PAN-AMER|CANS ARE WELL SATISFIED AT
 THE PROGRESS MADE


 Washington. January 3-Diplomatic representatives here of the Latin- American republics and chairmen of delegations to the Pan-American Scien- tific congress met today with Chilean Ambassador Suarez-Mujica, president of the congress, as chairman, to dis cuss means for co-ordinating the work of the organization Their recorded work was the selection of an execu- tive committee and resolution pro- viding for the preservation of papers read before the congress, but informal ly there was free expression of satis- faction over the progress being made toward a greater American unity.
 Speakers before the numerous diyi- sions and subdivisions of the congress today included former Secretary Bryan. John Bassett Moore, Alberto Santos Dumont the Brazilian aeronaut. and George E. Roberts of New York Scores of papers were read at the various meetings and most of them were list ened to by large audiences. Many dealt with purely technical subjects. though

SEEK TO HARMONIZE
 PAN-AMERICAN NATIONS

While the administrative branch of rne government has submitted 10 Congress a definite plan which contemplates an in- creased expenditure of more than S1, ,000. i00,000 on military and naval establish nents in the next six years, al other agencies of the government are acting to unify and harmonize the Pan-Amertcan na tions. To students of diplomacy the pan-American declarations of President N 1ison in his opening address to Congress-; the declarations for Pan American unity Secretary Lansing, and the effort for unity of all the Americas on basis of friendship and equality, take on added ton with the administrations prepared ness plans.
 The recent announcement that the ann, bassadors from Argentina, Brazil and Chile had been selected by the United States to represent it on the commissions pro- vded by the peace investigation treaties with France Great Britain and Italy is regarded as one of the significant factors in this connection.
 Significance also is seen in the disclos- ure that an effort to postpone the Pan American congress on the ground that sufficient time had not been given to pre- pare an adequate scientific programme was met by the statement that the United States was insistently desirous of taking prompt steps to further the spirit of Pan American accord, confidence, sympathy and mutuality. South American ce pitaIs uniformly report that the congress is re- garded there as more political than scien-

One Dead, EleDen Hurt In
 Explosion On Oil Tanker

New York January S-One man is dead and II others are known to be missing as a result of an explosion that wrecked the engine room of the Norwegian oil tank steamer Aztec at Brooklyn dock today. The dead man was fireman on the vessel and five of the missing men were members of the crew The other six were employed on the dock, Seven were injured, three of them seriously, Most of the victims were trapped be- low decks and those who were not in stantly killed probably were drowned by the water that flooded the engine room through a great hole blown in the side of the vessel.
 The Aztec had just left a dry dock and the cause of the explosion is unknown, although 1t is believed to have resulted from the bursting of tank of 10000 cubic

futily to recover the bodies of the victims As it was almost certain that those be- low at the time could not have escaped with their lives, it was finally decided to pump the ship dry before renewing attempts to reach the bodies.
 Most of the injured were rescued by Capt. A. F. Bennett of the tug Dalzeline which was steaming down the river near the dock at the time of the explosion Captain Bennett said he saw the body of man hurled into the air followed by al flame that shot 50 feet high and which was accompanied by terrific explosion. The body fell into the river. Captain Bennett ordered the Dalzeline under the stern of the Aztec and took off eight of the crew, all badly injured.
 The body of another man, a fireman was blown onto the deck of the Rose lands, steamer anchored e feet away.
 The Aztec was under charter to tho Interocean Transport company of New York. She recently arrived from France and went into dry dock on December 24, and was to have sailed for Rbiia< delphia this week to take on cargo for France,

Tonight, members of the Senate, The Age-Herald learns, discussed the prob ability of the President submitting all communications which have passed between this government and Euro pean powers to Congress. Color to this theory was given in the point that the President has already done all that he has authority to do, and that inasmuch as any future move in the delicate situation might lead to inter- national complications, the situation should be submitted to that body which alone can declare war.

