Especial Correspondence OF the Star }
WASHINGTON, September ITO
annihilate space and link the navy de-
partment at Washington with its myr-
lad of vessels on the high seas far
from land and from other ships, to
place it in constant and almost i'm
mediate touch with faraway Honolulu
through a relay station at Mare Is
land, a gigantic wireless telegraph
station is to be erected at Arlington,
Va, just outside the national capital.
Since wirelsss telegraphy was
adopted by the government several
years ago as means of communica-
ton, the Navy Department has realiz-
ed how invaluable and indispensable
the invention is in conducting naval
work. The department now has forty
four land stations, including three
stations located on fixed light-vessels,
besides the great number of sets of
instruments installed upon the ships
of the navy. But the average COM
municative range of these stations is
not very extensive, and there has
long been the demand for such a sta
ton as the one now under construc-
ton at Arlington, the range of whica
will cover the entire Atlantic Coast
of North America.
A Great Station.
The Arlington station will be the
largest and finest equipped station in
the United States, and even in the
world, with the exception of the Mar
conf transatlantic stations at Clifden,
Ireland, and Glace Bay, Newfound-
land. The wireless sets at these sta
tons are rated unoffciaIly at 500 kilo-
watts, the output of electrical energy.
The new government station is to
have 100 kilowatt set installed. With
this set of instruments it will be pos
sible to held intercommunication with
ships 1000 miles away, and to transmit
messages to vessels between 1000 and
5000 miles distant.
Regular Service Here.
The erection of the Arlington sta
ton is only one of the many wireless
telegraph projects which the govern
ment has planned. Plans are now I'M
der consideration for the establish
ment of a regular wireless service be
tween the navy yard at Mare Island,
Cal, and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. A

the lands it is developing, and that it
is merely a mask for the Southern Pa.
cifc company.
The facts in one of these suits we're
gathered by State Mineralogist Aubury
with the aid of his assistants. The
point directly at issue is the cancella.
ton of patents that have been issued
for oil lands that were taken up as
agricultural lands. 1t is alleged that
the forms of law have not been COM
piled with and that false representa-
tions have been made in order to Sc
cure the patents.
This is a matter of great import
ance," said Aubury. millions of dol
lars worth of lands are at stake.
Hence the proceedings in Los Angeles
will be attended by important conse-
Quences. After l had ascertained the
facts l called the attention of the Sec
rotary of the interior to the matter,
and an investigation by a government
agent followed. This has led to pro-
ceedings instigated by attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham. Not only the San
Joaquin Valley, but other portions of
the state have been scenes of illegal
operations Of this kind, involving the
securing of oil lands unlawfully.

sources in this state, the value Of
which cannot be even estimated with
any approximation to the truth, but

PLANS OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
FOR GREAT WIRELESS SYSTEM OF
WHICH HAWAII WILL Be PART

new set is to be installed at Mare Is
land, and a finely equipped station is
to be established at Pearl Harbor
Engineers fear that the mountains of
Hawaii, lying in the air line between
Pearl Harbor and Mare Island, will
cast a shadow in the electromagnetic
waves, and thus interfere with inter-
communication, but Pearl Harbor is
the only practicable site, as more
suitable locations have no military
protection. STILL communication be-
tween the two stations is considered
possible, as atmospheric conditions
are much better for wireless transmits
sion in the Pacific than in the Atlant-
ic. At present there is a small sta
ton at Honolulu, Hawaii, but it's
range is short.
The new station at Arlington will
be used for experimental purposes.
for transmitting and receiving official
messages, for handling occasional
commercial messages, for tracing the
movements of ships, and for keeping
in touch with the navy yards along
the coast. 1t is expected that the
operators at the station will hold
daily communication with the large
station at Colon, Panama. The sta
tions along the Upper Atlantic Coast
have frequently heard the station at
Colon for Short periods during the
cold, clear nights of winter, but have
been unable so far to establish inter-
communication. Tests will probably
be conducted with the Army Signal
Corps station at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan. Wireless experts of the navy
think it not improbable that the All
ington station may occasionally catch
signals from the large stations at Ber-
lin and Paris.
Want Regulations.
Because of the interference from
commercial stations, the navy is now
tuning all of the stations sharply, so
that if a receiving station is ten per
cent. out of tune, the signals will not
be heard. In view of the great amount
of interference, officials Of the Navy
Department are advocating govern
ment regulation of wireless stations
in this country, but they have little
hope of getting the desired legisla-
ton.

