UNLIKELY ATL0ND0N
English Press Agrees With the
United States That Big
Boats Will BE Kept

London, Jan. 17.-(R-There was
little expectation in England today
that the forthcoming London naval
conference would result in early abo-
lition Of battleships, that development
undoubtedly would be welcomed by q
large section Of the British public.
The Times said today, voicing a
general view which the attitude of
the United States rs reported here
was regarded as strongly confirming,
said: 1.-THE disappearance Of the bat
tleship from the worlds fleets is an
idea incapable Of immediate fulfill
ment."
American dispatches to London pa
pers represented opinion across the
Atlantic as being quite hostile to the
idea expressed by Premier Macdonald
yesterday that capital ships may be
eliminated from the worlds navy.
One dispatch declared the suggestion
had raised q storm" in the United
States.
However a more hopeful view was
taken Of the possibility of prolonging
the battleship holiday by extending
the life Of existing capital ships un-
til 1885 and 1886 when It was assumed
another conference would be called
to arrange possible limitations. It
was contended this would keep open
the way for q further step in the d.
rection of their abolition.
The point considered most here is
that of cost Of the capital ships to tax
payers. The Chronicle urging even
tual abolition on this score pleaded
the British government would set
an example, declaring II this country
reduces tonnage and the number Of
its warships other countries would
follow.

JAPANESEFAVORING
HOLIDAY EXTENSION

lea Agree

Tokyo, Jan. 17.-PeAn official
spokesman for the Japanese foreign
office today said while Japanese opin-
ion in general hardly was ready to
accept Prime Minister M Donald's
idea Of eventual abolition Of battle
ships 1t was ~arousing sympathetic
response in q wide influential circle.
He said Japan was agreeable to an
extension of the holiday On construc-
ton of capital ships to 1886, and III
within that period American and
British opinion approved the abolition
OF the ships the Japanese people
probably would be ready to follow
their lead"
The spokesman pointed out Japan's
fleet Of ~battleships had cost q larger
proportion Of her national income
than was the case Of any Of the other
powers, hence the strong conservative
feeling against the scrapping Of the
ships for which the nation had
sweated to pay.
Mr.. MacDonald's statement We'd
nesday to the newspaper correspond
ents, relating particularly to eventual
abolition of. battleships, was cabled
here verbatim and carefully studied

FEE SUIT
HOLDS LANCER TOOK
TOO MUCH IN $4,35S
Charles Hoover Suing Attorney
Who Recovered $o,041 in
Mortgage Action

Trial of suit for recovery of so much
Of $4,358 as may be deemed in excess
Of q proper attorney fee for William
LANCER to have retained in represent
ing Charles e. Hoover Of Dawson In
an action Of 1924 against the Northern
States Insurance company, was start
ed before Judge r. g.. Mcfarland In
district court Thursday afternoon.
The claim Of Hoover, as laid before
the jury in the text Of the complaint
by John +. Sullivan, Of counsel for the
plaintiff. set forth that Hoover re-
tanned LANCER May 10, 1924, to recover
q mortgage, some notes, some4nterest
and cash, from the insurance company
paid in on the mortgage, the whole
amounting to $9,053.60.
LANCER was successful in winning
the case in the lower court, whereupon
it was appealed to the state supreme
court. There he also succeeded In win
ming the case. LANCER, put on ross
examination In opening the case, ad-
mitted recovering $9.04l. so. of which,
he also admitted, he retained $4,358
and still retains It.

Part Of the $9,04l.50 recovered was
in the form Of q mortgage item-with
accrued ~interest-in the amount Of
$3,400.65. There was $500 represent
ing costs. In addition to the mortgage.
LANCER testified, he turned 81 ,313.10
in cash over to Hoover. LANCER, with
the approval of Hoover. paid out $500
Of the money recovered to J. A.
Hooker, he said.
hangers contention as justifying his
retention Of the 1855 as fee was in
dicated in his effort to introduce tes-
ttmony through John Knauf, James
town attorney, that Hoover had tried
to interest him In the caS against the
insurance company and that he had
suggested q $3.50 split in any recovery
obtained through the courts.
There was q bank failure back
ground brought into the trial when
LANCER explained. in his statement to
the jury. that Hoover had traded de-
post certificates in a Dawson bank
for the mortgage and then, September
8, 1923, the bank closed, with $1,000 to
5000 Of Hoover's money deposited in
1t. In all, Hoover claimed he had been
loser for $500 in his bank dealings,
LANCER said.
Holds Suit Was Cooperative
LANCER insists that the suit was .
sort Of cooperative affair between him
and Hoover. in which Hoover had de-
clared any 10 per cent fee would be
off II he recovered the claim in excess
Of $1,000 which he had against the In
surance company. Hoover paid only
$50 Of the expenses in the course Of
carrying on the suit, he said.
