IMMEDIATE FORTIFICATI0N
OF SAN PEDRO Is URGED
Chamber of Commerce Directors
Call on Congress to Act

In accordance with a joint report of
the committee on fOrtifcation and mill
itary and naval affairs the directors of
the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce passed a resolution at their
meeting yesterday favoring an imme-
diate appropriation by congress so that
work can be begun on fortitications at
San Pedro harbor. The matter will be
called to the attention of President
Taft and the California representatives
in the senate and congress.
In order that the harbor be fortified
by the time the Panama canal is COM
pleted it is urged that immediate ac-
tion on the part of congress is neces-
sary.
1t is argued that on the completion
of the canal that zone may become the
object of an attack by hostile nations
and that in such an event Los Angeles
and her harbor would afford a base
of supplies for the enemy in case the
harbor was not protected properly.
The fortifcation of the Panama canal
was recommended by the secretary of
war. The report of the general staff
advises the establishing of a strong
point of defense at San Pedro, and
should these ideas be carried out
SO 900, 900 would be expended in it's de-
Tense in addition to the cost of the
site for the forts. The government
owns a site at Point Firmin.

FIGHT OVER RESOURCES,
NOT MEN, SAYS PINCHOT
Former Forester Declares Con-
gress Cannot Fairly Avoid
Ruling on Report

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-"CongTess
cannot now fairly avoid responsibility
of ruling on the reports of the com
mittee." declared former Forester Gif-
ford Pinchot today, in discussing the
recent report of the majority OF the
Ballinger- -Pinchot investigating com
mittee.
Mr.. Pinchot said that from the be-
ginning 1t was known what the report
would be and that the "standpat ma
jority" did only what was expected OF
them.
Interest now centers in the question
of what action congress is going TO
take on the report" continued Mr.. Pin
chot when a court appoints mas
ter to take testimony, find facts and
make recommendations the court is
bound to consider the masters report
and make a final decision. In this case
congress is the court and 1t cannot
fairly avoid responsibility Of ruling on
the committees reports"
He said the public was entitled to
know which of the three reports con-
gress approves.
Certainly the standpatters In con-
gress who believe in the Ballinger kind
of conservation should have chance
to go on record to that effect" he
continued.
1.-THE question whether Mr.. Ballinger
is an unfaithful public servant Is OF
little consequence as compared to saw
ing the coal lands in Alaska and the
water power rights for the people.
IF these are saved the men against
whom the majority Of the Investigating
committee have decided will win. no
matter what the majority may say. II
the resources are lost to the people,
these men will lose. too. That is what
the fight is about"

GOVERNMENT DlSPOSING OF
NORTHWEST BURNED TIMBER
Lumbermen Storing Wood in the
Lakes Until Ready for Use

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-In selling
the timber burned during the disas-
trous forest fires of last August, the
government is trying to so distribute
the wood that 1t will not overstock any
of the markets. Many companies which
are buying this timber are putting II
in the lake." said Associate Forester
Potter. This, he explained, is scien-
tific term used by lumbermen applying
to the practice of storing timber In
lakes or ponds until ready for use.
In the Clearwater district, where the
wood is particularly adapted to the
making of wood pulp, the forest service
is attempting to have some of the pulp
making concerns enter the forests and
build their plants on the ground for
the purpose of using up the broken tim
Der.
Much of the timber In the Missoula
district, according to Mr. Potter, is
small and readily can be used in the
manufacture of railroad ties ana, given
some preservative treatment, cause 1t
to last many years.

SEATTLE, Dec. 14.-One life was lost
and the Sound steamer Kitsap and the
launch Columbia were sunk as q re-
suit of two collisions in Seattle har-
Dor late today, involving the Colum-
bia, the Kitsap and the steel steam
ship Indianapolis. The man who lost
his life was Aubrey p. Yemen, a pas
senger on the Columbia. None of the
thirty passengers on the Kitsap were
injured.
The accidents are attributed to the
heavy fog which has hung over the
entire Puget Sound country for two
days and was responsible for dis
aster on the Puget Sound Electric
railway near Auburn last night.
SMASH IN THICK FOG
The first accident in the harbor to-
day occurred just as the Kitsap, with
thirty passengers and ten men in her
crew, left on her evening trip to
Paulsbo The fog was so thick that
objects could net be distinguished a
boat length away. Suddenly the
launch Columbia appeared directly in
her path. Before the Kitsap could be
stopped the Columbia was run down.
Yenen was lost. The only other per-
son on the Columbia was Captain e.
Eustis, her owner. He was picked up
by the Kitsap.

Elliott bay. She was barely 300 yards
from the wharf when the steel steam
ship Indianapolis of the Puget Sound
Navigation company from Tacoma
bore down on her port bow. The
lookouts on each vessel saw the danger
almost Immediately, but 1t was too
late
The indianapolis poked her sharp
PROV into the side of the Kitsap's
wooden hull little forward amidshtps.
The hundreds of passengers on the
indianapolis were thrown into panic.
They were soon quieted by Captain
Pendfield and his officers. On the Kit
Jap Captain H. A Hansen and his
officers went among the passengers
reassuring them.
The indianapolis had driven her steel
prov into the side of the Kitsap nearly
four feet. The boats were together
several minutes and the passengers
and crew of the Kitsap were trans
ferred directly from her deck to the
indianapolis. Twenty minutes after
the collision the Kitsap pulled away
from the Indianapolis, gave lurch
and went down in deep water.

1000 ON R. F. D. ROUTE
MISS MAIL FOR MONTH
OverWorked Carriers Resign and
Letters Accumulate

CLEVELAND, Dec. H.-Following
complaints of two months duration
from citizens that their mall was not
being delivered except spasmodicaily,
postoffice inspectors yesterday swooped
down on the Warrensville postoffice'
near here, and found piled In heaps
1900 pieces of undelivered mail matter
including 757 personal and business let
ters, and not q few Christmas pack
ages, some as much as month old:
The mail belongs to rural free ie-
livery route No. l, twenty-three miles
in length, serving 1000 persons.
The inspectors say the situation Is
an extraordinary one in department
history. But one carrier has been ex-
pected to serve this great route, at a
salary of 5000 year, and furnish his
own horse and wagon. Carrier after
carrier has resigned because he could
not begin. to do the work. The resig-
nations of two men in quick success
sion recently caused regular chaos in
the office.
