Chief Electrician Rice imparts the

This Is the most vital part OF the

ing the method OF arranging the aerlai

During the 30.day term, with daily
practice of six hours and thorough
scientific and systematic drilling, the
wireless aspirants have been so per
fected in the art that they are com
petent to enter any ship or shore sta
ton OF the navy. They are able tt
flash a message from 100 to 1,OO'

What was considered the dream OF
a visionary inventor few years ago
wireless telegraphy-is now an &C.
cepted fact, and the most skepticai
admit its practical use When the war
and navy departments assign omcers
TO develop the new invention and De-
gin to drill recruits as operators, says
Lillian E. Zeh. in an article IN Inc
Christian Herald.
Our government has decided 10
make the most extensive use OF wire
less of all the nations Of the world
and the navy department has just
asked bids for the erection OF a hign'
uowered station in Washington. TINS
will keen the navy officers in toucn
with ships 1000 miles out at sea, ooth
night and day. The recent triumph
Of wireless in summoning quick aid 10
the Republic, thus saving thousands
of lives. has forcibly demonstrated the
great value of this method OF commu-
nication. The practical training OF
Young sailor electricians for this new
and important branch OF the service
has been progressing rapidly since
the day Marconi startled the world
nv sending his message across Doth
sea and land without the aid OF pole
and wire.
The wireless school is quartered IN
= Tho second story of the Bureau or
Equipment building in the Brooklyn
navy yard, and the students live on
hoard the receiving ship Hancock.
Lieutenant Commander Williams,
IT. s. N, is executive officer OF the
electrical and wireless school. and
Chief Electrician Rice is the principal
instructor. The class now being
drilled in this new branch OF naval
work have come up from the electrical
class located below, where for three
months they have been put through
a course OF study on electricity In gen.
eral. The general course is especially
anplicable to ship and station require
ments. where they are destined to be
sent for future duty. Actual work Is
given in the handling Of electrical ma
chinery, dynamos, and the manipulate
ing of the electrical switchboard
which regulates the interior communi
cation of a modern battleship. Aftel

Laura Davis, Fleming and his wife and two children lived at No. 1908 West Eighth avenue. Fleming for merly worked in the meat market at the Sawyer & Austin commissary. On Tuesday Fleming's wife, Goldina Fleming, went to the office of Attor- neys Caldwell and Brockman and told Attorney Caldwell that she wanted to get divorce. Arrangements were made for filing the papers. She left there and returned Wednesday morn ing, accompanied by Fleming. While they were ill the office the woman said she desired divorce because her hus- band had been drinking for more than a year; that he spent all the money they both earned and that she had to support their two children and she thought it best 10 separate legally. Fleming did not take kindly to the divorce, but finally agreed to sign a power of attorney with his wife, agree ing to separation. They left the of flee together. Nothing was said by Fleming or the woman about her mother.
 Laura Davis was the wife of Andy Johnson, notorious negro who was hanged for murder i'll this city some years ago. Her murderer is mem- Der of & family of negroes who have figured prominently in the criminal records in this county for some years past. His brother, Fluke Fleming was hanged for rape in this city and an uncle, Sam Fleming, was lynched by a mob at McGehee, Ark, a little more than year ago.
 Notwithstanding her connections the Davis woman, who was murdered yesterday, bore good reputation among her people. She was hard working, industrious negress and had many friends among the white resi- dents here. Her daughter, Fleming s wife, also enjoys good reputation and is regarded as a hard working peaceable negress.
