CONFIDENT OF ITS SUCCESS Navy Department Working on "Double Track" System Which lo Expected to Become Reality In a Few Years. WnsIiliiRton. A "doublo-trncli rail road" ruIiIIiik ships from nil pnrts of the world In mid out of Sun Francisco liny, through tlio Golden Onto, as Rifely In fo as In clear weather I That Is thu 8cninlni;ly Incredulous tnslc upon which the nnvy department Is now working. It will be a reality .within a few years, or If congress lie lenient, hy next January 1. Commander II. V. McCormlck, Pa cific const radio material olllcer nt Mare Inland, has asked an appropria tion for the laying of radio piloting cables from San Francisco's water front, a distance of seven or eight miles out through the Golden Gate. Unless the appropriation of tho wire less section of tho bureau of steam engineering is trimmed too severely nt SVnshlngton, tho funds will become available July 1; the necessary sup plies will bo requisitioned Immediate ly, and tho vessels cnlllng nt Snn Francisco will bo electrlcnlly guided Into tho hnrbor beforo next January. Confident of 8uccess. Tho uso of radio pilot cables Is still In tho experimental stage, Comuuindcr McCormlck said, but naval olllcera arc confident of Its success. Only ond ex jporiment has been heretofore con- uucieu in mu uimcu oiiiii'b, iiuu uiiu, nt Now York, operated successfully bntll the cnbles weru cut by dragging lanchors. Tho equipment for tho "double track" consists prlmnrlly of two heav ily insulated cables, costing approxi mately $75,000; a transmitting station and colls on both tho port and starboard bides of a ship. Ona of theso cables, on the right-hand sldo of tho channel, outbound, will flash "O-U-T" nt nil hours of the dny and night, and tho other, on tho luft-hnnd sldo of the channel, outbound, will Hash "I-N." An automotlc key system will perforin this lnbir. With tho aid of tho recently estab lished rndlo compass stations, or by other accurate methods o navigation, ships will bo made to pass over the desired cable.

IJy holding his vessel so that these waves remain equal, he can bring his ship Into harbor through a dense fog as readily as tn clear weather. Advantages of Service. Tho Ujsp of this Borvlco will save the losses accruing when many ships lie out nt seii) waiting tho lifting of thu fog bnnk to come Into the bay, Commander McCormlck said. The ex pense of necessary installations upon the hull of n ship would bo slight In comparison with the advantages to bo gained. "Kvontally, I believe, all tho chief harbors will have radio pilot cable-' and nil ships will ho equipped to avail themselves of the service," Com tnnmlcr McCormlck declared. "As for Snn Francisco, It will be a matter of only n few yours until tho cables nr" laid, even If the appropriation Is re jected this year. In addition to the nnvy vessels, which will, of course, bo equipped to follow the cnbles, I ex pect that practically all ships calling regularly at this port will quickly In stall tho Induction colls." Commander McCormlck said there was n likelihood that the first appro priation would bo sufllclent for the laying of only one cable. In this case, ho said, n signal like "S. F." would be given, and both Inbound nnd outbound vessels would follow tho same cable. San Frnnclsco Iiullctln. HIS NAME So Judge Thought He Could Take Chance on Him.
