Pirate Tomcat Leads Seven Otters’ Raids Upon Decoy Ducks By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., April 12.— A startling story of a swaggering tomcat named Themistocles and of his cut-throat crew of seven otters, who live beneath a house. boat on Sauvies Island, in the Columbia River, was brought to the State game commissivn o= day by Frank Ruthman, sports- man, who asked that the ottes be captured and removed to other flelds. Ruthman said the tomcat snd his pals made life miserable for Ruthman's decoy duck flock. Themistocles, Ruthman said, spends most of his time beneath the boathouse, where any time of day he can be seen with other members of his band. The game commission took the request under advisement. DRAFT IS HURRIED ON NAVAL TREATY ' when 1t is presented to the Senate for { ratification. 1It's ratification, however, ‘was predicted last night by Senator Fess of Ohio, Senator Allen of Kansas and others. Senator Fess, a member of the foreign relations committee which will handle the treaty, declared that he belleved the treaty would be approved by the Senate by a large vote. It requires a two- vote of the Senate for ratification. Senator Allen r®ferred to the treaty as the “best achievement of the Hoover administration” to date. He said that its terms meant a real reduction in ex- penditures for naval armament, both in this country and abroad; that the treaty in effect strengthened the Kellogg pact renouncing war and that it would make for ‘world peace. The Kansas Senator, however, ad- mitted that the treaty would be at- tacked by the “big navy” supporters. Natural Opposition. “It is patural that it should be op- posed by big-navy advocates,” said Senator Allen. “They would oppose any agreement proposing to limit size of the Navy.” sennvtzr Allen expressed the view that the country generally would approve heartily the naval limitation treaty, ‘Which gives the United States parity with Great Britain. Opponents of the treaty were loath to be quoted at_this time. One Republi- can Senator, however, who does not be- lieve in the treaty, insisted that “l'!' would never beTatified by the Senate. This Senator took the view that lh!‘ treaty provided for the United States merely the “kind of a navy that Great Britain wishes us to have, not the kind of navy that meets the needs of the United States” He argued this was true because the United States “needs more 10,000-ton cruisers armed with 8-inch guns than the treaty authorizes. Great Britain, because of her many naval bases and coaling stations, can meet her naval needs with smaller cruisers, armed with 6-inch guns, he said. : Another ‘argument advanced by the opponents of the treaty is that too great cons have been made to Japan, bringing about a naval ratio be- tween the United States, Britain and Japan of 10-10-7 instead of the 5-5-3 ratio agreed upon at the Washington Naval Conference in 1922. And still a third objection is found | in the proposal that Britain be permit- | ted to increase the size of its fleet if France, for example, begins to tread on British toes by constructing a large fleet. The United States under such conditions, it is argued, would be com- pelled either to accept an inferiority in continue building cruiser: and armament which the does not require. Stand Toward Japan. United States “What,” asked this Senator, “will the | In Pacific Coast say to this treaty?” It was evident he believed the Pacific Coast would turn thumbs down because of the agreement with the Japanese. Senator Borah, chairman of the for- elgn relations committee, said he would not comment on the ty until he has 1ts terms all before him. It is no secret, Towever, that Senator Borah is pleased ‘with the fact that the treaty will car.y no “consultative pact” or any other po- Jitical commitment along with it. The Jdaho Senator has bsen a strong advo- cate of naval limitation, and more par- ticularly of naval reduction. He was the originator of the proposal, carried m the naval appropriation bill passed in 1921, which called upon the President | %o take steps for a naval limitation con- 1ference, the plan which was later car- Tied out- by President Harding. For . should be opposed to the treaty, it would be ‘because it has not gone far enough in the matter of reduction of armaments.

