muse OF WIRELESS
PRACTICALLY EVERY VESSEL IN
NAVY NOW EQUIPPED WITH
APPARATUS.

Washington, June 4.-Captain w. H.
G. Billiard, U. s. NJ, who is in charge
of the naval radio service, and who has
his headquarters under the shadow of
the three great steel masts which form
the center of the naval wireless sys-
tenn at Arlington, Va, seven miles from
Washington, has just presented to the
Naval Institute an interesting review
of the development of naval wireless
telegraphy.
The leaps and bounds of this develop
| ment are brought to pointed notice
when it is recalled that during the
Spanish-American war such thing as
wireless telegraphy was untried in the
United States mayor any other
navy. 1t was during 1899, the year
after the Spanish-American conflict,
that the British navy became the first
of all of the naval powers to try the
new means of communication upon
the three warships-Alexandri Eu-
ropea and Juno. These ships succeed
ed in communicating up to distance
Of "a miles.
Today practically every vessel in the
United States navy is equipped with
apparatus for this aerial communica-
ton, and it is so successfully operated
that there is scarcely a point in the
seven seas at which the bigger battle
ships would be out of touch through
relay, with the three great masts tow
ering over Captain Billiards. head
quarters at Arlington.

the same.

USE OF RADIUM IS
VERY DANGEROUS
SCIENTISTS SAY 1T MAY ATTACK
OTHER TISSUES THAN
THOSE DESIRED.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Berlin, June S.-The dangers attend
ing the use of radium are receiving
quite as much attention in Germany
as the corrective value of the sub
stance.
At a recent Congress on Diseases of
the Internal Organs, at Wiesbaden,
Professor Werner of Heidelberg Uni
versity declared that the difficulty OF
combining radium treatment to the dis
eased tissue made the use of radium
dangerous in the treatment Of cancer
and other tuners. Instances had been
noted where the radium attacked and
Destroyed healthy tissues and where
perNorations and bleedings followed.
III effects were also sometimes caused
If the diseased tissue treated by ra-
dunn could not be removed. Poison
GUS changes might occur with fatal re-
suits. With cancerous growths In the
mouth, larynx and throat, Professor
Werner seldom found any permanent
improvement through radium. Salts
factory results were obtained, how
ever in treating tumors of the throax,
and some were completely cured
There was also some improvement in
diseases of the bladder, but no perma-
nent cures Tumors in the spleen, on
the other hand, were most effectively
treated with radioactive substances.
Prof. de la Camp, of the Univer
sity of Freiburg, reported at the same
meeting that patients with tumors OF
the lungs had died after treatment by
radium.

JUDGE SCORES WORDS
OF FARISS' COUNSEL

Los Angeles, Jan. 3-Ralph Fariss,
Southern Pacific train bandit and STAY
er of Horace Montague, must be hang
ed in San Quentin prison within the
next ninety days.
This was the order of Judge Gavin
w. Craig of the criminal department
of the superior court yesterday af-
ternoon.
Immediately after Fariss was SEN
fenced his attorney filed notice of APP
peal to the supreme court of the
state.
"This will kill his mother" said
James Fariss, father of the boy, as
he shuffled out of the court room,
wiping tears from his eyes, after the
death sentence had been pronounced.
This was the second time that
Ralph Fariss had heard the words:
"You shall be hanged by the neck
until dead"
Judge Craig in sentencing Fariss,
announced he was not sure that he,
himself, is in favor of capital pun
ishment.
"If I had vote on the question:"
he said, 81 might vote against it, but

the law and it is not the courts

In explaining why he again i'm
posed the death penalty, Judge Craig
said there had been no evidence in
troduced since the preliminary hear
ing that would tend to show that the
death sentence should be changed to
one of life Imprisonment.
Judge Craig opened his remarks
with criticism of Wheaton A. Gray,
attorney for Fariss.
In his argument of his plea ask
ing for life Imprisonment, Gray con-
tinually spoke Of Fariss as a mental
weakling and argued that the shoot
