PENNSY PLANS
WIRELESS TEST
Company Will Experiment
With Service In PhlIa-
delphla Train Movements

The Pennsylvania Railroad Is pre-
pairing to test the practical value OF
wireless telegraphy in connection
with train movements in Philadelphia.
Steps in this direction we're begun
yesterday. when the management took
out permit to build a frame struc-
ture, TO cost about $3.50, which will be
located on Cuthbert street. east Of
Sixteenth street. Tho building is to
be 6 by II feet in size. and it is ex-
planned that it is intended for tempor-
airy use only-that is. while expert
ments are being conducted.
This will not be the first expert
ment OF the kind undertaken by the
Pennsylvania. More than a year ago
the company erected a small station
at Harrisburg Then kite system
was tried i'm Altoona. Il is intended
to build a station also at Pittsburgh.
Thus far the management has not
used the wireless i'm train operation.
The explanation is made that much
remains to be done before such a
thing is attempted Independently of
the telegraph or telephone. But the
company's telegraph and telephone
departments are seeking TO keep
abreast Of the times, so that IL the
new method of communication is per
fected for railroad use they NAV be
skilled I'm its operation.

This weeks show at the Garrick--
the anniversary shows attracting
large audiences. It isn't often that
theatre-goers are offered a bill Of
ten acts that combines such large
quantity of good entertainment as
that which the Garrick presents this
week.
To a capacity audience last night

Stock Company presented "A Wo-
mans Way" the clever comedy in
three acts. which is the attraction
this week. The performance last
night was a benefit for the Fraternal
Order of Eagles. and nearly every
member Of the lodge was present. All
seemed to enjoy the bright little
comedy and no less the charm and
excellent acting of Miss Warda
Howard, who has been making a hit
this week. Mr.. Roger was hailed
with enthusiasm. His portrayal OF
the fiirtatious husband was delight
ful. On Thursday and Saturday af-
