ELEVEN HAN JURY TASE HELD VALD Supreme Court Says Mntual Agreement Legal Method ‘Washington, April 14 (P—Decid- ing & prohibition case from Okla- homa City, the supreme court today held that a verdict of guilty handed down by a jury of 11, after one jury- man had been excused by mutual agreement, was valld and effective. The court upheld the conviction of John Paton, Harold Conant and Jack Baker at Oklahoma City on a charge of conspiracy to bribe Charles Buzzi, a federal prohibtion agent. The defendants had attacked the verdict, not only because of the 11-| man jury, but because they charged that Buzzi had “framed” them after they had paid him on seven previous occasions not to report violations. Urges More Judges Washington, April 14, P—A pro- posal that fourteen additional feder- al judges be appointed as a means of relieving court congestion was advanced today by Representative Backman of West Virgina, a repub- lican member of the house judiciary committee. He urged this program as a sub- stitute for the legislation recom- mended by the Hoover law enforce- ment commission to strengthenen the enforcement of the prohibitior’| laws. The commission’s proposals have encountered considerable op- position. It is understood that both wets and drys are of the belief that the Bachmann plan is a practical means of effecting immediate relief. The West Virginian has embodyed ‘his program in a bill which he pre- pared for introduction today. It is to be brought up for consideration by the judiciary committee on Wed- nesday. The measure would provide an ad- ditional judge for the fifth circuit court of appeals, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Louis- jana, Texas, and the Canal Zone, and ‘would create a southern district in Kentucky and a middle district in ‘West Virginia, with a judge for each. Pive new judges would be allotted 1o the state of New York, and one each to Washington, Louisiana, Georgla, Texas, Michigan, Calitornia, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Two addi- tional judges would be assigned to the supreme court of the District of Columbia. SEN. CAPPER SAYS NAVAL PLAN WILL PASS . §. SENATE (Centinued From First Page) and the Japanese are trying to work out.” Set Definite Date London, April 14 (P)—One week from tomorrow, barring mishaps, representatives of the five great naval powers will affix their signa- tures to the historic pact which has evolved from the London naval con- ference aftér long weeks of difficult negotiations. Announcement to this effect was made at a 24 minute plenary session of the conference in Queen Anne's drawing room in old St. James' palace this noon, Prime Minister MaceDonald officiating as general chairman of the conference. His announcement was the princi- pal development in the whirlwind session, the first complete meeting of the conference since February 11. It originally planned to try to get the treaty drawn up so that it could be signed next Thursday, but the prime minister announced that this was impossible of achievement. As it is, it will be a race against time for the drafters to get the document reslly for the meeting Tuesday, so that the Americans may catch the Leviathan fmmediately afterwards for New York and home. Three Power Agreement The treaty to be signed will be a thres power agreement between Japan, America, and Great Britain covering limitation and reduction of naval craft, and agreement between the five powers, France and Italy included, on such points as human- ization of submarines and capital ship holid Important French- Italian limitation differences are left | unsettled subject to subsequent ne- | gotiations, and there will be a clause allowing any of the three| Powers signing the limitation section | to depart from its terms if mc! building of a non-signatory nation endangers it. Today's plenary session lasted | only 24 minutes, and was merely for | the purpose of getting final formal | approval of committee reports, which constitute the “raw” material for the treaty itself. Mr. MacDon- ald, an old parliamentarian, wasted | no time but rushed the business so | fast that at times he and the official | interpreter foll over cach other's| words. | There was onc interesting break. | ‘When the prime minister asked Sec- | retary Stimson to announce an cle- ment of further agreement between | him and Reijiro Wakatsuki, head of | the Japanese delegation. Secretary | Stimson arose and said that he and | the Japanese had agreed that ex-| changes might be made between the | Jight cruiser and destroyer category | not to exceed 10 per cent of the| category to which the change is| made. The Japanese had asked for | a 15 per cent differential. | New Difficulties Seen London, April 14 (P—New hitches | which have developed to conclusion | of the five power sections of the projected naval treaty were expected | in conference quarters today to de- | lay termination of the parley be- yond Thursday, the day when it had | Dbeen hoped to sign the treaty and | write finis to the negotiations. | There was nothing to indicate however, that the delay would ecx- tend greatly beyond the Easter holi- days, and the American delegation was making its preparations away April 22 or shortly thereafter on the Leviathan for New