Rome, March 15.-William Marconl
has achieved notable success with his
experiments in long distance wireless
telephone communications. The in
ventor has been conducting a series Of
tests from the Italian battleship Re-
gina Elena on the high seas. During

signals from Canada, 4,O62 miles away,
by means Of wireless telephony. on
4Ie last day a radio-telephonic con-

DEAD LINE" AGAIN
FOR ALL CROOKS
If They Go Below Fulton Street
They Must Beware of the
Vigilant Dog.

Commissioner Mckay has re-estab-
nshed the dead line" 1t was done
quietly. No order was posted. But spe-
cial men will be on duty to-day, and
tie word has gone out to crooks that
they must not venture below Fulton
street.
Wall Street and Maiden Lane will
breathe more comfortably. Since former
Police Commissioner Waldo abolished
the dead line robberies totalling
more than 100000 have been com
mitted.
Numerous complaints that notorious
"con" men and safe crackers were back
I'm their old haunts were made TO Com
missioner Waldo. He replied that there
was always a policeman on hand, who
would know what to do If the men were
pointed out.
Oldtimers on the police force were
first noticed back on the dead line"
Saturday. They say they were amused
to see "the sign" passed at John street.
and that several crooks who ventured a
few feet further beat a hasty retreat.
The dead line was first established
bv Inspector Thomas F. Byrnes in 1880
There had been robberies amounting
TO more than 100000. Byrnes put
policemen on Fulton street and let all
the crooks know that II they tried to
pass that line they would be arrested
The plan proved effective for years.
