SIGNOR MARCONI BUSY.
Plans to Employ Hertzian Waves for
Several Purposes.

SYDNEY. y. S., November 11-While
occupied chiefly at Glace bay in the per-
lection of his newly inaugurated service
of Transatlantic wireless biography
Signor Marconi announces that he is Civ
ing considerable thought to the employ
ment of Hertzian waves for trans mission
of power as we'll as means of commu-
nication.
He explained in an interview that the
Hertzian waves are now being employed
for many purposes besides telegraphy in
the British navy. All of the larger ships,
he said, were equipped with an apparatus
ployed for wireless communication We're
used for the invisible transmission of
power to the extent of controlling and
exploding torpedoes.
The inventors attention was called to
a recent cable dispatch from Paris. tell
ing of an Austrian electrician who was
attempting to obtain financial support
from. the American colony there for an
invention which he claimed would nullify
wireless messages in case of war. Ad-
hitting the possibilities of such an in
vantion, Mr.. Marconi remarked that
whereas the present cables can easily he
cut with few blows, it would require
the erection of large plant to nullify
the wireless service, and as the invention
has yet to be thoroughly tested. 1t might
not succeed. Its discovery, however il
vas added. is valuable contribution to
the wireless principle.

BACTERIA IN GREENBACKs.
New York Health Officer Scouts Idea
of Transmission of Disease.

NEW YORK. November lid. A. Fl
Doty, health officer of this port, who 70,
years has made study of Infections dis
eases. and especially the medium of their
transmission, does not agree with the
theorists who contend that money is a
transmitter Of disease.
DR.. Doty says that while meteorological
examinations were presented to show thai
different forms of bacteria were founC
on money. practical and careful observa-
ton had proved that infection was caused
and epidemics were spread in nearly all
Instances by personal contact with in
fected persons. and more especially witt
ambulance cases and water than through
the handling OF money or clothing.
He says, moreover, that too much need
less and harmful agitation is being de-
voted to the theory that money is AZ
agent of disease. He contends that Their,
are many other considerations in the pro-
lection of public health that constitute 6
zeal menace that should take up tn
consideration of the public rather than
conditions which are based on theory

COURT SEVERELY REBukEO
ACQUITTAL OF LIEUTS. MOLLER
AND BENNETT DIsAPPRovED.
Gen. Mills Holds That Evidence OF
Guilt of Accused Should Have
Been Admitted on the Trial.

Information has reached the War De-
partment that Second Lieuts. John ]. Mol
Ter and Claire r. Bennett. Sth Infantry.
were acquitted by a court-martial con-
vened al Toosa. Leyte. p. l.. in October
of the charge of conduct to the prejudice
of good order and military discipline, and
that the action of the court was dis
approved by Gen. A. L. Nils. command
ing the Department of the Nisayas-
The charge in this case was based on
allegations that the accused officers In
deliberate disregard of the protection due
ten native prisoners. had permitted them
to be tormented by the presidente of
Tolosa and party. by having their ingers
squeezed and mashed in small wise, for
the purpose of extorting Information
which they were supposed to possess.
Scathing Rebuke of Court.
In his review of the case Gen. Mills adj
ministers scathing rebuke to the court
for an alleged miscarriage of justice In
refusing to admit the evidence of the In
spector general who investigated the case,
and to whom the accused officers volun-
tarily admitted, under oath. the truth of
the charge substantially. Gen. Mills says
the ruling of the court on that point was
"indefensible." But wholly excluding the
evidence ruled out. Gen. NILS says that
the guilt of the officers. as materially
alleged seems established beyond any
reasonable doubt by unimpeached evil
dence of record.
Gen Mills says that although a court
martial is the judge of the credibility of
witnesses and the weight to be attached
to their testimony, a careful constdera-
ton of the evidence of record fails 10 dis
close sufficient grounds for the findings.
and when these are considered in cOnneC-
ton with the courts rulings and decisions.
there IS no escape. he says, from the con-
clusion that. as an instrument for arriv-
ing at justice. the court failed in its duty.
Repetitions Of instances Of this kind he
says, will speedily destroy public conf
dence in court-martiais.
Reproach on the Service.
1t is further remarked by Gen Mills
that the admissions of Lieuts Moller and
Bepnett to the inspector established con-
duct on their part which brings just re-
proach upon the service. and is a stain on
their manhood. The fact that they did
not actually order the matreatment es-
| tablished in evidence. Gen. Mills says
does not lessen in the least their own re-
sponsibiiity therefor, for. he adds, they
knew that such procedures Were in di-
rect violation OF the orders governing the
troops in the operations in which they
were engaged
