A WIRELESS EXPERT AT l3.
New Haven Boy who Rugged Up His
Own Apparatus.
New York Sun.


New Haven, October 20.-Malcolm
Doolittle, aged 13, of 147 Bradley
street, has unaided studied the science
of wireless telegraphy, has built a
wireless station in the backyard of
his home and is able to pick up mes
sages from passing steamers in the
Sound five miles away.
A few months ago he read in a
children's paper description Of a
wireless outfit and explanations as
to how a bright boy could rig up all
outfit that would send messages
across the room. He told his father
that night that he was going to try
the trick, and his father laughingly
told him to go ahead, and that he
would give him 81 for every message
that he could send across the room.
The youngster worked at the prob
lem every spare moment out of school,
and one evening surprised his father
by telling him that he was ready for
that first payment on the dollar plan,
as he could send message across the
room. The father inspected the out
tit that had been rugged up and was
convinced only after his son had sent
him messages across the 20 foot room.
Then young Doolittle began to plan
to send messages all over the house
and to interest the other boys in his
neighbor hood in the fun. Soon that
part Of town had various wireless sta
tions rugged up temporarily in draw
ing rooms, kitchens and laundries. The
ment, but Doolittle kept on.
When the novelty Of the house
equipment wore off young Doolittle
tackled the bigger problem Of transmit
ting and receiving messages outside,
and wires were strung up on the out
side of the house. 1t was many weeks
before the lad could figure it all out,
but finally he struck it and then be-
ganm aking plans fora tower IN the
back yard and real wirless outfit.
A tower rs feet high has now been
equipped at cost Of $100, and from it
Doolittlc can establish communication
up to 100 miles. When the young in
ventor got this rugged up to suit him
he began trying to catch the mes
sages that were being flashed to the
De Forest tower station in the western
part Of the city, three or more miles
away from his home.
The operators sending and receiving
messages at this station were speedy,

the Circuit Court today on the charge
of living unlawfully with FIVE wives.
The complaint was sworn to by Nor
mon deputy Sheriff, the warrant was

ratgned and waived preliminary hear
ing. After being bound over he was
released on his own recognizance
President Smith reached here. two
days ago on his return from Europe
He then learned that an attempt had
been made to secure his arrest for a
statutory offense in connection with
the birth of his forty-third child The
complaint was made from a distinctly
anti Mormon: source. The County At
torney refused to approve prosecution
on this charge.
The County Attorney was then cited
to appear in court and show cause why
he should not be compelled to act in the
matter. After the hearing the court
held that the attorney was justified in
refusing. to prosecute because the COM
plainant offered no evidence that the
woman was the wife of President

HEAT INJURIES THE
GRAPE CROP.
Torrid Wave in. Southern
Part of State Keeps the
Pickers From the Field
CHANGE rs INDICATED

LOS ANGELES. Oct. According to
statements from authoritative sources.
the expectations of vineyardists that
the present season would realize the
largest wine-grape crop in the history
of Southern California have been shat
tered by the wave of almost unprece-
dented heat which struck this section
of the State Saturday night and has
continued with but moderate abate-
ment until this evening.
Thousands of tons of choice grapes,
say the growers, have been scared
within the past two days and will be
fit. for nothing but brandy making or
raisins. These grapes were in the pick
ing, but when the hot wave struck
without warning hundreds of pickers
quit the fields and refused at any price
to return to work while the heat
lasted.
AS high a temperature in the streets
as 112 degrees (shadeJ was reached on
Sunday, and today the mercury quiv-
cred around the 100 point. Tonight it Is
appreciably cooler and there are indi-
cations that the torrid spell is broken.

Coupled with these two declarations
came another announcement early IN
the day that Senator Platt had called a
conference at which a formal denial of
the story was TO. be drafted and signed
by all the parties who figure in it. But
there was no conference. and up to a

AUTOTHAT WRECKS
ITSELF LATEST TOY
Unique Invention to Be
Seen at the Exposition
Now Being Held in Paris

PARIS, Oct. 1.-The toy exposition
NOW being held at the Summer .Alcazar,
on the Champs 'Elysees, is a remark
ably attractive display. There, under
the auspices of NJ. Lapine, the popular
Prefect. of Police, the inventive facul-
ties of the purveyors of amusement. for
children are brought to the notice of
the paSlic already thinking out the
problem of Christmas and New Year
gifts for their little ones.
The offer of substantial prices for
the best and most ingenious ideas has
induced $50 exhibitors to join in the
exposition, and these have succeeded in
bringing together some marvels of in
genuity and patience. The process Of
manufacture may also be watched from
beginning to end, as several stands
have been erected where the inventors
carry on the work of turning out toys
from morning to night.
Many of the articles shown are close
ly connected with up-to-date events
Consequently automobiles play a great
part in the exposition. Toy motor cars,
exactly copied from the full-sized ma
chimes, are displayed In profusion.
and the frequent motor car wrecks
have provided one. inventor with the
idea of showing an automobile which
after being wound up smoothly pur-
sues its eashing course for some dis
tance and then, something going sud
denly wrong with the machinery leans
into the air and falls to pieces, throw
ing the Toy passengers to all points of
the compass to await the succoring
hand of the manipulator, who can in a.
few moments replace the scattered
pieces of the machine and reseat the
passengers ready for another wreck.

