CONTROL or WIRELESS SYSTEMS.
Britain and Italy Have Not Accepted In
ternatiOnal CONGRESSES Views.


BERLIN, Sept 2,The prot oco adopted
By the recent congress here in regard to
wireless telegraphy has been signed by
the United States, Germany, Austria,
Spain, France and Russia, but not by Great
Britain or Italy.
The principal provisions are for the con-
strucion of coast stations 50 as to allow
communication with ships at sea regard
less of the particular system carried by
the vessel and for the publication of tech
meal explanations of all systems in order
to facilitate the transmission Of messages.
II is also provided that it shall be the duty
of all wireless systems TO forward reports
OF accidents and requests for assistance
A universal system Of charges is to be
introduced. The services are to be so
regulated that signal stations will disturb
one another as little a. possible
The delegates IRON the United States to
the congress stated that, owing 10 the laws
Of their country, the American Govern
ment would not be able to prevent private
companies from erecting wireless stations
merely because they declined to exchange
kilograms with stations belonging TO an
other system. The delegates. however,
gave a general adherence to the principles
promulgated by the majority OF their fell
low conferees.
The British representatives dissented
from ma Jority Of the conclusions adopted.
They affirmed that no system should be
used unless a cert ainty of connect ions was
guaranteed, The Italian representatives
suppo rted the Englishmen, declaring that
Italy could not repudiate its agreement
with Sgnor Marconi.
They added however. that they would
try to persuade him to modify his views
on the subject in accordance with those of
the ma jority OF the delegates to the con-
vention
The British delegates agreed to submit
the conclusions of the conference to their
Government, but expressed doubt as to the
willingness of the English postal authori-
ties to concede equal rights to all systems,
owing to the legal status Of wireless systems

In the course OF All argument ON an
application made yesterday to just ice
BlaI chard In the Supreme Court to commit
a lawyer, ID. C. Hensen, for contempt OF

Clarence W Dolan, a son of Thomas Dolan,
a rich Philadelphia and a member of
the syndicate which controls the street
car lines of that city, was sued by young
woman named Josephine Martin for breach
of promise of marriage. The action against
young Dolan was to recover S25O,0OO, but
the case has been settled by the payment
Of 81, 800.
David Hirschficld. Oh behalf of Miss
Martin, asked Justice Blanchard to adj
Judge Mr.. Hensen, her former counsel.
guilty of contempt. on the ground that
he had failed TO pay to her 358s.
Mr. Hirschfield told Justice Blan chard
that when Hensen consented to take up
Miss Martins case it was agreed that he
should have 50 per cent. Of the recovery.
When the 81 500 which was paid in settle
ment OF the claim was received by Hensen.
the money, according TO Mr.. Hirschfeld,
was divided into two piles in Hensen's
Office
Mr. Iensen took his pile Of So, 750,'
Mr. Hirschtield explained, but when Miss
Martin sought to put the pile into her purse
she could not stuff all the bills into it and
was compelled to leave $3.50 on the table.
Mr. Hensen suggested that he would take
charge Of the money until she got into the
carriage which was waiting for her She
consented to this, but Hensen never gave
the money to her Subsequently on demand
he paid her $lS2 on account"
Aaron p. Jetmore, counsel for Mr.. Hen
sen, said that while in the first place there
was an understanding bet his client
and Miss Martin that they should share
on a SO per cent basis there was a subse-
uuent agreement by which the woman
con scented TO take 40 per cent. because she
insisted upon bringing other lawyers into
the case.
This woman got more than 40per cent,
said Mr.. Jetmore, "as she was allowed to
take away $1,000, practically 50 per cent,
less costs. This woman at that time exc
cuted full receipt before notary public
and expressed herself as satisfied She
was once willing to settle for $500, but her
lawyers advised her not to do so, and they
did good work for her.

1t is reported from Vienna that the Sultan

warming him that if he does not comply
with them he vii! he killed
The fact that this letter reached the
Sultan, despite the strict watch which ia

the possibility that the insurgents will
be able to carry out their threat

q number of correspondents OF morning

the attention Of Europe to their cause.
The reports which have been current for
the past few days that the city OF Adrian
