DANGER OF TREACHERY
Cabinet Considering the QueS-
ton of Control of Wire
less Telegraphy.

Washington, April 19.-The most inn
portant matter considered at the cabi-
net meeting today was that looking
20 control by the government of the
wireless telegraphy. The discussion
finally drifted to the expression Of the
opinion that it would be desirable, #
not. indeed, absolutely necessary for
This government TO control. at least in
a supervisory way, the operation Of
wireless telegraphy, particularly along
the coast. stations for the receipt Of
wireless messages are springing up at
various places along both the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts II was pointed out
that In the event Of a war with for
eign nation IL might be necessary in
defense of the nation for officers Of the
United States TO have charge of these
stations. as a means Of assurance to
the government-that no communication
was established with vessels of an
enemys fleet and that the system was
not employed 20 the detriment OF
United States interests.
Thus far wireless telegraphy has not
figured in international affairs and no
conventions covering its use have been
considered. It is believed that, sooner
or later. the subject viii be staken up
by diplomarists with a view TO reach
ing an international opinion upon it.
The discussion today was tentative IN a
measure and no definite decision was
reached 1t is likely. however. that IN
the near future some action will be
taken that viii provide for a proper
government supervision Of the wire
less system Of telegraphy.
