THE WIRELESS EQUIPMENT
OF Ocean Going Steamers Must
Henceforth Be Up to Date.

Washington, July 1.-THE confer
ence report On the new wireless law
framed from the lessons of the Titanic
disaster and requiring wireless opera
tors on duty constantly aboard ships.
was adopted by the House, Wednesday.
and now requires only the President
signature to make ii law.
The conference report was on Sena-
tor William Alden Smiths bill intro
duced shortly after the ocean TRACE
dy The measure requires that all ves-
sells carrying 80 or more passengers
have at least two wireless operators
ANA that they be on duty continuously
1t is further required that the wireless
apparatus be powerful enough to re-
ceive and transmit messages at least
Zoe miles and that each vessel have an
auxiliary power supply Independent of
the ships main electrical plant TO
maintain communication.
The bill was framed largely on the
evidence i'm the Senate investigation OF
the Titanic disaster. which showed
the failure of nearby ships to hear or
answer the big liners calls of distress.
One feature of the measure places the
operators under the direct orders of the
master of the vessel and provides a
fine Of 800 upon the operator for every
violation The law would apply to all
vessels entering or leaving American
Ports and to cargo carrying steamers
on the ocean and the Great Lakes.

National Commission Disposes
OF Several Baseball Players.

Cincinnati. July 1.-THE National

down decision In the case Of Player
Douglas Smith, declaring him under no
contract to the Philadelphia National
League Club. The Philadelphia Club con-
tended Douglas Smith. who signed with
the Boston Americans. subsequent to
June y, was under contract to them.
Their claim was based on a statement
of Smiths brother and guardian, written
ON the back of an unsigned contract,
pledging his brothers services to Phil
adelphia The commission held that this
constituted no contract.
In another finding the commission re-
voked a previous ruling that the st. Paul
American Association Club pay $500 to
the St Louis Nationals for the release
of Pitcher Golden. The player was in
capacitated for pitching and for this rea-

The provision for free tolls to Amer

Senator Lodge admitted that the

such q course could be avoided by the

contonded that no foreign government

England is~not worrying about its

New Bedford, Mass, July IA dis
orderly demonstration by crowd OF
1000 strikers and strike sympathiZers
occurred, today, before the gates of the
Butler mill in connection with tht
strike and lockout affecting u cotton
mills of this city and resulting in 13,0ot
persons being out of work. For more
than an hour the strikers and friends
held their position near the mill and
refused to allow operatives to enser
the gates to begin work. During the
disturbance three arrests were made,
one of the offenders being a woman,
who vigorously resisted being held

died roughly by the crowd but escaped
injury. When the strikers made their
appearance there We're only three POI
licemen near the Butler mill and they
were unable to hold the crowd II
check. A squad dispatched from police
headquarters dispersed the strikers
from the mill gates. Most of the per-
sons engaged in the demonstration
wore the button of the Industrial
Workers of the World or an Ettor but
ton. After the demonstration had sub
sided many OF the workers in the But
Ter mill entered the gate under police
protection.
At the Whitman mill crowd IF go
strikers gathered at the hour of be-
ginning work, but beyond engaging in
a noisy demonstration, there were no
developments.
After the police had taken their three
prisoners away in an automobile the
suggestion was made by someone in
the crowd that the prisoners be res
ehed from the officers. Accordingly 400
or 800 strikers marched to the center of
the city. BY the time the police station
was reached the crowd had dwindled
to less than 100, and these were quick
ly and easily dispersed by three or four
policemen.
The prisoners were Frank ]. Andrade,
French; Antoine Camara, Portuguese,
and Sophia O'Gara, Polish.
The prisoners arrested near the But
Ter mill were foundguilty of disturbing
the peace and assault and were given
prison sentences. Miss O'Gara and
Camara were sentenced to one year
imprisonment each and q six-months
sentence was imposed on Andrade.
Judge Milliken said that peace and
good order must be preserved during
the labor trouble.
When informed of the disturbances,
John Holm. president of the Textile
ouncil said he was opposed to riotous
action by the strikers. He advised the
strikers to remain away from the mills
and expressed the opinion that picket
ING was not necessary. Chief of Police
Henry w. Mason issued a statement
warning the strikers against further
violence. He said he would preserve
peace and protect property at all haz-
Yards.

at the Butler mills came at / O'Clock.

RAILROADS BEHIND PROTEST
OF Great Britain Says Representative
knowIand of California.

Washington, July H-President Taft
was told, today, by Representative
Knowland of California that Canadian
railroads, acting in sympathy with
American railroads, were behind Great
Britain's protest against free tolls
through the Panama canal for United
States ships.
mot the slightest objection was made
by Great Britain" said Mr.. Knowiand,
until committee of Canadian rail-
road men took the question up with the
British government. There is little doubt
that American continental rail-
roads prompted the move
Mr.. Knowland also talked with Secre-
tary Knox.
Both the President and the secretary
of state are standing for the right OF
the United States to pass certain Amer
lean vessels through the capal free.
Montreal, July 17.-Slr Thomas
Shaughnessy president of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, today, denied absolutely
that his company had made any repre-
sensations to Great Britain regarding
the matter of tolls through the Panama
caIal e. G. Chamberlain, president of
the Grand Trunk, made similar state
ment, several days ago.
Canadian railway men generally were
inclined, today, to make light of Rep.
Knowland's assertion that the Canadian
railways inspired Great Britain to pro-
test against the Panama bill in its pres
ent form.

Stockholm, July 1.-THE fifth and
last event in the military riding COM
petition at the Olympic games saw the
United States team retrograde from
second to third place. Four teams
competed. Sweden, Germany and tine
United States each represented by four
mer, and France by three The Eng
lish and Danish riders abandoned the
competition. The style and appearance
of the horses ridden by the officers
counted largely in this event. The for
eign officers had animals which were
far more costly than those of the
Americans, some of whose mounts
are merely picked cavalry horses and
the horses rather than horsemanship
turned the scale.
Col. Frederick S. Foltz, who is in
charge of the American army officers
here, is confident that they are as good
riders as those of any army ard most
of the spectators agree with him.
The individual scores in this compe-
tition, after the completion of the fifth
event. today. were: Nordlander. swed-
en-, first, with 1859 points; Rockow.
Germany, second, with 46.42 points
Coripn, France third, 1896 points. Then
came two Swedish officers and one
German with fractions over as points,
and these are followed by LIST Lieut..
Ben Lear. 18th Cavalry, who is placed
seventh, with 1871 points; 1st Lieut..
John c. Montgomery, 7th Cavalry.
ninth with 45.SS points: Capt. Guy V.
Henry, 18th Cavalry, 18th, with i5.5f
points. and LIST Lieut.. E. E. Graham,
18th Cavalry, 18th with 1870 points.
The official record of the combined
scol es in the five competitions in which
the military officers participated, shows
that Sweden is first with 545 points,
France second. with 53s. Germany
third, with $50, and the United States
fourth, with 527.
