NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED ON
TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER
Remarkable Results Achieved Through
the Medium of the Marconi Wire
less Telegraphic System,
When the passengers landed In New
York yesterday morning from the Cun
arder Campania, which left Liverpool
on Saturday last, there waa not ex
hibited among them the eagerness to
get newa which ordinarily characterlsea
the ocean traveler, for throughout the
voyage they had had dally at their
breakfast table a copy of the Cunard
Dally Bulletin, the lateat departure In
wlrelesa Journalism, and had been kept
In dally touch with one or the other
aide of the ocean throughout the trip.
To Marconi waa due the credit for the
getting of the newe, while Purser Gra
ham published a handaome eight-page
dally, which waa in euch demand
among the passengers that the editions
of 700 were sold out almost Immedi
ately. Marconi fulfilled his recent promise
to keep the ship In dally touch with one
side or the other of the Atlantic, and
only by a narrow margin missed re
ceiving messages from the station In
Cornwall, England, during the entire
trip.
The newspaper Is printed on heavy
calendered paper, and typographically
compared favorably with many of the
magazines printed here and abroad.
Purser Graham had as" aaalstants two
printers and a "devil," and a new flat
bed preas had been installed on bo&rd
Juat before the Campania left the other
aide.
Mr. Graham at once eatabllahed
newspaper hours. The paper was set
up and printed at night, the Marconi
operators, assisted by the Inventor,
sending In the stories as soon as they
were received. The paper went ta press
In the early morning hours, and the
novelty of reading a newspaper at their
breakfast tables wus much enjoyed by
the passengers.
"It waa a bit of hard work and a
labor of love," said Editor-Purser Gra
ham as he handed out a copy of his
paper, "but as long as everything waa
so successful, I am very much grati
fied." The first copy of the paper appeared
on Sunday morning, but It waa only a
single sheet, and contained little more
than a notice of publication. On the
following morning the first complete
paper appeared. It contained, among
other things, an account of the killing
of "Caesar" Toung, the bookmaker, and
In a 'fudge," headed "Stop Press ap
peared the bulletin: "The coroner has
committed Peterson (an ex-actress) to
the Tombs without ball."
In the paper of the following day
communication was established for the
first time with Cape Breton, 2000 miles
distant It gave an account of the pass
ing of Icebergs by various vessels, and
a "fudge" about the sinking of a Rus
sian gunboat by Admiral Togo's fleet
There was also an account of an ex
plosion In a distillery In Peoria, 111.
Only once during the voyage was any
attempt made to communicate from
the ship to the shore, and that was
when Marconi,, on Friday, sent a mes-
(sage to Lord Inverclyde In Liverpool, In
answer to the message sent by the in
ventor, Marconi's message read:
"Sincere thanks for your cordial
wishes received Wednesday mldoceao.
Happy Inform you Dally Bulletin en
tirely successful and greatly appreciated."
The paper of following day bad as a
"top-press fudge" a message that the
Russian government had obtained from
Turkey permission to allow the pas
sage through the Dardanelles of the
Black sea squadron. This was headed
"Grave News From Turkey." There
was also a bulletin telling of the Crip
ple Creek riots and the landing of Ad
miral Chadwlck of a guard to protect
the Belgian legation at Tangier. From
the station at Cape Cod came news
that Travis had retired from the open
golf tournament In this issue also
appear the following remarks by the
editor, Purser Graham:
"The present number completes the
first week's Issue of the Cunard Dally
Bulletin. We readily submit that the
Bulletin is In many respects Imperfect,
but nevertheless we feel that any de
fects will be freely overlooked by all
who read the Bulletin and realize the
many difficulties attending particular
ly at its Inception the publication of
a newspaper on board ship.
'The birth of a newspaper M sea
Introduces the dawn of a new era, for
this latest commercial application of
Marconi wireless telegraphy must as
suredly convince the whole world that
the ocean Is no longer Its own master
that the advent of wireless telegraphy
has Indeed struck a staggering blow at
the hitherto absolute power of Father
Neptune, so that he Is no longer In
supreme command of his own do
mains." "The work of Issuing a newspaper has
been eminently successful," said Mr.
Marconi yesterday. "On the way over
I conducted a series of experiments to
And out how to get the best results
from long dlstanec effects. We made
but one attempt to communicate with
the shore. All our energies were direct
ed toward being in a position to receive
without Interruption. We used the lat
est apparatus and It worked success
fully. The question of maintaining a
dally paper rests entirely with the
steamship company. We have proved
that we can get news dally from both
continents. The cost is the thing to be
considered. This experiment has cost
about $5000."
Mr. Marconi said he did not credit
the report that the United States gov
ernment would control the wireless sta
tions and take entire charge of them In
the future. Marconi will sail for Eng
land on Tuesday next
At the concert on board the Cam
pania Friday night Sir Herbert Ash
man, one of the passengers, compli
mented Marconi on the success of the
paper. In his response the Inventor
thanked all on board for their co-operation.

WELCH BLOCK.
Some days ago the. police commis
alon canceled the liquor license of Sa
loonkeeper Busse, proprietor oX Teu
tonla hall, because a boy 16 years of
age had been admitted to the dance
hall, says the Bulletin. The bar, con
nected with the hall, was In another
room and no liquors were sold on the
floor of the halL Commlssnoner Rea
gan, however, who Is not Buase'a in
surance broker, made a personal matter
of the accusation against Busse, and
to oblige htm, the commissioners de
prived Busse of his license. Busse'
saloon was a decent place, frequented
by honest people. It had been estab
lished over 20 years. His good record,
however, did not save him from Rea
gan's wrath.
In contrast with the commission's
severity toward Busse Is the deferential
treatment given to the proprietor of
the notorious "Fawn" saloon at the
corner of Grant avenue and Berry
place. The building was erected by Abe
Ruef, but remained untenanted until
the beginning of the present year, when
Ruef acquired control of the police
commission by the retirement of G. A.
Newhall and the appointment of Rea
gan. Thereupon a liquor license was
lnaued to a man named Becker, who
opened a bar on the ground floor and
a gambling hell on the floor above of
the Ruef building. "The Fawn" became
the talk of the town. It was a scene
of revelry by night frequented at all
hours by women, and a rendezvous for
gamblers.
A few weeks ago Becker knocked
dawn a man named Baxter, who had
been playing at one of the gambling
tables, and took his winnings away
from him by force, Baxter complained
of the robbery and Becker -was cited
by the pollce commlsslon. After a num
ber of postponements the case was
heard last night and the evidence
against Becker was conclusive. Beck
er stated, however, that since the cita
tion had Issued he had sold and as
signed his lease of the "club" quarters:
that Is, of the gambling hell. Immedi
ately the commission, seising this
flimsy pretext, dismissed the matter.
Becker still conducts "The Fawn" with
the approval of the commission, and the
gambling hell will be managed, at leasTf
temporarily, by a dummy proprietor...
These facts carry their own em
inent. The commissioners might have
some difficulty In explaining ' satisfac
torily why they were so hard on Busse
and so easy on Becker.
