MASTERY OF FOG ATTAINED
New Wireless Instrument on La
Provence Gives Bearings.

The French liner La Provence attract
ed unusual attention at Quarantine and
along the waterfront yesterday by new
and enormous wireless antenna spread
Just aft of the forward funnel which was
installed in Havre week ago yesterday.
The antenn@ is used in connection with
a new instrument called the Compass
Azimutal Hertziennes,'' which enables
the commander of a vessel carrying it to
detect to a degree his bearing with any
ship or land station sending wireless
messages.
Captain Pohcelet and the ships wire
less operator were elated with the sue
cess of the instrument during the
passage from Havre which ended
yesterday. The Provence encountered
q patch of it got into wireless commune
cation with the Holland-America liner
Potsdam and the French liners Chicago
and La Lorraine. With the instrument
Captain Poncelet was able to detect his
relative position with all these steamers
and furnish them with this information.
The device, which was invented by Sig
nor BeIlini and Signor Tosi, of the Ital-
ian navy will enable all steamships
carrying it TO determine their relative
positions with ship and shore when re-
ceiving wireless waves. All steamships
of the French Line will be equipped with
the instrument.

Charles r. Heike, the secretary OF the

Mr.. Schneider made up the tables
showing the differences between the
government weight of raw sugar and the
weight found by the weighers employed
nv the company in Williamsburg, at the
Hsyemeyer & Elder refinery. These
tables have figured at the several trials.
and Mr. Schneider has been witness
TO testify to them. In the examination
of the company's papers it was these
tables which aided the government
largely in preparing its general case,
apart from the discovery of the steel
spring by Richard Parr
1t was said by relative and Coun-
sci for the com any yesterday that Mr.
SCHNEIDER had suffered a breakdown as
the result of the continuous nervous
strain incident to the prosecutions.
Counsel for the government said last
evening that Mr. SCHNEIDER would have
been a witness. but as he was so ill 1t
would be necessary to get along with
out him as well as possible. Asked
whether he was an essential factor. in
the governments case, the counsel said
that he might be Sc regarded. but that
the accumulation of new evidence made
the case stronger than ever.
Mr.. Schmelter was one of the most in
defatigable employees of the American
Sugar Refining Company, and was in its
employ for many years. 1t was sa1d
that he would never take a vacation. IN
the days of the trial last November ana
December he had a great deal of work
to do in addition to his regular duties,
and whenever the company had to make
comparative statements it was neces-
sarv to go to the offices of the govern
nent prosecutors to look over the books
There was still more work incidental 10

Deputy Surveyor PARIS health was SO

AT one time as If he, too, might fail the
government as witness. The postpone

him an opportunity for rest, and II is
believed that he will be in condition to
take the stand next week. He was said
last evening to be still threatened with
peritonitis, but is under treatment, ana
an operation may be STAYED off
The government is busy collecting IT'S

PUEBLO INDIAN UPRISING
New Mexican National Guards
men Rushed to Taos.
GENERAL MASSACRE FEARED
Family of Homesteader At
tackled and All Wires Cut
Object to Census.

