There is Nothing to Indicate That American-Japan Pact Will Event- | ually Come About to Replace the Old Anglo-Japanese Agreement. e==Open Discussion Favored. Geneva, June 23 (A —Lort Robert Cecil, British delegate to the tri- partite naval conference and Hugh B. Gibson, chief of the American delegation, today held a private meeting to discuss the proposals of their respective countries for fur- ther naval limitation. No advance toward an eventual agreement was made at the confer- ence, the most reliable information being that both confined themselves to an explanation and denfense of their respective proposals. Mr. Gibson told newspapermen that there was no reason for being less optimistic about the outcome of the conference. All Wait Agreement. He saild that the people of the United States, Great Britain and Japan were all anxious to find an agreement and were convinced that only patience and goéod will among the delegates were needed finally to work out a common basis for an accord. “It is natural to encounter discouragement in the solution of individual problems,” he said, “but without this existing, there would have been no need to call the con- ference.” Favoe Open Discussions. + Questioned by an English corres- pondent as to why Washington per- mitted convocation of the confer- ence and proclamation of differ- ences in public without having ne- gotiated with London and Tokyo confidentially in advance in an en- deavor to work out some sort of an agreement beforehand, Mr. Gibson answered that such a procedure would have provoked a general out- cry because it would indicate that the United States was not proceed- ing openly for the discussion of the various problems involved. Mr. Gibson emphasized that he and Viscount Cecil had examined the British and American proposals in an attempt to understand their mu- tual positions and added that noth- ing had occurred thus far which would justity less hopefulness in achieving a final agreement. “Some difficulty lay in the fact that our three navies have different missions and different problems,” he said, “s0 we must find a common denominator for everybody an lutions acceptable to everybody. Cecil Defends Plan It is understood that Viscount Cecil did most of the talking at to- day's private conversation and that in defending the British project, he emphasized the great economies which its adoption would effect through reducing the sizes of indi- vidual warships. It also is under- stood that he characterized the American proposals as lacking in definite scope because they were re- stricted to obtaining maximum ton- uage figures to only three types of euxillary warcraft. 1t is believed that Mr. Gibsen took the position that it was both unwise and impossible to reopen the Wash- ington treaty, as would occur if the British proposal for a reduction in the size of were considered. The American delegate, it is believed, pointed out that the secornd Wash. ington conference, which will be held in 1931, will be convoked before the time arrives for the replacement of any battleships of the great naval powers, and that in 1931 France and Ttaly, who are not participating in the present conterence, will be pres- ent to take part in the discussion ot all problems connected with the sizes of the bigger naval units, including pruisers. Concessions Possible The impression prevails in Geneva that the American delegation is so convinced of the fairness of its pro- Ject that it will not countenance any fundamental changes, although naturally it will be disposed to make concessions on details which are cus- tomary at international conferences. Admiral Viscount Saito, the Jap- anese naval expert, ani Rear Ad- miral Hilary P. Jones, the American expert, are scheduled to hold a pri- vate conversation late today and a meeting of the executive committee of the conference has be:n convoked for Friday morning. 