NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—The steamship Philadelphia of the American line, which | arrived t6-day, broke the record for hav- ing the longest communication with the land by means of the Marconi wireless telegraph system. On Saturday, February 1, the steamship was, at 12:15 p. m., a few miles off the Lizard. Messages were then exchanged, and the telegraphing was kept up until midnight of the following day. The last message was sent when the Philadelphia was 150 miles distant from the land. This last message was a _communication from the American line officlals in England to Captain Mills of the Philadelphia. This is | the lo t distance in which wireless communication has ever been had be- | tween a ship and the land. | Because of the severe weather the Phila- delphia had to put into Cherbourg, where she was delayed for more than sixteen hours. The Marconl system was contin- ually working while. the vessél was lying to, lth: connections at all times being verfect. ADVERTISEMENTS. Baby’s future happiness depends on present nourishment.

Hudson of this county had a coffin made to measure for himself some time ago, and now that he is dead the elements may cheat him out of | its use. Hudson was a farmer of the Big Bend region, forty-five miles northeast of here. He had a jife and several children there, For a considerable time he was ill, but scorned to have a physician. He would have no ‘‘quacks” around, he said, and pinned his faith in patent medicines. When he became bedridden several months ago he decided that death was near. His preparations for.its coming were practical rather than spiritual. He sent for a carpenter and had his measure | taken for a coffin. He was particular about the fit, and so tried it. The coffin was a rough box of inch boards, but it satisfied the man who had ordered it. Hudson gradually grew worse. His left forearm and the heel of one of his feet seemed to be dying. Gangrene began in one of those parts. After much effort Hudson was induced to permit himself to be conveyed to Redding to undergo an operation. The surgeon’s work was done several days ago and Hudson. succumbed to-day. Now, whether the coffin the decedent | was so particular should be of the right size will be used is a question. In the present storm with the many intervening swollen creeks it is considered almost im- possible to get the remains to Big Bend, where the coffin stands ready in a corner of the cabin. The mail stages cannot cover the Big Bend route. The relatives would like to carry out the desires of | Hudsen, but it is probable that the re- mains will be laid away in the Redding cemetery in a more modern casket. — St. Patrick’s Day Colebrations. At a meeting of the executive commit- tee of the St. Patrick’s day celebration held at 1133 Mission street vesterday it was decided to hold two celebrations, one in the aftérnoon and the other in the evening.

Ay i BERKELEY, Feb. 9.—Mrs. Annie Pe- terson has remained in charge of her classies in the Columbus School, Berke- ley, until within a week in spite of the School Board rule prohibiting the em- ployment of married women as teachers. Mrs. Peterson has been Miss Annie Pyne on the list of teachers, although she was married secretly to Henry Peterson, a | West Berkeley carriage-maker, in Salinas last June. At that time the young people conclud- ed not to wait any longer for the perform- ance of the ceremony, But Miss Pyne was not ready to give up her position. In this dilemma’the couple determined on a secret marriage, A trip to Salinas was arranged and a quiet wedding solemnized | in the Presbyterian Church at that place. | After the knot was tied the bride re-| turned to her father's house to remain there as usual, until vesterday, when she went to join her husband in the new home he has been making ready in the meantime. The announcement of her mmriaie just before leaving came with as much surprise to her family as to the | School Board. who discovered that they | had been for six months unwittingly | breaking one of their own rules. Mrs. | Peterson's resignation from the depart- | ment was promptly accepted. | @ il loeldufielnled @ | URGES REMEDIES FOR TRUST EVILS Industrial Commission Issues Second Part of Its Report. WASHINGTON, Feb, 9.—The gsecond part of the report of the Industrial Com- mission was made public to-day. It cov- ers manufactures and Industrial combina- tions, and in its recommendations quotes from’ its report to Congress in 1900, in | which it then recommended: | That the promoters and organizers of ‘cor- porations or Industrial combinations which look to the public to purchase or deal in their stocks or securitles should be required to fur- nish full details regarding the organization. That any prospectus or announcement of any kind soliciting subscriptions which fails to make full disclosures as aforesaid, or which should be deemed fraudulent and that ali information concerning the corpora- tion should be open to investors and that the larger corporations—the so-called should be required to publish annually a prop- erly audited report, showing in reasonable de- tail their assets and liabilities with profit or loss, such report and audit under oath to be subject to Government inspection. In addition to the above the commission now recommends: That District Attorneys of the United States be authorized and directed to institute pro- | ceedings for violations of the Federal antl- | trust laws. ¥ That combinations and_conspiracies, in the form of trusts or otherwise, in restraint of trade or by reduction, which by consensus of judicial opinion are unlawful, should be so | declared Dy legislation uniform in all juris- dictions and as to all persons, and such Stat- utes should be thoroughly enforeed. That stringent laws be enacted by the Con gress and the several State Legislatures, mak ing both penal and criminal the vicious p tice of discriminating between customers and cutting rates or prices in one locality below those which prevail generally, for the purpose of destroying local competition; and that such laws should give to any person damaged Khe] right to sue for and recover prescribed penal- ties and make it the duty of the prosecuting officers to proceed against the offenders. That to prevent overcapitalization the sev- eral State Legislatures enact laws similar to the anti-stock watering laws of Massachusetts; also to provide for State supervision of all public service corporations, with power to rec- ommend or regulate rates for service and to pass upon the public need, desirability or exi- gency of any proposed new service. That an annual franchise tax be imposed upon all State corporations engaged in inter- state commerce, calculated upon the gross earnings of each corporation from its interstate business; that the minimum rate of such tax be low. ‘but that the rate be gradually in- creased with increases In earnings.

