SAN FRANCISCO, July IA
First to operate municipality
owned street railways in the
United States, the people of this
city have just discovered the flu
tility of compromising on import
ant matters with public service
corporations.
THE LESSON is COSTING
THEM $500 TO $1,000 A DAY.
The United Railroads, a private
traction company, has secured a
court restraining order that prac-
tically hamstrings the municipal
ferry-exposition service.
Three years ago when the
United Railroads, after long
litigation, was about To lose
its operating privilege on
lower Market street, il jump
ed eagerly at the proffered
concession which allowed joint
use of the tracks with the
City's Geary cars.
Today, fla2rantIy violating
the very spirit of this friend
ly pact, the company says
with n shrug, business Is
business"
1t got the injunction from SUI
perior Judge George A. Sturte-
want, former director of the Unit
oil ntirnoIc thn prnnn1 III
the city had no right to run expo
sition cars to the ferry because
they had been put on subsequent
to the agreement.
In the agreement, made In
1912, no such limitations were
fixed, NOR WOULD THE PEG
PIE HAVE CONSIDERED SUCH
RESTRICTIONS IN GRANTING
WHAT THEY REGARDED AS A
! FAVOR.
1t is Judge Sturtevant's inter
probation. But that is enough.
| Recall petitions for Judge Stur.
tevant were soon in circulation.
City lines running from the
ferry to the fair since August
1914, have produced an average
gross income of $4,000 a month.
Half Of this, 1t is estimated by
Supt. Thomas A. Cashin, will be
lost through the effect of the re.
straining order.
And the city fears the exposi-
ton, with it's traffic cream, will
be over before a final decision is
had from the upper court.
Pending the city's appeal to the
state supreme court and the final
decision, the city lines will have
to transfer passengers going and
coming to the fair.

From Lawrence to Topeka, the line
will be operated on the south side Of

vided by a western electric line.
Everything Ready.
I'VE will be running cars into To-
peka in eighteen months, unless we
meet up with some mighty serious
trouble in construction.t Helm told a
State Journal reporter. Everything is
purchased for the building and equip
ment Of the line and under the contract
it can be used. Our big source of trou-
BILE is the construction OF a new steel
bridge across the Kaw river at Law
renee. From Topeka to Kansas City.
We will provide hourly express train
service, with thirty minute service
through Bonner Springs after the en-
tire line Is completed. This service
will enable the Bonner Springs patrons
to come to Kansas City and return and
will not interfere with the cars from
Lawrence and Topeka. &.
Our cars will be the best ever pur-
chased by a western electric line," con-
tinued the Kansas City brewer. I'VE
wi1lsprovfde vestibuled parlor cars, with
interior equipment somewhat on the or

As soon as a portion Of the Helm line
is completed, the service; win be ex-
tended. Active construction from Bon
ner Springs to Lawrence will begin az
soon as weather conditions will per-
NIT.
Asked il the Helm line would be ex-
tended from Topeka to Manhattan or
would connect with the Manhattan
Junction City-Salina electric line. Helm
said:
THAT is q matter to be considered
later. Just now We are building to To-
peka. After We get to Topeka. there
may be new objective point. We have
had some correspondence about the
tManhattan-Salina matter and it has
occasioned some discussion. Just now
though, we are building only to To-

FROM A kANSAN
SunflOwer Jeweler First Sug-
gested Sending Time by Wire.
Now Radio Telegraphy Makes
All Time Uniform.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 4.-The naval
observatory may be said to be the first
scientific institution of the government.
1t was established by the navy in 1912,
primarily for the purpose of rating
chronometers for the ships OF the navy;
in other words, to fix a standard of
time. Since then it has grown into one
of the first astronomical ObservatOries
of the world. Always a naval officer
has been it's superintendent, with a
large corps of scientists under his di-
rectiOn.
In the early days of the observatory
the device of dropping time ball at
noon was installed to notify Washing
ton of the time. In 1864, with the es-
adjustment in Washington of the tele-
graph fire alarm system, the transmits
sion of the noon signal by telegraph
from the observatory to the govern
ment departments in Washington was
begun.
In 1877 Kansas jeweler and watch
maker wrote to the department asking
il it would not be possible to transmit
parts of the country for the purpose
of permitting the better regulation of
clocks and watches. The suggestion
found favor. but, as the government
had no telegraph lines. the commercial
telegraph companies were invited to es-
tablish such a service.
Ever since then any person or cor
poratiOn desiring time service has been
free to run wires to the observatory
and establish an instrument there from
which. time signals are automatically
sent. This made standard time COM
paratively cheap and gave it wide cir
culation. = =
But the development Of radio teleg-
raphy broadened the field. In 1906 the
navy began to send out the time sig
tnaaS fromAits seacQast NttEeleaR aetatiQAa,
|rAceivjnx them by.1teIeHrApl6fxNm the
naval observatory Even this was not
absolutely accurate. In all wire te1e-
graph sending there is a lag, SO called.
Wire biography Is almost instantas
neous, but not quite so. Wireless Is 80
fast as to be practically instantaneous.
Then came the establishment Of the
wireless plant at Arlington. with its
three great towers, one 900 feet high
and two $50 feet high each, with a
sending capacity Of 5000 miles. In De-
cember, 1912, time signals were sent ex-
perimentally from this station. Then,
at the midnight which ushered in the
new year of 1913 went forth the first
New Years signal. Not, however, until
March 81, 1913, did the regular time
service from the Arlington station be-
gin.
Since then it has gone out twice a
day. at noon and at 10 p. m. The night
signal is of particular value. as it has
been found that conditions at night are
best for long distance transmission.
