WIRELESS SYSTEM NOT
PERFECT.

While many are Inclined to believe
that the wireless telegraph and tele-
phone are destined to supplant the
old fashioned wire systems, expert
ence has shown that the former has
some drawbacks which may and
doubtless will render it impractical
bic as a substitute in either field An
instance illustrating how the wireless
may in an emergency become inef-
ficient is quoted in late number of
Telephony. the American Telephone
Journal, although at the same time
the illustration shows what great
possibilities the wireless has placed
in the reach of man. The instance re-
lates to the wreck of the steamship
Republic off the Massachusetts coast.
A transcription of the log of the Sias-
conset. Massachuset, wireless tele-
graph station relates how the first
Hash from the Republic was recorded,
calling all ships to hasten to aid
the distressed boat. "Send help
quickly, was the wireless plea thrice
repeated from the hapless Republic,
which had been run down and was
sinking rapidly. Help was quickly
dispatched through messages from
the Siasconset station. Several ships
were soon speeding to the rescue. No
sooner were they well under way,
however, than. owing to each using
the wireless in their effort to COM
municate with the distressed Repub-
lie. the various currents began to con-
fiict with each other, causing almost
hopeless confusion, or jamming" of
the messages, so that communication
with the sinking vessel was almost
lost Finally the passengers were
taken from the Republic and saved.
Their rescue was due to the agency
of the wonderful wireless, it is true,
and yet the confusion caused by the
tangling of currents showed plainly
that, the system has very serious de-
feets. Telephony asserts, it does not
appear likely that it can ever repalce
the wire systems, as on land, with the
Innumerabie currents that would be
set in motion, were any attempt made
to substitute it for wire systems.

VIOLATION OF THE
IMMIGRATION LAW
Case Tried at McAIIen On Charge o.
Importing Aliens IL
legally.

Before United States Commits
sioner H. G. bennett at McAIlen
yesterday, Ramon Zamora was
bound over in the sum or 5000 to
await the action of the next term
of the United States District Court
on charge of violating section 8
of the immigration laws, or land
ing aliens in this country who
have not been duly examined by
U. S. immigrant Inspector. 1t is
Is alleged that Zamora has for some
time been ferrying passengers
across the Rio Grande at that point.
an violation of this law, and on the
18th, of this month it is alleged
he was caught in the act of landing
passengers by Immigrant Inspect
or Howell, who is stationed at
that point, and was Immediately
arrested. A similar case was tried
before the u. S. Commissioner at
this place last Saturday but as the
witnesses, who had previously in
formed the immigration authorities
at this place that they had crossed
the river at a ferry above here,
after being sworn, told a different
story TO the commissioner, swearing
that they had never crossed at any
but the one between Santa Cruz
and Brownsville, the defendant
was allowed to go free.

No More "scooping."

To Editors of Papers in Circuit:
Dear. Sirs: President Justice In his
effort to treat all alike and to do
everything possible to elevate the
game of baseball with the public by
increasing the interests in the Central
Association, has adopted a new plan
in the issuance Of the monthly aver
ages of the elague. Heretofore they
have all been mailed out to the vari-
Gus cities at the same time and 1T has
seemed that certain papers always had
them first. That was merely mat
ter of mail service and no result OF
preference or favoritism whatever.
But in order to get the best represen-
tation in the press of this class OF
matter, Mr.. Jngtice has decided that
he would alternate the averages be-
tween the morning and evening papers
and hereafter they will be sent direct
| is the papers to be held subject to re-
lease from President Justice. The
morning papers were given the first
averages or at least the morning dali
! les printed them first this month and
1 the June records will go to the even
4 ing papers. The cooperation OF the
press with the league Is earnestly re-
quested in this matter and since there
will be no scooping" of the papers
in one field or the other it is to be
hoped that both fields will give the
records such consideration and space
as their Importance deserves.
i The official scorer will be furnished
the copy each month and instructed to
whom and when it shall be released
Each paper may get copy from him
after which he will turn it.over to the
local association of his city.

The Indians were forced to remain
idle at Burlington again yesterday and
is surely looks as if Ned Egan and his
merry band Of Pathfinders are being
saved from trouncing by the In
dams merely through the inclemency
of the weather and the condition OF
the soil under foot. The under foot
part of 1t would not bother either team
but the rain is wet and has made a
battle impossible.
Belt is rejoicing more that the team Is
the guest of manager Egan at thirty
five dollars per than that the Indians
were doing the entertaining. NJ course
we are running little shy of funds
and the team could not be maintained
for ever, but 1t is better to have
little coming in and nothing going out,
than to have everything going out and
nothing in the draught. Reports have
beer received here that Egan is al
ready setting m Fl c~' for help. hnf
the only thing worrying Belt Is
delay in going up to the top.
The Indians spent their time play
ing Kelly pool yesterday and the re-
port is that Burch lost. Bruggeman
took little time to demonstrate his
ability as a bowler and made his old
time Burlington friends sit up and
take notice. Brugge is going to show
the Keokuk club how it is done when
the alleys open in the early fall.
Reichle was notified last evening
that he had batted over 300 up to date
and attributes the fact to the weak
pitching OF the Central Association
twirlers. So modest Of Reich.
Pa" Belt will probably do the re
ceiving today as his shin guards will
protect him from the damp.
But two games were played in the
league yesterday. Hannibal winning
from Ottumwa by the score of to

loo by the score of 8 to 4. Boyle uset

The utler.French Wedding.

i
ST. Francisville was the scene of
a happy ceremony when Miss
Sallie Fort Butler, the second
daughter of the house, was given
in marriage to Mr.. George Ed
ward French, of StatesVllle,
North Carolina, on Thursday af-
ternoon, Feb. 4th. Only near
relatives were hidden to the
wedding, but which lacked moth
ing in the elegance and beauty
of it's appointments, that wealth,
refinement and culture could
suggest and prepare. Though
quiet and transformations, in
consonance with the family
tastes, it was made so beautiful
an occasion, that it will ever
tlinger as a lovely memory, not
only in the minds OF the happy
bride and bridegroom, but with
all those brought there as we'd
ding guests.
AS the hour of two approached
and the relatives gathered at the
residence, driving in through the
} avenue of young oaks, their
thoughts went ahead and antlcl'
mated the welcome awaiting them
at the portals when greeted by
Mrs. Thos. Butler and her beVy
of daughters, the brides three
