Speculators Ousted From Municipal Market Stalls Not Expected By Hughes By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chleac Trlbane-Omaha Bea Leaaed Wire. Washington, June 22. Great Britain has not consulted the United States on the question of renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, has given no assurance of special con sideration of American interests in volved therein, has t not informed Washington of the progress; of the negotiations and has not been ex pected by the Harding administration to do any of these things. This was disclosed by Secretary of state Hughes today in connection with an official denial of the truth of the published reports to the effect that the United States has been taken into the confidence of the British government in regard to this matter. In a formal statement Mr. Hughes said: "In view of a dispatch of the As sociated Press with respect to the renewal ot the Anglo-Japanese alh ance, published this morning, to the effect that "it is understood that the State department has been kept fully informed of the plans of the British government and that it has been given assurance that, in the renewal of the treaty, every precaution will be taken to guard against the in clusion of anything inimical to Amer ican right, it is deemed proper to say that the State department is not informed with respect to the plans of the British government and has re ceived no assurances in the matter. Avoid False Impressions. "This statement is made to avoid the receiving by the American pub lic of false impressions that the de partment has been kept cognizant of the progress of the negotiations. Mr. Hughes is known to be deep ly interested in the effect that a re newal of the alliance and the char acter of the new pact between the British and the Japanese empires might produce on the interests of the United States, particularly those involved in the relations of the Japa nese and American peoples. He has regarded the matter, how ever, trom the start, as nobody s business but that of England and Japan a question on which the United States could not with pro priety address views to Britain and on which the United States could not expect the British government to confide its views to this government. The fact is that tlie interest of the American government in a new An glo-Japanese alliance could not have been more effectively presented in London than it has been by the British self-governing dominions. The premiers of Canada, Australia. South Africa 'and New Zealand have insisted that if the alliance be (Tarn to Pse Two. Column Two.) Live Stock Shippers Hearing Set for July 1 5 Washington, June 22.

Develop ments today disclosed that the ad ministration has met defeat in all its major contentions for. an adequate national defense program before the onslaughts of . economy-bent con gressmen. Efforts to prevent a re turn to the state of unpreparedness preceding the war with Germany have been unavailing. Unless President Harding, through use of his veto powers, is able to prevent it the army will be reduced to 150,000 men by October 1, de spite Secretary of War Weeks' in dignant protest; the navy's enlisted personnel will be cut to 106,000 in the face of Secretary of the Navy Denby's recommendations, and the Borah disarmament amendment, dis tasteful to the administration, will be enacted into law. Cut Army 70,000. The senate today, bowed to the will of the house and ratified the conference report on the army bill providing $77,740,000 for the pay of the enlisted men. This will require a reduction of 70,000 men in the army before October 1, a condition which Secretary Weeks condemned in the most emphatic language. The normal number of discharges in that period will be about 20,000, it is estimated, so that in order to meet the requirements insisted upon by the house it will be necessary to ar bitrarily fire out of the army at least 50,000 men, regardless of their en listment .terms. Senator Wadsworth of New York, chairman of the senate military af fairs committee, declared that the arbitrary discharge of 50,000 men was "without parallel and. surpassed in cruelty anything ever proposed in tne nistory ot the army. Senator New of Indiana said that it meant that 50,000 men would be thrown out of employment and pre dicted that they would be able to make claims for salary against the government for ignoring the term of their enlistment contracts. Senators File Protests. Senator Wadsworth added that the bill would "incapacitate the army for any kind of service in. this ioun try" and declared that . he wanted the record clearly to show" that he protested against it both as a matter of economy and policy. Neverthe less both he and Senator New advo cated adoption of the conference re port as a necessary measure to get any kind of a bill at all. , The actual saving accomplished by the house, Senator Wadsworth stated, would be less than $1,000,000 and he pointed out that after dis charging 75,000 men to bring the army down to 150,000 men by Oc7 tober 1, it would be necessary for the s War department to begin recruiting:' again to offset the normal shrinkage. This would cost the government about $100 per man, he stated. The naval conferees held another meeting today to nut their tentative understandings into definite form. As a result of today's conference, it is expected that the total of the bill may be cut to about $403,000,000 with provision for about 10,000 enlisted personnel. The conference report, including the Borah disarmament amendment, may be brought before me nouse rriday. Indictments Against 'Big Tim Murphy and 10 Others ExDected a Chicago, June 22.

Just before the city police and government agents swooped down upon the flat, some one tipped off to "Big Tim" and O'Connor that the. place was under surveillance and neither of the men ever returned.
