WIRELESS CONTROL OF NAVY
Projected Tall Tower at Washington
and Its Importance.
EEV0LTJTI0N IN NAVAL WARFARE
Experts Knthoslostle Over the Possi
bility ot veeplna- the Sea -wit a
C. . D. Signals Detail
of the Plan.
If the plans outlined by the wireless ex
perts of the Navy department do not
" gang aglee," and If the National Elec
trical company la able to fulfill It Part
of a government contract for which It Is
the only bidder. It will be possible within
two years' time for the chief of the Bu
reau of Navigation, sitting at his desk In
Washington, directly to communicate with
and control the movement of the Atlantic,
fleet by means of a telegraph Instrument
at his elbow or In the next room, even
though the fleet may be cruising In the
Caribbean or "skyhootlng through th
brine" In mldorean.
All this I to be brought about by the
Installation In Washington of the htghet
power wireless telegraphy system yet de
vised, and a similar Installation on board
the ship of the fleet. Tne installation of
this system will require the erection at
the capital of the highest structure ever
planned for wireless telegraph communi
cation, a tower which will rise 6C0 feet in
the air, and which will overtop the Wash
ington monument by forty-five feet. It
will be the second highest structure In
the world used for the sending ot wireless
messages, the highest being the Eiffel
tower In Paris, which was constructed
before wireless telegraphy was a proved
fact, and which is now used for a number
of other purposes.
The project is enough to stimulate the
Imagination of even the most blase ob
servers ef modern scientific progress, of
the men who have already classified aero
plane with motor cars In their mental
card Indexes, and who have long since ac
cepted the ordinary manifestation of wire
less telegraphy as being quite as much a
matter of course as the dally vlefls of the
letter carrier.
It will place the United States away In
the forefront of other nations Insofar as
the application of wireless telegraphy to
naval purposes is concerned, and It will
mark the first practical use of wireless
telegraphy at long distances on an abso
lutely "ure-flre" basis, for the contraot
which Is to be awarded will provide that
the system shall transmit messages by day
or by night from Washington to the ships
of the fleet at any point within a radius of
3,000 miles, not snatches of messages, not
Isolated and unintelligible fragments, but
complete messages.
The Navy department ha been working
on the scheme for nearly two years, and
bids were recently advertised for. An ap
propriation of $70,000 for the construction
of the tower and of $100,000 for the pur
chase of the wireless Instruments was al
ready available.
The only company which submitted a bid
which met the exacting requirement of
the specification was the National Elec
trical company, which controls the wire
less patent of R. A. Fessenden, recognized
as one of the foremost electrical expert!
In this country. "
The Nee of Being; Shown.
This company ha an experimental sta
tion at Brandt Rock, Mass., and wcorn
panylng It bid was a statement that It
was successfully sending messages across
the Atlantic, ocean to a station on the west
coast of Scotland and that message from
that station were being successfully re
ceived In this country. This statement was
backed up by personal statements made
by representative of the company.
The naval authorities decided that they'd
like to be "shown," and so Secretary
Meyer decided to defer action on the bid
until the company demonstrated its ability
to do what It claimed. The bid was not
rejected. It was merely held up. The com
pany expreassed It entire willingness to
demonstrate to the complete satisfaction
of the department that It could make good
It promise, and during the summer, prob
ably In August, an exhaustive series of tent
will be made under the personal super
vision of two of the wireless experts of
the navy, Lieutenant Commander Cleland
Davis and Lieutenant George C. Sweet.
Two scout cruisers will be equipped by
the National Electrical company with the
Fessenden Instruments, and messages will
be sent to them from the station at Brandt
Rock. Under a schedule to be decided
upon later they will receive messases from
this station at distance varying from 100
to 3.000 miles.
The specification requires that the shlpi
must be able to send messages to laa,l
from a distance of at least 1,000 miles.
Prof. Fessenden said that it would be Im
possible for him to guarantee that mes
sages could be sent from the ship to land
at greater distance. Any attempt to do
so would necessitate the erection on each
ship of an exceptionally high mast, which
would not only be cumbersome, but ex
tremely vulnerable as well.
Confidence of Naval Expert.
Prof. Fessenden 1 positive In his asser
tion that the shore Instrument wtll be
capable of sending messages a distance
of 3.000 miles, and that the Instruments
on the ships will be able to send messages
a distance of 1,000 miles, either to shore
or to one another. The navy experts, after
a preliminary Investigation of his system,
express themselves as "being convinced
that he will demonstrate the efficacy of
his system, and that Its piactlcal use by
the government will be an actuality within
the next two years.
One of the particular advantages of the
system 1 that by means of a "combina
tion," which can be likened to the com
bination of a safe, absolute secrecy can be
maintained In the transmission of mes
sages. The sending Instrument Is attuned
to a certain key and the receiving Ins ru
ment become automatically attuned to the
same key as soon as the vibrations begin.
This key can be changed several timet
during the sending of a message. Even
though there should be another instru
ment on the Fessenden model at work
within the active radius of the naval In
struments, tt would not pick up the mes
sages, because what may be termed the
"basic combination" would not have been
et. Thla Is not scientific phraseology, but
It will convey some idea to the lay mind
of this particular attribute of th system.
Another great difficulty which Frof.
