OVERLAND WIRELESS
COMMANDER H0GG IS PTsEASED
 WITH ExPERIAEENTs.
Messages Sent From Peusacoia to OaI- ifornia Over AFQuntaln Peaks. Important Trials will Be-
 gin Today.

Pensacola. Fla. March IT,, Especially What is claimed to be the record in long distance wireless telegraphy has been made by the station at the Pen sacola Navy Yard.
 Commander W. s. Hogg, in charge of the station. today received from the operator in charge of the Point Loma. Califs, station, a letter transmitting a message which the Pensacoia station had sent out last week, and which had been intercepted by the California sta- tion. This message, or rather the nrst one. was sent to the bataeship con necticut, then 100 miles off Guantan- amo. and was received by that vessel. Immediately after a message was sent to Washington, and this, too, was caught by the Point Loma station. and copies of 1t made and sent here.
 Commander Hogg believes ehis is the greatest distance over land that wire less message has ever been received. The distance between Pensacola and Point Loma is 1900 miles. and three mountain ranges have to be traversed. The sending was done with 10 ktlo- watts machine. which Is relatively small power, but is somewhat over the maximum. Speaking of the matter. Commander Hoog this morning said
 This would seem to indicate that if we are given a 50 kilo-watts machine, that communication from Washington to San Francisco, via Pensacola, can be maintained, if the other stations have a sufficient power and conditions are favorable. Pensacola's situation is very favorable for wireless work" An efrort is being made to have the local station equipped with a larger and more powerful machine, but even with the one now in use. better service is

REALTY MEN
 ON ARCADE" Proposed Extension of
 Monroe Street. MAY BE SETTLED TONIGHT Finance Committee to Take Up Question With Agents. After cenference .. to Property to Be Condemned, It wln Likely Be
 Ready to Report to
 Council

The Arcade" the proposed extension of Monroe Street into Commerce street. may have definite, If not final, consid- eration by the City Council tonight. when the Finance Committee VIII re- port upon the progress made by itself and the committee of real estate men who have been Investigating the feas- ibility of the plan to make another Dexter Avenue for Montgomery.
 The Finance Committee and the real estate men will confer this afternoon. and when the real estate mems report has been published. 1t Is believed they will have definite information upon which the committee and afterwards the Council may base its calculations as to the cost and time. Chairman Lobman of the Finance Committee will preside over the conference this af- ternoon.
 From statements made yesterday arises the belief that the real estate men have completed the unofficial ap- praisal of the properties that would have to be purchased or condemned to provide the right of way.
 The plan was first considered by the Council about three months ago, when the entire proposition was referred 10 the Finance Committee It has since been working with the real estate men to secure the data needed fer spe- cific consideration of the matter. The opening of the street is regard ed with great popular favor. It would increase the values of properties on Monroe Street and would make of Mon roe thoroughfare that would in all probability become another Dexter Av- enue. It ie believed that the cost to the city would not be more than SS0O,- coo, probably not nearly so much. The creation of a Police Commission and the election of its members Is also on the program for tonight. It was on the books for the last meeting, but by unanimous consent it went over. It is not certain that the question will come up tonight. but 1t is expected that the Judiciary Committee will make It's report upon the constitutionality of the creative act by which the Commission was established as A part of the mufat- cipal government.
 The candidates, if any there be- for the positions have not made overt cam paigns for the positions.
 The legality of the appointment Of Police Commission for Montgomery ds- bends upon the construction placed by the Supreme Court upon an act of the Legfslature passed four years ago.
 The refunding of taxes erroneously collected upon insolvent credits win be considered tonight, but whether nns ally or not is not known The other matters scheduled for transaction are chiefly of routine Character.

 The company on the other hand claims that 1t has already given the car workers an increase and that it does not feel justified in granting the demands of the car workers.
 Both sides seem very determined and just what the end will be is problem atical.
