COAST To HAVE

ERAL NEW STATIONS
Work of Extending Service Now in
Progress at Table Bluff, Cape
BIsnoo, North Head and
Cape FIattery
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press. ......
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Soon the
United States navy will have the Pa
cific coast equipped with wireless sta
tions as the Atlantic coast Is now
equipped, so that messages may be re-
ceived at some stations either day or
night. Wireless stations have been
completed and equipped at San Diego,
Arquella, Faralona and Mare Island.
Faralona is just outside of San Fran
cisco harbor and the station was To-
Gated there in order to have the COM
munication over sea as much as pos
sible from one station to the other.
Stations are now being constructed at
Table Bluff. Cape Blanco, North Head
and Cape Flattery.
The stations are from 100 to 210 miles
apart, and when they are all erected
and the apparatus installed 1t will be
possible to communicate the whole
length of the Pacific coast either in the
day or night.
1t has been found that, owing to the
electric conditions, the wireless is less
efficient in the day than in the night,
and stations necessarily must be nearer
together in order to secure efficiency
at all times.
Any ship sailing along the Pacific
coast and equipped with wireless ap-
paratus will be able to communicate
with the land at all times from the
northern to the southern boundary of
the country.

CHIMNEY CIGARETTE SMOKER
Policeman Thinks 1t Is DissoIute Until

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 1S.--Stowed away
in the chimney of an East Side tene-
ment, Samuel GoldStein, an alleged an
ateur pickpocket kept the police of the
Eldridge street station hunting for him
for an hour yesterday before they got,
on his trail. He had fixed bricks down
in the chimney so that he could get a
fCothold, and that vas his hiding place.
To throw the police "off the scene"
he puffed vigorously on cigarette aud
the smoke poured out of the chimney
quite naturally. # it had not been for
Policeman Ditmar's olfactory organs
the fugitive would doubtless have made,
his escape. 1t was the scent that be-
trayed Goldstein.
Now, 1 wonder low it happens that
that chimney is giving out cigarette.
smoke" mused Ditmar, who had
thought that the chimney was only per;
forming its regular and legitimate func-.
tions. First chimney I've ever met
that had that vice.
He shifted the air several times, and
then walked over to the dissolute
chimney to investigate. He peeped.
down into the dark depths, and there
he spied a young man, with his feet
planted on the ends of the projecting
bricks, putting away on cigarette and
getting the chimney into disrepute.
''Well, me bucky, and what might
you be doing down there?" inquired the
policeman.
II might be picking violets, but Tn
not" replied the man in the chimney.
"Come up, then, and We'll go up to
Sing Sing, where the daisies grow,''
quoth Ditmar, who is something of a
floriculturist.
Goldsten was accused of picking the
pockets of Morris Gordon of 109 Riv-
ington street. He was held in $1,000 bail
for trial by Magistrate Moss in the
Essex Market court.

ODD NAMES FOR CANDIDATES
"kissing Bug" Fights "MaiI Order
Package"-kansas in Throes of
Bitter Political Fight
Special to The Herald

oPcSidl " Hc
LEAVENWORTH, Kan, July 49,
Kansas is in the midst of the most
bitter political campaign in it's his
tory. The Republicans have as their
candidate for recollection Governor e.
w. Hoch, referred to facetiously by the
Democrats as the kissing bug" while
the Republicans refer to former Sen
ator W. A. Harris, the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, as the mail
order package"
Governor Hoch's enemies say the
story that he attempted to kiss Mrs.
w. b. Hanley and the excuse he gave
that it was but a way Methodists had
of saluting each other, will sound the
death knell of his political career, while
the Republicans call attention to the
fact that Senator Harris is not even a
resident of the state and not tax
payer, and they have written articles
by the column to prove that both the
organic and statutory laws bar him
from even casting his vote in the
state.
The records of Leavenworth county,
where he formerly resided, have been
searched and it has been ascertained
that Senator Harris did not vote in
the state in 1904 at both the presidential
and state election; that he has not paid
any personal or real taxes here since
1901, and did not even pretend to keep
up his citizenship here.
The Republicans charge that Harris,
besides not being resident of the
state, lives in palatial residence in
Chicago. Harris claims that his home
is in seven-room apartment and in
vites the Republicans to take a photo
graph Of it for distribution throughout
the state.
All in all, the campaign is to be
hot one and will go down in Kansas
history as the most bitter ever carried
on in the state.
