WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Communication Between This City and
ANNAPOLIS Established.

Communication between Washington and
wireless telegraphy under the auspices of
the Navy Department. Some months ago
Lieutenant Hudg!ns of the navy was sent
10 Europe to procure the apparatus of as
many different systems as possible for ex-
perimental purposes here. He returned
about ten days ago with duplicate sets of
apparatus of four systems, not including
the Marconi system. Negotiations with
Marcont for sample apparatus failed BY
direction of Admiral Bradford, chief of the
bureau of equipment, Lieutenant Hudgins
proceeded to set up the apparatus at the
washington navy yard and at the Naval
Academy In Annapolis, between which
points 1t was decided to make the tests.
one of the systems was tested yesterday,
signals being intercha nged for the first time
The distance from Washington to ANNAPOLIS
Is about thirty-fre miles and the exchange
OF signals upon the first attempt is con-
sldered encouraging. In this initial stage Of
the tests the question of interference from
stray currents, which is one of the princi-
pal purposes of the tests remains unde-
termined. The other systems will be tested
IN succession, and board which Is to be
appointed shortly will decide the merits
OF the respective systems and report to the
Secretary of the Navy. The various sys-
TENS Will be tried at upon the warships
before a final conclusion is reached Hav
ing selected system. the board is to work
out general plan for the use Of wireless
telegraphy in the navy. This will include
plan for training electricians for operat-
ing the machines.

After a remarkable display of horseman-
ship which started in the Monument
grounds yesterday afternoon and ended
near the south end Of the Long bridge
Mounted Policeman Pat Creagh, who is
detailed for duty in the mall, arrested Fred
Ford, colored. on a charge of fast driving
Ford was driving horse attached to a
runabout in the Monument grounds at a
pretty good clip about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, when the officer called to him to
lower his speed. Instead of obeying in
structions he urged the horse on and then
the chase began. 1t led down 14th street,
past the bureau of engraving and printing,
and the streets in that vicinity were crowd
ed with employees from the bureau on their
way home. Fortunately no one was hurt.
Ford continued his wild flight down 18th
street and entered the Long bridge, fol-
lowed closely by the officer, who overlook
and placed him under arrest near the Fir-
ginia end.

SALE OF FRIARS' LANDS.
Report of Transfer to a Syndicate is
Doubted

A Manila dispatch says: Nothing Is
known here of the reported sale OF the
lands Of the friars to an American syndi-
cate and the statement that such a sale has
been made is officially discredited
The Dominicans transferred eight of their
estates in the Island OF Luzon to the Phil
ippine Sugar Estates Development Com
pany, in which certain Americans are in
terested. in January, 1900. The government
has questioned the legality of this transfer
and the matter is now pending before the
courts. Some property belonging to other
religious orders here is nominally outside
Of the control of the church and judicial
action will probably be necessary before tho
government purchases the friar lands. That
there have been recent transfers of friar
property is doubted. The status of the hold
ings of the friars is not believed to nave
changed since Gov. Taft left the Philippines
for Washington last December.

Lancaster was unarmed. He denied that

he was mixed up in the affair He had a
wound in his shoulder which he claimed,

off the other night when you did they
would have got me sure. They were most
up to my HEELS
Discussing the trouble after his arrest
the prisoner admitted that Chief Wilmoth
had hold of him at the time the fatal shot
was fired. The murder caused considerable
excitement about the vicinity Of Womes-
dorf, and threats of violence were freely
made. Because of these threats the pris-
oner was taken to a place where the au-
thorities thought they would be able to
protect him.
Lancaster is well known in police circles
here, having been arrested many times.
He served three terms in the penitentiary
for burglary and highway robbery, as well
as a number Of terms in Jail for theft. He
