rom ST. JOHNS TO CORNWALL
(By Associated Press.)

/ New York Dec 16.-M. l. Pupin, pro-
fessor of electrical mechanics at Colum-
; bia university in an interview says that
! he fully believes that Marconi succeeded
! in signalling between the coasts of New
/ Foundland and Cornwall, England, by
his system of wireless telegraph,. Con-
tinuing, the professor said:
The signals were very faint as l
read in the report, but that has little to
lido with it. The distance. which is about
1880 miles between these two points.
twas overcome. and further development
(of the sending instruments is all that is
required"
Prof. Pupin said that the society of
electrical engineers had discussed the
subject and many We're at that time OF
tn opinion that the day was not FAR dis
itant when wireless messag es would be
sent 1000 miles. Again continuing, he
said:
"One point which is of great value and
interest to the scientific world. is that
Marconi has proved conclusively that
the curvature of the earth is no obsta-
Gle to the system of wireless tele graphy.
Some We're inclined to think, and there
were many heated discussion on it. that
Fthe curvature limited the system.
All Marconis efforts of late have been
directed toward perfecting and making
his sending apparatus more powerful
and giving a greater heighth to the
sending end. 1t still remains to be
tproved, however, that heavy banks of
fog. low hanging clouds and heavy
showers along and in the path of the
transmitted electric wave will not en-
tirely obstruct its progress.
1.-THE presumption generally is that
they will, as experiments thus FAR have
proved. Atmospheric conditions also
have much to do with and strongly af-
feet the electric wave"

German Papers Having Lively Tilt
Over Polish Question.
(By Associated Press.

Berlin, Dec. 16-The debate on the
Polish question in the reichstag is still
a subject of lively press discussion.
The National Zeitung prints letter
from Posen alleging that the Polish
movement is now carried on by well-to-
do lawyers. doctors and mechanics.
When the place of a lawyer or chemist
is free a Pole steps in; when land is
for sale, Polish money is offered for it.
This money, it is said, streams in from
unknown sources. The Germans, as the
weaker party, forsake the country.

INDECENT, SAYS pErT1oREw
Opposes Senate Confirmation of Judge Harlan's
Son as attorney General of Porto Rico.
(By The Associated Press }


Washington, jan 15.-WhiIe the Senate
was in executive session today an effort
was made TO secure confirmation of the
nomination of James S. Harlan, son OF
Justice Harlan, of the United States Su-
preme court, to be Attorney General for
Porto Rico, but action was prevented by
the objection of Senator Pettigrew
Mr.. Pettigrew said the nomination is
entirely out of place in view of the fact
that important litigation affecting the is
land to which Mr.. Harlan is appointed, is
now pending before the court of which
the father is member.
II make no charge against the Supreme
court said MIR. Pettigrew. but l do say
that the appointment of the sons of two
of the members of that court to impor-
tant positions under the administration
at this juncture of affairs in the Supreme
court, is. to say the least indecent
He referred to the nomination of jus
tice McKennas son TO the office OF Major
in the army saying he had been promot-
ed over 11S other lieutenants and cap
tains.
Mr.. Pettigrew also commented upon the
removal of Maj. Harrison, son of the Ex-
President intimating that this action was
because the attitude of Mr. Harrison s
to our insular possessions was not in ac-
cord with the Administrations course in
those matters.
Mr.. Pettigrew insisted on a quorum and
the Senate adjourned without action.

action brought by Mrs. Margaret j.
Plant in the Supreme Court to upset the
will of her husband, Henry Bradley Plant,
the railroad and steamship capitalist, was
begun in the Supreme Court today before
Justice Leventritt.
Mortimer f. Plant, the son of the plain
tiff. joins with her in efforts to upset the
will, although for the purposes of the
action he is named as a defendant.
Mr.. Plant left an estate of $1O,000,0OO
and being apparently of the opinion that
the great property Accumulated by him
after he had attained his fiftieth year
might be dissipated by his immediate
heirs, he had a will drawn, with the
object of keeping his estate intact for
at least sixty years.
