a RIVAL OF MARcoNl.

Peter c. Hewitt's Device Hailed as
Solving a wireless Problem,
In the current issue Of the Electrical
Review is described an important in
vention in wireless telegraphy by Peter
Cooper Hewitt Of New York city. This
device, which is development of the
Cooper Hewitt mercury yapor lamp,
takes the place of the usual spark gap
for discharging in the antenna or send
ing mast. It.consists of glass globe,
eight to ten inches in diameter, with
two mercury electrodes contained in
tubes sealed in the lower part Of the
globe. The device is said to be very
effective and, by this authority, will
enable much more powerful electrical
wave to be set up than Is possible with
the methods at present in use and will
also make secrecy In transmission
easily possible.
Dr. Pupin, professor Of electro me-
chanics at Columbia university and
widely known from his inventions in
long distance telephone transmission,

indianapolis, Feb 26.-Albert "a.
Knapp of Hamilton, O., formerly Of

the home OF his bride, formerly Anna

to Hamilton on the charge Of murder
The police say that Anna sIaye6 6ssaldfs
BILE Is his last and surviving wife.
Knapp was taken away in irons.
Knapp, although only forty-one
years old, has had four wives. Mrs.
Knapp No. became the wife Of the
prisoner about two weeks ago.
The other wives of Knapp were
Emma Stubbs, Jennie Connors and
Hannah Goddard. The Hamilton po-
lice do not know what has become
Eof Emma Stubbs, the first wife, or
Hannah Goddard, Mrs. Knapp No. 3.
An uncle of Hannah Goddard reported
to the Hamilton police that his niece
had disappeared Dec. az, 1902, and
that Knapp had married an Indianap-
oils girl.
An investigation began and it was
learned that Mrs. Knapp was last
seen Dec. 81. The following day the
husband got horse and wagon at a
livery stable and was seen to load
large box in the wagon and carry it
away. # Sss$ "a
Further inquiry was made, followed
by an examination Of the records, and
1t was found that q few years ago the
dead body Of Jennie Connors, who was
Mrs. Knapp No. 2, had been found in

mend, the Irish Leader, Argues for
the Proposed cempromiso.

t.
London, Feb. 2e.-The irish leader.
John Redmond, in the house a COM
mons, moved, an amendment to the ad
dress in reply to the speech frcm the
throne on the subject of the Irish land
question. Mr.. Redmond's speech was
most conciliatory. I# "
He said the amendment was not in
tended as a hostile demonstration
against the government, but as "a
friendly warning" to the ministers
that he and IFS friends believed the
government was engaged in framing
a great measure Of justice and ap-
peasement for Ireland, which, in the
words of the kings speech, would
complete the abolition of the dual
ownership of land" All he (Mr. Red.
mond) wanted was an assurance from
the chief secretary for Ireland, Mr..
Wyndham, that the government was
engaged in an honest attempt to solve
the problem on the lines suggested by
the report Of the recent land confer
ence, which, the speaker added, Of
fered an unexampled opportunity to
end the agrarian troubles and con-
aicts between classes in Ireland .saa, 2
Mr.. Redmond pointed out that the
compromise proposed in the confer
ence report was impossible without
state aid and warned the government
that If there was any attempt by the
Juggling of figures to make the
Tenant Bear the Whole Burden
Of the transfer of land it would be
vigorously opposed and the whole
scheme would be ruined. The state,
Mr.. Redmond asserted, must supply
the difference between the amount the
tenant could afford to pay and that
which the landlord could afford to
take.
Mr.. Wyndham, in replying, declined
to commit himself to any wholesale
official approval of the land confer
ence report, which, he said, avoided
or skirted many considerations which
must be taken into account. The
value OF the work OF the conference.
however, could hardly be overesti-
mated. It showed that large major
ity of the landlords and tenants de-
sired and were ready to make conces-
sions.- The secretary concluded with
expressing the hope that the spirit of
good sense and good will animating
the report would be emulated by the
house in it's consideration Of the
forthcoming measure, which would
make it possible for Ireland to lay
the social foundations upon which
was alone possible to rear the fabric
Of healthy, national life. e.s
Mr.. Redmond eventually withdrew
his amendment.
