Los ANGELES, Dec. 20.-The sea

Paul Banzhaf, the young sheetmetal
worker, who discovered the second
pontoon, the wing tip of the aeroplane,
and pieces of clothing on the rocks off
Barney's camp south Of RedOndo.
Tuesday, was the man who found the
body Of Lawrence.
II was shortly after daylight. The
alert watchman with two companions,
saw the body cast about for half an
hour before it lodged on the rocks at
a point where he could reach it without
sacrificing his life in the treacherous
currents and tide-rip. He made a
hasty examination then ana telephOncd
his news to the heavy hearted friends
waiting in this city.
The body of Horace kcarney. the
man who piloted the luckleSs craft
was found a mile off shore from San
Pctr's point, at 3 o'clock in The after
noon by George B. Harrison, news
paper reporter. and Harry Lynch of San
Pedro. The two had gone out in a
boat and charted their course 50 that
they would certainly cross the cur

that kearney went down with his ma

before he could seize the lifepreserVer

drowned shortly after they alighted in
the sea. This may have been as early
as 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Information concerning the tindlDs
OF the first body was conveyed to the
authorities Immediately and Coroner
Hartwell ordered George Cate, an un-
dertaker in Redondo, to send out for
the body and remove it to his place.
The work Of rescuing the body from
the rocks was difficult and it was not
until the afternoon that it was taken
to RedOndO.
Harrison and Lynch made rope fast

found it ana towed it into Redondo.

Washington, Jan. 16-Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who gave out a
statement saying that he would recon.
mend to congress government owner
ship and operation of all telegraph
lines. was summoned to the White
House by President Taft
Mr.. Hitchcock, on his way in to see
the president, would not discuss the
matter in any way. 1t was reported.
however, that whatever feeling exist
ed at the White House was caused
mainly by the absence of information
there a. to Mr. Hitchcock's intentions.
II was said President Taft would
make his attitude perfectly clear when
he sent to congress the Hughes CON-
fnissisp report on second class mat
ter. This report is expected in the
near future.
The tYesident may content himself
with expressing his personal views on
the government ownership of public
utilities and make 1t plain that Mr.
Hitchcocks views are individual and
do not reflect a policy Of the admins
tration. The report itself may be ma
terially changed before 1t reaches con-
grsss.
The postmaster generals statement
was news to the White House and is
said to have caused the greatest sur
prise there.
After Mr. Hitchcock had been In
conference with President Taft for
mere than an hour an authoritative
statement was made at the White
House that there had been no friction
between the president and the post
master general over the latters pro
