SAYS CAPONE HOME
is ARMED CAMP
Testimony of Presence of
Arms Seen to Disturb
GangSter.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, June 12.-The Miami
Beach residence of "Scarface" AL Ca
pone was described as a virtual armed
camp yesterday by Edward Robinson,
State witness in proceedings instituted
by States Attorney N. Vernon Haw-
thorne to paddock the Capone home.
Robinson, whose home is close to the
Capone residence on Palm Island, ex-
elusive residential area, testified that
he had seen men walking about the
Capone grounds with pistols in their
pockets or strapped to their hips on
several occasions. He also mentioned
the police guard that has been stationed
at the grilled entrance to the Capone
home by the City of Miami Beach.
The Chicago gangster, named with
his wife as defendant in the Haw-
thorne petition, appeared perturbed as
RohinsonS testimony was given. He
Immediately conferred with his attor-
neys, Vincent C. Giblin and j. F. Cor
don.
On cross examination. Robinson re-
piled to question of Giblin as to his
certainty that what he saw were pistols:
II guess I know revolver when
see one, and I'm giving this testimony
under oath"
He said the incident occurred about
year ago.
Rev. William H. Sledge, pastor of
Baptist church here, testified to hear
ing John Capone a brother of the
gangster, order three cases of liquor
for delivery at the home of Fred Pine,
Miami attorney, on December 4, 1928.
He was unable to identify John in the
court room today, under cross-examina-
ton, but said he was positive it was
John. He heard the order given at the
Capone home, he said, when he went
there in an attempt to rent an automo-
bile.
Mai. George E. Brown, in charge of
Army engineers in this section, said
Capone had attempted to press bank
note on him after exceeding his author
ity in building dock at the rear Of his
home Brown said he refused the note
without looking at it to see its denomi-
nation. and ordered the gangster to get
an additional permit for his dock.
The hearing was recessed at noon I'M
til tomorrow with a number of State
witnesses still to be called to the stand
before the defense brings its story into
court records.

the United States and Great Britain
have indicated they cannot concede
Frances demand that she be given q
security pact In exchange for reduction
in her navy program. This, however,
did not deter the experts from trying
to find some way out of the dilemma.
II was expected that the entire day
would be devoted to an analysis OF
the French figures involved in her claim
for . 7240O0-ton navy. Among those
engaged in this work were: A. V. Alex
ander, first lord of the admiralty; Rene
MeSsigli and Jacques Louis Dumesnil,
French minister Of marine; Dwight w.
Morrow, American delegate: J. Theodore
Mariner, diplomatic adviser to the
American delegation, and Commodore
Harold G. Train were present as OBJ
servers.
There was hope--though some OBJ
servers regarded it as not too high. The
experts were splitting the French naval
claims up into their constituent parts
and studying each one separately to
see just how essential 1t was.
The American spokesman scoffed at
reports coming from the United States,
that the United States and Great Bri-
tain would be willing to reduce battle
ships by three more down to II. 1t
was said emphatically that reduction
would be only to Is and then only after

WASHINGTONS IDEA
GUIDES U. S. GROUP
mo Entangling Alliances
Policy Followed as France
Is Refused Pact.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

