 Morse Lamp Sighted
 It was the Morse lamp, winking it's message through the darkness that just preceded the dawn of Tuesday morning and not the wireless that first attracted the attention of those aboard the royal mail ship Trent to the distressed afr ship Stanley Angel, ordinary sea- man of IS years, and George Sangster, an able seaman. had the early morning watch Angel saw ahead of him, high up in the northeast, faint light. At first" said the boy, in narrating his ex- perience tonight, "I thought it was the morning star. Then l saw two faint red lights beside the white one and next made out a dark blur against the sky. Then the white kept winking, and then knew it was signal and report ed to C. J. Fitzgerald, the fourth officer in charge of the watch.'
 Fitzgerald notified w. H. Lanison, the chief officer By this time the outline of the airship had been made out against the moonlit sky and Lanison called Captain Down out of his berth.
 "H-e-I-p, h-e-I-p," the white electric lamp on the America was signalling to the steamer.
 When l came on deck" said Captain Down, 'Ine dl1Sulp was pidluly NlSipic. In the light of the full moon she looked enormous, hanging low in the north east and close at hand. In reply to our sig nals she told us her name and that she ,vae in distress and asked us to stand by"
 Wireless Is Used
 Then the wireless was called into use and between Louis M Ginsburg, oper- ator on the Trent, and Jack Irwin, the operator in the life boat of the America, passed a series of messages that will stand in history as the first wireless communication between a ship at sea and a ship in the air. Here are the mes sages copied from Ginsburg's record on the Trent:
 Trent-"Do you want our assist ance?"
 America-"Yes, come at once; in dis | tress. We are drifting. Not under con- | trol."
 Trent-"What do you want us to do?' | America-"Come ah cad full speed, but keep astern as we have heavy tail"
 Trent-"O. K. am standing by, wire less in case of trouble" | America-"You will pick us up al daylight You will be better able to sec us then"
 | America-"Come in close and put bow | of your ship under us as we drop z line, but do not stop your ship as vol will capsize us.'
 America-"Who are you and whers are you bound for?"
 Trent-"Steamship Trent for New York"
 America-"Have one of your boat

Selma, October 19.-(Special.)-E Geers, the veteran Grand circuit driver, is making & deal for the purchase of the Selma race track. It will be known within the next few days whether the deal will go through and if it does it will mean a great deal for Selma as it will bring to this city several hundred of the Grand circuit campaigners each year to spend the winter months.

The cer- emony was witnessed by a number of friends and relatives of the young couple who came to Selma this morning.
 
 A special meeting of the city council of Selma was held last night, upon peti- ton of a number of residents of the west ern part of the city. Some days ago sev- eral people and children in the western part of the city were bitten by a dog which 1t later developed was suffering with rabies and the citizens then peti toned the council to give them better protection from worthless dogs which roam the streets.
 An ordinance was passed by which it Is required that owners of dogs shall keep them muzzled if they run at large 1lpon the streets. The ordinance went into effect this morning and will con tinue for the next 30 days.

TOLi uRTi RENT DISPUTE.

Decision Now Come 10 Terms.

The long dispute between the trustees
of Columbia University and the lease
holders of property OH Fifth avenue and
the side ~ reefs between Forty eighth and
Fifty-trSt streets over the increase IN
ground rent has been settled. Four years
ago the trustees set out To rsadJust the
rents paid by thirty to forty of its tenants.
Al that time the tenants paid per cent.
Of the appraised value OF the ground.
In the new schedule the rate was ra la.sd
from 3. To- I per cent. Of the assessed
value.
Tn. Iea-.holders contended that the
increased rent. together with Ia xes. insur
ance and other carrying charges. would
leave them NO margin for the interest
on the money they had invested in the
Improvement Of the property. Tn. trus-
tees cun'-nded that IN. reimbursement was
not un ulsJ because Of the great Incrra ~
in values which was trough; about by the
building up Of the neighborhoOd by the
leaseholders a. fashionable part Of
town.
