ENDS WIRELESS
TELEPHONE TEST
FROM HONOLULU
Lloyd Espenschied, Who Has
Been Talking With Ariing-
ton, Concludes Experiments;
Expects Commercial Future
for Scientific Achievement

Concluding, HIS part in the wireless
telephone tests which have brought
Hawaii to international attention In
the last two months, Lloyd Espen-
schied of the American Telephone &
Telegraph Company of New York, 4
railing for the mainland this after
noon on the Lurline.
Temporarily the wireless telsphOne
experiments which brought Arlington.
Va, and Honolulu into touch by the
exchange of the human voice are be-
ing discontinued. but In the firm be-
lief Of Mr.. Espenschied 1t viii not be
long until what are now scientific
tests will be developed into CONNER
cial transactions and the wireless
telephone will be an asset In business.
He is taking with him the simple
Instruments set up at Pearl Harbor
through the courtesy and cooperation
of the navy officials, and SO for a
while Honolulu will probably hear no
more Of the wireless telephone here.
"But something with develop before
long to bring this into the commercial
field" predicts Espenschied.
Wireless telephone communication
was established on the nights of Sep
tember 80, 80 and October l, between
Arlington station and Honolulu. Since
that time there have been further
tests.
One of the sensational achieve
ments Of Espenschied's experiment.
ing here was the hearing of conver-
sation by wireless telephone between
Arlington and Paris. The Paris sta
tion is only listening station, but
Espenschied, at Pearl Harbor, heard
all that was said at Arlington. This
was late in October.
Espenschied gives much praise to
the navy officials for their help, and
says also that his company is very
glad to work with the navy as pa
triotic development of science which
may some day be extremely valuable
to the country.

various site negotiations have been
willing to give for publication the fig

as federal building sites, but II has
been known by businessmen with q
fair degree OF accuracy what the sites
were held at Thus rumor has had II
that when Assistant Secretary Byron
r. Newton was here In September the
Irwin site was available at $225, 600.
Reports also say that the Spreckels
site, regarded as the only alternate
site the government was seriously con-
sidering, was first placed at $275,000
and later lowered to s266.000.
On September 80 Il was announced

is understood that about two weeks
ago the Irwin site representatives

too high, though Il would appear that

 BITTERLY SCORED
Commission Appointed By House Reports That His Managers In-
 terferred With Investigation.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The re- port of the commission appointed by congress to investigate conditions in the Colorado districts where strikes have occurred has been received by the House. The report severely crit icises John D. Rockefeller and the other owners of the mines, for their refusal to arbitrate their cases.
 The report of the commission states the managers of the mines used every measure possible to prevent the com mittee from securing evidence as to the working conditions under which the men at work as we'll as their living conditions. The companies are also reported to have imported des- peradoes from other states to serve as deputies in the strike districts and that many murders have resulted in the clashes with the strikers.
 The commission, it is reported, will urge a complete investigation of the conditions in strike district by fed eral grand jury as means of clear ing the situation.
