 i NEW YORK, Sept 3O.--WirelesS ! telephony from the Atlantic sea board l to Hawaii. a distance of 46O0 miles is accomplished fact. By the special wireless telephone develop ! ments which have been made by the engineers of the American Telephone | and Telegraph company and of the Western Electric company, speech was transmitted last night from Washington to q wireless station near Honolulu. If anything further was needed to show the wonderful capacity of these new discoveries by the engineers of the Bell system this last triumph coming but a few hours after NIT. Vail, the president of the company, had talked by wireless from Washington to MT Carty. it's chief engineer. located at Mare Island, near San Francisco is conclusive The distance over which this wireless communication was held is greater than the distance from New York
 to London. New York to Paris or from New York to many other i'm
 portant points such as Rome, Vienna
 and Berlin.
 Tfat transatlantic wireless tele-
 phone communication is assured as soon as the disturbed condition in
 Europe will permit of tests from this country to there is obvious when 1t is remembered that all scientists
 agree on the fact that it is much
 more difficult to send wireless tele-
 phone communications across land
 than across water. This wonderful
 wireless telephone message from
 Washington to Hawaii had to pass
 over the whole of the United States. q distance of 2500 miles before t encountered the more simple wireless conditions which exist when sending over large bodies of water For the
 purpose of this test the sending was
 done from the navy wireless station at. Arlington, just outside of Wash
 ington. The receiving was done on small wireless antenna specially
 erected for the engineers of tlie telephone company, which. by per mission of the naval authorities was located at the United States naval station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
 The message at Honolulu was re- ceived by Lloyds EspenscAied, an en- gineer of the American Telephonc
 and Telegraph Company, who had
 been sent there by J. J. Carty, chief engineer, to take charge of the ob- servations, the successful results of which it is not now possible to de- termine.
 It was learned from Bancroft Gheradi the engineer of the plant of the American Telephone and Tele- graph company, who is one of Mir. Cartys staff who have been work ing on this problem, that the results obtained yesterday in talking by wireless telephone from New York ana Washington to San Francisco and Hawaii were continuation of long and very important investiga tions and discoveries which have been made by the engineers of the Bell system. These Investigations have extended over a considerable period. During the early spring of this year, as a result of the work already done, the engineers of the telephone company talked over a dis tance of about 250 miles, using for the purpose an experimental tower which they had erected near Mon tauk Point, l.. l., and a small tower borrowed for the purpose from pri- vate owners at Wilmington, Della ware Soon after that they talked over 1000 miles. in this case using the experimental tower at Montauk Point and an experimental tower erected at St. Simons Island, Ga The results of these tests so con demonstrated the correct - =. -,
