On next Thursday or soon there- after Hiroti Saito, Japanese ambas- sador, is expected, unless unforeseen developments occur, to deliver to the state department the official word that Japan intends to sbrogate the treaty on Dec. 31, 1936. Saito said, however, that he had not yet been instructed to take this step. When he does, and word of his call on Secretary of State Hull has been flashed to London, the tri-nation talks that had been de- signed to smooth the way for a 1935 naval conference are expected to end automatically. ‘The London naval treaty auto- matically expires Dec. 31, 1936, and Japan's abrogation of the Washing- ton pact means that beginning Jan- uary 1, 1937, there will be no interna- tional agreements limiting naval Great Britain have not built up to the “5” allotted them in the “onan hoa ig , Japan, however, or is Building new ships almost to the last ton permitted in her “3” ratio, fig- ures here indicate.

At the same time Supervising Police Capt. John Steze announced that the escape of John Dillinger from the Crown Point, Ind., jail last March 3 had been “solved,” and that the in- side story of the break of Burns and nine companions from the Michigan City, Ind., prison in 1933 was “prac- tically cleared up.” Captain Stege said the department was not ready at this time to disclose’ either solution. He indicated that much of the questioning of Burns had been in connection with these escapes. Johnson had been questioning Burns since the escaped Indiana “lifer” was captured Sunday in a south side flat. Monday the postal inspector said: “We are quite certain that Burns is one of those connected with the Eastern postoffice officials and Brooklyn police are enroute to Chi- cago, Johnson added.

Sentenced to Indiana peni- tentiary in 1921 for murder, Burns was one of 10 convicts who escaped after the late John Dillinger, then on parole, tossed guns across the wall to them. That was the origin of the late desperado’s followers, was arrested as he drank beer in his south- side flat with a woman Sunday, and Police sought to wrest from him the secrets of two remaining members of oe band—John Hamilton and Joseph For several weeks, Deputy Attor- ney General Edward Barce of Indiana has been in Chicago working with Supervising Captain John Stege in a relentless campaign to round up the remaining members of the band. For several days they knew where Burns was living, but merely kept him un- der surveillance. The fact that several days elapsed before Burns was “spotted” and a! rested, lent weight to reports that a1 thorities planned at least one more arrest. Supervising Captain John Stege said tests of machine guns found in the flat would be made to determine if they were used in the recent death battle between George “Baby Face” Nelson and two department of jus- tice agents.
