is considered as
vitality affecting Japan's international
relations for years to come.
It was understood that the reserva-
tons prepared by France would be to
insure that acceptance of the Japanese
American formula does not imply
Japan's readiness to give up her de-
mands for a 20 per cent ratio of eight
inch-gun cruisers permanently and to
enable Japan to carry out a certain
amount of naval construction between
now and 1886 for the purpose of giving
employment to skilled dockyard work.

Government scientists today were &C
cused Of cruelty to animals in connec-
ton with medical experiments on live
dogs In the District of Columbia during
lively hearing on the Zihlman anti
vivisection bill at the House ONCE
Building.
In response to a request by Repre-

of the House District committee, that
specific instances of cruelty be cited,

was stated seven Of the dogs had died

mentation on animals in the District,
proponents Of the bill charged that they
had met with Constructions" in their
efforts to obtain from the municipal
authorities definite statistics regarding
the use OF pound dogs for medical ex-
periments.
Miss Mabel E. Orgelman, legislative
secretary of the -ViviSection League,
told of the refusal of Health Ofticer
William @. Fowler to give her the in
formation desired until an appeal had
been taken to District Commissioner
Dougherty. She complained that the
-yivisectioniStS had been handicap
ped by a shortage of time in which to
gather full information on conditions
In the National Capital.
An array of witnesses of national
and international prominence in anti
vivisection circles, including three ply
s1cians, presented vigorous arguments
to the committee against the use of
dogs and experimental purposes, and
cited what they declared were out
standing examples of inhumane prac-
tices on the part Of scientific experts.
Tests Outside District.
When Mr.. Goldman read from an
other medical journal an account of
tests made at the Edgewood Arsenal
in Maryland, to determine the effect on
dogs or phosphorus burns, an Army Of
