tho breakage and loss of the first
cables laid, is further illustrated by
the fact that this cable thus aus,
piciously opened after four years oil
experiment and millions Of dollars eX
nended soon lost its power Of service,
and within a month had become use
less except for the practical lessons
which its obstruction and temporary
operations taught to the plucky
Americans who brought it into eX-
istence. Mr.. Field undaunted by its
failure resumed his efforts and eS-
tablished relations with British capt.
talists and by the construction OF
new cables and the application OF
the practical lessons which had been
learned in their laying and operation
established in 1866 two successful
cable lines between Newfoundland
and Valentia. and from that time for
ward instantaneous communication
between the United States and Eu-
rope has been continuous.
l., 1t was also American capital and
energy which established the first
cable line across that greatest ocean
of the world, the Pacific, a far great
or task than that of bridging the
Atlantic by cable lines, for the DIS
lance is nearly three times as great
and the difficulties intensified by
reason of the fact that the bed of the
Pacific between San Francisco and
the Hawaiian Islands includes numer
Gus mountain ridges many thousands
of feet in height and with valleys or
corresponding depth. The difficulties
of this new and untried field were,
however, overcome and communlca-
ton established from San Francisco
to Honolulu, the Midway Islands,
Guam, Manila, and thence to Shang-
hal and Japan, the length of the en-
tire line from San Francisco to the
Asiatic coast being approximately
10000 miles, which is now to be par
alleled with a second American line,
while the new line across the ATTAIN
tic is to touch the Azores and thence
to Germany. American capital also
has placed our various coast cities IN
direct connection, over American
cables, with the principal islands. OF
the Caribbean and thence the prlncl-
pal ports Of the eastern and western
frontages of South America. french
and British capital have also spannedi
the Atlantic with numerous lines, ana
British, Canadian and western Cana>
da to Australia, while European cap
ital, chiefly British, built up the ire
cndous cable system connecting Eu-
rope through the Mediterranean with
! India and the Far East with branch
lines to Australia and along the east
ern and western frontages of Africa.
While the life of submarine cable
is now estimated at from 20 TO 4O
years, considerable number OF the
experimental lines have entirely
ceased operation, though the methods
of operation have been so greatly
improved meantime that the number
of messages or words transmitted
over given line is now many times
that OF earlier days and thus faclll-
ties of, intcr-continental communica--
ton greatly intensified, and the cost
of transmission correspondingly re-
duced.

Appropriations For Agricul.
ture in Virginia Have
Been Small

A comparison of the amount of the
last Assembly of Virginia approprl-
ated for agricultural purposes with
what is appropriated in other states
for that purpose shows that the need
of agriculture in Virginia was not
realized by the men who represented
this great industry in the Legisia-
ture as it has been by those in other
States.
Of the total appropriation the Leg.
islators of Tennessee set apart 6.il
per cent for agricultural departments

relations law in respect to voidable
marriages. 1t prov ides that the mere
fact persons under the age of consent,
which is eighteen years, enter upon
marriage shall no longer constitute an
absolute right to the annulmcnt OF
such marriage. but gives the courts the
right TO take into consideration all the

Included among other measures ap-
proved by the Governor was the Fearon
bill requiring Legislative committees to
submit resolutions to the Legislature
asking for permission to print reports.
Heretofore committees have had free

charged that much unnecessary eX-

The Governor also signed the Hager

governing the operation of motor vehi-

Governor Approves
Second Measure to
Curb Bond Sharks
Bill Gives Stoddard Right 10
Revoke the License Of Amy
BaiismanFound Dishonest:
Two Marriage Laws Signed
ftom a 500 colrespondent

ALBANY, March 29.-Another Cotillo
bill aimed at the professional bonds
men who aid criminals to escape the
law was signed by Governor Miller to-
day. AS was the case with the one of
yesterday, it was drafted under the
supervision of Francis r. Stoddard,
State Superintendent of Insurance, and
gives him power TO revoke the license
Of any bondsman he considers untrust-
worthy or dishonest or who makes any
material misstatement in his appica-
ton for license.
These two bills" said Mr.. Stoddard,
will stop the profes ssional bondsmen
from helping the professional criminal
to escape the law and from practicing
extortion on the relatives of the poor
who fall afoul Of the law
"The unpardonable crime of the pro
fessionai bondsman is committed ON
the families of men who are arrested
for minor infractions of the law, and
who would be freed by the courts with
in q few hours, if not completely, at
least paroled on their own recogni-
zance. Here the baiisman or his runner
goes TO the agonized wife of the ar
rested man, and, after obtaining her
savings bank book and such other ne
gotable valuables as he can lay his
nanGS on, phillts tle case as holflDlc
one and steers her into one of his shy
ster lawyer accomplices, where she is
bled further; and, instead of charging
Sd or $40 for the small bond on which
the man is released, they charge $50
and upward-all the traffic will bear. "
Mr. Stoddard said that when the
laws become operative on September J
there would be concerted action on the
part of judges, district attorneys and
his department to end the bail bond
evil.
Two additional marriage bills were
signed by the Governor to-day. One
was the Tolbert proposal authorizing
City Clerk Michael Cruise of New York
to name an additional clerk to perform
marriage ceremonies. The other was

Committee Named TO Confer

4 meeting of about thirty members
Of the Producing Managers Association
st .231 West Forty-afth Street yester-
day adopted resolutions embracing ac-
ceptance of the volunteer jury plan Of
censorship for plays. The action of the
producing managers amounts to q com
promise between the efforts OF the more
Jealous critics of the presentday plays
and those who are opposed to any form
OF censorship.
A statement issued IN the name Of
he association says
AT meeting OF the Producing Man
ayers Association to-day resolution
was passed placing the association on
record as being in favor OF the pro
posed public jury plan Of passing upon
alleged Objectionable plays as opposed
to offcial censorship. A committee was
appointed to act with the Authors

All Drawbacks Removed
The next step in effecting the plan
for fair form Of censorship will be
conference Of the various interests
represented. The decision of the pro-
ducing managers TO enter into the
plan removes any drawbacks TO the
carrying out of the project No date
has been set for the conference. but il
probably will be held the latter part
Of next week
City authorities and religious, re-
form and welfare organizations. as
well as playwrights and other authors
are backing the plan, which calls for
