As far back as 1897 English scientists
suggested the possibility OF the wireless
transmission Of electricity and they car
ried on many experiments s. F. 3.
Morse conceived the idea OF telegraphing
without wires and succeeded in sending
a few words across the canal at Wash
inEtcn in 1872. Alexander Graham Bell
suggested the possibility OF sub-aqueous
electrical communication. Thomas a
Edison. the electrical wizard, succeeded
in obtaining telegraphic communication
with moving trains. Morse, Bell. and
others. however. relied on water as the
medium Of transmission. while Ed-
son connected with trains through
the ground. Henry Hertz. a Ger
man specialist was the real father
Of telegraphy through space. His dis
covery. in 1857, Of the so-called electro
magnetic waves made it possible for
Marconi and other inventors TO perfect
wireless telegraphy as known to-day.
Wireless telegraphy has many faults
and peculiarities. but they are being
corrected ana studied carefully by ex-
perimenters all over the world The
faults include greater or less unreliable

IMPORTANT REPORT
MADE To PRESIDENT
LRy Associated Press. l

Washington. July 19.-Co-opera-
tion between the railways and water
ways seems absolutely necessary to
insure a reasonable and efficient use
of the inland water-couFses of this
country.
This conclusion is reached in the
report of Herbert Knox Smith. COM

OF his discussion of the subject of
Transportation by Water which
his bureau has been investigating for
many months. The second part of
the report was transmitted to Presi-
dent Taft today. II deals with ira dio
by water and portions of it are par
ticularly suggestive and significant
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Smith that ''it is public evil that
the entire transportation system of
the United States should be, as now
at odds with itself through destruct-
i've competition, while the transpor-
tation needs of the public suffer"
Traffic in itself" the report CON
tinues, lis a necessity for the proper
development of a waterway. State
and federal work must be supple
mented by private initiative, espe-
cially in terminals and equipment.
and private initiative will come in
only when there is a reasonable
chance of enough traffic to make it
profitable. noe of the great ques-
tions, therefore. is the question of
how to secure for the inland rivers
and canals a reasonable share of the
