JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Oct. 4.-With
the death yesterday at Borden of the vener-
able Solomon Bierly has passed away one
of the most interesting of the pioneers who
helped to bring civilization to southern In
diana and make of II country of which
the State may we'll be proud. Mr.. Bierly' S
aged wife preceded him to the grave but a
short time. They had lived together for
seventy years. period equal to the average
life of man, and on the same spot where
they went to housekeeping. At his death
Mr.. Bierly was ninety-one years old and
his wife but a few years younger. He was
born I'm Roam county, North Carolina, COM
ing with his parents to Indiana when a mere

across the river and helped to clear away
the forests and pave the way for civiliza-
ton. From childhood the two were lovers,
and May 81. 1929, they were married. They
then went TO housekeeping on a pretty
knoll, where a rude settlers cabin had been
built, and where they had lived ever since.
They had eight children, of whom six sur

THE FRIENDS ARE REJOIcED.
Two Great Results Were Attained by
the Yearly Meeting.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, Oct. 4.-Now that the
sessions of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of
Friends are at an end the work done is
viewed with great satisfaction by all con-
cerned. 1t is agreed that this was the most
successful gathering this important body
has ever had. This was largely due to the
fact that the past year has been a prosper
Gus one and has put the members in posi-
ton to make liberal responses to the de-
mands for money.
There are two reasons for great rejoicing
among the Friends. One is the lifting of the
debt off the Yearly Meeting for the first
time In nineteen years. This has hung
like a milestone around the neck of the So
ciety, and many things that might otherwise
have been accomplished. were not at
tempted, because of this debt staring the
church in the face. Now that Ii is paid,
the church IL free to launch out along new
lines. The second reason for great rejoice
ing Is the help that was given to Earlhan,
College. Earlham Is the pride OF Indiana
Yearly Meeting and the heavy debt that the
institution has labored under has been n
cause of embarrassment. Now that such a
good beginning has been made toward pay
ing 1t off. all the friends of the college feel
that new era is dawning for Earlham, as
well as for the Yearly Meeting.

1t is understood that Sir Alfred Miner has
not abandoned hope that the powerful infiu-
ence now at work in Pretoria and Bloem-
fontein may lead TO the arrest of the mobi-
lization of troops on both sides and open the
door to pacific solution.

No absolute confirmation is obtainable of
the report that Boer ultimatum has been

usually a good Boer source.

Bulletins of the Yacht Race Flashed
Through the Air.


Through the Air.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4-Professor Marconi
proved yesterday the practical value of his
system of wireless telegraphy. BY its use
messages telling the progress and maneu-
vers OF the racing yachts Shamrock and
Columbia were transmitted from two steam
ers keeping abreast of the rivals to the cable
steamer Mackay-Bennett, and by simuta-
esink Highlands.
Professor Marconi was himself at the
sending instrument on board the govern
ment transport Ponce, offered him for the
occasion by the War Department which has
been much interested In the experiment
The instruments on the Grand Duchess, the
other Marconi vessel to follow the yachts
down the course were in charge of w. j.
Clarke, one of the inventors assistants
The receiving operator on the Mackay-Ben-
nett was Professor Bowden, and at Nave
sink Highlands w. W. Bradfield both of
them close associates of the man who dared
the test.
The Mackay- Bennett, which lay anchored
through the day close to the Sandy Hook
iishtship, the starting point Of the race,
Was Was the chief medium In the transmission of
M Mares Lines messages to newspapers and tele-
sage Mashed to VI went also to the land sta
tion An ordinary telegraph cable ran from
the Mackay-Bennett to the shore and mes
sages received one minute through the air
were travelling the next through the water
For the latter routine sending Morse OPP
orators were employed. but not a man was
allowed In the inner cabin. where the mys-
FERROUS spluttering Marconi receiver was en-
craving meaning dots and dashes on strips
OF paper at the command of a force which
leaped through space at distances varying
from 500 feet to fifteen miles.
Only two messages of a total averaging
one In three minutes for a period of five
ana a half hours had to be repeated. To
cording the dots.
The story Of the yacht race was told
pulletined In New York in a space impos-
sible under ordinary conditions, the an
nouncement being given the crowd in some
Instances In three minutes after the first
transmission began The absence of fake
was demonstrated by the fact that official
Information. conveyed in slower and ac-
the statements telegraphed by Professor
Marconi.
Sending and receiving apparatus on all
thres ships and at the Nayesink Highlands
station were essentially the same. A de-
scriEtion OF one will suffice for ali. The
Mackay-Bennett for the occasion was fur
nished with an extra topmast, which was
dashed to the mast already I'm position
On the top of this double-length mast was

Great Britain. is that IL is made when the
rates of exchange would apparently make
the transaction not only profitless. but ZOO
worse than profitless. Yet the bankers who
procured this gold assert that IL Is regular

dents foreign exchange should have been
quoted at least one point less than the quo
tations yesterday. In order TO justify Inn
portations, This transaction Is another OF

new conditions are being established ana
that We cannot. as heretofore, predict tina
course Of gold simply by watching the ex-
change markets Although there IL some
difference of opinion, yet the general Inn
preston Is that this Importation Is but the
beginning. and that between this time and
the end OF the year we shall probably have
brought from Europe not far from S50Oo0Oo0
in gold In settlement of trade balances IN
our favor. We shall certainly DO this unless
IL Is discovered that our credits over there
can bring better profits by remaining there
than by being shipped TO this country In the
