jr.. Of New York City. known TO his friends
as Buster" appeared before the Senate
Committee on Commerce to-day and made
plea for the amateur wireless teiegra-
piers Of the country The committee was
considering Senator Depew's bill providing
for regulations of wireless communication.
Young Stokes. who is fourteen years old.
said he was president OF the Junior Wire
less Club OF America. and represented sixty
thousand American boys.
There was much amusement when Sen
ator Frye presented young Stokes. He
is about feet inches tall. and wears
short trousers He rushed into HIS argu-
ment with great seriousness. and told the
committee that the provisions OF the bill
were mot feasible. but will discriminate
heavily against the amateur and in favor
OF the commercial wireless companies,
which he termed only stock jobbing cor
pora tions and members OF a great trust.
IF the bill is passed." said the young
wireless enthusiast. 1t will stihe the am
bition and really great inventive genius Of
American boys"
Characterizing many of the provisions of
the bill as ridiculous. impossible and i'm
practicable. young Stokes. with great So
lemnity. said to the dignihed Senators:
1T is impossible to regulate wireless as
you gentlemen regulate interstate COM
merce."
He said that IL the bill should become
a law Il would require 'an army Of at least
one thousand to five thousand expert wire

TO CHANGE EXCISE LAW
Bill of Committee of Fourteen
Reported in Senate.
BLOW TO RAINES HOTELS
Landlords Will Be Held Respon-
sible for Character of
Their Premises.
TBy telegraph to The Tribune J

Albany, April z-The Brough excise law
amendments advocated by the Committee
OF Fourteen were reported favorably to-
day by the Senate Committee on Taxation
and Retrenchment. Through this measure
the committee expects to have Raines law
hotels and similar disreputable resorts
wiped out Of existence. The Committee
OF Fourteen is confident that its hill will
be passed this year. particularly in view
OF the fact that IL has eliminated the pro-
vision for the Sunday opening of saloons.
which caused the opposition from upstate
members which killed the committees
measure last year.
The bill provides that hotel 10 obtain
a license must contain twenty-five rooms
and have a dining room double the minimum
size now allowed by the law. IL provides
for a hundred and fifty special agents, SO
the State Excise Department can enforce
the Law Independent; OF the police. II puts
a penalty on the place. by which is meant
that IL the law is violated and liquor
license Is revoked a new one cannot be
granted under any circumstances for liquor
TO be sold In the same property for year.
1t. therefore" said Senator Brough, the
introducer Of the bill. makes IL incumbent
on the landlord OF the premises 10 see
that the law is strictly carried out The
proposed bin extends the penalties Of the
law 10 the acts Of agents. and will there
fore close up disorderly places. Hereto
fore the owners OF a disorderly house have
pleaded ignorance of the acts Of the agent.
and have claimed that the agent over
stepped his authority. This law is notice
to the proprietor of a saloon or Rsines
Law hotel that he is responsible for the
acts Of his bsrtenders and servants"
This bill limits licenses in cities OF the
first class 90 one for each thousand in
habitants. At present In New York City
there is one license for every $50
The BILL Senator Brough said, has
the support OF the brewers, the wholesale
liquor dealers and most OF the liquor deal
ers OF the state. IL makes a license valu-
able property, so that the liquor dealers
themselves will become factor in seeing
that the excise law Is enforced.
1t is expected" said Senator Brough to-
day, that the bill Will pass the Senate
and Assembly with few. il any, dissenting
votes"

United States Far Behind.

incidentally he had much 10 say about the
practical working of wireless telegraphy-
He said the United States was far behind
all foreign powers in its system, and ad-
vised the government TO establish a stand
ard OF wave length of it's own and get a
code which. combined he said nobody could
read He said the commercial companies
had never recovered from the fact that IL
a Maine boy amateur who had first
picked up the battleship feet on its return
from it's world cruise. He declared hat
one station was enough tc transact the
wireless business from New York City, but
four had been established for stock jobbing
purposes. and nine kinds Of stock were now
for sale by one company alone.
He declared that I'm ten years 1t would be
possible for persons on land to communi-
cate with their homes by wireless.
IF a man breaks down in his automobile
twenty-five miles from home" he said. ali
he will have TO do is 20 take out his instru-
ment and call UP his butler and tell him
he will not be home for dinner"
In conclusion he told the committee that
there were from twenty-five thousand to
forty thousand boys in the United States
alreadv interested In wireless telegraphy.
He and his organization were willing TO
cooperate with the government In any fair
undertaking.
Let the government establish its wave
length and will take oath to keep OF
the grass and help the government in any
way we can with our apparatus" he said.
Several questions were asked by members
of the committee. When Senator Bourne
asked him what the capital of his organiza-
tion was. he replied: mo. 1R 52d street.

lowed Young Stokes, making arguments
along the same line