the month of September amounting to

gresates s4s1.s2O for the city of Santa
Rosa There are now in course of
construction in the business part OF
the city thirty-four permanent build

of brick. stone or concrete or combi
nation OF two of the materials men
toned. There are also one stone two
story hotel and two corrugated iron
warehouses being built. The thirty
four buildings represent eighty store
rooms besides offices. The frontage
represented is over 1900 feet.
The proposed connection of the
Southern Pacific and California North
western railroads at this point and the
construction of a line from San Fran
cisco to Portland through Santa Rosa
has already resulted in attracting at.
tention to this city as field for fac
tory sites. Several men have been here
the last few days looking over the field
with the view of securing a site OF
fifteen acres where switching to and
from both railroads could be easily had
for a large and important maunfac-
turing plant which 1t is said will re-
uuire a trainload of raw material

they admitted that they had found a
suitable location. but refused to divulge
any OF the plans for the present.

CHINESE LABOR NOT
SUITABLE. !.
Magoon Says. Coolies Can
Be Made to Work Only
Under System Of Peonage
NEGROES ALL RIGHT
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO. THE CALL


NEW YORK, Oct. 1.--That Chinese
s.cooIie-. labor is unsuitable for digging
the Panama canal is the opinion of
Charles e. Magoon, retiring Governor
of the canal zone, who arrived here to-
day on the steamer Panama from
Colon.
Magoon; who has been appointed Vice
Governor of the Philippines, will re-
main about thirty days in the United
States before sailing from San Fran
DISCO for his new post.
Magoon believes that the West In
dian. negro labor is the best that could
be obtained for the purpose in view,
and said that. in spite of reports to the
contrary; those negroes now employed
on the canal work were efficient and
effective.
1T is my individual opinion that
eoolie labor won't do on the isthmus,
said Magoon. THE principal reason is
that the United States Government
would never. countenance the system
OF peonage to which the contractors
like effective work out Of Chinese la
borers. We have now between 1000
and 2O0O Chinese working on the 18TH
mus, and what ] say is the result of
observation. TIL. sc will not do stroke
of work more IN n they have to, and
when they nave saved UP a little money
they quit work without warming, start
little. shop and graduate into mer-
chants.
I'm other parts of the world where
such labor is employed they are under
the absolute control of the contractors,
who get effective service by forcing the
men to. work. Slave driving is too
marsh a term to employ in this connec-
tion, but you may quote me as saying
coolies do most effective work under
a.peonage a system.
'In my. opinion the West Indian ne
gro furnishes the best solution of the
problem. While it is true that those
negroes who are now on the isthmus
were somewhat. ignorant. when they
arrived, having had practically no ac-
quaintance:. with any Industry. except
that of sugar planting, they. have
proved adaptable"

Plenty of Ginger
in Double Bill at
Davis Theater
By James Crawford.

There is plenty of what the player
folk term '"ginger" in the double BILL
."Pousse Cafe" and Way Up East,
that was started on a run last evening
at. the Davis Theater. Both pieces are
Weber-Fieldian and were produced on
O'Farrell street several years ago, but
Harry James and his people have re-
vised the books and brought them up
to date and the music has undergone
similar process, with the result that
much new and interesting matter is
presented. So with the original Weber
and Fields costumery and other acces-
sories the performance as a whole is
on a par of .attractiveness with the
best of its predecessors.
"Pousse Cafe has more conference of
plot than any other Of the Weber
Fields. creations. 1t is a tale of two

chanical doll, and the. efforts of a typi-

Cady and the Misses Pendleton and
Sutherland lin Maggie .O'Connor," a

chorus in Lillian Russelps great hit

much in favorable evidence as a Brit
ish dude, and Miss Glosz's display of
frocks is variegated and brilliant.
Way Up East" fclever burlesque

drama, Way Down East" also brings
in several good numbers, including
Rock Me to Sleep, by Miss Glosz; All

pany. Any one who has seen the source
of the burlesQue, and most play goers
have, can find lots to laugh at in the
lines and business" allotted to the
travesty people. The double bill
should have a record-breaking run.

will give the first of their matinees at

linck's "Pelleas and Melisande" will re-
ceive its first presentation in San Fran

Melisande is among the best OF Miss
Crawley's efforts. The Davis Theater
Is admirably equipped for an adequate
production of the dramatic love poem,
and that is what Miss Crawley prom
ises to give it.
