PREDICTS PENNY-A-NORD CABLE

LONDON, July 4.-John Henniker
Heaton, who was the first to announce
the conclusion of a penny postal ar
rangement between Great Britain and
the United States, made significant
statement tonight at the dinner of the
American Society with reference to a
penny-a-word cable rate across the At
lantic. He said:
I'VE will shortly have a penny-a-
word cablegram l am confident that
with the assistance of great electri-
clans whom we have interested in the
matter this soon will be successfully
accomplished"
Mr. Heaton when asked to explain
the scheme said he was hardly able to
do that yet. From other sources 1t
was learned that the scheme which
Mr. Heaton has proposed to the gov
eminent apparently is practical, but
will cake long time to work out.
