ITALY FORCING
NAVAL CONTEST,
FRANCE FEARS
Duce’s Building Program to
Stir Up Old Race of
Armaments, Is Charge.
Bu United Peru*
PARIS, May 3 —The Italian naval
building program as announced
earlier this week can result only in
anew armaments race, in the opin
ion of competent naval and gov
ernment quarters in Paris.
A detailed study of Italy’s an
nouncement of her intention to lay
the keels of at least twenty-nine new
naval ships this year has led to
the conclusion among the French
that tneir position is bound to be
affected gravely.
The foreign office in Paris pre
viously had been inclined to dis
count the possibility Italy would
embark on so formidable a program
so soon after the London naval
conference. One highly placed na
val authority said:
“France at London made the
proposition* of reduction in naval
programs if Italy would do like
wise, particularly in submarines.
Italy refused, causing the famous
deadlock.
“Now with her additional 800,-
000.000-lire program, Italy appar
ently Is out to achieve parity with
the French navy, which she always
claims.”
France now is forced proportion
ately to increase her naval build
ing program, in the view of most
persons in the navy and elsewhere
in Paris.
Otherwise, it was explained, she
would be at a disadvantage with
Italy, as the French fleet is divided
between the Atlantic and the Medi
terranean.
EMERGENCY SQUADS IN
RAID: KITTEN ‘HELD’
Animal Left in Loan Office Touches
Off Burglar Alarm.
“Come kitty,” was the plea of
three squads of city police, answer
ing an emergency call to the Sachs
loan office, 508 Indiana avenue,
early today.
They found a black cat, engaged
in play with a string hanging from
the door knob. Kitty got excited
when unable to drag the string
down and climbed the door.
Her claws struck an American
District Telegraph Company bur
glar alarm wire and caused the
alarm to sound.

INDIAN ALTERS PLEA
Artists’ Model Asks to Be
Tried for Murder.
Bn United Press
BUFFALO, N. Y., May 3.—The
story of an Indian model’s love af
fair with the French artist for
whom she posed, an affair which
ended with the slaying of the art
ist’s wife, seemed destined today
for another public exposition.
Encouraged by her people to tell
her own version of the tragedy, Lila
Jimerson, the young Indian woman,
Friday elected to have her plea
of guilty to second degree murder
withdrawn and stand trial for the
second time on a first degree charge.
She appeared indifferent to the pos
sible consequence of her decision —
death in the electric chair.

NEW METAL IS
BOONTOWORLO
Alloy Stronger Than Steel,
Lighter Than Aluminum.
Rv United Pre*
NEW YORK. May 3.—A secret
formula, conceived by a German
scientist, but developed posthu
mously by an American chemist, has
led to the discovery of anew metal,
lighter than aluminum, stronger
than steel, which may be of ines
timable value to the aviation, auto
mobile and ship building industries.
The metal, as yet unnamed, was
announced today by the Drekolias
International Corporation which ch
ained the formula on the death of
its discoverer.
The process was turned over to
Dr. John E. Jackson, noted indus
trial chemist who found it an alloy
of aluminum, zirconium, copper,
iron and tin.
