MEN TO BE ENCOURAGED IN
THE ART OF RIFLE
SHOOTING.
Bill Now Before Congress to Author.
fze Federal Assistance in Promoting
the National Marksmen's Reserve
A Second Line of Defense.
[BY H. J. M-AHIN.1
Washington Bureau Of the Courier.
Washinqton, D, c., March 26,

Washington, D. c., March &c.
The boys and young men of Ottum
wa will no doubt be very much inter.
ested to hear that encouragement OF
the formation of rifle clubs throughout
the country to form vast, National
Marksmen's Reserve" is a new and
vitality important development of army
policy.
To General Bird w. Spencer and AL
bert s. Jones, president and secretary
respectively of the National Rifle asso-
citation, President Roosevelt only few
days ago, warmly endorsed this policy
but declared that 1t. was not far-reach-
ing enough. He said that he would
like to see the Swiss system of rifle
clubs introduced In this country. That
would mean rife club at national ex-
pense in every county in the United
States. Tournaments would be held
regularly at stated intervals under the
supervision of the government. The
result sought would be the fostering
of shooting as a sport until every man
capable of bearing arms for his coun-
try would be able to handle rifle with
familiarity and accuracy. To stimulate
this movement without expense to the
civilians inclined bill has been intro.
duced in the senate by Senator Proc
tor, chairman of the senate military af-
fairs committee and in the house by
Representative Dick, chairman of the
committee on militia.
Under the operation of this bill
when 1t is made a law the government
will issue to the proposed clubs maya
zine rifles, such as are used in the reg.
ular army. The clubs will be Obliged
to furnish bonds for the safe keeping
of the arms. They will be supplied
with government ammunition at cost
Assistance will be rendered them in
the way of establishing rifle ranges
and the cost to each member will be
reduced as far as possible to a mini
mum.

Rifle association, who are here advocat

A NEW INVENTION
THE ZERoGRAPH, AN INGENIOUS
MACHINE WHICH SENDS AND
RECEIVES MESSAGES.
An Englishman Invents a New Con-
trivance Which Is Particularly
Adapted to Military Affairs-Tels
of His Machine-How 1t Works.

"A wireless telegraph, or .zerograph,
as 1t is called has been invented by an
Englishman. The zerograph in appear
ance resembles an ordinary typewriter,
but it Is simpler in construction, with
a keyboard figured with the signs of
the letters and numerals, which can be
printed or telegraphed to any number
of instruments. Each instrument, the
inventor explains, is at once receiver
and a transmitter, enabling operators
to converse with one another in writ
ing, and thus obviating Inisunderstand-
ings, which are apt to occur in tele-
phonic communications. So far mes
sages have been sent only for short
distance, but it is intended to expert
ment over wider spaces, and it is hoped
that messages can be sent to any dis
lance that ether waves will carry The
machine is always ready for immediate
use, and as there is no mechanism
which requires to be wound up in or
der to obtain synchronism, the opera
tor has both hands free for manipula-
ton.
The Inventor Talks.
Another advantage claimed for the
invention will be of especial import
ance' in military affairs Messages can
not be picked up. To quote the in
ventor's own words: 'In sending a
message you are sending two ether
waves which allow you a choice of
fifty-six signs, and these are given di-
rect print. either as letters or figures
Absolute secrecy is thus obtained. The
only way to intercept messages would
be to employ a similar instrument
which would have to be synchronied
to the same degree as the transmitting
instrument. Lastly, these machines
will receive their messages, which are
given at present at a speed of twenty
five words a minute, without anybody
being present, and would thus be OF
great advantage in a signal box, as the
signalman will receive clearly printed
instructions should he be present al
the time the message is sent to him
Nor will the machines work only with
out wires. I gave a lecture in Paris
before the Society of Civil Engineers
of which am member, during which
| sent messages to Brussels, while
telephone communication was going
on over the same wires. l have sen!
messages bteween Berlin and Frank
FORT
How it is Done.
The apparatus consists of typewrit
err which, by depressing a key sends
two impulses. Each letter requires
only two impulses and the different
letters are obtained by means of the
time intervals between these impulses
For wireless purposes these impulses
operate a switch connection with the
induction coil, thus making the sparks
for sending the ether waves. The in,
duction coil is connected with an aeri
al as we'll as an earth wire. To turf
the apparatus into a receiving instru
ment it is only necessary to move E
switch which is placed beneath the
typewriter. This makes all the con
nections to the receiving apparatus
which consists of coherer and {
very sensitive relay.

Des Moines Bureau of the Courier.
Des Moines, March 26.
Former Auditor Frank Merriam de
clares that he never did it. He says
that he did not collect $4,000 from in
surance companies for bogus examina
tions, as charged by the governor. He
says that if any such money was col
lected from these concerns it was col
lected by Max Beehler and not by him
He charged but the statutory fee. This
is $25 for the examination of com
pany. He only examined them with
reference to whether or not they had
paid their taxes in Iowa. He did moi
attempt to examine them as to theil
solvency.
Mr.. Merriam admitted to the com
mittee that it was the custom of the
examiners to charge each company in.
spected with full railroad fare from
Des Moines to the city of their location
as part of the expenses. If two OF
three or four were examined in the
same city, each would be charged with
the railroad fare both ways. This Mr.
Merriam defended as following pre-
cedent which has been maintained by
the law officers of the state.
Mr.. Merriam's nerve in returning fol-
this examination is the admiration Of
