Swedish Labor leaders Issue
j Sweeping Order
EVERY INDUSTRY AFFECTED
Government Heeds Socialist Threat of
j Revolution by HoldiogTro- ps
' la Readiness
Special to the Evening Review.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 4.
The allied trade unions of Sweden,
which include every form of in
dustry, issued a general strike order
today, following the walk-out of
100,000 worklngmen yesterday. The
labor leaders expect to have the or
der effective within 24 hours and
they declare that it wiLl augment the
strike to 600,000 men. The street
car men quit work this afternoon,
thus completing the tie-up of traffic,
the ferries having been forced to
suspend yesterday morning.
Threats of the Socialist party to
turn the strike into a revolution has
caused the government to take
prompt action. The King has sum
moned a special session . of Parlia
ment and the entire army is kept
ready for immediate action.
i Forewarned of the purpose of the
Young Socialists to give the strike a
- revolutionary turn, the government
: has decided at the first sign of in
surrection to declare Stockholm In a
? state of siege and has quartered
feoldiers In various sections of the
'r-ity and suburbs.
; The strike leaders insist that there
? will be no violence on their part and,
j as evidence of good faith, have de
i tailed several -thousand Union men to
' aid in preserving order,
i Many stores have been closed and
j no milk Is being delivered in the city.
( The sale of spirits, beer and wine
j has been prohibited.
The labor conflict that Is at the
r bottom of this trouble originated In a
I dlspyrte over wages in the woolen and
! cottoivlndustries.
Moors are Ijoslng,
j MADRID. Spain, Aug. 4. Com-
j parative peace reigns at Melllla to-
day, according to dispatches received
i by the government The worst flght
i Ing is believed to be over, with the
Spaniards victorious. General Marina
announced In a message today that
he will make another aggressive move
'.apn. He is preparing to make a sor
) e from Melllla and storm the Moors
: in their mountain recesses.
Marina's Clever Trick,
t General Marina executed a clever
'coup during yesterday's fighting, ac-1
cording to his report. The Spanish
' commander set a trap for the Moors,
r who were In the foothills of Mount
: Gugura, Jate yesterday afternoon.
-While lie maneuvered several battal
ions In front of the Moorish position,
the battleship Numancla moved down
., the coast to be in a position to take
; the enemy in the rear.
'. The Moors took the bait and mov
ed forward and at once fell under the
"concerted fire of the fort and -the
Numancla. They broke and retreated
in disorder, leaving many dead on
the field.
f . Revolt is Suppressed.
Tranquility now reigns throughout
Spain, except in certain isolated lo
calities of Catatonia, according to an
official announcement made early to
day. A column of troops composed of
artillery, cavalry and lnfamry is to
day marching on Sabadall. ten miles
from Barcelona, where the Insur
ffients are still holding out.
The general strike at Madrid and
Rtlboa, announced for yesterday fail

ures taken by the authorities.

WRIGHTS AIIMVONDER NOW
WAR ENGINE OF VXCLE SAM
Aeroplane Which Fulfilled AH Testa
in Flight on Friday fa Turned
Over for $30,000.00.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. The
Wright aeroplane, which on Friday
successfully completed the tests re
quired of it, was formally accepted
by the government today.
The two brothers called at the
War Department this morning and
were informed by Genernl Allen,
chief of the signal service corps, who
has had charge of the matter, that
the machine had met all the require
ments, was entirely satisfactory and
now became government property.
In addition to the contract price of
$25,000 for the machine, the Wright
brothers wili receive $5000 bonus for
two miles speed an hour in excess of
the government requirements. The
official figures of the remarkable
flight of Friday, which were made
public today, show that the aero
plane covered the distance from Fort
Myer to ShooterB' Hill at a rate of
37.735 miles an hour and returned
at a rate of 47.431 miles. Thle
means 42.583 miles an hour, which
stands as the record for a two-man
aeioplane In a cross country flight.
liig German Contract for Theiii.
As to their .future plans the broth
ers are not yet sure. One of them
will go to Germany, where the com
pletion of a large contract awaits
them. They have not decided which
will go. They are also planning to
sell aeroplanes to individuals at about
$7500 each for exhibition flights.
OrvllJe left for Dayton this after
noon with his sister, Miss Catherine
Wright.
It is understood that Wilbur will
remain to teach two army officers
the use of the aeroplane, according
to contract. These two officers will
be Lieutenants Lahm and Faulols.
Instructions will be begun In a few
days.
"The great advantage of an aero
plane over a balloon for use In war
fare is that it can fly low over a
rough country." Wilbur Wright said.
"The small exposed surface of the
aeroplane would have made him
practically safe from the fire of an
enemy."
After French Itnlloon Record.
