er at the end of that wire heard:
Hear Inventors Voice.

First came a small army OF dots
and dashes, in companies Of twos or
threes, and the faint rumble of fer
ry whistle at the battery. Then the
voice of DR.. McCaa:
"Are you ready? He's working
After a moment the dots and dash
es died away in a faint buzzing,
which gradually died out as the Vi
brations of a human voice began.
At first they were little less than vi
brations, but as the straining ear be-
came accustomed to them, the letters
of the alphabet could be heard.
I'D, E, F, G, H. and so on, ever
growing stronger, and more distinct
they came. Then, family again, Cap
tain Gibbs said:
81 will count" And he did, up to
20. The final numbers were heard
as distinctly as though the command
er of the Tyler were at the Herald
wireless station instead Of on his
bridge we'll down the coast. No an
swer could be made to him because
so far DR.. McCaa has not installed a
transmitting station at the Herald
wireless station.
The test to Brooklyn was not so
successful. DR.. McCaa was far from
being satisfied with the working of
his relays and the added interfer-
ence and resistance of the several
switchboards through which the Cap
tain's words had to pass to reach
Mr.. Walker was too much to be over
come by the intensity of the electric
al waves that carried them. Added
to this the wireless station at Fort
Worth, actuated by curiosity that
was common along the coast, was
frantically calling the Tyler to ascer-
tain just what was going on.
MIR. Walker Enthusiastic.
Il could hear his voice." said Mr..
Walker later, "but there were too
many other noises for me to catch
what he said" Mr.. Walker is en-
thusiastic about the possibilities of
"bridge to bridge" transmission by
wireless telephone as is demonstrat-
ed by the whole-heaIted manner in
which he has placed the Tyler at DR..
McCaas disposal.
"In time of danger, fog or any OF
the other periis that beset steam
ships, the wireless telephone would
be a wonder" he said. Il am glad
to hear that the experiments of DR..
McCaa are making such fine head
way"
Other. qualification than the sue
cessful working of the bridge COM
munication awaited DR.. McCaa last
night. Hardly had Captain Gibbs
finished talking with the main office
of the Herald before the station at
Philadelphia began to call the Tyler.
She is known along the coast as the
"Wireless telephone boat"
what are you doing tonight?'
Philadelphia asked, and then went
! on to explain that Captain Gibbs

WIRELESS PHONING 100 MILES.
Relayed From Steamer to Herald
Square via Wireless Station.

This is the story of the first wire
less telephone communication from
the bridge of a steamship, 100 miles
at sea, to a land station some dis
tance from the coast, as recounted
by the New York Herald.
1t occurred, says the Herald, when
Capt. Gibbs, on board the little
freight vessel Tyler, of the Old Do
minion line, fitted an ordinary tele-
phone to his lips and called:
Hello Herald, is that you?'
When he did that the Tyler had
passed the Roamer shoal, and was
about 100 miles from the Herald
wireless station at the battery, where
the messages were received and re-
layd to several points about New
York city.
DR.. D. G. McCaa, inventor of the
system employed, was at the Herald
station to hear the first successful
test of this epoch-maKing step in the
science of wireless communication.
The flood of wireless questions that
rained in on the Tyler from every
ship and shore station along the
coast was such as to make him be-
lieve that the years he has spent in
perfecting his system have not been
spent in vain.
Made Tests Last Year.
In June he succeeded in talking
from the Tyler to the Herald station,
but at that time the operator on
board the steamship spoke directly
into the instrument and his voice
carried only as far as the battery.
Several days later, by simply placing
the wireless receivers at the Herald
station against the transmitter of an
ordinary telephone, voice from the
Tyler was heard at the Herald office,
in Herald square, but the sound was
indistinct.
Last night Capt. Gibbs spoke from
the bridge. The relays that DR.. Nc
Caa has been perfecting, carried his
voice into the wireless transmission
apparatus on board the Tyler, whence
the electrical waves bore it to the
Herald wireless station. From there
they were again relayed first to Mr..
w. D. Terrell, the United States
wireless inspector, then to the main
Office of the Herald, and later to the
Brooklyn residence of Mr.. H. B.
Walker, president of the Old Do
minion line.
The Tyler cleared the hook at half
past seven O'Clock. Long before she
began her voyage, everything was
made ready in her wireless room,
and from that time on until morning,
tests we're made every half hour. 1t
was about quarter to eleven o'clock
when word was passed from the
wireless station to the main office of
the Herald that Capt. Gibbs was 60
ing to talk. This is what the report

