The greatest forward step which has
been taken in wireless telegraphy since
Marconi flashed signals across the At
lantic from Newfoundland to Ireland three
years ago came in the demonstration OF
the DeForest system one night last week,
when out of 1000 words sent from a sta
ton at Coney Island 572 words were re-
ceived and correctly recorded at a sta
tion In Ireland, 5000 miles away. Hereto
fore the greatest distance that messages
had been sent through the atmosphere was
2100 miles. from Coney Island to Colon,
Panama. The officials Of the DeForest
company are planning wireless communi-
cation between Ireland and San Francisco,
with two relays, one at Coney Island apd
the other at the crest Of the Rockies the
latter to be done away with later.

STANDIFER FAILS
 TO ANSWER NAME
DEFENDANT IN ATLANTA CASE DOES NOT APPEAR IN COURT AND FoRFElTS 6oND-WIT- MISSES ARE DISMISSED.

Atlanta, April 6.-tspecial)-The case or F. NJ Standifer whose wife killed her sister Chapel Whisenant, because of al- leged improper relations between the lat ter and Standifer. took q sensational turn in the city court this morning when Standifer failed to appear for trial and his bond was declared forfeited.
 stanoifer had been indicted for a mis- demeanor. the charge being immoral con duct. and was at liberty under cash bond of 5000 put up in the name of Ike Wheeler Standifers case was called yes terday afternoon at which time he was present. but it was postponed until today on account of a lack of time.
 When the case was called this morning Standlfer failed to answer and his att torney. Harvey Hill, stated he had not seen him since yesterday The bond was promptly declared forfeited and the wit nesses were dismissed.
 It is said if Standifer had gone to trial there would have been some sensational developments in the case. It is understood that he would have been held up before the jury and the people in the light of the real slayer of Miss Whisenant as the result of his conduct.
 Mrs. Standifer who fired the fatal shot is out on bond of s5000, though under an indictment charging her with murder. The general impression seems to be that she will not be convicted.

Mexico City, April 6.--John Alexander Dowie before leaving last night for Chi cago, said, showing deep emotion in reply to the question as to how the revolt In Zion City could be explained:

 Continuing he said
 They have done many things tha. were not right, not that they were crimes so much as lllunders; unwilful departures from my policy. Some of these departures were quite serious. They joined together to try to keep me from going home. l was not going home for two months any way, but they did not want me then. Meanwhile, they were fighting General Overseer Lewis here, and Secretary Will hite on the Mexican proposition. We were generous to them In every way, but they were not generous 10 us.

I left money to my credit, and l gave my checks for many things and allowed them to be charged up to me which made my account look big, but which had nothing whatever to do with my personal expenses.
