AIRMEN FOUND OCEAN GRAVE

Their evidence of the fate of the avia-
tor, Horace Kearney and his passen-
ger, Chester Lawrence, were found
on the beach about nine miles south of
Redondo. Two boys discovered the
articles entangled in heavy mass of
kelp, part of which had been cast on
the rocks.
That Kearney's hydroaeroplane
plunged into the ocean soon after it
had passed out Of sight beyond Point
Firmin was indicated by the discovery
of the wreckage, and this theory was
strengthened by the story of R. J.
Kinney, a ranch hand on the Palos
Verdes ranch near Point Vicente, who
may have seen the fatal fall of the
two men. Kinney reported that he
was working some distance from the
ocean Saturday afternoon and caught
sight. of the aeroplane as it rounded
the point. He saw the machine sud-
denly lurch as if caught in changing
current of wind and then drop down
behind high bluff which interviewed.

AvIATORs ARE LOST AT SEA
Wrecked POntOon Found BY Fish
ermen, But No Trace of Men.

Los Angeles Resting places on the
bottom Of the Pacific Ocean, few
miles from land, are believed to have
been accorded by fate to Horace
Kearney, the young Kansas City avi-
ator, and his passenger, Chester Law
renee, a Los Angeles newspaper man,
who started with him as a passenger
on an attempted flight in hydroaero-
plane to San Francisco.
After nearly 80 hours of searching,
in which another hydroaeroplane, nu-
merous power boats and automobiles
were used, hope virtually has been
abandoned
Faith in the proverbial luck of
Aviator Kearney was shattered when
party of fishermen arrived in Santa
Monica towing behind their motor
boat hydroaeroplane pontoon. 1t had
been picked up five miles southwest
of Redondo Beach, and was positively
Unidentified by Charles Day as the one
he had constructed for Kearny's hydro
aerOplane.

AERoNAUTs DRIVEN TO SEA
Racing Boats Reach Wrecked Bal
loon in Nick Of Time.

Los Angeles = Two men and boy
who were in the basket of a captive
balloon that was parted from its cable
in Venice, seashore resort, by 80
mile gale, were rescued four miles at
sea.
One of the men, Sidney Neal Hamp-
ton, the ballon's pilot, was unconscious
when his body was disentangled from
the mass of cordage enwrapping the
big gasbag. John Waggoner, the
other man, was picked up as he was
battling with the heavy seas for the
life of the lad, Charles Jordan, aged 9
years. The boy was unnjured.
The rescue was effected within ten
minutes after the balloon struck the
water. Captain George Childs, of the
motor vessel Music, dragged Hampton
abroad, while the crew of the racing
|slo0p Mischief picked up Waggoner
and the boy from the water some dis
lance from where the sand-weighted
balloon had sunk.
The gasbag, with its vents pulled
wide open, was fast being debated
and threatening momentarily to en-
velop the two men and the boy and
press them beneath the surface when
the Music and the Mischief sped along
side.

EASY TO GET RICHES
IMPLY MATTER or SLEEPING
WHILE MONEY AccUMuLATEs.
come Difficulties In the Way, But as a
Matter OF Theory the Thing Is
About as Simple 40 Can
Be Made.

we have heard much of "get rich
quick" schemes, but few of us have
found them to be of practical value
lhey are fine ideas, but they do not
work. Now, a nice get rich slow
scheme ought to succeed. A few days
ago man gave certain city a thou
sand dollars and told that city not te
Use it for $50 years. At the end OF
hat time 1t will be something more
nan nineteen million dollars if the
nan who told the story figured il
light. There could not be an easier
way to be millionaire than that. Just
hang around ESQ years and the money
is yours.
Of course none of us could possibly
wait SO long for so much money un
ess we We're asleep, and that is just
ne point. Somebody ought. to fix vi
IN easy sort OF near poison which
would put us to sleep and the thing
would be done. That should not be
ililcult. Such thing must have beer
lone at one time, because we all know
,hat whole kingdom was asleep TO,
ever SO long, and might still be asleer
foolish youth had not Weakened
5eauty, and nobody else would stay
1sleep after Beauty was awake. AND
even in our own time, Or at least much
closer to it, there was Rip Van Wrinkle
who slept for 20 years. If he had not
been SO shiftless, and had put little
money in the bank before he went tc
leep he ight have been comfortable
for the rest Of his life.
And SO, if everybody who had g
thousand dollars would put it in the
bank and take some sleep generator
le could wake up in $50 years or zoe
years or hundred years, according to
aow rich he, wanted to be, and would
be millionaire. Even if a person did
not have thousand dollars to begin
with he could in the end have few
millions. Of course if everybody was
going to be rich it might not be sc
1nuch fun, but we would get used to il
| after while. There would not be
any trouble about getting somebody
to stay awake and take care of the
banks, for d great many people have
entirely too much money already and
great many more would not take
| chances Of losing what they had even
for SIC, 100000.
There is just one serious drawbacks
to the scheme, and that may make il
impossible. What are we going to dc
about the cost Of living? Two hun
dred and fifty years is a long time
and the cost of living would grow sc
much in that time that $19,000,0OC
would look like 10 cents instead OF
| like thousand dollars. And no pow
er on earth can ever put the cost OF
living to sleep.-New York Times.

