REPLY EXPECTED
TO LODGE RESOLUTION
Senate Looks for Information
Concerning laps at Mag
dalena Bay.

An early reply is expected to be made
by the State Department. through the
President. to the Lodge resolution, adopt
ed yesterday by the Senate, asking the
President to send to the Senate any in
formation in the possession of the gov
eminent relating to the purchase of land
at Magdalena bay in Mexico by the
japanese government or a japanese COM
pany.
Senator Lodge admitted that the resolu-
ton was prompted by cable dispatches
from Toxic to American newspapers last
Sunday, saying that the purchase Of the
land for naval base was being negotiat-
ed. But even before that Senator Lodge
knew of the reports, for he made q
reference to them in his speech in Feb
ruary on the arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France. Mr.. Lodge's
position on the Senate committee on for
eign relations and his familiarity with
State Department matters have given
added significance to his reference in that
speech.
He said, on that occasion, in part:
Suppose, for example. some great
eastern power should directly or indi-
the west coast of Mexico for the pur-
pose of making 1t naval station and a
place of arms.
Knew of Movement.
Il am using no Imagination in suggest
ing such a case. 1t is not very long
since an indirect movement was begun.
and it is apparently still on foot, to OBJ
tain possession for a foreign power Of
Magdalena bay, so l may fairly suppose
that such a case might arise. II it did.
We should Immediately intervene.
I'VE should declare that this was a
violation of our constant policy known
as the Monroe doctrine. The nation seek
ing the station on the coast of Mexico
would then say, Very well. let us take
this to arbitration We could not help
ourselves. for under the terms Of the
treaty either party to dispute can bring
the other before the high commission of
inquiry, and the Monroe doctrine would
then be submitted to them by us as a
bar to the arbitrability of the question.
What chance do you think the Monroe
doctrine would have before a commission
made up in part Of persons not Ameri-
cans? The Monroe doctrine is not inter-
national law

Pouch Found Slit.

When the currency pouch was turned
over at Roanoke it was in good condition.
1t was placed in safe. of which the
messenger in charge was not supposed
to know the combination. On arrival at
Norfolk the pouch was found to be slit
from top to bottom. and two-thirds of the
currency originally contained in it was
missing.
James A. Sample of the Treasury De-
partment declined today to discuss the
loss, saying that it had not been officially
reported to him. In any case, Mr.. Sample
said. the government will not have to
stand the loss of the money.
The United States Express Company,
which was to have brought the currency
into Washington. retains the rif1ed pouch
and the $1,000 that was left of the con-
signment at Norfolk, where an investiga-
ton is being made. 1t was stated today
that no clue has been found, and the ex-
press company's detectives working on
the case are completely mystified.

GOES TO COURT
TO COMPEL PROMOTION

Alfred A. Doolittle, a teacher in the
public high schools at a salary of. 81 500,
desires to he promoted to group of
class 6. whose members are paid from
81 800 to 5000 annually, without being
required to submit to an examination.
which was ordered for Monday and
Tuesday of this week for all candidates
for promotion to group B. His claim to
this promotion has not been recognized.
he says. by Supt. Davidson. who has de-
clined to recommend the promotion to the
board Of education, unless Mr.. Doolittle
should pass the examination.
Through Attorneys Severn and Joyce
the teacher today asked the District Su-
preme Court for mandamus compelling
Supt. Davidson to recommend at once to
the board of education the filing of one
of the vacant places in group B by the
promotion of Mr.. Doolittle. The court
also is requested to direct the members
Of the board of education Immediately
to promote Mr.. Doolittle on receipt OF
the recommendation of the superin-
tendent.
Source of His Claim.
Mr. Doolittle's claim dates back to the
incumbency of Or. w. e. Chancellor in
the SUPPLEMENTARY Of schools, At that
time an examination was calleu u III
vacancies in group B, the court is told,
and Mr.. Doolittle submitted to the eX-
animation
When the six vacancies then existing IN
the group had been filled Mr.. Doolittle
discovered he was not of the CHOSEN
ones. On application to DR.. Chancellor,
he says, he was told he had not made
the requisite 60 per cent for promouon.
This information, he states. was I'M
parted to him by the superintendent IN
1907, and it was not until January 70.
1905 that he was able to learn that his
mark had been 70 per cent in the exam
ination, and that he should have been
third in the order of promotion. and had
been illegally excluded from group T..
He then asserted his claim to Supt. Stu
art. who had succeeded DR.. Chancellor,
but, as no vacancies existed in the group,
the matter remained in allegiance
When the present vacancy arose, Mr.
Doolittle states, he pressed his claim be-
fore Supt. Davidson, but has been ad-
vised by him that he will not recommend
the teacher for promotion as a result of
passing the previous examination, but
that he must compete for the promotion
in the examination ordered by Supt. Da-
wilson. 8.
