BOY BREAKS U pNAvY WIRELESS.
Messages and Jokes ships


Intercepts Messages and Jokes ships
but Can't BE Arrested.
The fact that there is no law reposing
authority in government officers to pro-
tect official wireless stations during the
exchange Of wireless messages is giving
great deal of trouble to the station at
the Washington navy yard. A youth liv-
ing in that vicinity, the son of police
man, has set up a station of his own and
takes delight in interpolating messages
during official exchanges. He has repre-
sented himself to be at distant naval
stations or at sea on warships equipped
with wireless apparatus. The local police
authorities were appealed to, but said
they had not the power to interfere with
the young mans experiment.

Commander Robert E. Peary has de-
cided upon several changes in the method
to be followed in his next attempt TO
reach the north pole, according to an in
teryiew made public in Boston. THE
principal improvement over the last
plan" said the explorer, "will be that |
shall continue farther to the westwa
along the North Grant Land coast, and
when / take to the ice l shall bear al
ways to the windward and thus Offset
the continuous drift to the. east. The
second great difference will be that
shall arrange matters so that there will
be no separation Of the parties this time,
and / shall have the relay system so
perfected that in any event | can reload
ample supplies from the supporting
sledges and press forward with the pole
party. This time / shall win" Com
mander Peary said that he thought the
necessary 100000 to equip the expedi-
ton, half of which has been subscribed,
would be forthcoming soon.

OBEY TWO GENT MILE RATE
PENDING COURT DECISION
Probable Action of Pennsyl- vania Railroads to
 Avoid Fines.

Philadelphia, Sept 12,-Pending the final decision of the supreme court of the state on the constltutionality of the two-cent-a-mile railroad rate bill, the Pennsylvania railroad has not yet reached a definite conclusion in mak- ing changes in the schedule of rates. But confident though it is that the de- cision of the Philadelphia court will be sustained by the higher court, the company is nevertheless alive to the possibilities of a reversal, and while round-trip excursion and communication rates probably will remain as at pres ent, 1t is believed that all straight fares will be put on fiat two-cent basis after October 1.
 Other roads in the state are expect ed to follow the example of the Penn sylvania, so as to avoid the possibility of the heavy fines imposed by the act. The suits instituted by these railroads attacking Its constitutionality will be left untouched probably until the de- cision of the higher court has been ob- tained.
