Three Bills Observation-Disclosures

Views Before Conn.,

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March BILLS to
establish postal savings banks, intro
duced by Senators Carter, Knox and
Burkett, today were considered by a
subcommittee of the senate committee
on postoffices and post roads, consist
ing of Senators Carter, Burrows, Bank
head and Clay. Postmaster General
Meyer was before the subcommittee
and outlined his views on the subject.
Postmaster General Meyer stated to
the committee that while the Knox bill
was drawn in his department, he was
not welded to that measure and was
very ready to approve amendments or
the provisions to be taken from both
the Burkett and Carter bills.
The postmaster general and the COM
mittee agreed upon the plan to secure
funds by the postal savings banks in
the various national banks, at the rate
of interest sufficiently large to pay de-
positors per cent and to defray all at
tendant expenses.
Speaking today of the chances of Sc
curing action on this bill, Senator Car
ter, chairman of the subcommittee,
says: "I have no doubt the senate Will
pass a bill embodying the postal saw
ings principle
There will be further meetings to dis
cuSs the measure.

FLEET MAY
ANCHOR IN
SAN PEDRO
CAPT. FRIES DEMONSTRATES
ABUNDANT FACILITIES
GREAT AREA OF SECURE DEPTH
AND SAFETY
Eleven of Admiral Evans Monster
Warshlps Housed inside the
Breakwater-Possibi
ties of Future

That the entire fleet of Admiral Ev-
ans can find safe anchorage in San
Pedro harbor is the conclusion of Cap
tain Amos A. Fries, who is the en-
gineer in charge of the harbor improve
ments.
And it is the purpose to demonstrate
the capability of the harbor when the
great fleet gets here.
Captain Fries told the executive conf
mittee of the feet reception committee
at it's last meeting that he had calcu-
lated the available area and found it
ample for the safe anchorage of the
warships.
On a government map of the harbor
RCaptain Fries showed eleven circular
areas inside the breakwater where
eleven of the vessels of the fleet may
ride. Each area has a diameter of 1900
feet and each area is 100 feet from any
other. This is ample to permit free
anchorage in a depth of not less than
thirty feet The same map showed
curved depth lines which disclose an
area of nearly five miles In length and
two miles in width where ships of the
draft of the. ocean fighters may an
chor.
A copy of this map as printed on this
page discloses just how the entire fleet
may find safe anchorage. Eleven OF
the big ships will find refuge inside the
breakwater while five other battleships
and two auxiliaries may ride In the
water now protected by the breakwa-
ter.
Battleships do not draw to exceed
271h feet. A recent trial of the Con-
necticut showed a draft of only 241s
feet. The area computed by Captain
Fries inside the breakwater is 5000
feet in length (east and wesD and from
5000 to 1000 feet in width (north ana
SOUTH. The north curved line shows a
depth of thirty feet, and between this
line and the south curved line the
depth gradually increases to forty
eight feet. Thus In that whole area OF
over ten square miles a depth of from
thirty TO forty-eight feet Is shown.
Inside the breakwater excellent bot
tom for anchorage Is found. Outside'
but stin within the zone of the break
waters protection. equally good bottom
EXISTS. but Capt. Fries thinks il there
be any doubt in the minds of the Meet
officers the seven other vessels could be
moored.
In the anchorage of the fleet in the
position shown on the map complete
demonstration of the present capacity
and the future possibilities of the har-
bor will be made. Protected from
heavy seas by Catalina island and fur
ther protected from tides and washes

