UNCLE SANS WIRELESS GAME.
Takes Charge Of "Itadiography" Next
Friday--Licensed Operators.

Washington, Dec. 8.--An extern
siye system Of government supervis-
ion over wirr less telegraphy will be-
come effective next Friday, four
months from the date Of the enact
ment OF the law. Plans have been.
made to carry out the new system,
both as to the shore stations and
steamships and the army and navy
stations.
Government license hereafter will
be required for all shore stations and
for steamers leaving American ports.
These licenses are being prepared,
based upon inspection by government
experts. There are several hundred
shore stations along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts, the Gulf and the Great
Lakes and Puerto Rico. The num-
Der of steamships required to carry
wireless apparatus under the new
law is estimated at 1000.
Every steamer with carrying ca
pacity OF SO passengers on trips ex-
ceeding 200 miles Is required to have
two operators for it's wireless equip
ment, in order to provide continuous
watchfulness for signals Of distress.
Safeguards for quick communication
between the bridge Of steamers and
the wireless operating room are pro-
vided.
If accident to the ship should de-
range the current for the aerial tele-
graph, provision Is made for auxili-
ary machinery to continue the wire
less in operation. The government
plans, about to be put in force, COM
bine the act Of August 13 last, and
various preceding acts, together with
regulations issued by the department
Of commerce and labor governing
many details Of radio communica-
ton.
The country has been divided into
nine districts, to carry out the super
vision, the divisional headquarters
being located at New York, Balti-
more, Savannah, New Orleans, San
Francisco, Seattle, Cleveland and
Chicago.
The government inspectors are re-
quired to visit the shore stations and
ships to report on the equipment and
efficiency Of instruments. These re-
ports were to be made the basis Of
Licenses issued by the government.
No station Or ship will be permitted
to operate to wireless plants without
such license. Wireless operators
also must be licensed.
a new law was framed shortly at
ter the Titanic disaster, and one Of
Its provisions gives right of way
for distress signals as follows:
All stations are required to give
adequate signals and radiograms re-
lating to ships In distress; to cease
all sending on hearing distress sig
nails; and except when engaged In
answering or aiding the ship in dis
tress, to refrain from sending until
all signals relating to the distress call
are completed"

deem it both due and appropriate
that some record be made OF the es-
TEEN in which he was held by the
surviving members, both as a man
and as an earnest, faithful and eff
cient co-laborer in defense of the in
terests of farmers and farmers in
stitutions.
Mr.. Pickett assisted in the organi-
zation Of the Farmers Club" at
Poplar Springs several years ago, was
a charter member of the Farmers
Alliance, organized about the year
1890, and was also a charter men,
ber Of the Union and served as an
officer during his connection with
the organization, or until the time
of his death. His efficiency in the
capacity of officer won for him the
confidence Of his fellow-members,
who generally delegated him to rep
resent them in State Farmers Con-
ventions, where, on account of his
experience and extensive information
along agricultural lines, he was gen
orally recognized as authority in
matters in connection with the in
terests of the organization,
Brother Pickett was steadfast, but
honest and conscientious in his con.
victions, never aggressive, yet never
hesitating when remonstrance was
necessary. He was always ready to
lend a helping hand when occasion
demanded.
We, therefore, as a committee, do
commend his life Of active useful
ness to the surviving members Of the
Union, who, with ourselves, exceed
ingly deplore the loss Of so influen-
tial and highly esteemed brother
We recommend that copy of this
acknowledgment Of our appreciation
Of Brother Pickett be Incorporated
in the minutes Of our Union, and
that copy be furnished the family
Of the deceased, and also recommend
that county papers copy. Signed:

-,w#c DETECTIVES WE'RE SLAIN.
Ambushed by Striking Railroad Men,
Pitched Battle Ensucd.

Hackensack, N. j., Dec. 12.-
Seven hundred striking New York,
Susquehanna and other eastern rail-
road employees, ambushed under the
palisades overlooking the lower Hud-
son river, opened fire with shotguns
and rifles on a boat load of strike
breakers landing at coal docks in
Edgewater, and in a pitched battle
which ensued two railroad detectives
were killed and a dozen other men
wore wounded
telegram requesting that the
State militia be called to quell the
disorder was sent to the Acting Gov
ernor Of New Jersey by General Su-
perintendent Stone, of the Erie rail-
road. Mr.. Stone escaped storm of
bullets fired by strikers as he was
seeking shelter in a building.
The men, hiding behind rocky cliffs
and trees, waited until a scow had
discharged its cargo Of men brought
to take the strikers places. A volley
Of blank cartridges did not frighten
the strikebreakers, who pushed for
ward toward the railroad tracks on
the coal wharf.
The men in ambush then left their
r'aces Of concealment, and, firing real
bullets, attempted to swarm out upon
lie dock wharf. They were met at
re gates by the private detectives,
,armed except for clubs, who en-
gagged in hand-to-hand struggle. A
fusilade Of shots brushed the officers
aside and they fled for safety, except
the mortally wounded, Graw and NAL
lory. The strlkebreakers. under fire
of bullets, fled along the shore Of the
Hudson and concealed themselves in
the woods in the palisades.
Three hundred employees (for-
eigners) Of the Susquehanna, which
the Erie railroad controls, quit work
Monday, demanding wage increase
Of five cents an hour, but officials Of
the railroad would not grant the in
crease. There was q clash yesterday
between strikers and detectives, and
one Of the latter was slightly wound
ed by gunshot.
Mayor Clahan, Of Edgewater, took
personal charge Of the situation.
baading q force Of half a hundred
deputy sherffs, he visited the coal
docks, prepared to give battle If the
strikers made trouble. A search of
the woods was made, but no one car
rying arms was found.

LIVING WITNESS SWORN DEAD
Declares Husband Not Alive, and He
Marches Into Court Room.

New York, Dec. 12.-The $4,000
Mrs. Helen Cauley, a trained nurse,
against David Sherard, came TO an
abrupt end yesterday, when Andrew
j. Cauley, husband Of the woman,
suddenly appeared in court. Mrs.
Cauley had testified her husband
died nine years ago in Pennsylvania
town. Half an hour later she was on
her way to the Tombs, where she was
locked up in default Of $4,000 bail,
charged with perjury.
OF those who witnessed the sud-
den turn in affairs none appeared
more surprised than her husband,
who had been called into court with
out knowing the nature OF the action
in which he was to teystify. 1t devel-
oped that he didn't know his wife

was no hesitation. That was when
it came to telling about her dead"

been married in 1902, while he was
AS to just what position he occupied
she was little uncertain. Then
with a plaintive note she turned to
the jury.

She had no sooner stepped down
from the stand than a short, smooth
shaven man came into the room, fol-
lowed by two men from Mr.. Whit

"Take the stand" said G. X. Nc
Guire, attorney for Sherard. "What
Is your name?"
ANDREW J. Cauley."
"Do you sec your wife in this

A site that has been mentioned as a possibility is a residence of the Princess Giovanni del Drago. at tic northeast corner Of Fifth avenue and Sixty-second street.
 The Knickerbocker is one of the most exclusive clubs in New York. II was founded as sort of offset 10 the Union club by several men, who. like the late John Jay. father of Col.

The Union was rather far down the ay- enue in those days and had long waiting list and there were many men in New York. where society was even then begin ming to grow, who were willing to join an organization where they didn't have to wait for the; deaths of long lived mem bers of the Union to get in.
 When the new club was started it's membership was limited to 45O. At that time the corner of ThirtYsecond street was considered pretty well up country, but since then the center of clubland has moved much farther uptown.
