In Baton Rouge for the purpose OF select
ing the textbooks TO be used in the pub
lie schools of Louisville for the FIVE years
Cen. Louis Guion. chairman of the his
tory committee OF the United Confederate
Veterans, as well as attorney general OF
the state. appeared before the board and
called attention TO a number Of errors
and misstatements in some of the books
proposed for adoption, especially in the
histories and Biographies, which, he
claimed. were sectional in their character
and placed the southern people in a
wrong light before the world.
The chief objections were as 20 the
statements in regard 20 the introduction
of slavery into their country. Rep
resentatives of the publishers agreed TO
change the statements complained OF
and some OF the publications were ac-
cepted for use in the Louisiana public
schools, a contract under bond being
signed with state superintendent Of edu-
cation, answers TO eliminate the objec-
tionable sentence.
The confederate veteran organization
has so far succeeded in securing every
change IL demanded in the textbooks used

RECORDS MESSAGE ON TAPE
Now Possible to Record the Morse AL
phabet on Paper Tape by Means
of Wireless Telegraphy.

Stephen Dudley Field, nephew of the
Atlantic cable inventor, has just sue
ceeded in recording successfully the
Morse alphabet on paper tape by means
of wireless telegraphy.
The experiment was carried out in the
presence of a few friends of Mr.. Field at
his electrical laboratory in Stockbridge,
England, and was the crowning of two
years hard study.
The feat which has baffled electrical
experts since t~elegraphing without wire
became established commercially was
made possible by Mr.. Fields invention
of what he calls an amplifier: 1t is an
electrically delicate machine of wire
coils and magnets so adjusted as to
record all variations in the electric cur
rent which passes through it.
1t occupies less than half a foot of
space, and Mr.. Field says it is nothing
but a mechanical microscope for cleo
tricity. By e of 1t a land line may
be Joined directly to a wireless one, and
by this means a message might be sent
through ether waves from London
across the ocean to New York and there
turned into a wire and carried without
interruption to San Francisco. In this
way messages may be sent around the
world by one operator without being re-
peated from station to station.

millionaire, the brother of Mrs. Hermann
'Oelrich and Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr.
The question OF the settlement of his
estate depended somewhat upon a de-
cision OF the nice legal point whether
Fair or his wife died first, upon which
queer French testimony IA offered!
Other things being equal, the man IS
supposed to be stronger and toliye longer.
At any rate, the case was compromised
by the payment of a considerable sum
to Bill Smiths mother, a simple old soul,
who hadn't the least use for 1t. Smith
hadn't any lack of uses; most OF all he
was entranced by automobiles. His
first important purchase, after New Mar
ket's thirst was assuaged as never be-
fore, was a big red automobile in which
he tried hard to initiate his sisters fate.
But apparently he who is fated to BIO
b%ankrupted by automobiles is not to be
killed by them. Trading as the Plain
field Auto Carriage company, Smith has
failed for a tidy sum. The odds and
ends and leavings of the Fair money
ara still sufficient to keep all the
