Interests Capitalists in His Scheme and Station ‘Will Be Built. } Claims to Have Method of Ptojecting{ | a Wire Two Hundred and Fifty Miles Into the Air. LT A S Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Chicago capital- jists are backing a Chicago man's, | scheme, which on its surface appears | more impossible of attainment than did | { wireless telegraphy, when an incredulous | public was first informed of the theories | | which have now been worked into facts. | The scheme involves the harnessing of | | the electricity in the unknown ethereal regions high above the earth’s surface. | This electricity, the originator assert: | will furnish power and light in inexhaust- | | ible quantities. Chicago is to be the| | scene of the first experiments and eight | | acres of land have been purchased as a | jesite for a plant or experimental station. | | The scheme, worked out by Albert G. | | Whitney to his own satisfaction and | | that of the capitalists backing him | | financially, is to project a wire cable 250 | | miles above the earth. He says that the | atmosphere extends to a height of about | | seventeen miles. above the earth’s sur- | | face. Above the atmosphere; Whitney | | says, the ethereal Tegions are reached, | and at this point the force of gravitation |is away from instead of toward the earth, so he could unwind any quantity | £ cable and the wite would manitain its | | rigiaity. |+ Whitney claims that experiments have { shown that the ethereal regions arelsur- | | charged with electricity and that this | force will be transmitted to the earth’s { surface through a long wire cable, | 'The plan of projecting the cable is | Whitney’s, secret. He asserts that in a | lifetime of scientific investigation he has | discovered the means of projecting the | cable, which will be shown to be as sim- | ple as the principle involved in wireless | telegraphy. COMMANDER ROLLER ! IS IN BAD STANDING!/ Persists in Breaking Rules by Keep- ing Wife on Board the Monocacy. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Commander | John E. Roller, formerly commander of | the old gunboat Monocacy, has reached | this country from the Aslatic station, | having been ordered home by Rear Ad- miral Evans for permanent infraction of | the rules which prohibit the commander of a vessel from permitting his wife to | make her home aboard his ship. It is charged that after-offénding in that par- | ticular several times Roller's attention | was called to the violation of the regula- | tions, but with no apparent effect. When his last offense came to the ears of Rear | | Admiral Evans the latter detached him | and ordered him home. Commander | Roller considers that he has been unjust- | 1y treated, but it is doubtful whether he | will press the matter, as the regulations against such practices are explicit. He is now on waiting orders. ————— RAILWAY COMPANY SUES ! THE STATE OF MICHIGAN Demands Sir Million Dollars Dam- ages for the Revocation of a Charter. DETROIT, Mich.,, Dec. 27.—The Mich-| igan Central Rallroad this afternbon be- gan suit by summons in the Wayne Cir- cuit Court against the State of Michigan for $6,000,000 for damages resulting from the revocation of the railroad’s special | charter by the speclal session of the State | Legislature just at the close of Gover- | nor Pingree’s administration. The State, | in revoking the charter, gave its consent to be sued. Under the charter the road could charge 3 cents a mile passenger fares and paid | a specific tax on_gross earnings in lieu | of other taxes. Under the general law itymay charge only 2 cents a mile and is subject to an ad valorem tax on its prop- | erty, which is doubling its annual taxes. The damages of $6,000,000 are alleged to | be only for one year. ; | REMAINS OF PRIMATE CONSIGNED TO TOMB Simple Services Are Held at Canter- bury and Throughout the Kingdom. CANTERBURY, England, Dec. 27.—The remains of Dr. Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, were interred in the cloisters of Canterbury Cathedral to-day. The obsequies were carried out as simply as peseible in accordance with the late Arch- tishop’s desire. Representatives of King Edward and Premier Balfour were pres- ent. The Archbishop of York, Dr. Mac- Kagan, officlated at a portion of the ser- vices. Simultaneously memorial services were held at St. Paul’s and other cathedrals in the United Kingdom. The Lord Mayor, 8ir Marcus Samuel, and Sheriffs attended the service at St. Paul's. Forelgn Secre- tary Lansdowne and United States Charge White were among the congrega- tion. —— POPE GIVES AUDIENCE TO NAVAL OFFICERS Receives Commander Reeder and Party of the Training Ship Hartford.

