Disapprove Parade
The subject of having parade of
sailors and marines was discussed
yesterday and a vote disappearing of
the idea was unanimous
Chairman Motley Flint spoke en-
parade. He said:
1--WE are planning an entertainment
for the men of the fleet that will oc-
cupy practically every hour of the day
and evening of each day the fleet will
be here. We intend it to be the best
that can be given.
1.-THE plans that we have formulated
SO far and Which, have been approved
by the fleet committee will afford,
believe, series Of unique features
such as the sailors have not seen for a
long while, If ever.
IF a parade is held it will break
into our plans and we may as well go
out of business. Besides, the officers
and men of the fleet are always OPP
posed to parade themselves. 1t
means a hardship upon them. They
are our guests on this occasion. We
want them to do what they want
to do
Frank Virgins also opposed a pa
rade. TT was the unanimous opinion
of the fleet committee from the begin
ming that there should be no parade, .
he said. 1.-THE sailors are weary of
that sort of thing. We are going to
entertain them, not they entertain us"

geraon to estimate that the first years orders for the
Collins Wireless Telephone service from the count
less steamers ferry boats tug boats and Others now
without service of any kind should easily amount to
sufficient to pay enormous dividends on the capital
stock inside of two or three years.
There can be question about the business that
is waiting for the Collins Wireless Telephone service
AT the present time the company is in receipt of orders
to install the system on the boats of several of the
largest steamship companies operating out of New
York while some of the leading railroads and trans
portaton companies now in correspondence with
the management, looking toward the immediate in
stallation of the Collins system all their lines The
managers of the great steamship, railway and ferry
companies realize the life and property saving value
of the Collins Wireless Telephone system, and when
it is considered that its possible customers number
thousands idea of the earnings OF the company
can be secured. There $4,000 registered
vessels in the American harbors alone each and every
one of which must sooner later be equipped with
wireless telephone service from the standpoint OF
safety as well for commercial purposes.

Franchise Unnecessary

AS result it has broader field than the telephone,
telegraph cable particularly it will do things
that they cannot do, viz, send messages from ship
to ship and from ship to shore without the use OF
wires poles, franchises operators expensive equip
ment. It will enable to talk personally and gives
the same result water that is given by the tele-
phone on land 1t will also enable the smaller YES
se1s such as yachts tow-boas ferry boats etc. which
have not been able to accept the wireless telegraph
system because of its great expense, to equip them
selves moderate cost and enjoy the benefits of this
great invention.
In addition to the great practicabilty of wireless
telephony for short distance communication as has
already been narrated it should be taken into consid
Grafton that the thousands of immense department
Stores some of them Is and 20 stories in height with
many different departments each floor, scattered
throughout the cities of the United States, will by
virtue of wireless progress and necessity for quick
communication with the main office, adopt system
of wireless telephony and will no doubt abandon the
present telephone system requiring swtchboards and
operators and other heavy expense Large factories,
financial institutions and insurance companies occu-
pying the entire space of mammoth buildings and the
hundreds of great hotels requiring switchboards and
operators on each floor must adopt its use, all without
the exoendit1re of one penny for operators.

The Patent Situation

After devoting seven years of time to the subject,
on March 10, 1906 patent granted to A. Fred
ercl Collins for Wireless Telephony This patent
was obtained by MESSRS MUM & CO., the eel
brated Patent Attorneys of New York and proprie-
tors of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, and is broad
one covering the fundamental principles for trans
hitting and receiving articulate speech without con-
Meeting wires.
Heretofore the distance to which wireless tele-
phone messages could be sent has been limited, since
sufficiently sensitive transmtter will only carry Is
volts and one-ha ampere of current Mr. Collins in
vention makes it possible to as high voltage and
as much current as may be desired. This is accom-
pshed by what is known the speaking and the

Management

The management of the Collins Wireless Telephone
company is in the hands of responsible and reliable
business who thoroughly investigated the system
before becoming identified with it, hence conserva-
tive business policy in the interests of the ockhold
ers is assured.
1t is believed that the stock of the Collins Wireless
Telephone Company offers great if not greater
opportunity than that Of the Bell Telephone wherein
an original investment of 500 afterwards became
worth $2000O0 Shrewd investors will appreciate the
advantageous position this company will hold, and it
is expected that the limited amount of stock that is to
be offered for public subscription will be quickly
absorbed

she then will realize that the morning
dawn of fresher life and wider outlook
comes to her across the broad Pacific
from free America, her truest friend
and helper. We covet no portion of
her territory. We desire from her, as
from all nations, increased good will
and that mutual respect which knows
neither buster nor cringing on either
side. Thus in this new era of larger
relations, Secretary Taft, with his
comprehension of national and inter-
national subjects, would furnish GER
tainty of peace and sustained pres
tige. Under him, at home and every
where, this mighty people would have
an assured confidence in the secure
development and progress of the coun-

that a chief executive was at the helm
who, in peace or in war, would guide
the destinies of the nation with a
strong hand and with a gentle, patri-
otic heart.
"And so today in the presence of
more than ten thousand, and with the

were gathering. When Mr.. New arose
the roar of conversation and the cheer

for the convention.

Again Mr.. New arose, and this time
called forth Senator J. C. Burrows of
Michigan, whom he presented as tem-

delivered carefully prepared speech
in which he reviewed at length the his

development of the country under it's
rule, and praised in turn the work
done by each of the nine executive de-
partments, the army and navy and the

Speaking of the promised revision of
the tariff, Senator Burrows said that
whatever changes are made, American
industries and American labor will
still be fully protected. Long and
loud applause was given the speaker
as he concluded.

the way to self-government, and new
recognition of the rights of man.

A Rich Pauper.

Rochester Johnson, q vet
eran of the civil war, alone in the
world, and a man supposed to be
without much worldly goods, living
near Preston, was adjudged insane
and brought to the state hospital at
this place. Upon his arrival here the
usual procedure of searching the
clothes was inaugurated, and way
down in an out-of-the-way place, care
fully tucked away, the authorities
found on his person the neat sum of
$2,726.
His clothes were old and tattered,
worn almost threadbare, but the mon
ey was found in the corners and in
various pockets. There was one GER
tificate of deposit for 5000, rs twenty
dellar bills, number of tens, and not
few specimens of currency of
smaller denominations. Johnson was
a we'll known character in the vicin-
ity of Preston, and for the past few
years had been living in hut on the
banks of river, near that village.
He is 63 years of age. His assets
have been carefully deposited by the
hospital authorities as required by
law.
