The South Cardinals Record.

Calculations giving the battleship Idaho
the trophy for record target practice
may be entirely upset by the remarkable
record made by the new battleship South
Carolina, now engaged in her first target
practice off the Virginia capes.
One OF her 12-inch turrets made a rec
ord which never has been excelled in
any navy, averaging more than two hits
a minute and her firing throughout was
good. If her night practice and her tor
pedo practice are up to the mark, she is
likely to eclipse the best records made
this wear under similar conditions.

The Logical Point.

lne Logical POlnL.
Heretofore eastern manut acturers
have found the southland difficult field
in which to introduce their goods, although
it is we'll known fact that the south is
immeasurably rich and section destined
to lead this entire country, both in natural
resources and manuf acturing activity.
New Orleans is not only the me-
tropolls of this great rich southern coun-
try, but is the focal point for all the
commercial activity of the southwest,
South American countries, Cuba, Haiti
and Mexico. Owing to the peerless To-
cation of New Orleans, buyers from all
this section would be able to visit New
Orleans and attend this Exposition,
whereas if located at the proposed more
distant point only a small percentage
would be able to pay the immense, trans
portation charge.
With the opening of the Trans.
Andian railroad Buenos Aires, on the
east coast of South America, will be
brought nearer by six or eight days to
New Orleans by way of Chile and the
west coast of the Panama Canal than
steamship line direct up the east coast
New Orleans is by far the nearest
large North American seaport city to the
Typographical and population center of the
great zone most Immediately affected by
the opening of the Panama Canal and
most Immediately interested in the new
markets the Canal will open up.
Exhibitors at the Worlds Panama
Exposition in New Orleans would be
offered the chance of lifetime to exhibit
their wares before public representing
the richest territory in the world. More
southern trade could be secured in this
way in few months than five years of
urgent soliciting could possibly produce
and at fraction of the expense.
New Orleans is nearer to the center
of the population of the United States than
San Francisco and more than half the
people of the United States could attend
the Exposition at an average cost of about
$500 each-two cents mile. Less than
per cent could possibly pay their way or
spare the time required to 60 to the more
distant city.
1t is directly to the interest of every
eastern manufacturer to see that New
Orleans is chosen as the site for the
greatest Exposition ever held in this
country and celebrating the most colossal
human achievement the world has ever
known

GOVERNMENT PLANS
CANAL BOND ISSUE
Officials Will Endeavor to Pre-
vent Drain on Working
Balance of Treasury

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Machinery
was set in motion today to provide for
an issue of Panama canal bonds to END
a drain on the working balance of the
treasury, which now threatens
deficit.
Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh had a long conference on the
subject with Senator Aldrich, chair
man of the senate committee on
finance.
1t appeared that several complica-
tions had arisen and that further leg
islation would be necessary if the pro-
posed new securities are to find mar
ket without depressing the more than
500 900 of per cent bonds now
outstanding Under the authorization
of the issues, 1922 100000 additional
Panama bonds, it was provided they
might bear per cent interest. Most
of the government securities now
outstanding bear per cent.
Investigations carried on with the
corporation of bankers, business men
and students seem to indicate the
credit of the United States will not
permit the issue of bonds yielding less
than 3 per cent on an Investment
basis.
1t will be pressed upon congress
that a preliminary issue without cir
culation privileges will have the eff
feet of letting the bonds find their own
level.

WOMAN CAPTURES
OCTOPUS ON HOOK
Visitor at Long Beach Embraced
by Her Catch and Then
Promptly FaintS

LONG BEACH, Dec. 9.--When a
devil fish, or octopus, which measured
three and one-half feet from tip to tip
suddenly wrapped one of it's tentacles
about her ankles, Mrs. Jessie McDon-
aid. visitor here from Tucson, Artz.,
fell over in a prompt and justified
swoon on the pier. The woman had
hooked the devil fish while angling
for surf fish. She had difficulty in
getting it loose from a piling under
the pier, but as she raised it through
the air it hung Imply and she did not
realize what she had caught.
AS soon, however, as the octopus
was dropped on the pier it became
lively. 1t threw out one of it's eight
arms and caught Mrs. Mcdonald about
the left ankle The fair angler felt
the pressure tightening, and covering
her eyes she screamed and tainted.
A man fishing a few yards away
ran toward her with his bait knife in
his hand and with difficulty severed
the tentacle of the octopus Then
unwrapping the section that was
about the woman's ankle, he used Mrs.
McDonald's rod in pushing both pieces
of devil fish overheard. AS the body
of the creature fell into the water the
octopus squirted out the inky fluid
which was secreted in its sac, black
ening the water all about 1t.
When Mrs. Mcdonald was revived
she was in such a state of nervous
prostration that she had to be as
sisted to the home of the friends whom
she is visiting. on Elliot street.

