WIRELESS TELEPHONY
Successful Experiments by the
United States Signal Corps.
Words Distinctly Audible at q Distance
or Aso Feet-Feat Regarded as Impor-
tant-UsinR Wireless Teleeraphy.

Washington. ID. C.-The Signal Corps
OF the United States Army has sue
ceeded In sending wireless telephone
messages distance of $50 feet.
These messages were not sent In the
Morse code, but in words, uttered In
ordinary. clear, speaking tones, such us
would normally carry distance OF
thirty or forty feet at most.
The distances ut which these mes
sages have been clearly heard by the
latest experiments exceeds the length
of two ordinary city blocks.
This achievement is regarded as high
ly important by the Signal Corps of
ficials. They have been conducting ex-
periments with wireless telephone mes
saSes for several months, but only
lately have they succeeded in getting
beyond the 4OO-foot mark. They re-
gard the principle as practically dem
onstrated now, and look confidently to
doubling the distance In the very near
future, with good prospect later Of
placing wireless telephone messages In
the same class with wireless telegrn-
ply.
General Greeley has acknowledged
tnat officers OF the corps have been ex-
perlmenting with the wireless tele-
phone for some time, and, though in
clined to be extremely reticent, he has
admitted that they have met with
what be termed "a moderate degree OF
success"
The system by which these wireless
telephone messages have been trans
mitted Is very much like that en-
ployed in wireless telegraphy. The in
struments used. however, are, If any
thing, even more delicate than those
used by Marconi. The main point
or distinction between wireless tcle-
phone and wireless telegraph messages
Is that with the telephone messages
words must be reproduced instead OF
dots and dashes.
The Signal Corps officers regard the
possibilities of wireless telephoning as
or even greater value to the Army than
wireless telegraphy.
The system by which these wireless
telephone messages have been sent is
said to be the conception of Signal
Corps officers. The work Will be dill
gently continued.
The Signal Corps has been making
practical use of wireless telegraphy ut
San Francisco for twenty-five months.
Il fact not generally known. Officials
here say that the system there has
worked perfectly at varying distances.

PORTO RlCO'S NEW LAWS
A Long Step Toward Local Self
Government in the Island.
Report OF tho Commission to tho Az.
observation-disclosures Changes
In tho Spanish Code.

Washington. ID. C.-The commission
to revise and compile the laws of Porto
Rico. appointed by virtue of the act Of
April II. 1000, has submitted its report
to the Attorney-G General The commits
sion consisted OF Joseph f. DAILY. of
New York; l.. s. Rowe. of Pennsylva-
MIA, and Juan Hernandez Lopez. OF
Porto Rico. The work undertaken was
the revision and compilation of practi-
cally all the old Spanish laws.
Ihe commission. after an exhaustive
STUDY or the Spanish system. proceed
ed 10 make the most necessary changes
such as the reorganization of The indi.
cial system and the system of local
government, the revision of the Inv
of marriage and divorce and wills and
lntestacies, and number OF other I'M
portant branches OF the civil and Grim
maj law. The most important work of
the commission was the revision of the
organic act of Porto Rico, commonly
known rs the Foraker act
Ihe system OF local government pro-
posed by the commission includes n
county, city and village organization.
Under Spanish rule the island was di-
vided into sixtyseven divisions known
as "municipios." which were subjected
to the strictest form of control by tho
central government. The mayors were
appointed by the Governor G General.
and the members OF the town council
were subject to his will in fact. il not
In law. Local self-governmcnt was un-
known
The committee has taken n long step
In the direction of local autonomy. but
has given sufficient power to the insu-
lar government to guard against the
dangers OF local ineXpcrience or incom-
petence. Briefly stated. the system
leaves the local authorities the man
agemcnt OF local affairs but prescribes
II definite standard of efficiency in the
most important services. such rs sani-
thtion drainage. water supply. street
cleaning, etc. If the local government
fail to meet these standards. the insu-
lar government has sufficient power to
meet every emergency.
The habcas corpus act is another of
the important changes proposed by the
commission. The subject of mar
riaSe and divorce also is fully treated.

POERS SEE PRESIDENT
They Appeal For Action to End the
South African War.
D44si,e tho Intervention OF Our Govern
nfent-No Indication That Any Action
VIII DO Taken at Washington.

Washington, d. C.-The object OF tho
visit 70 Washington of c. II. Vessels
and ID. w. Wolmarans, the Special
commissioners of the Boer republic,
was made plain when they called on
Pres\ident Roosevelt and laid before
him Ian appeal to take some action in
the name of the Government OF the
United States to bring to an end the
war I'm South Africa. Prior to their
call at the White House the Commits.
sioneHs had long interview with Sec.
retaryI Hay at the State Department.
in which there was n full and free ex-
cnange OF views over the South African
situation.
In their Interview with Secretary
Hay the Boer Commissioners made an
appeal for some action on the part OF
the united States that would terminate
hostiIties. While preferring that this
action s. [hould take the form of inter
vention, they did not make any spe-
clfic reqtest, leaving the determination
OF the character OF whatever steps the
Government might take to the Presi-
dent andl the Secretary OF State In
other words, their appeal was ad-
dressed To the sympathies of this Gov
eTHHlent ana lndlcated that the Beers
would be satisfied If an arrangement
could be made whereby hostilities
would cease. Mr.. Hay pointed out to
the Boer Representatives that the Prcsi-
dent was the supreme authority in
such matters, and he advised that
Messrs. Vessels and Wolmarans lay
their case before him. At the same
time he prPmised that consideration
should be given their representations
and let them understand that the Gov
ernment OF the United States was only
too willing tlo see the end OF the war
in South Africa
President Roosevelt received Messrs.
vessels andy Wolmarans In his office.
Secretary Hay was present. The inter
View was entirely unofficial and infor-
NAL and did pot last very long The
representationf that had been laid be-
rore Secretary Hay We're repeated to
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, and it ia under
stood that he promised To give them
consideration. 1t is generally taken
FOR granted that the President will not
make any radical departure from the
rue laid down. by his predecessor in
Office, That an Appeal must come from
poth sides befdre tho United States
may take any steps looking to bringing
about an endlng1 of the South African
war. Even should the President deter
mine TO take some action, the most
that may be EXPECTED il that he will
communicate to the British Govern
ment the appeall made by the Boer
commissioners without any suggestion
or recommendation.