LONDON, April 12—The London naval treaty, which in large measure will eliminate world competition i naval building for the next five years, today began to take shape in definite written form. A draft was rushed into shape by the drafting and expert committees throughout the day in the hope of sub- mitting it to the delegates by midnight. It can thus be studied over Sunday. So far the jurists responsible for writing the treaty are holding their own in their race against time to make possible formal signature on Thursday and the departure of the American delegation homeward on the liner Leviathan on April 22. The committee assigned to the work of drafting labored at their task all through the day and into the night. They were aided by special treaty ex- perts, under Sir Maurice Hankey, sec~ retary general of the conference. Experts Wait Outside. The experts waited outside the com- mittee room in St. James’ Palace ready at a_moment’s notice to furnish advice o;-n the precise wording of any doubtful clause. All outstanding points in the various technical reports were approved this afternoon by the first committee of the conference and will be presented at the formal plenary session on Monday. Among the reports considered were those dealing with the scrapping of battleships, the definition of aircraft rriers, replécements and age limits. ca; France and Italy form: the right to build the capital ships they are entitled to construct under the ‘Washington treaty prior to the present year. This tonnage amounts to 70,000 for each country, but the general under- standing of the conference is that the battleships will not be built. 4 According to the definite confersnce scrapping program, the United States will scrap the battleships Florida and Utah, one ship to be rendered unfit for warlike service within 12 months of rat- ification of the London treaty and finally scrapped within two years. 18 Months’ Limit. The other ship is to be rendered un- fit for service within 18 months and finally scrapped within 30 months. The British Empire will scrap four ships, the Marlborough, the Emperor of dia, the Benbow and the Tiger, at various intervals up to 30 months from the date of ratificaigon of the treaty. The following capital ships are to be retained for training purposes: The United States, the Arkapsas; Great Britain, the Iren Duke, and Japan, the Hi-Yel. These ships will be rendered useless for warfare within 12 months in the case of the United States and Great Biitain, and 18 montas in the case of Jngx:n. ime Minister Ramsay Macdonald, Secretary of State Stimson and former Premier Reijiro Wakatsuki are bent on finishing the major part of the confer- ence work by next Thursday.

Certain that they had seized two of their rum cdrs and spotted a third, police and Federal officers early today were hot on the trail of two colored sus- pects in the murder of Prohibition Agent Lamar Watson York, shot down early ' yesterday when he followed a whisky automobile into an alley behind First and P streets. One o fthe pair sought for question- ing, John Logan, Roy Logan, supposed to have eluded a police trap yesterday noon when his whisky-laden automobile was located parked on Ninth near P street. L. C.

Liquor Found in Car. ‘The driver is presumed to have taken warning and escaped. Investigation of the machine, a high-powered road- ster, revealed a cargo of 30 gallons of whisky. The suspect, police believe, hoped to dispose of the whisky to finance a get- away. A number of supposed “hang- outs” of Logan and his alleged com- panion, John Burroughs, said to go by a dozen aliases, were under police sur- veillance last night. All of the murdered man’s fellow officers available were detailed to the investigation, while the police detall was led by Lieut. Edward J.

Shooting Is Reconstructed. ‘The story, as obtained after a score of persons had been grilled yesterday, was substantially as follows: York, off duty and on the way to his home at 1244 C street northeast, sighted the suspected rum car followed it to the mouth of the alley without exciting the suspicion of his quarry. The dry agent parked his coupe on the main street and followed on foot into the dark by-way. He came upon the rum Mr:l’:“r Just Ik‘ th: I;M:c\lpmta were pre] g to make a delivery. an two colored men fled down the alley. York investigated and found liquor in the abandoned machine, an expensive touring car. Either wishing to sum- mon_assistance from the policeman on the beat, or to bring out the man who was to receive the delivery, York stood beside the wheel and sounded the siren continuously for 20 minutes. ‘The noisy demonstration collected a sizeable crowd, and York, seeing an elderly colored man whom he happened to know, stepped a short distance from | M: the machine to question him relative to the identity of the fugitives.