TO REOPEN
KNlCKERB0CKER TRUST co.
REoRGANIZED
Depositors viii Be Allowed to Draw
Ten Per Cent of Amount on
First Day, Balance in
lnstalments
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
NEW YORK, March IAN order was
granted today by Justice Clark in the
Supreme court Staten Island. for the
reopening on March 26 next of the
Knickerbocker Trust company, whose
suspension last October following
two days bank run, involved the saw
ings of nearly 10000 depositors,
brought the president of the institu-
ton, Charles T. Birney, to his death in
q sensational manner and precipitated
such an unsettlement of public conti-l
dence that the panic of 1907 resulted.
The reopening of the Knickerbocker
Trust company. in accordance with
plans for rehabilitation prepared after
four months labor by a committee of
depositors, will release to the welfare
of the community assers aggregating
$46 370,6 500. The granting of the re-
sumption order was reflected in a
smart advance in security values to-
day on the stock exchange.
Under the terms of this plan of re-
Mobilization the depositors of the Knick-
erbocker Trust company will not re-
ceive their deposits in full when the
trust company opens it's doors, but
will receive 10 per cent on the opening
day if they want it and the remaining
portions of the deposits can be with
drawn at intervals covering period of
about two and one-half years.
A comparatively small number of the
depositors refused to assent to the plan
of resumption and three depositors by
their refusal to assent to the plan will
be in position to demand payment of
their deposits in full A large per-
centage of the depositors assented to
the plan, however, and are bound by
it, and it was by their action that it
was made possible for the institution
to resume business.

JAPAN IS READY TO
MAKE WAR ON CHINA
Toxic Government Sends Utimatun-
to Pekng, Demanding Redress
for Seizure of
Steamer
by Associated Press.

tBy Associated Fress-
PEKING. March 7.--Japan's ultima
tum in the case of the steamship
Tatsu Maru was presented to the head
of the Chinese foreign board yesterday
and today the board has the matter
under consideration.
The Tatsu Maru was seized off Ma
Gao on February by Chinese customs
cruisers on the charge that her cargo
of arms and ammunition were intended
for Chinese revolutionists, although
consigned to a merchant of that place.
The steamer is now being held at
Whampoa, on the Canton river.
The irreducible minimum of the Jap
anese claims is the restoration of the
steamer as we'll as of her cargo and
the payment of a full indemnity. Ac-
tion is demanded within reasonable
time" In case of default or postpone
ment Japan, according to the terms of
her ultimatum, will take immediate
action"
Japan expects a reply by tomorrow.
She will not tolerate China's offer to
investigate the case She insists upon
an apology for the hauling down of the
Japanese flag on the Tatsu Maru and
she will not accept mediation, affirming
that China is in error and that the
facts are incontrovertible.
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis
ter to China, in delivering the ulti-
matum, made reference to Japans sym
pathy for China in the matter of con-
traband traffic in arms, and explained
that China could not expect mediation
so long as she did not admit the par
ticipation of the Portuguese.

CONVICTED
OF MURDER
RICH ORIENTAL IN BOSTON
FOUND GUILTY
Killing of Four Men in Streets May
Be Punished by Death of the
Slayers and Their
Accessory

BY Associated Press.
BOSTON. March WARY Charles.
one of the wealthiest and most influ-
entail Chinese of Boston, and eight of
his countrymen, claimed to be notori-
Gus "hatchet men," were found guilty
by Jury in the superior court late to-
day of murder in the first degree on
four counts alleging the killing of four
Chinese in Boston August 2 of last
year.
In each case Wary Charles was ac-
cused of being an accessory before the
fact.
The cases had been on trial for thirty
three days
The murders for which the nine Chi
nese were found guilty grew out of a
long standing feud between the Hip
Sing tong and the On Leong tong, rival
societies.
Early in the evening of Friday, Au-
gust 2, 1907, a number of strange Chi
nese suddenly appeared in Oxford place,
in the heart of the Chinese quarter and
when the signal was given began firing
from revolvers of heavy caliber upon
scores of Chinese merchants and laun-
drymen. over forty shots were fired,
and the police found three dead and a
dozen others seriously wounded, one
of whom later died.
PHILADELPHIA, March Z. - Two
Chinese-Jung Jow and Mock Kung-
will be hanged in Moyamensing prison
here on Tuesday for the killing of sew
eral of their countrymen last summer
during a pistol battle in the streets of
Chinatown in this city. The warning
factions belonged to the On Leong tong
and Hip Sing tong organizations. Tues
days execution will be the first hang
ing of a Chinese in this city, although
there have been several battles be-
tween the rival societies with fatal
results.
PORTLAND, March 7.-Dai Hoy Lee,
a member of the Quong San Wan COM
pany and prominent Chinese. was
shot and fatally wounded tonight by a
hatchet man who had been imported
from San Francisco for the purpose of
killing Lee.
