Enund No Wireless.

Annoy, May 3.--The civil and military authorities here have finished an ex- animation of this vicinity under or ders from Pekin to see if the charge of the Russian Consul at Foochow that the Japanese have a wireless station here to communicate with Formosa Is true. The officials say they have found nothing to show that there is a wire less station in the neighborhood. It Is considered probable, however, that a secret station may have been estab- Iished on an outlying island.

Robert Mnther of Rock Island system Talks Interestingly to the Sem ate Committee on Interstate
 Commerce..

Washington, May 3.-Robert Mather of the Rock Island System again was before the Senate Committee on Inter state Commerce today. Discussing the rivalry of commerce, he said that when the Gulf ports had shipping and trans portation facilities, commerce must flow more and more to those ports. NO changes were necessary in the present law except the restriction of the scope and power of the Interstate Commerce Commission. It had too many duties and not sufficient time to perform US legitimate functions. Courts could de termine reasonable rates, but ne wouiu not go so far as some attorneys ana say that courts could determine req sonable rate and that the law could prescribe that such a rate should De the future rate.
 James J. Hill, President of the Great Northern Railway, followed MT. Mather. He said there was only one safe pasis of which a low rate could be made, ana that we low cost of producing the transportation. The value or the ser vice is determined by the density or the traffic and that make the rates. Rates vary with conditions. In max ing rates on his road, he said they hao to take into consideration what the country produces. The railroad was charged with the prosperity of every man who lived on the road if that man worked. Determinations were neces- sary, declared MT. Hill. When his road was built he went to Washington State and found that its greatest product was lumber. There was a rate or 9o cents per hundred on lumber to the Eastern markets. Lumber dealers said they could ship at 65 cents. He knew they could not do it and he made rate of 40 cents and was shipping large quantities of lumber.
 This was a discrimination against lumber on the eastern end of the road' but in ten years there would De no lumber produced Tn that section. IL was because the cars going out With merchandise brought loads back that these low rates could be made.
 He spoke of the traffic at eastern ports and said business was going to the Gulf, although shipping rates to Europe from Gulf ports Were very much higher. Roads east of Chicago would have to raise their rates to get means to build more extensive termi- nals.
 MT. Hill said that while Congress was legislating for the safety 2ppll- ance for employees it might provide greater safety for the public. He att tributed 90 per cent of the accidents to non- observance of rules.
 Commenting on the statement of MT. Hill that in twenty years there had been a reduction of rates from cents to 76-100 cents per ton mile, Chairman Elkins asked what would happen re- garding rates in the next twenty years.
 Give the roads fair treatment" re- piled Mir. Hill, and in twenty years l think the rate would come down to half a cent a ton per mile"

 Governor Deneen told the Committee that no request for troops had been made upon him. The proper course to pursue the Governor said, was for such a request to come from the sheriff. The Governor did. not indicate what course he would pursue in case re- quest to send troops to Chicago should be made.
 He is, however, watching tho cordi- tions at Chicago very closely and Is be- ing kept advised of the developments in the labor crisis. No representative of the Employers Association has as yet called on the Governor with refer ence to the strike or the possibility of sending troops to Chicago.

Miss Daughdrill's s voice is of rich musical quality and remarkably even and true throughout It's register. Her program was an ad- mirable one and was given in truly artistic manner. The dignity and pathos of her sustained tones in the Haendel aria reflect great credit on the young singer and with absolutely no affectation she expressed superbly the sympathetic air. Tn the Slumber Song register. her. execution was good. enunciation clear and dramatic tenn perament was revealed. Very lyric and full of sympathy and sentiment
 The buoyancy and genuine spirit with which she interpreted "In May Time" struck a responsive chord in the hearts of all and occasioned much enthusiasm. The last group of songs was beautiful, but special mention must be made of Where Blooms the Rose" In this her tones were full and rich and her singing of 1t gave evidence of her truly musical and sympathetic nature. The Weber aria was given with charming precision and was re- ceived with delight by the audience Miss Daughdrill being splendid. broad musician has before her great field of promise.
 She was admirably assisted by Miss Burns, vioIlniste, and Miss Riley, pianoist. Miss Burns's first number was given with pure quality of tone and much feeling. In the. second her technique was splendid, both testifyins to her careful study and artistic abili- ty Miss Riley in The Caprice" show ed a masterly style, strong. firm touch. daintiness and beautiful sense of rythm.
 Miss Williams an accomplished pianoist and accompanies, played the accompaniments with scholarly musi- cianship well deserving the many compliments bestowed.

 "The poor man. I do not see what else he could have done. He got him self into trouble but it was through no fault of mine."
 She began to weep a little when re- minded that she was charged with con- spiracy on the same count to which Spear pleaded guilty. She protested tearfully that she was guilty of no conspiracy and innocent of any wrong doing AS to the effect Spears plea would have on her case, if it came to trial again. she said she was not enough of a lawyer to give an opinion, but she thought it ought not to have any effect whatever.

A fine of s50o was assessed with the alternative of going to the penitentiary for eighteen months.

 This stand has frightened several gamblers who will face trial next week, for 1t is figured to mean that no me will be forthcoming in their cases. In the case of Sims he paid his fine and .nsta.
