Some of the later extensions OF wire

practically every minute during the
trip across the Pacific until after New
Zealand was reached.
At that time also the high-powered
naval station near here. to be the
central point of the navy department
system, was projected. The station
was to have a radius of 1900 miles
both day and night; to be capable of
overcoming interference from static
disturbances and to be equipped with
apparatus to secure secrecy OF opera

that this could not be entirely accom-

complete secrecy of communication.

headquarters at Arlington.
The first trial of wireless on Amer
dcan warships was made late in 1899,
directly after the British ships had
proved its possibilities. The armored
cruiser New York (now the Saratoga.
the battleship Massachusetts and the
torpedo boat Porter were the first to
be equipped. At about the same time
the Highlands Light Station in New
YORK harbor was established as the
first shore station of the naval radio |
system.
Z Within six years more than 80 more |
ships were equipped, and some fifty |
shore stations established or project
ed. Almost every other vessel in the
navy was then placed on the list for
wireless equipment and the work went /
Forward just as fast as possible. The
scheme included both the Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards. Alaska, the Midway
Islands and remote points.
Meanwhile. in the spring OF 1905, the
naval system inaugurated what have
proved valuable daily features OF fits
the noon time signal,
storm warnings and other meteorolog-
teal observations.

| For some days there has been talk
of descent of the women's organfza'

capital may be the scene at any time
of spirited contest in which women
will play a large part.
The women's fight upon the racing
measure has been taking shape for
some weeks and crystallized Sunday
in a huge mass meeting under the au-
spices of a number of leading women's
clubs and addressed by leading speak
ers of both sexes.
Boycott Is Planned.
The women plan to boycott mer-
chants who support tie racing bill,
which provides that New Orleans shall
decide the subject for itself at local
option election.
Backed by $4,000 signatures to a
petition, the bill was introduced in the
lower house of the general assembly
and sent to the city affairs committee,
from which a report is expected to-
day Besides the referendum feature
the hill provides that betting be per-
mitted under the pari-mutual system
and that racing be governed by COM
mission much the same as in Ken

Get Counter Petition.
To combat this petition women are
systematically canvassing the city to
gain signatures to a counter petition.
In the legislature both sides claim
majority. The bill has strong support
from the so-called city ring, while in
the country parishes there is much |
opposition.
