A WIRELESS PHONE NOW
This One Works Best on Water and
Is Fine for Ferry 49,.

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Hartford, Conn.,, July 25.--By means of
his wireless telephone, Frederick Collins
successfully transmitted speech between
this, city and East Hartford with the
Connecticut river intervening.
Previous experiments by the inventor
have been made from one Hudson river
ferryboat to another, and they have been
fairlyl successful. The instruments
which were employed to-day were used in
transmitting messages in experiments
made at Roclxland lake, where articulate
speech was communicated for the distance
of a mile.
The wireless telephone partakes Of the
| nature Of both the wireless telegraph and
the ordinary. telephone, altho there are
several differences in detail The prin-
cfple rests on compromising of the low
frequency alterations Of the telephone and
the highest frequency oscillations Of the
wireless telegraph. -..,
The distance over which the wireless
telephone will work at present is limited,
but the inventor is confident that in time
the difficulty will be overcome. The ap-
paratus operates in open air, but not to
any appreciable distance. The most sue
cessful experiments have been made on
water. %,
This new system is said to be especial
ly useful for ferryboats and other harbor
craft as by means Of it m essages may be
| readily sent from one to the other.
The energy from the wireless telephone
is radiated in every direction, but this
| feature is not Objectionable, as in the har-
| Dor the various vessels should be aware
| of the presence of each other. 1t is the
| contention Of the inventor that there has
been no real improvement in the means
| of signaling craft since the Introduction of
| the steam whistle.

Washington, July 25.-While Speaker
to-be Cannon was in Washington, every
newspaper in town attempted to. make hin,

fused, but told the following story to give
point to his determination to keep his
mouth shut at this juncture Of public af-

"The present condition Of affairs re-

the rounds, first studying the lions, tigers
and elephants and monkeys and the one
baboon. This babOOn was the biggest

returned to the cage four times, scrutiniz

NOT SO MUCH
TIMBER IN SIGHT
The Land Office Says That the Lum.
bermen Have 0veresti-
mated It.


From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, July 25.-Acting Commits
sioner Fimple Of the land office said to-
day that careful consideration would be
given the complaints Of the lumberme en-
against the limit for removing lumber
from the Leech Lake reservation.
The bureau is now considering regula-
tons for the cutting Of timber from for
ested area, bids for which are to be
opened Dec. %, and the indications are
that the bidders will be given at: least an
other year or to July /, 1906, to remove
that timber. -.,.
The idea of giving ten years is derided
by the department., because they say the
expense Of caring for the timber, and OF
the salaries of scalers and others would
consume nearly all the value.
One fact that Is pointed out is that the
lumbermen, appear to be 1aboring under
a misrepresentation as to the amount OF
timber offered for sale. The pamphlet
issued by the land office containing the
description Of land and an estimate of the
timber on each forty" with regulations
for cutting. shows that the government
agents estimate a total Of 203, 763,500 feet
on the unreserved area, to be sold Dec. 6
while the lumbermen have been claiming
that 1900, 100000 feet are to be cut. n
Land office estimates of timber to be
cut from forested area is slightly more
than on the unreserved area, or about
250,000,000 Assuming that the estimate
of the government agents Is correct, the
officials Of the land office say that they
were justified in requiring bidders to re.
move the timber by July l., 1905. Com.
missioner Richards will return to Wash.
ington Monday and this will be one of the
many matters called to his attention

AN INGENIOUS SWINDLE
Confding Temperance Women in
Michigan Led to Give Up
SIS Each. II; !

