TO TEST THE OHIO.
Final Speed Test to Be Given the New
Battleship.

san Francisco, Jan. 2S.-The hat
tie ship Ohio, Captain Logan, sailed
TINS week for a two weeks cruise
along the coast. 1, will be the final
test of this fine battleship at sea be-
fore she is wholly acceptable to the
government.
while the Ohio has been taken over
by the government and is fully man
ned and ready for any emergency no
trial Of the big fighting ship has
taken place since she was really in
condition for service. The present
cruise is expected to prove her eff
cheney.
An interesting feature of the Ohio's
present cruise was the transmission
OF messages by wireless ,telegraphy.
From the Ohio, over 100 miles out
In the ocean, Marconigrams were sent
that were received in the heart of
San Francisco. 1t was the most sue
cessful test Of wireless telegraphy
ever made on the Pacific coast, and
one Of the most unique tests ever
made anywhere.
For nearly 10 hours, while the Ohio
cruised at sea, the ether above the
skyscrapers vibrated with messages
that came on the wings of the wind,
or against 1t, IL that element hap
pened not to be stirring in the right
direction.
The Ohio began talking to the
wireless station on Goat island when
1t got a few miles beyond the light
ship, about $50 o'clock in the morn
ing. At 11:40 o'clock the Ohio and
Goat island talked to each other. the
battleship being then 20 miles out
from the lightship. south. At 1:25 in
the afternoon the Ohio asked the
time. Goat island responded. accord
ing to the message received in this
city. that It was 1;25 o'clock. At
$50 the Ohio sent a distance signal
indicating that she was about 144
miles out from Golden Gate. At 3:l2
she sent a message saying that her
batteries were getting low.

CHARGE WAS FALSE.
No Foundation for Case Against Pris-
on Superintendent James.

Vh uaAlALSs
Salem, Ore, Jan. 2S.-Long ex-
,ploded charges made against Super
intendent James of the state peniten-
tiary by L. Mcmahon, an attorney of
Salem, have bobbed up agan.
The substance of the accusations is
that the superintendent has used a
part of the penitentiary betterment
fund for purchasing furniture and
other articles for the quarters occu-
pied by himself and the warden at the
penitentiary.
For more than a year Mcmahon
has been nursing a grudge against
Superintendent James, because the
latter discharged guard named
Fouts, who had been guilty of gross
infraction Of the prison rules. Fouts
is relative of Mcmahon and the
latter swore vengeance. He COM
menced suit year ago in the circuit
court of this district against the su-
perintendent, but was thrown out OF
court.
He then tried to get the grand jury
to indict the two officials but failed.
Still thirsting for revenge Mcmahon
recently commenced another civil
suit, and 1t is still pending.
1t is said TO have been brought
solely for the purpose of melting the
legislature to take up the charges,
McMahon has persistently besieged
the newspapers for year past, urg-
ing them to publish statements of
the alleged wrongdoing by the prison
officials.
