DRASTIC LAWS TO
CONTROL WIRELESS
WILL Be SOUGHT
American Delegates to Con.
gress in London to Ask
Changes.

Wireless operators on ocean going
steamships throughout the world will
be compelled to stop and listen at
stated intervals, perhaps every thirty
or sixty minutes, for calls OF distress
from other craft. If the recommends
tions Of the American delegates to the
international radio-Communication con-
gress in London in une are favora bly,
acted upon by that body. These dele
gates. who have been chosen from the
executive depa artments and from scien-
tific institutions, are now meeting In
Washington to draw up suggestions for
action by the International body Be-
fore a final draft is made they will be
submitted to the State Department Of
fcials for approval.
1t Is known that the American dele
gates will urge that stated wave
length be employed by wireless oper-
ators at sea for commercial purposes
that an entirely different wave length
be used in sending messages relating to
distress signals or matters of emerg-
ency; that the latter wave length be
employed in disseminating on the ocean
reports of meteorological conditions,
storm warnings, and weather forecasts.
The delegates are also said to favor
the plan advanced to Congress to COM
pei the big liners to carry two, or per-
haps three. wireless operators, and that
one of them should be on duty at all
times, night and day.

CITIZENS OPPOSE
ABOLITION Of THE
EDUCATION BOARD
Northwest Suburban Asso-
citation Meets and Dis
cusses Pertinent Topics.

Resolutions condemning the Commits
sloners bill for the abolition of the
Board of Education and the appoint
ment OF a director of education were
adopted vt a meeting of the Citizens
Northwest Suburban Association in
Masonic Hall, Tenleytown. last night
The resolution states that the action OF
the Commissioners in introducing the
measure was nothing less than a con-
spiracy against our present public
school system, the only local institution
controlled by our own citizens free from
military discipline"
The recommendation Of the Commits
sloners is declared to be an unwarranted
attack on the Board of Education insti-
gated by the personal enmity of the En-
gineer Commissioner against certain ef-
ficient and active members OF the
Board OF Education.
Col. Charles c. Lancaster, president
OF the association, introduced the reso-
luton which was adopted unanimously.
The association went on record as OPP
posing the bill providing for an, election
to determine the sentiment of the COM
munity with regard to imposing addi-
tional taxes on real estate in order to
make up the deficiency in the police and
firenen's pension fund. Resolutions
condemning the measure, introduced by
j. X. Kramer. were adopted.
Approval was given the bill intro
duced by Senator Gallinger to continue
the present water rates to private con-
sLmers. Resolutions introduced by
Otho NJ. Burroughs, urging that imme.
date improvements 5e made to county
| roads and suburban streets were
adopted.
