ted Practicability of Its System
in Chicago Yesterday.
ARMOUR MAY ADOPT METHOD.
Considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
Substituting Wireless Telegra-
ply for Leased Wires-Tall
Buildings Do Not I'M
pede Waves.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Chicago. Ill, March S.-Wireless teleG-
raphy went into operation in Chicago To-
day and messages as distinguished from a.
phabetical tests were passing all day be-
tween the offices OF Armour & Co. at tho
stock yards and their general ofiices in the
Home Insurance building.
The operation was conducted by Lee Do
Forest, the vice president Of the American
De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company.
and was an exhibition Of the system for
the benefit Of Armour & Co.. who are So
licited to substitute It for their twelve
wires to tho stock yards and their tele-
graphic connections with their thirty
eight branches throughout the country.
Prosaic Affair.
Nothing could look less imposing or less
like miracle and magic than Mr.. De Forests
outfit. He sat at an ordinary table, ON
which was small, trunklike oaken box
containing machinery and wires connected
with the Flagstaff on top Of the building and
read the messages by sound a. ordinary
telegraph messages are read.

were all sent from the stock yards to La
Sale street, and could not be sent the other
way The reason was that 4 more costly
mast and system Of wires are required for
receiving than for sending. and two were
not considered necessary for the present
experiment.
The tests were made BY different people
sending messages to the stock yards by
telegraph or telephone, and having them
repeated to La Sale street By the wireless
method.
What Armour 4 Co. think Of the nsw
system. and how likely they are to adopt
1t, is known only to themselves
Abraham White. the president Of the
company. will arrive tomorrow from New
York for the purpose Of conducting the
negotiation with Armour q Co. for the
wireless service. not only to the stock yards,
but to Omaha and Kansas City also
Mr.. De Forest goes to Kansas City Tues
lofty smokestacks Of that city can be uti-
lized to great advantage.

the management Of the Worlds Fair to e.
tablish wireless line between st. Louis
and Chicago.
The station from this end will be at
North Evanston. where . tower 200 feet
high win be begun within three weeks
and followed Afterwards By two more.
This st. Louis line will be in operation
by July, and 10 expected to do also a large

gan. such as - already being done on Lake
