important Conference Marks a
Beginning for Settlement
of Problems.
HISTORIC WHITE HOUSE DAY
May Discriminate in Favor of
American Merchant Marine
and Warships.

WASHINGTON, December %. - One
of the most important conferences, SO
far as worldwide results are concerned,
was held in the White House Yesterday
between President Taft, Secretary of
State Knox, Secretary of War Dickin-
son and a number of congressman
The subject under discussion was the
formulation of legislation in connection
with the Panama Canal. Not only was
the question of fortifying the canal
zone gone over, but new questions of
rules governing the canal were gone
into
The proposal that all American war
ships should be passed through the
canal free of charge was one of the
important matters discussed.
The most important question under
consideration, however, was that affect
ing the American merchant marine It
was proposed that all American mer-
chant ships should be charged a lower
rate to go through the canal than
foreign vessel.
This question, it is understood, raised
considerable discussion, with a final
trend of opinion in favor of discrimina-
ton in behalf of the American ships.
In this connection the question as
to whether the government shall oper-
ate coal yards and drydocks in the
canal zone also came up for discussion.
What all the conferees agreed upon
was that there should be quick legisla-
ton to solve three problems, and a bill
will be introduced in congress embody-
ing the final results of the conference

The results of this conference will
have the most important bearing upon
that question in regard to the discrimi-
nation in favor of American merchant
marine. Should this proposal be actual
ly carried out the sugar fleet will pro-
coed directly from Hawaii through the
canal to Atlantic ports without any
danger of competition by foreign ships.

Newspaper Service.

"At New York there will be estab-
lished d station that will operate a
press association and send out news
matter broadcast to hundreds of news
papers. Only the receiving stations
that are tuned to our system will be
able to get the messages said Mr..
Thompson, and then continued: eff we
establish a station in Hawaii, the news
papers here can be served in the same
way, through our San Francisco sta
ton
As illustrating the wonderful prop
critics Of the POulsen system Mr.
Thompson told OF many experiments
that had been carried out by himself.
He is a graduate of Stanford Univer-
sity, and has been engaged in the cleo
trical business for years.
1.-The electric current that passes
through the Poulsen apparatus is divid-
ed up INTO a tremendous number of
wire to an ordinary live wire tha5
would have given a great shock to any
one who touched it. Still. after the
current had passed through PouIsen s
machine Il man was told to hold a wire
and hold the hand of another man. The
current was 50 reduced that there was
no feeling of shock. yet d cigar was
lighted from a carbon held in the sec
ond man : hand. The current went
through the two men but at such a
rate owing to the pnlsations being IN
creas ed, that no shock was felt; the
nerves could not appreciate the
shocks -

Straight Reply.

In reply Mr.. Cooper, Yesterday, wrote
to Mr.. Efinger as follows:
Dear Mr., Effinger:-I guess the Sc
cret of il is in the expenditures being
made by private individuals instead of
through the party organization. See
Cost of Election in Doctor Scudder' S
article, page five this mornings 'Ad-
vertiSer. which seems to me nearer true
conditions If local Democrats will
agree to limit expenses. I feel sure
Republicans viii do likewise, and [
hope some understanding viii be reach
ed before the next campaign
The last words of Mr.. Cooper's letter
open the doors to vista of new style
politics which would cause a nightmare
to almost any oldtime POLITICIAN
campaign minus the campaign runner,
of paid oratorv, If hired gatherings, of
artificial enthusiasm. of doliarless
votes-what kind of a political lIau
would that be? he would ask himself
when he walked to the facts.

WIRELESS WIZARD
To WORK WONDERS
Beach Thompson Wants to Try
Out Invention of PouIsen-
Talk With Coast.

According to Beach Thompson, who
is in Honolulu looking over the wire
less telegraph field, the apparatus of
all other companies will be ready for
the scrap pile when the Poulsen Wire
less Company gets started properly.
eve have a SYSTEM remarked Mr..
Thompson last night, "that can be
tuned properly, and which defies any
other system to cut in and receive our
messages 4 few weeks ago the man
ager of the United Wireless Company
asked me to let him know when we
were sending, as he would try to get
some of our messages. When l told
him that we had been constantly-day
and night-sendng and receiving, he
threw up his hands.
eve broke all records BIZ sending a
message over one thousand miles on
land. and the waves had to cross, or
90 through, the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains We can send three hundred
words a minute at present, and only
our own receiving apparatus can take
the message.

Danish Invention.

''The Poulsen wireless is the result
of years of work on the part of Vlad-
mire Poulsen of Copenhagen, and he
started on the same lines as Marconi
did years ago. After much research,
Poulsen decided that Marconi was on
the wrong track, and he worked for a
long time on the invention that has
now turned out to be the greatest mar
vel of the age.
1.-The waves from the other wireless
systems start out big, but dwindle away
just as the ripples created by a stone
thrown into a pond. The waves from
the Poulsen wireless maintain their
length over the full distance they are
sent. That is the difference and the
reason that our system is SO wonderful.

There is something attractive in the
| suggestion by Gen. Van SAINT. Com
mander i'm Chief of the Grand Army
Of the Republic. of a nation wide en-
/ campment Of the Blue and Gray vet
Grams. And why shouldn't such a
union--it could not yet be called a
e-union-be held, asks the New York
| Times. Notwithstanding the ever-in-
| creasing Federal pension rolls, the
veterans on botii sides are rapidly
! passing away, and II cannot be more
than a few years at most before the
last reunion. North and South. will
be held. and the few remaining old
warriors on both sides, as did the
Mexican veterans a few months ago,
will go home TO return no more. The
report on the parade of the G.. A. r.
men at Atlantic City on Wednesday
said without intentional pathos:
While the parade was not as large
as those Of former years. there was
no end Of enthusiasm" That was
no doubt true and will be true of
every succeeding parade Of both Blue
and Gray ranks until their colors
merge and are no more.
The fact is. the soldiers Of the North
and the South were always pretty
good friends when not actually fight
ing. They We're inveterate borrowers
from each other. or else traders. ex-
changing tobacco for coffee or such
other things as one needed and the
other had to spare There seems to
be absolutely no hostility i'm the North
toward the Southern people, and,
Southerners tell us, no ill-feeling in
the South toward the North, except
possibly in a few instances toward the
memory of several individual Federal
officers who, Southerners think,
pressed the finger Of war too hard on
-belligerents. Otherwise an atti-
tude Of the utmost good will prevails.
Lincoln and Grant are everywhere In
Dixie affectionately held and honored.
The encampment OF the Blue and
Gray together is not n new thing. In
dividual camps have often visited each
other, getting along splendidly togeth-
er, renewing old friendships, ante
bellum existing in some instances. and
swapping ra e yarns of camp life and
fighting. They have marched together
in Massachusetts, and in Virginia,
while Northern or Southern crowds
looked on approvingly and cheered.
Let them, then. have one great meet
ing, showing 10 the world, as they
themselves already know, that gal
liant enemies may become the best of
friends.
