REFERRED TO CITY SOLICITOR.
Mr.. Pendleton's Second Complaint
About the Harvey Building.

: The District Commissioners have received
a second letter from Mr.. Eugene Pendleton
complaining Of conditions existing about
the Harvey building, at 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue. This time Mr.. Pen
dieton alleges a violation of the building
regulations He says sheds covered by
galvanized iron exist on the 11th street side
of the building. constituting projections
contrary to the regulations.
The inspector of buildings, Mr.. Snowden
Ashford, has reported upon the matter to
the Commissioners. saying he has caused
the records of the Office to be searched and
that authority was found only for the cree
ton Of the metallic bay window. Mr.. Ash
ford says the area along 11th street must
have been In place prior to 1877, and also
that the improvements, except that men
toned, were erected In 1875 or 1876 with
the approval of the late Thomas M. PIow-
man, who at that time was In charge of
buildings under the board of public works
> An the present ONCE was not organized
prior to, 1877 Mr.. Ashford does not think
he can take action unless the complaint per-
tains to q condition unsafe to life and limb
or at variance with the regulations at the
time OF erection Colonel Biddle, the En-
gineer Commissioner. has forwarded the
papers to hfs associates, with the sugges-
ton that the matter be referred TO the city
solicitor for an opinion az to the authority
of the District Commissioners to cause the
removal Of the projections referred to.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Theme Of an Address Given by Mr.. r.
B, Pierce

An address on wireless telegraphy and
the progress of its development was delfy-
cred at the Cosmos Club last evening be-
fore the Anthropolog1cai Society by Mr.. p.
B. Pierce OF the patent Office. Preceding
this part Of the program an account of
the graphophone was given BY Prof. Emil
Berliner,, illustrated by the use OF one of
the instruments. Prof. Fred NJ. Tyron de-
scribed the development of the hydraulic
arts.
In regard to the earlier experiments with
wireless telegraphy Mr.. Pierce said:
Fifty years have tifeiess investigators
and inventors bent their faculties to the
task OF sending the Morse alphabet over
non-metallic circuits. Prof Morse him
self. In conjunction with his collabora-
tors, Profs. Gale and Rogers, actually DEM
onstrated In 1912 the success of the wire
less telegraph across the SusQuehanna
river at Havre de Grace, q distance of
nearly mile. Prof Morse left the rec
ordS or these experiments, including many
details. such as the size of his battery, the
length Of his conductors, etc. Similar ex-
periments were prosecuted by Steinheil, in
Bavaria, and Lindsay, In Scotland, follow
ing along the lines Of Morse's discovery
that a current of electricity discharged into
the ground at one terminal of the wire
would complete the circuit at the other ter
minal the same if carried back by a me
tallic circuit. But these experim ents did
not make the wireless telegraphy as 1t Is
understood now
IAN innumerable host of Details" he
added, ''is yet to be worked out an innu-
merable host of discouraging difficulties is
yet to be overcome The problem of inter-
ference Is one of the most serious. How
each message transmitted shall be picked
out by its own receiver and not by any
that is a stranger to it is a question of
the greatest Importance. For, obviously,
wireless biography Is OF no commercial Or
strategic value if any operator can take
upon any receiver the messages transmit
ted by every other operator. We must
have segregator, or identifier, capable of
responding only to the call of its transmit
ting mate.
''Marconi says he has solved the prob
lem by syntony-that is to say. he has
fallen back on the old principle. by which,
for example. a violin string emitting GER
tain note will cause tuning fork to ex-
actly respond, provided both have the same
natural rate of vibration. Every electrical
circuit. a continuous sequence of wire
without instruments along the route, shows
a preference for some particular frequency
when conducting a rapidly alternating cur
rent. This may be called its natural rate.
The circuit will conduct alterations OF
other frequencies, of course. but less ad-
vantageousy. The natural rate. however,
can be altered by varying the length of the
wire or by subjecting the instruments in
the circuit to certain notifications.

Address on Duty and Destiny.

Mr.. John c. Dancy, recorder Of deeds for
the District of Columbia, made an address
last night before the Bethel Literary So
ciety. his theme being DUTY and Des-
tiny" In the course of the address he said:
''The duty of our manhood is to heed the
admonitions of Macaulay in order to win
the great battles which face us in the pres
ent crisis of the races history. We need
to fortify ourselves by careful study and
thorough preparation to meet every danger
and circumvent every opposition menacing
our liberty. Joseph rose to ruIership in
Egypt. In spite of the fact that he was a
slave, because of his ability to penetrate
into the future and prepare for coming
events He rose to preference not because
he sought it, but because he made himself
Indispensable to it. The ideal is the life
and the higher the ideal the higher the life
1.-The glory of any race is the manhood Of
that race. Develop that and all else will
come. The training must begin at the fire
side and continue through every stage Of
the chifd's progress. The boy must be
taught that he needs the same training
the same mental development that it takes
to make boys Of other races great.
THE future glory of the country and the
common good Of all the people of the great
est nation in the world demands that fur

CUBA BEING SACRIFICED.
The Victim in the Battle Between Two
Trusts.


Mr.. L. v. de Abad, secretary Of the Gu
pan delegation on economic affairs, on be-
ing asked as to the truth of the repeated
statement that the present crop of sugar
in Cuba had been bought up by the sugar
trust, stated:
''It is being repeated again that the sugar
crop of Cuba has been sold to the trust.
The story at the present time, as before, is
SO absurd that were it not repeated for po-
litical effect it would be too absurd to
merit serious consideration or refutation.
Secretary Root and other persons interest
ed in Cuban affairs have had opportunity
In these last days to inform themselves,
through Gen. Wood. al present in Wash
ington, of the falsty of the assertion. Gen.
wood has been constant student of Gu
ban affairs and knows the situation thor
oughly.
THE sugar trust never bought the Gu
ban crop. A number of Cuban merchants
and others in New York buy the crop and
ship it to the United States.
This year the planters, confident that
Congress would grant them some relief,
insist on not selling their sugar. and as the
situation for the sugar industry is so crit
tcal in order not to be deprived of the tar
lift reduction which they are expecting they
have been delivering their sugar to Cuban
merchants, receiving part payment on the
same. the half or a little more than half of
its value, leaving the price open until it Is
known what Congress will DO. For this
reason, the sugar trust has bought less.
much less, than in former years at this
date, and nearly the entire crop is still in
the hands Of planters and local merchants
awaiting the action of Congress.
The Situation Is just this: Between one
trust. the beet sugar trust. which IS fight
ing another trust. the American Refining
Company, Cuba is between the upper and
neither mill stones, being sacrificed in a bat
