MACHINE
Proves SUCCESS and is to

Market

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 4.-Last
night there was a successful test OF
the Burlingam's typewriting tele-
graph machine. II was run at full
speed for two hours over one hundred
sixtyfive miles of wire and there was
not the slightest hitch nor break
The test was made in the office
of the company in the Chronicle
Building, connected with the wires
of the Postal Telegraph Company.
This machine will do away with
skilled telegraphers. Anyone who
can manipulate typewriter can send
telegraph messages and they are re-
ceived automatically and printed on a
typewriter at the receiving end.
Thic machine has been backed by
Chris Buckley for the last three years
and it has cost the company fully
two hundred thousand dollars to
bring it to it's present state of perfec-
tiOn.
1t will now be manufactured on a
large scale and revolutioniZe the
sending of telegraDhic dispatches.

be known as the seventh judicial dis
trict.

provided for and besides Judge Sum
mers the Governor will be called up

Truman. all well known attorneys
practicing in this state.
1t is stated however that Judge
