ported from Bombay. Lieutenant
Dawes started from the Bombay oval
IN q Humber monoplane. intending to
ny to Malabar point about four miles
away. The Bombay-BRroda railway
line skirts the oval, and between thu
railway and the sea are some unusual
ly high telegraph wires. Lieutenant
Dawes rose quite successfully from the
! oval and dipped to turn seawRrd. when
he saw that he would not clear the
telegraph wires. He therefore descend
| ed quite slowly on to the railway line
near Church Gate station.
At that moment a goods train ap-
preached and crashed into the mono
plane, smashing It to pieces. The air
man was unable to Jump clear before
the collision took place and was flung
on to some grass. His face was cut
! by one of the wires of the machine.
The engine of the monoplane was not
| damaged.
No aviator of any experience mini
mixes the terrible risks he takes. but.
as air men point out, in the develop
ment OF any new vehicle OF transporta-
ton fatalities have been inevitable.
and so long as vehicles attempt to
make rapid movement these will con-
tinus to be inevitable. Mr.. Clifford Har-
mon cites the development of the steam
and electric railroads. There are sec
tions OF transcontinental systems" he
says, where every tie stands for the

that has characterized this season the

Some of the questions involved are
of more than ordinary deIIcacy, -espe-

wise to the secretary Of state to under

can work without undue pressure for

OF course the problem which presents
the gravest difficulty II that concern

ing to each of tho contracting parties
absolute freedom to trade In tho terri
tory Of the other ard unrestricted ad-
mission of each to the ports Of the 9TH
er. specifically provides that nothing
which IT contains shall be construed in
any way to affect the laws, ordinances
and regulations with regard to trade,
the immigration Of laborers, police and
public security which are In force or
which may hereafter be enacted in
either of the two countries" This pro-
vision has always been held by the dip
lomatio authorities of this country to
contain abundant warrant for the spe-
cifc exclusion of japanese laborers
On the other hand. It has been appre-

ciated that such specific legislation
would seriously hurt the pride OF the
japanese. and, as will be recalled, the
apparent necessity of such legislative
exclusion has been az least partly OBJ
Waited By the Japanese authorities, who
themselves took such steps as were
necessary to prevent their iaborers
from entering the United States.
The existing treaty contains twenty
articles and a protocol, both signed by
Walter O. Gresham for the United
States and By shinichiro Kurfno for
japan.
The convention contains regulations
covering freedom Of trade, travel,
taxes, navigation. invioiabiIity Of DWELL
ings. import and export duties, equaH-
~ Of shipping. tonnage dues, port and
coastfng regulations. deserters from
ships. consular officers, etc. from which

Although the treaty between Japan
and the United States does not expire
until July, 1912, IL contains no conVen-
tional tariff arrangements. whereas
those between Japan and other coun-
tries do. and for this reason the Unite<
States on July II. 1911, when the trea-
ties other than its own expire. must
pay the new duties in 80 far as they
are enforced upon imports into Japan
from the other countries.