Naval Battle Is a Draw.

Sedil-Bahr, Dardanelles = Another
naval battle was begun between the
Turkish and Greek fleets Thursday
morning near the entrance to the OAR
danelles. The firing was heavy.
After the naval battle off the OAR
danelles, the Turkish warships re-
turned to their anchorage with flags
flying and bands playing amid the en-
thusiastic applause of the crowds lin
ing the shore.
According to an eye witness who
verifes the official report of the en-
gagement, after a long-range ex-
change of shots, the smaller Greek
vessels retired, leaving the pride of
the Greek navy, the cruiser Georgia
Averoff, to bear the brunt of the fight
ing. The cruiser seemed to be using
only her small caliber guns and
showed signs of having been sturck by
three or four shells. Finally she
slowly retired from the combat.

MORGAN DEPOSITS
HIGH IN MILLIONS
Financier Confirms Figures Of
Government Prosecutors.
Investigating Committee Goes Deep
Into Secrets of Big Banking
Institutions of World.

Washington, ID. C.-J. Pierpont
Morgan occupied the center Of the
stage Thursday before the so-called
money trust investigating committee
of the house Of representatives. The
noted financier reached Washington in
response to subpoena from the COM
mittee, but it was not until 2:40 in
the afternoon that the way was
cleared for his testimony to begin.
Meantime Mr.. Morgan sat for nearly
an hour listening to the mass of sta
tistics which Mr.. Untermyer and the
committee were piljng up concerning
the colossal financial operations Of
leading New York, Chicago and Bos-
ton institutions, through so-called in
terlocking directorates.
Mr.. Morgan heard his own name and
that of his firm referred to many
times as tables were presented show
ing the affiliations of that concern
with many banks, trust companies,
transportation and industrial corpora
tions. He appeared unmoved through
out it all.
Mr.. Mogan's testimony lasted barely
20 minutes and was largely prelimi-
nary.
The chief point made was that he
favored allowing interstate corpora
tions to deposit their funds in the
hands of private bankers without re-
stricting them to institutions under
government supervision. He said this
was matter to be left to the discre-
ton of the board of directors of the.
corporations in question.
Mr.. Morgan confirmed data prepared
by members of the Morgan house
showing that sc accounts with the
Morgan firm in January last had de-
posits of $6S, 113, 900 and that 70 ac-
counts on November had deposits of
$81, 1868, 900. The total capital, sur
plus and funded debt of these deposit
tors, Mr.. Untermyer said, was So
765, 100000. Mr.. Morgan agreed to
this.
Prior to Mr.. Morgan's examination
the committee heard testimony bear
ing upon the so-called concentration of
money and credits. This was present
ed in the form of charts prepared by
Philip ]. Scudder, which were placed
in the records. This explanation
showed that the charts dealt with the
utilization of 1870 directors in 18 banks
and trust companies in New York,
Chicago and Boston. 1t SOLVED that
"these 1870 men held directorships in
1874 banks and trust companies, trans
portation and Industrial corporations
having total resources or capitaliza-
ton of $25, 1926, 900, O0O."

Washington, D. C.-The question of
a successor to Ambassador Reid, even
during the short period remaining to
the Taft administration, is regarded
as Of great Importance. The diplo-
matte situation growing out of Eng
lands protest against discrimination
in Panama canal tolls and demand
for arbitration unless matters are SIM
plifed by legislation, requires that
this government be prepared to act
promptly in any emergency.
John Hays Hammond, great per-
sonal friend and Yale classmate of
President Taft, also possessed of great
wealth, is considered as ambitious for
the honor, even of a short stay at the
court of st. James.

PEACE CONFERENCE HALTED
Greece Continues Hostilities and
Turks Wait Instructions.

IS
London-The peace conference was
launched only to be interrupted by .
complication resulting from the policy
of Greece in waging war and negotiat-
ing peace simultaneously. The Turk
ish delegation announced that it was
empowered to confer only with the
three Balkan kingdoms which signed
the armistice at Tchatalja, and as 9
consequence adjournment was taken tc
obtain instructions.
All the conferees expressed the be-
lief that the suspension is merely tenn
porary and that a.pathway toward the
resumption of the meetings will be
found.
The prospects for successful issue
of the conference are enhanced by the
declaration of the Turks that they
have plenary powers to arrange and
sign treaty of peace. How far theil
improved military position, with the
encouragement Austria is credited
with giving them, may stiffen theil
backs against the allies terms re.
mains in doubt.
The first sitting of the ambassador.
ial court of appeals, as it is called,
was held in the foreign Office. The
ambassadors of five continental powers
conferred with Sir Edward Grey, the
British secretary for foreign affairs,
for more than three hours. The differ.
ent nations advanced their views or
the Eastern problem.
The contingency that mediation may
offer the only solution of the war has
been the subject of much discussion.
The heads of the Bulgarian and Serv-
ian delegations, in interviews, recog.
nized that the United States might be
in position to act as peacemaker.
The naval fight off the Dardanelles
in which both Greece and Turkey
claimed victory, was resumed Thurs
day. Athens announces that the

The friction between Austria anc
Servia appears not to have abated
The Servians complain that Austrian
gunboats in the Danube are INDUCING
