BRAND WH|TLOCK
EXPIRES IN FRANCE
Former Ambassador to BEL
gium Succumbs After
Bladder Operation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CANNES, France, May 24.-Brand
Whitlock, former United States Am
bassador to Belgium, died here today.
Mr.. whitlock, who was IS years old,
died at noon.
He had been i'll for some months.
He was taken to the Sunnybank
English-American Hospital March S,
and underwent serious bladder oper-
alton at that time.
Had Been Improving.
He had been improving slowly and
friends said they thought he was on
the way to recovery.
A second operation was performed
yesterday for the bladder ailment and
the famous diplomat appeared after
ward to be doing excellently. How
ever, today his heart failed.
Mrs. Whitlock was with him
throughout his illness and beside him
when he died.
Burial in Cannes.
Funeral services will be Saturday
at Holy Trinity Church and the burial
will be in Cannes.
While these plans are incomplete, it
was expected the Belgian government
will be represented.
Mrs. Whitlock said, after her hus-
bands death:
Mr.. Whitlock underwent a second
operation and appeared to be doing
excellently but, unfortunately, his
heart was unable to stand the strain
and gave way"
The operation was performed by a
specialist from Paris.
The outbreak of the World War and
invasion of Belgium developed great
humanitarian problem which focused
worldwide attention on Brand Whit
lock. His vigorous efforts in behalf OF
the Belgian civilians in the face Of
strong opposition by the German mill
tary leaders won for him admiration
and affection on the part of the Bel
gians.
Many others were active in raising
funds and food among the allied
powers and neutrals for Belgian re-
lief, but it was through Whitlock's
organization that relief was dis
tributed.

TOXIC, May 24-Secretary Swan
sons insistence on maintenance OF
the 5-5-3 treaty naval ratios as
among the United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan, evoked today strong
official expression of Japan's refusal
to agree to an extension Of present
limitations and agreements beyond
1886.
Japan insists the Washington and
London treaties be replaced by new
agreements fairer and more reason
able and affording Japan genuine as
surance of security" said Rear Ad-
miral Tsuneyoshi Sakano, chief Of the
navy's Office propaganda bureau, in a
written statement to the press.
Safety Seen Menaced.
"The Washington ratios menace
the japanese empires safety" the
statement said The Washington
treaty was framed to meet special
conditions Immediately after the war
and now long outdated.
"Armaments compacts must be
offered in accordance with changed
political, scientific and technical con-
ditions. The London treaty was a
temporary compact and was not in
tended to extend past 1896.
Both treaties are undesirable in
many respects. We insist upon new
agreements"
Sakano did not mention the matter
Of japanese naval parity with Great
Britain and the United States, upon
which she is expected to insist at the
next naval conference.
However, vernacular newspapers
quoted anonymous naval authorities
as insisting upon agreements based
upon the principle Of equality" and
equal rights in national defense"
Sensation In Toxic.
The American Navy Secretary's
statement at a Washington press con-
ference yesterday that he saw no rea-
son for modification of the treaty so
as to grant parity to Japan and his
announcement that the United States
will consider" extending her naval
bases in the Pacific If Japan builds
beyond existing treaty ratios was the
sensation Of the day in the press.
The interview was given the most
prominent position in all afternoon

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Although it is unlikely that official
conversations regarding the coming
naval conference in 1885 will begin
until after the debt question is out
Of the way, there have been unofficial
exchanges of views regarding the
necessity Of having such q confer
ence.
All Western powers parties to the
Washington and the London treaties
agree that conference should be
held.
The London naval agreement makes
mandatory another session in 1885;
the Washington treaty establishing
the $50 ratio for battleships and
aircraft carriers between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan pro-
vides that the treaty should continue
until the interested parties denounce
it, two years before it expires Failing
such denunciation it continues for
another two years. The last day for
terminating the treaty is December
81, 1884.
While Great Britain and the United
States are willing to have another
conference, the japanese point Of
view has not been ascertained.
All that Toxic has made known is
that it does not want to be bound
by the limitations of the Washington
and London treaties; 1t demands
parity in most classes of craft.
Whether TOXIC thinks that such parity
can be obtained at a conference or by
refusing to attend the conference Is
a matter Of diplomatic speculation.
Most well-informed quarters believe
the japanese have nothing to gain
by refusing to participate in a new
conference. Such action would put
them in difficult diplomatic situa-
tion and is likely to have serious
repercussion in Japan where the few
opponents of the government may
accuse the military clique Of not
having made an effort to obtain parity
for Japan by diplomatic negotiations
1t is pointed out that the Japanese
government which has made its point
Of view known, can come to another
naval diplomatic gathering and put
the cards on the table and argue its
demand for parity. II they do not
get it, the conference will fail, but
the Japanese can return home and
say that the jealousy of the other
nations has prevented Japan from
getting her right. Such a move would
have a certain reaction throughout
the empire and the Japanese govern
ment could not be accused at home
of having failed to ask parity by legal
means.
Japan, Of course, is in a strong
position. While she has completed

fered numerous injuries, and one man
was struck in the eye by a gas
projectile.
Orville Kane of West Toledo was
taken to a hospital, one eye badly cut
by the gas bomb. At the same time,
Pvt John Kanisky of the Ohio Ma
| tional Guard, was taken to the hos
pital with injuries received when he
was struck by brick.
At least six other soldiers we're re-
ported slightly injured from the brick

report that a 15-year-old boy had
received a flesh wound in the thigh.
The jeering, cursing crowd which

