said it was possible for the inhabitants
of Hawaii and possibly the astron-
omers at the Lick Observatory in Cali
fornia to detect in the darkness the
passage of the earth through the tail.
Professor Russell added that the
reason why most astronomers had not
been able to tell that the tail was curv-
ed. was because they had been looking
at the tail edgewise.
Mr.. Daniel. who also noticed the
light in the east shortly before A. NJ,
expressed the belief that the passage
of the earth through the tail would
make the curve more pronounced. The
time at which the earth made the pas =
sage. he said. could not be ascertaine1
at Princeton. because the arc Of the
curve was not known there.
Mr.. Daniel explained that it was not
unusual for comet tails to be curved

fact that the losses were continuous
According to Assistant District Attor-
ney VIM. II. Garland. who made the
opening address today. Coleman began
stealing from the bank in 1906 and took
$4,000 in a year in a vain effort to win at
faro, with the aid of man known as
"Jacg" Then came a year and half
of virtue, but in May, 1909. Coleman met
Keliher and once more listened to the
tempting words of great winnings gained

of the present year the assets of the
bank were transferred in 5000 and $4,000
lots to the gamblers in New York. always
with the certainty that just one more
play would be sufficient to make up all
the losses.
Mr.. Garland declared that Keliher
personally advised the taking of the

In fact when Coleman cried

Garland said that Keliher made every
effort to settle with Coleman in order
to hush his (Keliher's) connection with

The government then called four

NO INTERFERENCE NOTICED
BY Commercial Telegraph or Wireless
Companies Because Of Comet.

Chicago, May Recommended tele-
graph companies feared the passage
of the earth through the comets tail
would have an effect upon their wires
similar to that of the aurora borealis,
which is responsible for ground cur
rents. playing havoc with the trans
mission of dispatches.
No disturbances were reported. how
ever, except slight interference
which, was felt on the wires of one
company between Vancouver and
Regina, in northwestern Canada.
Even this was not believed to be at
tributable to the comet. as auroral
displays in the Far North are not un-
usual at this season of the year. None
of the wireless companies reported in
reference with the transmission of
dispatches.
