OLIVER CROMWELL EULoe1zED
The Injustice of Writers DepIorcd
by the Rev. +. ID. Power

Oliver Cromwell. the Booth anniversary
of whose birth occurs tomorrow, was the
subject of an interesting and instructive
discourse last evening in the Vermont Ave-
nue. Christian Church by the pastor, the
Rev. +. ID. Power
The reverend speaker declared that more
has been said about Cromwell than of per-
haps any man who lived since his time
Most OF what has been written of him,
however. DR.. Power said, is adverse crit
icism. while only a few writers have seen
the good in him. Scott and Gray damned
him while Milton glorified him. Cromwell
was a devout Christian. and when he went
to battle for the rights of the people he
went with prayer on his lips and sing
ing the praises of the Lord. He had been
called a tyrant, but those who watched
saw in him n God fearing man.
In concluding. Dr. Power spoke of all
that Cromwell had done for the Protestant
Church in England and also in our own
New England colonies. His domestic life,
he said. was beautiful example for all;
by nature he was kind. he had pity for
the distressed and help for those in want

Iaterfered With Wireless Telegraph
ers' Tests in ChicayO

Chicago April 23.-Prof. Jerome C.
South Bend, Ind, discovered yesterday by
experiments that the Marconi system of
wireless telegraphy is not practicable in a
large city studded with skyscrapers.
He made several tests in the presence
of a number of college professors. The
first experiment was held in the office of
E. A. Bancroft. in the Dearborn Street
Railway Station. The Morse signals were
used, and Prof. Green and his assistant,
Albert Kachur exchanged several sem
tences from different parts of the building.
The next test was made in the Tribune
building between different rooms. This
also was successful. AS third test the
professor and his assistant signaled from
the Tribune building to the Hartford
Building, just across the street. The re-
suits were again satisfactory. 1t was the
fourth test, when an attempt was made to
telegraph from the tower of the Dearborn
Street station to the Tribune" office. a
distance of about seven blocks, across the
heart of the city, where many skyscrapers
stand, that the system failed to work.
Again and again the signal was given,
but no tick was TO be heard. Every
thing possible was done, but Prof. Green
finally admitted that the difficulties were
too great to be overcome. His apparatus,
constructed only for use in his laboratory,
was not perfect, and this fact may have
had much to do with the failure of the at
tempt.
Prof Green will now attempt to tele-
graph from the Lake front out to the
''two-mile crib"
Arthur V. Abbott. chief engineer of the
Chicago Telephone Company. recently tel
egraphed from the telephone building to
his residence. a distance of nearly two
miles, without the use OF wires.
Mr.. Abbott says wireless telegraphy is
too slow for commercial use. Messages
cannot be sent quicker than ten or twelve
words a minute. He says that its extern
sive use in cities would result in terrible
tumble, from the waves from one station
affecting the instruments of all stations in
the city. Mr.. Abbott believes its use for
communication between warships and the
shore would be valuable
