Concludes Proceedings
for Infant.

The plea several months ago of
an eXpectant mother and a cross
of a pen, held by a x-months-old
baby boy, today brought new hap
piness into an indianapolis home.
For William Richard has become
the legally adopted son of Mr.. and

Standard avenue.
Mrs. Saunders has had the boy
since birth, but not until today,
when William Richard became old
enough to make a mark with a pen
on a county court record, was the
apotion concluded.
Mrs. Saunders saw the written
plea in a local newspaper of the
eXpectant mother for some one, who
had suitable home and could love
her child, to take the baby when
he was born.
On July IA, 1882, the child was
born.
Several days later court ma
chinery began to move to change
William Richards parentage and
bring happiness to the boys mother
and his future foster parents.
And now, William Richard has
made his own mark that will de-
ternine his future.

JAPAN Barred
prep AIRING FOR
RUSSIAN WAR
Defense Is Strengthened for
ANY Emergency Says
Minister.
STUNS HOUSE OF PEERS
Military Force Equal to
Soviet'S Goal, Official
Tells Diet.
BY MILES w. VAUGHN


TOXIC Jan. 26.-Japan'S national
defense has been strengthened to
meet any emergency" War Minis
ter Sadao Araki admitted during an
Interpolation in the house of peers
today.
The disclosure of extensive mil
itary preparations came on the heels
OF The war minister's statement that
Japan is striving to build a military
force equal to that of Soviet Rus
STA.
Sadao emphasized the recent
statement by Josef Stain that full
f1llment Of Soviet RusSia's five-year
plan had been hampered by the
necessity of preparing for war.
Stains declaration, the war min
lister warned means that Russia
either expects Japan to attack or
that Russia intends to attack
Japan"
Air Defense Insufficient
It was the first time Araki had
mentioned Russia openly during his
appearance before the diet
His remarks caused excited COM
ment and recalled the fiery military
leaders request at the close of the
Russo-Japanese war in 1904 that
Japan seize Siberia as a part of
the imperial domain.
Without mentioning the prevalent
fear in Japanese military circles of
aerial attacks from VladivoStok on
the Osaka industrial area, where
the leading Japanese munitions
factories are located, Araki said he
considered Japans present aerial
defenses insufficient
He recommended establishment
of an air ministry. This suggestion
was opposed by Navy Minister
Mineo Osumi. who cited rejection
of a similar idea in the United
States.
Japans dispute with China over
Jehol province must be settled
sooner or later" Araki replied to
questions relating to the Japanese
occupation of Manchmia.
May Mean New Policy"
1t is impossible to foretell the time
or method this matter will be
settled he added. IF China dis
patches troops to Jehol we will be
obliged to take decisive action.
"China's plans can not be fore
cast. In the case of the Shan
haikwan incident, we warned China
and endeaVored to prevent an
aggravation of the situation, all
without avail"
Future developments in the Jehol-
Manchurian dispute, he said, may
force Japan to pursue new
policy" He did not explain what
the new policy might be.
The national defense has been
strengthened to meet any emer-
gency" and future improvements
are planned for this year, Araki
said.

Goss declares he obtained a con-
tract from the Grassy Forks Fish
cries, Martinsville, to carry goldfish
to BroadwayS front door within
forty hours.
He was told that goldfish, even
the SamsonS of the f1nny tribe, only
could stand forty hours of pave
ments without dying.
So Goss alleges that in an effort
to chaperon the fish properly he
purchased one of the company'S
trucks on Jan. 25, 1882, and was
told he could put $4,000 pounds of
goldfish, boxes and all, aboard his
truck and reach New York within
the specified time.
He alleges that he filled that
truck up with $4,000 pounds of
goldfish. But he declares the Ii.
diana state law forbade so many to
be on the highway at the same
time.
He found his goldfish load be-
came 1l,600 pounds too heavy to
pass state policemen, and he was
ruled off the road.
He further alleged that it took
him between f1fty-fve and seventy
two hours to make the New York
jaunt, and that by the time he got
there he had a lot of dead aunts
uncles and grandpas Of the goldfish
family.
The truck, he charged. loaded
could travel but thirty-f1ve miles an
hour instead of the sales declaration
OF "flfty-f1ve miles an hour"
And because of it all. he averred
he lost $4,000 in profits which he
could have made by becoming a
goldfish gondolier.

ONE-WAY RULE
FOR 18TH St.

Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer today started to prepare
signs designating Thirteenth
Street Northwest between Massa-
chusetts and Kansas Avenues a
one-way street during rush hours.
The street will be used for
Southbound traffic only from 8 to
$50 a. m. and for northbound
vehicles only from 4 to 6 p. m. It
is expected that the system will
be put into effect in about 10 days.
The plan was suggested by Mel
vim C. Hazen, president of the
Board of District Commissioners,
as a means of reducing traffic
congestion and speeding up the
movement of rush-hour traffic.
A study also is to be made as to
the feasibility Of extending the
same system to Eleventh Street
Northwest. No definite conclu-
sion has been reached on this
point.
