Particularly surprising, says that newspaper, was the dispatch received here which quoted Admiral Kato aa saying: “Japan's financial coundition docs not allow the government to expend an enormous amount for naval armament. Consequently the scope of the arma- ments of the Japanese navy must ba minimized irrespective of the decision o? the Jvashington conference.” Newspaper Comment. @ Commenting today upon the alleged statement the Asahj says: *““This is quite contrary to what i3 often declared by the Japanese navy department. The navy department maintains the principlé that the Jap- government should keep in har- K ernments of other “Ja has no imntion whatever to pg her naval armament inde- pmdenuy and on her own accord.

Police Have Not Yet Given Up Hope of Solving Mysterious Death of Bmltlmxfilnspector Allen That (he police are not yet Wllllu‘ to let the tragic death of Building Ifi-}! spector Jobn W. Alling go into the records as an unsolved mysters. is evidenced by the renewed activity on their part to solve the case. Mr. Al- len was run down by a speeding auto- mobile in Stanley Quarter last Aug- ust and died from the results of his injuries. The identity of the auto- ist was never definitely established. Weeks before hs was arrested, former Detective Sergeant Andrew T. Richardson spent considerable time on the case and is said to have ex- pressed himself as more than half convinced that the car was owned and driven by a person employed by a Park street grocer. Attempts to it however were unavailing. was said at the time that the 'person in question was known to have been out in his car on the evening of the tragedy. It was also said that whe he returned the forward part of the machine gave evidence of hav- ing been in some sort of a smash-up. In addition, it was stated that the owner of the car immediately sold it and the alleged driver left the city. This week Plainclothesman Willlam McCue has been running own sup- posed clues and, it is generally un- derstood, has made another effort to tie up Mr. Allen’s death with the Park street auto. The policeman is singularly re- ticent about giving out any informa- tion relative to his investigetions. Stephen Goodrich, arrested Octobér 15 for operating a car recklessly and while under the influence of liquor, pleaded not guilty. Traffic Policeman Jamies Skielly was at the corner of Main and East Main street when "Goodrich drove up Main street The policeman testi- fied that he had previously received a report of the actions of the ac- cused. When Goodrich came along the policeman ordered him to drive to the curb. He was then ordered to stop. Although the car was in motion, Goodrich insisted that he had stopped. Upon investigation the policeman found the accused to be drunk. Accused ‘“Bleary-Eyed.” Joseph Lamb, of the L. F. & C. company, was driving up Main street and was about to go into Commercial street, when Goodrich ran his car across the street. Lamb continued up the street and told Policeman Skelly that the man -was drunk. Asked by Attorney P. F. McDonough how he knew the man was irunk, the factory official replied that he was ‘“bleary-eyed” and acted like a man under the influence of-liquor. Lieutenant Samuel Banforth was in the station when Goodrich was brought in. He told the court that the accused admitted having two or three drinks. The witness testified that Geodrich was “decidedlv under the influence of liquor.” The may was released in bonds several hours later.

GAS STOVE EXPLODES Hurlburt Street Woman and Baby Have a Narrow Escape From Ser- lous Injury Today. Mrs. Timothy Lynch of 37 Hurlburt street, and her young baby, had a close escape from serious injury at their home about 11 o’clock this morn- ing, when a gas stove exploded. Ac- cording to Mrs. Lynch, she had been out on the front veranda of her house, and on entering the kitchen she de- tected strong fumes of gas.

I still believe that the only basis of settle- ment is the resolution recently adopted by the board.” Mr. Hoover referred to the board’s request that the men refrain from striking and give the board a chance to act on questions of further wage reductions or rules changes, that the railroads may bring before it. . Makes No Promises Mr. Hooper stated after the meet- ing that he wanted it understood that he had made no promises for the board or for himself. Mr. Hooper said the only thing he desired to bring before the meeting was the copy of the resolutions pass- ed by the board. “I have done that and they will now take the matter up” Mr. Hooper said. “We were surprised to find out that these men had never officially Teceived a copy of this resolution.
