A GREAT SHOWING
United Wireless Telegraph Co. Now
Controls All the Best Patents
Only Operating Wireless Co.

Owing to having secured some late
patents on wireless Geography and
telephony which are very valuable, to-
gether with the increase of their as
sets and income from commercial bus
mess derived from contracts for equip
ment of a large number of foreign
steamships, the United wireless Tele-
graph Co. advanced the price of it's
stock to $4,000 per share June /.
The United is the only wireless
telegraph company doing a successful
commercial wireless telegraph bust
ness in America. They received con-
tracts for the equipment Of forty-eight
boats during the month of March,
forty-two in the month of April and a
large number in May.
There will be only a limited amount
of this stock sold. There are in the
treasury at the present time $4,000
shares. The company will sell only
the 10000 shares which will leave,
after completing their land stations
and equipment of steamships, 40 per
cent Of the entire issue of stock still
in the treasury. This will leave only
go per cent of the capitalization on
which they will have to pay dividends.
The United Wireless Telegraph
Company own the patents on wireless
telegraphy to such an extent that they
have practically eliminated the chance
for competition. The company has in
its Offices in the Peoples Bank Bldg
certified copies from the United States
Patent Office that they own these
patents.
The company owns it's own factories
for the manufacture OF it's instruments,
having completed a large factory in
Seattle, located at 1926 jackson street,
where it employs a large force of ex-
pert machinists and manufactures COM
plete sets of wireless telegraph instru-
ments. This building is 50x1OO feet,
three stories and basement. It's other
factories are located at Jersey City,

has long stood as landmark in the
eastern part of the city. When it was
built 1t was in a district practically
uninhabited and Astounding in game
and a journey to the site of the pres
emit city hall was a matter of several
hours. Now it stands in one of the
busiest parts of the metropolis and
only few minutes ride from its
center. This venerable structure. how
ever, is soon to be moved not for a
short distance, but a considerable way
into New Jersey. 1t is to be taken
down by sections, shipped by freight
and regretted just as it stood on it's
original site. This undertaking, unique
in the moving records of the city, is
is TO be carried out to conform to the
dying wishes of a woman who was
born in the century old house which
her parents built. and whose descend

While fishing for birds would seem
to be about the last word in the world
of queer sports, there rs nevertheless
one man in this city who makes a
=
ers of this pastime by the sale OF
pigeon poles. Contrary to the general
impression these poles are not used to
support pigeon houses, but actually to
aid in the catching Of these birds. The
poles in question are light bamboo
rods. closely resembling the old-fash-
toned fishing pole. There. however
the resemblance ceases for though
they are used to catch pigeons they
are without line or hook. Instead they
are used by fanciers who raise pigeons
on the city roofs to disturb their birds
and make them fly. BY simply swing
ing the pole around the pigeons are
scared off their home roof and when
they return they are invariably fol-
lowed by a few strange birds which
the fanciers add to their flocks. While
any kind of a pole would undoubted-
ly serve. the bamboo article because
of its lightness is recognized as the
standard bird catching pole and in
the birds that it gets as result of it's
use brings such gains that bird fish
ing is a regularly established IL little
known profession here.

these thoroughfares are unable to

# the sort in either ancient or modern


of the sort in either ancient or modern
history.
Eggs at $1,000 a dozen is rather a
high price. even for New York. Never
theless that is the record which has
just been set here. and with. only a
quarter or dozen of the expensive
eggs available at that. The eggs, how
ever, are not the product of the great
American hen, but of the swan which
makes its home in one of the lakes of
Central Park. Their value lies in the
fact that they are the. eggs of a black
swan, which are almost as scarce as
hens teeth. Various offers of 500
apiece for the three eggs have been
received, but the park authorities have
refused them all. Black swans are
worth from $500 to $500 each, and it
has accordingly been decided to let
Mrs. Swan sit on the eggs in the hope
of some ebony colored sygnets. Ac-
cording for more than five weeks there
will be anxious waiting, since there Is
no means Of predicting whether or
not the birds Matched from the val
liable eggs will be black. If they are
not the speculation in eggs on the part
of the park authorities will be worth
less since $25 a pair is fair price for
young swans of the ordinary kind. If
one egg produces a black swan the
speculation will break even,, while any
further success will show a handsome
profit. One fact which has caused the
keepers some anxiety is that while the
male white swans share with the
females the task Of keeping warm the
eggs, the male black swan refuses a
similar assistance to his mate. She
is being closely watched, however, so
that If she shows any tendency to
neglect her duty, artificial means may
be Immediately adopted to insure the
Matching of the most valuable eggs on
record.

