WIRELESS COMPANY
VIOLATES RULES

Washington, D. c., Oct. 16.-Rear
Admiral Moore, commandant of the
naval station at Honolulu was ordered
today to close the Marconi wireless
station there within twenty-four hours
unless the company gave a satisfac-
tory explanation of the sending of a
wireless dispatch announcing the ar
rival of the German gunboat Geier
Admiral Moore had reported the
sending of the message during the
temporary absence yesterday of the
naval officer on duty at the station as
Ia censor. The gunboat had just ar
rived from Tsing-Tau, conveying the
German steamer Lookson, which had
been impressed into service as a
collier.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt retarded
the transmission of this dispatch as a
clear violation of neutrality because it
gave positive information of the opera
tons of a belligerent advising the
world of the gunboat's actual position.
Reports from Honolulu that the
Geier, after taking on half the amount

LOCAL RAILWAY To
IMPROVE SERVICE
STREET CARS WILL BE RUN
THROUGH FROM EAST TO WEST
WITHOUT CHANGE.

The demand for a better street car
service on the east and west lines OF
the city, has led the company to make
an Improvement in it's trackage faclli-
ties on East Main street and switch
has been constructed there between
Cooper avenue and Elm street to ex-
pediate the movement of traffic. With
this done the new through east and
west service is to be inaugCrated and
the early part of next week will wit
ness the same cars going on both lines
which will be made continuous run.
This change will obviate the trans
fer of passengers from the east line to
the west end and vice versa. The loop
car will be cut out and a 10 minute
rush hours while a Is minute run will
obtain in the more slack time of the
day.
The east end car will have to be
boarded on Main street when paSSen-
gers going in that direction wish to use
the service and no cars will run east
on Second street. Persons destined in
west direction will be able to get the
car at the waiting room but east bound
passengers will not. Starting from the
east part of the city the cars will turn
at Green street and coming around that
section of the loop, will proceed west
on Second street to the end of the line.
The return Is made via Main street
from the car barns or Milwaukee cross
in- and thence on that thoroughfare to
the end Of the line near the Mineral
Springs.
The company claims that the service
will be improved by the change and
more people accommodated than under
the present system. A reduction in the
number Of cars will be made and west
end patrons will be given a faster
schedule during the rush hours.

CATHOLIC MISSIONARY ORDER
WILL BUY TWENTY-FIVE ACRES
NEAR DIES MONIES.

Des Moines, Oct. ia monastery
to accommodate not fewer then sixty
priests and a seminary for students
preparing for missionary work, is to
be established in Des Moines by the
Passionist Fathers, missionary order
of the Roman Catholic church, with
headquarters In Rome
"A tract Of twenty-five acres located
within the city limits will be pur.
chased within few days by repre-
sentatives of the order, who later ex-
pect to erect building containing
125 rooms. A residence viii be oc-
cup,ed in the city during the. erection
of this building.
The Rev. Father Benedict of, Louis
vile, KY, who has been making the
arrangements for the: permanent 10.
cation of the mission headquarters in
the city, yesterday afternoon off,
cially. confirmed the rumor. Accord
ing to the Rev. Father Benedict, Des
MONIES will be the most western out
post of the society and won out in
close competition with many of the
largest cities In the middle west.
New Orleans offered a bonus of a
large tract of valuable land. The Rev.
Father Benedict made the choice, he
says, because he believes in the com
mercial, educational and religious
future of Des Moines and because OF
of the railway advantages. The near.
est headquarters Of the order is in Chr
cago.
The Very Rev. Father Alfred OF
Chicago, head of the province, and the
Very Rev. Father jerome, first con-
sultor, were in Des Moines this week
inspecting the pieces of property under
consideration. A preference was made
and the deal will be closed within a
few days.
The monastery, seminary and work
Of the priests will be independent OF
the Des Moines diocese. These priests,
however will be available as assist
ants at feast day services, as pulpit
supplies and to conduct missions In
parishes for the spiritual uplift Of the
church members. The priests will have
no parishes, according to the agree
ment made with the Rt. Rev. Austin
Bowling, bishop of the Des Moines
diocese. The Rev. Father Benedict
last spring conducted the mission at
the ST. John parish and was the preach
er Easter Sunday at the services held
at st. Ambrose cathedral.
When the building has been COM
pleted and equipped it is expected that
not fewer than thirty priests will be
at the monastery to act as instructors
in the seminary for boys and to con-
duct missions in the parishes through
out the west and middle west. Il
The boys school to train them for
the priesthood and mission work will
have an eight years course of study.
The first year is spent as an novftiate,
two years in the study of philosophy,
four years in the study of theology
and one year in sacred eloquence.
The Passionist Missionary society,
which has stations in many Of the
European countries, Cuba, South Amer
lea and Australia and In the United
States, was founded 200 years ago by
Father Paul of the Cross, who was a
missionary priest fifty years.
