Wireless Hour Signals.

WHEN ship is approaching shore
great caution is often necessary
because Of uncertainty as to the ves-
sells precise position. 1t was some
years ago that it was first proposed
that wireless telegraphy be utilized to
send hour signals over the sea round
England to distance Of 200 or 800 miles
from shore, in order that the captains
Of incoming ships might thus be ena-
bled to rectify their chronometers to
Greenwich time. The government of
Canada thereupon established a system
OF this kind at Camperdown, near Hall
flax. Every morning the exact hour il
sent out over the sea, so that all YES
sells furnished with receiving apparatus
may pick up the true time from the air.

GRANT AUTHORITY
To ABANDON RAILROAD
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Authority
TO abandon entirely the line of the
Chicago and Indiana railroad in In
diana was granted today by the Inter
state commerce commission
The company, formerly a subsidiary
of the Chicaeo and Eastern Illinois, is
now in receivership, but its line of
162 miles probably is the longest yet
vacated by commission permission.
Commissioner Eastman disSented
from the opinion of his associates in
Part as to the wisdom of granting the
receivers request for permission to
abandon the road.
The commission suggested that a
part of the line from West Union to
Brazil, Ind. which has been operated
by another railroad should be con-
tinued in service. The road runs from
Brazil to Lacrosse with one branch
line, aud formerly was engaged in car
rying coal.
. The As towns and villages, located
along it joined in protesting the aban-
donment, but the commission held that
constant and regular loss was sus-
tanned in operating the road for many
wears. and the possibility of serving
the population with other railroads
makes it desirable that the entire
road be abandoned.

ORDINANCE FOR CITY
PLANNING FAVORED
BY SEVENTH WARD

A resolution instructing Councilman
Frank Benn, from the Seventh ward
to vote in favor of the city planning
ordinance was passed by voters of the
ward after a meeting held in Hose
House No 5. Wednesday evening. The
house was filled with citizens when the
meeting was called to order.
Dell B. Davis, city engineer, read
the state law providing for the meas
ure and it was discussed by sections.
Instances where the city would have
been saved money through the use OF
this commission were cited by A. M.
Gardner, former city attorney. the
effort to open West Second street from
Main to Richmond avenue seVerai
years ago, when it would have COST
the city $4,000. was cited by him.
AS a result of the failure of this i'm
provement all traffic going from Main
street to Richmond avenue must make
dangerous double turn at ,Kinsey and
Firsts streets. The extra cost to the
city of putting off the widening OF
North Third street, near the c. and Q.
station, was also mentioned.
Three-to-One Vote
A ballot taken at the close of the
session showed a vote of three to one
in favor of the commission.
When this matter was first taken
up about 10 years ago, Mr.. Gardner
said, the expense to the city would
have been but 5000, but last year
when the plan was finally carried out
the cost due to advance in property
values amounted to about $4,000, OF
a cost of $1,000 per year for each
year of delay. This is approximately
the cost of a city planning commits