There will shortly be presented for
collection, this time to King George
", >for something like the SEVENTEEN
time, the biggest bill which the world
has ever known or is likely to know
which is held by New York woman
against the English government. Com
pared to it's increditable total, the ma
tionaI debt becomes but a drop in the
bucket, and all the wealth of the rich
est man lin the world would not pay
the interest on it for a week. It's total,
as set forth in the latest accounting
and demand for payment, is $93,799,-
400, 62S, 100, 900, 900, 100000 or more than
ninty-three septillions Of American
money. To pay it would ruin Great
Britain and in fact If it should be
paid the whole British Empire would
become the private property of Miss
Eustaphievo, the claimant, who could
then without missing it present the
British Isles to Father Knickerbocker
as playground. AS matter of fact
there is not money enough in the
whole world to settle this obligation
and it therefore has a very slim
chance of being paid. Most of the
is an inherited one and dates back
nearly 700 years. During the hundred
years war between England and
France the italian banking house Of
the Peruzzi, from whom the present
| holder of the claim Is descended f.
nanced the campaigns of King Edward
, III. For the money thus advanced a
bill has been presented to the British
| government every ten years and 1t Is
| largely the interest which has been
| piling up enormously during seven
| centuries which now gives the account
its unbelievable total. Curiously
enough the bill has never been re.
| pudiated, it has simply been neglect
| ed" But whether or not it is valid
| 1t certainly is not collectable for the
| simple reason that there is not enough
| money in existence to pay it. A set
element on basis of even 81 on every
million would still mean a payment of
more than nine quintillions of money.

THREAT TO CLOSE
THEATERS NOT
CARRIED OUT
City Agrees to Withhold Actor
and Not Revoke Licenses I'm
til Appeal Case is Heard.

An agreement was entered into yes
terday morning between counsel for
the Pastime and Crystal theaters and
the city Of albuquerque to the effect
that neither the theaters nor the mu-
nicipality Will take any further action
IN the controversy over the failure OF
the playhouse proprietors to pay the
special firemen appointed by the city
for service In the theaters, until an APP
peal ease now pending in the district
cnurt is heard before Judge Ira A.
Abbott.
Edward ID. Cameron, appointed by
the city to serve as special fireman at
the Crystal, sued the theater in the
Justice court for S72. alleging that
the proprietors of the playhouse had
refused to pay him his wages. The
case went by default and judgment
was entered against the theater. An
appeal was taken to the district court
and has not yet been taken up by
Judge Abbott. In the meantime the
city council adopted n resolution to
the effect that the theatcr must nay
Cameron his money or suffer n re-
vocation OF its license.
A petition for an injunction filed
in the district court Thursday by the
theater people, asking hat Il restrain
Ing order be issued against the city
authorities, preventing them from
closing the Crysal and -Pastime, until
the appeal ease could be heard, was
not argued yesterday morning. the
city officials agreeing tn suspend ac-
ton until the court considered the ac-
ton now pending.
According to the terms of tho ulti-
matum adopted by the city council
several days ago, the theaters would
be closed at u o'clock noon yesterday
unless the iircmen were paid, but as
tho result of the stipulation entered
by all parties concerned, the
p%layhousos continued to operate and
viii probably continue to do SO until
the court rules on the appeal case.
