NAVALPACT DELAY
OPENS SPECULATION
impression Rises That Y. S. and
Japan Regard Treaty .
as Regional

Paris, March 9.-R-Delay by the
United States and Japan in approx
Ing the naval accord among Great
Britain. France and Italy has given
rise to an impression here that the
agreement may be regarded Official
ly as q regional arrangement among
the three countries, to run until 1886
without official modification Of the
London and Washington naval trea-
ties.
It is felt here that there is q tend
ency In Tokyo and Washington to
avoid q new five-power conference to
ratify the accord. and to avoid II pos
sible the necessity for formal approx
al which would mean submission of
the agreement to the United States
senate and the Japanese diet.
Dispatches from Tokyo Monday
we're interpreted As indicating the po-
litical opposition there was attempt
ing to impede endorsement Of the ac-
cord.
There was growing belief that the
text Of the accord may not be pub
lished next Wednesday, as scheduled.

A veil of mystery enshrouding the
cause of the death Of Norman Broehl,

night apparently the victim of some
sort Of poison, viii not be lifted for at
least q week.
Not until q complete analysis of
the viscera and the stomach con-
tents car be made will 1t be possible
to accurately determine the cause Of
death, according to d.. L. w. Larson,
who performed an autopsy Saturday.
r. q. Baird, head Of the state reg
ulatory department, said Monday
that q complete analysis OF the ma
torial submitted to his department
for examination would take at least
q week.
Chemists already started their an
alysis not only of the viscera and the
stomach content but have secured
samples of the candy said to have
been eaten by the child a few hours
before being taken i'll.
DR.. Larson stated after the autopsy
that the organs of the victim were
apparently normal. This fact, how
ever, does not mean necessarily that
the child was not poisoned, the doc
tor explained.
The child was taken Ill Thursday
night dying in commissions "a hours
later. It Is thought that he may
have been poisoned by some bright
colored easter candy purchased at a
local store.
The proprietor of the store imme-
diately removed the candy from his
counters. He stated that he was viz
tually certain that there was no poi
son contained in the candy, saying
that it was distributed by a large
candy concern in Chicago which
maintained laboratories to test their
products.

The occasion. was q gathering Of
Nonpartisan Legislators and. others In
honor of the Junior senator, who came
here to. confer with them.
Reviewing conditions In. some states,
Nye said the political corruption un-
covered by the senate election In

unbelievable."
He told Of how. truckloads Of negro
voters were taken to one polling place
after the other In Memphis. Tenn,
each man voting at each precinct,
and alleged 1t cost the Democratic

In Pennsylvania, Tennessee and
some other states he said, 1t appears
to be the custom to pay for votes and
no man. can run for public office and
expect to win without a huge CAM
paign fund.
Contributors Rule Parties
These funds, he said, come from
people who want favors from the
men elected or from the party bosses
to whom the contributions were made.
Discussing farm relief, Nye assert

they would do well to place restrtc-

said the northwest Is much more fav-

corruption and oppression by political
bosses has come to be accepted as in
evitable.
Northwestern Spirit Good
This. he said, Is due to the spirit
Of the people who have realized that

They have kept up the fight for fair
