EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 5.—Geronimo Parra and Antonio Flores, who were hanged here to-day for murder, made a desperate effort to kill some of the officers or spec- | tators this afternoon when their cell door was unlocked. It had been decided to hang Flores first, for fear that he would break down. When the officers unlocked the cell door to convey him to the gallows both prisoners dashed out and stabbed right and left among the crowd with dirks made of coarse steel wire. A desperate struggle followed and the most intense excitement was precipitated. A constable shoved Parra into the cell and bolted the door and five rangers and Deputy Sheriffs sprang upon Flores, dis- arming him and bearing him to the floor. He was bound and conveyed to the scaf- fold, where death was instantaneous. Ranger Ed Bryant was wounded in the stomach by a dagger thrust. Parra was covered by revolvers and dis- armed, after which he was taken to the scaffold. Death was Instantaneous in his case also. CARRIED SOBBING T0 THE SCAFFOLD cuted at San Quentin.

The condemned man passed a restless night, muttering what seemed to be pray- ers which his spiritual adviser, Father Sullivan, had taught him. At times he would break out into railery and again would seem to be transported back to the days of his childhood and talk of his | mother and his life in the Flowery King- | dom. The crucitix which Father Sullivan | had presented him with seemed to prove a source of much consolation to him, and early this morning he knelt in prayer be- fore the symvol of hope. | Before the final scene Father Egan vis- i ited the cell and baptized the doomed con- vert.

MARCONI SYSTEM Experiment Stations Are Asked for. RS A Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING- TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.— Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the Bu- reau of Equipment, has again called the attention of Secretary Long to the desira- bility of conducting naval experiments with wireless telegraphy. There is a dis- position in the Secretary’s office to awailt the conclusion of the investigation now bel made by the Lighthouse Board. Ad- miral Bradford upon investigation learned that the board had submitted an estimate to Congress for $25,000 for erecting sta- tions at points on the coast and outlying lighthouses, but the estimate contained no provision for experiments. In view of this fact he has asked the department to again take the matter of naval experimentation with the system under consideration. The importance of the system to the navy is very great, naval officers declare, and it is hoped by them that the Secre- tary will deem it advisable to transmit an estimate for $20.000 to Congress with a view to its insertion in the naval bill. Reports from South Africa indicate that on account of iron ore in the mountains considerable difficulty is being experienced in communicating with the Marconi sys- tem. It is thought by naval officers that there will be no difficulty at sea, but army authorities deeply deplore the effect of iron in the earth on the system, and they hope that something will be developed to abollsh this interference to successful communication.