New York, July 25.-Hundreds Of cred
ulous women in this city and thruout
the country have been taken in by the in
genious swindle launched on gigantic
scale and just run to cover in Detroit.
Each victim was mulcted to the extent Of
from SIS to $25, the sums aggregat ting
many thousands of dollars. The fraud was
perpetrated under the name of league
of women, the alleged objects of which are
woman suffrage, national temperance,
etc. Owing to the similarity of the name
with that of a well known organization
the work Of securing victims was easy.
Advertisements were published here
early in June for local secretaries" to
| whom salary of 5000 was offered.
Those who answered were the recipients
of glowing letters and finally received
checks for s25 to pay expense of a trip to
Detroit. The intending secretary was
warned that reduced rates of fare could
be secured by sending SIS to an alleged
passenger agent in Cleveland within three
| days. The checks were hurriedly cashed
in almost every instance and came back
protested. The seeker of employment
therefore was minus SIS in good money,
which presumably fell into the hands Of

This is the situation to-day. Presi-
dent Tatum Of the International Broth
erhood Of Bookbinders. is now en- route
here from Chicago to advise with the local
leaders. The latter have decided to avoid
any clash with the government.
Miller was expected to report for duty
this morning, but failed to appear and Is
not expected to report before Monday.
A committee Of the bookbinders was in
conference to-day but they announced
present. They assert that the matter
will be adjusted satisfactorily and that
on the new charges which have been filed,
Miller will be dropped from the service.
The charges which are the ones on which
Miller's expulsion from the union were
based, are now under investigation by
government officials. g..
The public printer is expected to act
promptly. He may suspend Miller wher
he appears for work Monday morning and
open the investigation at once.
This is what the binders want him tt
do. 1t would save them much embar-
rassment, and mean that they would not
have to work with Miller until there has
been an investigation of the charges, ant
not then in case a verdict of guilty should
be found and approved by the president
Thus far the advantage is with Miller
and if he can manage to preserve his
proper balance and refrain from talking

Rome, July 25.-At the meeting of the
congregation Cardinal Satolli asked when
the conclave would he opened. Cardinal
Oreglia replied that on the evening of Fri
day, the 31st, all the cardinals might enter
their cells and be ready for the first meet
ing Of the conclave Aug. l, a week from
to-day.
Monsignor Farabulini, the famous Lat
mist whom Gladstone often consulted, and
Of whom the German emperor requested
advice concerning Latin, was selected to
write the cratic brevis, the Latin eulogy
upon the late pontiff, which will be buried
with him.
The congregation approved the legacy of
Leo to the poor, dividing it as follows:
$4,000 for Rome; $4,000 for Perugia, where
Leo was for many years archbishop, and
$4,000 for Carpineto, where he was born.
The Italia sees confirmation of the story
that Cardinal Gibbons had succeeded in
Transforming Cardinal Richard, archbishop
of Paris, into an opponent of Rampolla
in the fact that Cardinal Gibbons did not
leave Cardinal Richard while in Paris, that
they left together for Rome, Travelled to-
gether and will lodge together at the house
of the Order of st. Sulpice. AS a matter
Of fact, only the statement that they will
lodge together is true. They did not start
for Rome together. Cardinal Richard is
coming via Modane and Cardinal Gibbons
via St. Gothard Pass. The latter is ex-
pected here Sunday evening or Monday
morning.

Inside the vatican the work of arranging
the apartments for the conclave has been
begun. The court yards are choked with
carts, bricks and building material for
raising the walls where doors exist.
Cardinal Oreglia is increasing in favor
daily, even in the government circles.
where it is remembered that it was thru
his efforts that the propaganda Of the
vatican adhered to the request OF the Ital-
ian government to establish an apostolic
prefecture In Erithrea.
Much comment was excited by drive
which Cardinal Oreglia took thru the vati-
can gardens.

saw the papal carriage approaching. sur

cardinal looking out at them.
The camerlengo did not appear satisfied
with what he saw. He shook his head ex-
claiming dismally: What decay; what
neglect could not remain shut up in
this melancholy place. I should die with
In a year"
The gossips now wish to know if this
means that the cardinal would not ACCEPT
the papacy, or, accepting, would refuse to
be the voluntary, traditional vatican pris-
oner. A more probable Interpretation OF
his remarks would be that If made pope
he would institute great changes.
