HAWKINS, Da 1 1 , Oregon BRITISH SHU BlUNGS BODY Late AmbiiNNador to England Re ceive Jliieh Honors. Portamouth, EnglandThe British armored cruiser Natal sailed out of I'ortsmouth harbor Saturday afternoon with the . body of Ambassador Jtefd on board, amid a salute of 19 guns. l'ull naval honors were paid to the body of AmbaMHndor Keid on its ar rival at thin port from Iondon. Admiral Bir Hudworth Meux, the commander of the port, and all the high naval olllcera stationed here were present at the station when the train drew In. As it hulled at tho platform Nelson's flagship, tho Victory, fired a sulute of 19 guns. Tho coffin was borne across the jetty oh the shoulders of eight petty officers of the British navy and taken on board tho armored cruiser Natal, from the mainmast of which vessel tho United States ensign was immediately broken. All the ships in the harbor end at Spithead raised the Stars and Strlpoa to their mastheads 'as the coffin was taken on board the Natal and then lowered (hem to half mast. The jetty was carpeted. with purple, while guards of honor of marines and blue jackets atood with reversed arms on each side as the casket was taken through. The petty officers bearing the caaket walked slowly to the mortuary chapel, lined with purple, which had been erected on the weather deck of the Natal, and as they deposited it on the catafalque, the ship's bugler soundod the ;LaHt Post," while the crews of the warships lined the rails. ' The wreaths sent by President Taft and members of the royal family com pletcdly filled the little mortuary chapel,-which was so placed that it could be lowered in case of heavy weather. ' '., By a coincidence, the hospital ship Maine, presented to England by Amer ican women, was moored just outside the cruiser Natal. There was no service on board the Natal, which left port Immediately on schedule time, passing through the lines of the other vessels, which all had their flags at half mast, and their crews standing at the salute. SPEED WOULD BE ECONOMY Engineer Recommends Rapid Work Done On Cclilo Canal. Washington, D. C How $100,000 in cash and more than a year in time can be saved on the construction of the Cclilo canal is fully set forth in a report by ,Captain II. II. Roberts, of the Army Engineer corps, recently transmitted to congress. It remains to be seen whether congress will be willing to direct this economy by in creasing the appropriations for the canal, so tho work can be completed by January 1, 1915. The report of Captain Roberts, heretofore reviewed briefly, summarizes the appropriation to date, showing a total of ?3, 150,000, and adds: "The amount required to be appro priated for completion of the existing project is $1,808,392.64. "The delay incurred since January 1, 1912, as compared with what would have been the rate of progress had ample funds been available, is esti mated as at least six months, there having been necessary reservation made of a portion of the then avail able funds to provide for the possi bility of no funds becoming available by the last river and harbor act. This delay was made up of reduction of force and partial suspension of work for several months, total suspension of work for about two months, together with additional delays incident to de livery of materials, collection of force, etc., necessarily incurred in starting the work again. "After careful consideration of present conditions, it is believed that in view of the above-mentioned delays already incurred, the canal cannot be completed to best advantage before January 1, 1915, even 'with ample funds available for the work. The canal can, however, with funds avail able, be completed by that date, which is one year and six months in advance of June 25, 1916, the time orginally proposed in the river and harbor act of June 25, 1910. Beggar Proves Slugger. Kansas City When a young man met E. W. Andrews on the street here and asked for something to eat, he was surprised at Andrews' willingness to comply. "Yes, I will buy you some thing to eat," Andrews said, as he led the way to a restaurant. Then An drews summoned an officer. Andrews hnd rfwiimized him aa one of two men who slugged and robbed him a few nights before. "I hope I have secured free board for you for a long time," Andrews said as he gave him over to the policeman. Death May Free Suspect. New Westminster, B. C. On Jan uary 7 next Charles Dean, the only Bank of Montreal robbery suspect now held in this city, may regain his free dom. The prisoner's solicitor was granted an order calling upon the at torney general to show cause why the prisoner should not be discharged. Since the preliminary trial one of the principal witnesses, who claims to have seen the accused in the automo bile with four other men, has died. Destroyer Balch Launched. Philadelphia The torpedo boat de stroyer Balch was launched Saturday from the Cramp shipyard. Miss Grace Balch, of Washington, a descendant of Commodore Balch, christened the ves sel. The destroyer is a sister ship to the Aylwin, launched from Cramps' a month ago. The vessel is 300 feet long and has 37 feet beam. MORGAN DEPOSITS HIGH IN MILLIONS Financier Confirms Figures of Government Prosecutors. Investigating Committee Goes Deep Into Secrets of I!ig Banking Institutions of World. Washington, D. C. J. Plerpont 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 a subpoena from the com mittee, but Jt waa 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 mags of sta tistics which Mr. Untermyer and the committee were piling 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 hii firm referred to many times as tables were presented show ing the affiliations of that concern with many1, banks, trust companies, transportation and industrial corpora tions, lie appeared unmoved through out it all. , Mr. Mogan's testimony lusted 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 a matter to be left to the discre tion of the board of directors of the corporations in question. Mr. Morgan confirmed data prepared by members of the Morgan house showing that 66 accounts with the Morgan firm in January last had de posits of $68,113,000 and that 78 ac counts on November 1 had deposits of $81,968,000. The total capital, sur plus and funded debt of these deposi tors, Mr. Untermyer said, was $9, 765,000,000. 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 J. Scudder, which were placed in the records. This explanation showed that the charts -dealt with the affiliation of 180 directors in 18 banks and trust companies in New York, Chicago and Boston. It sohwed that "these 180 men held directorships in 134 banks and trust companies, trans portation and industrial corporations having total resources or capitaliza tion of $25,325,000,000." AIRMEN FOUND OCEAN GRAVE Biplane Seen to Lurch and Disap pear Wreckage Identified. Los Angeles A section of a biplane, a life preserver and a gauntlet, fur ther 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 a 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 a changing current of wind and then drop down behind a high bluff which intervened. Elk Will Cross Oregon. Washington, D. C. Representative Raker recently secured permission from, the department of the interior for the transfer of 50 elk from the Yellowstone national park to the Shasta forest reserve, at the request of the Redding Game association. Raker was notified that the game war den of Oregon would not permit the transportation of the animals through that state. Raker protested to the United States biological survey, which has telegraphed the Oregon authorities to permit the passage of the elk. Guile Denied By Russia. St. Petersburg "There is no ground for suspecting Russia of selfish de signs in the Balkans," was the state ment of Premier Kokovosoff in the Douma in the course of a speech on the policy of the Ruiisian government. He said that as the great Slavonic and orthodox power, Russia could not be indifferent as to "whether the Bal kan peoples obtain better conditions of existence and thus avert dangerous complications in the future."
