There are certain companies in the
United States that have patented inven-
tions in connection with wireless tel
egraphy. There is no company. how
ever. in the United States so far as
as aware. that Is today prepared to pro-
vide wireless telegraphy apparatus for
use or experiment; the policy of the
American companies appears to be chiefly
to control patents for money making pur-

He explained that the apparatus is by
no means perfect, and that it will not
work in very hot weather, although
no one knows why.

sary number to adopt the resolution of

Nor is it certain how Mr. Mason would
vote. He took sides with the Democrats
on Monday in the Tiilman Laurin mat

1t has been thirty-four years since
South Carolina has been without repre-

1t is not improbable that when the
naval appropriation bill is reported to the
House it will contain an appropriation
for experimenting with wireless teleg-
raphy at sea.
During a recent secret session of the
Naval Committee. Rear Admiral K. 3.
Bradford. Chief of the Bureau of Equip
mcnt. Navy Department, while speaking
OF the needs of his department. took oc-
casion to give the official view on wire
less telegraphy. The admiral said:
Wireless telegraphy has it's field of
usefulness essentially at sea. 1t is doubt
full if it will be of much service on land
where aerial telegraph lines can be es
tablishet.
Ships of all continental navies are
being supplied with wireless telegraph
apparatus; also. to some extent. those
of the small navies OF South American
countries.
1T is popular idea that the system
is entirely the invention of Mr.. Marconi,
and that he has monopoly of effective
appliances for the purpose. This. how
ever. is an error. At present the ap-
paratus is manufactured by two firms in
Germany, two in Paris, and one in Lon
don, the latter being the Marconi COM
many. MIR. Marconi has patented certain
apparatus in England, but it is doubtful

The charge is made that William j.

known as the Bad Lands" The exist

During the consideration Of the dipio-
matte and consular appropriation bill yes
terdav. Mr.. Richardson Dem, Ala) took
occasion to speak in reply to Nj. Corliss
(Rep.. Mich.) in advocacy of Government
cable to Manila.
Mr.. Richardson is a member of the
Commerce Committee Of the House, whlch
decided by bare majority of one TO Ia
yorably report the Government ownership
cable bill
Mr.. Richardson, in opening, protested
against the course which Mr. Corliss had
taken in delivering and widely dissent
Mating two speeches upon the subject be
fore the measure had come before the
House for consideration.
He said il appeared like an effort TO
forestall the judgment of the House. He
characterized il as a procedure more hur-
ried than was Hamlet's mothers mar
rage to her husbands brother.
While declaring that he had no special
friendship for corporations, and curing
his entire practice as an attorney he hau
never represented one, he favored the
building of the Pacific cable by the Com
mercial Pacific Gable Company because
il would not have to be subsidized by the
Government.
Mr.. Richardson said he did not believe
that a member had the right to malign
or impugn the motives of any person or
CORPORATION which had not the right to
reply here.
He then proceeded to point out some OF
Mr.. Corliss' "misstatements and errors.
He took up the Michigan's members
statement that Great Britain was about
TO construct a 1000 mile cable from Van
couyer to Australia and declared that the
statement was ingeniously made to AFFORD
a precedent for our Government, whereas
as a matter of fact, he said, Great Britain
had offered a subsidy to any private cor
poration which would build the cable. 1t
was only because no corporation could be
persuaded to take the risk that England
dacidad to construct the cable itself.
He also contradictod other statements
made by Mr.. Corliss. He denied that the
Commercial Cable Company had been Of
fered a subsidy by Germany TO land on the
Marshall Islands. The company. he said
was prepared If IL was practicable TO
build an all-American cable.

TO URGE SCHLEY MEASURE.
Maryland Delegation VIII Put Naval
Committee on Record.

Committee on Record.
The Maryland Congressional delegation
held n conference yesterday afternoon
in TIE room of Senator McComas, with
reference to the case of Admiral Schley.
Nearly the entire delegation was pres
ent. except Senator Wellington.
1t was decided that at the next meeting
of the House Committee on Naval Affairs
Mr.. Mudd snail propose the consideration
of some one of the three Schley measures
now before Congress. a vote of the com
mittee en- the bill considered will be
asked for.
Mr.. Mudd will probably be the only Re-
publican in the committee who will vote
favorably, and the bill will not be reported
favorably to the House, but the Schley
friends will then have accomplished the
purpose of putting the members of the
committee On record.
Another plan decided on is that petit
tion be circulated in the House asking
the Speaker to recognize one of the Mary
land Representatives to speak on the
question.
in this case also it is not considered
probable that the Republicans will sign
the petition, or that the Speaker will con-
sent to recognize a Schley champion.
All that is expected to be accomplished
is the putting on record of the Republic
can Representatives and the Speaker.

DISTRICT BILLS BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEE
Delegation Offers Suggestion
for Milk Laws.
DR.. Woodward Declares 1t Unfens-
ibie to Incorporate Moral and
Physical Health Regulations.

Two measures of very great interest to
the people of the District were consid-
cred yesterday by subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on the District of Co.
lumbia-the sanitary milk bill and the
sanitary buildings bill.
The committee members present were
Mr.. Mcmillan of Michigan, chairman; Mr..
Martin of Virginia. Mr.. Stewart of Ne
vada. and Mr.. Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire
To offer suggestions in connection with
the first named bill, there appeared be-
fore the committee a delegation from the
Milk Dealers and Producers Association,
Of Washington. ID. c.. and the States of
Maryland and Virginia, representing the
legislative committee OF that association
Some of these men are dealers. some

ger, ]. w. Gregg. F. K. Horner. Corbin
Thompson, j. n. Gibbs. of Mount Yer
non, Va, and J. W Roberts, OF Alexan-
dTia. Va.
The question of obtaining milk has been
one OF great concern to all large cities,
and the necessity for strict regulations to
govern the business and ensure the purity
of the fluid has been recognized alike by
dealers and producers on the one h~-' ana
~ I'IaIIICL uIuclaiS on the other.
There has been a great deal of discussion
regarding the present bill. and some minor
changes are likely.
Provisions of the Bill.
The provisions of the bill as it reads at
present are:
A careful inspection to be made by the
health officers of cows. stables. milk de-
pots, and utensils before permits shall
be issued to sell milk and cream.
MIX and cream must be kept at a tenn
perature below so degrees Fahrenheit.
No milk from cows suffering from any
disease shall be offered for sale or
brought into the District.
No person suffering from any communi-
cable disease shall be employed in a
dairy.

the wish that he might live to see the

House Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce, is called up in the House.
Representative Lowering of Massachu
sets and Representative Wagner of Penn
sylvana, who voted with the minority
against the owner hip by the Government
OF the cable, have made a special report
of their own on the matter.
They prefer that the Government shall
own the cable. but state that if the Gov
eminent does not decide to build one all
proper concessions should be given the
Commercial Pacific Gable Company. If
the Government does decide to build they
think it would be wise to buy all the in
tcrests of the Commercial Pacific Cable
Company. In their report they commend
the Commercial Pacific Company in their
purpose to lay private cable across the
Pacific.
Representative Mann of Illinois and
Representative Shackleford of Missouri,
who voted in favor of the Government
cable did not sign the majority report

opinions to the House in opposition to
some conditions of the Government cable
