Fulton, Mo, Feb. 6.-The jury ia

RUSSIA PLANT
IS DISCUSSED
Cabinet Considers Question
of Wireless Message as Ap-
piled in the Eastern War
No DECISION REACHED
Statesmen Agree That I'm
portant Issue Is Raised
in Use of New Telegraphy

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The most
important matter considered at the
Cabinet meeting to-day was that look
ing to the control by the Gov
ernment of wireless telegraphy. The
subject was broached by Secretary
Hay in connection with the COM
munication received recently by this
Government from Russia. The dis
cussion finally drifted to the ex-
preston of the opinion that 1T would
be desirable, if not, indeed. absolutely
necessary for this Government to con-
troll, at least in a supervisory way, the
operation of wireless telegraphy, par
ticularly along the coast. Stations for
the receipt of wireless messages are
springing up at various places along
both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
1t was pointed out that, in the event
of a war with a foreign nation. it
might be necessary in defense of the
nation for officers of the United States
to have charge of these stations, as
means of assurance to the Government
that no communication was esta bliShed
with vessels of an enemy's fleet and
that the system was not employed to
the detriment of United States inter-
ests.
Thus far wireless telegraphy has not
figured in international affairs and no
conventions covering it's use have been
considered. 1t is believed that, sooner
or later, the subject will be taken up
by diplomatists with a view to report
ing an international agreement upon it.
The discussion to-day 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 will provide for a proper
Government supervision of the wire
less system of telegraphy.