2 Geneva newspapers go so far as to deduce from yestgrday's mecting be- tween Mr. Gibson and Admiral Saito that the United States and Japan seem to be taking the :irst step to- ward an American-Japanese alllance but there are no indications at Ge- neva of such a development. European Views Geneva, June 23 (UP)—Possibil- ity of an American-Jaflanese al- llance, replacing the old Anglo-Jap- anese alllance, was foreseen by some continental political writers today as the outgrowth of the present naval disarmament conference. The Geneva newspaper “Le Gen- evols,” speculating on the chances of such an alliance, points out Gibson's activity in seeking the support of the Japanese delegation against the Brit- (Continued on Page Two) | they shot has not been Fog Off Truro, Mass., Early Today Clyde Line Freighter Rams Steam Trawler—Nineteen Sailors Rescued From Watery Graves But Search For Companions Thuro, Mass, June 23 (UP)— Three men perished, 19 others bare. ly escaped death, one ship was sunk and another seriously damaged in a collision in fog-bound Cape Cod waters five miles off Truro today. The steam trawler Surge of the Bay State Fishing company of Bos- ton, almost split in two by the crash, went down almost immedi- ately, carrying three of the 22 mem- bers of her crew to their death. The other 19 seamen were picked up by the crew of the Clyde Line freighter Ozark, which was then obliged to speed under forced gmn to the other bar off Truro beach. There, ,she was grounded to prevent her from sinking, her forward hold having been flooded by a jagged hole in her lower bow. Surviving members of the Surge's crew reported to Pamet river coast guards here that the three missing men had been carried down with the wrecked trawler. The dead: Patrick Shea, Jamaica Plain. John Crowley, East Boston. Proves Fruitless. Allen Bishop, East Boston. Two men who were rescued as the trawler sank received injuries that required medical treatment. These were William Cotter of South Bos- |ton and Leon Petris of East Boston, a fireman. When the: crippled Ozark was beached early this morning it was feared she might break up under the pounding of the seas. But Capt. H. H. Kelly of the local coast guards, following a visit to the stranded craft, said this afternoon he felt the freighter was in no immediate dan- ger. Coast guard headquarters at Bos- ton had been notified and the de- stroyers Poulding and Jouett and cutter Ossipee were expected to reach the scene this afternoon. Capt. Anderson of the Ozark be- lieved however that a tug would be the only aid necessary to float his ship. The damaged bow could be repaired in a short time by a diver, he thought. The Ozark, in his opin- ion, would then be able to proceed |under her own power. LINDBERGH FLIES TO WASHINGTON; AVOIDS RECEPTION AT DAYTON, OHIO To Give War, Navy and Commerce Departments His Views On Aviation In Europe—New York Tomorrow. ‘Washington, June 23 (®—Charles A. Lindbergh landed at Bolling field at 11:27 a. m. today, having flown here form Dayton, Ohio, in an army airplane. About 200 persons, including & dozen or more women, had gath- cred to see Lindbergh's arrival. There wera no ceremonles at the landing, prior to which Lindbergh and his escort looped in a “V” formation. § Major Thomas F. Lanphier, com- mandant of the First pursult group of Selfridge fleld, Michigan, and Lieutenant St. Clair Street, flew here with Lindbergh. Assistant Secretaries Davison, Warner and McCracken, air officers of the army and navy, and com- merce departments, were present. Field officlals would not allow Lindbergh to be approached by those gdthered to greet him and even made an éffort to kcep secret his destination in the ctiy. Lindbergh was met by officials of |the war, navy and commercq de- partments who will confer with him on his plans and hope to get his views on the development of avia- tion abroad, Dayton, OWo, June 23 (A—Can- celling all previous arrangements for his entertainment made by members of the Dayton reception committee, Charles A. Lindbergh took off in his army pursuit plame from Wright field at 8:42 a. m. to- day headed for Washington. In Washington, Lindbergh s scheduled to meet with army air corps officials_ on matters which he declined to discuss. ; Lindbergh in a brief interview tbefore leaving said he was sorry residents of Dayton were disap- pointed in not getting to see him last night following his arrival, as scheduled, but stated he knew nothing of plans for a reception (Continued on Page 22) TWO COPS, ROBBER DIE IN GUN FIGHT (Girl Involved in Chicago Tragedy Fles From Scene ALL WERE DEAD SHOTS All But One of Seven Shots Fired Found Its Mark in Body of its In- tended Victim—Mystery Woman Disappears. Chicago, June 23 (P—Darkness mantled a triple slaying early today in a north side alley, with no wit- nesses left to tell what happened ex- cept a mystery girl who fled in hor- ror before the roar of the last re- volver shot had died away. ‘Two policémen shot it out with an automobile thief, and the