He emerged suddenly from against the alley wall. firing point blank at York, who fell on his back before he had op- portunity to teach for his gun. At about 12:30 o’clock some one tele- phoned police at No. 2 precinct and Sergt. J. L. Norris and Pvt. W. W. Whitemore _were sent to the scene. (Continued on Page 5, Column 4.)

Representative Simmons is insistent that the four squares between Third and Sixth streets and north of Penn- sylvania avenue to Indiana and Louisi- ana avenues for a municipal center be acquired at once and the actual erection of the buildings in the new municipal group be started as soon as possible. The easiest way to finance this im- portant municipal improvement, which links in with the Federal building pro- gram, Representative Simmons believes, is for the Federal Government to pur- chase at once from the District the present Municipal Building, which will be taken as part of the Federal build- ing program, so that the funds allowed for the District Building may be used to start the new municipal group. Legislation Introduced. Representative ‘Simmons has intro- duced specific legislation providing for this which includes a provision that the District government be allowed to occupy the present District Building until part of the new municipal group is ready for occupancy. This measure, however, will not be pushed because the new Keyes-Elliott act includes au- thority for the Secretary of the Treas- to take over the Municipal Building. e new District Commissioners were assured by Representative Simmons that he believed it would be for the best in- terests of the Federal as well as the District Governments to have Secre- &% Star “From Press to Home .

There were no passengers aboard.

Officials were faced with the pros- pect of attaching a total of fine trains— one fruit extra, two freight and two tary Mellon put through this deal at|passel once. ‘Wants Plans for Group. It was also emphasized by Representa- and | tive Simmons that he desires to have plans and specifications drawn by some outstanding architect of the country for the complete municipal group to occupy the entire four squares of the new municipal center. He pointed out that the office of the municipal architect is sufficiently busy with school build- ings and other local structures, and that the municipal group is a monumental project, which calls for special study, and that the best experience of the en- tire country should be brought to bear in drafting the plans for the new mu- nicipal group. Representative Simmons made it clear that he wants the plans for the entire group approved, both in utili- tarian and architectural appearance, so that it will match in harmoniously with the Federal development on the all triangle and with the plans of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts, before work is started on any single structure.

Discovery by autopsy of two ad- ditional bullet wounds in the body of Miss Mary Baker, slain near Arlington Cemetery Friday night, and the recovery by police from two colored men of some of her missing belongings were late de- velopments last night as police of four distinct agencies sought to untangle the mystery of her death. A bullet wound in her back, one of three inflicted by her assailant, indicated that Miss Baker was shot down from behind as she fled on foot. The two colored men, who were placed under arrest on a charge of possessing stolen property, are said to have confessed they stole Miss Baker’s coat, pocketbook, umbrella, scarf and a seat cushion from her car before it was found abandoned by the police. They gave their names as Frank Smith and James Vollin of Queen City. Sheriff Howard Fields said he did not believe the men had any con- nection with the murder and it is understood authorities are going on the theory that a white man was responsible. New Clue Reported. Police are understood to have been working last night on a re- port said to have been submitted by two motorists that they had seen a man and a woman engaged an an altercation in an automo- bile at Seventeenth and B streets. Both are understood to have re- ported the matter to the police late Friday night. Miss Baker's car was parked at Seventeenth and B streets. The hat Miss Baker was said to have been wearing when she dis- appeared is still missing, as are ione or two other articles of | clothing. The colored men said it was not in the car when they took the other articles. The men said they took the property from the car about 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Deputy Sheriff Archie Richards, who found the car, how- ever, said he made his discovery about 6 o'clock and there was nothing in the car then. Body Found in Culvert. The body of the 28-year-old Navy Department clerk was found shortly after noon yesterday lying in the shallow water of a little creek that runs under Military road from the cemetery near the Sheridan Gate. Apparently the body had bgen thrown down from the top of a culvert which spans the road at this point. Stained with blood, her automobile pre- viously had been found aban- doned nearly a mile down the road toward Washington. Coroner B. H.
