PLAM WIRELESS FEATS

Messages to Be Sent 3,000 iMiles Between Station in East and Warships. HIGH TOWER ON BRANT ROCK Scout Cruisers Salem and Birming ham Are Equipped with Instruments for Experiments. The navy Is soon to conduct experi ments in Iong-disance wireless teleg raphy. Impressed with the import ance of a system which will in cases of necessity transmit messages from some xhice on the Atlantic seaboard for a distance of 3,000 miles, the matter was taken up in earnest almost a year ago. The desirability of such long-distance communication, the offi cials say, is obvious, for in times of war it would prove invaluable to the government. By its means the Navy Department will be able to control and direct readily from shore the movements of the fleet. This, together with the proposition to install wireless appara tus on ships so that they may be able to communicate with each other at a distance of 1,000 miles, will put the government in the position where di rections .given to one vessel quickly may be transmitted to another. The experiments in communicating 3,000 miles are to take place at Brant Rock. Mass., beginning probably late in December. Instruments constructed for this purpose have been installed in a tower over 400 feet high. Two scout cruisers, the Salem and tho Birming ham, are to be utilized as receiving stations. Repairs to these vessels now under way will be completed Dec. 4, soon after which they will leave the United States for a trip which will keep them within a radius of 3,000 miles of Brant Rock, the present program contemplating a cruise from the Scottish coast downward to the west African coast and also in the American tropics. Meanwhile messages will be sent to each of these vessels, both of which have been equipped with ten-kflowatt-power receiving apparatus, capable, it is asserted, of recording the long-distance communications. At the same time the vessels will exchange messages for the purpose of testing the apparatus for communication 1,000 miles at sea. TAKE FIFTY IN PLOT. Assassins Shoot Italian Second Time Bouses Police. Fifty arrests were made by the Chi cago police in efforts to clear up the shooting of Salvatore Plnello, who was followed to Chicago from a hospital in Streator, 111., where he bad lain three months after being shot by agents of the Black' Hand, and was shot a sec ond time in Chicago. Clews in pos session of detectives were expected to lead to the capture of Salvatore and Stefano Uttlda, brothers, who were ac cused of the crime by Pinello. Pinello was wounded the second time with a shotgun. Physicians at the hospital, to which he was taken, held but little hope for his recovery. His body was full of shot. The shooting of Pinello was the sixth charged to the Black Hand society within a year. Pinello told the police that he came to this country three years ago from Italy and went to Streator, where he was a section hand for the Santa Fe Rail road. The sufferer had not been in the town long when the Uttida brothers, who were in Chicago, began to write him threatening letters demand ing money. "We will tell the police that you are a member of the Black Hand society unless money is sent us," was written in one letter. The threats continued and Pinello became desperate. He threatened to call on the police to arrest the men annoying him. The following day he was shot near his home. TAG DAY BRINGS $40,000. Chicago Charities Will Receive Help Throntet Collections. Proceeds of Chicago's second annual tag day are estimated at $40,000, half as much again as was realized last year.

THE MEXICAN E0RDER.

J. M. BARRIE WANTS WIFE BACK Writer Offer In All Sorta of Inducementa for Her to Hewed. J. M. Barrie, the English novelist, who divorced his wife within a week, now wants her back again. He does not want to marry Pauline Chase, his beautiful young ward, he has declared. He loves his wife; he is willing despito proofs at court of her guilt to have her come back to him. And he is offering her all sorts of inducements to return. All England Is literally astounded by the sudden change in the affairs of its most popular playwright and author. For days, it has become known, Barrie ha3 been writing letters to his wife (she was Mary Ansell, an actress), humbling himself, begging her pardon for having instituted the suit, forgiving her misdemeanors and absolutely begging her to wed him again. He has offered to settle $200,000 on her in a lump sum If she will again be his wife. Mrs. Barrie thus far has been altogether unresponsive. HUNT TWO IN TRIPLE TRAGEDY. Kanaaa City Police Fall In Attempt to Trail Slayer with Dok. The finding of another bullet hole in the body of Alonzo van Royen, one of the victims of the triple murder near Kansas City, Kan., convinced the police that at least two men committed the crimes. Mrs. van Royen was shot three times and her sister, Miss Rose McMahon, six times. Van Royen was shot four times. The firing of thirteen shots, the police say, makes it obvious that one man did not kill the three victims. Proceeding on this theory, the police extended the hunt to Include two or even three men. Bloodhounds placed on the trail were baffled by muddy roads. The police attempted to learn if the girl had a disappointed sweetheart. The first shot fired at her doubtless killed her, the psysicians say, and they believe that only hatred or extreme jealousy could have prompted the murderer to 'fire more shots. RUN THROUGH BY MILITIAMEN. Texan Dlea by Bayonet Thruit In Attempt to See lrealdent. The visit of President Taft to Dallas, Saturday, resulted in the death of one of the many thousands who attempted to greet him. Louis Relchenstein, deputy county clerk of Dallas County, was run through the body by a bayonet by Sergeant Manley of Company E, Third Regiment, Texas National Guard. Manley was arrested charged with murder. Reichenstein's friends say the stabbing was unjustified, that he was moving with the Immense crowd near the, State fair grounds gates, and that the pressure was such he could not halt when ordered to by Sergeant Manley. 6 PLEAD GUILTY AS GRATTERS. Voungatown, ()., Men Admit Hrlbrr Mne More Await Trial.

The ceremony, which mark3 the separation of childhood from womanhood, was conducted by Dr. Rdyander, the favorite court preacher.

MANY WOMEN SLAIN?

