A=2 «s PRESIDENT PRAISES Ratification of Historic‘Doc- ument Is Voted by Senate 58 to 9. (Continued Prom First Page) Hoover, or any other President, would be strong enough to bring Congress to make the necessary appropriations to build all the treaty ships. There are pacific forces, he said, who would be able to prevent such aciion. Many of the Senators who voted againet Senator Walsh's Teservation would have been glad to support the propozition if presented separately and many of them will vote for a naval rogram to carry out his idea of build- gx up to the treaty strength. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, one of those who favors a treaty Navy up to full strength, pointed out that the matter had no place on the resolution of rati- fication, -but was strictly a legisiative matter in which the House must be considered as well as the Senate. Decline to Act on Power Group. ‘The Senate, as soon as it had ratified the treaty and then listened to a speech by Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Democrat, attacking President Hoover because he had not sent to the Senate the nominations of the new United e States Tariff Commission, adjourned sine die. It did not wait until today to act upon the nominations of the Presi- dent’s appointees to the new Federal Power Commission, which were report- ed favorably to the Senate yesterday afternoon from the committee on inter- state commerce. Those will have to go over until next December. Senators Mc- Kellar of Tennessee and Walsh of Mon- tana, Democrats, objected to the nomi- 'nations being considered yesterday.

By the Associated Press. ‘The London naval treaty of 1930 to which the Senate yesterday voted its consent to ratification by President Hoover will limit for the first time in history all categories of fighting ships for the three major powers of the world. Outstanding so far as the American Navy is concerned is the recognition of the theory of parity, or naval equality, in all classes of ships between the Brit- and American navies. Japan se- res parity in submaries with Great in and the United States and high- itios than the 5—5—3 of the Wash- arms treaty in categories of aux- vessels. s British te Lose Five Ships. After & brief and conventional pre- amble the London treaty provides for the non-replacement of capital ships permitted the three major naval powers under the Washingion agreement. France and Italy, however, are permit- ted the replacement tonnage ihey were entitled to lay down in 1927 and 1929, Great Britain shall dispose of five cap- ftal ships, the United States ihree and Japan one under the terms of article 2 to reach the parity of uie Washington pact at once instead of in 1941, Each, however, may retain one vessel for training purposes. Aircralt car- riers, partly limited under thc Wash- ington agreement, will now also be limited under 10,000 tons, The Wash- ington limitation applied oniy to car- riers of above 10,000 tons. The size of submarines, with the exception of {hree for each power which may total 2,800 m& are limited by the treaty to 2,000 8. Small ships of under 600 tons, and ships the fittings of which make them of little combat value, are exempted from limitation. A considerable part of the treaty is given to the citation of rulee for the replacement of ships, dis- posals, scrapping and dismantling to provide ships- for training purposes, Cruiser Provisions, TInsisted upon as & rulé by the United Btates, the trealy provides only for & division of cruiser sizes as between those carrying guns of more than 6.1-inch calibre and those carrying guns of less than 6.1-inch calibre, rather than by tonnage in the sub-category. Destroyers are limited to 1,850 tons with a gun ealibre maximum of 5.1 inches. Destroy- ers are further limited to 1,500 tons ex- cept for 16 per cent of the total ton- hage in the category of each nation which may be over this figure. In the larger type of cruiser—usually referred to as “eight-inch cruisers,” the United States is limited to 18, Great Britain to 15 and Japan to 12, with an addi- tional provision that the United States shall not complete the last three larger: cruisers before 1936. One of the most important provisions of the treaty is contained in article 21, the so-calied “escalator clause.” stip- ulating the contingencies under which one of the contracting parties may ex- ceed the limitations of the treaty. The clause was written mainly at the re- quest of Great Britain, which feared the possibility of excessive building by her neighbor, France. | T The Shamrock V, ir Thomas Lipton's THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

BALTIMORE, July 22.—There are at least 19 cases of typhus fever scattered over the State of Maryland, according | to authorlties of the State Department of Health. This is the largest number of cases of this diseasc found at one time in the State, it is said. The disease is not contracted by mere | contact with the sufferer, it is believed, but is transmitted by an insect parasite, which carries the organism of the dis- ease in its body. It is thought that the insect may live on domestic animals and that the disease may be transmitted to man in this manner, | ‘The mertality in the disease is about ! 20 to the 100.gases, it is said. . ‘The work is under the direction of Dr. R.

