According to information that Is;
certainly not more than semi-official,
the Rock Island road will on June l
make a radical change in the way of
maintaining its way and tracks
placing the entire matter under the
Jurisdiction of the general manager,
instead of that of the chief engineer
as at present. One thing that gives
the report at least semblance of
probability * the fact that General
Manager GOodnow came to Rock Is
land from Il road which already has
this system i'm vogue.
Under the new management each
division superintendent will be
placed i'm charge of the track, road
bed. sidings and yards of his own
division and will be held responsible
for their physical condition. The
five division superintendent of the
lines east of the Missouri river will
report to General Superintendent w.
NJ. Hobbs at Chicago. while the sup
erintendents of the five divisions west
of the river will report to General
Superintendent II. ). Cable ut To-
peka. The two general supcrinten-
dents in turn will report regarding
the physical divisions of their por-
tions of the Rock Island 10 General

erintendents, general superintendent
reporting to president.

by the new organization the di-
vision superintendent will be given
enlarged opportunities to- show their
value to the system. and promotions
may i'm the future come To the men

FROM CANADA TO ENGLAND
INVENTOR HIMSELF ANNOUNCES
HIS GREAT ACHIEVE.
sMEN'f.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 23.-After eight
experiments conducted with the great
est secrecy, Marconi announces that he
has solved the problem of wireless
transoceanic communication and has
successfully transmitted messages
from the shores of Canada to the coast
of England. The formal announce
ment of this achievement was made by
the inventor himself yesterday when
he stated that wireless messages had
been successfully transmitted and for.
warded from the governor general OF
Canada to King Edward VII. of Great
Britain and to the king of Italy.
DR.. George R. Parkin, principal Of
Upper Canada college, trustee Of the
Rhodes scholarships, was present
when one of the successful tests was
made. Prior to December, 1901, the
greatest distance covered
BY Wireless Tefseraphy
scarcely exceeded 100 miles. Early ID
that year Marconi visited NewfOdhd.
land and from Signal Hill commenced
experiments with Cornwall, and on
Dec. IL and 13 of that year, faint Gig.
nails Of the letter IS" repeated several
times, were caught by ear only with
the aid of telephones. Later on Mar.
conf, on board Of the steamship Philae
delphia, bound for America, succeeded
In establishing communication with
Cornwall, q distance OF 2,1O0 miles.
Transoceanic messages also were re.
ceived on board the Italian warship
Carlo Alberto while that vessel lay at
anchor in Sydney harbor on Oct. 81.
and since then Marconi has been per.
fecting the apparatus at Table Head.
He met with innumerable dificultie8
there, but at last has succeeded in
sending a transoceanic wireless mes
sage from Canada to Cornwall, dis
tance of $4,000 miles. The Carlo Al-
berto some days ago, was ordered to
proceed to Venezuela, but as her Inn.
mediate departure would seriously dc.
lay
Marconi' operations,
the, order was modified and she was
held at Sydney until transatlantic com.
munication was successfully accom-.
plished. She has sailed for Venezuel4
to take part in the blockade operations.
London, Dec 23-1he London Times
confirms the receipt of a message by
wireless telegraphy from Marconi q
Cape Breton.
The text of the wireless message
from the Times correspondent, which
was transmitted from Glace Bay, N. b.
to Poldhu. Cornwall. is as follows:
Being present at its trans mission II
Sig. Marconi's Canadian station have
the honor to send through the Times
the inventors first wireless transatlanr
tic message of greeting to England

Pretend to Hang a Student Who Was
Being Initiated.
Madison, Wis, Dec. 23.-A party Of
fraternity boys of the university threw
the clerks and guests of the Avenue
hotel into panic last night by re-
alistically hanging one of their number
in a back room in the basement of the
hotel.
The vistim was being initiated into
a Greek letter society, and the boys
had arranged mock hanging as part
of the ceremony. After having i'm.
bibed freely of refreshments the party
proceeded to hang the man being in
ittated. They took strong rope, a
little heavier than a clothes line, and
suspended him from a hook in the cell
Ing. At this time the bartender came
into the room. and, thinking the novice
was really being hanged, secured
butcher knife and cut him down. The
boys became boisterous and the pro-
prietor of the buffet induced them to
go home The affair gave rise to the
runner that student had bee nacci.
xlentally hanged by some of his friends
during an initiatOry ceremony.
