NAVY TO ESTABLISH
BIG WIRELESS PLANT
Station to Send Messages to
Vessels Over 1000 Miles
Distant.

A powerful wireless telegraph station
of the navy, capable Of communicating
with naval vessels 1000 miles and posi-
bly, 1900 miles distant from Washington,
soon will be erected on the government
reservation at Arlington. Va.
This high-power plant is designed to
keep the headquarters of the United
States Navy in close touch with war ves-
sells on this side of the Atlantic ocean.
1t has been the dream Of naval officials
for years to erect such a station in the
environs of the National Capital.
At one time 1t IVES suggested that a
wireless mast for the purpose be con-
structed on top Of the Washington Monu-
ment. but strenuous objections were
raised to the proposition and several sites
have been suggested since and discarded.
Consists Of Three Towers.
The naval wireless plant at Arlington
will consist of three towers. one 600 feet
high and the others each 45O feet high.
All will be supported on cast steel bases
and concrete foundations. Between each
base plate and cast base there will be an
insulating slab and the whole will be an
chored. The top of each tower will be
finished with a fiagpole platform and
top of each tower Outriggers provided
with means for attaching wireless appa-
ratus A stairway will be provided the
entire height of each tower with land
ings at heights of $50 feet.
1t is predicted that these towers Will
be of pleasing appearance. AT a distance
the steel construction will present the ap-
pearance of delicate tracery against the
skyline. The wireless buildings are to
be Of brick and terra Gotta construction.
Estimated Cost, $135, 900.
The estimated cost of the entire work
is about s133.OOO. Bids for the steel tow
ers will be opened by Rear Admiral Hol-
lyday, chief of the bureau of yards and
docks, at the Navy Department. next
Saturday and bids for the buildings the
18th instant There is considerable inter-
est in the work and it is expected that
there will be lively competition for the
contracts.
At the present time there are only two
naval stations equipped with high towers.
one being located at Brant Rock, Mass,
and the other at the New York navy
yard.
The one at Brant Rock stands 4OO feet
In the air and receives messages from
1000 miles at sea. When the atmos-
pherical conditions are exceptional the
station has received flashes sent from
ships more than 1000 miles away, and
these occasions are frequent.

Ghiberti's Doors,
From the Chicago Examiner.

Ffom the JhlCdgU ExHmlner.
The world-renowned doors OF the Bap-
tistry at Florence represent nearly the
entire lifework OF Gilbert. He began the
first pair when he was twenty-three years
old. and when he finished the second pair
he was seventy-three. Excepting the three
statues outside of San Michele. and one
or two minor works, these two pairs of
bronze doors represent his labors for o.
half century. These doors. declared by
Michelangelo "ft to be the gates OF
Paradise" represent the Book Of Genesis
in all the depths Of its meaning. and the
skill OF the artist has never been over
praised. 1t is impossible to exaggerate
the glory Of the work, and II one has the
time and money the sight OF these won
derful doors is well worth the trip to

he remarked solemnly: Doctor, that is

State Combats Insanity Theory.

States Attorney Waters. however. and
Aleadxner kilgour. who was appointed
by the court to assist in the prosecution,
have made every preparation to combat
the insanity theory. They do not hesi-
tate to say that the killing of Mrs. Veirs
was a cold-blooded murder and they de-
clare they will be able to make any
jury believe so, too.
II Is believed that considerable trouble
will be experienced in getting a jury.
Because of the prominence of the Allnutt
family the case has been widely dis
cussed. and to find twelve men who have
not formed or expressed an opinion as to
the guilt or innoo ence of the prisoner Is
not going TO be an easy task.
Allnutt will be defended by Arthur Pc

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1O.-With the pos
session of the international polo cup as
sured for another year. at least, by the
splendid victory of the American team
yesterday. the interest of the polo fans
is now directed toward the Consolation
game" which will be played at Meadow
Brook Field Monday for the individual
cup presented by Stanley Mortimer These
cups are to be awarded to the four best
players.
The game will be held on the field
where the battle for the International polo
cup was fought out. Special trains will
be run and tickets for the other two
games which have not been used by the
holders will be available.
Better Than Those Preceding.
The coming match, 1t Is said, will
prove a better exhibition of skill than
either Of the two previous games. 1t will
be aimed to arrange the teams in such
a manner as will make the game a very
evenly contested one 1t may be that
two of the British teams and two on the
American side may constitute a team.
Experts say that the recent success of
the home team might be attributed large
ly to the excellence of the American
ponies.
Several judges say that it was the native
ponies that won the game for Uncle Sam
They conceded that IL the challenger had
had AmericaA mounts the result might
have been different especially that Of the
first match. Mondays game will test this
assertion, Tor the American ponies will
be exchanged with the Britishers, while
the present cupholders will ride the Brit
ish ponies
Cecil A. Greenfield. NJ p, and a finan-
cial expert Of London, said today:
"As an Englishman who has taken part
in or witnessed nearly every conceivable
be allowed to testify and express my ap-
probation OF the good feeling and sports
manlike demeanor shown by the specta-
tors at the recent international polo
matches.
Not Jarring Note.
I'm spite of an eager desire to retain
the cup during games causing intense ex-
element already so vividly described In
your newspapers. there was not a single
jarring note nor discourteous word Good
play was applauded and praises showered
on the player. irrespective of his ma
tionality. and the general feeling seemed
to be, May be the best men win.'
International games played under such
hood, strengthen the ties that bind us to
closely together. and reflect the highest
praises on all concerned, on grooms and
onlookers. 1t is especially to the latter
/ address this letter, as one sportsman to
another"
