the agreement, Matt Byrnes, the wen
known trainer, viii have charge Of the
large number of horses owned by the
wealthy Hungarian, Eugene Borows,
for two years. Byrnes, it is said, will
receive $4,000 a year as a salary, with

money won.
Mr.. Borows, at his trainers sugges-
ton, viii build a stable and private
training track on ground recently Sc
cured midway between Vienna and
Budapest. In order that everything
may be complete from his trainers
point of view. Mr.. BOrOws has pur-
chased a complete outfit of American

Captain Pipers declaration is the
most sensational statement yet made
by a public official in connection with the
anti-gambling- crusade.
We have thrown a strong light on
the gambling combine said the deputy
commissioner. I'VE know now that
such a combination exists, and have
the best of authority for saying that
the combination is not only bringing
every possible influence to bear to pro-
tect Garfield and Farrell. but. if neces-
sary, 81, 900. 600 will be spent in opposing
District Attorney Jerome's efforts to
suppress gambling.

early if they want to beat Mr.. Jerome.
They are moving heaven and earth to
beat the case we have against them,
and especially to beat Jerome But they
don't make a move without our knowl-
edge. Mr.. Jerome knows just where we
stand, and viii make no mistakes. The
public may rest assured that the law

AT ONE CENT A WORD.
Marconi Says Wireless Communica-
ton Will Eventually Be Cheap.

Glace Bay. Cape Breton, Jan. s.
Two hundred words a minute at
wireless biography, instead of the
mails for very large proportion of the
personal correspondence that now
passes between America and Europe,
are developments that 1 see in the near
future" said Signor Gumllelmo Mar
conf to a reporter this morning. I
shall leave Table Head in a few days
for Cape Cod, where I shall put into
operation at once the first transoceanlc
wireless station in the United States
There is nothing rash in that predic-
ton, for having solved the problem
here, the succession of the Cape Cod
station means only the application OF
the same methods, and l expect WITHIN
two weeks, or possibly a little longer
to have it in perfect working order.
There is ECO, 100000 of English cap
itaI invested i'll cable stocks 1t IS no
wonder, perhaps, that the English
newspapers reflect the fear of the hold
ers of this vast amount of property.
Really, I think there is nothing to
fear, for increased facilities always
leads to increased business, and the
success of wireless telegraphy simply
means that more people will commun1-
cate across the ocean than do now and
the cables Will get their share of the
increased business, although they have
a much larger investment to pay in
terest upon and can not afford to take
business as cheaply as we can do
How cheaply do you expect to be
likely to send messages across the
ocean %
II spoke of cent a word a few days
ago. replied Marconi, smiling. That
seems to have worried some of the bus
mess interests connected with the wire
less telegraph companies.
There was a twinkle in his eye as ne
mentioned the conservative capitalists
Il believe it will come, however. I
know it will come. OF course. we shall
not make any such rate as that at
present We are under contract with
the Canadian government to charge not
more than 10 cents a word, and that
probably will be our minimum for some
time. but with increased business and
increased facilities we shall some day
in the not far distant future be send
ing messages across the ocean at a
cent a word
