Under the American disarmament proposal it is intended to complete all these vessels and then add a few more. To what extent the Japanese delegates will press their suggestion for a limitation on naval aircraft is not yet known, but this is expected to be one of the points in connection with naval disarmament that must be ironed out. The American contention is for no limitation and the Japanese, being weak aircraft themselves, are fearful of the possibilities of this weapon. The British, however, find 110 fault with the American position on this question. Their naval aircraft development is fully equal to that of the United States, if not really superior.

In aircraft carriers they lead the world, STORY OF STEWART'S DUAL IDENTITY IS NOT TRUE SAYS HONEYMAN Continued from Page 1, Chance and Mr. Taylor applied to the Surrogate of Suffolk County for appointment as administrators of the estate left by Jean. They already were administrators of Mrs. Honeyman's estate, she being still under legal age in New York. Mrs.

Honeyman countered with an application to the Surrogate, asking that both men be removed as her guardians and required to render an hecounting of all the property entrusted to their care, She made sensational charges to the general effect what they had mismanaged the funds of the estate and had abused their authority over the estate. Both Mr. La Chance and Mr. Taylor have entered general denials. The matter is to come up before the Suffolk County Surrogate for a hearing on Dec.

5. When seen today Henry E. Murphy of Huntington, who with Martin TayJor was named temporary administrator of the Stewart estate by Supreme Court Justice Strong, then Surrogate of Suffolk County, stated that he and Martin Taylor had received the money from the estate as administrators and had turned the same over to Taylor and Leander H. La Chance, as joint guardians of the Stewart daughters, and for his work he had received the statutory fees of 5 percent on the first $1,000, percent on the next $10,000 and 1 percent on all over the first $11,000. In answer to a statement in one of the newspapers that he is erecting a new home, he stated that the home he owned long before he was appointed in connection with the Stewart case was a far more commodious residence than the one he is now building.

PERMITS FOR LIQUOR OBTAINED BY FRAUD LEGAL, COURT RULES Liquor handled o11 basic or withdrawal permits obtained by fraud or through bribery may not be seized by the Government if such permits are legal on their face. This is apparently the substance of a decision made by Federal Judge Edwin L. Garvin in the United States District Court here on the application of Edward J. Hart, former saloonkeeper, of 2316 86th for the return of 966 cases of his whisky, consigned to him and seized by the Prohibition men at the Wallabout on Oct. 26.

The application, was granted in spite of repeated and categorical assertions by the United States Attorney's office that Hart had obtained his permits as a wholesale druggist by misrepresentation and fraud. In his decision Judge Garvin does not go into the merits of the case. He makes the ruling that "the plaintiff's nossession was legal and the legality of the permits which made such possession legal cannot be impeached in this proceeding," on the basis of the practice in law that "a license which appears on its face to have been regularly and duly issued cannot be impeached collaterally, as in an action on a bond or a prosecution for illegal selling on the ground that it was improperly granted." effect of the decision. if it is not overruled by a higher court, is that the liquor will be returned and may not again be seized. Assistant United States Attorney Frederick L.

Kopff, in charge of the case, today sent an inquiry to Attorney General Daugherty at Washington for instructions whether to appeal from the decision. According to Hopff, Hart had stated the Prohibition officials that he was duly doing business as a wholesale druggist and that he had never been in the liquor business, both of which were untrue statements, and that he shad not complied with numerous other regulations of the department before receiving a permit. In spite of the decision Kopff will continue with his John Doe investigation. which begins tomorrow. of the bootlegging situation among Brooklyn wholesale "druggists." There are said 10 be numerous other cases like that of Hart's, where liquor is being handed for beverage purposes on "druggists' permits.

FRANCE ANXIOUS TO JOIN POWERS IN AIDING CHINA Will Surrender Extra-Territorial Privileges If Other Nations Do So.

(By the Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 17--The French attitude in a general way toward the Far Eastern proposals of China was set forth after a two-hour conference of Premier Briand and other members of the delegation today, as follows: First--France desires earnestly to aid China in realzing her aspirations, territorial, political and commercial. Kouang Tcheou, which she leased Second--France would 5 give up from China in 1898, provided Great Britain gave up Wei Hel Wei and Japan, Shantung, leased by the Germans at the same time, and the Port Arther peninsula. Third--France would 1 not be unwilling to surrender her extra-territorial privileges were other powers willing to do the same. France gave up these privileges in Japan in 1906 and was in negotiation with Turkey to give them there in 1914 when the war came.

