MONTREAL, Can. oct. 14.-com-
pletion OF the new Marconi wireless
station at Laprairie, near here, is ex-
pected TO reduce the time between
England and its farthest colony,
Australia TO a matter OF only a few
minutes.
BY means OF this and other SINH
lar stations messages will be flashed
II ON London 10 Sydney faster than
they have ever been sent. They viii
leave London on an air route Of
some 10000 miles and will be relay
ed automatically through stations at
Louisburg, N. s., Laprairie, Winni-
peg and Vancouver, to their destina-
ton in Sydney Perhaps, with the
further development in the efficiency
Of radio. some of these stations will
be eliminated IN the span of space
between London and Sydney.
Experiments have been conducted
at this new station. by which It is
expected revolutionary changes viii
be made In the Transmission and re-
ception of radio messages. All are
directed toward the elimination Of
time over large distances.

ed with the murder told the author
tiles that they could be further en-
lightened and would do well to in
vestigate the actions of certain
neighbors of Hurst's. Dave Sterl-

ing held under $500 bond as states
witnesses.
Letters from Mrs. Sisters rela-
tives have come into possession of
the authorities. showing what Of
ficers believe may give additional
motive for row between Sissler and
Hurst. Sissler admits he and Hurst
were in the bootleg business together
and that they had some disagree
ment over a settlement. The ac-
cused was recently released from a
term for moonshining and it was
while he was Jailed that Mrs. sissler
wrote letters in which reference was
