Washington reports indicate Japan will accept the Hughes naval plan only with an understanding on Pacific fortifications. British sources say Tokyo may press for a higher ratio if Pacific defenses stay strong. Talks between Mughes, Kato, and Balfour are said to seek to ease tensions, but no guarantees were disclosed.

Man Charged With Manslaughter In Double Fatal Crash
Harry Fucazy of 206 Union Street Brooklyn was arraigned yesterday after noon pleading not guilty and was held for trial in the Superior Criminal Court. Coroner John J. Phelan found that reckless speed and disregard of safety on an unfamiliar road rendered Fucazy criminally responsible for the deaths of George W. Dilworth 27 of Westport and Giovanni Accarino 52 of Brooklyn. Dilworth died after a head on collision near Nash's corner Westport while New York car from opposite direction crashed into his car. Both men died in Norwich hospital the same day. Investigations continue into a theory the New York car was tied to whiskey running.
