A[DR|CH TALKS
ON TARIFF BILL

cREss WERE OF UNPREcE-
pENTED ExTRAvAGANcE.
CLAIMS Senate Bill Has Earnest Sup
port Of President and the Whole
Administration.

priations by congress last year to

chinery. 1t is estimated that New
enues in 1910 from the senate bill
based on the importations of 1907, will
be s$340 100000 He said:
'gThat additional revenue because Of
restrictions on undervaluations is ex-
pected to amount to $5.O00,000, the es-
timated increase for the senate bill be-
ing total increase Of $13,000,000.'

ma bonds are not being held at a par
value in the market. He recommends

LAD WHO HAS MADE WONDER
Full PROGRESS WITH WIRE

Government Will Take Steps to Inter-
fere With Amateur Operators
Who Bother Service.

Paul Hackett. the Walla Walla youth
who has made wonderful progress
along lines of original research in the
mysteries of wireless biography, may
soon be forced 70 discontinue his eff
forts and tear down his station at 729
Whitman street. According to Charles
A. McAllister, engineer in-chief of the
United States revenue cutter service,
who was in Seattle last week, it will
only be matter or q very short time
when the government Will take steps
to put out Of commission all amateur
wireless outfits. When this is done
all operators will be licensed and the
entire system throughout the country
will be put under government jur1s-
diction
1T is too easy a matter now for
anyone to pick up a government mes
sage and give out the information that
perhaps is not intended for any pub
licity.' said Mr. McAllister 'oThe anna
teurs are more numerous in the East
than on the Pacific Coast, and are
causing all kinds Of trouble. 1t is just
as. easy for them to send and receive
as it is for the larger stations, and
stnGfo are some very me ouliItS o"h0U
by amateurs WHEN they are sending,
they jam the air. which causes con-
fusion in legitimate offices.
"The danger of these numerous sta
|tions was plainly demonstrated during
the wreck of the Republic, when every
station was sending out reports and
the correct information of the ships
was so mixed that it was with the
greatest difficulty that plans could be
made for the rescue.
SHOULD war be declared, the govern
nent would Immediately confiscate
every station in the country and put
it under the control of the war depart
ment Excepting that, no steps can
be taken to put them out of the way
until law is passed in congress for
that purpose.
