Washington still believes a three I pow</.- agreement between Great Britain. Japan and the United States, suspending Battleship replacements until 1935 is possible. Th s would avoid the laying down keels so- 21 battleships by the three powers during that period—costing | a to al of close to $1,000,000,000. The 1 administration would regard that as lan achievement justifying the con I ference. But the outlook for limitation of I auxiliary craft s regarded as tin- | satisfactory here because the Brit|ish piogram, reduced to 50 from the 70 cruisers demanded at Geneva in 1927 is contingent on limitation of the French fleet. Britain, with six-weeks food supply on the Island cannot view with indefference the building of any gigantic submarine fleet which could menace the channel and her main trade artery, the Mediterran ean. Th s situation constitutes the real jeopardy to the famous Hoover MacDonald rapidan agreement. ■Lamp Lighter Diet Hastings, England, ’■*- (UP) — JVhen a lamp lighter failed to report for duty an official called at his home and found the lamp lighter dead in bed in a darkened house, wi h his dog keeping vigil in the room.

Now York. March 22 <U.R) — t’omp'nints regarding the decadence of boxing's flyweight division were forgotten today as fans paid tribute Jo a new 112 pound champion Midg'4 Wolgnst of Phlhidel phln. Wolgnst won the title by decisively drubbing Black Hill of Cuba in the 15-round final of the New Yolk Slate Athletic commission's title tourney at Madison Square Garden last night. The speedy Philadelphian looked every Inch a < hampion and won a’l but two rounds, the first and fifteenth. Billed as a semi-final on the theory that it was not attractive enough to draw a big gate, th-? bout proved a much better contest than the main event in which Kid Chocolate knocked out Al Ridge- 1 wav of I’nion City, N. .1. Th<> undefeated Cuban outcla-s---“d his foe and dropped Ridgeway for four counts of nine before Doing awarded a technical knockout after 2 minutes mid 29 seconds of the second round. Wolgnst may not be east from •he same mold as the flyweight •.rreats of the past, but his exhibition stamped him as a fighter worthy of the title. He thwarted the fiery little Cuba negro at 'very turn and showed the heart of ' real fight made by refusing to accept victory on a foul when hit a terrific blow below the be.’t in the sixth. The new champion has boon boxing for three years. He has been beaten only twice, once on a knockout and once on a decision, bv opponents he subsequently defeated. The victory last night carried recognition as world champion by the New York and Pennsylvania commissions. The National Boxing association, with which th" New York board is not affiliated, recognizes Frankie Genaro as title holder. Until Genaro and Wolgast meet the division will not have an 1 undisputed champion. DOHENY FREED OF BRIBERY BY CAPITOL JURY I CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) heny’s Pan-American Petroleum companies in 1922 and 1923, was convicted lest year of bribery by 1 jury in the same court”oom. Fall was sentenced to serve one year 'n pr son an 1 pay $1.00,00.) fine, by, lustice William Hitz, the same fnde- 1 who presided over the D > I heny trial. Doheny s trial was the oilier end Y’ the $lO 1,000 in cash wh ch th late New Doheny, son of the of ■nan. withdrew from his New York bank account and brought to Fa me night at his hotel apartment here. It is the same SIOO,OOO whicl Fall at first said he borrowed from E B McClean, Washington puhlsher. Fall, free on bond pending an appeal, was too ill at his El Past home to come here to testify. The profit- which Doheny counted on—as high as $100,000,000— for the Elk Hills lease have been blasted by the courts. The supr m oourt inval dated the lease, and also the lease which Fall gave to Harry F. Sinclair's Mammoth oil company on the Teapot Dome Wyo.. naval reserve, branding both as fraudulent and unautho. ized I and Fall as a “faithl ss ptrblic of- | fleer.” Sinclair, too has rerved two ja 1 sentences as the indirect result of the leases, a six-montli term for contempt of court, imposed as a esuß of setting detectives to watch ' the jurors in h s conspiracy trail, :nd a threemonth term for contempt of the senate oil commit- 1 Lee. One of Sinclair’.- lieutenants. Henry Mason Day, servt d four 1 months forth ■ jury espionage. The previous cr initial trials for conspiracy to defraud brought little success to the special gove.nment prosecutors, Atlee Pomeren ■ and Owen J. Roberts. Fall and Doheny n 1926 were acquitted in ebnnec tion with the Elk H Ils lease, and then Fall and Sinclair, alter a mistrial because of the ju y shadow Ing, were acquitted in separate trials in connect on with Teapot Dome. Doheny's picturesque story of being approached by the then secretary Fall, for financial aid, and of the efforts of navy officers to build up a defense for a potential great war in the Pacific, made his defense. The lease terms provided Doheny’s companies should build and fill great storage tank.-- at P arl Harbor, Hawaii, for fuel oil—lifeblood of the fleet —the navy thus us ng its underground reserve oil to “buy" fleet facilities without bothering to attempt the difficult job of getting an appropriation from congress. The famous executive order issued a few months after Harding became president, authorizing the secretary of interior to dispose of the naval reserve 0.1, for the navy, was revoked by President Coolidge after the supreme court formally invalidated the action of Fall there

Doheny’s reply was that the navy and Fall mad a hard bargain. that his companies paid all the oil was worth. o Lewis Lutz Smith Writes About Spring ♦ ♦ Tlie following impressions of the first day of spring, March 21. j were written by Lewis Lutz Smith. 10 year old *son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith of South Third street.
