WIRELRSS!- CONNECTION
PROPOSED JOINING OF GREAT
NAVAL BASES.
GUANTANAMO Culebra and Key West
by the New System of Communica-
tion-Agreement Concluded.


Rear Admiral Manney. chief of the naval
equipment bureau. today entered into agree
ment with Abra ham White. president Of the
American De- Forrest Wireless Telegraph
Company. for the acquisition by the navy
OF five of the longest wireless telegraph
circuits In the world up to this date, two Of
them being over 1000 miles in length.
The navy has felt keenly the necessity Of
a wireless connection between it's naval
bases at Guantanamo, Culebra and Key
West. realizing that in the event of hostil-
fty with a foreign power the existing cable
system would be the first point Of attack
The necessity OF protecting the canal zone
has enlarged the problem Of finding a Sec
ondary means of communication, and the
general board has learned q lesson from the
isolation of Port Arthur In the present war.
therefore some time ago the equipment
bureau began series of competitive tests,
under the immediate direction of Lieutenant
commander Jayne to find the best system
10 meet this new naval need, and at the
same time one that could be acquired and
operated at reasonable expense.
Today's Agreement.
Inc result was the arrangement today
between Admiral Manney and Mr. White
to sign the contract for the supply to the
government Of wireless Instruments, guar
abteed to maintain reliable service on these
circuits: Key West to Panama 1OOJ
miles: Porto Rico to Key West. 1000 miles:
south Cuban coast to Panama. TO miles
PENSACOLA to Key West. $50 miles; south
Cuba to Porto Rico 600 miles.
The service proposed is exceptional in that
tne wireless currents must not only traverse
the ocean. but leap over considerable is
lands, such as Cuba and Haiti and in the
latter case and perhaps in others, run a
risk OF crossing currents set up by appa-
ratus on islands not a part of the United
States.
The contracting company assumes full
responsibility for the working of the sys-
tenn in such ca ses
On its part the government agrees to
operate In harmony with such stations and
vessels as now use the De Forest system
ana this Is said to extend to Panama
instruments to Be Adjusted.
Their instruments will be attuned to har
monze with those of the company to pre-
vent interference.
Inc navy will have the company's Key
so that they may work INTERCHANGEABLE
with the possibility of their messages being
picked up or stolen or suppressed by ves-
seis or stations equipped with other kinds OF
apparatus.
The enormous value Of wireless telegra-
phy In naval operations, as revealed by
Admiral Togo's last exploit off Port Arthur,
has fastened the Navy Department iowa rd

at the home of Alpheus Berry during
Aohf in which Dewey and ten of his cow

at the home of Alpheus Berry during a
fight in which Dewey and ten of his cow
boys were pitted against all Of the
Berrys. Dewey and his cowboys went to
the Berry ranch to get tank that Dewey
had bought in at a sheriff's sale. The
feud had grown bitter before this time.
and when the Deweys started to take
the tank away the Berry boys RIDE up
and battle took place between the two
factions. The whole country was imme-
diately in an uproar. Dewey and his
cowboys were placed under arrest, and
armed bands of settlers gathered to
wreak summary vengeance on them.
A company of militia 1as sent to as
sist the sheriff in taking his prisoners to
the Jail at st. Francis, and all the way
the soldiers were threatened with attack
from the angry settlers who lowered
about the little army as it marched across
the prairie. For several weeks the Jail
was guarded by the militia, until the ex-
element had died down sufficiently to
make it safe to put the men On trial.
The acqvittal will doubtless cause a
fresh outburst on the part of the set
tiers. and it is doubtful whether Dewey
will ever return to operate his big ranch.

=. Estimate Of sully Losses.
1t was not until late Saturday after
noon that the calculations of the average
price of cotton for the day were COM
pleted. Superintendent King, of the
cotton exchange, announced the settle
ment price reached by taking into con-
psideration all the sales on contracts
made in the two. hours session.
These are the official averages OF
prices upon which the creditors Of D. J.
Sully & Co. will settle: March, 1926;
April, 1886; May, 1883; June, 1856;
July, 1874; August, 1880; September,
1928; October, 11.62; November, 11.63,
and December, 11.54.
[ The greatest interest was felt in the
prices of the Nay and July options, for 1t
was known Sully's holdings we're almost
entirely in those months. The expert
opinion was to the effect the average
price of the Sully holdings was between
Is and 1914 cents q pound. The average
price of those months, as calculated by
the exchange, is 1853 and 1874. The
difference estimated by the expert is
therefore 1% cents pound, or $3.50 a
bale. On an estimated amount of225, 900
bales which Sully is believed to hold
there is loss of about$ 81 zoo, 900, which
will have to be made good In order to
pay creditors in full. T. 49,.