York. The Housewife Will Receive Tramp’s $30,000 Bequest Springfield, Mass.,, April 14 (UP) — Sixteen years ago, a tramp called at the home of Mrs. John Newton and asked for a bite to eat. The woman gave him food, some of her husband's clothing, and 50 cents. “I may never be able to do anything for you, but again, I may. At any rate I want your address,” the man said. Fortune favored Eugene Stan- ford during the intervening years and Mrs. Newton has been noti- fied that under his will, filed re- cently in Dallas, Texas, she is to receive one-third of his $30,000 estate. situation was, that it no agreement is reached on the controversial sec- tions, they simply can be left out and the treaty written on the basis of those points on which there is agreement. The delegation was said to be re- sponsible for the first hitch with re- fusal to sign a clause on the sq-call- ed compromise between the global and categorical methods of naval measurements for limitation pur- poses. Gloacchino Russo, under- secretary of marine in the Italian cabinet, speaking for Dino Grandi, who is ill, notified the treaty drafting committee that he could not agree to insertion of a clause dealing with limitation method, feeling rather that this question should be sent back to the League of Nations for consideration at a future conference and included in the London pact. Clause Also Bothers The other hitch was in connection with a clause which will release either Great Britain, Japan, or America from the three-power limi- tation treaty if any outside power— France and Italy are contemplated —should begin unusual naval con- struction, varying views are held as to the form this clause should take. One school of thought is that if such an eventuality should arise the three powers should hold a consulta- tion and vote to release the threat- ened member from the treaty. The opposing view is that such national action sould be entirely autonomous, and the justice of the action decided by the threatened nation itself, with duc notice of any decision taken to the other treaty powers. The treaty drafting committee, in which Ambassador Morrow is taking a leading part, worked over Sunday in getting a draft of the document ready to cable home to the five gov- ernments. It was hoped to straight- en out the sections which are still being fought over today or tomorrow and have the draft completed by to- morrow night. The treaty is expected to run about 12,000 and 15,000 words, so the task of putting it on the cable and telegraph lines to four widely separated capitals is not a small ome. Comment on Broadcast Considerable comment was arous- ed in London today by a radio broad- cast of Colonel Stimson to America at 6:30 p. m. yesterday morning in which he estimated 560,000 tons re- duction in the fighting craft of Japan, America and Great Britain as a result of the treaty, and revealed for the first time a total 220,000 tons reduction in non-fighting naval craft. Colonel Stimson said: “We Lave reached the lowest level ®f limitation that T have ever heard seriously dis- cussed.” In his address, which was of some length, he also paid tribute | to the work done American delegates, and hailed the projected treaty as marking a definite end of naval rivalry between the United States and Great Britain. MAN KILLED WHEN CAR HITS TREE IN WINDSOR Aviator, Injured in Crash, Disap- pears After Crash and Is- Unable to Seay How He Got Home. Hartford, April 14 — John F. Burke, 27, of 1437 Main street, was instantly killed yesterday when the automobile in which he was riding crashed inte a free on Poquonock avenue in Windsor at 1 o'clock in the morning.

D. A. Cameron, K. C., has pn--f sente¢ a motion for a new trial on| the grounds of insanity which was| being contested by Neil R. McAr- thur, K. C., crown prosecutor for Cape Breton county. After a three-hour argument by the defense and prosecution Satur- day, the hearing was adjourned un- | til today. Chief Justide Harris inti- | tmated a decision would be given without delay, 50 as to give the de- fense sufficient time for appeal 1o the minister of justice if necessary. An affidavit was presented by Mat- thew Ryan, attorney of Berlin, N H., who came to Sydney and Hali- fax to ald the condemned man. It bore the names of 18 of Anderson's fellow-citizens of Berlin, who said they were in a position to testify to the apparent insanity of Anderson. Another afidavit Dby Anderson’s mother, telling of peculiar actions on his part since an operation when he was a boy, also was offered. | Ryan stated that through lack of knowledge of his client, Anderson’s counsel had been unable to make an insanity plea at the trial. Mr. Cameron contended alleged confessions of guilt made to an of-| ficer were wrongfully admitted at | the previous trial. He said the pris- oner had been arrested some dis- tance from Sydney and after given a drink of rum to warm him up had been invited to talk. Mr. Justice Mellish questioned the right of an officer to gather evi- dence by interrogating the witness. | He said it was apparent that the| trial judge had concluded the rum had not influenced Anderson to talk | freely.

Frank Am- brose, fleld manager, directed a ground search over Long Island by auto and afoot and by telephone.
