MARSHALL United Press Staff Correspondent. Tokyo, Dec. 19. Japan opened the way for a world naval armament race today by denouncing the Washington naval limitation treaty. In a session that lasted only 40 minutes the privy council, highest advisory body in the Nippon empire, to all purposes 'ended the five power pact by approving the cabinet recommendation that Japan withdraw.

There remained now only formal notification of abrogation to end the treaty which for 12 years has re stricted fortification of the Pacific and imposed the 5 5 3 tonnage ratio on the navies of the United States, Great Britain and Japan. The action called for a new naval treaty, in which Japan will seek equality, and put an end to the ex ploratory conversations being held in London looking toward revision of the Washington pact in a 1935 Although the privy council turned a momentous page in world history there was nothing here to indicate public awareness of the fact. Newspapers headlined the cews in their regular editions, but none Issued extras. The move had been expected. There waa no debate.

Marquis Cholsel Kuroda made a brief address favoring treaty termination and expressed the hope that Japan would adopt the "best course for the nation" after the step had been taken. The council left "to Premier Kei suke Okada acd his cabinet the next step, which will be formal notification of Japan's withdrawal' This will be taken before the end of the year. Ambassador Hiroshi Saito will deliver the formal notice to the state department of the United States at Washington. IN FLORIDA GET PRISON FOR LIFE Miami, Dec. 19.

New York, at sea, Dec. 19. A life beat manned by vouuv teers from this Hamburg American liner snatched 16 members of the crew of the sinking freighter Slsto foom death early today, in a dramatic breath taking exhibition of courage and seamanship. While a gale piled up mountainous seas, the little craft, propelled by ten oarsmen, fought four hours to get to the Slsto, listing heavily and in sinking condition. Time after time it seemed about to crash against the steel deck of the freighter.

Twenty times or more, the life boat was within ten feet of the Slsto. Six teen times, a man had jumped from the freighter intothe open sea and was by waves within reach of the lifeboat's crew acd was hauled to safety. Despite the heavy seas, the gale, and rain that changed to snow dur ing the rescue, not a man was lost or injured. The 16 from the Slsto were semi hysterical when the life boat was hoisted up the side of this liner. Their ship had been in sinking condl tion for almost 34 hours and each minute they expected to be hurled into the turbulent seas.

All day yes terday they desperately watched the efforts of the tanker Mobiloil to effect a rescue by pumping thousands of gallons of fuel oil Into the sea to flatten the waves. Standing by and forming a lee for the life boat, was the giai.it North German Lloyd liner, Europe Her powerful search light illuminated the sea. Other ships standing by were the Cunard White Star liner, Aur ania, the Arnold Bemnstein liner, Gerolstein, and the Mobiloll. The lifeboat was commanded by Second Officer Weiss, of the New York. After it had returned to the ship, Captain Fritz Kruse, com' mander of the New York, was at the davits to congratulate his second officer and crew and welcome the rescued men.

Kate Smith, radio singer, was confined to her hotel apartment today by plgtaot gneumonla, LaGuardia said today after a conference with President Roosevelt.

Indicating clearly that he had little faith in promises of private utilities, LaGuardia declared he would see Public Works Administrator Ickes at the request Of the president to discuss borrowing of funds. Washington, Dec. 19. President Roosevelt, pressing his drive for cheaper electricity, centered his attack today against over capitalized holding companies. To the argument of utilities com' panies that rate disturbances would affect dividends of millions of security holders, the president replied that the utilities were confusing the issue by failing to distinguish between the securities of sound operating com' panies and those of holding concerns.

The present utility controversy af fects every part of the nation, but has centered on power companies' op position to the huge Tennessee Valley project and on the battle over utility rates in New York, where a legislative inquiry is under way. The government is willing to aid New York City in a self sustaining municipal power development should such a plant be needed, the president indicated. The president at the same time ar ranged to survey the New York situa tion later in the day with Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and others. He argued that the "water" was not in the financial structure of the or iginal companies, but in the holding companies. Therefore, to class all util lty securities together, he believed, creates a false and erroneous impres sion.

Asked Whether the same situation applied to the railroads, he said it did not because in the general railroad picture there were few holding companies. 2 WED BANDITS ROB Hi P. STORE Two youthful bandits staged a bold holdup last evening at 5:30. o'clock in the A. P.

store on Fulton street. Two employes of the store Raymond Morton, of Montgomery avenue, and Donald Sharpe, 243 William street, were held at bay by a menacing revolver while one of the intruders seized (6.85 from the money drawer and then both escaped. A small girl was in the store at the time, prepared to make a purchase, and she seemed to be entirely oblivious of what was tak ing place. The robbers made no at tempt to molest the child. Morton, manager of the store, was behind the counter, near the cash register when the two bandits entered and Sharpe was in a small stock room in the rear, but within view of the pair.

He was ordered to the front and both young men were lined up against the wall while one of the intruders seized the money and then both fled. Chief of Police Luke M. Keating was immediately notified and the city authorities started an investigation. Today Chief Keating announced that no arrests have been made, but that a description of the pair furnished by the store employes may aid them in their search. A month ago bandits robbed the A.

P. store at the corner of Stark and Searle streets and escaped with ap proximately $25. ALL AMERICANS IN SO. ANII'FJ. CHINA.

He had made his home in this community for upwards of a half century and during that time he acquired a wide ac quaintance and commanded the re' spect of all whom he met. Although he had reached the ripe age of 83 Mr.

Eagen had lived an active life until a few months ago and he was familiar figure at his hardware store on South Main street until stricken with the illness which proved fatal.

About 55 years ago he came to this community and had since been numbered among our most substantial citizens.

Early in life he worked for several years at labor ing jobs in the vicinity of Mauch Chunk and he delighted to recall the fact that he helped to build the Le high Valley Railroad through Pitts ton. He told an interesting story of helping to run the rails along the top of a high bank close to an old school house on the "Green," which was later converted into a passenger and freight station. The track he referred to is known as the Town track and the school house and first L. V. RR.

Eagen learned the trade of blacksmith from the late William Stroh, of this city, but he suffered an injury to his back which caused him to give up that occupation and he turned to the manufacture of mining tools. In 1882 he established a min ing supplies business in Wyoming where he began to build the present plant of James Eagen Si Sons, cor ner of Eighth street and Monument avenue. It was one of Mr. Eagen's de lights to recall that several of his em ployes had been with him for up wards of 40 years and relations be' tween employer and employes were congenial throughout the years. For a number of years the Eagen Company's mining supply store here had been in the Y.

M. I. building, at the foot of Pine street, but more re cently the firm has had a more spac lous storeroom at 38 South Main street, opposite Dock street.

He served as president of the Holy Name Society for several years. He was In the forefront of the movement to or ganize the First National Bank of Wyoming and was one of the original members of the board of directors. When Pittston Council, No. 372, Knights of Columbus, was organized In 1807, Mr. Eagen was one of those to sign the charter and he maintained membership in the organization until his death.

He also took an active interest in civic affairs serving as borough treasurer and councilman of Wyoming for a number of years and beta one of the charter members of Wyoming Hose Company. Two years ago Mr. Eagen's wife died. Surviving are the following sons and daughters: Mrs. Austin S.
