DIVE KEEPER GIVES
RICHES To CHARITY
Woman Notorious for Years
Wills Omaha 100000. i !
REAL NAME UNKNOWN
Miss "Anna Wilson," Who Came as
Stage Girl TO Nebraska Metropolis,
!: Repentant, Gave Her Resort and
Wealth to City.

Omaha, Neb.-AIiss Anna Wilson's
gift of practically 100000 to charity,
the accumulation of 40 years profits
from the most notorious dive Omaha
has ever known, has brought out more
"reminiscences and caused more talk
than any single event in the middle
west in years. Miss Wilson was sixty
years OF age when she died a few
days ago, and in her will she makes
no individual gifts, except OF trust
fund. but leaves all that she had
saved 20 the city as her greatest pos
sible restitution. 1t is the second
largest gift to charity ever made by
an Omaha resident. Six months ago
Miss WILSON closed out her dive and
presented the building, with $4,000,
to the city as an emergency hospital.
Anna Wilson went to Omaha when
it was a frontier town several years
before the Union Pacific railroad was
completed in 1867. Her first appear
ancc was on q music hall stage She
was bright and pretty. Also she was
well educated. Just who she really
vas has always been mystery. She
freely acknowledged that Anna VIII.
son" was not her true name, but her
real identity has never been revealed.
The young girl remained on the
stage only a short time. When the
music hall went to the wall she was
without an engagement. In the emerg'
ency she took up with noted
square" gambler, Dan Allen, and be-
came his common law wife. This re-

EIFFEL TOWER
IS CENTER Of
WIRELESS FIELD
HertZian Waves Fairly Siz-
zle About Big Pole
In Top.

PARIS, (Speeial) -Eiffe Tower Is
rapidly becoming the center of the
world SO far as the wireless is con
the hertzian waves sizzle.
In addition to the military station
there which France hopes to keep in
constant and instant touch with hel
African colonies, there is that which
sends the time to ships at sea.
Within a short period the Off
Gals in charge hope to be able tC
flash the hours of midnight and mid
day to every ship in the Atlantic
north of the Equator, no matter how
close they may be to the American
shore, also to those in the Mediter-
ranean and Red Seas. Even ships
in the harbor of New York may soon
record Paris time.
To know the time with absolute
accuracy, at sea, at present, without
wireless. is impossible. A ship
leaving New York, is in possession OF
the exact time down to the fraction
of a second.
At noon the day after sailing the
ships time is likely to be one, two
or even more seconds out, for hel
time is calculated by distance travel
ed, etc. Rigorous exactness, there
fore, is out of the question.
In the open sea, second or two
does not mean much. There are
times, however, wheA absolute exact.
ness is very important, as for in
stance when near land, shoals, etc,
One second means about 500 yards
in locating the position of a ship,
three seconds would be nearly mile
| and more than one ship has beer
lost by less margin than this.
The twice daily transmission OF
the time from the Eiffel Tower will
render tremendous service. Wire,
less travels at about 1900 miles
second.
The 5000 miles across the Allan
| tic would be spanned practically with
| out lapse of time anG since the clocks
| in the Eiffel Tower at Paris are cor
rected to a hundredth part of sec
| ond, and transmit their time to ships
| at sea automatically, the absolute
accuracy of ships-time is thus assur

The time is flashed at one minuts
before noon and midnight. at high
