This state ment ho mntle to the Now York Times' l'vondoii corresnoiulent, nt tlio Mine time denjIiiK tlio rexrt which has fre quently cropped up in the last few months that ho hail succeeded In talk ing across the Atlantic. "Some newspaper accounts ot my re cent experiments In Italy." he said, "were very funny. Here Is one that says I succeeded In talking over :i ilia tunce of more than -1,000 miles. As n matter of fact, we talked hy wireless over n distance of sIlKhtlinore than forty-five miles, which was all we ex pected and knew wo could u with tho apparatus we were using. New Telephone Apparatus. "We were experimenting with braud new apparatus on which I began woik only three months ago and which seems very simple and very practical. Wo did not Intend It to work over big distances. It was not tried over long distances; In fact, 1 knew It would not work much over forly-llve tulles. The same typo of apparatus would have worked over longer distances, hut what wo were after was not long dis tance records, but reliability-reliability llrst. We were very much grati fied by the lesults. "The llrst and severest test was twelve hours' continuous ta1ktug--uot nil by one man, of course. The twelve hours' talk was provided by several men and n phonograph working In re lays. "The new apparatus Is more practi cal, simpler and less likely to get out of order than anything wo have had heretofore. "I think transatlantic telephony will be done soon. I think there Is no Im possibility nboutjt. To Talk Across Irish Sea. "Wo are building somo larger nnd more powerful machines, nnd now j expect soon to bo nhle to carry on ex periments In long distance wireless ! telephony over 'JOO or IKK) miles.

The station at Carnarvon, Wales, will nNo soon be experimenting with long dis tance wireless telephony over a mini- j mum of !i00 miles. I "I am also working on n sllll bigger machine, the object of which Is (o send ' transatlantic wireless telegraph mid telephone messages both on the same J machine. I The commercial possibilities ot ; transatlantic telephony, 1 think, will ; not bo nearly so great ns those of transatlantic wireless telegraphy nt least, not at present. on see, nt most we cannot talk more than 100 words n minute over tho telephone, whereas wo can send 200 words n minute by wire less telegraph." FARM WAGES STILL HIGHER. Rise 2.5 Per Cent In Last Year and 11 Per Cent Since Four Years Ago. Tho wages of farm labor Increased about 2.fi per rent last year nnd nliout 11 ht cent In the last four years. Since lWJ the Increase has been nlsmt 30 per cent. The estlmati-s are based upon reports of correspondents of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture. The current nvemgo rate of farm wages in the United States, when board Is Included. Is, by the month, $1!1.3S; by the day, other than harvest, 11.10; nt harvest. ?14J7. When board Is not Included the rate is, by tho month, U).:il; by the day, other than harvest, Jl .'xi; by the day, nt harvest, J1.0I.

In a recent address to students at the law school of the University of Min nesota former President Tnft declared that b man at sixty was at the very zenith of his ability.

A ,1- Aggregate Loans Estimated at $500, 000, and the Average Interest 150 Per Cent, or $750,000 Law of Con gress Evaded by Money Lenders Moving Across Potomac to Virginia Washington. Of all the shady terests which are carried on liy govern' mcnt employees In every department the "loan shark" evil Is said to Imj the worst. Per years department head and hureau chiefs have failed to stum out the class of men who carry on the business union;; their nssoclates of lending small sums at excessively large rates of Interest. In the olllce of the United Stales at lorney for tho District of Columbia am tiled at the present tlmo no less than tirty dlsllncr charges of i'loan shark' tug." the olTeudeiH Including profes sioiinl money lenders. In u preliminary statement recently ghen out Assistant MMrlct Attorney tilven said that no less than l.OlK) complaints of violation of the loan shark law have been re eel veil from persons who requested that their names be not made public. A little over a year ago congress en acted a drastic law against "loan shark lug." The Interest rates which had formerly ranged from CO per cent to 3d) per cent n year, were cut to 1 per cent a month. For a time It was be lieved that the business In Washington was dead. Then the money lenders put their heads together nnd several of the professionals who maintained of- Hi os in the downtown section of the city tried the first ct listen of tho law. It Is nliout twelve city blocks from tlio western edge of the downtown ills trlct to the Virginia side of the Poto mac river. Within llfteen Toot of tho high water mark on the Virginia side of the river two or threo of tho lend ers built offices and hung out three balls. An Interurbnn electric line gave easy access to and from the city. Signs giving notleo of the change of location were displayed before their downtown W nshlnglon nillcos nnd several othei shops bore signs of n change of rest. denco to Alexandria, Vn., flvo miles down the Potomac. Thus by co-opcratlon nmong the money lenders tho entire professional "loan shark" business of Washington was moved to Virginia, with tho ex ception of the "amateur" money lend ers In the government departments, This, the police found, Is the thing that the district attorney's olllce Is deter mined to stamp out. it Is said that it negro messenger In the treasury depnrltiii-nt accumulated over $50,000 durlus his thtrty-llvo years of service through loaning small sums at excessive rates of Interest One of the money lenders established between his Washington olllce nnd his olllce on the Virginia shore n half hour nutomoblle livery service for clients In downtown Washington, across Poto mac park nnd the Highway bridge Into Virginia. It proved too expensive, how ever. Washington, llllod with residents whoso homes are elsewhere, has prob ably the most npnthetlc civic con science lu the world. Its population is nearly ns cosmosiltan as that of At lautlc City, and there Is a spirit of rivalry as to dress and "front" In tho very municipal ntmnsphcre. A man wilh n government Hsltlon has n pres tige lu his home community that few other positions of employment confer. The Incumbent thinks he must llvo up to It by aping the dress and manners of the Idle rich. The messenger with a salary of fiaw or $700 n year alms to dress like his superior, the clerk. Ho dors not want the public to think ho Is a mero messenger. Tho clerk would bo n division chief, mid he aspires to dress the part, Me goes the messenger ouo tatter by allowing himself to bo drawn Into tho ultra ntmosphero of petty so cial affairs In Wnshlugtou, which rare ly get Ij 1 in anywhere. The division chief likes to bo mistaken for an as sistant secretary. And thus the merry game goes ou.

It is certain that Mr. Hawlcy lias lwayg been lame so far ns Oreiron has been concerned. Supposed to, bo representing this state, a state which emphatically went on record for reduced tariff du ties, Mr. Halwcy took tho stump in Massachusetts advocating a repeal of the present tariff laws and n return to protection duties. Ihorc ro no reasons for returning Mr. Hawiey, and there arc tho best of reasons for electing Mr. HollUter and having this state eprecntcd by a man who represents the people.
