WIRELESS TOWER
Will he Six Hundred Feet High and
Located ut Annapolis.

Washington, March 18.-According
to official announcement made today
the 6O0-foot tower which the govern
ment proposes to erect for wireless
telegraph purposes may be located at
Annapolis, Nd, although it is more
likely to be placed in the District of
Columbia. II it is erected here, how
ever, 1t will be at point where it
will not be in the line of vision of the
Washington monument, as it will be
about fifty feet higher than the monu-
ment and would take away from the
lofty grandeur of the latter.
1t will be capable of sending mess
ages 5000 miles and of receiving them
from a distance of 1000 miles. Con-
crete will be used in its construction.
Bids for the concrete work will be in
the hands Of the navy department Of
ficials soon and it is hoped to have the
tower started in about month.

PLENTY OF GAME
Roosevelt Will Find All the Sport He
Wants, Says Traveller.

Mombasa. British East Africa.
March 1s.-1nterest in the prospect
for good sport in the coming season,
stimulated by the coming of Theodore
Roosevelt, has brought detailed re-
ports of the movements of game into
Mombasa. Baron Tallyan de Vizent,
prominent Hungarian, who has just
returned here from q hunting trip,
reports splendid sport with hippopo-
tami on the upper Tana river and for
the shooting Of this game he recon-
mends the district between the
Athiand the Tana rivers. The edand.
gnu and oryx stalking is perfect with
the exception that hunters Of this
game are constantly interfered with
by usually aggressive rhinoceri.
Lions are plentiful, but with some ex-

STRENUOUS RECALL
President Reyes Resigned Because
Mob Demanded His Retirement.

Bogota. March 18.-The rioting
that broke out in Bogota last week
was of very short duration and Of lit
tie consequence. 1t arose from the
opposition of certain politicians to
the submission by the government Of
the tripartite treaty between Column
bia, Panama and the United States to
the legislative body as at present
constituted, instead of to the duly
elected national congress. This lat
ter body has not been in session for
several years. The disorder which
followed the arrest of one of the op-
ponents to the governments course
In this matter was quickly put down
and Bogota is now absolutely quiet.
A crowd Of about 10000 people as
sembled Friday in the main plaza Of
Bogota and demonstrated against the
proceeding. During the meeting
there" was some disorder but it was
not widespread at the time and the
appearance Of troops had salutary
effect.
President Reyes resigned his Office
In difference to the implusive demand
of the malcontents, but he reassumed
it again three days later when it be-
came clear that the people at large
desired him to remain at the head Of
the nation. He will continue in offlce.
The incident has served to coalesce
public opinion in favor OF the govern
ment and there Is no reason to fear
any disturbance of the peace.
There has been no change in the
rate of exchange, and business has in
no way been interrupted.

TUESDAY TO FILE REPORT
Faithful May Not Accept Places on
Committees Not Recommended BY
Minority Leader CIark-Cannon
Wants to be the Supreme judge

Washington, March 1S.-The house
committee on ways and means agreed
today, after its first meeting of full
committee, to report the Payne tariff
bill back to the house without amend
ment. The Democrats were given un-
til next Tuesday to prepare a minority
report. Representative Boussard of
ouisiana voted to report the bill with
out amendment but all the other DEM
ocrats Of the committee voted against
it. The vote was 13 to 6.
May Weaken at Last.
Democratic members of the house
probably will not carry to an extreme
their adherence to their caucus pledge
to accept no committee assignments
unless passed upon by Minority Lead
er Clark. This pledge was made while
the house was acting under old meth
DDS of appointing the committees but
with the resumption by the speaker
of hsi prerogative to himself designate
all the names of the committees, some
of Clarks friends are pointing out,
and the indications are strong, that
there will be little more demonstration
in support of Clark's right to name
the Democratic committeeman.
1t is understood even among the
Democratic members that Cannon
would decline to listen to Clark's sug-
gestions. bur his contention is that
his position as speaker gives him the
right to name all Tie members of the
committees, if he desires to do so.
The most, II not all. OF his predeces-
sors have exercised this prerogative.

MRS: TEAL CONVICTED
Gets Years in Penitentiary for At
tempted BlackmaiIing Scheme.

New York, March 1S.-Although she
didn't secure all the special favors
that fell to the disbarred lawyer, Abe
Hummell, when he went over the
same route. Mrs Ma,agret Teal, the
wife of Ben Teal, the stage director,
and formerly we'll known in St. Paul
society where she was divorced from
w. c. Toomey, was permitted today
to start in taxicab for Blackwell's
island, where she began her sentence
OF one year in the penitentiary which
Judge Malone imposed, after a gene
raj session jury had convicted her of
attempted subornation OF perjury in
manufacturing evidence for the Frank
Gould divorce suit.
Spared Reid III "Black Maria."
While it is not customary to hand
cuff women prisoners in taking them
to the island, they are ordinarily
transported in the Black Maria" from
the Tombs to the charities and cor
rectfons pier at East Twenty-sixth
street, and from there to Blackwell's
on one OF the city boats.
But because of the prominence of
Mrs. Teal's husband and because Of
her fourteen months old daughter
certain notable exception were made
in her case.
At LAS o'clock this afternoon Dep
uty Sheriffs Delehanty and Sellman
brought her from the woman's en-
trance of the Tombs and led her
through the rear gate into Lafayette
street, which was comparatively de-
serted. She was quiet, but pale and
trembling violently. A big closed
automobile was waiting, with Mr.. Teal
and nurse with the Teal baby.
Caresses Child and Weeps.
The deputies with their prisoner en-
tered the car, which headed for the
private municipal pier at East Fifty
second street. Mrs. Teal alternately
caressed the child and wept during
her ride. Her husband vainly sought
to console her as she parted from him
at the pier and went aboard a city
boat.
All special favors ceased for her as
soon as she reached the island. She

in Madison yesterday.
Brother May Lose Reason.
A third brother, George Nichols, is
frantic from grief, and it is feared
that he may lose his reason.
John, George and Robert Nichols
were left orphans when Robert, the
youngest. was a baby. Several years
ago they were separated, the older
brothers going into business for them
selves.
Last summer Robert made a visit
to each of his brothers.
At. Johns farm, the elder brother
introduced him to Miss Somers, a
young neighbor and the belle of the
countryside.
He, too, fell under the spell Of her
charms. But loyalty to the brother
made him conceal his devotion and

Miss Somers, because it would place

MOVING PICTURES
Appellate Court Holds They Are q
Stage Production and Copyrighted.

New York, March 1s.-The United
States circuit court of appeals in de-
cision today ruled that moving pic
ture is stage production" within
the meaning of that term in the copy
right law. The question arose in a
suit brought by Harper & Bros. and
Klaw & Erlanger against the Kalem
company, manufacturers of moving
picture films. to enjoin them from pro-
ducing exhibitions of Ben Hur."
The film manufacturers, while ad-
mitting that the scenes pictured were
taken from Gen. Lew Wallace's book,
urged that the representation was only
an exhibition of pictures" and not a
dramatic performance within the
Of the copyright law. The
courts decision holds that in order to
produce a moving picture 1t is neces-
scary to prepare a synopsis or story
which is in effect a dramatization and
that the author alone has the right to
make or authorize dramatization.
