WIRELESS CANNOT
STOP COLLISIONS
Operators No Help in Safe Navi-
cation of Vessel Dur
ing Fog.

Philadelphia, February 17.-While
wireless telegraphy has been the means
OF saving hundreds of lives in times
OF disaster at sea, 1t has yet to prove
that II is of any particular use in pre-
venting collisions, when ships are
within short distance of each other
in a fog. This was the opinion ex-
pressed to-day by the board OF steam
boat inspectors. which is conducting
the trial here of Osmyn Berry, captain
of the steamship Nantucket. charged
with negligence in the collision with
the steamship Monroe. Besides being
accused OF not reducing his speed in
Il fog, Captain Berry Is charged with
'carelessness and disregard OF ordinary
prudence" In not causing his wireless
operator to ascertain the proximity OF
other vessels equipped with wireless
The board expressed the above
opinion after IT had examined r. L.

Monroe The operator could give no
instance where he ever had been q

CATION of his vessel in IL fog.
Inc board was of the opinion that
"here steam vessels were within two
miles OF each other, the time would
be too short for captains TO ascertain
their positions and then exchange this
knowledge through the wireless opc-
rators, and again with ships running
on dead reckoning in fog. captains

Etheridge testified that wireless ope-
rators do not get sufficient pay; that
boys as young as sixteen years are en-
gagged at S25 a month, and cause lots
OF trouble. Licenses, he said, are easy
to obtain.
Other witnesses to-day examined
were j. Il. Gateley. second officer of

FALSE IMPRESSION.
WILSON DECLARES
Denies Emphatically His Core
spondence Is Handled With
out Religious Prejudice.
TWO LETTERS MADE PUBLIC
President Says Intimation Against
His Secretary, Tumulty,
Is Absurd.

Washington, February 17.-In let
ter to w. w. Prescott, editor of the
| Protestant Magazine published here.
President Wilson has denied emphati-
cally that his correspondence is handled
tary, Joseph p. Tumulty. The CORES
pondence made public to-day by the
magazine follows:
January 15. 1914
The President Washington. d. c.:
Sir,-1 learn from personal Inter
views and correspondence that there
Is widespread feeling among Pro-
tostants that 1T is practically impos-
siblo for any communication relating
10 the activities of the Roman Cath
Ole Church to reach you personally.
Tor thorcupon all such letters are with
held from YOU by your private secre-
tary, MIR. Tumulty. 1t Is unfortunate
both for you and for the country that
such an impression prevails. and that it
seems to have some foundation.
Before dealing with this subject In
this magazine. l am writing to ask for
II statement from you which might be
or service In restoring confidence
among some of the best citizens OF
this republic. Any reply, however
brief, showing that this letter actually
reached you, would be n source of sat
isfaction.
when you were Governor of Now
Jersey, | wrote YOU concerning some
CRITICISMS of your course In which YOU
were charged with showing favoritism
to the Roman Catholic Church. and
your reply placed the matter in such
"a light that did not deem it noces-
sary TO make any reference to the sub
1ect. My desire Is to deal fairly with
public men. and hence this letter
Thanking YOU for any attention
which you may give to my request,
am,
Yours very truly
wv. w. PRESCOTT."
The Presidents reply under date OF
January 10, 1914, reads:
My Dear Sir:
ALLOW me to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter OF January 10,
and to thank you for your candor in
writing me
II beg leave TO assure you that the
impression that any part of my cor
respondencc Is withheld from me in
any circumstances by my secretary on
account of religious predictions on
his part is absurdly and utterly false
j venture to say that no President ever
had more frank and satisfactory rela-
tons with his secretary than have
with mine. The whole of my CORES
pondcncc is constantly open to me. Mr.
InmuitY is more prompt. perhaps, to
call my attention to matters III which
his prejudice is supposed to be engaged
than to other matters OF relative In
difference
'Of course, / need hardly add nm
not speaking from an Impression, but
from my knowledge of Just how my
correspondence is handled.
Sincerely yours.
