Izatlons, have been pouring re
quests into the navy department re-
itly for relics from the ill-fated bat-
eshlp.Maine. As the department has

Washington. Dec. 22.—Members of
the signal corps are awaiting with in
terest tests of the new wireless equip
ment for aeroplanes; which was ship
ped yesterday from the laboratory of
the signal corps here to Augusta, Qa.,
the winter headquarters of the aero
nautical army of the corps. It is be
lieved that the new apparatus, which
was worked out and perfected by the
signal corps officers in the laboratory
here, will make a great stride in the
wireless signalling from air craft.
With the perfection of the sending and
receiving apparatus the principal prob
lem now before the officers is the
"attennae.”
As an experiment the “attennae"
will be placed first on the four posts
at the ends of the planes.
The apparatus itself is about as
compact as it Is possible, taking up
about as much space as an ordinary
suitcase and weighing only eighty
pounds.
The power, is derived from a small
generator attached io the propellor
shaft of the aeroplane.

Oklahoma City, Okla., Dec. 22.—
Making his address primarily an at
tack upon the Supreme Court of the
United States, which he declared has
become a bulwark of privilege,” Unit
ed States Senator Robert L. Owen at
today’s session of the 8tate Bar As
sociation replied to the arraignment of
the recall of the judiciary by Judge B.
C. Stuart. Owen’s reception was a
lukewarm one in character.
In his attack on the Supreme Court
Senator Owen was careful'to say that
he did not impugn the motives or hon
esty of any of its members, but- that
all were Influenced by their previous
training and associations.
"The people have arrived at a de
cision and a dispassionate judgment
to the manner in whi<(h men are
put on the Supreme Court bench of
the United States,” he said. "EVery
man who has gone on the bench since
the iranB-Mlssi8sippl rate case has
been in favor of writing into the laws
the word ‘unreasonable’ which Con
gress refused to put there.”
He said that in the case of contro
versies between individuals, thfe dburta
would have to be supreme arbiter, but
that in matters of public policy, the
final! decision should be with the peo
ple. {

MR8. F. H. McGEE DEAD.
Washington, Dec. 22.—"Power hat
not boon lodged with the Interstate
Commerce Commission to equalize
economic advantages, to place one
market In competition wlUT another,
or to treat all railroads as a part of
one great whole, to apportion to each
a certain territory or to require all to
meet upon a common basis at all
points.”
This Important principle, was laid
down by the commission today In de
ciding the caio of the Ashland (Ohio)
Fire Brick Company against tbe
Southern Railway and other roads.
The manufacturers of fire brick
along the Ohio river alleged that thalr
freight rathe to cities In the South
were unreasonable aa compared with
the rates to the same destinations
from St. Louis and other points ot
manufacture. They wore not sustain
ed.
From coruln Kentucky points tbs
commission found tbs rates to be un
reasonable, and • reduction of one
