NEW YORK. nSv. 29.—The con-
ductor In charge of the Lackawanna
Limited that left Hoboken for Buf
falo yesterday morning at 10 15
o'clock was taken ill while his train
was running 50 miles an hour, CO
miles thiB side of Scranton. Pa. Or
dinarily a delay for ( hanging con
ductore would have been necessary—
either a stop this side of Scranton
while a telegram vas sent ahead ask
ing for a reljef conductor or elst a
wait in Scranton while the relief con
ductor was being found. And every
delay of a train that is scheduled to
run from Hoboken to Buffalo In nine
hours and forty-three minutes is con
sidered a serious matter
But there was no delay. The train
was equipped for wireless telegraph
service; it is the only train s>
equipped in the world. The conductor
notified the wireless operator, and,
while the train was rushing 50 miles
an hour and although mountains ro*«e
high between him and Scranton, the
operator sent a message to the rail
road superintendent there. When the
train pulled into Scranton a little
more than half an hour later, a relief
conductor stepped aboard, grip In
hand and ready to take charge. Th •
other conductor stepped off and
sought a physician
Gets Another Coach.
The train was crowded w hen it left
Hoboken yesterday morning and 40
miles this side of Scranton the con
ductor saw that he needed another
coach He did not have to stop »o
send a message by telegraph, and r.o
delay was necessary in Scranton
while the needed coach was brim;
brought up from the yards The wire
less operator was notified, a wireless
message W'as sent ahead to Scran
ton. and by the time the train reached
that station the extra < ar was watt
lag near by for a quick coupling.
The first wireless experiments w-re
made on the limited which left Iasi
Friday, and yesterday’s was the sec
ond and more successful. Scranton
and Binghamton are 60 miles apart,
but while, the train was between the
two stations it was always in commu
nication by wireless with one or the
other of them.
Experimenter* Jubilant.
When Mr. Foley and Mr Sarnoff
stepped off the train in Hoboken la*t
night, they were Jubilant
“In my opinion,’ said Mr, Fbl-iv,
“the wireless will revolutionize rail
roading We won t do the revolution
ising this week, maybe not th-s
month, but the time is coming, and it
Is not far distant, when the wireless
telegraph on trains will make the
safety and convenience of railroad
traveling 100 per cent greater than
they are to-day. And as a preventive
of accidents I think the wireless will
prove of the greatest value.
“In the Hudson tubes and sub
way, for example, the train dis
patcher sits in his room and by the
flashing 1 of lights knows exactly where
every train is. If two trains get dan
gerously close together, he can send a
signal that will almost Instantly stop
one or both of them I believe that
the same thing can bo done on rail
roads with the wireless. The dis
patcher can sit in front of a board on
which the location of each train on
the line will be shown by wireless tel
egraph. If he sees trains getting *oo
close together for safety, he ('an send
a wireless message that will stop one
of them anywhere -out in the coun
try miles from a telegraph station.
Doubtful Points Cleared.
■ But of course all this is in the
future. At present we are only ex
perimenting. As far as they have
gone, however, the experiments justi
fy the predictions Qur first doubt,
when we contemplated installing »h^
wireless, was about using the rails for
grounding the electric current. You
know there is a ground wire at every
wireless station, hut you can’t have
one from a moving train. So we trl-»d
sending our ground current to the
rails when we made or.r first experi
mental trip last Friday. The scheme
worked well and the first difficulty
was overcome.
“And another problem was settled
at the same time, that of supplying
the electric current for the messages.
We simply used the dynamos already
in the train for lighting purposes. We
had feared that they would not fur
nish sufficient current for the wire
less or, if they did. that using it would
weaken the lights. But we used all
the electricity we needed and the
lights were not perceptibly dimmed.
I think it is certain that we can use
the rails for ground wires and the
ordinary lighting dynamos for our
current. This was demonstrated on
our first trip.
“Tuning” a Problem.
“Our next problem, the one wo at
tacked to-day, is to get out instru
ment on the train in tune with those
in the stations at Scranton and
Binghamton. You see, on account
of the tunnels and low’ bridges over
the tracks we can not have a high
aerial on the train. But high (MTlftll
are necessary if messages are to be
sent any great dist ance, so we have
built them high at the stations and
are trying to work them with low
aerial on the train. This makes the
transmitting of messages between
the train and the stations more dif
ficult. The instruments have to be
adjusted until they are in tune, but I
believe this difficulty can be over
come.
"To-day w«‘ sent and received mes
sages so easily that we are convinced
that the only thing required to perfect
the service is an adjustment of the
Instruments until they are In tune.
We shall make an experimental trip
every other day until this adjustment
is satisfactory. Then the wireless
service on the Lackawanna Limited
will become a regular thing.”
The wireless apparatus has besn
Installed in the forward part of the
train. The aerial consists of a wire
rectangle over each of four cars sup
ported at each car corner by a
stanchion two feet high In the rear
end of the second car from the front
an operator’s room has been built, so
that the receiving and sending in
struments are under the center of the
aerial.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29 —H F. Pyle,
a street ear conductor, had a narrow
escape from becoming a hold-up man by
proxy early yesterday when Fate threw
Pyle into the hands of a negro high
wayman. Pyle met the negro on East

ment.
"Well, you’re up against It, too,” said
the bandit "Take this gun and come
with me. I can take you to some easy
money."
Pyle stood with the revolver in his
hand. He had no desire to become a
highwayman.
' second later he pointed the gun at
the negro and told him to leave The
negro ran.