However. the French feel that extra territoriality should be maintained until it is clear that the Chinese Republic can give adequate security and justice to foreigners. Fourth--The French colony of Indo-China did not belong to China. but to Annam. Consequently, IndoChina, the great French colony, with 25,000,000 inhabitants, does not come in the question, according the French point of view.

If. however, some question should be raised to the rectification of the 900-mile Chinese frontier, the French Government would be willing to discuss the boundary. Fifth--France approaches the discussions of Far Eastern questions in sympathy with Japan's need for expansion and for raw material. The French delegation desires under all circumstances to take a conciliatory and pacific role. Sixth-Frane is for open dealings of the powers with China and against any secret negotiations.

The subject of spheres of influence beyond Indo-China does not seem to be a serious one, because the policy of spheres of influence was replaced more than ten years ago by the policy of the Consortium of Powers. Neverher private interest in Yunan and by theless, France I having due regard to agreement with Great Britain and Kounan Gsi made early in the first decade of this century, would give up this rather intangible privilege provided Great Britain did the same, Britain Studies Issue. "Functioning vigorously," was the term used by British delegates today in describing the activities of the committee appointed by them to consider the proposals made by China yesterday at the meeting of the committee on Far Eastern Questions. The subject of mandated islands is understood to be particularly subjected to a close study in view of a reference by Secretary Hughes yesterday to the matter in the course of his remarks opening the committee session. Naturally the Australian and New Zealand members of the British delegation are deeply interested in this because of the suggestion in some quarters that Japan was preparing to offer to make concessions in the direction of opening to general trade without discrimination the formerly German-owned islands in the Pacific north of the equator allotted to her under the Versailles Treaty, providing the British would do the same for those islands south of the equator, which had fallen to their share.

The American viewpoint is that the open door should prevail for all of these islands. COL. C.T. HUDSON DIES CAUGHT JEFF DAVIS Col.

LEWIS VOTE REDUCED HAGARTY MEN CLAIM Belief that the 13,531 plurality by which District Attorney Harry F. Lewis, Republican, beat William F. Hagarty, Democrat.

for the Supreme Court at the recent election, will be materially reduced on the official tabulation of the vote was expressed today by members of the Hagarty Campaign committee. According to figures in their possession errors were made in the unofficial police tabulation on election night which will cut Justiceelect Lewis' lead to something. less than 5,000. They do not claim that it will affect the result. The chief discrepancy according to their information was in Queens where Hagarty ran more than 4,500 votes ahead of what the unofficial returns gave him and in Suffolk where he ran 3,000 ahead of the police figures.

The police figures on ciection night indicated that, Judge Mitchell May, Hagarty's running mate on the Democratic ticket, polled 25,602 more votes than Hagarty in Queens. Lewis ran only 8,790 votes ahead of Justice Gannon, his Republican colleague. in Queens. This would lend plausibility to the Hagarty committee claim in that county. On the other hand.

May, and Hagarty 1211 almost neck neck in Suffolk while Lewis led Gannon by only 1,552 votes there which would cast doubt 011 the reported Hagarty gain of 3.000 in Suffolk. The official canvass of the votes is now under way and all disputed figures should be settled within the next couple of weeks. U. S. Prepares Full Staff For Embassy at Berlin Washington, Nov.

Stephens Begins Unusual Action Against Building Concern. Mrs. Annie W. Stephens, who is 60 years old, and lives at 80 Hanson has asked Justice Van Siclen in Sitpreme Court to impress her dower claim on property at Newkirk ave. and E.

23d which she sold nine ago in her capacity as executrix of the estate of her husband, Benjamin F. Stephens, who died in 1903. The action, brought through I. T. Flatto as her attorney, is directed against the George M.

Craigen builders, who now: own the property, having pur- chased it from the Peter Larson Compary, which obtained it from Robert Morgan, the man who purchased it from the executrix of the Stephens estate. Mr. Morgan stated that the purchase was effected through Charles S. Taber, an attorney, then representing the Stephens estate. The deed indicates that she transferred the property as executrix and no mention was ever made of the property being subjeet to any dower rights until recently, when Craigen, who owns the concern bearing his name, was served with the summons and complaint.

An interesting feature of the situation is that the property, vacant when Mrs. Stephens conveyed it, has been improved by Craigen with six houses. He has spent $80,000 or more in building, and the Title Guarantee and Trust Company insured his title to it' as being free from any cloud. Edward M. Perry, an attorney for the title company, defending the action, told the court "under the title insurance was based, other things, on a lack of any action by Mrs.

