NEWS PRINTED BY WIRELESS Machine Invented Which, It Is Said, Will Set Type Through Miles of Space FAST WORK POSSIBLE Items Will Be Run Off on Linotype Automatieally as Soon as They Arrive : ‘ LB Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 2%6.—After five years of labor and experimenting Elmer A. Bur- | lingame of Laporte, Ind., an electrician and inventor, to-day announced the com- | pletion of apparatus that will revolution- ize the present methods of telegraphic communication and news dissemination. The invention is a printing wireless tel- egraph instrument. The operator who sends the message writes it on an or- dinary typewriter. This prints in the | | | usual way, but in addition flashes the mes- | sage through space to the receiving sta- tion, where a copy is printed on a similar machine, exactly like the first copy. The recetving station must be attuned to the incoming Hertzlan wave, thus glving se- crecy and making it possible to have sev- | eral sets of instruments working at once | without interference. This non-interfer- ence is said to be so complete that all sending instruments may be connected | i to the same sending wire and all receiv- | ing instruments to another wire, Inventor Burlingame claims that, mes- sages may be sent by his printing system about five times as fast as with the Morse code, and the necessity of waiting for an idle line is done away Awith. It is claimed that by connecting the linotypes in the newspaper offices within a radius of 500 miles it will be possible to operate them simultaneously from one sending station. The cost of equipping a receiv- ing station will be about $1000, while the cost of a sénding station will be about $2000. Laporte capitalists, it is sald, are pre- paring to build a factory to manufacture the apparatus. .\‘AL(N[\ WINDOWS PUT TO A NOVEL USE | Contain Wax Figures Illus- trating Fate of a Lover of Drink. Special Dispatch to The Call. SPOKANE, Dec. 26—Rev. Charles H. Braden of Grace Baptist Church to-day completed his task of converting the win- | dows at “Jimmie” Durkins' gin palace into a temperance lecture. The city turned out en masse to see the result, and it took policemen with clubs to keep the crowds from obstructing traffic. There are nine big plate glass windows on both sides of the saloon and various sorts of liquor. To-night, however, they are made up into a series of tableauX and pictorial displays to il- lustrate the downfall of a young fello who starts out as a ‘unoderate drinker. In the one window the hero ‘Joe” and his bride “Ma are standing up before the marrying them. Full- size wax figures are used, The second | window shows him leaving for a saloon against the protest of his wife. is seen drinking with friends. prohibition magazines these scenes, The féurth scene shows “Mary” as a disheveled woman hard at work over the wash tub and on the tub is marked “The piano that Mary got.” The two figures show her wan, hungry, pinched. Other wisplays show “Joe” in the act of kill- ing a man, and the last shows *‘Joe" con- victed In a prison cell with “Mary’ ing heside him. Peeping through the prison window is Durkin, the keeper, saying, “I started it.” Rev. Braden is a young man. He recently proclaimed from his pulpit that he wished he could show the result of intemperance in a forcible manner. To hiS astonishment Durkin offered him the use of his windows. Ministers generally condemn Braden's undertaking and claim he will not accomplish any good at all, and that he may do much harm in bring- ing the ministry and religion into dis- repute.

Another tore off his overcoat and threw away his hat and then went through his pockets. Carter was so frightened he could not speak, and the robbers were as if dumb. When they had obtained all they could find they remounted their cart and silently drove away. Carter rode to Laton and notified the poiice. ESCAPES DESTRUCTION BY A NARROW MARGIN British Ship Brodick Castle Tossed About by Christ- mas Gale. VICTORIA, B. C., Dec, 2%.—The British ship Brodick Castle, which arrived to- night, forty-seven days from Salina Cruz, had a narrpw escape from disaster on the rocks of Vancouver Island near Carmanah last night. She arrived off the straits during the flerce Christmas gale, which blew over sixty miles an hour from the southwest. She entered the straits under bare poles and was then driven by the gale toward the Vancouver Island coast with tremendous seas break- ing over her. Life belts were brought on deck and Captaln Olson said he thought the vessel must be lost slight hope of any one reaching shore, when she managed to work clear in the nick of time, just before daylight. ———— Tragedy at Turkey Shoot.

VATCAY 500K 0N SEPARATION [ — Volume Deals With Recent Divorcement of the Church and the State in Franee —_—— TATESMEN ARE BLAMED | Effort Made to Make Clear Causes Which Led Up to the Cutting of the Ties et s PARIS, Dec. 26.—A French of a Vatican white book regarding the separation of church and state reached | Paris to-night. The volume consists of 300 pages, divided into a preface, two sec- | tions and an appendix, the latter contain- | !ing many unpublished documents. The | | book disclaims any intention of replying to those whom it calls the detractors of the church and expresses the desire not to offend any one, saying that its chief objects are to enlighten public opinion re- garding the facts and prevent the ! handing down of misstatements connected | with the history of such an important event In the leading chapters an effort is { made to demonstrate that the entire onus for the rupture between the Vatican and the French Government and the resultant | separation of church and state rests with various French cabinets, the members of which pursued an anti-religious poliey, | including the suppression of the congre- gations and of religious instruction in the schools. The book next proceeds with the refuta- tion of the accusation that separation was rendered inevitable by the attitude of the church. It declares th: this charge was made because French statesmen, khowing that the people of France had no desire for a separation, wished to dis- claim responsibility for the consequences which, it is pointed out, would be equally serious for France and for the church. Then follow arguments showing the al- leged baselessness of the charges brought against the church of acting contrary to the interests of the republic. The ques- tion of the nomination of bishops Is dis- cussed at length. The appendix deals in detall with the | French protectorate over Catholics in the Far East and the argument is advanced translation OXZ. = < A NEW ENVOY Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Viscount Siu- that, although this protectorate Is |20 Aoki has been appointed Japanese | founded on international treaties, it must | Embassador to this country.
