Chats With Delegation

The president received the delegation
and chatted with its various members
for Is minutes or more. Representative
Goldfogle of New York acted as spokes-
man for the party, and so adroitly had
the situation been handled by Secretary
Norton that not one of the callers knew
of the incident until Representative
Harrison returned to the capitol and
there stated that he had been rebuffed
by the president.
Taft based his refusal to see Harri-
son on statements attributed by news
papers to the representative in connec-
tion with his resolution in the house
calling upon Attorney General Wicker
sham for full information as to the con-
nection filis office with the Ballinger-
Pinchot episode. Harrison, according
to the White House version of the mat
ter, charged the president and. the at

WIRELESS MESSAGE
MAY LINK OCEANS
De Forrest Predicts Service
Overland Between Pacific
and Atlantic

The day is not far distant, according
to Lee de Forrest. the wireless tele-
graph inventor, when we shall be wire
lessing overland between the Pacific
and Atlantic
De Forrest arrived yesterday and
registered at the Manx hotel. He is
here primarily to install on the gov
ernment transport Buford his new
noiseless and sparkless machine. A per-
manent wireless station for telegraph
and telephone communication is also
among the things he hopes to accom-
plish during his visit.
The new device invented by De For
rest that is now being installed on the
Buford is said to be more efficient than
any machine hitherto invented. The
transmitter sends out 1900 impulses a
second and gives the receiving end a
high. clear note which is translated bv
the Morse code. The signals are more
easily read through atmospheric inter-
terence and discharges than the old
style of spark telegraphy, De Forrest
says, and because of it's efficiency he
believes the wireless companies will be
able to enter into active competition
with the land wires.
MAY COMPETE WITH CABLES
In a short time we expect to com
pete with the Pacific cables De For
rest said yesterday. The first install
lation of cur new machine will be
made shortly. with which we will be
able to communicate with the Hawaiian
islands from this port. We expect to
erect a tower $50 feet high. equipped
with a Is horsepower battery. which
will send messages to Honolulu
Il think that in two years we will
be able to send messages across the
Pacific with ease. BY next January
we hope to have the Metropolis tower
finished in New York, from which we
can transmit from that station to the
Eiffel tower in Paris.
Overland wireless, while more diff
iicult than that across the water. is
daily becoming more of a commercial
factor in telegraphy. Because of the
which is about one-tenth OF the cost
of wire telegraphy, we hope to become
active competitors with the transeon-
tinental telegraph lines in a short
time.
PLAN TO RELAY MESSAGES
1--WE doubtless will have to relav
our messages. but we can do this with
out loss of time and.littIe expense We
are establishing stations for mes
sages from Seattle to Calgary to
Moose Jaw to Winnipeg to Chicago
From Chicago we have wireless com
munication to New York. thus com
pieting the chain across the country,
De Forrest says that his new spark
less machine will transmit messages
three or four times as far as fhe
spark apparatus.

Had Made Engagement

Harrison was first quoted as having
said that he could assign no reason for
the presidents action today He had
made the enga cement with the presi-
dent some 10 days a go and had received
no intimation that his presence at the
White House was undesirable.
Secretary Norton was at first unwill-
ing to discuss the incident. Later, when
he was Informed of the statements of
Harrison, he told the story. He said
the president had no purpose of public
ly humiliating the congressman, as had
been charged, and that nothing would
have been said regarding the affair if
Harrison himself had not made the
matter public. Norton said it was his
understanding that Harrison expressly
desired that nothing should be said.
Norton said that during the con-
gressional receiving hour he noticed
Representatives Harrison and Gold
Keliher of Massachusetts with the
party of rabbis at the head of the line
awaiting admission to the presidents
office. He spoke to all the members of
the party and few moments later in
formed the president of their pres
ence- Taft said that he would be glad
to receive every member of the dele
cation but Harrison. He declared that
because of the statements made by
Harrison he did not desire to speak

