Bentamin Andrews. of the University of Nebraska in addressing the fall con- vention Of the George Washington Uni versity here today. bitterly denounced what he termed malicious and wiiful misrepresentation of the acts Of public or prominent men by the press. Hang ing" he said. would be the punish ment meted out to a proved libel"
 None of the business villainies al- lowed to be so rife" he continued. ''can compare in atrocity with these squalid campaigns of libel and libelous carica- ture which recent months have pro- duced."
 Dr. Andrews said he did not care for the rich as such, but that the pride. idleness and doubtful practices of a few rich are not just cause for putting all rich men in the pi1iory.

scription of the lady and the name written on the envelopes in her bag were also wired across the ocean.
 A prompt reply came back. The au- thorities were instructed to bury the husband at once. In France. but noth- ing was said about the unfortunate woman. They were buried in French graves, side by side. It subsequently developed that the woman had been e lifelong friend of the bereaved fam fly. No one suspected anything be- tween the two. but the facts pointed to a carefully arranged meeting in Europe. The letters from him found among her belongings afterwards fully proved that the iiason had been going on for years. The man. whose name has been carefully withheld. is said to have been prominent in the business and social life of one of the largest cities in the United States.

The first message eastward VIII be from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of the Dominion of Canada, who Will congratulate the English people upon the establishment of this new means of communication between Great Brit ain and Canada.
 Everything was declared to De Tn perfect readiness tonight.
 It was on Janury 23, 1901, that Mir. Marconi established wireless communt- cation between St. Catherines on the Isle of Wight. and The Lizard. in Corn wallis, a distance of lS3 miles. thus proving the principle of the non-inter- ference of the Curvature of the earth which had been anticipated by many scientific men, who had investigated the newly undiscovered principle of wire less telesraphy.
 These results justified Mir. Marconi in recommending the erection of a high power station, with the object of telegraphing wirelessly across the Att lantic. Such a station was erected at Poulhu, in Cornwall. and on De- cember I2. 1901. the first clear and in- telligible signals sent across the At- lantic were received from Poldhu at a temporary station located near St.. Johns, Newfoundland. In commemora- ton of this event, an ofieial compli- mentary luncheon was given Mir Mar conf by the then Governor of New foundIand, Sir Cavendish Boyle.