Charles Feitz, the fireman, went down with the engine and was killed, after un- dergoing ‘terrible suffering. He was caught between the locomotive boiler and an upset boxcar/and slowly burned to death within sight of a rescue party which was making every possible cffort to save him. A, H. Montgomery, the engineer of the train, jumped from his cah as the engine struck the slide. Fe was badly shaken up by the fall, but otherwise uninjured. There were no ather casualties. No one appears to be blamed’ for the accident. The tracks had been patrolled as usual and the slide must have come down within a very short time prior to the arrival of the ‘train. The train was made up of sixteen cars of mixed freight. All the cars were derailed, but only the first five followed the locomotive into the lake. The track was blocked for fifteen hours, but this afternoon the slide, and another found a few miles above it, were cleared away and traffic was resumed. The wreck occurred about fifteen miles north of Seattle. The train had left this city shortly after 11 o'clock. In rounding a sharp curve at the head of the lake the big slide came suddenly into view and in an instant the engine had plowed into 1t overturned and plunged into the water. Montgomery jumped, but Feitz went down. He tried to crawl out of the water over the hot boiler, but one of the box cars suddenly piled on top and fastened him down by an arm. i The conductor, engineer and others of | the train crew hastened to him and found it impossible to extricate him. After a moment or two it was decided that his arm must be chopped off, but before thiis could be done the terrific heat of the boiler, against which he was pinned, had overcome him and he was dead. Feitz Jrag, 8 years old and had relatives llving in Wayland, Towa.

They are expected TELLS OF EARL JUDAG PERID The Rev. Dr. Myers delivered a lecture at the Bush-street Synagogue last even- ing before a large and deeply interested congregation. The subject of the dis- course was “Judaism and Paganism,” in which it was shown that the rabbis of Is- rael inculcated three principles, which be- came the prevailing characteristics of Jews—modesty, mercy and active good- ness. While there were slaves in the heathen days of Rome, the Jew was less at the command and the will of the slave- owners than others were. He taught and discussed everywhere the doctrine of for- bearance, of brotherly love, of charity and morality. In that period there was no such condition as equality among men. The slaves were composed of men of al- most all nations, and the pagans chose from their ranks subjects for the arena, where they were torn to pieces by wild beasts for the amusement and edification of the bloodthirsty Romans—the pagans. Throughout those times the Jew had no civil rights, yet he was recognized as a man, and the master of the Jew-slave had to give him sufficient food and ample rai- ment. The pagans made poverty a crime, and when they condescended to dole out charity they threw their gifts at the sup- plicant. The pastimes of the pagan were noted for the orgies and abominable crime, while they took a delight in crush- ing out all humanity from the hearts of the people. The Jews said, in the light of all this, that they must live as a protest against degradation and wanton cruelty, and they set out on their task to win over the pagan by words of love. They showed him that as God was merciful man must be merciful, and as God was holy 80 man must be. It was that beau- tiful sentiment that drew many from pa- ganism. The philanthropic and humane socleties of to-day _breathed the very spirit of Judaism. By purity of love, by charity and goodness, sald the lecturer, we can show our service to mankind and to God, the author of all. ® HINDOO TWINS IRE SEPARATED PARIS, Feb. 9.—The Hindoo twins, Ra- dica and Dordina, who were united in a manner similar to the Siamese twins, who were exhibited throughout the world, were separated to-day by Dr. Doyen. The op- eration lasted twenty minutes and was successful, but owing to the weak condi- tion of the patients, due to illness, the final result is still doubtful. The Figaro publishes an interview with Dr. Doyen, who after explaining that the operation was undertaken under excep- tionally unfavorable circumstances, as both the twins were attacked by tubereu- losis and almost dyving, describes the op- eration, which was performed under anes- thetics. The membrane was composed of stretched tissues, which soon eontracted. The gperation will leaye only a straight sear extending from the xyphold appen- dix to the navel, which has retaken its normal position, one-half of it remaining on each subject. The membrane connecting the twins contained three large arteries, and the patients lost between one and two ounces of blood. The only cumrln.lnt they made was that they felt pain in the membrane, They were very weak and had some fever. At last reports they both were sleepi quietly. ., 1 Carnival Opens at Paris.
