GOLONEL REBER VL5 MARGONI Perfects System of Wire- less Telegraphy for Government. TP S It Is Now in Operation Be- tween the Presidio and Angel Island. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, June 18.—Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Reber, military secretary f Lieutenant General Miles, 1s given credit by the Army Signal Corps of hav- ing developed a system of wireless teleg- aphy which is not an encroachment upon t of Signor Marconi. Instructions given by Brigadier General Greely parture for Manila, prohibit Lieutenant Colonel Reber from discussing his inven- tion. Lieutenant Colonel Reber invented his system while stationed at Governors Island and succeeded in communicating without wires a distance of elght miles. This is not thought to be the maximum distance of communication. The instru- ments at Governors Island worked so successfully that they were taken down and sent to San Francisco. where they were installed in the Presidio and at An. gel Island. ness is transacted daily over the wireless line. By direction of General Greely six sets of instruments were manufaciured in accordance with nant Colonel Reber's ideas and these were forwarded to the Philippines, where they are now being installed. The features of Lieutenant Colonel Re- ber's system are not authoritatively known, but it is understood that the prin- ciples he has observed are not different from those established by Marconi. In the New York harbor experiments a mast | 130 feet high was used to send and receive etheric waves »nd a mast is in use in San Francisco harbor also. The development great importance to. the army, as it will 1ake the piace of the military cables now necessary for connecting various harbor fortifications. Lieutenant Colonel Reber is well known n army and scientific circles as a leading electrical expert. Hé served with Gen- eral Miles during the Indian campaigns. keeping that ofiicer in constant communi- cation with his base and using barb wire and varfous otaer makeshifts to maintain on. In Porto Rico he kept Gen- eral Miles in communication with five ex- peditions which spread out from Ponce and was highly commexded for his energy and skill DR.

Efforts Will Be Made to Have Him Accept the Leadership. KANSAS CITY, June 18.—The first defi- nite step toward the organization of a new | “third party,” which is proposed to em- brace Missouri and to form the nucleus for a national growth, was taken to-day in Kansas City at a conference of mem- bers of the Populist State Committee and a few Silver Republicans. The movement is sald to have the expressed sympathy of W. J.

Mr. Mer- | riweather and his followers went to Lin- coln from St. Louis Sunday. Their pur- | pose was to confer with Mr. Bryan and to learn his views in regard to the third party movement. Mr. Merriweather is guarded in his statements concerning Mr. Bryan, but says that if Mr. Bryan does not support the present movement he is at any rate in symoathy with its purpose, for it is to_advocate the same principles which Mr. Bryan has espoused. J. H. Cook, chairman of the State Cen- tral Committee of the fusion wing of the Populist party, said that if the Demo- cratic party is captured by the gold stan- dard element Mr. Bryan will be forced by | the logic of events into the leadership of the new party. The conference was secret. It will be | continued to-morrow and end with a pub- lic meeting, when the result of the gather- ing will be embodied in an address to the H peoplé of Missouri. SENATOR CLARK SUED FOR AN ACCOUNTING Allegation Made That He Knowingly Purchased Stock Fraudulently Obtained by the Seller. NEW YORK, June I18.—An action brought by Professor George A. Tread- well against Senator William A. Clark of Montana, the United Verde Copper Com- pany, of which Clark is the president; the directors of the corporation, and other de- fendants, to recover 100 shares of stock in the United Verde Copper Company, was brought to trial to-day before Justice Mc- Lean in the Supreme Court. The plamtiff claims that he deposited 100 shares of stock as security with Ben- rett and his manager, Thomas, and that subsequently, without any authority from Treadwell, the stock was sold to Burgess, who In turn sold it to Senator Clark. The allegation is made that the Benator was aware of the facts in the case. The pro- fessor alleges that the par value of the stock was $10 a share, but that it has re- cently brought $3% a share. and he asks that Mr. Clark, who is president of the corporation, be compelled to render an accounting. L e e M ) RUNNING FIGHT WITH OUTLAWS Texas Rangers Exchange Shots With Mexican Murderers. LAREDO, Texas, June 18.—News by wire has just reached here that Captain Brooks’ company of State Rangers has had a fight with the Mexicans who are supposed fo be gullty of the assassination of Sheriff Morrison of Karnes County and Sheriff Glover and Constable Schnabele of Gonzales County. The commander of the company was notified that four horses were stolen Saturday night at Campbell- ton and that the riders were headed for the Rio Grande. Brooks' company was at once put on the lookout, and the news to-day is that the detachment overtook four Mexicans riding horses suiting the description of those stolen at Campbellton from the Fords ranch, which is about eight miles from here.” A running fight then ensued in which one Mexican was killed, one wounded, one captured, and one escaped. The details are unobtainable, but that a fight did occur is evidenced by the fact that this evening the Coroner left Benavides, a station on the Mexican Rail- way, for the scene in order to hold an in- quest. Later information reached the city that Captain Rogers, of the State Rangers, with two under officers and Private Ranger Sanders, had captured three Mex- icans and that a fight had taken place, one Mexican being killed and one escap- ing. Captain Rogers and party are in pursuit of the man who escaped. The County Clerk of Karnes County has been asked to send men to identify the Mexican killed and the one captured.

