New records have been hung up
during the past year with the inn
proved wireless telegraphapparatus
1t is now only question of time
when wireless will be really csmpet-
ing with land wires and cables.
Transatlantic service has been re
sumed during the year and signals
have been received by its station in
Argentine Republic from Nova Scotia
and from Ireland, a record distance
of $500 miles. Signals have been
received by daylight at sea over a
a distance of $500 miles. A ship has
been in constant communication with
Hamburg. Germany, on trip to
South Africa, the distance covered
by the wireless wave being 1000
miles, largely over land. The Pacific
Ocean has practically been covered,
as ships have been in communication
with Honolulu over almost the en-
tire journey from North America to
Australia. Signals have been re-
ceived from the California cost on
shipboard at a distance of 1896
miles. Overland transmission be-
tween Chicago and the Atlantic coast
has been in successful operation.
The range of operation of wireless
telephony has been largely increased
by the new relays invented by Brown
and Pickard. and these also enable a
greater sharpness of tuning. Good
working communication has been
maintained between ships Of the
Navy Department with ten-kilwatt
sets over distance of 800 miles in
daytime and signals could be detect
ed at distance of 1000 miles. The
Bellini-Tosi directed system has
proved successful with ships in
French Navy, but the range is limited
and the use of short waves is neces-
sary.

BORAH MANeuvERED SKllLFULLY
Question Placed Under Head of unfin-

for Vote on Any Day-Root Draws
Lesson from Lorimer Incident

Washington, Feb. 6-The senate on

vering Senator Borah succeeded In
having the resolution made the un-

Senator Borah will have 1t in par

be done AS Senator Hale expressed
it in his short capitulation speech

1t can be stated with absolute as
surance that Mr. Borah intends to re-

his victory. He will give Senators
opposed a reasonable time to speak

elapsed, he will press the subject be-
fore the senate and be in position II

Root said it was such cases as this
one before the senate now that we're
creating demand throughout the
country for change in the constitu-

were the cause of the demand for the

AFTERBANKROBBERS
AN ORGANIZATION FORMED BY
BANKERS AND INSUR-
ANcE MEN.
FIVE STATES ARE REPRESENTED
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri
and Arkansas Bankers Interested
Kansas and Nebraska Have Had Sc.
rious Losses.

Kansas City, Feb. 6.-The organiza
ton of a detective force to aid the
county officers OF five states in cap
turing bank robbers was the plan eff
fected by a bankers conference at
the Hetei Baltimore. The conference
was composed Of the presidents and
secretaries of the State Bankers as
ISOLATION and the state managers OF
bank burglary insurance companies
in five states The five states repre-.
sented were: Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas.
The detective force, as planned,
will have its headquarters in Kansas
City. 1t will operate in the five states
and will do nothing except hunt bank
robbers. The meeting was called be-
cause of the large number of bank
robberies within the last few months
In Kansas and Nebraska. The confer
ence members cannot create the
force, but they will report to their
respective associations and COM
panies the plan adopted. and it is al
most certain that the force will be
started soon.
A resolution was adopted asking
each association and company to in
crease it's reward, for each bank rob
Der caught and convicted, to $500.
The present reward varies, but the
largest number of the associations
offer about $3.50.
IF the reward is increased, it will
mean $1,000 will be paid for the con-
viction of each robber, $500 by the
state association and the same sum
by the insurance company w. B.
Harrison, Enid, Ok, secretary of the
Oklahoma State Bankers association,
said
THE cost OF the detective force will
be distributed among the five associa-
tions and six bank insurance COM
panies in the conference. One of the
detectives, held in reserve at head
quarters, would be sent where a rob
berry takes place
AT the closing meeting Of the con-
ference permanent organization OF
the five state associations and the in
surance companies represented was
effected. It will be known as the
Bankers Cooperative Alliance. A. H.

WATER BuI IA CITY.

A few years ago there was town
out in Kansas with as gloomy pros
poets as any in the land. Taxes.
mortgages and the remnants of a
busted boom had almost put an end
to even hope.
But it had a few citizens with some
sand in their craws" and something
more than tallow in their spines and
they decided that the thing most
needed was fine water supply.
They found that they could get
water by going seven miles away
and drilling wells. When theyfound
this out they likewise found a way
to raise the necessary money and
drilled the wells. putin the pipe line,
pumpingstation and standpipe---c om.
pleted a water system. The plant
cost the city SIS. 900, and when it was
completed invitations were. sent out
to industries to locate there. for peo-
pie to come and partake of advar-
tages at hand.
And now. 1910. the census gives
Newton---that was the town---nearly
5000 population. and it is thriving.
and has just issued $4,000 additional
bonds to improve the water system.
And there is no question whatever
but that had Newton not taken hold
Of the water proposition and carried
it 10 success. 1t never would have
been more than village.
Water built Newton.
Getting back home. The present
water system of Mena has paid tor
itself several times over. 1t has
saved its cost in single week in fire
protection; and several times its cost
in the saving in insurance rates.
But it is inadequate now. 1t must
be in measure rebuilt, its capacity
increased and its efficiency multi
piled. Each day this is delayed
Mena is not only not utilizing its
advantages to attract industries, en-
terprises and population. but actual
~ is driving people from its doors
who would come and stay If the ac-
commodations that go with ade-
quate water water supply were to
be had.
Our water commissioners are
working hard on the propositions be-
fore them. but should have more CO.
operation in every way from all the
citizens-especially Mena's business
interests.
Water is a great builder of cities.
More than that. "a city cannot be
built nor long exist without it.
