CABLE FOR CHESAPEAKE BAY
Five Miles OF Telephone Wire to be Laid
Under Water to Connect Towns.


Under Water to Connect Towns.
Four great lengths Of submarine
armored telephone cable, destined for
use under the waters of Chesapeake
Bay, have just been shipped from
New York. Each of these sections
contains $500 feet of cable-fve
miles in all. In the cable are II
pairs of paper-insulated telephone
wire. This cable the property of the
Bell Telephone Company of Pennsyl-
vania is to connect Love Point, on
Kent Island, with Sandy Point north
west OF Annapolis. The cable was
taken from four reels and wound in
figure eight on board the barge
at the dock. Each of these spools
with its load weighed So, 900 pounds.
Even without its mile and a quarter
of cable each spool weighed two and
half tons. When the cable is laid
start will be made from the east
shore and the end of one section will
be buoyed in the Bay. The other
three lengths already spliced together
into one piece nearly four miles long
will be laid from the west shore.
The free end of this section will be
sp,iced to the first quarter at the
meeting place in the Bay. Shipping
and laying the cable because of it's
great weight and length is a tremen-
dons undertaking. The big load was
placed on barge in the North River
opposite the New York plant of the
Western Electric Company which
manufactured the cable The work
of stringing it in Chesapeake Bay
will soon begin and will be under the
direction of James Cunningham, gen.
eral cable foreman of the telephone
company. This is the first loaded
cable of any kind to be used in this
country though there are two such
cables now in service in Europe. 1t
is equipped with loading coils
a special Cevice for incre lsing eff
cheney of transmission. These coils
are to be put in place before the cable
is laid. The cable with it's armor is
about two and half inches in diam
eter. The lead sheath which serves
for protection is 5-32 of an inch in
thickness. This cover is wrapped
with three reverse layers of jute and
then armore with lengths of wire
about a quarter of an inch in diam
eter. Over this are placed two more
layers of jute. The outer covering
is capable of withstanding the raw.
ages of the deep for a great many
years.

Washington, Feb f1-The senate
gave most OF it's attention today to
the question of tie constitutionalitv
of the extradition Of criminals from
one state to another in cases wherein
the prosecution Is according 10 the
process Of information instead of
indictment, The subject arose in Goa
nection with the bin requiring recog-
milton of this system of prosecution.
No action was taken Senator Piles
in charge Of the measure, said some
governors ihfused to grant extraat
ltion in the chse OF the prosecution by
the information process
The bill was vigorously opposed by
Root and Hepburn. who contended
that il was a contraYention OF the
federal constitution. Root declared
the bill attempted to force states
which had held to the safeguards of
the constitution to abandon them and
require the governors TO respond To
the demands made upon irresponsible
! We, who are acting under the re-
eulremcnt Of the constitution for
grand jury proceeding, should not ne
0mpelled by an act Of congress 70
abandon 1t, and surrender citizen
on a process which we believe in
adequate and irregular he said
Nor said Piles, should citizen
lof New York, be allowed to invade
other states violate their laws and
fee home free from extradition ana

Clark, of Wyoming, and Bailey, oe
Texas. contended that each state
should have a right to prescribe it's