Pin- whe had been watching at his fatlier's gide for four days, noticed a sud- den change in his father’s condition. He had hardly reached the patient’s bedside when his father died peacefully, without warning and without speaking one word. Young Pingree has wired to his mother and his uncle ir the United States not to come to London. "The body of the late Mr. Pingree wili be embalmed and taken to_his home. The diagnosis made by London special- ists of the cancerous affection of the in- testines from which Mr. Pingree suffered left no hope for the patlent's recovery. Toward the end of his illness Mr. Pingreg suffered great pain and weakened rap- idly. He was unable to retain nourish- ment. His mind, however, remained fairly clear. During the whole of Tuesday he was kept alive by injections of strychnine and drugs administered to lessen his pain. the Hazen Senter Pingree was born in Den- miark, Me., ifi 1840. 'In 1862 he enlisted in for the unexpired term of three years of the regiment. When the regiment was mustered out at the end of the term he re-enlisted on the battlefield for three years more, or during the war. He par- ticipated in the second battle of Bull Run, Fredericksburg Road, Harris Farm, Spottsylvania Courthouse, Cold Harbor, North Anne and South Anne. At the bat- tle of Spottsylvania Courthouse his regi- ment_opened the engagement, losing 121 men killed and 368 wounded. On May. 1864, Mr. Pingree, with a number of his comrades, while escorting a wagon train to Front Royal, was cap- tured by a squad of Mosby's men. They were brought before that officer. who ex- changed his entire suit of clothes with Pingree, but afterward gave back the coat, remarking that his men might shoot him for a “Yank.” He was confined for | nearly five months at Andersonville, Balis- bury, N. C., and Millen. Ga. At the last naméd place, in November, 1854, he was @i RARE FLOWERS THE FAVORITES Prizes Awarded at the Museum in Pacific Grove. Speclal Dispatch to The Call.

There for a time he was employed in the boot and shoe factory of H. P. Baldwin & Co. Decfding to embark in business himself, in December, 1866, Smith, he purchased a small boot and shoe factory, the entire capital repre- when established, being but $1380. The €ons, and the value of their production reached only $20,000. Inereasing business compelled their Temoval to larger qua: ters, and in time they obtained and main- tained their position as the most exten- ;"‘)‘r‘ tboot and shoe manufacturers in the est. In 1889 the Republican partyinominated ex-Governor Pingree for Mayor of De- troit and he was elected by more than 2000 majority. He was re-elected in 1891, 1893 and 18% by increased majorities each time. In 1896 Mr. Pingree was elected Governor of Michigan by £3,000 plurality, running ahead of the national ticket by 26,000 votes. He was re-elected Governor in 18¢8 by ~about 160,009 plurality and served out his term, which expired in 1900. Last March he started on a trip to South Africa, which ended in his death in_London. Ex-Governor Pingree, while he was Mayor, accomplished many municipal re- forms, among others forcing the gas company to lower rates 50 cents per thousand: establishing the public light- ing plant; organizing the Detroit Ral way on a 3-cent fare basis; lowering tel phone rates and breaking up a number of sewer and paving rings that were thriv- ing when he came into office. His potato patch scheme for the reMef of the poor of the city was extensively copjed and brought him much fame. While ‘Govern- or Mr. Pingree devoted his energies to- ward securing a law taxing railroads and other corporations on an ad valorem ba- sis, instead of specifically on their earnings. His efforts resulted in the passage of a law along these lines by the last Legislature.

