SUGGESTED METHOD OF COMMUNICATING WITH MARS.

That Mars is Inhabited. scientists
are convinced, and for years efforts to
communicate with the planet, 35,OOO,-
900 miles away, have been made with
out avail.
That communication between our
world and the Martians will one day
be established, however. Is practically
agreed, writes d. s. lands, a noted
scientist. Following the death of an
army oficer-scientist there came to
light papers dealing with interplanet-
airy communication, which suggest a
way Of putting into execution the long
dream of the scientific world.
This officer knew that rife ball
driven by army powder Travelled 1000
feet per second, and the projectiles of
large cannon much faster. But they
fell after time, due to the attraction
Of the earth.
He estimated that II proiectile
could be fired that would travel 26 800
feet per second 1t would overcome
gravity and travel round the earth AT
a fixed height returning to Its start

CAUSES RIOTS IN BERLIN.
Denial of Suffrage Reform Gives
Troops and Police Stern Work.


Berlin, Jan. IA demand made
in the Prussian landtag for manhood
suffrage in Prussia brought out the
statement from Prince Won Buelow.
the imperial chancellor, that while the
matter required reform the govern
ment did not consider that manhood
suffrage would be good for the state.
and that secret voting would not be
permitted.
The reform would have to take into
consideration the position of the
middle classes and the qualifications
of age, property and education might
have some weight.
AS soon as the position of the gov
eminent was ready it would be com.
municated to the landtag, but the
chancellor did not expect 1t would be
at this session. Prince Buelow con.
cluded his remarks amid storm OF
Kisses and cheers.
This statement was distinctly un-
popular with the people. who had
gathered in large numbers outside the
building. Rioting began and the po
lice were speedily reinforced. The
demonstration spread through the city
and to stop it the police had to charge
with drawn sabers. A number OF
rioters were injured and some of the
police sustained wounds.

ing place in one hour and twenty-three
minutes.
Going farther. he learned that If a
velocity of $1,000 feet per second was
achieved. the projectile fired from
cannon on the worlds pinnacle would
pass straight into space. escape the
earth's attraction, and instead of fall
ing to the earth, would drop upon the
planet nearest 1t at the time.
This theory, If executed. would make
communication with Mars possible. A
speed of $4,000 feet per second is not
impossible. When the gun and cxplo-
slve capable of such velocity are dis
covered, scientists can drop a projectile
upon Mars, beyond doubt
A non-fusible projectile, partially hoi-
lowed, could carry messages from this
world to any toward which it was d.
rected. The motions of the earth and
Mars being known, it would require but
little calculation to so fire the pro-
tectile that 1t would, when stopped, be-
attracted toward its intended destina-
ton.

official and political. The visits of the
others are purely social. That the
meeting of william III and King Ed
ward will conduce to European peace
and to fuller understanding between
the two countries is taken for granted
at all the chancellorles of Europe. 1t Is
an interesting circumstance that amid
all the numerous wars of European
history there has never been breach
OF the peace between England and
Germany, or between England and
Prussia, and the meeting between
Kaiser and King will undoubtedly bind
the two nations more closely together.

COURT FREES scHMIrz.
Trial Court Reversed by Court of
Appeals.

San Francisco.-"The judgment and
order are reversed and the trial court
is directed to sustain the demurrer to
the indictment and discharge the de
/ fendant as to such Indictment"
This was the decision handed down
by the district court of appeals re-
versing the judgment of the trial court
in the case of former Mayor Eugene
h. Schmitz. sentenced to five years. in
San Quentin on the charge of holding
up" French restaurants in the matter
OF liquor licenses. and setting aside
the indictment on which his conviction
was had. The trial was made notable
by the appearance o. Abraham Ruef.
the political dictator. who controlled
the municipal administration and prac
tically placed Schmltz in office, as 81
witness against the mayor, testifying
that he had paid to him as his share
$500 of the $4,000 received by Ruef
from the French restaurants in orde~
that Schmitz would permit the board
of police commissioners to issue liquor
licenses to them. Ruef had, previous
to tbs, dramatically pleaded guilty to
the same charge, at the same time
making the enigmatical statement that
he was innocent.
On the ground that the indictment
did not show that a public offense was
committed because it did nos allege
any threat to iniure property, the
court holding that liquor license was
not property, but mere permission;
that threat to prevent the obtaining
of liquor license by one who had no
authority in the premises did not con-
sdtute a threat against property; and
because of numerous errors in the rul-
ing OF the trial judge-Superior Judge
Frank H. Dunne-the appellate court
held that the Indictment was invalid
and the conviction null and void In
effect the court held that Schmitz was
not given fair and impartial trial.
Added interest was given the Ruef
case by the report that the breach be-
tween Ach and Ruef was again healed
and that Ach will take charge OF
Ruef's legal matters again.
Attorney Drew for ex-Mayor
Schmitz, has made an appeal for bail
for Schmitz. Drew also asked District
Attorney Cook to have Schmitz's bail
reduced from s355,OOO to ali even
100000
Ruef, it is said, will have to stand
trial on all his indictments. He re-
fused to testify for the prosecution
unless the prosecution granted him
full immunity This was refused
Without Ruef the prosecution will
have difficulty in connecting up many
of the defendants with the alleged
crimes.
