EARLY PROJECTS FAILURES
Since July 27, 1866, New World Has
Been in Continuous Communica-
ton With Old by Subma-
rine Cable.

New York.-lt is little more than
half century since the completion Of
the first permanent Atlantic telegraph,
observes the New York Evening World.
Since July 27, 1866, the new world has
been in continuous and uninterrupted
communication with the old world by
means of the submarine cable. The
final success was achieved only after
several disheartening failures. As
early as 1S43 Prof. Samuel +. Il.
Morse suggested the possibility of an
Atlantic telegraph line.
Just u decade later Cyrus w. Field,
wealthy merchant, became interested
In plan for laying an underground
cable across Newfoundland and in the
following year, 1851, he secured the CO.
operation of Peter Cooper, Moses Tay-
lor and others In u scheme for trans
Atlantic cable. The manufacture of
$500 miles of wire was completed in
1857 and the task of laying it was com
menced ut Valentla, Ireland, In August
of that year, two American and two
British vessels being engaged. After
few miles had been laid the cable
snapped. This was repaired, but after
300 miles of wire had been put down
II snapped again and the vessels re-
turned 10 Plymouth.

Diver Tells OF Difficulty in Locat.
ing Wreck Of Treasure
Ship.
CASH AND SILVER BULLION
Other Wrecks Are Found by Treasure
Hunting Crew, One Of Them APP
parently Being That Of
a Steamer.

Norfolk, Va.-Searching for sunken
ship on which there is over $l,0OO,OOO
in money and silver bullion, the treas
ure-hunting crew of "a men under the
command of Capt. George Stillson, n
master diver, inventor and expert In
submarine engineering, is not proving
an easy task. Stillson says.
The treasure-laden ship is. or was,
the Ward line steamer Merida. She
was sunk In the summer of 1911 about
fifty-fve miles off Cape Charles Light
ship when she was rammed by the
freight steamer Admiral Farragut.
The Merida carried over 300 passen-
gers, all of whom were taken off by
the Farragut and transferred to the
Old Dominion steamer Hamilton
which landed them in Norfolk.
Among the passengers were num-
Der of Americans fleeing from Mexico
They had with them the savings of
their lfetimes and these savings they
say, were locked I'm the safe In the
office of the purser of the Merida
When the steamer was struck the wa
ter poured through the hole In her
starboard side so fast that they did
not have time to save any of their
valuables.
The Merida also carried silver bull
ion said to have been worth over 5000
600. The pursers safe is filed with
money and jewelry. The vessels car.
go was fruit.

Success Short Lived.

A storm caused the failure OF a
second attempt, but the third voyage,
In 1858, was successful, and the juno
ton between the two continents was
effected by 2,059 miles of wire Wretch-
ing from the Irish coast 10 Newfound-
land. Messages We're exchanged be-
tween Queen Victoria and President
buchanan and there was great rejoic-
ing on both sides Of the ocean.
The jubilation proved premature.
however, for In n short time the cable
ceased TO work and was branded fail
ure. The faith of Field did not waver.
and, although the Civil war prevented
an early revival of the project. in 1866
a new company began the laying OF
another cable. The famous vessel, the
Great Eastern, was dispatched to Ire
land with the wire, but again the
project ended In failure.
Mr. Field then launched the Anglo
American Telegraph company. and in
July, 1866, the Great Eastern steamed

Baseball Club Manager
Sued For Damages
For Assaulting Woman

Denver Colo, Jan. 13-Alleging that
James o. McGill, Denver baseball club
owner lured Mrs. John Coffey to a
lonely spot east of Denver in August
and assaulted her, John Coffey, former
manager of the club today sued McGill
for $4,000 damages. Mrs. Coffey at
the same time asked 4 similar amount
in second suit.
These actions revealed for the first
time the reason for Coffey's recent
resignation of the managership.
Mrs. Coffey' s complaint, almost iden-
tical with her husband 8, recited that
McGill, against her wishes, and despite
her protests, overpowered her. She al
legged that MeGill then deserted her in
the fields, forcing her to walk a long
distance to the nearest carline, while he
returned alone to Denver in an automo-
bile.
Mrs. Coffey swore that McGill in
duced her to accompany him on his
promise that Mrs. McGill would be a
member of the party.
Coffey resigned from the manager
ship two days after the alleged assault,
and a mysterious silence surrounded his
reasons, leading to various explana-
tions.
McGill had only returned to Denver
yesterday from the east where he had
been attending to baseball and auto
mobile interests.