NEW YORK, June 18.—The second day of the trial, at Jersey City, of Thomas G. Barker for the shosting of Rev. John Keller at Arlington was full of objections by -counsel and clear-cut, cold and sharp rulings by the presiding Judge. Both principals weni on the stand during the day. The story of Barker may never be told on the witness stand. The court heid that Barker could not test!fy to his own state -of mind on the morning of the shooting. The object of the defense from the mo- ment Barker was called was to introduce the alleged conversation between Barker and his wife, which, it is claimed, led up to the shooting. but at every twrn coun- | sel met with defeat. Then they went straight at the question and sought to bring in the whole story, but failed. Bar- ker was withdrawn from the stand with- out testifying to anything material. The story of Mrs. Barker may not be told now unless dounsel finds some way which has not vet suggested itself to in- troduce it. The ruling of the court in every instance was pronounced quickly and the lawyers were generally of the opinion that the exceptions Attorney Van Winkle filed were not such as would up- set the result, if there was a conviction. Dr. Strasser, one of the doctors who attended Keller, told of the wounds and gave expert testimony that Keller was | shot from behind. Keller was the witness for the State. He | showed the jury his scarred face and | blinded and injured s. He insisted in | a mild way under cross-examination that | the shot which entered his head was fired from behind. He said he had spoken to no one and, inferentially, there had been | no quarrel. L e PRESENT KCED OF THE VALLEYS Continued from First Page. for the removal of the silt when Federal | appropriations were not avaflable. The interests involved are so vital that traf- | fic on Stockton Channel cannot be sus- | pended even for a day without affecting ! trade and Industry throughout the State. | This can be readily understood by the | members of the Rivers and Harbors Committee when they learn that one- | third of the grain product of the State is | shipped from Stockton's wharves and | one-fourth of the wheat produced con-! sumed in Stockton's fiour mills.” IMPROVEMENT OF THE SAN JOAQUIN Congressman Woods also said that be- | vond the urgent need of Federal appro- priation for the diverting canal is the great question of safe-guarding the in- terests of the San Joaquin Valley by per- manent improvements of the tortuous San Joaquin River. e ultimate aim should be to make the river a direct, unobstruct- ed highway of traffic, traversable by any | craft, accessible at any point. The lands adjacent to the San Joaquin River be- | tween Stockton and San Francisco are more productive than any like area in the inhabitable world. 1In this connection Congressman Woeds said: “The channels of the San Joaquin River are freighted with a traffic un- known on any similar channels in ths United States. But when we look be- | yond the reclaimed lands traversed | by the navigable San Joaquin to the great basin drained by its waters we begin to comprehend the extent of the empire that provides San Joaquin River a traffic that exceeds that of any other river on the Pacific Coast and ranks fourth among the navi- | gable rivers of the country. When | we consider that Stockton is the gate- way to a plain whose inhabitants | have paid the Federal Government 820,000,000 for real estate it is not | surprising that railroads have cen- | tered here from all directions and that sixteen steamers are required to | accommodate “the traffic at its busy wharves.” | fiyer, Congressman Woods spoke of the popu- Iaflon‘;f 188,205, the area of 21.3%7,400 acres, the assessed wealth amountirg to $150.- | 000,000, the $25,000,000 annual worth of farm products, the increase of nearly 30 per: cent in the population in ten years and of | the manufactures of the valley, stimulat- | ed by the development of coal, petroleum and electric power. With these facts he | favored such a policy in the improvement of the San Joaquin River as will ultimate- ly provide a ship canal from Stockton to the sea, with ample harbor accommoda- tions at the head of navigation and offi- cial recognition as a port of entry. In all improvements of the San Joaquin River, he says. this ultimate purpose of a deep water ship channel should be kept clnrlyl in view. TO KEEP NAVIGABLE THE SACRAMENTO Concerning the improvement of the Sac- ramento River Congressman Woods said that he considered it wise to refrain from making suggestions until he could recelve a memorial which the Chamber of Com- merce of Sacramento has prepared with reat care to present to the Committee on %lvers and Harbors. The Government engineers estimate that a specific annual appropriation of $25, necessary to keep the Sacramento River navigable un- der present conditions above Sacramento. “The Rivers and Harbors