Harbor Defense Defective

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-In time
of war it would not be difficult to cut
on from ammunition and necessities
OF life the strongest defense to the har-
nor entrance at San Francisco, accord
ing to the annual report Of Brig.-Gen
w. ). Schuyler, commanding the de-
partment Of California. In a report to
General Schuyler, Col. John p. Wiser.
commanding the district Of San Fran
cisco, says OF the Notifications there:
Fort Barry is probably the strong
est defense OF the entrance to this
magnificent harbor-the great STRAIT
egic point on this coast-and yet in
time Of war it could be supplied with
ammunition and the necessities of life
only with the greatest difficulty, due
to the defect in wharf and roads.
Battery Kirby, at Fort Baker, also suf-
fers under similar disadvantage, and
should be made more easily accessible
by means OF good road just above
the water level around the cliff. At
present it can be reached from Fort
Baker proper by road over the high hill

To Recoup Heavy Losses

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec 19.-With
view to recouping the heavy losses
sustained by San Bernardino county
through the operation of amendment
No. 1. a conference was held by Dis
tr'ct Attorney Goodcell, Senator j. l..
Avey and Assemblymen Johnson and
Cram, looking to the Introduction OF
three bills in the coming legislature to
correct the difficulties encountered by
this and other counties.
One bill will provide for the reim-
bursement Of the county over and
above $4,000. paid to the county in
1911 and 1912, and another will au-
thorize the state board Of equaliza-
ton in the future to determine the
amount of loss sustained by the county
and pay the same, and the third bill
is to permit any county dissatisfied
with the amount awarded it by the
state board to file suit against the
state.
Through the large amount Of rail-
road mileage in the county it loses
very heavily through the operation Of
the amendment. The county authOri-
ties have placed the loss actually sus-
lained as high as S15O,000 annually
and increasing from year to year.
When the measure first become law
the state authorities were authorized
to reimburse the county to the extent
of $4,000 annually, but this is SAID
to be but about One-third the actual
loss of the county.

Wholesale Pardons

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 19-The
action of Governor Donaghey in issu-
ing pardons to $50 cOnvicts in the
state penitentiary because Of his Oh
JectiOn to the lease system is being
severely criticized by officials of the
state. Congressman Joseph 4. Rob-
insOn and governOr-elect, who sue
ceeds Governor DOnaghey next month
says that Governor Donaghey's action
in pardoning $50 cOnvicts at the close
of his four years as an alleged pro-
lest against the lease system which ne
permitted to prevail throughout his
administration is unwarranted and ret--
rogressive. at is gross abuse OF pow.
er," he says. (which should be exer-
cised for the sake Of justice, reason

Army Needs Avlators

WASHINGTON, Dec. i9.-The ne
cessity Of teaching army officers to be-
come expert aviatOrs is emphasized in
the annual report of Brigadier- General
Allen, chief signal officer of the
army.
General Allen says the number Of
expert civilian aviators now available
in thc United STATE, is not large enough
to provide an adequate auxiliary, AMI
he believes no marked advance will be
made in the manufacture Of aerOplanes
i'll this country unless the manufacture
ers receive support from the govern
ment.
Manufacturers all believe" said
General Allen, that the construction
of aeroplanes for exhibition work vir-
tually is at an end and the number
so far purchased for purposes Of
amusement has not reached the figure
expected. In case Of emergency il
seems improbable that any considerable
number OF properly constructed ma
chimes adapted to military service could
be purchased abroad within a reason
able time.
at is accepted that the aeroplane
Improvement were made in it, is an
essential military auxiliary, and up 70
this time it appears that the mill
tary and naval services are the only
ones in which it is Of special value.
Therefore it would seem that provi.
sion for approximately 400 aviators
and 100 machines and the estimate Of
aviation centerS would be not unrea-
sonable on the part OF this govern
ment. With this number provided for
the regular service, the art could be
extended to the officers Of the National
Guard, on whom the government is to
depend for the large number of ayi-
ators that would be required in an ex-
tended war"
The appropriation granted by con-
gress for the support Of army aero
nautics is trifle. the report declares,
when compared with the French aero
nautical budget of 1888, 900 for 1913.
An act Of the last session of con-
gress appropriated only 100000 "for
the purchase, maintenance, operation
and repair Of airships and other aeria,
machines"
The French government is now plan
Elng to organize an aviation regimen.
Of 1000 aeroplanes.
AT this time about 1000 pilots have
been licensed in France, including Of
flcers and civilians. In the United
states 17S have been so licensed.

Defaulter CAPTURED

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 19.-In flight from
this city with $500 cash, which he
is alleged to have misappropriated
while acting as agent for the Buchanan
Springs Lithia Water Company and
with money and negotiable paper Of
an estimated total of $4,000 to $50, 900
which he is said to have received from
ranchers and others as subscriptions
to stock in bank he proposed to es-
tablish at Lakeside, Quinn Miller
stopped at Vancouver, Wash, to cash
a draft for $500 and was captured.
Presumably Miller was bound for
Canada and wished. to convert some
of the bankable paper into cash be-
fore crossing the border. When he
presented the draft Miller introduced
himself as T. H. Carney. The cashier
of the bank became suspicious and
telegraphed to the First National bank
of this city, on which the draft was
drawn, for information. Knowing of
Miller's flight, officers Of the bank no
tilted County Detective McDuell, who
by telegraphic communication ident-
fed Carney and caused his arrest. He
will beb rOught back here to answer TO
4 Clldl &c VI lOI SCls piCiCiiCu oo"Aii''1
him by z. J. KObler Of the Buckman
springs company.
What amount of money Miller col
lected as stock subscriptions to the
proposed Lakeside bank has not been
ascertained, as some Of his supposed
dupes refuse to admit their losses and
others who subscribed say they did nor
pay in cash.
E. F. Foote of Lakeside, who was
interested with Miller in the bank pro-
motion scheme, says an investigation
has convinced him that the amount col
Iected by Miller does not exceed S1150,
but Detective McDuell said the amour:
might reach $4,000.
Miller disappeared three weeks ago
and was supposed to be in hiding
until he appeared in Vancouver.
