York, -May 14.—Wireless | operators at Sandy Hook, Sea Gate and Atlantic Highlands and on ships |leaving the harbor, together with \ scores of amateur wireless enthusiasts in Greater New York and along the Jersey coast, were mystified yesterday New i receivers the voice of Caruso singing. } Most of the delighted ones did not know to whom they were indebted for the canned solos of the great tenor, | but it wasn’t long before some of them | found out that the concert was a part ‘cz a wireless telephone test made by 1the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Com- ! pany at its station on the roof of the | Wanamaker store in this city. Not 'only were the tenor’s phonographic ! tones clearly heard by the operator at the wireless station at the Wanamaker i store in Philadelphia, but a commer- icial message, dealing Wwith ordinary] business of the day, was communiy | cated by voice through the air for the¢ i first time from New York to Philadelt " phia. { Incidentally the Marconi people h: a talk with the Southern Paci i'steamship Antilles, which sailed ‘at ncon for New Orleans. At 4 o'clpck a wireless was received from D{vid Sarnoff, aboard the Antilles, saying { that the telephonic operatic seleciions sent out from the Wanamaker station | had been “received.” | | Wireless News From hmplg‘n. 7:35 o'clock last evening af cable i message from Vera Cruz, receifed at {7:30, was telephoned by wireless to the Antilles and the ship’s operator got it when the ship was, about seventy-five miles off the Srotland {iiehtehip, Hefelayed it by wirhiess to the Marconi station at Cape May, from which point confirmation of its receipt was telephoned to the New York senders. The cable read as fol- lows: “The following cable has been re- ceived: Admiral Mayo reports that | Tampico will fall by 9 o'clock tonight, { The Federal gunboats Vera Cruz and avih are pulling out of the river and lj;()i g to sea, leaving Tampico to its ate. People are now leaving the city before its fall.”” The tests were made by Frank A, Hart and H. Earnest Campbell of the enginecring department of the Mar- coni company. Roland Crane, one of the comipany’s most expert wireless operators, was in charge of the l afternoon over hearing through their | station. The tests started soon after the Antilles started on her journey. Voice Is Heard. It wasn't long before wireless men waiting for ordindary radiograms be- ‘fan -to hear through their receivers ihe voice of Caruso and, the sound of a man talking and counting slowly and deliberately. They knew of course that they were picking up wireless telephone tests and then they started to wireless around to find out at what station the experiments were being made. When the word got around that the Wanamaker store in New York was communicating by wireless telephone to the Philadelphia store, Messrs. Hart and Campbell began to receive in- quiries by old fashioned telephone as to what was going on, It wasn't in- tended that the news should get out prematurely and consequently the young engineers wouldn’t 80 into de- tails. Will Gash, Johpr Wanamaker's contract manager, was also loath to talk about the events of the day, but later he issued a statement confirming the success of the tests. An the Messages Verified. There was sending only and no re- celving in the experimenting here. Af- tér a message had been sent out, the ¢perator in the Philadelphia store Avould. reply by radio-telegraphy that it had been received and then he |vould repeat what was said. He Jflidn't attempt to imitate Caruso, how- ever. The operatic music was sent on its way to delight the ears of operators aboard ships by placing the trumpet of a phonograph close against) the sender of the telephone apparatus. The same receiver as for wireless telegraphy is used in wireless tele- rhony, The Atlantic Communication com- pany’s station at Sayville didn’t hear the concert because it wasn't listening, but its operator did pick up a tele- phonic’ message sent by Mr. Hart to Mr. Sarnoff aboard the Antilles. Chief Engineer F. M. Sammis of the Marconi company said last night | that the tests between New York and | Philadelphia were a success. The Marconi company received a cable despatch yesterday from William Marconi in England that he had com- pleted his wireless telephone tests and | that the apparatus was an entire suc- cess. The British company will now begin construction of sets for the Ital- ian navy. They are guaranteed to maintain communication between ships over a distance of about thirty- two miles, although in practice they have been tried successfully over a much greater distance.

Additional en- tertainment was furnished by the Wesleyan quartet and the work of the reader, Mr. Schneider, was well re- ceived. Refreshments were served. City Items Miss Mary E.