Stephens to impress her dower on her husband's estate within a year after the probate of the will. To this Mr. Flatto responded that the property was vacant then and she could not "move into it" or five physical evidence of possession. The will of Mr. Stephens has never before been construed, although it is somewhat complicated.

Mrs. Stephens got one-third of it for life. that share to go to her children after her death. The rest of the estate was disposed of in similar trusts. It is now claimed that Mrs.

Stephens never eigned away her dower rights and that she is still entitled to them. Whether that right is to be measured by the property as It existed when' she deeded it or as it now is one of the questions which will be determined if the first riddle is solved favorably to her. The records were filed with Justice Van Siclen today and a decision is expected shortly. TO SPEED TRIAL OF CRIMINAL CASES Beginning Monday all five parts of the County Court will be devoted to the trying of criminal cases. There will be no civil cases tried until after the first of the year.

The program was decided upon by County Judge Mitchell May and District Attorney Harry E. Lewis in an effort to clean up the criminal calendar of the court before they assume their duties as justices of the Supreme Court, to which office they were elected on Nov. 8. Tentative plans have been made, gage an up-State judge to sit in the Court buildings no this morning, to enaccording to rumor in the County trial of defendants charged with violations of the Mullan-Gage A Act. There are now 400 of these cases on the court calendar and, since each one 1S entitled to a trial by jury under the law, it has been found necessary to engage the services of an extra judge.

It is expected that possibly the building of the old Children's Court will be used for the trial of the liquor cases, since the parts of the County Court will be all taken up with the trial of criminal cases.

GIRL OF 15 TRICKED BY MOCK MARRIAGE A 15-year-old girl, Elizabeth Hilbert, of 246 Suydam appeared in the Children's Court today after she had been missing from her home for two weeks and living, according to her story, as the "wife" of a man she "married" at a mock ceremony at a barn dance. The girl disappeared on Nov. 3.

Her father, Joseph, notified the police and Detective George O'Connor, of the Missing Persons Bureau, was put on the case. Yesterday afternoon O'Connor found the girl at DeKalb and Knickerbocker aves. and placed her under arrest. She was later removed to the Children's a Society, to which Justice Levy today remanded her for further investigation. The story she told the police officer was that she was taking a walk on the day of her disappearance when she and two other girls were invited into a motorcar by three men, who took her to a barn dance of a yacht club at Springfield, L.

I. There she found a man dressed to represent a minister who performed a mock marriage between her and one of the men. She was given a certificate. Later her "husband" told her that the minister and the certificate were genuine and bullied her into living with him. The police have been supplied with the names of three men involved, as well as those of two other girls who went with Elizabeth to the barn dance but did not take their own mock marriages seriously.

TO PUT I BAN ON GAME of the State Department and has had no diplomatic status. In order to confer full authority on him to handle the affairs of State with the German Government, it was thought best to have the Senate approve his appointment as Charge d'Affaires, thus making him a member of the American Diplomatic Corps. It was further explained that the appointment of an Ambassador to Germany would matically remove Mr. Dresel front service in the State Department. Regarding the reported sailing of a Charge d'Affaires from Berlin to install a German Embassy in Washington, it was said that nothing further had been heard here regarding Germany's plans.

The German Embassy was not taken over by the United States during the war period. The Embassy building still is the property of the German Government.

O'RYAN TO NEW CITIZENS Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan, commander of the 27th Division overseas and now member of Governor Miller's Transit Commission, made the address of welcome to 43 men of six nationalities just before they took their oath of United States citizenship before Judge Garvin in the United States District Court here today. General O'Ryan said that during the war he had seen acts of bravery and humanity by men of all nationalities and "among men of the army, who saw that sort of thing, when we hear the American language spoken with an accent it is music in our ears.

We found that people are the same all over the world." A delegation from the Colonial Dames was present. THICK FOG SLOWS UP TRAFFIC IN HARBOR A fog which was almost thick enough cut into blocks like ice tor converted the harbor into a vague. mysterious expanse today. It obliterated the distant scene, destroyed perspective and shut oft the background like a drop-curtain. On the waters all traffic felt its way cautiously.

In the early morning harbor craft were almost at a standstill, the headway of the boats was greatly diminished and the big ocean carriers were, held in the lower harbor. The United Fruit liner Santa Marta from Cuba and South American ports was held at Quarantine waiting for the curtain to go up. The same was the case with six cargo boats. The big Canopic of the White Star Line 'lay to off the Highlands, so did the Bermuda steamship Fort Hamilton. The Staten Island boats were from one to three minutes late each trip and at 8:15 were ten minutes behind schedule.

