SENATOR LODGE AFTER JApS
The Senator says There is stu An
indirect Movement Afoot BY Which
the Japanese Are Hoping To
Secure a Naval Station.

Washington.-The Senate Tuesday
adopted a resolution presented by
Senator Lodge requesting the Presi-
dent If not incompatible with public
interest to furnish the Senate all In
formation bearing on reported Japan
csc activity at Magdalena Bay, Lower
California.
The resolution on which there was
no debate had reference to reported
purchase of land by the Japanese gov
eminent or japanese company on
Mexican soil.
Senator Lodge called the attention
of the Senate, during the recent debate
on the arbitration treaties, to the pos
sibility of some great Eastern power
directly or indirectly taking posses
sion Of harbor on the West Coast Of
Mexico to establish naval station
and place Of arms He said that In
making this suggestion he was using
no Imagination" and that 1t was not
very long since an indirect movement
was begun and sit is apparently still
on foot to obtain possession of
Magdalena Bay for a foreign power"
49," he added, Il may fairly sup
pose that such case might arise. II
it did, we should Immediately inter-
vene. We should declare that this
was violation OF the Monroe Doc
trine."
Senator Lodge was then arguing
against the delegation of the treaty
making power which he contended
was carried in the treaties as reported.

FALLS
AVIATOR KILLED.
Calbraith Rodgers Fatal Plunge
at California Resort.
HIS TRANscONTINENTAL TRIP.
Fell a Distance Of 200 Feet To the
Surf At Long Reach-AImost On
the Spot Where He Finished
He ocean-to.ocean Flight.

Long Beach, Cal. - Calbraith P.
Rodgers, the first man to CROSS the
American continent in an aeroplane,
was killed here almost instantly
when his biplane in which he had
been soaring over the ocean fell from
a height of 200 feet and buried him
in the wreck. His neck was broken
and his body badly mashed by the
engine of his machine. He lived but
few moments
Rodgers for week past had been
making daily flights here and had
taken up with him many passengers,
both men and women. He started
from his usual place and scared out
over the ocean, crossing the pier and
then turned and dipped close to a
roller coaster in a beach amusement
park.
Seeing flock Of gulls disporting
themselves among a great shoal Of
sardines just over the breakers,
Rodgers again turned and dived down
into them, scattering the sea fowl in
all directions.
Highly elated with the outcome Of
his dive, Rodgers then few farther out
to sea, all the time gradually rising
until he had reached a height Of about
zoe feet.
Making a short turn he started at
full speed for the pier, then suddenly
dipped his planes and his machine
began>a frightful descent. Rodgers
was rsash by hundreds Of persons on
the pier to relax his hold on the levers.
and then, seemingly realizing that he
was in danger, he made strenuous eff
forts to pull the nose of his machine
into level position.
Failing in this, he managed to turn
his craft further. in shore, and an
instant later the craft crashed into
the edge of the surf, not 500 feet from
the spot where, on December 10 last,
he had finished his ocean-to-ocean
flight. Many men rushed to his aid.
Ernest Scott and James Goodwin,
life guards, were first to reach him.
They said Rodgers head was hanging
over one wing OF the machine, the
heavy engine was on his back and his
feet were drawn up nearly doubling
over his shoulders. Blood was flow
ing from his mouth.
Rodgers was lifted from the wreck
and hurried to the bath house hospital
He died on the way.

SCOTT
GOT THERE, TOO
Amundssn Not Sole DIscoverer;
Says Peary.
pEARY ARCTIC CLUB NETS
Unique Medal, Mad. Of Blue DIa-
mond and MeteorIts, lie Pre-
scented To the DIseoverer
OF the North Pole.