Fessenden claims to have overcome In his
he difficulty which has hitherto
I beer experienced In sending wireless me
age by daylight. There has never be in
any sssurai.ee that messages by daylight
would be sure of transmission, darknen.i
being to date the best time for the success
ful sending of messages through the air
To be ure, wireless message are con
tinually being sent by daylight, but some
times they do not carry, and the operation
of wireless telegraph station during th
hours of sunlight I at present far from
satisfactory. Prof. Fessenden claims to
have overcome this difficulty entirely. He
will have to In order to fulfill the specifi
cations, whioh require not only an absolute
guarantee of secrecy, but a further guar
antee that messages may be sent at any
time, day or night, with perfect accuracy
over the distances mentioned.
Proposed Tower.
The 'tower which it Is proposed to erect
In Washington for the transmission of
messages to the fleet will probably be con
structed of concrete, nnd will be connected
with th office of the chief of the Bureau
of Navigation by wire, so that the mes
sages will actually be sent and received
from his very elbow. No location has jot
been decided upon for the tower, though It
is likely that It will be erected within the
city proper. It has been decided to con
struct it In a location where It will not In
terfere In any way wth the simple grand
eur of the Washington monument.
The plans which have been prepared are
purely tentative as yet. The detailed
plans will not be prepared until the prac
ticability of the wireless apparatus la
demonstrated, and the work of construc
tion will not be commenced until next
spring at the earliest.
The Navy department Is at present oper
ating about forty wireless stations on 4he
Atlantlo and Psclflo coasts. The Instru
ments with which these stations are
equipped have sent and received message
to and from points 1.200 miles distant, but
there is absolutely no certainty that they
can do this at all times. That Is where
the weakness of the present system In use
Is found. They are not absolutely reliable.

BIG
MEDICAL FEE LOST
Unfeeling; Conrt Hold that SIOO.OOO
I a Shnde Beyond the
limit.
A medical fee of $100,000 Is not to be re
covered against the estate of the late Mrs.
Harriet G. McVlcker by Dr. Lord C. il. E.
Zelgler, under a decision of the appellate
court of Chicago, setting aside a Judgment
In the circuit court awarding this amount
to Dr. Zeigler.
nv . .
nB coniract entered Into between Mrs.
McVlcker, who was at the time 79 vears
old, and Dr. Zeigler, osteopath and a young
man, was declared by the appellate court
to be against public policy and therefore
void. Under the contraot, which was signed
July 24. 1M9. Dr. Zeigler was to give med
ical attention for the rest of her life to
Mrs. McVlcker, who was the widow of J.
H. MoVlcker, once a prominent Chicago
theatrloal owner.
After Mrs. McVlcker's death In Pasadena.
Cal., August 28, 1904. Dr. Zeigler made a
claim In the probate court for the tlOO.OJO.
The claim attracted great popular Imprest.
It was not allowed, however, bv Judge
Cutting, although that Jurist did allow
$10,000 on an oral contract. Dr. Zeigler
then took an appeal to the circuit court,
where, In 1907, after a prolonged Jury trial
he was awarded the full amount In cor
troversy.
Dr. Zeigler met Mrs. McVlcker In R)9.
and In October of that year he began his
treatment of her. He first treated her at
his office, and afterward at the Lexing
ton hotel. In April, 1904, Mrs. McVlcker
went to Pasadena, accompanied by the
physician.
The opinion of the appellate court was
read by Presiding Judge Holdom. In part
the court said:
"Dr. Zelgler's right must bo admeasured
In harmony with the obligations and duties
which the law exacts of persons bearing
the relationship of doctor and patient In
their relations with each other."
After citing several opinion to define the
meaning of the relationship In this case,
the opinion reads:
"Applying these tests, we find a contract
to furnish medical services, by a young
osteopath practitioner (but recently gradu
ated), whose usual and customary charge
was $2 per treatment, to an octogenarian
woman In feeble health, as long as "he
might live, at the extravagant remunera
tion of $100,000.
"The evidence In the record falls, In our
opinion, to sustain the oontract as being
fairly obtained, or to prove that It was
entered Into upon adequate consideration,
or upon full Information and with Inde
pendent advice.
"The fact that Zeigler did not practice
any artifices or exert any undue Influence
to induce Mrs. McVlcker to shorten her
life, does not hold any palliation to Ills
position before the law In attempting to
enforce the contract against her estate nr
relieve the contract from the Imputation
which the law casts upon It of being con
trary to public policy and therefore void.
The policy of the law Is not to sanction the
putting of a party In a position where he
Is subject to the temptation to do wrong
In serving his own Interests, which a n
the case at bar, is to hasten death rather
than to prolong life. It cannot be gain
said but that the early demise of Mr. Mo
Vlcker was to the financial lnteret of
Zeigler, for on the happening of that event.
If the contract should be uphell, he would
be entitled to receive from her estate the
sum of $100.000." Chicago Record-Herald.

"Habits are hard to break," said Walter
Prichard Eaton the other day. "Perhaps
you've beard of the automobile enthusiast
who bought a motorboat? '
"He took a day's Instruction In the art
of managing It and keeping the machinery
In running order, and then started out on
his first trip alone. It was late In th
afternoon when he returned home. He
came In by the back way. His clothe,
were wot and hi hair was hanging over
his eves In strings.
"'John..' exclaimed hi wife. 'What on
earth . .'
" 'It's all right, Mary." he hastened to
assure her. No I didn't upset. Every
thing's all right. But when I had been
out on the water a couple of hours some
thing went wrong with the motor and-'
" Yes ?'
" 'Well, before I er realized It 1 was
over the side and trying to get under the