Washington, January s.-(Special. .)-In-
 asmuch as it is a generally recognized
 fact that a President listens to applicants
 for a vacant seat on the bench of the
 of his own choice, Alabama members of
 Congress scarcely believe that an Ala
 bemian will formally apply for the toga
 of the late Justice Lamar
 However, the report that the President,
 on account of the heavy docket pend- ing, will make haste to fill the vacancy
 vas heard with great satisfaction by
 Alabamians today The long illness of
 Justice Lamar delayed the reopening of
 the dissolution suit of the government against the United States Steel corpora

 supreme court will uphold the verdict of tion a clean bill of health, and as it is known that as soon as verdict is rem dered, the corporation will begin improve | ments ultimately to cost $30.000000, quick action is greatly desired
 NAME NEW JUSTICE SOON 1 It is said that the President will name 1 a new justice within the next 10 days, 1 and that as a result, the Birmingham dis trict will be compelled to await only one, I instead of two years, the settlement of | it's industrial fate 1 It is regarded as probable that many | states of the union will name for the confederation of the President their fa- vortte sons. but it is improbable that there will ensue a scramble for the seat i of the deceased.
 Simple funeral services will be held l for the dead jurist about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning at the church in Augusta, Ga, attended for years by the Lamar family. The services will take place immediately after the arrival of the funeral party from Washington. None will be held in Washington
 After paying feeling tribute to the work and character of Justice Lamar, Chief Justice White this morning ad- journed court until Thursday. Decisions to have been announced today will be delivered next Monday. Inability of some of the justices to make an immediate trip to Georgia led the court to appoint
 Justices vandaventer, Pitney and Me
 Reynolds to represent it at the funeral at Augusta.
 TRIBUTE BY WHITE In his remarks Chief Justice White said. .'It gives me the profoundest sorrow to state the severance which has taken place of those ties of personal affection and respect which united us to our brother, MT. Justice Lamar, caused by his untimely death last night. And this sor- row, I know, is shared by his brethren of the bar to whom he was so strongly and devotedly attached, and will, I am confident, be participated in by all his countrymen as they come to feel that the country will be for the future deprived of the blessings which would have come from the future discharge of his duties as member of this court with that conspicuous ability and enlightened devo- tion to duty so clearly manifested dur ! ing the period which has gone by since I he took up his duties here this day five years ago.

], PRESENT CRISIS IS
 MOST SERIOUS YET

Washington, January 3.-Presldent VII son started to Washington from Ho1 Springs. Va, tonight to take persona charge of the nations foreign affairs ir the new crisis brought about by tht sinking of the British steamship Persia with a loss of at least one American life The situation is regarded in official circles as being the most serious to confront this government since the submarine operations of the central powers began.
 The President probably will lay the facts thus far established before his cabinet tomorrow. The destruction oi the Persia. following closely upon the crisis precipitated by the Ancona dis aster, may result in the United States determining to settle immediately all the questions involved in the submarine warfare. The subject is expected to find it's way to the floor of the House and Senate tomorrow when Congress reconvenes after the holidays.
 President Wilson decided to cut short his honeymoon and return to the capi- tai at once after telephone conferences with Secretary Lansing and Mir uHulLys HIS pflNdtc StCIoldIys u was found, however. that he could not con- veniently start until S:45 tonight
 The United States is represented to- night as being prepared and determined to take any action that the facts con- corning the Persia, yet to be estnh's~'- ed, may warrant. Officials still are tying to view the situation with al open mind, but it is apparent that they are disturbed by the reports received from consular agents at Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt.
 EVERY EFFORT TO
 ESTABLISH TRUTH
 Every effort will be made to esta blisf the truth of the report that the Persia was torpedoed without warning. Secre tary Lansing contemplates taking nt step until the complete details art known.

Officials find one source of gratifi cation in assurances given by Baror Erich Zwiedinek, charge of the Aus. tro-Hungarian embassy, to Secretary Lansing during conference today a the state department.

GIVEN TEN YEARS
 TO PREPARE WAY

Ten years is the time the navy general
 board believes the United States has i'll which to prepare for a readjustnent or world forces which will follow the Euro pean war. Tn setting 1925 as the time when the United States navy should equal any ssfioat s9hfcil means Teaclnns the | two-powers standard of the British navy the board estimated that much time would elapse before the shock of the present war passed sufficiently to permit any of the belligerents to look to South Centrs' America for colonial development or traS~ aggression.
 Plans of the army war college would be consummated in six years. The army officers take the position that the United States must have sufficient troops and troopships to land forces in any threas- ened Pan-American country to meet an invader
 All these preparations, it is now known. have been presented by strategists to the administration as essential to support of the Monroe doctrine, so that the United States may be able to act alone, if neces- say, to preserve its ideal of no entangling alliances. Such ideals the military stu dents have stated, impose new duties on the United States-duties that require something more than q policy of mere pa SSiye resistance
