They could rule either for or

JAPAN SEEKS
NEW NAVY PACT
Urges Agreement to Take
Place of Treaties Curb
ing Sea Competition.
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press staff Correspondent


GENEVA, May 25.-Japan, seek
ing her place in the sun, demanded
before the disarmament commission
today new naval agreement, re-
placing those of Washington and
London that halted naval competi-
ton.
Naotake Sato, chief Japanese
delegate, said before the full COM
mission, already far away from the
rose tinted situation that followed
President Roosevelt's peace letter,
that new agreement should be in
cluded in any future disarmament
convention.
Captain Anthony Eden, acting
chief British delegate, rose at once
and said:
Il would regret if the conference
accepted the Japanese proposal. I
must frankly say it is not of such
nature as to assist in our work"
Norman H. Davis, chief United
States delegate, who last week of
fered for President Roosevelt to al
ter Americas traditional diplomatic
isolation, in an effort to lead the
world toward disarmament, followed
Eden.
Opposing Sato's proposal, Davis
appealed to the conference to accept
a draft article under which sigma
tories to the Washington and Lon
don treaties would remain bound to
their pledges to reduce.
These treaties, he said, not only
halted race for naval armament,
but had a continuing influence on
the peace of the world"
Not only as matter of prestige
but in order to defend their Asiatic
Monroe policy, japanese have en-
phasized the necessity for a more
favorable ratio.

Second Murder Hearing
Ends in Hollow Victory
When Verdict Is Ordered.

BIZ Hjted Press
SAN FRANCISCO May 25-A di-
rect appeal to the United States SUI
preme court appeared today TO be
the next step in Tom Moneys Eight
for freedom.
Less than two hours after a di-
rected verdict acquitted him of ar
old indictment charging him with
one of the ten deaths in the 1915
Preparedness day bombing, Mooney
was back in San Quentin pee!ing
potatoes, but grimly determined tC
carry on the fight to higher tri-
bunal.
Chief of his legal counsel, Frank
p Walsh, said application would be
made to the United States supreme
court for a writ of habeaS corpus
Grounds for the appeal, Walsh
said, would be that Mooney is be-
ing deprived of his liberty without
due process Of law, and that he is
being denied the equal protection
of the laws both in gross violation
of the provisions of the federal
Constitution"
Pleas to ROlph Unlikely
MONEYS life sentence, super
imposed on a separate indictment
sixteen years ago, was untouched by
Wednesdays acquittal.
The application will be grounded
upon the charge that the defendant
was convicted upon perjured testi-
mony," Walsh said.
1T will be shown that the district
attorney at that time, some of his
assistants and certain police officials
had full knowledge of the fraud
practiced upon Mooney, and actual
ly connived with the witnesses who
gave the false testimony which
secured the conviction"
A second course open is a new
pardon appeal to Governor James
Rolph Jr. In view of Governor
Rolphs previous refusal to act

chance from that quarter.

The acquittal was a somewhat
hollow victory for the former labor
