Mrs. Klols Nelms Dennis, of Atlanta,
(in., and missing since June, were is

Summary of Case.
Portland, Ore. The disappearance
of Mrs . Idols Nelms Dennis and Miss
Heat rice Nelms, her sister, was re
'ealed when their mother In Atlanta
received a letter from Mrs. Dennis
mailed in San Francisco.
"I killed It in New Orleans and am
going to kHI my brother here,” the note
said. It was mailed July 3rd.
No such murder had been commit
ted In New Orleans the authorities
said. Marshall Nelms in San Fran
cisco did not know of his sister's pres
ence there. Efforts of the pollee In
many cities to find the sisters where
ubouts were unavailing.

United States district attorney in Ne
vada was mentioned In connection
with the affair when checks, said to be
for >• is totalling nearly SIO,OOO,
written by Mrs. Dennis, were found
to have been made payable to him. He

Itinerary on his southern trip, denying
any knowledge of the affair and set
ting forth his business relations ns an
attorney with members of the family.

USE OF WIRELESS IN
THE GREAT WAR
In Wars of Nineteenth Century an Army Spent Much
Time in Attempting to Cut an Enemy’s Telegraph or
Telephone Wires. To Break Transmission of Dis
patches of Today is Practically Impossible.
In wars of the nineteenth century
rn army spent much time in attempt
ing to cut an enemy’s telegraph and
telephone wires. To break the trans
n ission of dispatches today Is prae
th ally Impossible, thanks to Mr. Mar
coni and his co-inventors.
Do you realize that the two allies
against Germany and Austro-Hun-
Hungary, France and Russia, are
probably in constant touch every hour,
Indeed every minute, of the day and
bight?
They can talk right over Germany,
Moscow and Baris can co-operate per
fectly. Probably General Joffre and
Grand Duke Nieholaievitch know
<-aeh of them what the other's forces
are doing from hour to hour.
Balkan War Incident.
An incident of the Balkan war
shows the remarkable possibilities of
wireless. The allies bottled up Ad
rianpple, holding all roads to Constan
tinople. But in the city was a 1 1-2 k.
Marconi wireless telegraph station
of the portable type. At no time did
the station fail, and in the course of
the siege, more than 450,000 words
were transmitted to headquarters
without a hitch.
The allies attempted to stifle the
station by placing wireless outfits to
the east and west of Adrinaopie, hut
their attempt to ‘‘jam’’ ttje Turkish
signals was in vain.
Its Usefulness.
The usefulness of wireless was also
shown In the recall of certain ships at
sea at the outbreak of the present
war. One ship was brought hack af
ter she had proceeded within two
days' Journey of Kurope, and thus was
saved from the enemy.
Many small craft have been seized,
because they were at sea at the out
break of hostilities and had no wire
less. The effect of this experience
will undoubtedly be the cause of a
wide use of sir communications, as a
kind of assurance against capture by
a hostile warship.
Austria-Hungary has four Import
ant govejouent wireless stations, Ger
many seventeen, France eighteen,
twenty-eight and Great Britain sixty
eight.
Privacy.
,Mqny means are now used for in
.suring the,privacy of a wireless dis
patch. The Marconi stations are de
signed to obtain this result by chang
ing the wave length of the transmitter
at 'frequent intervals.
This change can be made in a frac
tion of a second. The operator can
shift his “tune” after every three or
tour words if he considers it necessary.
Just before the shift he sends a code
letter indieating to which wave length
he is about to change The operator
at the station receiving makes the
necessary readjustments to follow him

150 Americans Marooned
at Baden Baden
New York. —One hundred and fifty American tourists are marooned
at Baden Baden, Germany, without means of communicating with the
outside world, according to a cablegram received today by the American
embassy association from its president, E. Clarence Jones. The cable
gram says:
“Hundred fifty Americans in Baden Baden without cabls post cr
railway communication. No foreign news since August Ist. In Ger
many all post and telegrams must be in German language. Enough food
at hand. German government treats Americans very well. Americans
enjoy special privileges. Government looks after needy foreigners of all
nationalities. All German banks open but do not buy foreign checks or
credit letters, which are valueless.
American express checks only are accepted. Plenty paper money on hand
but no gold.”
