One particularly speedy bit I
work was In the handling OF the
passenger list, consisting of 241
words. At 10:14 a. m. San Fran
cisco filed an urgent message to
Correspondent John Smell OF
Honolulu asking for the list. The
Radio Corporation put the mes
sage ahead Of everything else,
and three minutes later delivered
II to Smell. He evidently had the
list ready, for back 1t came
through space, and was delivered
to San Francisco at 1880. 1t
took just 80 minutes to get the
message to Smell and the list back
to the mainland, a distance In all
Of 4,20O miles. During the hand
ling Of the story, the maximum
time taken In the handling OF ~
messages to Honolulu was 81
minutes and the shortest time was

HARD TO TAKE CENSUS
Associated Pressl

Jerusalem - Palestinians are
temperamentally afraid Of the
census. In the days OF Abdul
Hamid and other Ottoman rulers
q census was taken only In order to
increase taxation or to cOnscript
the men for military service. The
pre- war days are still fresh In
peoples minds, and therefore
most of them today prefer to re-
main uncOunted. Because Of this
and the feeling which has run
very strong among the Mohamme-
dan and Christian populat atoms on
account Of the Balfour declaration
the present governments demand
for census has met with cOnsid-
erable opposition.

HOW SPEED MADE
GREAT SEA STORY

world news given by the Asso-

this story Of how the news OF a

mid Pacific; yet almost before the
thrilling cry abandon Ship" had
ceased to ring through the burn
ing vessel, and just % minutes
after the first lifebOat was swung
over the side the Associated Press
had delivered bulletin to lts
members from the Pacific to the
Atlantic.
From over the broad Pacifit
on the morning Of October u
the wireless brought to San Fran
cisco a story that the passenger
steamer City of Honolulu, bound
from Honolulu to Los Angeles
with 261 passengers and members
Of the crew, had caught fire al
about $50 a. M, when the YES
sci was 637 miles from San Fran
cisco. The crew fought the fire
the greater part Of the morning
but by 10 o'clock it had gained
such headway that the ships Of
ficers decided to lower the life
boats.
At 1910 a. m. the Honolulu
sent a broadcast message stating
that her boats were going OveI
the side. Twenty-three minutes
later a bulletin telling Of the
launching Of the boats was in the
New York office of the Associated
Press, having been picked up by
San Francisco wireless stations,
telephoned to the Associated
Press and there sent on the over
land wire to Chicago and New
York.
On it's dash through space and
across the continent the story OF
the lifeboats, it is believed, set a
record for transmission to New
York of news from ship in dis
tress far away on the Pacific.
This story, however, was not the
only one which was fast. They
were all Fast, exceptionally fast,

G. of G. Asks County Board to
Redistrict
A request for redistricting OF
Riley county as regards commits
sioner districts was presented to
the board Of county commission
ers by a committee from the Man
haitian Chamber Of Commerce.
The committee presented tab
ulation of the population Of the
county as reported by the last
census, showing that the first
commissioner district has a pOpu-
lation of 9,537, or 2,274 more
than the second and third districts
combined the joint population of
the two latter districts being T.
263. The petition asks that re-
districting be done as a matter Of
justice, with a view of equalizing
the population Of the respective

Manhattan has grown weary of
a board that allows a county re-
ceiving $3,O00,0OO a year from
the state to possess about the
poorest roads in Kansas.
