FRENCH ESTABLISH WORLDS
GREATEST WIRELESS STATION

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
March 5.-(By MaiD The French Ma
Wy has just entered the international
contest for the honor of building and
possessing the most powerful wire
less station in the world
In support of it's claims that it's
newly constructed station exceeds
all others now in operation, the
French navy has just demonstrated
is ability to send messages as far as
Australia. The stations there, which
registered the messages from the
new French naval station, were not
powerful enough to acknowledge by
wireless their receipt, but had the
courtesy to reply by ordinary cable
hat the French wireless communica-
tions had been received.
The new French naval wireless sta
ton is in reality an acknowledgements
of gratitude of the French navy to
the United States for its entrance in
to the war.
The moment America made its for
NAL declaration of war against the
enemies of France, the French navy
decided to erect Immediately a pow
erful wireless station that would put
France into constant and sure touch
with America. 1t was planned also
as very effective safeguard against
the submarines for the stream of
troop ships and munition conveys
which was realized would soon he
headed for France.
A site was accordingly chosen III
the French coast, where it was most
likely that one of the American navel
bases would be established, and from
where it would be able to pick up
with the greatest degree of certainty
distress messages from any American
boat that might encouter a submar-
inc.
The metallic pylons of the French
station are over 600 feet high. Per-
fected electrical equipment makes At
possible to send out waves that will
be received at any distance at which,
they can be picked up in the form pi
the ordinary crack-crack of the wire
less. AS a result IF these mUsicai
intonations the receiver is always
able to pick out the waves of the
French wireless plant from all the
other storm or wireless waves with
which the air may be filled.
Waves can De sent out with length
of 5000 to $4,000 yards and which, as
has already been demonstrated, carry
as far as Australia.
The electrical apparatus furnishing
the current for these waves is capa-
BILE of producing 500 horse power.
What the French navy is particu-
larly proud of, however, is that II
finished the plant in six months in
time.to protect from the very first the
conveys of American troops and war
material.

AN AWFUL HAPPENING.
Shelby Atkins Kills His Father-in-
law, Mother-in-law, His Own Wife
And Then Himself.

Our Champ correspondent gives in
nutshell all that really ought to be
said about that awful killing south
west of Mexico Sunday morning, two
miles south of Prairie View Presby-
terrain Church. Nothing is accom-
plished by over-parading such a
happening in the newspapers.
Shelby Derby Adkins, % years of
age, two or three years ago was en-
ployed on the farm of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nolan MCGOWAN. He fell in love with
their Is year old daughter. The
parents objected to the courtship
and dismissed Adkins from employ
ment. He afterwards worked for A.
c. Barnes, south of Mexico. He hung
around in the neighborhood. One
day he and Miss MCGOWAN slipped off
to Mexico ind, we understand, thru
the consent of Mother MCGOWAN,
were married.
They engaged a home in Mexico,
Adkins finding employment with the
Brick Co. Five months ago a baby
son was born into the home. They
lived on happily, apparently, for a
time when later some trouble seems
to have come up and Mrs. Adkins
took the baby and went to her par
ents. Adkins tried different meth
DDS to induce her to return. He
charged his father-in-law and wife
as preventing her coming back.
Last Saturday night after mid
night he took a taxi and rode to near
the MCGOWAN home and then got
out and said he would walk the re-
mainder of the distance. He was
carrying a shotgun, saying that he
expected to hunt ducks. He went to
the MCGOWAN barn and the next
morning when the latter came out
to feed Adkins shot him in the head,
wounding him, and then after par
ley and argument shot him in the
| face. Mrs. MCGOWAN came RAINING
to the scene and he shot her down.
He then went to the house and as
his wife ran thru hall he shot her
in the back of the head, killing her
/ instantly.
Joe Woolery, farm hand, was on
| ~. ae,.,;.o, opd xuitnacCp6 mart nj
the tragedy He plead with Adkins
to desist and then he was threaten
ed.
Adkins did not touch his baby
boy nor did he trouble his two
young sisters-in-law, Glee and OpaI
MCGOWAN, IL and IA years old, who
cromched and hid in the house.
After his bloody work, he now
turns ON himself-took off one Of
his shoes and placing the muzzle
of his gun at his own head with hi
toe pulled the trigger and sent him
self into eternity also.
Adkins was evidently very much
beside himself.
Coroner r. w. Berrey found thu
following note on the table at Ad
kins' home in Mexico addressed t.
his brother, Albert Adkins:
