High Prices OF Meat Likely to Con-

LOS ANGELES. Cal. April Ain the
presence Of 1000 persons. many OF whom
fought for pieces Of his machine as
souvenirs OF the tragedy. Calbraith P.
Rodgers, the famous coast-to-coast avi-
ator. was instantly killed at Long Beach
yesterday afternoon by an almost straight
plunge Of his aeroplane into the surf
from q height Of 200 feet.
While women shrieked and tainted and
men shouted in terror at the sight of the
noted a.rman diving to his death, others
of both sexes in the crowd madly rushed
into the water, and, even before the body
of Rodgers had been taken ashore, they
were tearing and plucking at the i'll
starred machine. The police had all they
could do to beat them back and drive
them out of the water.

WIRELESS TREATY RATIFIED.
Senate Acts on Pact After Delay of
More Than Four Years.

Pending before the Senate for about
four and q half years. the International
wireless telegraph treaty was suddenly
flashed into the limelight of the Senate
yesterday afternoon and ratified. There
was about two hours discussion of the
pact. but practically the only opposition
came from Senator Oliver.
The treaty was signed at Berlin Noveln-
Der 3, 1908. by delegates representing the
leading nations and was transmitted to
the Senate by President Roosevelt De-
cember 8. 1907. It remained buried in the
Senate committee on foreign relations for
several years. Recently, however. the
United States was invited to send dele
gates to an International wireless con-
vention in London next summer, and 1t
was then discovered that the treaty had
never been approved by the Senate. The
treaty was then resurrected. but the OPP
position kept 1t from being ratified until
yesterday.

The days catastrophe happened at 8

he made q short turn and started full

wrong. The plane began to descend at
a frightful rate.
The realization that Rodgers had lost

and while the cheering was being swept

down into the surf, where the water was
but two feet deep.

FOR MEMORIAL HALL
Senate Committee FavorabIy
Reports Root Bill.
WILL HOUSE CONVENTIONS
Proposed Armory Square Building

Seat Thousands.
WILL HOUSE CONVENTIONS

Chairman Sutherland Of the Senate
committee on public buildings and
grounds today presented to the Senate the
favorable report Of the committee on the
Root bill setting apart Armory Square as
a site for the George Washington Me-
mortal Hall.
The report emphasizes the need for a
suitable building in the National Capital
where conventions like the tuberculosis
congress and the International congress
on hygiene and demography can be
housed suitably and adequately. and it
points out that the George Washington
Memorial Hall will not only be an orna-
ment to the city, but will afford a home
and a gathering place for national,
patriotic, educational. scientific, literary,
medical. philanthropic and other organi-
cations.
Hall to Seat 5000 People.
1.-The primary purpose Of the legisla-
tion," Chairman Sutherland says on be-
half Of the committee, els indicated In
the preamble to the bill. and is to provide
"a large auditorium and halls Of different
sizes where all societies pertaining to the
growth of our best interests can meet
in order to conform to the wish Of
George Washington to assist in the de-
velopment of his beloved country through
the promotion Of science. literature and
art
1.-The design OF the proposed building
contemplates hall large enough to hold
a convention of five or six thousand peo-
pie with smaller rooms for the accom-
mediation of the committees appropriate
to the congresses which will meet there,
and for other meetings OF 500 to LOCO
which do not require the large audi
forum.
''These conventions are being held all
the time and bring to the city many dis
tinguished persons who come to confer
on the great questions which affect the
public welfare. Heretofore these conven-
tons have not been able to secure ac-
commodations in keeping with the dignity
and innQrfauce of these meefipRS >,

Standing for Privilege.

When the President characterizes a
moderate proposal to render effective the
sober judgment of the American people
as against indefensible and reactionary
court decisions in favor Of the privileged
classes as laying the ak at the foot OF
the tree of we'll ordered freedom, then
the President is simply standing against
the sane and moderate movement for So
cial justice and in favor of privilege, and
he ranks himself against the progressive,
against the abuse of justice for the help
less and the wronged, and on the side
Of the reactionaries, on the side of the
beneflciaries Of privilege and injustice.
-Four years ago the progressives sup
ported Mr.. Taft for President. and he
was opposed by such representatives of
special privilege as Mr.. Penrose of Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode Island,
Mr.. Gallinger Of New Hampshire, and
Messrs. Lorimer, Cannon and Mckinley
Of Illinois. and he was opposed by prac-
tically all the men of the stamp of
Messrs. Luggenheim and Evans in Colo
RADIO and Patrick Calhoun of San Fran
cisco. These men were not progresSives
then. and they do not pretend to be pro-
gressives now. But. unlike the Presi-
and who is not. Their judgment in the
matter is good
Now Supporting Taft.
after three and a half years Of asso-
citation with and knowledge of the Presi-
dent these and their fellows are now the
Presidents chief supporters. and they
and the men who feel and act as they
do In business and in politics give him
the great bulk Of his strength.
1.-The President says he Is a progressive.
These men know him well and have
studied his actions for three years, and
they regard him as being precisely the
kind of progressive whom they approve.
However good the Presidents intentions,
believe that his actions have shown
that he is entitled to the support Of pre-
cisely these men.
81 stand for the adequate control, the
real control, Of all big business, and es-
pecially Of all nlonopolistic big business,
where 1t proves unwise or impossible to
break up the monopoly. There is a grim
irony in the effect that has been produced
upon Wall street by the complete break
down Of the prosecutions against various
trusts, notably the Standard Oil and to-
bacco trust, under the Sherman law.
IT have always insisted that while the
Sherman law should be kept upon the
books SO as to be used wherever pos
sible against monopoly. yet that it was
by itself wholly unable to afford the re-
lief demanded by the American people as
against all the great corporations ac-
tually or potentially guilty of anti-social
practices"
