BOY BlNNS FIGHT
CURB ON WIRELESS
NEW YORK YOUNGSTERS TO
PROTEST NEW BILL
Going to Washington to Tell Solons
They Have No Right to Pass
Law Restraining
Experiment

NEW YORK, March 14.-Headed by
Master w. e. G.. Stokes jr., a delega-
ton of boy amateur wireless operators
from New York will go to Washington
this week to protest against the pro-
posed legislation aiming to prevent
amateurs from setting up instruments
in a zone where the sending might in
terfere with government messages.
Master Stokes, 10 years old, is presi-
dent of the Junior Wireless club, an or
ganization of thirty boys who have be-
come experts in wireless telegraphy.
A formal statement of their position
prepared by the boys themselves and
given out from the Stokes home on
upper Broadway, was made public
today.
ut is very wrong" says the state
ment, "for the wireless companies to
ask congress to prevent studious Amer
lean boys from competing for the mill
lions and millions of dollars which will
come to the persons who make the val
liable discoveries in the future in
wireless.
"They talk about interference by
boys. What they need is skilled oper-
ators and up-to-date apparatus. Then
they could cut out the interference
without any of this small business of
trying to put us boys out. Some day
we will be men and our government
may be glad to profit by the discover
les which we hope to make in perfect
ing the wireless system of today"

takings of its kind ever attempted, Is

MITCHELL JOINS FIGHT FOR
WORKINGMAN'S DAY OF REST
Says Excessive Toll Debases Whole
WorId-FIays Corporations for
Slave Driving Theory

NEW YORK, March 14-John Mitch
ell, former president of the United Mine
Workers of America, is one of the
leaders in a crusade for the stricter
observance of Sundays which has just
been started here.
Mr.. Mitchell and his fellow crusaders
aim to obtain for every workingman,
no matter what his trade or business,
one day of rest in seven.
Corporations" said Mr. Mitchell,
"are great believers in the saying that
the devil finds some work for Tide
hands to do. They try to keep the
workman at his bench on the theory
that the more work he does the nobler
he gets. But work in excess is debas-
ing, and the world over it has been
found that one day of rest elevates
the moral tone of the men who toll"
1t is estimated that more than 10000
workingmen in New York alone are
compelled to labor on the Sabbath.
Mr.. Mitchell and his coworkers propose
amendments to the state law which
will remedy this condition.

KNOX IS WATCHING
MANCHURlA CLOSELY
SITUATION GIVING CONCERN
DESPITE DENIALS
Secretary of State and Baron
Uchida Have Held Frequent
Conferences Over the
Question

WASHINGTON, March H.-Although
it Is denied in official quarters that
there is any prospect of serious disa-
greement with Japan over the ques-
ton of Manchuria. despite the Wig
orous warning of a great commercial
struggle in the far east delivered by
Jacob II. Schiff. the New York banker,
a few days ago. 1t is known that the
matter of the United States CONNER
cial rights in Manchuria is giving
grave concern to the government. In
plain terms it IS asserted that Japan
and Russia have reached an agree
ment to shut other nations out of
Manchuria and to impair Chinese
rights in the great province without
regard to the open door principle
formulated by Secretary. Hay and
agreed to by the powers.
The rejection by Japan and Russia
of Secretary Knox's proposal that
China construct a railroad across
Manchuria in. order TO develop that
country for foreign trade is considered
evidence of an understanding between
the two powers reached. or course,
since their recent great war. Some
years ago the United States sent to
Manchuria cotton goods alone to the
value of $1O.000.QD0 annually, but this
trade has fallen off greatly. Man
churia is a very good country for
wheat growing. and hopes have been
entertained that the nations might find
there source of supply of breadstuffs
when their own resources reached
their limit.
Frequent conferences have been held
of late at the state department be-
tween Secretary Knox and Baron
Uchida, Japanese ambassador to the
United States. At the head of the
Japanese empires negotiations with
other countries is Baron Komura, min
lister for foreign affairs, who was for
merry the mikados envoy to this
country.

ENGLEBR!GHT TO

FINDS DATA TO SUPPORT EX-
PLORER'S FIGURES
WILL COMPEL COMMITTEE TO
ACT REGARDING AWARD
Alaskan Mall Carriers Records Show
Longer Daily Journeys Than
Lieutenant Claimed In
His Proofs

WASHINGTON March 14-Repre-
sentative Englebright. Republican, of
California, the only member of the
house committee who favored bestow-
ing congressional honors on Com
mander Peary without an inspection
of the explorers proofs, does not In
tend to let the matter rest.
He says he will compel the commit
tee to vote definitely for or against
Peary award If he can. The various
bills for the Peary award are still be-
fore the committee.
Mr.. Englebrlght has, by thorough
search of the record, dug UP interest
ing data concerning the speed that
can be made in Arctic travel The prin-
cipal point made against Peary in the
committee is that he could not have
made the speed which he claimed In
his final dash for the pole. This speed
was thirty miles day in the journey
to the pole and fifty miles day on
his return trip.
A. d. Nash, a former government
mail carrier in Alaska, is quoted by
Mr.. Englebright as making a 14OO-mile
trip from Dawson to Nome with dogs
and sledges In twenty-six days, or
fifty-four miles a day. A single trip
by Mr. Nash from Candle Creek to
Neubluk. "A distance of 102 miles. is
said to have been made in seventeen
hours. with mail and a woman passen-
ger on the sledge.
An average of 121 miles a day Is said
to have been made by the winning dog
team in the race of the Nome Kennel
club of Alaska over a 412-mile course,
the full time being 50 hours and
minutes.
Mr.. Englebright says that Represent
alive Macon, who made the chief at
tack on Mr.. Pearys record, did not
quote fully enough from Greely's
record. which shows that Lockwood
made sledge trips averaging thirty-one
and one-half miles a day, instead of
nine miles, as stated by Mr. Macon.

TO PREVENT EXPLOSIONS
IN MINES BY NEW PLAN
Coal Loosened by Water Does Away
with NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
in Germany Successful

WASHINGTON, March "A new
method of preventing explosions of
coal dust in mines has been tried with
good results in some German mines,
according to Richard Guenther, Amer
lean consul at Frankfort, Germany.
Water is introduced under high
pressure into a deep-bored hole of a
coal body, the hole is closed, and the
pressure allowed to act upon the coal
until water is forced out through the
assures. The coal body is thus thor
oughly wet and so loosened that the
coal can be broken out with the
miners pick, and blasting is avoided.
