given because of some OF these laxi.
ties is increased. Comments of some
newspapers on this are here given:
The Record-lIerald said:
News of the accidents by which
Moissant and Hoxsey lost their lives
was received generally with the feel
ing that severe check had been given
to aviation. The fatalities had been
multiplying, there had been nine of
them In December alone, the year of
flight records had been the year of
death records, and now the last day
there were two more victims. The first
impulse was to condemn the whole
dangerous business and to say that
the rivalry in reckless daring must
stop.
OF course, however, neither the in.
,entors nor the aviators will give heed
to this prohibition and though they
must be seriously affected by the
tragedies of the year, though some of
them may be discouraged, most of
them. we may be sure, will not admit
defeat. They will go at their absorb
with new determination. How Is the
fragile machinery to be improved?
What better methods of protection can
be devised against treacherous air
currents and those holes in the air?
These are among the questions that
will occur to them and that they will
try with unfiagging zeal to answer sat
isfactorily.

This morning it is John B. Moissant

In the case of Monsieur Chavez, Il
is settled that structural weakness OF

death. The preponderance of proof
would indicate similar cause In Mr.
Johnstone's case. Monsieur Felix, Mr.
Moissant's former mechanician, In

to his flight would have saved his life
M. Hubert Latham thinks broken
wire caused Mr.. Hoxsey's death, an
opinion concurred in by F. s. Jackson
of the Wright company.
Each case emphasizes the impera
tive need of official strength tests OF
all aeroplanes, long urged by the Her
aid. 1t Is not pleasant to think that
these men, or but one of them, pre-
eminent in their profession, might
have been spared to carry on theii
work had their machines been subject
ed to rigorous examination by compe
tent officials.
The New York Press said:
How very dangerous the new spor,
now is the death list for 1910 shows
only too plainly. Many of our readers
will be only shocked at what they re
gard as nothing but a preventable
waste of life. And in a sense these
lives were wasted. All these brave
men might have been alive, and are
not. Yet the human race is better
and more admirable thing, because
men exist who are willing to take
these risks.

SYSTEMATIC MAIL ROBBERY.

tered Bags Have disappeared
San Francisco, Jan. Chief Postal
Inspector H. B. Hall admitted that on
four separate occasions In the last two
weeks registered mail pouches had
been stolen as they were being trans
ported across San Francisco bay.
The first pouch was stolen on De
cember %; the second on the night OF
December 20; the third one December
80, and the fourth last night. The lat
ter two were destined for stations he
tween this city and Portland.
Hall denies that any Of the pouches
contained valuable packages, but 1t is
known that the local postal authors
ties are deeply concerned and they ad
NIT that some of the pouches contain
ed currency.
The Yokohama Speci bank has re
ceived no report from several valuable
registered packages and 1t is known
that at least one Of the missing
pouches contained packages mailed by
the bank. Postal detectives say thai
thefts were the result of the opera
tions of an organized band, the mem
bers of which were familiar with the
movements of mails out of this city.
Each pouch was missed when the
mail matter was checked before beinl
placed on board mail cars at the Oak
land pier. The pouches were in the
personal charge of mail clerks WHIT

mail was piled while 1t was being TAX