CHILD LEADS POLICE TO
KIDNAPPED BOY AND GANG
Missing Tot and Two Other Chill
dren Held Prisoners in
Room by Italians

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-"They told me
1 was in China" said Giuseppe Longo,
years old, when the police led him
to freedom yesterday from the tene-
ment room where he had been locked
a prisoner by kidnapers.
Among the scores of children stolen
by lawless Italians, his is said to be
the only New York case on record in
which the police have effected a re-
covery. Others have been returned to
their parents, but not by the agency
of the police.
The boy, found yesterday, was traced
by the aid of another child whose
brother also is held for ransom. The
police learned that Giuseppe was a
prisoner in the east side tenement
They searched the corridors, listening
at transoms. At the door of a rear
room they heard a child crying. The
little guide was lifted up and peered
over the transom.
That's him." he whispered excited
ly, and the police broke in the door.
Guarding Giuseppe were two men,
and in the same room were two other
children, boy and a girl, whom he
only knew by their first names. The
police think they also may have been
kidnapped. The two men on guard
were arrested, as were five other Ital-
ians, among them a woman.

Brooklyn grocer. Since he disappeared
November 19 the father received two
letters demanding money, the first
asking $4,000 and the second $1,000.

ment of those matters, which seem
to me to be of the largest consequence
to the country"

WHITE MAN WEOS
INDIAN; LAND LOST
ASSOCIATED Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Charges of
irregularity in regard to the allotment
of certain Indian lands in Oklahoma
were made in the house of representa-
tives today in connection with the dis
cussion and lassage OF the Indian ap-
preparation bill.
The charges, which were made by
Chairman Burke of the Indian affairs
committee, were that misrepresenta-
tions to the committee at the last ses-
sion by certain members of the house
had led to the passage of an act for the
enrolment in the Kiowa tribe of In
dams, and the allotment of 100 acres of
land to James S. RoWell, when he was
not entitled to it.
RoWell, a white man from Connecti-
cut, who had married an Indian wom-
an, it developed, had ben allotted land
near Lawton, Okla, worth from $75,0OU
to 100000
The committee had been informed.
Mr.. Burke said, that the land Rowell
was TO receive was no more valuable
than that usually given to members OF
the tribe in which he sought enroll
ment.
Representative Morgan of Oklahoma
declared he had given such informa-
ton to the committee at the time, and
thought it correct. Last summer ne
learned, he said, that the land was
more valuable than he had realized.
1t was finally decided to let the ques-
ton of RoweIs citizenship in the In
dian tribe go to the courts, but the
bill withdrew for the time being Row.
ellis right to an allotment.
The bill, as finally passed, carried
IS. 277. .9S5, which was S97O 900 more than
recommended by the committee.

NEWSPAPER MAN CHOSEN
BY NATIONAL AERO CLUB

George 3. Harrison, a well known
newspaper man and aero expert of this

ITALY To SETTLE
FATE OF CHARLTON
Secretary of State Knox Grants
Request for Surrender of
Accused American
Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Secretary
Knox .,ranted today the request of
Italy for the surrender of Porter
Charlton, charged with the murder of
his wife at Lake Como.
The secretary holds that the fact
that Italy refuses to surrender her
citizens to the United States for trial
does not relieve this country from the
obligation of the extradition treaty to
surrender to Italy fugitives from jus
tice from that country.
The question of the sanity Of Charl-
ton. it is suggested, is one for the
courts and not for the department to
determine.
Had Secretary Knox refrained from
acting upon this case for six days
Charlton would have been free, as the
statutes require final action within
sixty days from the date of commit
ment.
The legal contention of counsel for
the accused on "Italys refusal to sur
render her own citizens" and the
point that the italian demand for
Charlton's surrender had not been
made in strict accordance with the
requirements of the treaty, are swept
away by the secretary as without
basis, and the committing magistrates s
proceedings are found to have been
regular in all respects.
A closing remark by the secretary is
significant, carrying the intimation
that Charltons attorneys may have
further recourse to the courts, if they
are disposed to raise the question of
insanity.
1.-The committing magistrates rec
ord as transmitted to the department"
says the decision, disclosed no mate
rial informality in the proceedings,
and a case calling for the surrender of
the accused under the treaty terms
is made out, unless each such sur
render is to be defeated by objections
raised by counsel for the accused"
In concluding his memorandum in
the case Secretary Knox says:
For these reasons it is decided that
the government of the United States
should deliver to the government of
Italy Porter Charlton, charged with
the crime of murder, which crime he
has confessed"