~N~~~ O~@~
~ Radio to The Star.
LONDON, England, March a.
George WaShington's immortal doctrine
Of no entangling alliances became the
keynote at the Naval Conference today.
It is resounding throughout London as
result of the American delegations
unequivocal statement that the United
States will under no circumstances be-
come a party to any kind of security
pact in Frances favor, consultative or
otherwise.
Announcement to that effect on Slim
sons authority formally supplements
the declaration of Great Britain's pur-
pose by Mr.. Macdonald in his broad
cast to America March'9. France is now
fully and finally aware that there can
be no five-power pact including security
guarantee provisions.
Speculation II Keen.
Speculation is as keen over the real mo-
tive behind the affirmation of Americas
attitude as 1t is regarding the effect on
the French. The Hoover administFa-
lions wholesome respect for the Senate
Is the most popular explanation.
AS recently as a fortnight ago IN
dications were forthcoming from q
responsible delegation quarters that
Stin1s0n, In accord with Hoover, was
more than open-minded on the subject
Of ct least q consultative pact.
The United States, it is now ex-
planned, is not opposed to consultation
in an international crisis as long as
it il definitely understood that it shall
be consultation and nothing else.
But when the consultative pact Il
sought as France is now seeking it the
matter assumes, in American eyes, an
entirely different aspect.
1914 Position Ii Recalled.
An almost identical position arose In
1914, when on the eve of the World
| War, France clamored for aid from the
British navy to protect her channel
coast because q couple of years before
the French feet was removed from the
Atlantic in return for the British fleets
withdrawal from the Mediterranean.
Secretary Stirnson and his colleagues
are bombarded with cablegrams and
letters from home urging them not
to leave London without satisfactory
treaty. Much of this pressure reflects
| Q belief that the United States can
and should afford to risk consulta-
tive pact If 1t Is the price which must
be paid for successful conference.

figures by means of q pact having SEEM
inRlly vanished, Great Britain and the
United States are reSorttng TO q d1rect
attack on these figures.
Special ships like launches, mine
layers and aircraft tenders, wh1cn
France counts in the total tonnage, but
which the United States and Great
Britain do not count, have been reduced,
in conference, decreasing the total H.
900 tons. The French were reluctant to
make, this concession for two reasons.
Italy's Use Is Cited.
A good many small naval powers,
who will be represented eventually AZ
the Geneva Disarmament Conference,
entrust their defense to such vessels In
no small degree. Also, Italy used in
the World War and plans to use If
necessary in future, fast motor boats
armed with torpedoes against battle
ships and cruisers.
However, the French made the con-
cession all the same. They did so,
however, with the understanding that
when the French figures are thorough
| ly elucidated, Great Britain and the
United States similarly will take up the
italian figures. Thus far Italy has fat
| ly refused to bring forward any figures
at all, saying that whatever happens to
be Itaiy's total viii be exactly that Of
France
But France wants Great Britain and
the United States to oblige Italy to say
exactly what the present strength Of
the Italian navy is In all classes and ex-
actly how much Italy really thinks It
| can build in the next five years
Great BrftMns idea Of what France
might have without an increase Of
British figures above what Is acceptable
to the United States roughly Is IS fol-
lows:
a total Of 100000 tons to 1,9OO 900
tons for Great Britain, instead Of the
724, 900 tons France claims.
Seven S-inch-gun cruisers to IS Brit
ish, instead Of the 10 the French claim
| Sixty-five thousand tons Of subma-
rines to $4,000 British, instead Of the
100000 tons the French claim.
Britain Would Demand More.
At the s&me time an effort would be
made to limit Italy, it Is said, to total
of 400, 900 tons.
If the French maintain their figures,
particularly in S-inct-gun cruisers and
submarines, the British admiralty In
tends to insist on an increase Of Brit
| ish cruiser and destroyer tonnage above
| the Rapidan figures.
| Crest Britain would demand 374,OOO
tons Of cruisers instead Of 1890 or
| SO instead Of so. In destroyers, Great
Britain would demand 400 1000 tons In
stead of 10000 tons This would
oblige the United States under the
theory of parity to make similar in
creases, and the cost Of parity. which
already Is 50 high that our Congress
looks askance at the figures, would be
50 increased that parity with Great
Britain BY 1885 would be virtually out
of the question.

A FrenchmAn close to his ecuintrys

A Frenchman close to his eountrys
delegation here declared:
There win be no weakening.
1.-THE French attitude is that they
must have the right to build this ton
mage even though they probably never
will build it. It appears that they Will
put all their cards on the table and go
back to Paris with their original tom
mage figures unless some sort Of secur-
Ity pact is forthcoming; this latter seems
extremely doubtful.
This stand of the French does not
mean that some sort Of agreement will
not be reached. In fact, the French be-
lieve a five-power agreement is probable,
containing at least three points: A fur
ther battleship holiday; second, adop-
ton of the theory Of limitation by cat
ton of submarines. There IS general
agreement among the I'VE powers on
these points"