LONDON, July 22.—The House of | Commons will proceed immediately 'l(h’ were determined today to prevent a re- ' the further consideratiop of the bill for | currence of such dlslurblnrl.s A8 yes- | giving effect to the London naval treaty, , terday, which caused 6 deathi and 237 { Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in- | formed the House this afternoon. Asked by former Premier Stanley Baldwin whether it was necessary that | noinecing that the subversive movemént | the second reading of the bill take place tomorrow, or whether it would be left over until the Autumn, MacDon- old replied that the bill would be con- sidered on its second reading tomorrow. “I have made further inquiries about the bill,” the prime minister said, “and I think that under the circumstances it would be very advisable if the second reading were taken now, especially after the ratification of the treaty by the United States Senate yesterday. “We thereforg propose to take in view of the debate of yesterda: which the und has been so well covered. 1 thnk that consideration of the bill on second reading might be reasonably brief.” Labor Survives Attacks. The Labor government's naval pro- gram met and survived attacks from two sides of the House during debate yesterday on the naval estimates. A Laborite, Comdr. J. M. Kenworthy, made & first motion 1o reduce the esti- mates by a nominal sum, on the grounds that they were too high. When this had been overwhelmingly defeated by 239 votes to 27, Comdr. A. R. J. Southby, Conservative, introduced a second motion to the same effect. ‘This motion met a similar fate to that o'; 1l!;spl'edeceml, being rejected by 219 In both votes Prime Minister Mac- Donald had heavy majorities. Comdr, Southby’s motion was a purely formal means of expressing disapproval ol the naval program, which the Con- servatives contend is inadequate to the needs of the empire. As the debate was drawing to a close, the news was flashed to the House that the United States Senate had ratified the Naval Treaty. Prime Minister MacDonald, on learn- ing it, exclaimed: “Splendid, I am tremendously pleased. This puts Amer- ica in the place she is out to occupy in these matters. The decision is most timely.” Lord of Admiralty Delighted. A. V. Alexander, first lord of the ad- miralty, exhibited great delight and quickly passed on the news of the Sen- ate's decision to the other cabinet min- isters and the members of the House. Mr. Alexander referred both to the French and the Italian attitudes to- ward the treaty. “There is no one in this house who desires more earnestly than I do that there should be a speedy agreement be- tween France and Italy to adhere to the limitations proposals of part three of the treaty,” he said. ““We who were in the conference, who negotiated direct with the leading dele- gates of France and Italy, know that they have not a single moment’s anx- . lety about the Labor government's re- | placement program within the limited tonnage of the ireaty. “I would say this, we ar« quite pre- pared, as soon as France and Italy have agreed to the principle of limita- tion on which the three oceanic pow- ers are already agreed, to say ‘Let us confer again together and see how far we can go.' ¥ “Surely the first prihciple now to be adopted is for France and _taly to say that ‘Great Britain, America and- Ja- pan, having nut their cards on the table and agreed to the principle of limi- tation, we will also adhere to the same principle, and then to confer as to what the next steps shall be.” Comdr, Kenworthy's motion drew some support in the Labor back benches but was easily defeated. ‘The Labor member asserted that the British program was a_menace to peace | pe. because it involved a further piling up of armaments. “I-am going to vote for reduction of the estimates,” he said, “and even if I defeat the government, its life is not to be compared with the millions of lives that will be lost in the great war which is inevitable if we continue un- checked this policy of the nations build- ing against each other.” WALTER B.

Quinter filed an affi- davit in the Probate Court in which he sets forth that he is entitled under the will to select what charitable pur- poses are to benefit under the will, as the testator devised the remaining estate to him individually and not as trustee., Elizabeth R.

