= NEW YORK, Jan 1S.-A contract has
been signed with the White Star Line for
the equipment of all it's vessels with
Marjoni wireless telegraph apparatus.
The first vessel installed is the

system the entire fleet of important
transatlantic steamships carrying pas
sengers between Europe and this conti-

way out TO sea.
The messages were received up to 144
miles. 1t was the most successful test
of wireless telegraphy ever made on the
Pacific Coast and one of the most unique
tests eyer made anywhere. Never before
have Marconigrams been received from
such a distance in the heart of a big
city. Dots and dashes flew all day long
over the skyscrapers and oyer the hills
of San Francisco. At 10:40 a. m the
Ohio" announced that she was 20 miles
south of the hghtship, 27 miles out of
the harbor. The. distance at $50 D. m
was 144 miles, when a message came
saying the power was getting low Nu-
