A Chicago Woman Makes Sue
ceSsfnl Test
Of Her Sons Invention for Send
ing Messages.
SAT IN HER HOUSE
And Communicated With Her
Son on Lake Steamer.
No Pole at Either End of the
Line.

Chicago, July 31.-A new system of
wireless telegraphy has just been put
to successful long-distance test on
Lake Michigan
While Mrs. Emily Piggott, mother of
the youthful inventor OF this new sys-
tenn, licked prearranged messages from
her home in Garfield avenue, Chicago
the son, G. S. Piggott, stood with his
father, S. Piggott, on the main deck of
the whaleback Christopher Columbus
and received the messages licked out
by his mothers hand.
In this new system. which the Pig
gotts hope to make commercially prac-
ticable, there is no pole at either the
receiving or the sending station. and
although in yesterdays tests the re-
ceiver was exposed on the deck of the
vessel, the transmitter was i'll the room
of house. An intensifier makes the
poles unnecessary.
To prevent the interference of foreign
currents each instrument is timed" to
respond only to a current of a certain
rapidity of alienation.

y Chicago, July 31.-On the verge of
death from starvation, Emma Neisler,
IA years old, has been found, after figur-

year-old sister. Meantime the whole po-
lice force of Chicago was searching for

become nearly crazed by thirst, and had

with a hairpin, and cut off the water
supply in the house.
When the plumber called to discover
the leakage he found the girl lying un-
der the house, pale and weak from her
Imprisonment and lack of sufficient

Back of the girls mysterious disap-
pearance lies a story of her arrest on a
charge of disorderly conduct, which, it
is said, was followed by a severe whip
ping administered by her father, August
Nsisler. Fear of further punishment
caused the girl to flee, although the
mother and father were grieving over

Three life guards rushed into the