OFFICIALS RETAIN
CALIFORNIA LANDS
Register and Former Receiver
File Decisions for Govern
ment on Property Titles

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 9.-Register
John Armstrong and former Receiver
John Ing of the land office for the de-
partment of Northern California have
rendered decisions in the following
cases:
Government VS.. ]. S. POROUS of Gala
veras county, recommending cancella-
ton of homestead entry. Portious made
his entry February 3, 1905.
The government alleged that the en-"
tryman had not established and main
tained residence on the land nor culti-
waited or improved it.
In the case of the government against
Henry A. Beik of Butte county the de-
cision is in favor of Beik and the
charges will be dismissed. Beik made
a mineral entry in the Marysville land
office in December, 1908, for the Marion
Quartz Mining company. The govern
ment charged that he had not expended
$4,000 in labor or Improvements on his
land, as required by the mining law.
In the case of Viola " Martin versus
the heirs of Joe l.. Rogers, deceased, or
Yolo county, the receiver and register
were of the opinion from the evidence
submitted that the noncompliance or
the homestead laws on the part of each
and every one of the heirs constituted
abandonment on their part, therefore
the entry was recommended for can
collation..

BEDOUINS, IN REVENGE,
MURDER 100 CHRISTIANS

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 9.-A tel
egram from Jouilasm today states that
Bedouins have massacred the Turkish
garrison at Kerak, town in the Turk
ish yilayet of Syra, and killed more
than 100 Christian inhabitants of that
place in revenge for the execution of
a Bedouin.
The Bedouins, the dispatch says,
now hold the fortress, in the vicinity
of which there has been desultory
fighting between tribesmen and the
government troops for the last year
and half.
Kerak formerly the capital of Moab,
has a population of S000 of whom 5000
are Moslems. The town is the last on
the road from Damascus to Mecca,
where Christians may reside. It
stands on the mountains of Moab and
may be seen from Jerusalem, fifty
miles away There are no American
missionaries. the only missionary sta
tion being that of the British Church
Missionary society for Africa and the
east. This is branch of the organ
ization at Es Salt and is composed of
one missionary, his wife, and one ma
tive worker.

$4,000 SECURED FOR
AVIATION RACES HERE
CONTINUED from Page one>

Contributions are coming in to sup
port the meet in a very satisfactory
manner, according to Mr.. Garland.
Yesterday afternoon the amount Off
cially subscribed amounted to $22, 900,
and this will be augmented by a per-
sonal subscription from William +.
Herrin, vice president of the Southern
Pacific railroad. amounting to $4,000.
This amount, taken with the $4,000
from Pasadena, brings the total up to
$42, 900, which, according to Mr.. Gar
land, is almost enough to finance the
meet properly
Il have secured $22,00O" said Mr..
Garland yesterday afternoon, land am
going out among the bankers and
business men today to double that
amount. And | will have little trouble
in doing it. AS soon as the business
interests of Los Angeles understand
that the meet can be and will be made
a success they have and will contrib
ute literally"
The location of the meet is being held
I'D on account of the fact that Domin-
guez field is contracted for by other
parties, who, believing that a meet
would be held, secured it as the most
desirable place. 1t is said that $4,000
must be paid on this contract by Mon
day or the field reverts to the Domin-
guez family, in which case negotia-
tions will be entered into to secure 1t
from them.
Charles Il. Willard stated last even
ing that in his opinion the Baldwin
ranch location would give more oppor-
tunity for successful work On account
of the fact that the weather is less
liable to be disagreeable there than
nearer the ocean.
AS the meet will be charitable af-
fair a plan is on foot to auction off
the box seats at the grounds. This
will be worked out later. The COM
mittee will make no contracts nor
spend any of the subscription money
in any way until after the contracts
with the aViatoTs have been signed
This is because of the possibility of not
reaching a satisfactory agreement with
them.
