WIRELESS TELECRAPHy
REGULATED BY TREATY
important Maritime Nations
Unite to Obtain Best Re-
suits From New System.

Notifications of the wireless telegra phi
treaty signed at London, July ;, 1872,
probably will be exchanged at the Brit
ish capital within a few weeks by the
thirty-one signatory powers. The SEN
ate's ratification of the treaty few days
ago paves the way for this Formally, as
practically all the other governments are
understood to have approved the treaty,
which will become effective July /, 1913.
BY this convention the important mari
time nations of the world have linked
themselves together to obtain the widest
range of international usefulness of the
wireless without restriction as to it's fur
Their development.
Provision of Importance.
One Of the most important provisions
of the treaty is that compelling the free
interchange of communication between
ships and coast stations employing differ
ent systems of radio appliances. With
the Titanic disaster fresh in the minds of
the delegates, all opposition to that doc
trine faded
1t is provided that the transmission of
long-distance wireless messages shall be
interrupted for three minutes at the end
of every quarter hour to permit all sta
tons to listen for distress calls which
are given precedence over everything else
This was an American proposition based.
according to the report of the American
delegation to Secretary Knox, upon the
fact that at least two steamships which
were nearer the Titanic than the Car
pathia were prevented from hearing the
distress calls of the sinking vessel by rea-
son of the fact that the continuous trans
mission of press news prevented the tt
tanic's messages from being received by
ships fitted with radio apparatus of limit
ed capacity
Keep Watch for Distress Signals.
Other provisions of the treaty relate to
the transmission of weather reports,
measures to prevent interference of long
distance with ordinary wave lengths,
compelling the installation of wireless on
certain classes of ships and the MAIN
tenance of continuous watch for dis
tress signals.

PLANS WAR ON
PAWNBRoKERS
Some Are Trying to Give Police
the Double Cross" Gillespie
Declares

Police Commissioner Gillespie
threatens to begin open warfare on
the pawnbrokers. whom he accuses OF
attempting to "double-cross" the po-
lice department because he has re-
fused to extend special privileges
they have enjoyed In the past.
The police department has an elab-
crate and complicated Identification
system for the recovery OF lost and
stolen articles. Much of this stun Ia
recovered through the pawnshOps.
The pawnbrokers send In daily re-
ports OF wha; they receive and this
Is checked against the list of lost and
stolen articles reported to the police.
The plan worked out very well until
recently, when Commissioners Giles
pie issued an order that the pawn
brokers were not to be reimbursed for
the stolen articles recovered in their
shops.
Since then, the commissioner says,
the pawn sheets from many shops
have become practically valueless.
Friday the commissioner and Capt.
Robert Palmer caught pawn broker
to hide some stolen jew
elry from the police.

popular airs of the moment. To Sou
sa., Americans look always for the

bandmaster has yet to disappoint al
audience.
While the two men are of vastly
different temperament and national
ity, both are well-eQuipped musicians