PRESTwICK, Scotland, May "a
Johnny Goodman, American open
champion and betting odds favorite,
was defeated in the fifth round of
the British Amateur Golf Champion
ship today by Leslie Garnett, an Eng
lishman, 8 and /.
The surprising defeat of the young
Omaha star stripped the champion
ship of the first two favorites. Jack
Mclean, crack Scottish Walker Cup
player. was defeated by James Wal
lace, an unemployed carpenter, up.
The only Americans left in the
championship were George T. Dun
lap. jr., United States amateur cham
pion, and w. Lawson Little, San
Francisco husky. who are among the
eight survivors for the quarter-fi finals
to be played tomorrow morning. They
are in opposite halves of the draw.
Defeats Wethered.
Dunlap won two matches today,
defeating Roger Wethered, l up. in
the third round, and R. S. Walker,
Aberdeen University student, 4 and 3,
this afternoon.
Little's victims we're Lionel Mum,
47-year- -old IriShman, who lost by 3
and 2, and Gordon Peters Of Glas-
gov, who yielded, 4 and 3.
Wallace scored major upset this
afternoon when he defeated Mclean,
second favorite to win the champion
ship.
Wallace, who because of his finan-
cial circumstances has the free serv-
ices of his caddy, defeated three other
Walker Cup players in his march to
the quarter-flnal round. In the first
round he eliminated H. Chandler
Egan, veteran member of the Amer
ican forces, and in the second round
he overhauled Cyril Tolley, rotund
British star. This morning he con-
quered Eric Fiddian, another member
of John Bulls international team.
Goodman entered the fifth round
by defeating Hugh G. McCallum, 43-
year-old Scotsman, up, in a tense
19-hole battle.
Stages Quick Rally.
Goodman and McCallum were all
even at the halfway mark and the
veteran Scot moved into a Cup lead
at the fifteenth. They halved the
sixteenth and Goodman apparently
faced certain defeat, with McCallum
dormie 2.
But Goodman wasn't beaten yet.
He launched counter rally, winning
the seventeenth and squaring the
match at the eighteenth, where he
laid McCallum an Unacceptable stymie.
That was all the encouragement
Johnny needed and he ended the
match on the first extra hole.
Goodman closed out the match in a
sensational manner, holing q fairly
long putt for birdie 3.
Little took the measure of Mum,
but was forced to play his best after
they turned all even. Starting at the
tenth, Little won four consecutive
holes to clinch the issue.
Dunlap barely edged out Wether-
ed, veteran former British cham
pion, in nip and tuck match
that ended on the eighteenth green.
Successive brides on the fifteenth and
sixteenth holes definitely turned the
tide in Dunlap's favor after he was
l down at the fourteenth.
Jesse Guilford. Bostonian, who won
the American title in 1921, was elm
mated by Mclean, 4 and 3.

POLITICAL LEVY
REPORT IS FILED
Alleged Soliciting in PhiIa-
deIphia Revenue Office
Is Probed.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A comprehensive report on charges
of political fund assessments against
civil service employees in the office of
the Philadelphia collector of internal
revenue is in the hands of Treasury
and Civil Service Commission officials
The report is the result Of several
weeks investigation by both the In
ternal Revenue Bureau and the COM
mission. The inquiry was begun after
the commission received charges that
employees in the Philadelphia tax office
were being asked to contribute to cam
paign funds.
VIII Present Analysis.
Secretary Morgenthau has not yet
seen the report, but it will reach him
in day or two. Guy T. Helvering.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
will make a preliminary analysis be-
fore submitting the findings to Nor
genthau.
The collector Of internal revenue at
Philadelphia is Alvin F. Fix. He has
denied the charges.
Reports reached the Capital also
that charges Of graft in the customs
Office at New York were being investi-
gated by the Treasury. Questioned.
Morgenthau declined to make any
statement, neither denying nor affirm
ing the reports.
Recently, Horatio J. Abbott, Demo-
cratic national committeeman, re-
signed as collector Of internal revenue
at Detroit after charges had been
made that persons in his Office had
solicited political contributions
John J. Tighe, deputy collector at
Detroit, and George w. Woods, previ-
ously employed there, have been sus-
pended.
Morgenthau said no name has yet
received consideration for the post of
collector of internal revenue at De-
troit.
Cummings Opinion Asked.
The Treasury has asked Attorney
General Cummings to decide whether
court action is warranted by the De-
troit charges.
All the Treasury would say was
that testimony and evidence Of q
months investigation will be turned
over to the Justice Department for
such action as it sees f1t."
The law against Federal employees
soliciting campaign funds carries Q
maximum penalty Of five years.
Abbott's resignation would not pre-
vent subsequent court action should
the Justice Department so rule. but
there were intimations at the Treasury
legal prosecution did not lie against
the national committeeman.
Usual Procedure" Followed.
In shifting the case to the Justice
Department, Treasury officials said,
''the usual course of procedure" was
being followed. 1t was said two or
three days would be required to as
semble testimony and evidence for
submission to Cummings.
Woods has been on furlough from
the Internal Revenue Bureau since

One of those shot was William

The firing started when the

turned in greater numbers. Then
the second volley was fired.
The shooting continued for
