Telephone at Sea Reported a Failure

ASBURY PARK. n. j.. January IA. :
1t is learned here from letters received
by friends of one Of the chief electricians
now serving with Evans battleship fleet
that telephone communication which was
relied on to supplant the wireless sys-
tenn at sea is practically failure. The
system has been tried, according to the
electrician. and found wanting. While
connection is easily formed between the
big ships. the communications are a
tumble Of sounds. SO frequently inter-
rupted that the system had to be aban-
doned for practical uses. and the fee<
is now using the wireless telegraph sys
tenn exclusively.
The writer says that failure to pre-
serve the arc between two sets of in
struments is the cause of the breakdown
of the system Almost as soon as con-
nections are made they are broken. and
only portions of the messages can be
received. The War Department, it is un-
ders TODD. has not lost hope that the in
vention will be finally perfected.

DIED OF HAEMoaLoBINURIA.
Mrs. Rosa A. Bender Succumbs t
Rare Disease in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE. Nd. January 14.-Mrs.
Rosa A. Bender. wife OF Mr.. George Ben
der, 951 Pennsylvania avenue. died Sat
urday evening at her home Of a rare dis
ease in this climate. known to the medical
profession as haemoglobinuria. The dis
ease Is marked by change in the red
blood cells. which are dissolved. and pass
through the kidneys. The disease is SINH
lar to that malady so frequent in West
Africa, and which is known as black
water fever. The disease carries off great
numbers Of the natives and Is dreaded by
travellers.
The disease is sometimes caused by ma
laria, which is usually the case in west
Africa: sometimes by infectious diseases,
such as scarletina: also typhoid and also
BY exposure to cold during wet weather.
This last condition is thought by DIR.
David Street. who was the attending ply
sician, to have been the cause of Mrs.
BENDER contracting the malady. The U.s.
ease usually begins with a chill. follow
ing the exposure or infection. vomiting
sets i'm and an intense jaundice ensues
The disease Is not always fatal.
