NEW WIRELESS PLANT
IN U. S. DISTURBS NAVY.

Washington, Aug 10.--An inter
national tinge has been given the
passage of a wireless control bill
by the House, through the discovery
that a powerful wireless station at
Sayyille, l.. L., practically command
ing New York harbor, is controlled
by a corporation reputed to be un
der the Influence of the German gov
eminent. It is being observed by
the Navy Department and the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
Officials here have quietly been
watching its progress and trying to
determine if it comes within the
provisions OF the Lodge resolution
recently adopted by the Senate, de-
claring that the Unied States could
not see without grave concern the
actual or potential possession Of any
harbor or other place on the Ameri-
can Continent by any government
not American, when possession
would give to such a government
practical power Of control for naval
or military purposes.
Another feature affecting the in
ternational situation is contained ID
a provision prohibiting the operation
of any private wireless plant within
fifteen miles of certain government
stations" Officials who have been
concerned over the erection of the
tower Of the Sayyille plant, which is
even taller and fully as powerful as
the great government plant now be
ing erected near here at Fort MyeT.
have been awaiting the action of
Congress on this provision.
The wireless bill makes obligatory
the use of many safeguards not now
In use.

The Latest Arctic EXPLOIT.

There il thrill to the stories OF
polar travel and discovery for the
reason that such travel necessarily
calls forth the quality of human
heroism. EAe story told by Captain
Elmer Mikkelsen of his expedition
in northern Greenland, when he was
for two and a half years out Of touch
with human beings and was gFyan
up as lost, forms the latest of these
heroic chapters of arctic adventure.
The narrative itself IL simple, mod
est anu matter OF fact, and it Is only
by reading between the lines that
there comes a realization of the dan
gers encountered.
Captain Nicholson had but one
companion, and the two were both
i'll at different times, Mikkelson him
self being attacked by that horror
Of high latitude, scurvy, Their sup
plies gave out and at times they
faced starvation. Finally they had
to eat their dogs and to drag the
sleds themselves. When finally dis
covered their hair and boards had
grown 50 long that the sailors almost
mistook them and were about To fire
on them as musk oxen.
The expedition was undertaken to
discover the whereabouts of pre-
vious exploring party led by Captain
Myths Erickson. All that was fountl
was Captain Erichsens narrative,
and this was brought back to civiliza-
ton. His account, coupled with tho
observations OF Captain Mikkelsen
himself win furnish valuable geo
graphical data concerning a part Of
the world hitherto practically I'M
explored. Thus by the heroism and
sufferings Of a few men all men viii
gain in knowledge But this will
not be the only gain. Such en-
amples themselves are priceless In
the lessons they teach.

ALL MORMON WOMEN
AND CHILDREN HAVE
REACHED THE U. S.

Santa Monica, Cal Aug. g
President Joseph Smith OF the Nor

mon women and children had safely
reached the United States from Mex
leo but that the men of two colo
nies. Colonia Juarez and Bublam,
had armed themselves and would not
depart.

TELLS OF ESCAPING
MEXICAN REBELS.

san Francisco, Aug. 10.---A tale
OF adventure and suffering in Mex
leo was told here by William Ben
der, who said he arrived from the
Southern republic by way Of No
gales, Ariz. He told Of his capture
as spy; of having been held as
prisoner by the rebels, who made
slave OF him; Of being condemned to
death by courtmartial; Of his escape
and a tramp OF 400 miles to reach
the United States.
Bender said he was born in Ger
many but became an American
when his father was naturalized
After being graduated at Cornell he
became a First Lieutenant in the
Ninth Regiment Of New York Nat
onal Guard. Later he spent a year
as volunteer in the German army.
Bender, according to his account,
returned to Mexico and went pros
pecting in chihuahua. He was
stopped and searched by rebels.
They found his National Guard uni
form and arrested him as an Amer
lean spy. The rebels held him cap
tive for eight months, he said, and
made him do the mental work in
camp.
II had heard of the foulness of
Mexican prisons, but ! never imag-
ined there could be place so awful
as that into which | was thrown,
he said. One day the guards threw
into my cell two rattlesnakes with
the hope that they would kill me
r killed the snakes. The same per-
Torrance later was repeated"
Later, said Bender, he was con-
demned to be shot, but he made
friends with one of his guards, who
aided him to escape. In making his
way to the west coast he had to
cross a river on log, but the cur
rent carried him along for / 8 hours
before he succeeded in reaching the
banks. Bender said that after many
hardships he reached Mazatlan, but
being unable to obtain WORK
tramped to Nogales, where he
earned enough money to pay his
railway fare to this city

MEMBERS SPLIT
ON RESOLUTION
OF BROUSSARD
Ransdell and Humphreys Appear
Before Rules Committee
Opposing Measure

Washington, Aug 10.--An hour
and a half was used by Representa-
tives Broussard and Ransdell of
Louisiana, and Humphreys, of Mis-
sissippi in a discussion before the
rules committee of the Broussard
levee resolution. Messrs Ransdell
and Humphreys opposed it as need
less for the reason that the Misss-
sippi river commission is gathering
the engineering data and congress
itself, they submitted, will be able
to decide the question Of policy in
volved in the proposal to have the
federal government take over the
construction and care of levees,
without the help of any committee
on rivers and harbors.
Representative Broussard insisted
that the Democratic platform declar-
alton means that there shall be
some change In the manner of deal
ing with the question, else it would
not have been adopted. He said the
suggestion that the river and har-
Dor committee has jurisdiction Of
the subject means nothing to him,
because every time it is proposed to
have a change in the method OF do
ing something somebody rises up to
say that the proposition means TAX
Ing jurisdiction from some commit
tee already in existence.
"lf the gentlemen from the Mis-
sssippi valley cannot agree" said
representative Pou of North Caro-
lima, how are the members of the
house who know nothing about the
matter personally going to form an
opinion?"
Representative Ransdell said he
Endorsed unreservedly the PROPOSE
ton that the government shall take
over the completion and care OF the
levees, but disagreed merely as to
the necessity for appointing a new
committee to advise the house on
the subject.
