sold, and who. two years later, found
himself working side by side with the
brother of General Molineux.
Coming to the question of motive,
Mr.. Osborne went on to show that
Molineux had attempted to fnjure Corz
nish even after Molineux had left the
club, and cited as evidence the endur-
ing nature of Molineux's i'll will in the
Scheffler letter written nearly year
after his resignation from the Knick-
erbocker Athletic club. and the letter
about Harpster, Cornish's friend, sent
to StearnS & Co.
The Motive.
1--WE find" he went on, that Mol
ineuX had the motive, and we find that
he had or could have had the poison.
He was experimenting in the manu-
facture of ships paint, and one of the
uses of cyanide of mercury is for the
manufacture of ships paint
AS to the purchase of the bottle hold
er, Mr.. Osborne said that Molineux
was daily in Newark, and knew the
Hartdegen store well, where he had a
friend, Arnold. Why. then, he asked,
did not the defense call Arnold, who
had refused to come here for the pros
ecution?
Taking up the evidence of the hand
writing experts, Mr.. Osborne said that
liz SCStAiAiOiy VI OdNlu AdTEdl0Q,
the expert called by the defense, proved
bis contention that AIolineux wrote the
poison package wrapper Carvalho
said the wrapper address was not dis
guised sufficiently to hide the charac-
terisucs of the natural hand of the
writer
BY whom do 1 convict MoIineux of
that writing2" he demanded. "Out of
the mouths of his enemies? No. Out
OF the mouths of his friends. Two
bankers of Newark who knew Molineux
and his writing, and who had no enmi-
~ toward Molineux, told you thew
were, sure MoHneux wrote those dis
puted writings II am satisfied to let
that portion of the accusation against
Molineux rest upon the testimony of
Carvalho."
Mr.. Osborne declared that no man
could avoid seeing the likeness be-
tween the characters in the conceded
writing of Molineux and the poison
package writer. He argued that the
writer dared not entirely hide his hand
or use printing cha Eacters or a tyne
writer, for fear, of defeating his object
by areusing the suspicion of the re-
cipient of the package

Coal Depots.

In Sixty-One foreign ports agreements
have been made to supply ships of the
navy with coal at below current rates.
Admiral Bradford says that. owing to
the lack of naval coal depots, the fleet
narrowly escaped being left without
coal last summer as a result of the
strike. He adds:
Should there be a general strike or
bituminous coal miners or employees of
railroads carrying coal to Underwater,
or in transDorta ton lines generally,
the ships Of the navy would at present
be helpless
To overcome this danger 1t is rec
commended that large stocks of coal be
kept on hand at ali times and places
at convenient depots along the coasts.
Rear Admiral Bradford expects that
the demand for these deoots will be
even greattr in the future, in view of
the changing politics of the world. It
is recommended that Port Royal, S. c.,
which probably is TO be abandoned for
use as naval station, be the site of
a naval coal depot.
Admiral Bradford suggests that a
storage capacity of $4,000 tons should
be secured at the Guam naval station,
with adequate means for handling the
coal rapidly, as this port will undoubt-
edly become an important port of call
with the completion of the isthmian
canal.

GOVERNMENT
CONTROL URGED
Wireless Telegraph Stations to
Be Established.
FOREIGN NATIONS LEAD US
CONCLUDING PORTION OF ADM
RAJ BRADFoRD's REPORT.

III ASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Govern-
wv ment control of all wireless tele-
graph stations along the coast of
the United States is recommended by
Rear Admiral r. B. Bradford, chief of
the bureau OF equipment, in his an
nual report, in the concluding portion,
which was issued today Foreign gov
ernments, il is pointed out, are exer-
elsing careful supervision over the lOca-
ton of wireless stations within their
waters, thus insuring prompt transmits
sion OF messages at all times. Admiral
Bradford says it is proposed to estab-
ilsh wireless telegraph stations for the
purpose of inStructing officers and men
at Newport, New York, San Francisco
and probably other naval stations In
order TO ascertain the effect of heat
which is said to be Injurious to the
successful working of wireless appar-
atus, a station viii be established at
Key West. Fla.
Although other naval powers are far
IN advance of the United States in the
installation of wireless telegraph ap-
planes on board naval ships, Rear
Admiral Bradford does not think any
ground has been lost by the United
States in pursuing a conservative pol
icy in the adoption of some particular
system for use in the navy.
Four Systems Developed.
Many vessels are now ready for the
installation of wireless apparatus and
others are being prepared. No salts
factory results have yet been obtained
by the board of officers in charge of
the tests of the various systems, and
1t is proposed to purchase other instru-
ments for trial before a selection is
made. Four systems of wireless tele-
graph have been developed in Europe
which seem promising. The bureau has
purchased two sets of each and certain
appliances from the makers which
appeared promising. Attention is
called to the opportunity for officers
of studying wireless biography, only
three having been engaged in this work
thus far. In foreign navies commits
slons of distinguished officers are en-
gagged solely in this service.
Trans-Pacifc Gable.
In regard TO the construction of the
trans-Pacific cable, Rear Admiral
Bradford reports that SO far as he is
aware the Commercial Pacific Cable
company has signified no intention of
following the government requirement
for building a ca BILE as specified by the
president. The report says that, al
though the officers of the company
appeared anxious before the adjourn
ment of congress to obtain the Pacific
cable surveys made by the department,
no application has been made at the
department. for this information.
The report says that no statement
has been given out concerning the
route the company intends to follow,
nor have steps been taken to prepare
relay stations in American territory,
considered necessary by the depart
ment,- with the exception of acquiring
the site for landing the cable near
Honolulu
