The sounder is there- fore utilized with a ‘relay.’ he strong battery of the ‘relay’ is affected by the electrical current, and the ear conse- quently can distinguish the clicking of the sounder. | “If Marconi used a telephone receiver | in securing his wireless slgnals - across | the Atlantic the inventor did so because ! 'he recognized the extreme sensitiveness of the instrument. The electrical wave | currents traveling through space were | possibly too weak to affect the receiving telegraphic apparatus, hence the use of a telephone recelver. ! “It is a common occurrence to hear on | a telephone the signals that are sent over a telegraph wire; that is when the tele- graphic and telephone wires are in prox- ! imity. The ordinary person would not recognize these sounds, but the trained ear of a telegraphic operator can readily | distinguish them. | “It is very likely that the telephone will play an important part in the use of wire- less telegraphy, for we are living ‘n the age of marvelous inventions and aiscov- |'sound waves through space by means of | his wireless system was a subject that | the official of the telephone company do | not think feasible. Some years ago Professor Bell, the in- ventor of the telephone, experimented in | the hope of sending a sound message from one point to another without the use of wires. The experiments were not suc- cessful. Professor Pupin recently perfected ma- chinery which, by a system of “relays,’” carries the sound vibrations over a long- distance wire, where ordinarily the vibra- tions would be lost owing to the extreme resistance to be overcome. Pupin hopes that he will be able to telephone across the Atlantic Ocean with his apparatus, and his invention was recently purchased by an Eastern syndicate for a large sum. The use of a telephone receiver in con- nection with the Marconi wireless tele- graphic system would still.require the services of a telegraphic operator in re- PLANG A HOM FOR NAVY MEN Captain McCalla Secures Site for Clubhouse at Vallgjo. | /If the beneficent intentions of. Captain Bowman H. McCalla, now in command ot the Kearsarge, the flagship of the Nortn Atlantic squadron, are . carried out the enlisted men of the. navy will have a magnificent clubhouse at Vallejo in which to ‘improve their- time while on shore leave.. As-a sort of a pledge to the speedy realization of his project, the cap- tain has already: purchased an appropri- ate site in the navy-yard town. In paying for the lot he used the prize money which DUDLEY EVANS SEGURES PLACE Chosen Acting President of the Wells-Fargo Company. Incumbency to Be Made Per- manent by New Board of Directors. Colonel Dudley Evans of New York was elected acting president of the Wells- Fargo Express Company yesterday. That he would be chosen as the head of the corporation was exclusively announced in The Call last Monday. That Colonel Evans was elected acting president and not president at the meet- ing yesterday was due solely to courtesy to the stockholders of the corporation. The annual meeting of the stockholders will be held in August, when a new board of directors will be elected, and the new board will then proceed to elect a presi- dent and other officers of the company. As between % and 9 per cent of the Stock is held In the East, and as Colonel Evans 1s an Eastern man, it is reasonable to sup- pose he will be chosen as the permanent head of the corporation. | E. H. Harriman was elected a member of the ‘board of directors yesterday, and it 1s known that he made a request to all the members of the board that Colonel Evans be made acting president, so that he would be well in harness when the reg- ular election takes place in August. here were rumors to the effect that E. H. Harriman had his name proposed as a member of the board of directors as a stepping-stone to some day being resident. . These reports are erroneous. arriman does not wish the pusition, and with Dudley Evans as president of the corporation he is perfectly satisfied. Those present at the meeting yesterday afternoon were H. E. Huntington, John Bermingham, Homer 8. King, George E. Grey, Andrew Christeson and N. Siein. Secretary N. Stein at the close of the meeting said: Colonel Dudley Evans' clalms were brought forward and he was elected. at once. The meeting and election were' most harmonious. The new acting president is a very capable man. Of course, with the death of President J. J. Valentine the company has been afflicted | with a great loss. 1 cannot say what changes | are likely to be made under the regime of Colonel Dudley Evans. Last evening Colonel Evans was seen, | but to all questions in regard to his fu- ture policy he refused to answer. Colonel Dudley Evans has been the Eastern manager of the Wells-Fargo Company, and was its New York repr sentative for many years. During his res- idence in the East he made a splendid record. He was born in 1838, and served in the Confederate army during the Civil | ‘War, retiring with the rank of colonel. | Although getting on in years, he is still active, and should make a splen- did president. He says he will not move | the headquarters of the company to New York, but will still have the main office in this city. He is at present staying at the Palace, but will leave shortly for the HEast to bring his family out to San | Francisco. THEATRICAL EMPLOYES HONOR THEIR MANAGEE_ Actors, Stage Hands and Musicians Present Charles E. Cook With Handsome Locket. Manager Charles E. Cook of the Central Theater was called to the stage New Year’s night to quell what was represent- ed 'to be a small-sized riot, and when he responded to the summons he found he was the central figure in a demonstration in his favor. Stage Manager George P. Webster explained that the group of actors, stage hands and the entire force of theatrical employes appreciated Mr. Cook's services during the year and that they felt some little token of their appre- | clation would not be amiss. With that Georgle Cooper began “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow,” with the others following in the chorus. Mr. Cook was dumfound- | ed and especially so when the lights were | flashed up in the auditorium, Tevealing | an assemblage of nearly one hundred friends In the boxes and front seats of the orchestra. Stage Manager Webster then relleved Mr. Cook of a handsome | gold watch that had been presented to him a week previously by Manager Fred | Belasco and appended to it a magnificent chain and locket. Manager Cook was at a loss to say anything and called upou James Corrigan to help him out, which the latter laughingly refused to do. Then at last mustering courage the recipient of the gift thanked all and a general handshaking followed. —_—— T0 SELECT LOCATION FOR A NATIONAL CAMP Generals Young, Kobbe and Randall Leave to Inspect Proposed Sites in the South. Major General Young, accompanied by | Generals Randall and Kobbe, left for San Diego yesterday morning for the purpose of selecting a suitable site for one of the four national camps which are to be used for the drill of larfi bodies of troops. Santa Barbara and Monterey have both | been mentioned as favorable locations for the projected camp, and an inspection of these cities will be made before the offi- cers return. The report of the inspection will be presented to the War Department about the middle of the month. It is not probable that the camp will be located near San Francisco, as it is de- sired that the troops may have a regular campaign march along with the brigade | and division drills, which are to be made to conform as far as possible to the movements of troops in actual warfare. he won by his meritorious service in the late war with Spain. Captain McCalla is not alone in the en- terprise, but will have the assistance of several prominent naval officers. With the site already secured, it is proposed to raise the money for the construction and equipment of the building by popular sub- scription. Mrs.” B. H. McCalla, wife of Captain McCalla, arrived. in this city from the East a few days ago and is engaged in making the preliminary arrangements. In speaking of the project yesterday Mrs. McCalla said that the plans for the clubhouse have not as yet been fully out- lined, but that it would probably be mod- eled after the handsome clubhouse for bluejackets in Brooklyn, toward the erec- tion of which Helen Gould gave $450,000. She said that it is the desire of her hu band to make the enterprise purely a local affair. The plans are to be drawn by a local architect and the money is to be raised on the Pacific Coast. When The camping ground is to be used not alone by the regulars, but also by the different branches of the National Guard. The scheme is a new one for this coun- try, but has long been in vogue with the armies of European nations. e et KECORDER’S OFFICE SHOWS BIG GAIN IN RECEIPTS Godchaux Prepares Yearly Report and Has a Large Surplus for 1901.
