MORROW SURE OF SAILING WEEK FROM TOMORROW Rate of Progress Indicates Pact ‘Will Be Ready for Signing April 22. By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 15.—The American and British naval delegations today reached agreement regarding the so- called safeguarding or “escalator” clause for the naval treaty, by which powers signing the tri-lateral limitation pact may protect themselves against com- petitive building by non-signatories. The clause, it was understood, will be considerably broader that article XXI of the Washington treaty, designed for @ similar purpose. By its provisions the navy of any of the three signatory | powers may be increased to meet in- creases in navies of non-signatory powers, with resulting raising of the levels of the other two signatory powers. An American spokesman described the agreement as “virtually completed. He said it was reached by Secretary Stimson and Prime Minister Macdonald just before the premier left for Scot- d to spend the Easter holidays. It was understood the only remaining fea- ture to be settled is wording for in- clusion in the treaty. Morrow Makes Prophecy. Ambassador Morrow, the American member of the treaty drafting com- mittee, set himself up as a prophet this morning and became immediately ular with the American delegation g;prmwunl that they would be able o sign the treaty and still catch the ZLeviathan home next Wednesday morn- ing. He sald that at the rate the com- mittee was progressing they would have the document relndy for sl&:}nure at esday's plenary session. m;the'l‘\i‘v“{h‘: is due to sail from Southampton at about noon Tuesday. 1t obviously will have to be held up to allow the American delegation to get aboard, but probably not later than early Wednesday morning, although the ship's owners offered to delay its departure & full 24 hours.

They were given formal ap- proval at yesterday’s plenary session. Although Aristide d, French foreign minister, already is back in Paris, and departure of Dino Grandi, Ttalian foreign minister, for Rome to- day will leave the Rome delegation without its head, it was said both would return here after Easter to be presen! at next Tuesday’s plenary session, when the treaty will be signed. Controversy Still Exists. The real limits of Italian and French cipation in the treaty which is drawn up here have never been so evident as at yesterday’s plenary session, when announcement was made that original Italian reservations still held. Controversy exists even on just what abstractions are to be included in the preamble. Agreement, it appeared from yesterday’s plenary session, is confined Definition of destroyer and of special and exempt ships; replacement rules to cover ships not mentioned in Washing- ton treaty; a battleship holiday with France and Italy reserving right to build two ships each allowed them in the ‘Washington treaty and never construct- ed; limitation of submarine size and rules for disposal of capital ships and average vessels. The French and Italian attitudes will be explained in detall, it was expected today, at the closing plenary session. The other delegates are expected to keep their speeches short, stressing those as- pects of the parley which were a success rather than those which were failure. 7 HELD, 43 SOUGHT AS RUM PLOTTERS Jersey Police Chief Seized After Indictments in October Raids.

Yates further said this morning that after yesterday's regular noonday Lenten service, at which Dr. Ainslie was guest pastor, he agreed with Dr. Plerce that Dr. Ainslie's attack was “pretty trying medicine” and thereupon went to his office and wrote a “spirited” reply to Dr. Ainslie.

Among those summoned were Herman Brady, brother of Leroy and widower of Mrs. Naomi Hall Brady, to whom the bomb was addressed; Mrs. Ella Brady, his mother, and Emmett Brady, another brother. Herman Brady was the object of many curious stares as he waited in the corridors of the court house to be called betore the jury. Neatly dressed and ruddy-complexioned, he seemed oblivious of the attention that was paid him. His calm, almost cheerful ex- pression drew much comment. Lieut. Joseph Itzel and Sergt. Charles Schalter, Baltimore detective aces, who were assigned to investigate the case by Gov. Ritchie, spent the day in the ante room of the grand jury cham- ber, but were not called. They were ordered to return to Marlboro this morning. INDICTMENTS.PLANNED IN ALLEGED BRIBE PLOT Former State Official, 0il Company Head and Politicians In- volved in Case. By the Associated Press.

FINDING OF DEATH CAR KEYS SEEN AS FIXING BAKER MURDER SPOT Two Intimate Male Friends of Victim Are Questioned by Chief of Homicide Squad- NAMES ARE CAREFULLY GUARDED; VALUABLE EVIDENCE EXPECTED Key Ring Picked Up Quarter of Mile From Place Where Body Was Found Saturday. % (P) Means Associated Press. Two men who, police believe, can aid materially in the solu- tion of the mystery surrounding the brutal slaying of Miss Mary Baker were being questioned today by Lieut. Edward J. Kelly, chief of the homicide squad, as Arlington County officials planned to ex- tend their investigation into the northern neck of Virginia in the hope that some of the girlhood associates of the murdered Navy Department clerk may be able to throw some additional light on the crime. The second important development of the day came when the keys to the murder car on a ring with Miss Baker's doorkey were found on a side road in the Department of Agriculture farm grounds, a quarter of a mile from the spot where the body was discovered last Saturday. A car of the type driven by Miss Baker will run with- out keys to the ignition. The keys were found Saturday by David A. Richmond, a laborer on the farm, who was mowing the grass alongside the main road leading into the grounds. He did not attach any pare ticular significance to them until yesterday, when he reported the discovery to Joseph L. Rhodes, an assistant superintendent of the farm. Rhodes notified William C. Gloth, Arlington County prosecutor, who went over the scene with Detective John Fowler of the Wash- ington homicide squad yesterday. They found a doctor’s bill bearing Miss Baker’s name and a blue bordered handkerchief near the keys. The officials declined to reveal the name of the doctor which the bill bore. Other Missing Articles Are Sought. The finding of the keys and physician’s bill gave a new impetus to the search for the other missing articles. The investigators are particularly anxious to recover the death gun and, as a result, it was decided to drain the irrigation pond on the experimental farm with the hope that it may yield the futilely sought weapon. The pond is not more than a quarter of a mile from the where the keys were found, and the opinion prevails amon; investigators that Miss Baker's slayer may have disposed of -the gun in the water as well as some of the clerk’s articles of clothing, which an exhaustive survey of the territory contiguous to Arlington Cemetery failed to locate. Miss Baker's coat and pocketbook were the object of ome in- tensive search. One of the two colored men arrested Satur for removing a small coin purse and scarf from the abando; death car was taken by Arlington County authorities to the little colored | settlement of Queen City, near the cemetery, to assist in the quest, but no trace could be found. Names of Two Men Are Withheld. The names of the two men being questioned were guarded with [ulmost secrecy, but both are said to have been counted among Miss Baker’s intimate friends, and from them Lieut. Kelly expects to | obtain information of extraordinary value. One of the men, it was revealed, lives in Washington and the other is employed here, but lives outside the District. The interrogation of the two men came at a time when the detectives, Department of Justice agents and Gloth were making little progress in their concerted investigation, and as a result there is a feeling among the investigators that they are finally on a trail | which may lead to_the capture of the slayer. The nature of the information Lieut. Kelly expects to draw from these two men was not revealed, but at police headquarters it was said it would have an important bearing on the case. The names of the two men, it was indicated, were found in the mass of personal correspondence, obtained from Miss Baker's home in Lyon Park, Va., and also from her desk in the file room of the Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy Department.
