Copyright, 1921, TOKIO, March 17.—The Doheny statements bring further fire from isading Japanese, including Admiral Takarabe, minister of the navy in the Yamamoto cabinet, \Which held office during and after the disaster. H When interviewed Admiral Takarabe declared that Doheny's alleged as- sertion, if made in an honest belief, roveals that the oil magnate is en- tirely ignorant of Tokio oil storage conditions, He sald: “Heavy naval oil never etored at Tokio. Taura, near the store some of its of this overflowe the September di ioss of 70,000 to A half million varrels represented the entire naval il losses'in the disaster. “That the American Navy, consum- g some seven million barrels an- nually in normal times, should have been at the mercy of the Japanese! aavy unless the disaster occurred is simply absurd.” Doheny's alle statement was tho cause of mirth at the headquar- ters of the Nippon Oil Company, offi- gials pointing out tha! the total oil reserve in Tokio is between 400 znd 500 barrels, including the stocks of gasoline, Kerose nd lubricating vils for commere e.