Silvertown Engaged in Splic- ing the Shore End at The splicing of the strands of the trans- Pacific cable off Oahu, H. I, from which point the steamship Silvertown is to con- nect the line with the shore end of Wie kiki, was not completed yesterday, as was expected, for no message was re- ceived at the office of the Pacific Com-~ mercial Cable Company. There remains but thirty-five miles of shore end of the line to be connected with the deep sea portion of the cable in order to establish direct communication between San Fran- cisco and the Hawalian Islands. This work has evidently been found to be of greater magnifude than was at first an- ticipated, but Superintendent Harrington, who will have charge of the new cable} when it is put in operation, is sanguine that before the day has passed congratu- | latory messages will signal the comple- | tion of an enterprise that means much | The .Jast message received from the Sil- vertown contained the information that buoys had been placed to mark the spot where the work of splicing the sea and | shore strands must take place. After | that was done all communication with the steamer ceased and will not be again resumed until the entire length of the | cable has been joined together by the en- gineers on the vessel. In the message it was stated that the Silvertown was then in 430 fathoms of water. The charts show 450 fathoms in the channel between Oahu and Molokal, at a point about thirty-five miles from Honolulu. From this it is presumed that the steamer was thirty- five miles from the Hawaiian capital when she cut the cable. DIFFICULT SPLICING. There now remains the task of laying a heavy cable from that point along the channel to the break in the coral reef, halt a mile out from Wikiki, under | Diamond Head. The shore end of the | cable from the reef to the beach and to | the cable house already erected at Sans Souci will also have to be laid. From there the connection will be made with | the cable now in conduit extending from | Waikiki to the office of the cable com- pany under the new Young's Hotel in Honolulu. As near as Superintendent Harrington can judge the sea end was cut off at Koko Point. Joining -this end with the shore end will be much more difficult than | making the splice on the beach at this | point. . Besides the heavy billows that rage at the point named, the coral reef, which is as sharp as a knife, must be taken into consideration. The Silvertown carried the piece of heavy cable for the channel. It is heavier than the ordinary | submarine cable, because of the sharp- pointed coral reefs which cover the bot- tom of the sea everywhere about Oahu. The steamer also carried the piece of cable for the shore end to extend from | the reef to Wikikl. It is supposed that the Silvertown, after laying the chanmuel cable, will steam to Honolulu harbor and enter the custom- house. It is quite likely that duty will be paid on the shore end of the cable as was done here. After the shore end has been floated to the Wikiki station | and made fast to the conduit cable, there will still be two splices to be made, each of which might be delayed by adverse winds or heavy seas.. The shore end must be made fast to the channel cable after both ends have been picked up by the Silvertown. FLASHES THAT SPEAK. The final task will be to lift the sea end of the channel cable and the end of the great cable to San Francisco on board of the Silvertown and there make them one. ‘When this last splice is made, the flash at the cable station on the beach near the Cliff House will show that the current is when ‘the circuit is disturbed. When the last splice is made this light will burn exactly in the middle of the board. ‘When the congratulatory mgssage from Governor Dole to President Roosevelt is ticked off at the Honolulu end, the light will leap to the left for dashes and to the right for dots. By these dots and dashes the operator sitting in a darkened room will read the first message that will be the precursor of others that will do much to develop the commercial interests of San Francisco, more especially after the | cable has been extended to Shanghai, by | way of Manila, which Clarence Mackay bas said will be done by next July.

Anmmsnufim THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disin- fectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human gystem for the same cleansing pur- ose. v Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- pupities always present in the stomach and inteatines and carries them out of the system. yCharm:uu sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth, and, further, acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. . 1t absorbs the Injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis- infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char- coul and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges. They are | composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, the char- | coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the | generai health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can resuit from their continued use, but, on the con- | trary, great benefit. A Baffalo g:lyllclln. in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: “I advise Stu- art’s Absorbent Lozenges to all patients | suffering from gas in the stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the Hver is greatly benefited | Dby the daily use of them; they cost but | zsy cents a box at drugstores, and although in some sense a patent preparation yet [ 19 DR.

HOPE TO WIN TELLERS TOGA Republicans of Colorado File a Series of Contests. DENVER, Dec. 21.—The Republican fight for the control of the Legislature was formally opened to-day, when con- tests were filed with the Secretary of State by —the fifteen Republican candi- dates County and the four float districts. Con- tests were also filed by the three defeated Republican candidates’ for the Senate. The contest papers contain more than 1000 typewritten pages. The contestants declare that Frank Ad- | ams, C. L. Burpee and C. F. Wilson, as members of the Fire and Police Board; R. W. Speer, as president of the Board of Public Works, and Hamilton Armstrong, as Chief of Police, conspired together to steal the election In Arapahoe County. It is alleged that 10,000 fraudulent names were placed on the registration lists; that of 3000 formerly qualified persons on the lists 2000 were impersonated and voted by others; that County Clerk Julius Alchele prevented the registration of 2500 voters, 2000 of whom were Republicans; that the Board of County Commissioners appoint- ed corrupt and criminal election judges in many of the precincts. e The contestants demand that the entire vote of fitty-one Democratic precincts in Denver be thrown out. If this be done, Democratic pluralities of more than 4000 ‘will be converted into Republican plurall- ties of 2000 to 3000. Contests werd filed against two Demo- cratic representatives from Las Animas County and for the office of State Super- intendent of Public Instruction. DYING MOTHER’S REQUEST OBSERVED BY LEGATION Deportation of Ames to Uruguay Is Result of Petition by Relatives. ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Dr. Herrera, first secretary of the Uruguayan Legation, called on Secretary Hay to-day in regard to the case of young Joseph Preston Ames, who, his aunt, Mrs. Sparhawk, al- leges, was deported from the United States, with the assistance of the Uru- guayan Legation here. Dr. Herrera outlined the history of the case briefly to the Secretary as he knew it. According to his statement the boy was brought to the Uruguayan Legation some weeks ago by his maternal cousins, who asked Dr. Herrera to take charge of him, as they did not wish his father’'s rel- atives to get possession of the boy. Dr. Herrera. did not care to assume the guardianship of a young boy. The case, as represented to him, showed clearly that the boy was a Uruguayan citizen, having been born in that country. His cousins furthermore declared that the boy's mother on her deathbed had requested that her child be reared in Uruguay. Dr. Herrera. in view of these facts, advised the boy’'s cousins to make an affldavit to believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart’s Absorbent es than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” that effect before a netary that their ac- tion might not be challenged. The boy for the House from Arapahoe | l { was taken to New York and from sailed for Uruguay. Several days later a notice of Mrs. Spar- hawk’s appointment as guardian was pre- sented, but, the boy not being In his pos- session, he was unable to give him to his aunt. Dr. Herrera is quite willing to throw all the light possible on the case. Dr. Payne Charged With Murder.
