WIRELESS SYSTEMS
 REACH AGREEMENT
Result of the Conference Held
 in Berlin Made Public
GAN SHOW PREFERENCE
All Stations Must Accept Messages Intended for Vessels at Sea No Matter What System Is
 Used on Vessels.

Washington, September 3.-The final protocol of the international wireless tele- graph conference held in Berlin last month was made public today at the state department. General Greedy was chairman of the American commission. This commission had no authority to make any agreement for the United States, but the protocol embodies in most of the essential features, the views ex- pressed by the American commissioners. Another conference will be held and if all delegates have full powers the pro- tocoI no doubt will be embodied in treaty for the government of interna- tional wireless telegraph communication. The following is the text of the protocol: Article I-The exchange of correspond ence between vessels at sea and wireless coast stations open to the general tele- graphic service is subject to the follow ing conditions:
 1. Any fixed station whose field for action extends to the sea is styled a coast station.
 Bound to Receive Them.
 g. Coast stations are bound to receive and transmit telesrams originating from or intended for vessels at sea without any distinction of wireless telegraph sys- tems used by the latter.
 8. The contracting parties shall publish any technical information likely to facil- itate or expedite communications between coast stations and ships at sea. How ever, each one of the contracting gov ernments may authorize stations estao- lished on its territory under such condi- tions as 1t may see fit to make use or several installations or special arrange ments. 4. The contracting parties state and declare they adopt for fixing or tarlns applicable to telegraphc traffic exchange between vessels at sea and the interna- tionaI telegraph system the following basis:
 Fixed By Number of Words.
 The total tax to collect for such traffic is fixed by the words it includes ta) the tax pertaining to the traffic or the line or telegraphic system, the amount of which is that fixed by the international tele- graphic regulations now In existence, ap- pended to the St. Petersburg convention; (b) the tax pertaining to the maritime course. The latter Is, as the first one, fixed according to the number of words and such number of words being reckoned in accordance with the international tele- graphic regulations mentioned in para graph "a". Each one of these taxes is to be fixed on the basis of an equitable remunera- ton for the telegraphic work.
 Article II. Regulations which will be annexed to the convention that is to be perfected will establish the rules applica- ble to the exchange of communication be- tween the posts and on board the vessels. The provisions of these regulations may be at any time modified by common un- derstanding between the contracting states.
 Article III. The provisions of tee- graphic convention of St. Petersburg are applicable to the transmission of wireless telegraph in so far as they don't conflict with those of the future conventions.

SUES kEcHI TOWNSHIP.
!. D. Fisher Alleges Negligence Was
Cause of His Injuries.

L. D. Fisher yesterday filed petition
in the district court asking for sl2. o0(
damages from Kechi township. Mr..
Fisher alleges that the township trustees
had a ditch constructed along the north
side of a road two miles north of the
packing house. The ditch is eight or ton
feet deep and was built to carry off the
waste water from what is known as the
central branch of Chisholm creek.
1t was during the cattlemen's conven-
ton year ago, the exact date, accord
ing to the petition is February Is, the
day of the big roping contest east of the
packing house. Mr.. Fisher says that he
was coming to this city on that day and
was, driving reasonably tractable horse,
and when on the road alongside of this
Itcn dog ran out and frightened his
horse. The animal turned short around
and in doing so threw the buggy and
occupants into the ditch. Mr.. Fishers
right leg and hip were broken in the
fall and he was severely bruised. He al
leges that the accident will make him a
cripple for life.
He asks that the township pay him
sll.o00 for the injuries and suffering and
his disability, for he alleges that people
driving along the highway were not pro-
tected by barriers and that the q
was poorly constructed and but for the
negligence of the trustees he would no,
have been injured.

encouragement the city would extend to
him.
He states that he is in a position to
capitalize company ct $4,000 and would
manufacture stoves and ranges.
The contents Of the letter were placed
before the club and the matter was dis
cussed, but no action was taken. Mr.
Reesing will answer the letter. giving
the writer full information regarding the
situation here.
such factory as Mr.. Todd wishes to
establish would certainly prove a paying
institution for the owners, and would I'M
doubtedly be great benefit to Wichita.
This city has over a dozen wholesale
houses by which nearly every line is rep
resented. 1t has eight banks, with 4
surplus of something like three million
dollars, and is surrounded by one of the
most fertile agricultural districts in the
United States. Every business is eX-
periencing the greatest possible pros
perity. The city is surrounded by pop
ulation Of over six hundred thousand
people within a radius of one hundred
miles, with a railroad mileage inside the
radius over four thousand miles Lines
run in every direction from Wichita
which afford the city the best of distribut-
ing facilities. Freight rates are fair, COM
pared with other western cities, and in
fact the club considers Wichita would
support and needs such factory as the
one proposed by Mr.. Todd. In coming to
this city the concern would have no old
established firms to compete with and
would have comparatively clear field.
A traffic bureau of directors was elected
of the following members: w. r. Du-
laney, G.. f. Lehman, C. H Smyth. ].

FOUND BABY IN RIVER.
Two Men Made Grewsome Find in
Riverside Park Yesterday.

w. NJ Petrie, a laborer, while going
along the drive in Riverside park about
, o'clock yesterday morning saw a pack
age in the river that excited his suspi-
scion. The longer he looked at it the
more certain he became that it was
child. He waited few moments until
w. b. Nixon came up and together they
pulled the package out of the river and
1t was found to be the body of a baby.
1t was found about 200 yards east of the
Greiffenstein bridge and was about four
feet from the edge of the water. The
-dy was in old clothes sewed and pin
ned together and the bundle was weight
ed down with a rock.
Coroner McCollister was called and in
vestigated the matter. DR.. Clark, county
physician was also called and he pro-
nounced the child to be of premature
birth and had lived a short time after
birth.
The police were notified and detectives
have been put to work

Total deposits ......-.... si,4s4. Os2 4

7 The total deposits of these same banks
on November % last was 1929, 566.10
showing a gain of S23l 1865.
The banks all report that business is
resuming its normal activity since the
financial scare that prevailed in New
York in December and the first half of
January has passed away. If southern
Kansas should harvest a good wheat
crop this year the MONEY! will accumulate
still more. The prosperity of every COM
munity is always shown in its banks and
every good crop but adds to the accu-
mutation of cash in Kansas. This section
has passed the point where it has to de-
pend on the east for money.
Wichita is coming to be regarded as
the money, as well the commercial,
center of the southwest and the reserve
center for southwestern Kansas and Ok
lanoma. The banks are finding out that
the Wichita banks can handle eastern
business just as well as Kansas City,
and this place is nearer and more con-
yenient than the city on the Missouri
river, and the result is that Wichita is
growing in favor with Oklahoma.
