"a new system in transmitting kilograms to
German papers is being inaugurated by the
Western Union Telegraph Company" said an
official of that corporation last evening.
Formerly We have sent all such matter in
English, and the papers upon the receipt of
the same have translated 1t Into German. Tho
same thing now relates TO several French
papers which are published in this country.
But the German editors ut last objected to the
great amount Of translation this made neces-
saTy, and desired their matter to be sent them
by correspondents and transmitted In German.
so we have begun doing this; 1t takes about
twice as long for an operator who cannot speak
German TO receive in that language, and now
there is need up here for ut least two operators.
In fact, we need also two French and two
Spanish operators to handle business coming In
those languages. We should have one on dur.
ing the day and one at night. II would be
economical as II would accelerate business as
well as insure greater accuracy. You see, there

TIE WHITAKER CASE.
Judge Macarthur Makes Ruling Un-
der Protest,

der Protest.
The case Of q. A. Whitaker, charged with
presenting five false vouchers to the bureau
medicine and surgery, was again taken up in
the criminal court yesterday, and the trial re.
sumed. At one time It looked as IL the case
would 90 flying out of court and probably
would have done so had 1t not been for the
persuasive powers of the district attorney,
The government in putting in its testimony
had reached the point where Kirkwoods de.
paftmCnt record was about to be put in CYL.
dcnce for the purpose of showing that no entry
appeared In the books of the vouchers In con.
test, when the defense objected on the ground
that kirkwood was neither indicted, with nor
on trial with Whitaker, and that the latter
could not be held responsible for what Kirk.
wood did, that the testimony was wholly ln-
admissible, and Whitaker was only liable for
acts committed by himself
The point was argued at great length ana
with considerable enrncstness, during which
the prosecution called the attention of the
court to the fact that In the previous trial,
evidence of this kind was admitted.
Mr.. Chandler claimed that the point had
never been seriously discussed before, while
the government insisted that 1t had been ruled
upon aud exception taken to the ruling.
His honor seemed in considerable doubt Ms
TO the competency Of the proof, when tho dis.
trict attorney suggested to let the ruling still
standing act as precedent, and exception be
taken. For, If 1t were otherwise, he would say
out ofcourt and bring in new indictments.
Mr. Chandler said that the court had u per.
feet right TO change its ruling If II wished. IL
was not like case in general term, where Il
decision was made for In that case the decision
would govern the court, but in the special
term II was optional with the court to alter or
modify ruling whenever ii was so disposed.

appeal to the court to adhere to the ruling pre-