The Iowa Senatorship.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: BY general
consent the regular Republicans of
Iowa are standing by Governor
Carols appointment of United States
senator. That is the logical thing TO
do. The progressives are making a
mistake, from the viewpoint of their
own interests and certainly from the
viewpoint OF party unity. in not max
ing Mr. Young's election unanimous
SO far as the Republican members of
the legislature are concerned.
II, however. they insist upon the
election OF a progressive, then their
only honorable recourse. according to
the tenets of their cwn creed Of pro-
gressiveness. is TO refer the choice TO
the Republican voters at a senatorial
primary election. The Des Moines
Register and Leader. itself a strong
progressive. puts this case very
lucidIy and with irresistible logic:
Not only is there no call upon any
candidate TO accept the action of a leg
islatiye caucus. but he would by that
act confess himself a reactionary Of
the most reacuonary sort, for if there
is one thing. that progressive leaders
have popularized in Iowa and adver-
tised 10 the nation it is that the legis-
lative caucus is not The place to make

NEW ELlx,r OF LIFE.
Or. Doyen Believes He Has Truly
Discovered II.


j Paris Correspondence London Lead
Ter: Yes. it is indeed an elixir,
were DR.. Doyen's first words when |
asked him TO give details of his dis
covery to the Morning Leader. The
exact substances which | have called
Phagogenous Colloids, are albumens
/ extracted from natural ferments-the
ones precipitable by heat and the
others soluble by heat. like peptones.
These substances are stimulants of
j phagocytes to such degree that
their absorption by the mouth or, IN
grave cases, by simultaneous injec-
ton, suffices TO prevent or cure the
greater part of acute infectious dis
eases.
Thanks to these new agents | can
promise the disappearance of almost
all acute maladies of the respiratory
organs. of the digestive tubes and of
the skin-among the latter | may
mention eczema We have had re-
markable results in scarlatina, meas
les, typhoid fever, phlebitis, infec-
tious arthritis, cerebro spinal men
nights. My method has also been
applied to the treatment of chronic
diseases by combining it, in the case
of tuberculosis and cancer. with tub
erculine and with microbian vaccine.
THE results are de1nonstratiye to-.
day, and are based on hundreds of
cases. The use of mycolysine will
completely transform the practice OF
medicine and surgery. and its import
ance from the social point OF view is
enormous.
Consider that. at the present mo-
ment. there exists no certain result
except for the vaccine OF Jenner. the
vaccination by Pasteur against hydro
phobia, the serotherapy against diph-
iberia, and the preventive serotherapy
of tetanus. these maladies are. as a
matter of fact. pretty rare. /, on the
contrary, am giving immunity at the
present moment from almost all the
other maladies put together.
For acute maladies the proof is
so easy that in big hospital not
more than four weeks are necessary
in order to obtain long series of
demonstratiye observations.

The striking thing about mycoly-
sine is that it is absolutely harmless;
it comes from ferments such as those

at this juncture thing happened.
There were in the room the two police
men guarding the swing doors. and
behind them the pale faces Of a couple
of night porters looking anxiously IN.
Vincent Cawdor and Miss Brown were
standing side by side, little In the
background, and the young man who
had been their companion had risen
also to his feet As though with some
intention OF intervening, he moved
step forward, almost in line with
Dory. Rounceby saw him, and new
fear gripped him by the heart He
shrank back. his fingers relaxed their
hold of his weapon, the sweat was hot
upon his forehead. Marnstam, though
be seemed for moment stupefled,
realized the miracle which had hap.

with something like apprehension at