Disclosures Expected as Result of Arrest in Long Island Case. Admissions made under severe cross- ' examination by Otto Mueller, an As- j toria, L. I., pianomaker, arrested on ! the ground that he may know something of the strange circumstances of the death of Anna Latter, the young German woman whose skeleton was ' found at Islip, L. I., are expected by the police to bring to light a tale of wholesale marriage and murder seldom equaled in criminal records. Mueller was arraigned under the name of Frederick Gebhardt on the formal charge of bigamy, but the police expect to lodge a more serious charge against him. Mrs. Gebhardt informed the authorities that she has lived in terror of her husband for many years änd that on the occasion he was overheard while intoxicated to say that she was his eighth wife and that those who preceded her were in their grave?. Another point on which stress is laid by the police is the finding of four notes scribbled by Mueller, in which the writer revealed his intention to disappear. All are daJLed Oct. 23, the day of the man's arrest, and contain instructions for the disposal of his property. One of the notes is addressed to the Long Island City bank and follows: "Please pay my account to my wife, Anna Gebhardt. I am legally dead." Mueller confessed that he married the Latter girl in February, 190S, but say3 he deserted her three months later and does not know what became of her. A box of 32-caliber revolver cartridges was found by the police in a search of the house Mueller occupied at Astoria. A .lattened 32-caliber bullet was near the skeleton of the girl. . SPANISH CABINET RESIGNS. Moret Said to Have Accepted Premiership at King's Behest. Premier Antonio Maura and, every member of his Conservative Cabinet resigned In Madrid Thursday. King Alfonso accepted their resignations. After a long consultation ith the K!ng, Signor Moret, the Liberal leader, formed a Cabinet in which he is at once Premier and Interior Minister. The new Ministers, who took the oath of office at once, are: Premier and Interior Minister Moret y Prendergast . Foreign Affairs Perez Caballero. Finance Senor Alvaradao. War Lieutenant General de Luque. Marine Rear Admiral Concas. Public Works Senor Gasset. Public Instruction Senor Barroso. Justice Martinez del Campo. J When the president of the Houso of Representatives announced that the Maura Cabinet had resigned, thtre wa3 such an uproar he had to adjourn the session. BANK ROBBERS HOLD UP POSSE Covering Pursuing Party with Rifles They Flee with Loot Five masked bandiis, who robbed the State Bank of Minocqua, Wis., of several thousand dollars early Wed-, nesday morning, held up the pursuing posse of sheriffs, which surrounded them in the depot at Hazelhurst, a few miles south of there, and then escap-( ed eastward to a near-by junction. The posse had been hunting for the four masked bandits all day. At 7:30 o'clock In the evening the bandlt3 came out of the woods and took refuge in the railway station at Hazelhurst. They were discovered In the station by the village marshal, who swore In several deputieb and then ordered the bandits to surrender. Immediately the muzzles of several rifles were pofmed through the door and windows of the station and then the masked robbers came out. still covering their pursuers. Backing the posse Into the middle, of the street they again escaped to the woods, while they kept their pursuers covered. Pittsburg is a great ball town -baseball and highbalL Dr. Cook continues to tell them about it at $3 per. Apparently Halley's comet ha,s not blown out a cylinder head. Looking at King Alfonso's picture you exclaim, "Poor Spain." Dr. Cook doesn't have much to lay, except when he is paid for it. Wheat Is doing a little aviating regardless of atmospheric disturbances. Spain spends considerable time and money keeping from being demolished. Nicaragua presents President Zclaya for membership In the Down-end-Out Club. Japanese go and beat an American team in baseball. This is revenge. Indeed. Another thing, Cook Is skimming all the cream off Mr. Peary's lecture business. France Is crazy about flying, having no home-grown controversy to go crazy over. Maybe they are delaying that statement of Peary's in order to Cook up the evidence. Do not trouble to break gently to the vegetarians the news of the threatened beef shortage. What the British House of Lords would do to the budget, If it only dared, is plenty. Chicago has raised $10,000 to fight graft And graft will weigh in at about $10.000.000. When good automobiles have run their earthly course they do not become aeroplanes. The next message to Congress is scarcely likely to be so striking as the last one because of its brevity. Twenty more boxes of skins from Africa marked "T. R.," and not the hide of a single trust in the lot. "The two 1l0U.tr Mil must fjo," somebody declares. Hut, on account of the high cost of liviiii-r. it won't go very far. Insurance companies are writinjt few risks 011 the lives of Southern possums as President Taft approaches. Considering that it is not a campaign year, the American people are eloin:? quite well in the. controversy line. Careful readers of the nev.sicprrs Will note that hardly anybody no.v lb being killed in duels over the CookPeary dispute. Instead of asking leg-weary college professors to make the journey, why doesn't Ir. Cook call on a few llyin?machine me a to make the search for his records on the top of Mount McKinley?

CniCAGO. The weekly review of Chicago trade compiled by R. G. Dun & Co. sayä: Heavy payments through the bank3, smaller mercantile defaults and a

broader demand for money reflect en couraging conditions in fall activities. Further indications of widening enterprise in the leading industries strengthen the position in iron and steel. Announcements include costly railroad terminals and important additions to factories at South Chicago and Gary. The approach of winter imparts more urging forward of building operations, but new permits aggregate large totals and there is yet enormous absorption of materials, price of which stand above the average of last spring. Live stock receipts improve over recent totals, and there are also substantial gains In the supplies of hides, leather, wool, lumber and minor metals. Holiday goods are in excellent request while thmall and road orders remain satisfactory for forwardlng3 of textiles, footwear, furniture and food products.
