WIRELESS PLANT Is
DISCOVERED ON APPAM
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Norfolk, Va, March Sit was
learned today, on reliable authority,
that when Marshal Saunders boarded
the Appam with his men at Newport
News and took possession of that yes
sci in the name of the United States
government, following the break with
Germany, he found installed on the
Appam an elaborate secret wireless
apparatus by means of which all wire
less messages sent in this section Of
the United States could be received.
On a carful examination of the
Appam, it is said fine wire was
found strung beneath the pipe leading
to the whistle on the smokestack of
the Appam and extending above it as
do the regular antennae of the usual
wireless. This led down to the in
terror of the vessel, where dynamos
were kept running to engender the
current for lighting the ship. Boilers
were constantly fired on the Appam
at all times in order to furnish steam
for heating the vessel and other pur-
poses. Power was thus secured for
the dynamo engines. Investigation
it Is said, led to the discovery that
the wire finally ran to the. private
room occupied by Lieut.. Hans Berg;
the messages received were read by
Lieut., Berg by flashes from an cleo
trio bulb. This is similar to the meth
cd followed by the battleships at sea
when they flash signals to each other
at night using the Morse code, the
flashes IN Lieutenant Berg's light be-
ing similar to the dots and dashes of
the Morse system.

BOY ACQUITTED OF
AVENGING HIS FATHER

Crowesburg, Kas., March 9.-Elev
en-year-old Joe Vinardi went back to
school today, exonerated by law, after
having avenged, in blood, the killing
of his father. The coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict of self defense alb
solving the boy from blame for the
death here last Monday of Mike Clio,
sutton for the hand of Joe's sister,
and enemy of Giancento Vinardi, Joe's
father,
There was a feud between the elder
Vinardi~ and Clio, because of Gilio's
attentions to Vinardi's daughter. Mon
day night they met. Both were armed.
Next day both were found dead and
it was at first believed they had killed
each other, but the inquest revealed
that Vinardi, the elder, lying mortal
ly wounded, had instructed his son
to obtain vengeance. His fathers
shotgun in hand, the boy shortly aft
erwards found Clio in front of his
home. Clio had shot gun also. He
pointed it at the boy and laughed at
him, whereupon Joe Vinardi fired
killing Clio.

the Laconia with Americans aboard
however, makes many think this is
untenable.
The effect of the United States
action on other neutrals, whose ships
are tied up by the German submarine
terror, is watched with much interest.
The United States action is expected
to end the virtual blockade of Amer
lean ports.
Leaders of both parties expressed
their approval of the call of the spe-
cial session. Democrats have a ma
jority of twelve in the senate, and
while organization of the house is in
doubt, leaders there say whether
Democrats or Republicans get con-
troll, of whether there is bipartisan
organization, it will make little diff
ference in handling the international
situation. The president, however,
may not have such easy sailing on
other legislation, such as the various
appropriation bills, and legislative
measures which failed in last session.