WILMINGTON,. DEL, Nov. 29.—A
notable church victory by the Rev. A.
W. Lightbourne, pastor of the Chris
tian Church, Dover, Del., marks vir
tually the ending of the most bitter
six-year church feud in the history
of Delaware.
Dr. Lightbourne joined the Wil

ence after leaving newspaper work in
New York, a half dozen years ago,
following his successful prosecution of
S. W. F. Cook ran and William H.
Baker, well-known preachers, sus
pended from the ministry for stock
gambling.
Lightbourne was deposed for pre
senting alleged fraudulent credentials
from the Congregational Church.
This caused a split, and his follow
ers seceded, and, building a $20,000
church, Joined the Christian denomi
nation.
When the Epworth Methodist Epis
copal Church Sunday School here held
Its fiftieth anniversary Dr. Light
bourne was the central figure.

Prunes Welcomed
In Foreign Lands
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Stewed
prunes, that staple dish of the Ameri
can boarding bouse, apparently has
found a welcome home in many foreign
lands, judging from the large increase
in exports from Pacific Coast States.
Figures compiled by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce show
that during the fiscal year of 1912 more
than 118.000,000 pounds, valued at $6.-
000.000, were shipped across the seas. In
1898 the exports amounted only to 16,-
000 <KHJ pounds
More than sixty different countries
are represented among the prune pur
chasers from this country. Germany
leads all others.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Miss Anna
Koener, of No. 264 K street, Staple-
ton, was waiting for a friend pt
Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street
last night when a young man step
ped up to her and said:
“You’ve Just been robbed. That old
fellow' 0 picked your pocket.”
Miss Koener Investigated and ut
tered a scream of corroboration. Her
only quarter and a pair of gold ear
rings were in the bag; her friend had
not appeared, and Stapleton is a long
and watery walk. She screamed
again and ran after the aged man.
who had been pointed out to her.
He w’as moving slowly up the ave
nue—a good, upstanding figure for
one of many years. He was simply,
but warmly clad in fur cap and
heavy coat. He turned In polite as
tonishment when the young woman
gripped his arm.
“You stole—I mean—did you—steal
my purse?” she faltered.
"My dear child, I don’t know w’hat
you mean," he replied. “Are you not
perhaps a little hasty In making such
a charge?”
Policeman Burke came up with M.
J. Sinclair, the man who had first
warned the girl.
Burke took them all to the station
house, however. The young people
were now convinced of the old man’s
Innocence and told Lieutenant Finn
so.
“No pocketbook on him,” said Finn
to Lieutenant Beck. "Of course, not.
Take him down to hearquarters. He's
got a record as long as your arm.”
The finger prints and photographs
completing a record of half a cen
tury of crime were found chronicling
the record of "George Morgan.” He
was Henry Morton, too, and “Scotch
Jack'’ and "Harry King,” as he chose.
He was called “The King of the Pick
pockets" forty years ago, and thirty
years of his seventy have been spent
behind prison bars In London, Paris
and many cities of the United States.

Fort Screven Troops
Plan 100-Mile Hike
SAVANNAW, Nov. 29.—The full gar
rison of Fort Screven will leave to
morrow for a 100-mile hike in heavy
marching order and a ten-day w ar game
at Bluffton, S. C., oppose/1 to a gar
rison of coast artillery from the forts
at Charleston.
Every man and officer at the fort
will have to go, under the orders from
the War Department, and the offi

as the men. The large guns will be
carried on a wagon train, as it is
the plan to avoid the use of the rail
road entirely, and in a great many In

Albino Deer Is Shot
On Mt, Washington
LENOX, MASS., Nov. 29.—Charles A.
Franklin, of Greenfield, Mass., shot an
albino deef on Mount Washington,
Southern Berkshire. The animal
weighed 125 pounds and was one of two
that have been roaming about the
Mount Everett State reservation for
several months. Fifty sportsmen fl orn
Pittsburg have been among the hun ers
in Mount Washington this week.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Because
they say that they believe there is not
a God, a large number of boys in the
four upper classes of Public School
No. 72, in East New York, recently
developed the habit of maintaining
silence during the singing of hymns
containing reference to faith in a
Deity. Some of the girls in the two
upper classes also began to remain
silent during the singing. The de
crease in volume became so notice
able that the teacher in charge of the
singing took action to induce the chil
dren to sing, and failing in this she
referred the matter to the school
principal.
The principal, Thomas D. Murphy,
referred the question to the district
superintendent, C. W. Lyon, who
went to the school for the purpose of
talking with the silence strikers. Mf.
Lyon questioned the graduating class
of boys, and the same class of girls,
and told them that If Joining In the
songs was against their beliefs that
it was not necessary for them to do
so. Since that time a large part of
the school singing has been dropped.
“We have been taught a lot of
things in science about the growth
and origin of things, which don’t
agree with the things in the Bible,
and we take the science,” was the
way one boy expressed it. “The Bi
ble says that God put the rainbow in
the sky a. a sign that there should
be no more floods. We have been
taught that the rainbow is caused by
reflection of the sun’s rays in rain
drops falling to the earth
In the case of the girls the ground
taken is different. Many of the girls
are Jews and they say that to sing
some of the songs would be against
their religion. One song in particu
lar to which they objected is the
"Battle Hymn of the Republic,” writ
ten by Julia Ward Howe during the
war between the States. This hymn
is contained in the “Song Book of the
Nations,” which is used for school
singing.
“Immortals” Expect This Country
to Produce Poet of Rank of
Homer and Shakespeare.
CHICAGO. Nov. 29.— Grand opem
will be written In English. The over
emphasis of the sex motif in novels
will fade with the uplift of the publio
taste. America will produce a poet
to rank with Homer, Aeschylus,
Dante, Shakespeare and Milton.
These are some of the predictions
made by members of the American
Academy and the National Institute
of Arts and letters. The "immor

based upon certain inevitable cycles
of prestige in the creative arts which
America is about to achieve.
