PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-Dis-
covery Of the probable site Of the
first settlement by Columbus in the
New World-lost since q handful
Of Spaniards in armor died in a
battle with naked Indians four CEN
turies ago-was reported today to
the American Philosophical Society.
The settlement, known as Navi-
dad, was established on the north
coast of Haiti by Columbus in jan
uary, 1893. on his first voyage Of dis
covery. He returned II months later,
but the fort had been burned and
the garrison Of 40 men slain.
The discovery was reported by
Samuel E. Morrison, Harvard Univer-
sity historian, who last January re-
traced Columbus route in that
vicinity.
To approximate the conditions
met by Columbus, Mr.. Morrison and
a small group Of companions made
the voyage In sailboat about the
same size as the Spanish vessels.
Route Described.
Mr.. Morrison described the route
taken by Columbus in approaching
Haiti from Cuba with hts two re-
manning ships, the Santa Maria and
the Nina.
Through the sailing directions and
records left by the explorer himself,
the historian located the reef of
Cape Haitien, where Columbus flag
ship ran aground on Christmas eve,
1492-the event that led Columbus
to leave the 40 meh behind while
the one remaining ship returned to
Spain.
Because the greater part of Car
acol Bay-not far fresl the reef-is
fringed with margrove swamp,

In Expected Order
0y the Associated Press.

Reports reached Capitol Hill yes
terday that President Roosevelt was
considering transferring the Recon
struction Finance Corp. and other
Government lending agencies to the
Commerce Department in the first
reorganization move under authority
granted him recently by Congress
The contemplated reorganization
order, which some legislators said
they expected to be issued next week
also might include the Federal Hous-
ing Administration and Home Own
ers' Loan Corp, thus consolidating
major business recovery agencies
under one command, 1t was said.
In addition, there were reports the
President was considering transfer
ring to the Interior Department both
the Biological Survey, now In Agri-
culture, and the Bureau of Fisheries
now in Commerce.
Jones Declines Comment.
Although Chairman Jesse Jones
OF the r. F. c. declined to comment
1t was reported authoritatively that
he had discussed with some Sena-
tors the possibility the agency might
be brought within the scope of the
Commerce Department, headed by
President Roosevelt's close friend
rand adviser, Secretary Hopkins
MIR. Jones was described as oppos-
Ing this move, and there were indi-
cations that If 1t were made 1t
would bring about the first test of
the section of the reorganization
bill which permits an executive or
der shifting bureaus to stand unless
both houses of Congress vote disap-
proval within 80 days.
One Senator, who asked that his
name not be used, said he regarded
the r. F.. C.'s reduction in interest
rates on loans this week as the
opening gun in campaign to stave
OF any change in the agency's
status. The r. F. c. cut interest
rates on loans to business from S
per cent to 4.
Political implications Seen.
This was regarded in some quar-
ters as anticipating any spectacular
move toward stimulating business
that might be made subsequent to
q transfer.
This Senator said there was little
doubt that if the agency were placed
under the Commerce Department,
Mr.. Jones soon would step out as its
chief.
The prospective reorganization
move also held political implca-
tions, inasmuch as Mr.. Jones is a
close associate Of Vice President
Garner and has been popularity
credited recently with supporting
Mr.. Garner for the Democratic
presidential nomination in 1910.