Weinhard's Big Plant
viii Remain Open To
Make Temperance Drink

Rather than close down their great
plant at Portland, the Weinhard com
pany have retained their men and arc
manufacturing new temperance drink
in strict conformance with the Oregon
prohibition law.
Golden and Amber nectar is made of
Oregon hops and barley and contains
vital strengthening qualities which
will make it favorite throughout the
state. 1t took many months of expert
menting and research to bring this new
product up to its present state of per-
fection. Mr.. Henry Wessinger of the
Weinhard plant took great pride in
creating them. His identity with bust
ness interests in Oregon for so many
years prompted the desire to keep the
Weinhard plant in operation after Janu-
ary LIST, and to give employment to
many. employees who have been con-
nected with this concern for years.
Mr.. Wessinger is determined in his
effort to prevent and violation of the
law in the sale Of Golden and Amber
nectar. He required a cash bond of
$3.50 which is subject to forfeit if any
dealer is guilty of selling Intoxicating
liquors under this new temperance
drink.
"Here's one bit of proof of our
policy regarding this new drink" said
Mr.. Wessinger in talking with q re-
porter the other day. 1t was letter
written to a man in Madras, Oregon.
Now, in regard to yours of January
3rd, in which yon say that your district
attorney is going to prevent you from
selling our nectar, all we have to say
is, that if this should really be the case,
we would prefer it not to ship any at
all and return to you the money paid
to u.s." This shows that Mr.. Wessing-
er is absolutely sincere in his statement
that nothing will be done contrary to
law or Interpretation of the law.
"We are frank to state'', continues
Mr.. Wessinger in this letter, "that we
do not desire, even in the remotest way,
to offend any public official or to do
anything contrary to law but as ex-
planned before, the people when voting
on the question, certainly voted only
on intoxicating malt and Intoxicating
vinous liquors. Grape Juice, although
vinous in its very origin, is recognized
all over the United States as one of the
leading temperance drinks. Our nectar
is certainly in the same class as it con.
tains not to exceed one-fifth of one per
cent of alcohol while meat contains one
per cent, sugar more than that and a
number of other foodstuffs used in
everyday life contain more or less, at
least small quantity of alcohol.
There has been considerable misun-
derstanding and a gross abuse of the
term Near beer". Many people have
no idea what this term really means.
Originally it was used to designate beer
that contained approximately 9 or 9
l'2 per cent of alcohol, hence the name,
while nectar is practically free from
alcohol containing much less than al.
lowed by law and therefore is strictly
a temperance beverage.

VilliSta Officers Jailed
To Prevent Mob Attacks

FL Paso, Texas, Jan. 13.-To guard
against violence toward them as re.
suit Of the Santa Ysabel massacre of
Americans, General Manuel Banda and
twelve other prominent former villista
officers were thrown into Jail today
on vagrancy charges.
At the same time, General Manuel
Medinaveitia, former Villista chief of
staff was jailed on charge Of murder
in connection with the execution Of
Peter Keene, an American rancher at
Rubio, chihuahua, recently.
The arrests followed discovery Of q
plot of angry Americans to lynch Cen
eral Jose Ynez Salazar who was suspect.
ed Of ordering Tom Fountain, popular
American mining man, before a Mexi-
can firing squad in Parral, in 1912.
The 20 Americans who called at
Salzar's hotel were also believed to be
bent on other lynchings, also, to avenge
the Santa Ysabel massacre.
The police, however, learned of the
plans and spirited Salazar away in an
automobile.

Letter Writing Plans
Discussed Last Night

Letter writing week and what Salem
expects to do as its share was fully
discussed last evening at the Com
mercial Club whom the members met
with the publicity department.
The main features of the great let
ter writing which will begin in every
city in Oregon next Monday and ex-
tend throughout the week, when every
body will write to his friends in the east
about their own locality, are as follows:
Every business firm is expected to
write at least 80 letters.
The school children are to write, and
if arrangements can be made with the
Pathe company Of Portland, moving
pictures will be taken when the children
line up at the postoffice. This matter
will be decided definitely in day or
so.
For those who want to send letters,
but have no time or the inclination to
write, public stenographer will be
found at the office of the Portland
Railway Light & Power Company, who
for nominal sum will write and mail
letters.
The theatres will also do their share
in bringing the letter writing before
the public by running slides of the
proclamation Of the governor, setting
aside the week of January II to %.
At the commercial club may be OBJ
tanned sample letters which have been
written by the committee of which the
Rev. r. S. Gill is chairman.
The churches will also take part in
the general boosting of Oregon by sug.
gestions made from the pulpits.
In other words, now is the time to
get ready to write.
