MARCONI'S TELEGRAPH INVEN.
TIONs FOR The NAVY.
REPORT OF THE NAVAL BOARD
No Particular System Advocated, But
Entire Belief in the Marvellous New
Method Of slgnaling-only Short
Time Needed to Demonstrate It's
Great Usefulness on Ship Board.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May S.-The board of
naval officers, headed by Capt. Chad
wick, appointed to make a full investi-
cation and report on wireless telegraphy,
has completed it's work and submitted
it's report to Admiral Bradford chief of
the naval bureau of equipment, having
charge of this subject.
1T had been expected that the inquiry
would last through the summer, and the
navy department has been somewhat
surprised at the promptness with which
the board has been able to reach it's
conclusions.
Give Up Carrier Pigeons.
Although the findings are not made
public it is known that the board re-
ports on the entire feasibility of the
system and recommends that it be
adopted and that the present system of
using carrier pigeons for messages be-
tween naval points be abandoned.
With the report the board submits the
results of an extended conference with
Senor Marconi, the Italian inventor,
concerning the general subject of wire
less telegraphy. 1t is understood that
Marconi made no proposition regarding
his own system, and that the board Sc
cured his views as an expert on the
general subject. There is no finding in
favor of any particular system, but a
geneSal treatment of all systems. The
board has no doubt that wireless tel
egraphy will prove a valuable adjunct
of the navy.

Redlands, Cal, May S.-The train bear-
ing the presidential party entered the
land of fruit and. flowers shortly after
midnight when the Colorado river was
crossed at Yuma.
The first glimpse Of California this
morning was not prepossessing, but it
was novel sight.
The train was running through the bed
of an ancient salt sea. south of the Mo-
jave desert. 1t is 200 feet below sea
level, and is white sheet of incrusted
salt, which is ployew up as eastern far-
mers plow their fields. This was passed
very early in the morning.
The train was mounting San Gorgore-

peaks when the president first looked
from his car window. The mountains

At every little station were groups of

children held roses in their arms and
pelted the presidents car with them as
the train rushed by. 1t was charming
welcome to the state of California. Red

to California: The city was beautifully
decorated. Venetian masts with stream
-ers formed an arcade of color on Orange
street under which the party drove to
the Iona hotel where the exercises tox
place.
The board street was literally carpet
ed with roses. purple lupins and red pop
pies and the wealth of flowers every
where filled the air with, fragrance. A
company of local militia and the high
school cadets escorted the party to the
hotel through lines of cheering people.
Oranges were prOfusely used in the dec
OratiOns and the marshals of the parade
wore orange ribbons across their should
erS.
The exercises took place on the flower
bedecked balcony of the hotel in plain
view of thousands. An Indian band
from the school at Perris played patriot
ic airs below while the president ex-
changed greetings with Governor Gage
and the distinguished assembly on the
balcony. The mayor of Redlands intro
duced Governor Gage, who in eloquent
language which aroused an enthusiastic
echo in the crowd below welcomed the
president and extended to him the free
dom of the state.
The presidents response, delivered in
graceful style, drew repeated cheers
from the vast throng below him. The
exercises were followed by a drive of
about an hour and a half through the
orange growing section.
Mrs. Mckinley and the ladies of the
party met Mrs. Gage and the ladies of
Redands in the parlors of the hotel dur
ing the exercises and were taken for a
drive through the beautiful valley of San
Bernardino.

Washington. May S.-A mystery sur
rounds the disappearance of the contract
plans for the protected cruiser st. Louis.
Whether they have been lost or stolen
will probably be determined by an off,
cial inquiry. Rear Admiral Bowics,
chief constructor. has advised the ap-
pontment of a board to investigate.
The contract for the ST. Louis was
recently awarded to the Neafle & Levy
ship and Engine Building Co, of Phi;a-
delphia. In order that there might be
no delay on the ship. Admiral Bow;es
had tracings made of the plans and fo.-
warled them TO the firm through the
experimenting naval constructor. The
company NOW asserts that it never re-
Ceived the plans.

HEAVY BURDENS FOR THE CITY
To the Editor IF The Tribune

| To the Editor # The Tribune
Sir: At time when the generous offer Of Mr..
Carnegie give 100000 to the city of New
York for the purpose of establishing circulating
libraries is meeting with such expressions of sp-
proval AS have appeared from time to time in the
public press. it almost seems necessary for any
one who questions the expediency of the ciy's ac-
ceptance of the proposition to apologize for his
boldness So much. however. has been done in the
past IN moments of excitement and enthusiasm
which subsequent events have proved to be mis-
take that may be pardoned citizen and a
taxpayer. in calling attention to or two points
which seem TO to show that. while the citizens
Of this city should be grateful TO Mr.. Carnegie for
his kind offer. IT should nevertheless not be ac-
cepted.
For several years past items of real estate news
have been full Of statements relating to the bur
dens of taxation sustained by the property owners
of this city. Their protest has been met by the
statement that the increase of taxation was caused
by consolidation; but even if this be true, what
compensating benefits did consolidation bring to the
property owners. who are now paying for it? When
the minds OF all directed to the consideration
of ways and means for reducing taxation, any
project which involves an increase of taxation
should receive serious consideration before
its adoption II Mr. Carnegie's offer was complete
In itself and afforded TO the citizens of New-N ork
the facilities whct: ne had I'm mind without further
His offer however deliberately considered is mere
ly an invitation to the city TO embark upon an en-
part OF the city. and the assumption by it of a
great burden in the carrying charges necessary in
the future.
In order to accept the proposition It is neces- @
saTy, first for the city TO acquire title TO siXtyfive
sites Some Of these sites probably will be donated
the rest must be acquired by the city of New
York by condemnation proceedings: involving the
appointment of commissioners, clerks and stenoS-
raphers. entaiing great loss and hardship upon
the property owners whose property is wrested
them and necessitatinE the issue of bonds by
the city of New-York 10 defray the expense. The
libraries having been established 1t becomes neces-
sary in the future for the city to supply funds TO
the carrying expenses. These have been
estimated at from $4,000 100000 year. The
burden thus assumed must, in the end. be borne by
the taxpayers. Is this increase justified by any
necessity which exists for more library IA
cilities?
II this question receives deliberate consideration
I can hardly doubt that every taxpayer will answer
il in the negative. HENRY +. MILLER
