1.-THE longest distance messages
have been transmitted is 1851 miles,
and signals have been received up ia
over 1000 miles. Messages have been
transmitted overland for distances Of
100 miles, and communications have
been carried on between London and

Mr.. Marconi did not deny the posi-
bility Of messages being interrupted,
but experiments had proven that even
il they were, the messages would con.
tinue their destination, suffering alb
sclutely no delay because of intercept
ton. Mr.. Marconi said the Italian
government had granted 40, 900 pounds
for the establishment of q station in
Italy. The British government pays
q large royalty for instruments used
in the British navy. He also added
that q company with capital Of six
millions had been organized in the

State Board Of Health Will Doubt
less Make Fight,
Cannot Afford for Judge Lightfoot's
Opinion to Remain Preoe-
dent in State.
MUCH Is INVOLVED In IT

II is probable from statements Of
members Of the county board of health
that the state hoard will authorize an
appeal of the Luttrell vaccination case
to the appellate court, in order to
have it pass on the questions involved.
The state board cannot afford to allow
the opinion to remain unchallenged, IL
is said, and for that reason will take
it TO the highest courts. The princi.
pie will completely overthrow the eff
cacy of revery county board: of health
in the state and the state ana munich
pal boards as we'll, II allowed to stand.
Mr.. Luttrell, it will be remembered,
desired to test the compulsory vsoci-
nation law. Smallpox appeared in
certain sections Of the county. and to
guard against future epidemics of the
disease the county board ordered the
children vaocinated under the law
which authorizes health boards to
makes such regulations as are in their
opinion essential to the health Of com
munities. When the rules are made
by such boards, the statutes say any
person who violates them is subject to
tine.t
II was oontended by Mr.. Luttell's
attorneys that the legislature had no
right to give the board of health such
power.
II is understood that Judge Light
foot will decide that laws must be
made by legislative bodies, and that
the board of health has no right to
make laws.
The members Of the board of health
say that Judge Lightfoot is wrong.
That they have under what is known
as police regulations, the authority
to do whatever is necessary for the
health Of any section within their ju-
risdiotlon. That they do not make
laws, and do not prescribe penalties.
That the legislature made the law,
which is that the regulations of
boards OF health must be complied
with, and prescribed the penalty,
which may be as much 800.
The board Of health simply makes
the rules, or in other words orders
what is necessary to prevent a spread
of disease, and the legislature says
If those orders are not obeyed the
offender shall be fined.
Until Judge Lightfoot renders
written opinion, however, it cannot
be told what will be done. II seems
certain that lively fight will result
from the decision. as the health boards
will have to make fight or pass out
of existence.
