WIRELESS MESSAGES
FROM THE FROZEN NORTH
Proposed to Establish q Station at
SpitEbergen, 76O Miles From
the One at Hammerfest.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.


CHRISTIANIA, April -. 1911.
The establishment Of wireless teleg-
raphy station near tHammerfest was re-
solved upon some time ago. II has now
been decided to open another station in
Spitzbergen, and a bill has been brought
forward providing for the necessary ap-
preparations for both stations.
1t is hoped that the WORK will be com
pleted this year. The Spitzbergen station
will probably be in Green harbor. II
viii be kept open all the year round, and
viii be In charge OF three or four men,
The distance from the Hammerfest sta
ton Is 80 miles. With regard to the
question of rates, il Is suggested that
20 cents word should be charged for
messages between the two stations and
the regular rates for retransmission.
The establishment of the station At
Spitzbergen will. OF course, solve many
problems which have hitherto been be-
yond solution in those remote regions.
where the fate Of expeditions has often
remained unknown for months. II will
at the same time open up great possi-
bilities for the exploitation OF new fields
Of enterprise. The Initiative which Nor
way Is taking will not affect the question
Of future control. as the Spitzbergen sta
ton may be left to the common govern.
ment OF this No Mans Island, should
such common government be established.

AUTOMATIC ARMY RIFLE
LATEST WEAPON Of WAR
Said to Have Been Perfected
by Austro-H Hungarian Mill
tary Authorities.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
VIENNA, April %. 1911.
A great sensation has been caused by
the publication in the Zeit. a paper usu-
ally well informed on military matters,
that. after long endeavors. the Austro-
Hungarian military authorities have sue
ceeded in constructing a perfect model
automatic army rifle. The new weapon is
said to be considerably lighter and TO
have q smaller caliber than that now in
use by the army. Practice with the new
rifle is now proceeding on a large scale,
troduced into the army The above
named paper gives further details. and
states that the caliber is six millimeters.
The rifle is being constructed at the Steyr
armOr works.
This report is, however. disputed in
semi official note. The Fremdenblatt. In
evident anger at the indiscretion, says
that the only detail which is correct Is
that the Austro-Hungarian military
authorities. as in the case in many other
states. have allowed a trial to be made
OF an automatic weapon. The report,
says the paper, is only intended to bene-
flt the shares of certain ammunition
factories in Austria.
The Zeit also publishes interesting de-
tails of the pending reforms in the Austro-
Hungarian army. 1t Is intended to mt
out the heavy artillery anew. each of the
thirteen corps being provided with heavy
howitzer divisions Of three batteries. COM
posed of four six-inch howitzers. This
plan will be put into force Immediately
after the passing of the new army law.
Models Of these guns are now being test
ed while experiments with modern four
and-a-half-inch guns for the field artillery
are in progress.

COTTON GIN HEARING
HAS ANIMATED SPELL
Hammond and SuIIy Engage in
Verbal War and Talk
of Blows.

Verbal pyrotechnics formed a material
| feature in the proceedings before Exam
liner Harper yesterday during the contin-
uation Of the presentation Of evidence in
the suit of Daniel j. Sully, the former
cotton king" Of New York against John
Hays Hammond and others for $500, 600
damages for alleged breach Of contract

spiracy to ruin the international bust
| ness reputation Of Sully.

Hays Hammond, millionaire noted min
ing engineer and soon-to-be ambassador

der cross-examination by Attorney John

Questioned Sully's Nerve.
Mr.. Cuttings described a certain meet
ing between Mr.. Hammond and Mr.. Sully
at which he asked II there had not been
| a row." during which Mr.. Sully had
told Mr.. Hammond to 90 lowell, q
particularly warm climate
The witness declared Mr.. SulIy would
not have dared to make such remark
to him.
MI Suily was sitting OlreCIly across
the table from Mr.. Hammond, and at the
latter's imputation Of his lack OF nerve
he Jared up Immediately.
Plaintiff and defendant thereupon ex-
tended to each other particularly hearty
invitations to sOjourns Of unlimited length
in the same extra-hot region, but when
the exchange of amenities was concluded
Attorney Cuttings, for Mr.. Sully. and At
torney Philip Walker, for Mr.. Hammond
agreed that the superheated language
might be expunged from the record.
Unable to Remember.
Attorney Cuttings devoted many of his
questions to an effort to secure an ad-
mission from Mr. Hammond that he had
entered into q contract with j. j. Welsh
treasurer Of the National Cotton I'm
provement Company. to sell the stock Of
that concern, but Mr.. Hammond could
not remember and said papers could be
found in his office which would throw
light on the subject.
The hearing will be resumed late this
AFTERNOON.
Motion Is Overruled.
Justice Barnard today overruled with
out prejudice the motion Of Mr. Hammond
to have Sully required to furnish bond to
| secure the costs Of the litigation.
Mr.. Hammond says Sully is q non. resi-
dent, and under the rules of court re-
quired to furnish security for costs Mr..
Sully claims to have both a business and
q resident domicile in the District.

Ditch digging with dynamite is the

Max Ostner, the farmer who makes the
communication, says that dynamite has

bitches in that part Of the country are

use OF the dynamite digging system is
that the land shall be wet and swampy
The amount Of wet does not matter, Just
so a laborer can stand and punch a hole
in the ground. In digging ditch by this
impulsive method the ground is checker
boarded. with holes just big enough to
take stick of dynamite all along the
line where the ditch is to run. BY a
special system of firing all the shots can
be set off at once-at least there was one

HAMMOND NEWS
WORK rs GOING
ON MERELY

The work of circulating the remon-
STRANGE against the closing of Johnson
street on the north side is going for
ward satisfactorily, and Mayor John d.
Smalley stated today that every prep
aration is being made to fight for the
rights of the city in this matter.
One of the open street partisans calls
attention to the fact that enough stress
has not been laid on the fact that
Johnson street was considered SO i'm
portant thoroughfare at one time
that the main north side sewer was laid
along that street to the river
While 1t Is true that an easement
might be granted to the city, 1t is
pointed out that If Betz choose to
build over the street he could make the
city bear the burden of fighting for its
right to have access to the sewer
1t is also pointed out that Betz and
the Simplex Railway Appliance compa-
ny WOULD be getting land valued at
nearly $4,000 from the city without
paying a cent for it.
