UNUSUAL PHENOMENON AT

OF THE WIRELESS TELE-

Saturday, July II. 1909

SAN FRANCISCO, July IL
The steamer Mariposa, arriving
at San Francisco from Tahiti, re-
ports a peculiar discovery regard
ing wireless telegraphy. While
riding at anchor off the coast of
this tropical isle, the United Wire
less operator aboard began send
ing aerograms to the station in
the Hawaiian islands. 1t was one
of those perfectly clear moonlight
nights such as are found nowhere
except in the tropics.
Between the vessel and the
shore were a number of natives,
entertaining the tourists by diving
for small coins. When the wire
less instruments started to work
there was commotion among the
startled natives. Some spluttered
for breath and seemed to be sink
ing, without being able to move
their muscles. Others splashed on
the surface in an attempt to get
to shore. When the wireless OPP
orator ceased sending, the natives
regained control of their limbs.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 16.
When 1t comes to dealing In
large figures, no man in public life
can compare with Francis G. New
lands, senator from Nevada. New
lands is a perfect Hercules in the
welding of the large denomina-
tions.
Listen to this: (Cong. Record
p. 1882 "Only $770,0O0,O0O
worth of commodities slipped into
this county over the tariff wall"
Please note the only"
Senator Newlands was speaking
He was deploring the
heavy tax on necessities resulting
from the tariff. He said "The total
production in this country of COM
modities covered by this tariff, in
clude in it's dutiable list products
which aggregate in value thir-
teen and a half billion dollars"
Gin figures that would look this
way: $13,500,000,000.00.)
A moment later Newlands re-
marked that "the manufacturers
of this country have added to the
cost of production abroad, of 9
similar quantity of commodities
$4,000,000,000."
1t is seldom that Senator New.
lands gets below billions, and he
has been known to run into 13
figures
No matter what the subject UP
for legislation, Senator Newlands
begins operations by taking a fin
ancial birdseye view of the whole
affair, including the surrounding
country. He climbs up into a
rarefied mental atmosphere, from
which the individual dollar looks
so small that it is only a speck of
sand, hundreds look like pebbles,
thousands are not more than small
rocks, and millions are hardly big
ger than paving blocks. In that
way he gets perspective on
things. He has a wider and prob
ably a better financial perspec
tive than any man in public life.
All of which makes Newlands a
unique man in American public
life. This habit of his of getting
a real broad perspective on legis-
lation Is INDUCED by no other
member of either branch Of con-
gress. In fact. most members of
congress have a worms eye view"
of legislation. They see things
only from the low, narrow point
of view of the little local interest.
1t is refreshing to see New
lands looking down on the legis-
lative world through his statistical
field glasses. and hearing him map
It all out In terms of millions.
billions, trillions. quadrillions,
Quintillions - or whatever the
higher denominations arel The
Arabic numericals are rather linn
tied for NewIands.
The queer thing about Newlands
is that he Is really progressive.
Instead of standing and fighting
for things as they are, he stands
and fights for things as they ought
to be. Perhaps one reason for this
is to be found in the fact that he
was not born to wealth. As boy
and as young man he had HIS
struggles, and his encounters with
However this may be.

MYSTERY IN PORTLAND
SHOOTING DEEPENS

he declared today, 'but I'm not
going to tell you fellows his name
because l do not intend to prose-
cute"
This makes the third different
story Bracket has told concern
ing the shooting. When he was
removed from the street corner,
where the bullet was fired, he
stated that he had been held up.
When he failed to make good with
that version, he named two in
nocent men as his assailants.
When Main and Quimby each
proved an alibi, Bracket was cor
nered, so he simply told the police
that he recognized one of his as
sailants, but would not divulge his
name.
The detectives still cling to the
heory that a woman is at the
bottom of the case.

CHICAGO, July IT. - Mrs.
David Beatty of England, daugh-
ter of the late Marshall Field, will
not have to wait year to secure
the income from her share of the
estate left by her millionaire mer-
chant father. According to de-
cision given in the probate court
yesterday by Judge Cutting, the
claim of the executors of Fields
will that according to legal tenets
the income from the legacy was
not available until one year after
the death of the testator, was le-
clared invalid. Cutting decided
that the matter of income was dis
tince from the principal, and was
due from the death of the testator.