KANSAS CITY. Aug. 3. In an at
tempt to surpass the record of 1205
miles In a balloon, now fhehl by
France, Lieutenant James E. Ware,
of the signal corps of the United
States army, Charles J. Glldden and
Professor H. H. Clayton will under
take to fly from Fort Omaha, Neb.,
to Boston early In October. Lieu
tenant Ware was In Kansas City Fri
day night to meet Glldden and to
talk over preparations.
"We will make this flight from
Fort Omaha because the only hydro
gen gas factory In the United States
is located there," Lieutenant Ware
said. "The reason that France now
holds the record Is because the
French aeronauts use hydrogen gas
exclusively. The balloon which we
will have will hold 80,000 cubic feet
of gu3. We will carry more than one
ton of sand for ballast."
V. 8. Has Airship Destroyer. . .
LONDON, Aug. 3. It has been
learned that the reason the United
States government remains apparent
ly so little concerned about the ad
vances in aerial navigation by foreign
experimenters is that an officer in
the United States army stationed at
Fort Omaha has worked out an elec
tric invention which Is likely to para
lyze all other existing or proposed
engines of war. The machine is said
to project through the air a column
of electric energy of almost any de
sired strength at any given object for
a distance of many hundred yards.
Zeppelin Snils 220 Miles.
FRANKFORT. Aug. 3. The dirig
ible balloon Zeppelin II., steered by
Count Zeppelin himself, descended
safely between 2 and 3 o'clock this
afternoon, after having sailed about
220 miles from Friederlchshafen, at
an average speed of 21 miles an hour.
Half the time the flight was against
strong winds. The balloon circled
above the city and then descended
lightly into a wire enclosure guarded
by two regiments of infantry. A
crowd of 100.000 outside the barrier
yelled like mad and two batteries of
artillery saluted.
Lntliam Still Persevering
CAL1AS, Aug. 3. Hubert Latham
has determined to attempt to win
the Deutsch prize of $5000 for the
first aeroplanist to cross the channel
with a passenger.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 3 Seeine bv
wire has long been the dream of
most inventors, and not a few in the
past have wasted both time and
energy in attempting to solve the
mystery.
It ha, however, fallen ito the lot
of two Danes, brothers, named And
erson, to be the first to Invent an
apparatus by means of which ft is
losfelble to see what is going on at
the other end of a telephone wire.
The details of the Invention are nat
urally kept secret, but there appears
to be no doubt as to its genuineness.
An engineer or high repute has just
tested the claims of the Andersons,
and the expert declared the claim to
be entirely justified.
The process is described as en
tirely new and very simple. It dif
fers from the Korn and other sys
tems of photography. Inasmuch as it
makes no use of photography, but
transmits light and colors directly.
Anyone speakiaig at a telephone fitted
with the apparatus can be seen from
the other end of the wire, and he
likewise can show anything he likes
across the wires.
The Andersons have tnken eight
years to probe the mystery. They
are of humble parentage the sons of
a saddler at Odense and are aged
28 and JU, respectively.
f.HKATKST WIRKLESK STATION.
PrieWifle American: The United
States navy Is to have the greatest
wireless system In the world. Some
Utile time ago it placed with a Pitts
burg firm a contract for the machin
ery necessary to generate sufficient
power -o send messages three thou
sand miles. The machinery is now all
ready for installation, but as yet there
is no place to install It nor a tower
I1I7I1 enough on which to place the
equipment for sending messages so
great a distance. It was suggested by
one of the officials of the Navy De
partment thar. the Washington Monu
ment be used for the purpose, but
the proposition was met with such a
storm of protest from the public, that
the Idea was quickly abandoned. And
now the government Is to build a spe
cial tower for he purpose.
This tower will have a base of SO
feet in diameter, tapering to 8 feet
at the top. at which point it will be
Just 600 feet from the ground level.
When completed it will be in a class
all by itself, no other wireless sta
tion ever having been built to such
proportions. This tnll chlmney-like
structure will be built of steel and
concrete. On account of the recent
development of the efficiency of con
crete, It has decided to use this char
acter of material. The tower, of
course, will be at Washington, and
U will be located in Rock Creek Park,
and the top will be reached by a
spiral stairway.
The whole scheme for building this
gigantic wireless station was brought
about through the Navy Department
because of its desire to reach Its ships
at sea. The machinery for operating
the station is guaranteed to deliver
to all Instruments keyed to receive It
within a radius of 3000 miles. Today
wireless can be depended on to reach
no farther than 1000 milfs, and the
delivery even at this distance is un
certain. The cost of the Installation of the
new station will be $300,000.
Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. S. Nusbaum, Batesvllle, Tnd.,
writes: "Last year I suffered for
three months with a summer cold so
distressing that It Interfered wirth my
business. I had many of the symp
toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre
scription did not reach my case, and
i took several medicines which seem
ed only to aggravate It. Fortunatelv
I Insisted upon having Foley's Honey
and Tar. It quickly cured me. My
wife has since used Foley's Honey
and Tar with the same success." For
chronic coughs and lung trouble It
has no equal. Refuse substitutes.