Committee stands ready to appropriate $150,000 in the next bill for the debris dams on the Yuba River, near Marysville, The value of this work Is illustrated by the fact that from the territory constituting the watershed of the Yuba River and its tributaries there has already been taken $212,000, the greater part coming from hydraulic mines once worked there. “Hundreds of square miles of rich hydraulic ground lles idle to-day which will yield uncounted milllons when the owners are free to work them as in for- mer years, While the dams and accessory reservoirs are in a way as vet along ex- perimental lines, still the consensus of opinion of the engineers is that they will | hold back the mining debris and enable the hydraulic miners to resume opera- tionr “To_the mingrs of this section the Fed- eral Governmenht owes a moral duty, and if hydraulic mining can be made possible by the expenditure of millions on _the Piva River they should be expended. am familiar with the theory upon which the Government expends money in river improvement. No violation of that theory will be had in work done on the Yuba River along prdjected lines, for the neces- sity of such work already exists to pro- tect the intake rivers from the inflow of the vast quantities of debris which will surely destroy them unless held back. “If collaterally hydraulic mining should be made possible by the expenditure of millions in' the protection of the rivers ‘thé the expenditure will be poured back by increased millions into our treasury from the great gravel beds that hold these mil- lions in present suspension. The Rivers and Harbors Committee will examine no more imvortant work than this, and it could well afford to cross a continent to make that examination alone.” PROMISE OF AID FOR REDWOOD CITY REDWOOD CITY, June 18—The Con- gressional Committee on Rivers and Har- bors spent an hour to-day at this place . FIGHTING HARD FOR MOLINEDX Counsel Ma.kes a Strong Plea for a New Trial. Makes Direct Attack Upon the Policy cf the Prosecution. A | BUFFALO, N. Y., June 13.—The final direct verbal plea for another chance be- fore a jury for Roland B. Molineux, the alleged - poisoner of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams and Henry C. Barnett, and the | first half of the arraignment of the plea | in resistance were heard by the Court of | Appeals to-day. Johkn G. Milburn, rep- resenting Molineux, spoke nearly two Rours and was succeeded by ex-Senator David B. Hill, whose argument in oppo- sition lasted until court arose at i o'cleck. Hill will close by noon to-mor- row. Attorney Milburn began with a direet attack upon the poiicy of Recorder Goff | taroughout the trial. He charged Goff with favoring Assistant District Attor- ney Osborne, whose methods he also | questioned, and also charged him with prejudice against Attorney Barlow S. Weeks. Senator Hill was equally vigor-| ous | | | After explaining his connection with the appeal, he reviewed the case and ar- gued the guilt of the defendant. He!l strongly defended the course of Recorde~ Goff and Assistant District Attorney Os berne and the theory and policy of “the prosecution. Starting with the theories of the peo- Ble as to the killing of Mrs. Adams and | arnett, he followed them through their | lines of reasoning and contended for | their stability and acceptance. He in-| sisted that the people had the right to show how Barnett died and insisted that | a complete reconciliation of the two cases was nossible. He avowed that the prose- cution was within its rights in showing the relations of Molineux and his wife prior to their marriage, and asserted that it was the people who had suffered when the Recorder ordered the evidence strick- | en out. He sald Mrs. Molineux had called | her marriage a romance; he called it a ragedy. lenator Hill took up successively the various mysterious letters written under the names of Cornish and Barnett and forcefully adjusted them in their places | in the theory of the prosecution, dramat- | ically proclaimed the alleged guilt of the prisoner and insisted that the State had conchisively proved its charge. He de- fended Harry Cornish against suspicion or insinuation and asserted the reliability of the mass of handwriting testimony oftered by the State. Reviewing the trouble at the Knickerbocker Club, and connecting with it Cornish's denuncia- tion of Molineux and the Harpster Inci- dent, Hill proclaimed revenge as the mo- tive 'of the plot to kill Cornish, and then pictured jealousy as the motive in the Barnett case. He pronounced the weight of evidence against the accused as over- | whelming and sald that no defense had | been made, becausé none was possible. Senator Hill did not touch the disputed ! law points and will go Into them to-| morrow. | L o e e e e e THAIN GRAGHES INTO ENGINE Del Monte Flyer Mests With Mishap in San Jose Yards. —— Spectal Dispatch to The Call.
