Norman Davis Leads
Attack on Tonnage
Fight at Farley
By DAVID P. sENTNER

LONDON, Dec. IL Q.N.SD.
The British and American delega-
ticns to the naval conference to-
day continued their efforts to
smoke out from the japanese the
exact meaning of Nippon's de.
mand for a common upper limit"
of naval tonnage.
While delegates from seven ma
tions attacked and questiopeS the
japanese program which 9 ills for
scuttling half the British and
American navieS, the British and
American delegates sought to find
out how the Japanese would make
workable their plan for parity in
principle without parity in fact.
Davis Attacks Plan
Absolute japanese parity with
Britain and the United States is
steadfaStly opposed by the latter
two nations.
Norman H. Davis. leader of the
American delegation, attacked the
japanese demand for a common
upper limit" in fortnight terms.
While the conference wavered
back and forth and failed to
reach a decision, despite reports
to the contrary, Davis said the
common upper limit" proposed
by Japan would neceSSitate such
heights of naval strength for
attainment of equality Of Sc
curity" (the American theSiS)
that it would promise increased
naval building instead of naval
reduction.
He stated the Japanese plans
took no account of the real naval
needs and that under this pro
gram the Washington treaty
theory of equilibrium should be
upset.
Opposition Strong
There was also the danger,
Davis asserted, that consideration
of national prestige might cause
any nation to build up its navy
to the limit.
Viscount Monsell, first lord of
Britain's admiralty, also strongly
opposed the common upper limit"
thesis of Japan, as did the British
dominions and italy.
It was stressed that no decision
u,oS rnached hut the general 0nDO-
sition to the so-called "gentlemen's
agreement" under which Japan
would not build to the common
upper limit" even if it were given
her was extremely strong.
The feeling of the other delega-
tions was that if such an arrange
ment we're made, it should be
written into the naval treaty in
black and white rather than en-
trusted to the mercies of a gen.
tlemen'S agreement"

ROCKVILLE, Dec. 12.-If the
Montgomery county grand jury

court trial judge today, Mrs.
Lillian Maddox will stand trial
for manslaughter and not for
murder.
Bond was furnished by w. o.
Dosh. of GaitherSburg, Md, a
short time after the hearing was
concluded, and Mrs. Maddox was

The States Attorney stated he
will not call a special. session OF

that it would probably be pre-
sented to the jury at its March
term.
At a preliminary hearing in

entered a plea of self-defenSe,

mony of several witnesses to show

Brother Succumbs
In Hospital

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. II
GN.SD.-M. J. Van Sweringen,
the younger of the two brothers
who rose from newsboys on the
streets of Cleveland to dominant
positions in the world of finance
and railroading, died here today.
Death came shortly s4v1r 7
o'clock this morning in Hanna
House of Lakeside Hospital. He
was 54.
With him at the time Of his
death was his brother, o. P. Van
Sweringen. Their full names were

but the business and financial
world knew them as the Vans
M. ]. and o. P.
M. J. Van Sweringen had been
a patient at the hospital for eight
weeks.
DR.. Roger Olaf Egeberg, Mr.. Van
Sweringen'S personal physician,
said he had been suffering from
high blood pressure for four or
five years as a result Of strenuous
business activity.
Private funeral services will be
held at the Van Sweringen sum,
mer estate, Daisy Hill Farm. at
Chagrin Falls. Saturday at 2:30
p. m. Place of burial will be deS-
ignated later.
Shy and Retiring
The two brothers, in later years
shy and retiring to an almost un-
believable degree. were born in
Wooster, Ohio, Oris in 1879. Man
tis two years later. They were
educated in the public schools of
Cleveland, and in 1907 formed a
real estate firm here which later
was to expand into farflung en-
pire.
Today, evidences of the Vans"
enterprises are to be seen on every
hand in Cleveland-the Terminal
Tower. huge railroad terminal in
the heart of the city; Shaker
Heights, exclusive residential sec
ton; a rapid transit system be-
tween Cleveland and Shaker
Heights-and many others.
But it was in railroading that
the two are best known. They
have been identified with numer-
Gus railroad mergers having
Cleveland as headquarters.
Vast Rail Fmnire
Almost by accident. the two
brothers entered the railroad
field when they desired to i'm
prove transportation facilities be-
tween their subdivision and
Cleveland. Operating with almost
no capital, they acquired control
of the Nickel Plate from New
York Central Railroad.
From then on, the brothers
formed holding companies, one
after another, acquiring control
of numerous railroad lines until
the Vans" rail empire was valued
at 5000 million dollars and ex-
tended $4,000 miles.
The lines controlled by the two

that life had passed.
Suddenly I saw myself lying on

speck of light at the end.
"They were all hurrying along as
fast as they could and did not seem
to make much headway. I was ter
ribly cold and I kept pulling around
myself some gray garments which
proved Of no use.
After a long struggle I managed
to get into fairly good stride and the
cold was not so bad, I was beginning
to enjoy myself and the light was
gradually getting brighter. Suddenly

in front of me and blotted out the