New Ycrk.-Rear Admiral Robert
e. Peary, retired, who discovered the
North Pole. is Of the opinion that both
Amundsen, the Norwegian, and Cap
tain Scott, the Englishman, attained
the South Pole. He expressed this
view in an address at celebration
marking the third anniversary Of his
discovery, at which he was honored
by . unique medal made up in part of
q meteoric which he brought from the
Arctic regions in 1897.
Admiral Peary declared that from
his study Of the competition between
Amundsen and Scott. he believed the
Englishman had also been successful
In reaching the South Pole about the
middle Of January, or about month
later than Amundsen reached 1t.
The polar celebration was under
the auspices OF the Peary Arctic Club,
the Aperican Geographical Society
and the American Museum Of Natural
History. 1t was held in the Museum
Building and attended by large num-
Der Of explorers and scientists. Not
only Admiral Peary's achievement, but
the discovery OF the South Pole and
the Inauguration Of the new Croker
land expedition were objects of the
celebration. President Henry Fairfield
Osborne, of the museum. presided and
Zenas Crane presented Admiral Peary
with the medal.
It was a f1ve-pointed star or sections
Of the great Ahnighito meteorite which
Admiral Peary brought from Cape
York Is years ago. In the center Of
the star, around a blue-white diamond,
is the inscription: "Peary Arctic Club
to Robert e. Peary. April s, 1872" In
scribed In enamel, with the dates OF
Ave definite achievements Of the ex.
plorer, the Pole in 1909; the farthest
North in 1905; establishing the In
sularity Of Greenland in 1900; secur-
ing the great meteorites, 1897, and
the crossing of Greenland in 1892 The
medal will be deposited with others
Of the Peary collection ip the National
Museum at Washington.
In replying to the presentation ad-
dress, Admiral Peary spoke OF the
Antarctic exploration and after ex-
pressing his belief that Scott, as well
as Amundsen, had attained the Pole,
he said Amundsen's journey had
demonstrated conclusively that the
Eskimo dog was the one and only
motive power for polar expeditions.

Revenue Cutter and Lighthouse
Service In Labor De
partment.

Washington.-President Taft sent
to Congress his second message Of the
present year on economy and effi.
cheney In the Government service. He
recommended legislation designed to
save more than $1l. 100000 annually.

posals were that the local Govern

and Labor Departments be placed in
the classified service and that the
Revenue Cutter Service be conso1t-
dated with the lighthouse service in
the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
BY the first change, the President
said, Congress could effect saving of
at least $10,000,000 annually, and al
though in this message he gave no
figures for the consolidation of the
two services OF the sea, in previous
message on the same subject, early
IN the year, he predicted economics
that would total about 100000
yearly.
The President concluded his mes
sage with an appeal to Congress to
appropriate the $200,0 necessary to
support the Economy Efficiency Com
mission for another year, ith=$50, 900
additional for the publication of the
commissions findings.
President Taft's principal recon.
mendations for economy were as fol-
lows:
Placing of pension agents in classi.
fed service; estimated saving $4,000
annually.
Abolition Of office of receiver Of dis
trict land offices and transfer of duties
to register, who is to be assisted by
bonded clerk; estimated saving $780,
900 annually.
Transfer Of political appointees" in
internal revenue and customs services
to classified service; estimate of saw
ing not given.
Consolidation of lighthouse and
life-saving services into Bureau of
Lighthouses; estimated saving $780,
900.
E Transfer of vessels and equipment
of Revenue Cutter Service from
Treasury to Commerce and Labor De.
partment and its abolition as a
separate service, estimated in message
on economy January II that saving
would be about $1,600,000 a year.
Consolidation of auditing offices OF
the Government under one auditory;
estimated saving 100000 annually.
Discontinuance of mileage allow
ances for Government travel and a
per diem allowance for officers and
employees in place of Subsistence"
which includes lodging for those
travelling; no estimate Of saving given.
Improved method of handling cor.
respondence; estimate of saving not
given, but predicted that labor can be
reduced so per cent.
Capitalization of the distribution Of
Government documents; estimated
saving $4,000 a year.
