A WIRELESS FEUD.
Marconi and Slaby-Arco Troubles Be-
coming International.

New York. March 31.-The feud be-
tween the Marconi and Slaby-Arco
wireless biography companies has be-
come the subject of International diplo-
matte controversy, according to the
Berlin correspondent of the Herald.
The German government, has, it is
stated, sent an official protest to the
British government against the n eth
DDS of the Marooni company and the
boycott instituted against ships equip
ped with the Slaby-Arco apparatus.
The refusal of the Marconi operators
to receive or transmit messages sent
from the Slaby-Arco transmitters and
especially the manner in which it is said
the greetings of the Deutschland with
Prince Henry on board were ignored at
the Nantucket, Lizard and Cornwall
stations, is the cause.
As previously reported, the German
navy department has framed a bill
which will be presented to parliament
Immediately after Easter. the purpose
of Which is to give the government
authority to control wireless telegra ply
and make uniform rates.
The emperor also is taking hand in
the fight.
There is no intention here of infringing
upon the rights of the Marconi company
but it is asserted that the various gov
ernn ents must take control of wireless
telegra phic communication so as to
make common laws and be able to give
conditional concessions which will
oblige the Marconi as well as the Slaby-
Arco and the other competing compa-
mics to take each others messages with
out discrimination.
