Judge Z. O. Sykes now has under
consideration the application of Hon.T
b. Franklin, president of the board of
supervisors, for a special term of court
to try tine negroes charged with the
murder of Mr.. John Roberts in Artesia
on the night Of December 31st, 1896.
The application for a special term is
caused by the action of counsel for Will
Brooks, Capt. w. w. HUMPHREYS, con.
templating habeas corpus proceed ngs
in behalf of his client. If habeas or.
pus proceedings were instituted the
county would be put to.conSiderable ex-
pense and the Board of Supervisors de.
sire to save this expense which can be
done If a special term of court is held
now. Again, the supervisors believe
that If Will Brooks is released under
habeas corpus proceedings it will result
IN involving the county's good name, as
the people are not in the frame of mind
TO see Brooks out on bail. The board
meets next week, when the order of the
president will be formally ratified

Wireless Telegraph.

Very recently Mr.. Tesla has an
nounced that he has completed his wire
less telegraph to such an extent as to
permit of telegraphy through the earth
for a distance of 90 miles or more, and
his experiments satisfy him Of the feas-
ibility of wireless telegraphy on a much
more extended scale In fact he aims
at nothing Less than the establishment
OF a system of telegraphy that shall in
c!ude the whole earth, and by which
items of news may be distributed from
one political or commercial center to
every other such center throughout the
world. This Mr.. Tesla claims, is Dos
sible without the interference of one set
OF signals with another.
He has constructed and tested both
transmitting and receiving apparatus,
and has found that a surprisingly small
expenditure of energy is required. 1t is
impossible at this writing to secure de.
tails of the apparatus, but it is known
that he utilizes the static equilibrium of
the earth. This he disturbs at one
point, In liking signals which can be dis
tinguished at one or more distant points.
In his earlier experiments in high fire.
quency currents Mr.. Tesla attained a
frequency of 10, 900 per second; now 9.
600, 600 oscillations per second is not
deemed extraordinary. 1t is said that
the success of the system is assured, but
he will not come before the public until
every detail is completed. 1t is under
stood that the transmission of power
from place to place by means of a similar
system is contemplated.
While Mr.. Tesla has been wrestling
with this great problem in this country,
Mr.. Marconi, a young Anglo. Italian,
has been working On the same line in
England under the direction of Mr..
Prcece. 1t is reported that Mr.. Preece
has succeeded in t~elegraphing with GER.