"HOUSE OF ILL FAME" AGENCY
SCENTED BY OFFICIALS
There exists in Chicago an agency
which confines it's work to securing
places in houses of ill-fame of cities
farther west for denizens of Chica-
COS red tenderloin who find it desir-
able to leave the city. This was the
belief expressed today in the Office of
the federal department of justice.
Joseph Goldberg, proprietor of
saloon at 100 W. Madison ST., is now
being held in jail on a charge of VIC
lating the Mann white slave law. Fed
eral agents believe thatlin Goldberg
they have landed one of the leaders
of this new sort of vice trust.
Goldberg is charged with tran
sporting Florence Anderson from
Chicago to Superior, Wis, Jan. 2,
1914. Federal agents say they have
been hitting his trail ever since.
When the redlight district of Chi
cago was put out of business thou
sands of girls were driven from the
houses. Some of the girls took to the
streets. Others attempted to leave
the city to pursue their nefarioHs,
avocation in other cities. Other cit
les are also undergoing attempted
moral reform. There were few open
ings for the girls.
Then some wise ones who had tips
about good places started an agency.
They would sell the tips to the girls
or the girls would pay for being To-
Gated in places.
A concerted effort to break up this
new form of vice trust is going to be
made by city and federal departments
of justice.

could not get along with Chaplain
Allen, who was a Methodist Their
dislike was personal, Fitzgibbons said,
and the factional fight in the prison
was not as bitter as the prosecution
had tried to show it was.
J. G. Whistler testified this after
noon that he couldn't find the contract
for a patent that was supposed to have
been signed by Botkin and that he did
not know whether or not Botlxin had
signed it.

Considerable controversy has arisen
over Giffords release July &c
of this year, it being assert
ed that he was released un-
der a rule permitting the giving of
an extra good time allowance to pris-

per held that he was released 35 days
before the legal expiration of his time

Used Nearly so Witnesses.
Nearly fifty witnesses have been
used in the case against :otkin. The
testimony involved every brand of al
legged misconduct in office, incom-
potency, inefhciency and violation of
prison rules. Because the hearing is
not confined to strict court rules and
regulations, a wide range was allowed
in the taking of evidence and almost

every present employee with an anti
Botl&in leaning was called as a witness
against the prison head.
Almost from the hour the prison in
vestigating committee arrived in Ian
sing until the close of the case against
Botkin, a fishing expedition was con-
Quoted in search for evidence. The
evidence at Lansing concerned chiefly
the Clifford, Stalnacker and McGinnis
cases From time to time the prosecu-
ton directed its attention to charges
of Incompetence, ineficiency and mis-
mana cement.
Several prison employees were in

Among them was J. E. O'Brien, boss

O'Brien was chock full of informa-

Warns of Danger.

New York, Aug. Passengers
and crew of the White Star liner Gym
ric asserted upon their arrival here to-
day that the Cymric had been con-
voyed for thirty-six hours after leaV-
ing Liverpool, August IL, by relays OF
British warshipS, five in number, ano
that she had not been permitted to san
unaccompanied until the war zone
had been left behind. Several passen-
gers said the periscope of subma-
rine had ben seen, but off1cerS OF the
Cymric declined to discuss this as
sertion. The Cymric took virtually
the same course as the Arabic, torpe-
doed by a German submarine, had.
The Cymric carried 1S9 passengers,
of whom los were in the steerage.
Submarines Lurl< Near.
When the steamer left her dock the
high flag pole recently erected at the
mouth of the Mersey, where all out
going vessels could not fail to see it,
displayed the warning that German
submarine wsere lurking in nearby
waters. This warning, the passengers
said. was in the form of a big black
ball hoisted at the top OF the pole. II
had been agreed among ship owners at
Liverpool. it was said, that the black
ball was to be the sign of danger
when the admiralty's warning OF near
by submarines came to port too late
to warn outgoing craft by messenger
or telephone.
Before the Cymric was out of the
Mersey sailors provisioned the life
boats and swung them outward. The
passengers were assembled and as
signed their respective places in the
boats, so that there might be no con-
fusion in emergency
Warships in Relays.
When clear of Liverpool harbor, the
Cymric sighted q small cruiser, for
merIy converted yacht, which
ed silently alongside, sometimes
approaching as close as 200 yards, till
nearly sunset, when the second relay,
a fast vessel of the destroyer type. was
sighted ahead, apparently awaiting
the Cymric's arrival in her zone. The
cruiser dropped behind and the de-
stroyer took her place. That night all
lights, except caEdles. We're extfn-
guished and every portho:e was blan-
keted. The passengers slept with life
belts at their hands. All next day the
convoy was continued.
Four destroyers passed the ship
from one to another, each warshfp
apparently patrolling a certain zone
and acting as the liners escort
through her patrol.
Cymric's passengers, darted back and
forth and around the ship, circling
her frequently. Some time during the
night of the 18th the destroyers ceased
their solicitude over the liner and
dropped behind. When day came the
convoy was not to be seen and the
Cymric's officers told the passengers
that the liner was safely out of the
war zone.
