whenever news has been received here

has taken the ground that these init

PREDECESSORS TO MARCoSJ'

Now that the marvels performed by
Marconl are daily brought to the mo-
tlce Of the reading public It may not
be without interest TO learn something
about attempts at wireless teItgraphy
that have preceded those Of the sue
cesstuI inventor.
Or, Goodspeed Of the Pennsylvania
university, says that more than a CEN
tury ago, Saliva suggested water as an
electrical conductor. In 1885, stelnhell
Of Munich, found that a return wire
was unnecessary, and that the earth
would serve the purpose. In 1919 Pro-
fessor Morse sent signals across an
SO-foot canal without wires. In 1854,
scotchman, Lindsay, patented a
method similar to that OF Morse and
the next year got out rather detailed
plans for ocean telegraphs and In
sisted that the wires must be welded
by electricity" a process accomplished
but recently Five years later he read
paper before the British association
In Aberdeen on "Telegraphy Without
Wires" which was fayorably spoken Of
by Lord Rose, Faraday and Airy
In 1872, an American dentist NAH
Ion LOOMS, suggested that the upper
air Dc used as one Of the media and
the earth az the other. and a company
was formed to promote this scheme.
Then the telephone was invented, and
this suggested series Of experiments
on electromagnetic induction; a prln-
clple discovered by Faraday in 1881.
In order to produce signals at q dis
lance without connecting wires, Prom
lnent among early experimenters along
this line were Trowbrldge Of Harvard,
and Dolbear, OF Tufts, the former ac-
tualy suggesting theoretically posi-
Bile though impractical method OF telc-
graphing across the Atlantic ocean
without cables.
u all goes to show that wireless tele-
graphy across the Atlantic, surprising
II to have been made possible, is but
the outcome Of persistent scientific ef-
fort In one direction. II is the finding

THE SUGAR CONTROVERSY.

The hearing before the Congressional
committee at Washington, on the pro-
posed reduction Of the sugar tariff for
the alleged benefit Of Cuban producers.
has brought to the surface some inter
estlng facts and arguments, The tes-
tlmony Of Bishop 4, II. Cutler on
Thursday, appears to have made a
very strong and favorable impression.
He denied emphatioally the story at
tributed TO him that beet sugar could
be produced IN Utah at a profit for 8
cents pound and gave good reasons
IN support Of his denial. He also took
strong ground in favor Of protection
for the industry, and opposed any re-
ductlon whatever in the duty on the raw
material. The case had been previous
ly well and clearly put by Mr.. oxnard,
He presented the nub Of the matter

and that there Is no reason why Cuban

ther, that in the consideration OF the

tarlft question there was no good rea-
son why the American sugar industry
should be singled out FOR injury In
order to benefit a powerful trust
The representatives OF the sugar in
dustry IN Michigan gave some very
strong testimony, 90 to the value to
the country Of Investments in that
state, which now amount to S17OO,oOo
and have grown to that sum within the
last three years They showed also
that Congress had induced that invest
ment and encouraged the establishment
Of the industry, and that It would be
inconsistent rs well az damaging to
destroy what had been built mp by that
means, FOR the sake Of making special
concessions to the Cubang,
The sugar interests Of Louisiana
were ably presented by 7, p, HIN, Of
New Orleans, who showed the injury
that would be done TO that state by
the proposed reduction OF the duty on
Cuban sugar And he presented In a
forclblo manner one great and valid
objection TO the movement now on
foot under the plea Of aiding cuba
which Is, as he asserted that the sugar
trust was behind the cuban movement.
And he presented statistics to show
that the result Of concessions to Cuba
would make The sugar trust the real
beneficiary constituting that organIza-
ton a colossal monopoly in cuba.
That tx one Of the strong grounds Of
opposition TO the free trade proposi-
ton as to Cuban products, to be met
with reciprocity by the free admission
TO that Island Of American products,
and also to any considerable reduction
IN the duties on Cuban sugar and to-
baoco Evidence Is very strong that
the movement N not for the benefit Of
the people Of that island, but for the
enrichment Of the sugar trust In this
country which II Is alleged, has gain
ed possession Of options upon many
plantations In that island, from which
they win reap immense profits II the
rehnerles In this country can obtain
the raw material free or comparatively
free of duty,
The plea that the American consul
mer would gain the benefit In cheaper
sugar, has very little weight in arsu.
ment, for Il Is certain that the reduc-
ton IN the retail price would only. be
sufficient TO cripple the homo beet-sug-
ar Industry, while the big results would
accrue 10 the monopollsts, That Is the
reason why even some strong advo-
Gates Of free trade or OF tariff reduce
tion on general principles, unite with
thes champions Of protection, In pro-
testing against the scheme involved in
the attempt at that which Is concealed
under the taking title Of reciprocity
with the Cubans" The fight Is stlll
on, and we feel assured that the result
will not be disastrous to the great and
growing beet-sugar Industry Of the
United States.

THAT STARTLING TESTIMONY.

The dramatic incident which occurred
IN the court room on Thursday when
Hon. James sharp father-in.law Of
the lamented James r, Hay, repeated
his conversation with Peter Mortensen,
stating that God had revealed 10 him
that Mortensen murdered Hay, has
naturally caused big sensation and
occasoned conflicting comment Sur.
prise Is felt In some quarters that the
testimony ON this point was permitted
to 80 In OF record. II is claimed that
such testimony Is not evidence. such
as can be recognized by a trial court,
There are many people, however, who
think that everything bearing on the
case should be brought forward and
made public, even II II is not strictly
and technically within the lines Of
criminal Jurisprudence.
II should be understood thats Mr..
Sharp aid not volunteer this testimony;
also that II was not brought out by the
prosecution, II was while under cross
examination that IN reply to pointed
questions by the attorney for the de-
Tense, the witness made the replies
that have occasloned such a stir. No
blame, therefore, can attach to the Wit
ness or to the prosecuting officers, and
Il must be remembered that the pro-
ceedings were only a preliminary ex-
animation, and not a trial such as the
accused Will be entitled to IL committed,
Justice Nielsen has exhibited com
fnendabIe fairness In conducting the
proceedings, and has given great lee
way on both sides Usually, objections
to questions or answers IN the course
OF testimony are made by the attor-
neys on either side, and the court
either sustalns or overrules those OBJ
jections, None we're offered when the
defendants attorney closely questioned
Mr.. Sharp on the point now oonsId-
cred. and that gentleman replied with
the utmost sincerity and frankness,
What object counsel had In view In
thus interrogating the witness, is q
mystery to legal minds as well AZ to
onlookers. However, we cannot see
where any blame can be Justly attached
either to the court or to the witness.
The public desire TO receive light on
this terrible tragedy, no matter from
what source, and while II Is probable
that such testimony as that drawn out
from Mr., sharp by the defense would
not be admitted in a trial court, no
harm can come to the case on either
side by its admission at the examlna-
ton. The only question for the justice
to decide Is as 10 whether sufficient real
evidence has been adduced TO warrant
the commital OF the defendant for fur
Their action, or whether II is insufficient
to 80 to a jury
The court Is fully competent to
weigh the testimony, to reject that
which Ia not evidence and TO Judge
whether the case ought TO go to trial
We VIII not anticipate his decision by
expressing either our own or the gen
eral opinion on that subject. The case
Is Of uncommon interest, and nothing
that has occurred in this community OF
a criminal character has aroused 80
much attention, or weighed 30 heavily
upon the feelings Of all classes Of our
people, We hope that justice win be
done by the punishment OF the guilty,
and the vindlcatlon Of the Innocent,
