William Murconl expects to telephone
across tlio Atlantic In the near future,
possibly within six months. This state

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 Cllfden will, I hope, be do
ing It soon. We hope soon to talk be- 1
tween Ireland and London If every
thing doesn't get smashed up over Ul
ster u ml prevent the experiment. 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,

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

balls. An Interurbnn electric line gave
easy access to and from the city. Signs

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

This, the police found, Is the thing that

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

FRED HOLLISTER
A FAILURE STOP HIM
The reason the Courier asks voters
to give Congressman Hawley's place
to Fred Holllstcr of Coos County, .Is
because Mr. Hawlcy is not making
good the samo reason tho Courier
would lei go of nn incompetent print
er nnd put another man in his place.
There isn't an individual or news
paper in this district that can nsk for
Mr. Huwley's return to congress on
his record for his record won't bear
the strain.
Dining his past four years in con
gress he lias not passed u bill except
private pension bills.
this of itself would not be any
thing against him, perhaps, but dur-

It is certain that Mr. Hawlcy

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.
It's n joke, a burlcsnuc for pro
