SAN DIEGO A|RSH|P
! SITE URGED BY DAY
Closer to Fleet Operations
Than SunnyvaIe, Admiral
TestifieS.

Rear Admiral George C. Day, the
third member of the Naval General
Board to testify, yesterday spoke in ia
vor OF. selecting Camp Kearny. near San
Diego, Calf, IS the base from which
naval dirigibles should operate on the
West Coast.
Appearing before the House naval
committee, Admiral Day coHtended the
southern site was preferable to one at
Sunnyvale, near San Francisco, for
both peace and war uses.
Chairman Britten and other members
of the committee questioned Admiral
Day closely with regard to his conten-
tons that Camp Kearny was not in o
vulnerable position for an offshore at
tack by an enemy feet. He held that
while 1t was possible for an enemy ship
to get within range of the site and out
of range of the Coast Guard guns at
Point Iona, it was hardly possible for
it to be effective.
I'm war time Camp Kearny would be
preferable, because 1t would be 400 miles
nearer the center of the area In which
the center Of operations might be ex-
pected," Admiral Day said.
I'm peace time, Kearny would provide
lighter-than-air base that would be
nearer the center Of fleet operations.
In both peace and war it would provide
near San Francisco Bay, where there
Is more fog and stronger winds"
Admiral Day said, in answer to o
question by Chairman Britten, that II
q dirigible base were established near
San Francisco Bay additional heavier
than-air defense would be needed to
protect 1t and San Francisco.

HUGHES DECISION
. LIMITS U. S. COURT
Chief Justice Holds Lower
Tribunal Cannot Enioin.
State Rail Rates.

The Federal Courts are without au-
thority to enjoin interstate rates made
by State commissions prior to action on
them by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Chief Justice Hughes, In an
exhaustive opinion, held In Supreme
Court yesterday. The decision mate
rally clarifies questions OF controversy
In railroad circles.
The question arose In North Dakota
where lower distributing or jobbing
class rates made by the Board Of Rail-
road Commissioners were enjoined by a
statutory three-judge court. Public
Service Commissions In 81 States Joined
in protesting against the havoc they
commended would exist should the Fed
eral courts prevent State-made rates
from becoming effective.
Put Up to I. C., G.
Chief Justice Hughes held that the
question whether there Is injury and
what the measure shall be to prevent 1t
was committed for solution to the Inter-
the court had not the machinery nor
the facilities for making an investiga-
ton into the reasonableness Of o State
rate.
The protest Of the Pittsburgh b West
Virginia Railroad against the leasing
of facilities In the Union Station at
Cleveland by the Wheeling & Lake
Erie, and the abandonment by the latter
of its Ontario street station, was dis
missed on the ground that the Pitts
burgh & West Virginia Railroad did not
have proper interest in the controversy
to maintain the proceedings.
Turns Down Five Cases.
Tho court refused tn review FIVE cases
presenting controversies involving
mortgages issued by the Minneapolis
& st. Louis Railroad and by the Des

themselves to the Americans and offered
their services as q bodyguard. Asked
what they wanted, they requested
lunches, and promised In return to lead
the way. The cost Of lunches was pro-
vided ct small expense, and the Ameri-
cans made their trip without molesta-
ton. But neither bandits nor soldiers
were sighted.
The most dangerous banditry occurs
on the rivers, according to Rev. Ed
wards. For this reason the junks now
are armor plated. The ATTACKS" con-
sist chiefly In rifle fire from the banks,
designed to brighten the crew into
bringing the boat ashore to pay toll for
safe passage. Occasionally pirates come
aboard the boats and rob. They are ex-
pert at boarding. Long bamboo poles
and the attackers swarm up. On board,
they usually make for the captains
quarters and make on with any money
and food they are able to find.
Social Customs Need Changing.
Among the social customs Of China
which must be changed II the country
Is to progress, according to Rev. Ed
wards, are those Of the unburied dead
and the ancestral graves. Chinese bodies
are usually not inferred except at times
specified BY the priests. The time for
burying In determined by wind and
wave"
sometimes Il seems as IL everything
in China is governed by wind and by
wave. It is Just so much confusion to
the Western mind. In fact, doubt II
the priests themselves always know how
they arrive at their deductions"
The buryings do not come at any
regular time and often the bodies are
not inferred when the priests permit It.
He said there are 5000 unburied dead In
the City Of Kutsing.
When buried, the graves present an
other problem. Frequently, the most
fertile pieces of farming land are de-
voted to the graves. One-eighth Of
China Is graveyard, he estimated.
Even under the monarchy, China
never has had a government of the en-
pire. The influence Of Peking was limit.
ed to q comparatively small area, and
aside from the paying Of taxes, the
provincial governors ruled almost inde-
pendently. The Marking government,
which may best be characterized as an
attempt to keep China for Chinese" in
addition to its struggle to enable long
subject people to govern themselves
faces the additional task of spreading
national government over provinces that
never have known outside authority
any stronger than nominal.