CAMPBELL ABANDONS ALIBI, BUT DENIES (Continued From First Page) noon preceding the night of the murder, and that about 5:30 o'clock on that same afternoon he was driving by Sev- snteenth and B streets, where Witnesses have said at 6 o'clock they saw & man | in a y cap beating the girl in her | parked automobile. Campbell reluctantly admitted he had | been out that afternoon with a married woman residing - near Dupont Circle, { with whom he had been on friendly : terms before his marriage. wom-= an,” whose name is known’to the au- | thorities, was to be questioned today. It H is understood detectives had talked with | her some time sgo and that it was, largely from her statements that the | case against Campbell was worked up. | Campbell told Gloth, Kelly and | Sheriff Fields that he met this woman | by appointment at the Investment | Building about 2 o'clock on the after- | | noon of April 11, drove with her around | the Lincoln Memorial and thence across | the Key Bridge to Ballston, Va.. where they turned around and drove back to | Rosslyn and thence to the Sheridan Gate “culvert, where they parked for | about 20 minutes. Prom there, the | prisoner said, he took his companion { back to the city and left her at her home some little time after’s o'clock. | Passed Seventeenth and B Streets. | From there, he continued, he drove along southward to Virginia avenue 'A'li { Fourteenth and B streets and thence over the Highway Bridge to his home in nearby Virginia. “In going from Virginia avenue to Fourteenth and B streets” Kelly in- terjected, “you had to pass by Seven- teenth and B streets, did you not?” “Yes, 1 sup) 1 did” the real| estate man replied. “And that must have been about 5:30 o'clock on the evening of April 11, was it not?” Kelly persisted. “It_ must have been about that time," Campbell sald. g Campbell knew what his inquisitors were driving at, but he did not flinch. At about 6 o'clock on the fatal eve- ning three witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh R. Wood and Francis Rice, de- clared they saw a heavy-set man in a grly cap beating a young woman in er automobile, parked near Seven- teenth and B streets. The witnesses sald they glimpsed the woman's face as she lifted it above the door of the car and saw blood streaming from her mouth and a look of horror in her eyes. Car Has Been Identified. ‘The car has been identified as that of Mary Baker, but the identity of the man in the {,r:dv cap has not been definitely established, due, investigators believe, to the fact that the three wit- nesses were so engrossed in the condi- tion of the woman that they failed to gain a lasting impression of the facial characteristics of her assailant. Mr. and Mrs. Wood and Rice were brought into the prosecutor’s office at Arlington County Court House yester- day afternoon and were instructed to look carefully at Hermann Barrere ‘and Campbell, who had been stationed be- side him. Campbell had been brought into the room just previously under the impression that he was to be asked to identify Barrere. Miss Olga Skinher and Miss Mildred Sperry, cotenants with the murdered girl, and Park Policemen Hammond and Spears also observed the two men, After the imspection the prosecutor | told newspaper men the witnesses had | been unable to identify Barrere, .but | early today he hinted there had been at teast a partial identification of Campbell. “There was no positive identification of Campbell,” Gloth added. Convinced of Innocence. Mrs, Campbell declared this morning after a talk with her husband that she is convinced of his innocence, and that she expects to prove that he had noth- ing to do with the crime. Mrs. Campbell said that the accused man’3 brother, Frank Campbell, spent last night checking up on the prisoner’s movements and succeeded in establish- ing an alibi for him. From intimate knowledge of my hus- band’'s movements at the time of the killing,” Mrs. Campbell said, “I know positively that he is innocent and I will |stlnd by him to the last.” Frank Campbell sald that a lawyer had not yet been retained in_his brother’s behalf. He indicated, how- ever, that Charles Henry Smith, promi- neln!dMl'xlnd a attorney, will be con- sulted. Visit Accused Man. Mrs. Campbell and her brother-in- law were cloeted with Campby} for approximately 15 minutes this morning. It was believed that they secured from him additional information which*they will attempt to weave into the alibi they are building up for him. Mrs. Campbell was crying as she emerged | from the jail to be driven rapidly away by the brother-in-law. Commonwealth’s Attorney Gloth said that further questioning of the accused man would be deferred until the ar-| rival from Washington' this afternoon of Lieut. Kelly and Department of Jus- tice representatives. Gloth_announced this morning that | George E. Garrett, former county sur- veyer, would be questioned concerning | the case this afternoon. Garrett is un- | derstood to have taken careful meas- | | urements of the scene of the crime and the immediate vicinity at the request | of Gloth. | Campbell told his questioners today he would voluntarily have told the truth so as to clear Barrere, had he thought the latter faced indictment as a result of his accusation. When the two men met in Gloth's office yesterday, they greeted each other cordially and | shook hands. Barrere’s connection with the case, however, is not at an end, Lieut. Kelly made clear this morning. While he no | longer is charged with the murder, Kelly