East Las Vegas, n. NJ, May 13.-An
uprising of serious proportions mas
broken out among Pueblo Indians at
Taos. seven miles northwest of here,
and tonight troops are hurrying by spe-
ciai train from Santa Fe to check a pos
si>le massacre of white ranchers
The troops have orders to bring in
warning Indians The Indians 1t Is re-
ported. gave settlers notice that unless
trey left the Taos Valley by daylight to-
morrow they would be killed. The
+roa,,s exnect to he in the field before
daylight.
The Indians have cut all telephone and
telegraph wires from Taos. but reports
indicate that the depredations have been
confined to an attack on the Wlfe ana
children of L. L. Myers, homestedoer'
the cutting of fences and the THEFT OF
horses and cattle.
Further attacks are feared by rahch-
ers. and Judge John R McF1e, conduct
ing court at Taos. issued an urgent de-
nand for troops on Governor Mills TO-
dav. He declared a massacre was I'M
minent.
The Governor Immediately ordered
fifty men of the national guard to Taos.
The guardsmen will reach Taos to-mor-
row morning; General Brooke IN conf
mand of the national guard, has also or
dered another company at Santa Fe to
be in readiness to march at moment
notice.
The uprising of the Pueblos. who for
years have been peaceful. is believed to
have beer caused by the punishment OF
Indians by territorial officers. For years
the P,1eblos have governed themselves,
electing their own chiefs and village
councillors. who tried and punished
malefactors of the tribe without appeal
to the territorial. officers.
Several months ago an Indian of
Isleta, who, had been imprisoned by an
Indian officer, appealed to the territorial
courts and the Indian chief and the
councillor of the village were put in Jail.
Since that time tie Indians have been
unruly, and it is believed that the pres
ent outbreak is the result of fear by the
Pueblos that they may lose their indie
pendence.
For several weeks ranchers near Taos
have found their fences cut and their
stock missing. The discomfort of the
Indians eliminated yesterday in the at
tack on the Myers household.
The taking of the census is also be-
lieved to have caused much unrest
among the Indians. When the enumer-
ators reached Santo Domingo and San
Dia the Indians refused all information
concerning members of the tribe and
threatened the enumerators with vio-
Ience.
1t was only after the census takers
had threatened to bring troops and ex-
Governor George Curry had gone per-
sonally to the chiefs and treasured them
about the purpose of the census that the
Indians were persuaded to answer ques-
tons.

FIGHT To MAKE
CHICAGO DRY

CHICAGO, November 12.-Four
thousand petition circulators have
been organized secretly in a new
campaign to drive saloons from Chic
ago. The first sheets of the petition
were returned to headquarters yester
day. News of this move became known
last night. 1t was decided upon at a
meeting of the local option committee
of the Anti-Saloon League, having in
hand the project to bring the PROPOSE
ton before voters of the city at the
spring election April 4th next
Superintendent James X. Shields of
the Anti.Saloon League made the
claim last night that the "drys" would
control both branches of the Legis-
lature in the session of the General
Assembly beginning next January. He
based his claims upon a tabulation of
the aw-makers-elect classified accord
ing to their pledges upon two posi-
btJttes of 1esislal1ion-county local
option and repeal of the present local
option law.
"The Anti Saloon forces in the
House at Springfield said Mr.. Shields.
will be much stronger than two years
ago, when the majority against us was
from two to five. We have gained
fifteen or sixteen representatives and
have lost five or six, making our net
gain about ten and assuring us CON
troll of the House on local option bills.
The Senate already was with us and
will remain so.
We will present county local op-
ton bill and believe we have the votes |
o pass it in both branches of the Le
yislature."

TURKEY APPEARS TO
BE DOOMED EMPIRE

BE DOOMED EMPIRE
The Turkish empire is the most un.
wieldy and incapable of defense on
the face Of the earth. 1t is a ,thinly
inhabited region, broken up by de-
serts, and extending from the Ariatic
sea to the Indian ocean. It's popula-
tion, estimated at 26,OOO,OOO is broken
up among nearly a dozen different ma
tionalities, speaking as many distinct
languages, and further divided by the
mutual hatred engendered by hostile
proselytizing faiths. And all these di-
visions have been streotyped and
strengthened by the common history
history of 500 years of oppression,
insurrection, spoliation and massacre.
Turkey has Poland on every from
tier-in Arabia, in Armenia, in Mace
donia and in Albania.
The government is little more than
an anarchy, checked by military des-
potism. And this anarchy is girt
round by an inner ring of states which
represent successful instructions,
and are thirsting to emancipate their
subject brethren; and by an out ring
of greedy powers, each one more than
a match for the doomed empire, which
has been spared so long merely be-
cause it's enemies have not been able
to agree on the division of the spoils.
Lastly, the intelligence and industry
of the population are chiefly to be
found among the races most hostile to
the continuance of the empire. The
ruling race possesses the supreme vir-
tue of courage, but it is utterly lack.
ing in enterprise, in foresight, in per-
severance and in administrative capa-
city.
Such are the materials out of which
a group of enthusiastic young officers
expect in few years to construct IA
great military power, strong enough
to reconquer the lost provinces of the
empire and to threaten the supremacy
of Christendom.
