Kite Catches Wireless.

Experiments were conducted at Dr. Gra-
ham BeHs kite station In Virginia Wednes-
day with view of determining whether
kites may be used In place OF masts for
wireless telegraph stations where the con-
ditions make the use of masts impracticable
The experiments were made through an ar
rangement between DR.. Bell and the De
Forest Wireless Telegraph Company, and
according to the officials of the latter con-
cern were success.
In the course OF the experiments messages
were sent from Washington and received
through kite flying at height of 500 feet
A wire was suspended from the kite and in
one experiment the messages were received
through the human body. One man held
the wire and the message passed through
him and through still another man who held
the receiver
The kite caught a message that was being
sent from the steamship Bermudian OF NE
Quebec Steamship Company. lying at her
pier at Christopher street, New York. to the
De Forest company Offices at AZ Broadway,
and another message being sent from the
station at Galilee. N. J.. to a ship at sea

NO CHANCELLOR CRISIS.
Won Buelow Ridicules Rumor-Makes
Recommendation.

BERLIN. March 29-Chancellor Won Bue-
low during a speech in the rechstag today
on the necessity for separating the colonial
from the foreign policy by creating a secre-
taryship of the colonies said: THE rumors
of chancellor crisis of which you have
heard, are just foolish as those imputing
personal motives to the parties in this
house"
The chancellor alluded to the report that
the members of the center party were OPP
posed to Prince Ernest acknowledgements
burg as colonial director because he is re-
garded as being hostile to Catholics.
The late foreign secretary, Baron Won
Richthofen, continued the chancellor, broke
down as the result of the excessive work
of the foreign office and colonial office. The
late secretary before his death said that
colonial affairs were nail in his coffin.
The North German Gazette tonight au-
thoritatiyely denies that the chancellor will
retire and expresses the hope that all sert-
Gus newspaper, will not heed the inaccurate
statement made on the subject.

Japanese Grateful for American Aid.

To the Editor of The Star:
For the benefit of the Japanese famine
fund many Japanese organizations In the
United States are receiving contributions
from Japanese inhabitants. They report
to us that American ladies and gentlemen
are daily sending to them their contribu-
lonesome $50, some $100-even concealing
their names and addresses for such large
contributions.
The Japanese Say-as they cannot help
but say-that the Americans are a mys-
terious people, mysterious because they are
so earnest and enthusiastic in helping the
Japanese whenever the latter seems fatally
situated, mysterious because the Japanese
are affected by American mercy and benev-
olence from the time of the historical event
of Kurihama to that of Portsmouth
We are requested by the Japanese or
CARNATIONS, including the Association of
Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate procedures
Ohe latter three named procedures being
the center of famine) to express, IL we
could, -millionth of Japanese appreca-
ton and heartfelt thankfuIness for the
American mercy and beneVolence which
ever have been and ever Will be manifested
since the untimely happening of human
calamity.
we, keeping such request in view. will
soon hold a Japanese entertainment
The Japanese students and other residents

MAY SERVE HIS TERM
JOHN E. MATTERN FAILS TO OBJ
TAIN A PARDON.

The Department of Justice has refused
to recommend pardon in the case of John
r. Mattern. the 7th street cigar store deal
er. who was recently convicted In the Po-
lice Court of making handbooks on the
races and was sentenced to three months
imprisonment IN Jail and to pay fine OF
800 Only one possible way remains for
Mr.. Mattern to escape that sentence, and
that is a direct appeal to the President of
the United States. 1t is understood steps
in that direction are being taken.
After the refusal Of the Court of Appeals
to grant new trial for Mr.. Mattern, and
It's order affirming the sentence of the Po-
Hce Court. efforts were at once started to
secure a pardon for Mr.. Mattern SO far as
the Imprisonment Is concerned, as stated In
The Star at the time. Those efforts were
continued for some time. But recent in
curry at the Department of Justice deyeI-
oped the fact that they had rendered an ad-
verse decision. and that unless the President
interferes the incident Is closed and the SEN
tence must be carried out.
Attorney General Moody stated that both
the judge of the Police Court and the dis
trict attorney refused to recommend a par
don and that In such cases 1t is the rule to
reruse the pardon and not to refer the mat
ter to the President. It was thought Mr..
Mattcrn would, after that announcement,
begin the serving of the sentence imposed
by Judge Kinball. but his friends have
" 4AoPo AZ Gil dppe1A 10 the FFeSlOeuI,
and 1t Is possible that It will be made to
him at once
When asked in regard to the matter, AS
sisoant District Attorney Ralph Given, who
prosecuted the case, stated that, while he
understood the pardon has been refused by
the Department OF Justice, he Is waiting for
omciai notification from the department
through the district attorney. AS soon as
that Is received Mr. Mattern will be asked
TO begin the serving Of the sentence
MIR. Mattern is out on bond for $500 which
he gave for his appearance in court when
required.

The Overland Mail.

From the Outing Magazine
The men who planned and backed the
Overland Route were big and brave. but
they could have done nothing without
lirtle army of agents and drivers every
whit as big and brave in their humber
spheres of action. And it was action, white
hot and picturesque. such as you may find
TODAY only on the firing line of an army.
There was an agent in charge OF each
division of two hundred and fifty miles OF
road with all its stations and equipments.
He bought and distributed rations, fodder
mules harness, and kept the buildings
In repair He fed his passengers and fought
lump and his mule teams fit and ready
His stations were forts well, In which
he must stand off the Indian raids that
lent zest to a trip in the Overland Coach
There was no summoning a wrecking crew
by wire when a coach toppled off a noun
tain road The agent was king of his ter
ritory and his responsibilities demanded
that order of ability which made the Amer
lean pioneers race of giants
The stage driver took his chances and
counted himself lucky If his skin would
hold whisky, without leaky and annoying
bullet holes, at the end of his run. The
trail, and one of his chief concerns was 10

who learned his trade in the far west, and
who may be called an heir to the skin OF the
men on the boxes of the overland
