CRANDEST SCRAP in
HISTORY, HE SAYS

ut was the grandest scrap in the
history Of the nation said Col. VIII
liam Dwyer Just returned from the
Chicago convention.
Being Of Irish extraction Col. Dwyer
found great enjoyment in the standpat
Bull Moose scrap just closed in the
windy city" Il tell you, my boy it
was grand. simply grand" he said.
"Why, at times the debates and the
arguments in the lobbies of the big
hotels would become so spirited that
total strangers would land on one an
other with all the lack of formality
usually evidenced by old friends.
Roosevelt was in evidence every
where except on the tally sheets.
Somehow or other he had the rooters
and the pluggers and the shouters
and the fighters and everything else
necessary to his nomination behind
him with the sole exception of the del
egates. If he had have had a few
more delegates he might have stood
some show"
Col. Dwyer stated that he returned
to Chickasha by way Of st. Louis,
stopping off there and intending to
stay over and see Wilson nominated.
Unfortunately the Democratic conyen-
ton seemed a tame affair following
the half weeks scrap at Chicago and
the colonel came on to Chickasha in
self defense
When asked where the vote Of the
Progressive party would go this fall,
Col. Dwyer said that the big end Of
it would logically land back in the Re
publican column. He estimated
roughly that of the 100000 voters
who followed the Big Bull last cleo
tion. fully S.500.OoO were at heart Re
publicans. anxious to return to the
party from which they had wandered.

London, June l-(By mail)--ln fu-
ture, when giant aeroplanes are max
ing nonstop mail and passenger runs
between New York and Chicago and
between other American cities, air
passengers will be kept in minutest
touch with the days news by wire
less; and officers Of the aircraft will
receive their orders that way, too
This dream is legitlmized today by
Signor Marconi, the youthful faiher
Of the wireless. here from Italy.
Through a series Of experiments
carried out in Italy. Marconi announe-
ed that the problem Of transmitting
wireless messages to aeroplanes has
been solved Hitherto this has been
impossible. Explaining the invention
Marconi said:
Before now aeroplanes have been
at disadvantage with airships in
wireless because, while they were able
to transmit messages, they have not
been able to receive them.
"This was because the receiving
signal was too faint to be distinguish
ed over the noise Of the motor-
1--WE have been able to strengthen
the receiving signal sufficiently to en-
able messages to be taken
Great commercial opportunities are
open to the wireless after the war,
Marconi also announced
Long distance transmission has
been signally improved
The wireless telephone already is
playing its part in the war.
Marconi is soldier and therefore
cannot give details Of his new dis
coveries But he added significantly
"The war has by no means hindcred
the development of wireless science.
Marconi is expected to make impor
tant announcements after the war.
