A BOUT eight brief years ago a

incrclulous and jccring public that he
knew how to send telegraph dispatches

Guglielmu Marconi. and at that time,
January, 1901. the young Italian had
actually succeeded With primitive
wireless appliance in sending rraCti-
cal kilograms over Il distance Of scE-
eral miles
Since that date half dozen systems
Of wireless telegraphy have been pat
cnted, and today each important ma
ton has its own methods and manu-
features its own special apparatus. 1t
is only fair to state that the system
of Marconi is the one most in use, and
the one which furnishes the marvellous
transoceanie wireless dispatch service
now used by the newspaper
world. as well rs the principal >ervir"
for wireless dispatching of rriEat"
messages across the Atlantic.
Wireless has lost scme of its first
bloom of novelty and mystery. Sti!l.

its basic principles, and most people
are still uncertain as to the character
and appearance of the ordinary ap-
paratus employed in sending the wire

SHOCKING MURDER AT SELMA,
Step-Father Killed at Selma, n. c.. by
Girl Whom He Threatened-Crus!l
ed His Skull With an Axe.

Raleigh. y. c., July 12.-Joe Pull
ley was chopped to death with an axe
while he lay sleeping in his hons
near Selma, early today. Pulley's 12-
year step daughter, Marie Pulley
is charged with the killing. Pulley's
threat that he would whip the girl
and drive her from home is under
stood to have furnished a motive for
the killing.
Pulley lived several hours after his
skull had been crushed in several
places.
A special to the News and Obser-
YER from Selma says:
1T seems that the girl had been for
couple of years treated unmerciful-
ly by her step-father, and was in
mortal fear that he would kill her.
Last night after he had told her that
he would whip her half to death this
morning. and then drive her from
home. she planned to kill him. This
morning, while he lay sleeping on a
pallet, she went into the yard. got
an axe and struck him twice, crush
ing his skull. He lived. however,
with brains oozing from six holes in
his head. until o'clock this after
noon.
The wife, who was his third, SEEM
ed hardly to realize what had hap
pened, or the enormity of the crime.
The girl is not her daughter, but the
alleged illegitimate daughter of the
mans second wife.
Joe Pulley, 1t is said, has been en-
gagged at various times in his life in
an Illicit distillery, and has to his
credit the killing Of four men. and
lately he has sold most of his furni-
ture and household goods, saying he
was going to send his wife and two
children to their former home in
Fender County, and leave the girl,
Marie, in Neuse River swamp until

COTTON BAGG|NG TAXED.
TARIFF CONFEREES SIRE To
TAKE THIS OFF EXEMPT LIST
Jute Butts Probably Free-Soutb is
Much Interested i'm These Features
OF Measure-COnfcrees Are Also
Likely to Reduce Rate Oh Coal
Objections Urged.

| Washington, July 12.-That cotton
| bagging, which was put on the free
| Est by the senate, is not to remain
| undutiable, is one of the first predic-
| tions made in regard TO the pronoso,l
| action Of the conference committee
| OH the tariff bill. The house con-
| ferees contend that a number of
American manufacturers Of cotton
| bagging would be compelled to shut
down if that article should remain on
the free list, and it is said that the
senate conferees will not need much
| urging to agree to return bagging to
the duitable list.
Jute and jute butts, from which
cotton bagging is made, have been
transferred to the dutiable list by the
|, senate, but as jute was on the free
list in the Dingley bill, as we'll as the
Payne bill, the duty probably will be
taken off in conference
Another prediction made with re-
gard to the action Of the conferees. is
that the duty on coal, which is sixty
cents in the senate bill as compared
with sixty-seven cents in the existing
law, will be finally agreed upon at
forty cents in conference
The house placed bituminous coal
OH the free list, but what the bill was
about to be passed, serious opposi-
ton arose on account Of the free pro-
vision for coal, which depended upon
reciprocal provision to become ef-
fective. In order to satisfy the desire
Of those who did not want reciprocal
free COAL the house leaders told them
TO have their request incorporated in
the senate bill, and it is now believed
that forty cents ton will be agreed
upon as compromise.
The house and senate conferees
met again today at 10 O'Clock, and
proceeded with the consideration of
amendments in numerical order. The
low tariff men on the house confer
ence committee objected to an in
crease Of thirty-five cents per square
foot made by the senate in the house
rate on card clothing, when made
with face clothing containing wool.
This is an increase over the Dingley
rate and was evidently made to cover
the wool used.
Similar objections are exp .cted
with reference to the countervailing
duty on petroleum, the placing of
hides on the free list, and the return
Of cocoa to the non-duitable list.
These are to be among the most
strongly contested schedules.