The 39th st. Brooklyn terries were also several minutes late. Forecaster Scarr dipped into the archives of the Weather Bureau and counted up the foggy duys so far this month. He announced that there had been eight days, on each of which there was some fog, but that the fog today appeared to be the densest so far. Mr.

Scarr predicted more rain, which may last into tomorrow with warmer weather this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow morning and appreciably colder weather tomorrow night following a change in the direction of the wind. The weather might get cold enough to hit the freezing point, he said. At any rate, it should not miss that point by much. "It is possible." said he, "that the rain will wind up with a snow, furry, that is very doubtful" Contest Between Erasmus and Chicago Team Called Off. Brooklyn Prep Willing.

L. across the river. Mr. Croohe. 98 a result, has renewed his negotiations for a game with De Witt Ciinton, claimants of the title in Manhattan.

for a game on Nov. 20. The matter is still hanging fire. When Erasmus was turned down on the proposition of the intersectional game, it was rumored that Poly Prep would put in its bid. This report wits put to rout today by Coach Herbert Bohnet, who declared that under no circumstances would the Heights institution violate its ruling of long standing, which prescribed that no post-scason games shall be played.

The matter was brought to the attention of Brooklyn Prep and it is said the Crown Heights eleven will arrange 0. game if possible. Brooklyn Prep is as much entitled to meet the Chicago champions as any other team in the boro. Coach Kane's aggregation is the only one in the bore that has not been scored upon.

BANK USES FUNDS TO RUN ANOTHER BUSINESS, CHARGE That the American Corporation for International Commerce, of 320 5th Manhattan, is merely an adjunct of the Bank of the United States and a vehicle for making profits by the use of bank funds, was the charge made before Justice Callaghan and a jury iti the Supreme Court this afternoon by former Assistant District Attorney Albert Conway. The statement was the opening of the suit brought by Gerard M. Wildes. of 169 Rugby to recover some $97,000 from the American Corporation which he claims is due as commissions for purchases he made and transactions he conducted here, in France and in other countries. Some of these deals consisted of acquiring large lots of army and government supplies which became surplus after the war.

In the answer the corporation claimed that B. K. Marcus. said to have made the contract with Wildes, had no authority to act for the concern in any such transaction, and it was to upset that defense that Mr. Conway brought to light the relations of members of the Marcus family to the Bank of the United States and the corporation which is being sued.

Mr. Conway declared that he would show that B. K. Marcus, vice president the bank, 'is also vice president of the American Corporation for International Commerce, and that he. in his office in the bank, at 320 5th transacted a great deal of business for and in behalf of the American corporation, which has offices in the same building but on 8 different floor.

C. Lionel Marcus, who is also a vice president of the bank, is presigent of the American corporation, and Joseph S. Marcus, father of the other two, is vice president and treasurer of the corporation. Joseph Fields, brother-in-law of B. K.

and Lionel, is secretary of the corporation. Mr. Conway also declared that the denial of the authority of B. K. Marcus, through whom Wildes dealt with the corporation, was not well founded for the further reason that a private I telephone line had been installed from B.

K. Marcus' office in the bank to the corporation offices upstairs and the bank paid the bill. Jacob I. Berman and Henry J. Pollock appeared for the defense to fight Wildes' claim.

TRANSIT B'D PLANS 75 P. C. CUT IN BOOK VALUE OF R. R. STOCK Continued from Page 1, hire an appraiser and get an appraisal in order to determine I it "That would be one way," responded Gaynor.

"If this particular item were ap. praised as valueless it would mean a difference between a surplus ad a defelt on the company statement," declared Shearn. Through Frederick W. Lindars the Commission placed in the record 'figures showing that the Interboro ing 1917-18-19 paid dividends of more than $7,000,000, which were not earned during those years and which were made up by borrowings aggregating about $3,000,000, plus what had actually been taken in in revenues above operation costs. James L.

Quackenbush, counsel for the T. R. objected to the manner in which this evidence was presented on the ground that it might insinuate that the I. R. T.

had paid earnings out of capital. which he said was a state's prison offense. Lindars also placed in the record testimony regarding stock values. He said that the total face value of the transit securities issued by all lines in the city was $1.165,849.431, of which $850.228,126 was held by interests and persons other than the companies. The remainder, he said, represented either securities held in the treasuries of the companies, or issues made to absorb and pay off other issues.

He had worked out the market values of the securities, but in all instances where there were no market quotations he had used par values. In view of this Mr. Shearn refused to permit him 'to place in the record his total of market values, declaring that it was far too high. It was learned afterward that the totals prepared by Lindars showed the stock value at somewhere between five or six hundred million dollars. or between 50 and 60 percent of the grand total.

