The experiments took place Tuesday
and Wednesday nights OF last week.
and "wednesday night Of this week.
The wireless telegraph station at Ar
lington was used by the company's ex-
perimenters. After much difficulty the
Eiffel tower station lin Paris was OBJ
tained as a receiving station.
The fact that France is at war made
difficult the receipt OF messages in
Paris. But a few moments each night
were allowed the American engineers
for experiments.
Despite unfavorable conditions the
voice went from Arlington east to Paris
and west to Honoiulu-about 5000 miles.
Officials Of the Navy Department took
deep interest In the experiments, al.
though they were in charge Of the tele.

Full appreciation OF the interest and

to the military necessities. the amount
OF time available for the wireless tele'

constitute a serious handicap to .
speedy completion Of the work. Added
to this was the handicap resulting from
the fact that all regular communication

great time, coming back into the
American league with piece of mis-
tletoe attached to bis coattails, di-
recting the attention Of Charley Co.
miskey and Ban Johnson to the dec
Grafton.
Now we are assured that peace has
been finally declared in baseball, with
the papers signed and sealed.
And still the magnates and powers
that be in baseball are working on
the theory that the fans shall not be
considered in any Of their plans, and
Just what the real terms of the peace
agreement are yet remains secret.
It is idle to believe that what has
been given out regarding the Cincin-
natl meeting of organized baseball
and the Feds is all that occurred. If
the Federals were in any position to
make terms at all, and they certainly
were, with the Lands suit still unde-.
cided and the National league wab-
bling, they were able to secure more
than Garry Hermann admits.
The only real definite point so far
settled is recognition OF every player
who deserted organized baseball. No
man who jumped his contract will be
barred from the National and Ameri-
can leagues. This is victory for the
athletes, and, incidentally, for the
Fed owners, who viii be able to sell
their men where they will.
Hal Chase, Marsans, Chief johnson
and the rest of the hoppers can come
back twiddIing their thumbs, and Ban
Johnson, who used to give out long
statements about the bar that would
be raised and kept against jumpers,
will have to watch them perform.
Even when a house has fallen on
them the baseball magnates will not
learn their lesson. The last two
years, with their parade of shrunk-
en- bankroIls and decayed interest in
big league baseball, have taught the
clubowners nothing. They must still
have their fling at politics and 90 on

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL KINDS BOXING

have demonstrated that they can get
along without organized baseball and
still have sport.
1t will take more than a mere
peace agreement to revive interest in
sport. The entire plan of baseball
as practiced in the past few years
must be revised. The game must be
put on a plane of craftsmanship and
kept there, and then the fans will be
won back.
Any one but a baseball magnate
would realize this. 1t would be ap-
parent for, if the magnates had ear
Iier been on the level with their pa
irons there would not have been
ghost of a show for the Federal
league to even start. :.
Some owners still in the game
should be weeded out.
In the peace agreement, which we
are assured is official, it is not even
made certain that Charley Weegh-
man will purchase the Cubs or that
Phil Ball will get the st. Louis
Browns.
Ihese TWO events VIII happen, OF
course, but the organized magnates
are not prepared to admit that the
plan is cut and dried. They prefer to
let the inference out that Weegh-
man and Ball must depend on the
willingness of Taft and Bob Hedges
to sell.
There again shows the thickhead-
edness of the magnates. Every one
knows that the organized people
have been aching for some years to
get new owners for the Cubs and
Browns. A purchaser with the real
kale would be hauled in and frisked
at once, getting the franchise in ex-
change for his coin.
Also there is considerable staIIing
about the Cleveland American club.
Gwinner of the Pirates might have
purchased that team few days ago.
He might even do so now, but the

 His story is that of a year and a half of hardship and deprivation but bow engrossed he is in his task is disclosed by his return to that deso- late section where he expects to ob- tain something more definite in the way of facts and figures relative to the discovery which he has made. How long it will require is as uncer- tain as his previous attempt but he has the experience of his former visit to guide his actions and there is added ground for the belief that he will emerge victorious.
 It is taking time and much sacrifice but gradually is knowledge being ob- tained of the Arctic fastnesses. Such work as Stefansson and other Polar explorers are doing is steadily cutting down the amount of unknown terri tory that exists and it is only a ques- tion of time before the geographical and other scientific conditions will be revealed.

GOOD THING FOR HAITI.

The taking over of the control of the customs of Hayti and the placing of the United States in charge of a constabulary force of Haytians opens 8 new epoch in the troublesome histo- ry of that republic. It is action which has been considered advisable for a long time in view of the inability of the people of that country@to proper ly handle the reins of government, but it is move which this country did not want to make until it was cer- tain that Hayti could not rise to the situation and work out it's own saliva tion.
 This country is thus committed to do for Hayti what it has succeeded so well in doing for San Domingo. There the plan has worked to the financial betterment of the republic but even now San Domingo is not able to go it alone. It still needs the guiding hand of this country and promises to for some time to come. That its finances have been strengthened out and the footing of the treasury by po- litical revolutionists has been stopped are accomplishments which operate to the credit of the receivership must be acknowledged, even though the in- fiuence of the deserving democrats
 policy has done it no good, and they had much weight when the same pro- position was advanced in behalf oi Hayti.
 Having control of the custom houses
 and being in charge of the finances
 this country stands ready to render g like service for the whole island anj | it should prove the necessary strong 1 influence in protecting Hayti from tho fatal results of it's own inconsiderat; l acts, which have been so g1aring 1T | the past
