CHARGE OF STEALING WIRELESS
MESSAGE RAISES A NEW ISSUE

LOS ANGELES, August 4.-With
the indictment and subsequent arrest
today of Edwin T. Earl, millionaire
publisher of the Express and Tribune
of this city, the future of the wireless
telegraph as a medium of commerce
was placed in the balance.
Earl was indicted on evidence show
ing that he had lifted" a wireless
message Of private nature and pub
lished it in his newspaper, the Tri-
bune. AS a result a test case is
promised which for the first time will
determine the legal status of the wire
less telegraph companies as carriers
of private messages and their right to
the same protection of secrecy at pres
ent accorded telegraph and telephone
companies.
Far beyond the purely local condi-
tons which brought to the attention of
the grand jury Earl's alleged offense
is the importance of an expected judi
cial decision of whether any wireless
operator may record and make public
the contents of messages being trans
mitted through space within reach of
his receiving instrument.
Defined as Felony.
If Earl is held innocent the COM
mercial value of the wirelss would, it
is believed, be practically destroyed,
since no company could hope to OBJ
tain messages for transmission with
out assurance of secrecy.
The offense charged against Earl is
defined in sections 619, 631 and 40 of
the Penal Code, which makes a felony
of the wilful disclosure of any tele-
graph message without a court order
or the consent Of the sender or re-
ceiver. The millionaire stands liable
upon conviction to imprisonment in
the state penitentiary for a term not
exceeding five years or a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000, or both fine and i'm
I risonment.
Soon after the indictment was re-
turned by the county grand jury to-
day the newspaper publisher was ar
rested. He was released upon his own

whom the indictment was returned, on
Monday morning.
Was Private Business.
The wireless message revealed by
Earl in his newspaper was sent
through the stations of the United
Wireless Company from Los Angeles
to Catalina Island 1t related to pri-
vate bus ness, but was of interest to
Earl because it mentioned his name.
II was intercepted and recorded by
three boy amateurs in Los Angeles
and by them given to Earl.
No attempt was made by the grand
jurors to indict the three amateur
wireless operators who intercepted the
message. These three young amateurs,
David Smith, 200 West Eighteenth
street; Kenneth Ormiston, 9O7 West
Twentieth street, and Harry V. Roome
of $40 West Twentieth street, were
called as Witnesses before the grand
jury. Before being called they pub
licly stated that Earl and his en-
ployees had induced them to reveal
the intercepted message.
Promised Protection.
In their statements they stated that
Earl was present when they made af-
fdavits to their alleged illegal acts.
AT that time, it is claimed, he assured
them he would accept all responsible.
ity for their acts and would guard
their interests. 1t was with this def.
mite understanding that the boys per.
mitted the publication of the inter-
cepted message.
The present plan of the District At
torney is to proceed against Earl as
soon as possible. He anticipates that
every technicality possible will be
raised and that every effort of shrewd
lawyers will be lent to secure dis.
missal of the charge. The law has
been thoroughly studied, however, and
it is determined that not only has a
law been violated, but that a great
injury has been done to the United
Wireless Telegraph Company

SENATORS STARTLED DURING THE
LORIMER INVESTIGATION BY NEW
REVELATIONS Of EASY GRATING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Charles A.
White, once a representative in the
Illinois legislature, gave his confess
sion of legislative corruption and dis
grace and the Tart he took in it to the
special Lorimer committee Of the
United States Senate today. He toll
of the biennial "jackpots' and the
money greed which grew in appetite
and holiness until a United States
senatorship was on the auction block
and Senator Lorimer and friends
rounded up ffty-three Democratic
votes to elect him as a Republican
senator from Illinois.
Senators sat amazed as White told
at the morning session of the demon
alization and spirit of graft with which
the legislature was opened and in
which it moved through to its spec
tacular elimination in the election OF
Senator Lorimer. Before he even
reached Springfield he received a let
ter from Representative Lee O'Neii
Browne, candidate for minority leader,
giving him first lesson in getting
something for nothing and coaching
him in the railroad pass graft in di-
rections where to apply for free tick
cts. The latter was introduced into
evidence.

nois Southern, he said, the railroads
attorney endeavored to pledge him to
vote for a certain bill. Railroad

members like cigars or other social

ARMY AND NAVY

WASHINGTON, August Rear
Admiral Francis T. Bowles, retired, in
discussing the new gun and its prob
able effect on future warfare, said
"The adoption of a 14-inch gun, which
would shoot accurately 10 or Is miles,
would Tevolutionize naval warfare. 1t
would make all the coast defense of
the present day practically useless"
"a fleet of battleships equipped with
14-inch guns could send into Boston
messengers of death and destruction
sufficient to reduce the entire city to
ruins before the coast defense could
train their guns on the hostile feet, he
believes.
IF the new 14-inch guns turn out as
successfully as is hoped" the admiral
says, their destructive power will be
terrific. Not only is the impact very
great and their penetrating power
practically unlimited, but also the ex-
plosion of the shell would play havoc
that would be appalling.
There is no question that the gen.
eral introduction of guns of very
large caliber will revolutionize war
fare. 1t will make many changes nee
essary to naval construction.
For instance, it will necessitate the
improvement of armor The plates
will have to be made thicker or of

as to business and their bearing upon
the welfare of the pople. He holds
that commission, for the expenses of
which Congress has appropriated
nearly half a million dollars, has been
at work for some time, gathering
every known fact in connection with
the wool industry here and abroad;
investigating every phases of the sub
ject from the raising Of the sheep to
the passing into the hands of the con-
sumner of the products of wool.
This commission, he points out, will
be ready to make a comprehensive re-
port to him and to Congress by next
December. This report, containing
every scientific fact and figure posi-
BILE to secure, should, in the Presi-
dents opinion, be the basis for re-
vision of schedule "K," and not the
individual views of democrats or re-
publicans. Thinking people of the
country demand, he holds, that future
tariff revisions should be made after
scientific investigation, and should no
longer be hodge-podge of guess work
mixed with political scheming.
Firm in His Opposition.
The President is known to stand alb
solutely firm in his purpose to veto a
wool bill passed at this session as soon
as it reaches him, and he has so far
refused to consider suggestions that
this act on his part might mean his
political undoing and the certain
wrecking of his party. He has always
shown a willingness, however, to con-
slider public opinion and to give due
regard to advice coming to him that
apparently represents the voice of a
majority of the people of the country.
The advice he is getting today comes
from republican regulars in Washing
ton. The views of the country will be-
gin to be apparent through the news
papers within the next ten days. He
will have abundant time, therefore, in
which finally to determine his course.
Today's opinions and advices en-
couraged the veto idea. ct will not
hurt him or the party. 1t is just what
he should do" say some republicans.

"The coast defense would serve, per.
haps, only to withstand and actual in
vasion should the enemy resort to this
after having demolished the coast
cities.
There is no doubt that a fleet
equipped with new 14-inch guns of the
latest type could raze New York or

hour.
THE only way to prevent a naval
invasion is to have a fleet which can
successfully prevent it. Ships are

this problem of coast defense is made
by the submarine. | believe that the
submarine is going to be taken more
seriously every year by naval experts.
1t is the most deadly enemy of the

proved themselves capable of doing
great things. They can prevent an
