IMPORTANT PAPERS
WANTED FROM ALGER
One Bears His Endorsement of
a Beef Contract.
May Be Demanded Today by the
Board of Enquiry.
Startling Disclosures Expected From
Documents Regarding NegOtia-
tions With Packers.

The Office of the Secretary OF War must
give up to the Court of Enquiry certain of
its private official papers relating to the
contracts with the Beef Trust, for
NAL demand will probably be made today
that the Court OF Enquiry call for import
ant documents. which will show whether
or not the refrigerated beef was an experi-
ment and the connection the Secretary had
with the negotiations leading up to the
contract with Swift & Co. for beef for Cuba
and Porto Rico, and with Armour & Co.
for the camps in the United States.
The papers which are required are
known to be in the office Of the Secretary
of War, One of them will be asked for
specifically, and its production will uncover
the others.
General Miles counsel knows that there
is on file in the Office of the Commissary
General a paper connected with the Armour
contracts which bears an endorsement by
the Secretary of War. The actual reyela-
tion of this by Clerk DeCaindry has led
to Investigations which wi produce come
startling disclosures this week. 1t is, of
course, not yet known whether the Acting
Secretary OF War will respond to what
ever order is made by the Court or whether
he will defer answering until the return
of General Alger.
There are some officers who hold tllt
the testimony so far should make General
Alger either ask for an investigation OF his
office, or resign even under the present
hot fire.

A MAD-DoG SCARE.
Rabid Animal Killed by Special Po.
Iiceman elliott.

mad dog created considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood of Thirteenth
and G Streets northwest yesterday after
noon by making ferocious attacks on other
CANNES and pedestrians who happened in
its way. Not less than seven dogs were
bitten by the animal and that no persons
were injured by the beast is due to the
timely appearance of Special Policeman
elliott.
The dog had been running amuck for
about twenty minutes when elliott en-
countered it and killed it with a stick.
The dog fought the policeman savagely
and made several Intellectual attempts to
bite him. 1t was killed only after a fierce
struggle.
The dog is a mongrel and stray, and
has been in the neighborhood but a few
days. 1t was harbored by tailor' who
lives in Fourteenth Street. Policeman Gill
lott saw the animal Saturday and noticing
it was in a sickly condition warned the
tailor TO be careful of it or else drive il
away. The warning was not needed and
yesterday the sickness developed into a
pronounced case of the rabies. 1t is feared
that the other dogs bitten by the mad
animal will suffer as a consequence, and
people living in the neighborhood are be-
coming much alarmed for the safety OF
their children

GOT IN THE HOSE CARTS WAY.
Collision of buggy With No. 3
Fire Company.

A remarkable accident occurred at the
corner of Third Street and the Avenue
southeast yesterday evening at 7:30, in
which Shalter C. Canter and Harry N
Grimes, of Brick Haven, Alexandria county,
Va, had narrow escape from instant
death. A buggy in which they were driy-
ing was struck by the hose cart of No 3
engine company and carried completely
across the parking along the tracks of the
Capitol Traction Company. The vehicle
was demolished and the occupants were
thrown violently 10 the ground The horse
escaped with a number of bad bruises One
OF the horses of the hose cart. driven by A.
l.. Lusby. was also thrown. but without
serious injury. The tongue OF the reel
was snapped in half, and delay in proceed
ing to the fire was necessary until n reserve
pole was sent from the engine house. The
fire. the alarm of which had been turned in
from box 536, at Fourth and Streets
southeast, proved TO be of no consequence,
or the delay might have been serious.
The buggy was being driven along the
north side of Pennsylvania Avenue, going
west, and No. engine and reel were going
south along Third Street at full speed The
dangerous position of the carriage was
realized. and every effort made to avoid
the collision. The firemen say the accident
could have been avoided as their bell was
being rung.

MARcoNI AT LONG RANGE.
Question of Distance With His Wire.
less Telegraph.
(From the New York Tribune. !

(trom the New York Tribune.)
The interval of space which Marconi
will be able to span Geographically de-
pends to a large extent upon two factors
the rate at which the waves which he
generates naturally die out, and the
| amount of obstruction offered by intsrven-
ing objects. In some forms of the trans
mitting apparatus employed no attempt
was made to concentrate the radiance The
electro magnetic waves reached out in all
directions, like sound from a church bell
or light from an electric are. But in
some quarters there has been a curious
disposition TO overlook the fact that these
impulses can be focused exactly like light
rays. All of the phenomena of ref sction
and refraction obtainable with one are OBJ
tainable with the other Hence, when he
so desires, Marconi can bring the rays OF
his transmitting apparatus into a single
pencil. like that of searchlight on a war
ship, Indeed, it may be feasible to project
them very much farther than the beams
OF the most powerful arc light yet manu-
featured.
In his earlier work Marconi found that
hill or large metallic object interposed
between his two terminal stations would
interrupt the passage of messages. He then
ran wire from one part of the transmitter
to the upper end of an adjacent pole or
soihe olner elevated OBJECT, ana he got
much better results. At this stage
of the proceedings. however. it sui
! looked as II he would BE- unable to
evade the obstacle presented by the curva-
lure of the earth. But later deve.opments
put new face on the matter
BY making further adjustments of his
apparatus, the young Italian has been en-
abied TO reduce the height OF his pole.
Originally. he used an elevation of 100 feet
for his service between the Isle of Wight
and Bournemouth, but he has cut this
down third. the height now being only
eighty feet. When the vertical wire sys
TEN is used,' said Marconi, in an address
in London last month. lit becomes easy to
telegraph between positions screened from
each other by hill or by the curvature of
the earth" In the course of his same talk
he remarked: I'VE are now working on
experiments directed toward reducing the
height necessary for given distance"
The distance now covered in transmitting
messages from the South Foreland 10 Lou
logne Is thirty-two miles. Before long
Marconi hopes to be working from New
Haven to Dieppe, sixty-seven miles away.
When he achieves success In that test.
he will try to reach still farther He has
expressed the hope that he might yet send
message across the Atlantic, using yerti-
cal wires at each station, extending about
| a thousand feet from the sea level.