Officials of the Commission said that when this value was reduced by reducing the par values to figures based on appraisals or actual values, the total would very likely be not more than 25 percent of billion dollar total, which would indicate a cut of 75 percent in the paper value of the securities of all the lines as set forth by their security books. Interest Defaults Total $47,046,919. Lindars also showed that the total default in interest payments by all the companies aggregated $47,046,919 up to June 30, 1921, of which $24,249,791 was due on bonds, $6,330,481 on other certificates of indebtedness and the remainder on stocks. The total of more than $47,000,000, he said, would be increased to $51,464,026 by accruals during the remainder of the present year. one eleven Cigarettes The Three Inseparables One for mildness, VIRGINIA One for mellowness.

The Kings County Medical Society and the American Society for the Control of Cancer, which was the instigator of the recent Cancer Week, had no statement to make on the bureau, referring questioners to the American Medical Association Journal report as to their position in the matter. The quadruple organization has its offices in a distinctive looking onestory building just west of 7th ave. The interior and furnishings are elaborate and imposing. It the whole building, which is cut up into cubicles, some oflices, some consulting rooms, some reception parlors.

The Medical Journal describes the bureau as follows: "Medical journals and some other technical publications have recently received what purport to be items of news sent out by the Medical News Bureau of 77 7th Brooklyn. "The manager of this alleged bureau is D. E. Wooley. One of these items starts with the statement, attributed 1.0 Mme.

Curie, that cancer can be cured by radium and then continues: 'Cancer can be cured by the use of selenium and tellurium, more plentiful and less costly says F. W. Humphreys of Brooklyn, an American born student of chemistry who has devoted years to the study of cancer. "For the purpose of further developing methods of control and treatment of disease by the use of selenium and tellurium, discovered by a number of local scientists, chemists and physicians, the Basic Cancer Research has been organized and efficient laboratory established at '847 Union Brooklyn. Mr.

Humphreys, one of the organizers of the new institution, estimates that within ten years, Cr perhaps less, time cancer will no longer be considered a fatal disease." May Be the Joker. "Perhaps the joker here," says the American Medical Association's official organ, "is the Basic Cancer Research of 847 Union Brooklyn." The article goes on to state that newspapers are approached by Mr. Wooley from a different angle, under the name of the Cosmopolitan Cancer Research Society, located at the same address. "According to such information as we have been able to get." continues the Journal, "the president of the Basic Chemical Corporation of America, located at 77. 7th Brooklyn, whence the Medical News Bureau emanates, is F.

W. Humphreys, who is alleged to have devoted years of study of the cause of cancer. We are informed that Mr. Humphreys was for a while in the employ of a chemical company in Philadelphia and has been in the photographic line down in Virginia. Later he was connected with a real estate concern in Brooklyn.

"Another officer of the Basic Chemical Corporation of America is said to have been in the grocery line in 41 small village in Missouri, selling out and later going to Brooklyn, where ho entered the insurance business. "Still another officer was in the fish business. In addition to these three officers, there are two directors, one of whom is in the fancy grocery line, and the other a local practicing physician in Brooklyn, whose name we find in the propaganda department file of the Journal of the American Medical Association under Sanmetto and Arse- nauro." Wooley Listed as Press Agent. "It it worth noting that name of D. E.

Wooley appears in the list of press agents and the interests repregented published in 1909 by the American Newspaper Publishers Association. He represented the National Association of Piano Dealers. Is this the gentleman now acting as press agent for the Basic Chemical Corporation of America? If so, it may be that the the piano trade has caused Mr. Wooley to turn from musical instruments to cancer cures." Asked about the cancer stamps which the bureau has been distributing in like manner to the Red Cross Christmas stamps, Mr. Wooley said that this was only a temporary measure; that it has been discontinued.

Asked in what way the receipts from the stamp sales and the money from the patients went toward cancer reseurch work, he said that though the bureau was incorporated the profits were not turned in toto over to the stockholders but that a part was devoted to research work. "Who is the donor of the $100,000 you offer for a cancer cure?" he was asked. "That must remain a mystery. It is sufficient that the money is there when the discovery is made. I could not break aL confidence, and I gave my word to the donor that his name would not be disclosed." "Do you use radium?" "No." "Do you use an X-ray." "No." "What do you use?" "Diet principally and medicine, Our work is largely preventative "Where is your sanitarium?" "We have none.

We. treat all patients right here in this office." "How is it that you have so many names?" "We have but one. We are the Cosmopolitan Cancer Research Bureau. Tho others have been abandoned."
