 The Washington Star proposes a new weapon against mobs. The Star would like to have the camera used to Photograph the leaders of these tumultous tribunals of the streets which set aside every law book and nulify the highest courts. There is a great deal of good sense in the proposition to aim the rapid-firing camera atythe mob. So far as this has been done the pictures have shown tlhatsthe mobs are largely com posed of boys, the street hoodlums who are glad of any opportunity for disorderly and destructive manifestations. The en- couragement of youths in such riotous out breaks has a serious effect when it is con- sidered that the boys are to be the men. The greater the shame, then, to the dema- gogues and all who, afraid themselves to enter the actual violence, stand behind the scenes and urge on their more ignorant instruments.

Deacon Rogers he came to me; Wife is coming round," said he; .I reilly think she'll worry through; She scolds me just as she used to do. All the people have poohed and slurred- And the neghbors have had their word; Twas better to perish, some of 'em say, Than be cured in such an irregular way" Your wife" said I, had Gods good care And his remedies-lght and water and air All the doctors beyond a doubt, Couldn't have cured Mrs Rogers without The deacon smiled and bowed his head; ''Then your bill is nothing" he said; Gods be the glory, as you say; God bless you,- doctor!

COMMISSIONERS

Rebels Refused to Treat With Spaniards
From Manila.

MANILA April %, IL 20 a. m.-Col onel
Remie and Major Lasseras, the Spanish
commissioners, with their secretaries,

day to confer with Aguinaldo regarding

of which were attired in full uniform,

BY WAY OF
THE AIR LINE
Wireless Telegraphy Experiments in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Professor Jerome
j. Greene, the new disciple of Marconi,
sat at his receiving instrument placed
on the eighth floor of the Marquette
building tonight and received telegraphic
signals sent via the air line from the
Tribune building, two blocks away. 1t
meant success for his wireless telegraphy
experiment for that distance, and was a
triumph for the young scientist over con-
ditions which were exceedingly unfaVor-
able. The first test of the day, when an
attempt was made to communicate from
the Dearborn station at Polk street to the
Tribune building, had proved failure.
Subsequent investigation disclosed the
fact that local disturbances at the send
ing station probably were responsible.
In the second experiment signals were
transmitted clearly and accurately from
one room to another through walls and
three thick doors. The second test sent the
dots and dashes to the sounder across
Dearborn street without break. Then
Professor Greene consented to make the
test over the long distance, and the ap-
paratus was transferred to the Marquette
building, distance of about $50 yards.
The vertical wire was lowered from the
10th floor, and the receiver was placed on
the eighth floor. When all was ready
for trial, word was sent through the
telephone to the sending station, where
the professors assistant, Albert Kachur
was waiting the command. The tria
was success. Further experiment.
will be made Monday.

COPIES SENT
TO WASHINGTON
Government Officials Greatly Pleased
With the Stand Taken by Governor
Geer.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-General Otis
cables the presid ent that he has inter-

politicians and state leaders in America
to volunteers in the Philippines urging
the men to stand on their rights and re-
fuse the government further service,
now that peace is formally and finally
declared. The president has instructed
General Otis to send copies of the same
messages and all evidence he can find
of sedition there, and it is believed that
some one may be dealt with harshly for
treason and sedition.
General Otis considers the offense
grave, and as the messages are clearly
within the law against sedition, he has
held up all such and notified Wash
ington.
In this connection government officials
are greatly pleased with the expression
of Governor Geer, of Oregon, who de-

when it would embarrass the admins.
