The great wireless station at Say

American naval officers and will be
operated by the government until the
close of the war, to insure against
violations of neutrality. The navy
department now has control of all di-
rect communication by wireless be-
tween the United States and Ger
many. The British ambassador at
Washington, basing his request on
the indictment of several persons at
San Francisco, charged with enlist
ing recruits for the British army, has
asked the state department to define
the governments view respecting the
action of English patriotic societies
or other unofficial agencies in send
ing British subjects from the United
States to volunteer in the British
army. The British government, it is
said, will protest if the United States
takes the position that this action is
illegal.

PROMINENT athlete
GENE VIDAL OF MADISON RANKS
WE'LL UP WITH THE BEST.

Madison is destined to occupy a
conspicuous place on the athletic map
through her college student athlete,
Gene Vidal, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Felix
Vidal of this city. Gene, who is a
student in the state university at
Vermillion, is spending his vacation
at home, resting from his studies and
the laurels he has won on the athletic
field. Recently he attended the ma
tional meet of college athletes at
Lake Geneva, Wis, and took part in
the events with 900 competitors in
attendance. While we have not a
record of his successes in the events
at hand, friends of the young athlete
of points in the events in which he
entered than any of his competitors.
Conspicuous among these events was
the run and high jump in which he
tied at 6 feet, within 2 inches of the
worlds collegiate record.
During the past two years or more
Gene has been a star on the athletic
field of the state university, occupy
ing leading positions in baseball,
football, basketball and track sports
and of the many successes won by the
university he has contributed largely
to their victories by his prowess. The
university football team has played
successfully with many of the leading
college teams of the middle west, in
all of which Gene has been a prom
inent factor. Like most young men
who make a success of their under
takings Gene is extremely modest,
and while he has been specially men
toned and pictured by the big daily
newspapers of Minneapolis, Omaha
and other cities where with his col
lege team he has appeared in the field
of sports, at home his modesty is SUI

CURB and GUTTER
THEY ARE BEING INSTALLED IN
THE RESIDENCE SECTIONS.

There is considerable movement in
the city in the work of installing curb
and cutters fronting residence prop
erty. Contractor Koepp is complet-
ing a line in North VanEps avenue
fronting the properties of j. III. Cole,
ID. G.. Beatty and extending south to
Eighth street and fronting the resi-
dences of Mrs. John Walden and
John Kingsley. The curb is placed
at the outer line of a fourteen foot
parking, and adds greatly to the Up
pearance of the property. besides the
benefits of drainage. Curb and gut
ter has been installed in many resi-
dence streets of the city and the time
is not distant when the residence por-
tons will be entirely covered.
According to the additional value
added to the property and the appear
ance and drainage facilities. the cost
is not great. Contractors are install
ing curb and gutter at about 60 cents
per lineal foot. or so cents for curb
and 80 cents for gutter. As an in
ducement to residence property own
ers to make the improvement the city
commission pays half the cost of the
gutter, reducing the cost to the prop
erty owner of curb and gutter to As
cents per lineal foot or $22.50 per
fifty foot front lot.
Nothing adds more to the appear
ance of a street than a neat cement
curb and gutter. and property owners
generally should lose no time in maxi
ing the Improvements.

REAQ ADr1IRAL BRAOLs
ALLEN HSlG.

WASHINGTON, July 27-The
navy department 1t is said Is keenly
interested in an aerial torpedo boat
for attacks on ships in protected har-
bors, projected in patents just issued
to Rear Admiral Bradley Allen
Fiske, now attached to the navy war
college, but formerly aid for opera
tions to Secretary Daniels.
The plan contemplates equipping a
monster aeroplane, similar to a nuCi-
ber now under construction in this
country for the British government
with Whithead topedo Of reguil-
ton navy type
Swooping down at distance Of
five sea miles from the object OF at
tack, the aircraft would drop its dead
ly cargo into the water just as 1t
have been launched from a destroy
er.
The impact with the water sets the
toFpedo's machinery in motion and 1t
is off at a speed of more than forty
knots an hour toward the enemy ship.
1t is said to be possible to control
the torpedo by radio waves, one aero
plane carrying the trpedo and anoth-
er the wireless controlling appara-
tus.
1t is pointed out that AdmlraP Fiske
secured patents on such a method OF
control in 1900 when he was lieu
tenant commander In the navy.

DIDN'T LIKE THE TELEPHONE.
Indians Predict that 'I1ttle People
Inhablting Mesa Verde Cliff
Dwellings VIII Destroy line

The Indians living near The cele-
brated Mesa Verde in southwestern
Colorado are interested in the out
come Of their predictions about II. G
telephone line which the government
has Just completed into the Mesa
Verde National Park. They declare
that the poles won't stand and that
the wires won't talk When asked
why, they solemnly reply that the "llt-
tie people" will permit no such un-
canny things to come near their an.
cient homes. Nor can they be per-
suaded to the contrary. The white
men viii see for themselves. pretty
soon.
The Indians live in great awe Of
the prehistoric dwellings OF the Man
COS valley, which are, by far, the fin
est and best preserved Of any in the
American southwest They will not
believe that it was Pueblo Indians. or
any Indians in fact, who, so long ago
that the oldest traditions describe
them as they now are, carved these
wonderful cities out Of the cliffs.
They believe that spirits built the
cliff dwellings,, and that spirits still
inhabit them. They reyerently call
these spirits the little people"
For this reason It is difficult to in
duce Indians to approach the cliff
dwellings. Whether or not the con-
tinued success of the government tel
e9hone line will shake their super.
stition remains to be seen.