three were killed. The deadly accuracy of their aim was shown by the fact that all but one of the seven shots fired found its mark. The single wild shot was fired by the robber. The policemen dead are Sergeant Thomas Kehoe, 52 years old and Of- ficer James Farley, 32. The man identified. He was about 24 years old. Bodies of the policemen were found on a lawn in front of 4939 North Rockwell street. Kehoe was dead with a bullet over the temple and another in his back. Farley had been shot in the stomach and chest but was living and conscious when police reserves arrived. Dying Statcment “There was—a woman—in the— car—with them,” Farley gasped. “She—ran." It was first believed that the slay- er of Kehoe and Farley had escaped. At the hospital, however, before he died, Farley sald he was sure he had wounded the man. “I had to shoot, and I'm sure I got him,” he said. Police returned to the place and found the robber's body. He had been shot in the heart and the abdo- men. The end of his trigger finger had been shot away, probably by the bullet that entered his abdomen. The ~police officers started thelr last quest for a criminal shortly after midnight when a report was made that a masked man had held up Mr. and Mrs. E. 8. Cooper and taken their automobile and $5 which Cooper had. They came upon the stolen car and the robber near the place where their bodies were found. What hap- pened thereafter is known only to the girl who Farley said was in the automobile with the man. Police belleve that the robber immediately opened fire, shooting five times be- fore his revolver jammed. Farley then dropped him with two shots, after Kehoe had fallen mortally ‘wounded. ADDED EXPOSURES AMONG ECLECTICS §t. Lonis and Kansas Schools Traded Honorary Degrees OTHERS PRICED AT $30 Still Other Dcgrecs Were Bought For $10—Eclectics Score Point in Barring Missouri Court Ruling From Being Introduced. New Haven, Conn, June 23 (®— A story of give and take in honor- leges featured the testimony this morning in the hearing of the ap- peals of 14 eclectic doctors from the revocation by the state board of health of their licenses to practice in Connecticut. It was expected that | Special Attorney General James W. | Carpenter, representing the board of health, would complete the presenta- tion of witnesses some time today. Swapped Degrees Dr. Samuel McCubbin, formerly secretary treasurer of the Eclectic Medical university of Kansas City, testified that in 1921 Dr. Adcox presented him with an honorary de- gree from St. Louis College of Phy- | sicians and Surgeons and he in turn, | bestowked upon Dr. Adcox an hon- orary degree from the Eclectic Medi- ‘cal university. It had been arranged some two years previously, he testi- fied, that the St. Louis College should take over students of the Eclectic university and give them the re- mainder of their training after the latter institution ccased to function. Degrees At $10 Each At the request of Dr. George Munch, then secretary of the Florida eclectic examining board and now serving a five year federal sentence for use of the mails to defraud, Dr. Mciubbin said he issued to wr. Munch seven or ecight degrees at a charge of $10 each. Tt was testified in the proceedings early this year, when Dr. Munch was prosecuted and convicted in the United States district court for the western district of Florida fqr the sale of Florida eclectic diplomas and licenses, that the degrees of the eclectic university had been sold by Dr. Munch for as much as $180 each in some cases. “Honorary” Left Oft Some of these degrees were hon- orary, Dr, McCubin testified, while at 'the request of Dr. Munch the word “honorary” was left off others. Neither Dr. Munch nor those who finally received the degrees had ever i attended the Eclectic university, it was testified.

We might get aw: - even sooner but we have decided that it would be better not to try & hopoff in the day time with the present heat. “There is less lifting power in the heated air of midday and afternoon tkan in the cool atmosphere of early morning. The engines work better at that time too, so we have set on four o'clock in the morning as the best time.” May Race Storm Asked about a second low pressure storm area approaching his air path trom the Great Lakes, Commander Byrd said that if other conditions were favorable he would either ride that storm up the coast or try to ask is a 50-50 break on | he said. “As soon as we get that we'll be off.