Money for Landmarks

A resolution was adopted appropri-
ating $1,000 for current expenses dur
ing the ensuing fiscal year for the
preservation of landmarks.
The per capita tax for the year was
put at SLY.
The resolutions introduced by A.
Caminetti to commit the order to assist
the state legislature in preparing a
roster of pioneers and in marking the
emigrant trails in the state, was
passed.
The proposal that the constitution
be amended SO that parlors may accept
members who would not receive sick
benefits failed to carry.
In accordance with resolution in
troduced by Nathan Coghlan, commit
tee will be appointed to consider the
feasibility of establishing junior
order of Native Sons for boys between
IA and IS years.
An important change in the admins
tration of the order was erected today
by the passage of resolution con-
stituting a court of appeals of five past
grand presidents, to be selected by the
grand president. Under the former sys-
tenn the grand president had jurisdic-
tion on all appeals made from the rll-
ings of subordinate parlors That power
viii now be vested in the court of an
peals.
The grand parlor defeated the resolu-
tion that plans be made to held the ses-
sion of the grand parlor of 1912 at
Catalina island, on theg round that such
action would be premature at present
and that an invitation should come from
the Los Angeles parIors.
The memorial day of the order was
changed to May 80, to conform with the
legal holiday.
Resolutions were adopted thanking
the press for its consideration of the
grand parlor, and especially The Cali
for its work in bringing its papers 70
Tahoe nearly II hours ahead of all
other San Francisco newspapers.
BONNER PARTY SURVIVORS
An affecting scene occurred at tbe
close of the grand parlor when Mrs
Frances E. Wilder, a daughter of Can
tain Donner and one of the eight sur
vivors of the III fated Donner party.
which had its tragic experience at
Donner lake, near Truckee, was pre-
sented to the lodge. Mrs. Wilder lives
at Byron, Contra Costa county, and she
was introduced to the grand parlor by

Politics Barred

On the ground that it involved a po-
litical issue the grand parlor today null
lifted the effect of the ship subsidy
| resolution passed yesterday The reso-
luton originally passed provided that
the order should memorialize congress
to pass legislation favoring ship sub
sidy along the lines proposed by the
American merchant marine league. A
resolution was offered today calling for
the appointment of a committee TO
carry out the provisions of the original
resolution. This was defeated on a
point of order
John f. McDougald's Hindu exclusion
resolution was allowed to linger in
committee, to come up next year.
At the mornig session, nj spite of the
excitement of the election. considerable
business was transacted.
The grand parlor appropriated 81 500
for the establishment and the expenses
for one year of the fellowship in Pa
cific coast and California history at the

forgiveness Withheld

fa the Itsel household there was
immediate CONSERVATION. The parents.
intensely indignant at their daughters
action, were not ready with the ex-
pected forgiveness and, though a week
has flown by. neither side has shown
amy sign Of giving in. Mrs Burton
has not called at her fathers home.
and her parents have not called at the
Grand hotel where she and her hus-
band are staying temporarily.
From the very beginning the ro-
nance met with the opposition of the
parents. Burton, a young businessman,
for'. some reason or other. did not
meet the requirements of the father
and failed TO measure up TO the stand
ard of the mother. The daughter. an
exceptionally pretty girl OF p years,
was given 10 understand plainly that
she was not FOR Burton from the par
ehtsl point Of view; but she had views
of her own on the subject, and these
She held to despite all opposition. The
climax was launched with dramatic
suddennoss. Not whisper was there
of her Intentions; not the least indica-
tiOn OF her purpose. When she left
the house Friday it was to take a
walk, and the first intimation her rela-
tives had of her marriage was when
they received the fateful telephone

Parents Uncommunicative

Since that time the father and mother
shave shut themselves in their home
practically. Telephone calls and the
ringing Of the front door bell have
been ignored and what little conversa-
tTon tlfey have had with outsiders has
been through a closed window. No
attempt is made by either the father
or the mother to hide their indigna-
tion and though they have evaded dis
GUESSING the situation they have made
it evident without the least doubt
that their attitude toward Burton has
not changed.
The daughter meets them with
determination equal to their own. And
discord rules. Another daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. ItselI married James To-
bin and lives in Eddy street She has
endeavored to bring peace between the
warning factions, but without much
success. The parents viii leave for
the country tomorrow and there is
hope that before their departure they
viii arrive at some peaceable under
standing with the newly married pair,
Sbqt the hope is exceedingly slender.

Norton Does 1t Nicely

Secretary Norton thereupon invited
Harrison into his Office. saying he had
some affairs to discuss with him. Mean
time he had the party shown into the
presidents Office at the appointed hour
and asked Goldfogle to introduce the
callers in Harrison's absence.
1t was the first time Norton had ever
met Harrison, and when the two were
alone the secretary said he was ex-
tremely sorry that the first meeting
should be the occasion of a disagree
able duty. He told Harrison that the
president would not see him.
Harrison. according to Norton, said
he thought he knew why it was-the
statement he had made regarding the
connection of the president and the
attorney general with the Ballinger-
