BROKE RECORD
FOR WIRELESS

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17-All
Pacific Coast records for long distance
wireless telegraphing were broken yes
terday when the local Marconi wireless
station received a message from 315
miles at sea. The communication came
from the Government transport Solace,
which left this port Monday, and was
received over the magnetic detector.
There is a difference between the de-
tector and the register. Ordinarily
messages are taken upon the register
This machine has a paper tape at
tachment, and the dots and dashes
are marked on this tape by the action
of the mechanism. Then the code is
translated. When Operator d. j.
O'Brien started to receive the Solace
conversation yesterday afternoon with
the aid of the tape there was some
confusion. so he took it over the in
dicator.
The indicator is an instrument to
which an attachment is connected sim
liar to telephone receiver. When
this is placed to the ear faint little
taps are heard. The short taps are
dots and the long ones dashes. When
arranged in order these dots and DASH
es tell "a story This is what they said
to the operator yesterday coming
through space for a distance of over
800 miles:
''On board the Solace. D. M, 315
miles out from San Francisco.-Very
foggy weather, with a smooth sea.
There is a light wind We are running
ten. knots an hour. Just spoke to the
Boston. She will arrive in San Fran
cisco from Honolulu tonight or early
tomorrow morning"
Mr.. O'Brien says that the message
was very distinct. Occasionally dash
was not up to standard length. for even
the most healthy and well hammered
dash cannot travel hundreds of miles
through the air without wearing its
ends off more Or less. As it is much
easier to telegraph at night than dur
ing the day it is believed that this
record vii be broken before long. The
next best record made at the local sta
ton was when conversation was held
with the Boston at a distance of 22O
miles down the coast some six weeks
ago.

TERRITORY DEMURS.
NJ. F. Prosser for the Territory of
Hawaii has filed a demurrer to the
claim of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS En-
gineering & Construction Co., Ltd. The
complaint does not show that the labor
and materials were furnished and sup
piled on the written request of the
Superintendent of Public Works, nor
that such written authority was waiv-
ed. 1t does not appear that the claim
of $500 is due and owing to the petit
toner from the respondent, nor that
the s204oS0 claimed is upon contract
in form as prescribed by law. No
where does it appear whether the in
debtedness was contracted by the
Superintendent of Public Works as
whole. or if it was divided up into
several claims each for a sum less than
$500. Neither does it appear from the
amended petition that the Superinten-
dent of Public Works had legal right
to incur the Indebtedness of $2040.8 80
set forth.
The Territory of Hawaii by M. F.
Prosser, Deputy Attorney General, has
demurred to the complaint of Frank
Lucweiko and wife. 1t is claimed that
the contract on which the cause of ac-
ton is based was not executed by an
official of the Territory having the
power and authority to execute it; that
the Governor of the Territory, who is
alleged to have made the contract. is
not authorized by any law of Hawaii
to make such a contract, and that it
does not appear that the contract was
ever made by the Territory. The suit
is for $500 damages on contract to
remove buildings from land taken for
street purposes, alleged to have been
made by Sanford B. Dole as Governor
of the Territory in his term of office.
NEW TRIAL DENIED.
Judge Lindsay denied plaintiffs mo-
ton for a new trial in the case of
James Kaiona VS.. Kaaua. The motion
was based on an affidavit of t.. r.
Mossman J. H. Thompson and A.
Winterstein, three of the jury that
tried the case, to the effect that they
did not understand that the "Mahiai'
land was embraced in the suit. nor in
tended that such land should be award
ed to the defendant under the verdict.
C. F. Peterson for plaintiff has filed an
exception to the refusal of a new trial.

over Eight Hundred Delegates Pres-
ent Mt National Convention Being
Held in PennsyIvania.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. s.-Over 800
delegates to the National convention Of
Catholics Total Abstenance Union of
America assembled at st. Mary's church
today to attend potihclal high mass, cele-
brated by Bishop Hoban of the Scranton
diocese. Immediately following the SER
vice the committee on credentials, compris-
ing Messrs. Nolan of Philadelphia, Nc
Steen Of Pittsburg, Gibbons of Chicago,
o Brien of st. Louis and Burke of Scranton
passed upon the credentials of the delegates
and they then assembled in the Ninth regi-
ment armory. where the convention was
formally opened.
Bishop Canevin of Pittsburg, the national
president, presided, and Mayor Kirkendall
of this city welcomed the delegates and
assured them that they would find, owing
to the efforts of Father ]. ]. Curran and
other temperance workers, more temperance
men in this city than in any other city OF
it's size In the country. Bishop Canevin re-
sponded and spoke particularly of the inn
portance OF the present convention owing
to the coming of President Roosevelt and
Cardinal Gibbons. The convention spent
the morning tralsacting routine business
Chancellor Turner of Philadelphia, will
read brief from the pope on temperance,
sent especially for the occasion at the solicit
tation of Archbishop Ryan, who is now in
Europe, and the only brief OF it's kind ever
sent to this country by the pope.
The afternoon session was made notable
by the presence of Cardinal Gibbons, who,
next to President Roosevelt is the most
distinguished guest of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union for tomorrOw's celebra-
ton. The cardinal delivered a short ad-
dress to the delegates, complimenting them
upon the organization with which they
were connected, remarking also, that he
had been on the railroad all day and was
no longer a young man-that he had passed
his seventy-first milestone, "and when you
pass that milestone you are quite apt to
| get weary
Soon after Cardinal Gibbons arrived there
was dispatched from the convention hall
the following cablegram:
To His Holiness, Plus X, Rome, Italy!
| Most Holy Father: The Catholic Total
| Abstinence Union of America, already
blessed by Lee Kill and numbering more
| than 5000 members, being assembled In
| convention In the city of Wilkesbarre, do
| cese of Scranton, and honored by the
/ presence of his eminence, Cardinal Glib
| bons and President Roosevelt, return
| thanks to your holiness for your blessing
| just received and extend its best wishes.
This cablegram was in reply to one re-
ceived from his holiness, Plus X, the con-
tents of which will not be made public
until tomorrow.