explained, there are certain angles of Barrere's alibi that remain to be checked before he can be cleared of any possible involvement. At any rate, the State will hold him as an important | prosecution witness against Campbell, who was his former employer. Campbell caused Barrere's arrest by his allegation that the itinerant painter could have stolen the gun from his (Campbell's) residence the day before the murder, when the painter visited Campbell's house to make an estimate BAKER MURDER low tones as two deputies stepped aside as a matter of courtesy. Frank's voice was broken. After talking together for about 10 minutes, beneath the tall trees which cast their eerie moon shadows on the barred windows of the jail, the pair shook hands again and Frank Campbell hurried away from newspaper men to :1! car, parked in the rear of the court ouse. Campbeil approached the steps of the' jail, flashlights of ne per camera- men gl but”the. prisoner. did. ot wirce. He walked briskly up and disappeared behind the ji doors. Waiched for Some Time. Campbell had been under surveillance from the moment he turned the fatal gun over to Arlington County police some weeks ago. Dr. Wilmer Souder, expert on ballistics, of the Bureau of Standards, readily identified the .32- caliber revolver as the one from which the bullets had been fired into Mary Baker's body. In turning in the weapon, Campbell told Sheriff Fields that he always kept the revolver in his home, but that, much to his surprise, he had found it in his desk at his real estate office, not far from his home, after his suspicions had been aroused by the inquiries made of him by a mysterious stranger, distin- guished by a wart on his nose. Campbell, at the time, asserted that this man, ‘who was past middie-age and gray-haired, had visited his office some weeks after the murder and asked him if he had mann Barrere,” Wh cording to his origipal tale, told the man he had not, the stranger asked the real estate man if he had a gun and where it was located. Campbell s left suddenly, and that stranger’s curious remarks, went to his house and made a search for the gun in the chiffonier, where he usually kept it, but could not find it therc Then he searched his office, and was surprised to locate it in the drawer of his desk. Justice, Washington Detective Bureau and Arlington County agreed at the time that Campbell's story was “too fantastic to be credible.” They did not let the realty operator know, however, that they doubted his story, but from that time on he was under suspicion and his movements on the day of the ctime were being carefully checked. Barrers Regarded Key. In view of this disclosure, it is now believed the authorities at no time were convinced that Barrere was the actual murdered, although, as they often an- nounced, they regarded him as a key to the solution of the mystery. Barrere was arrested in Montreal last Sunday night when he walked into po- lice headquarters there, under the in- fluence of liquor, and reported that he had been “gyped” out of a $50 bill by a stranger from whom he had ordered two pints of whisky. Montreal authorities recognized Bar- rere from his picture on a Washington goll:e ¢éircular, and he readily admitted is identity, professed surprise that he was wanted for the murder of Mary Baker and expressed willingness to re- tu]r‘n to Wrishington and “clear him- It did not take Prosecutor Gloth, Lieut. Kelly and Department of Jus- tice Agent Samuel Hardy, who went to Montreal and returned with the pris- oner, long to express their doubts about Barrere’s guilt. He€ told a straightfor- ward story of his business relations with Campbell, said the latter had a grudge against him as a result of real estate litigations in which one of Barrere's friends had figired, and cited the names of half dozen persons who, he declared, could prove he was elsewhere than at the murder scéne on the night of April Kelly Caations Campbell, As last night's inquisition began Lieut. Kelly was heard to remark: “Campbell, you want to think care- fully before you answer these questions we are going to ask you. I think it is only fair that you should know we have checked you more closely than you ever realized. Think hard, and take your time answering.” Kelly then read to Campbell his original statement of his movements at the time the Baker girl was ridiug to her death. In his statement Camp- bell had said he took his son to a Boy Scout meeting about the time Mary Baker was being attacked at Seven- teenth and B streets and that he spent most of the remainder of the cvening with his family at Oakcrest. Kelly told Campbell that the au- thorities knew this alibi to be untrue. ‘Yes,” Campbell ejaculated. “And I'm sorry that I lied to you that way. The only reason I did it was to pro- tect my wife from having me mixed up in it.” Tells of Auto Ride.

Smith and their son Willard, summoned s alibi witnesses for Barrere, that they would no_longer need to wait around but should come back to the eourt house today. Campbell had been in the prose- cutor’s office for several hours at that time, and Gloth announced a few mo- ments after the departure of the Smiths that he and Kelly and the sheriff were going to devote all their time to ques- tioning Campbell, “until dayb, it necessary.” Miss Edith Heiner, another alibi wit- ness for Barrere, also was excused and told to come back today. From this newspapermen readily gleaned that Campbell suddenly had loomed more important In the case than Barrere.
