For Long Distance Service
IL is true that the circuit over

The fact is, that experts, electrical

them in government employ. ard
worn officers, have given the Bur

from one hundred to five hundred
miles, and these have certified under
oath that the machine works as wei
on .ong circuit as on n short one.
Tests made by government experts
at the military post OF Preside, Cal

taken from the official appointed TO

that the Burlingame machine is even
superior to the telephone or the old
time Morse machine.
A Local Demonstration
The machine and it's remarkable
accomplishments were shown in this
city the past week. when at ros-
ular meeting of the Richmond Rail
way Mems Club, its workings were
demonstrated. The meeting of the
railway men was held at Murphy's
Hotel and was attended by over a
hundred railway managers and Off
GERS Of roads centering in Richmond
The demonstrations were made by
'Messrs. Hugo ]. Haas, Mooris I've
and Percy Asmus. 1t Is no secret
that the railway men were charmed
with the operations OF the maching.
and they declare it success already

WISCONSIN BANKERS SAY ROB.
5ERs LOOT BANK IN N. o. OR
Wis. AND DODGE BACK TO
CITIES,

New York, Nov. 22.--The banks OF
the northwest are determined to stop
the many robberies in that section and
are preparing to take extraordinary
steps to secure themselves.
George ID. Bartlett, secretary of the
Wisconsin Bankers association, who is
in the city says the number Of bank
robberies of late was something ex-
traordinary and something had TO be
done to stop It,
He said: Our force OF detectives
win be doubled. The work OF the bank
robbers usually lets up after snow
falls. as il Is impossible for bandits TO
sleep in the open air or in deserted
buildings.
THE Interstate Protective associa-
ton, fostered by bankers OF Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa and the two Da-
kotas, will double it's force OF secret
service men at once. The twin cities
is a hotbed for bank bandits. They
Jump into wisconsin or the Dakotas,
commit robbery and then rush back,
preferably to st. Paul"
Mr.. Bartlett is in New York to get
a few tips from local bankers as well
as from chief of the police detective
bureau.

Washington. Nov. %. - The strain
now almost to the breaking point, il
remains only for the next few days to
show whether the relations between
the United States are to be broken off.
This government has not accepted as
facts beyond all contradiction the ex-
PLANTATION Of Nicaragua touching the
execution of Grace and Cannon in that
country
Sufficient credence is given to the
statements that have been made to the
department of state to prompt inauir-
les into the reasons that moved Pres
ident Zelaya to order the two Ameri-
cans put to death.
Secretary of State Knox himself is
authority for the statement that a de-
mand for reparation will be made upon
Nicaragua should these inquiries de-
velope that the allegations touching
the death of the Americans are wen
grounded
Late last night the secretary declar-
ed himself and the proceedings in
Nicaraguan affairs today will doubtless
be along the line of prosecution OF
the inquiries to ascertain the truth as
to Grace and Cannon. Secretary Knox
is acting with, the full approval Of the

MAGNATE IS
OPTIMISTIC
Decision VIII Result in Ap-
peal Of Anti Trust Law"
WORDS OF JOHN D. ARCHBOLD
BIG CONFERENCE HELD TODAY
BETWEEN STANDARD oil OF
FIcIALs AND COUNSEL TO DIS
cUss FORM OF APPEAL THAT
WILL BE TAKEN TO U. S. s. c.

New York. Nov 22.--Conferences of
the officials and the leading counsel
for the Standard Oil Co. were held in
this city today to begin the work Of
outlining the company's course of ac-
ton following the adverse decision in
the governments suit against the
company rendered on Saturday.
Thirty days are allowed before the
decree of court takes effect and within
that time the form of the appeal which
the corporation announced that 1t
will take to the United States SUI
preme court will have to be perfected.
In speaking of the decision today.
John ID. Archbold, vice president Of
the Standard Oil Co., took an opti-
mistic view Of the situation.
He said: Il believe that the decision
will result in legislation looking to-
ward the repeal of the Sherman anti
trust law, for, under that law, it is
not only impossible for practically any
corporation to transact business but
even a copartnership may be attacked
| believe that the officials at washing
ton are coming to the view that the
law is too drastic and that even Mr..
Roosevelt himself shares in the opin-
ion"
Standard Oil stock was again af-
fected on the curb market today by
the federal courts decision.
The stock versed at $50 on Satur-
day and the first half of today was
$50.
