JAPAN AFTER COALING
STATION NEAR CANAL

Washington, D. c., May 6.-InYesti-
cation by the federal authorities, It
was learned today, is to be made Of the
reported japanese efforts to secure
control Of the RoncadOr islands, which
lie about 100 miles off the Atlantic en-
trance to the Panama. canal. George @.
Crater, IT., president OF the Carib bean
Guano company. owners Of the island,
came to Washington today following
the publication of the plans of an al
legged japanese steamship company TO
turn ROnCadOr island into a coal sta
ton.
It is among the probabilities that the
state department viii demand first
hand information regarding letters
which Mr.. Crater has in hand from ia
pan. In his statement that Japanese
engineers had been surveying the har-
Dor of ROncadOr, George T. Burns, an
engineer in the employ Of the Carib-
bean company, said that they had in
formed him a Japanese steamship COM
pauy wanted the islands as a coaling
station and port Of call for q passenger
and freight service which it was to or
ganize.
The fact is significant. inasmuch as
the RoncadOrs are barren, save for the
rich deposits Of guanO that they con-
tain. There are neither passengers nor
freight on the Islands to make them
profitable to any steamship company.
