GAP TO HAWAII IS BRIDGED BY WIRELESS MEN Long Messages Exchanged Be tween Operators on Russian Hill and Oahu Island Aerograms Are Flashed 2,098 Miles and Establish Trans- Pacific Record Belief Expressed that Honolulu and Manila Will Soon Be In Communication An indistinct clicking — then -a of Morse telegraphic dots and -Wishes — all. in an unfamiliar tone^ — and finally, slowly and clearly, the letters a-1-o-h-a came, telling Law rence Malarin, night wireless oper etor on Russian hilli at 1:20 o'clock yesterday morning that San Fran cisco and Hawaii were joined in wire less telegraphic communication. Congratulatory messages followed, and for more than an hour and a half San Francisco spoke with Ku- : huku, a bleak little station on the e» treme southern shore of the island of Oahu, upon wfcict is also located Hon olulu. It meant that a mysterious elec trical force was wafting across the Pa cific, for the first time in the tistory of wireless telegraphy on tn j S CO ast, intelligent messages, covering a dis tance of 2.0&S miles. At the same time the operator in the Hawaiian Islands picked up messages from Bering sea. And the operator at Kuhuku, Arthur A. Isbell, was sending the messages on ] half power only. Malarin was aston-' ished when he learned this, and he af terward expressed the opinion that \ Hav.aii and Manila would soon be joined In wireless communication and that a more wonderful feat would be accomplished — the establishment of trans-Pacific wireless communication. A few inontLs ago the station at Kuhuku sprung Kprbut'tfie apparttis v/a? not in place until late Saturday iJiE't. Then it was that Isbell. anxious j y>> establish the new record, began JUshing out his Hawaiian grseyngs. He sent them out in all directions, hopeful that some one \u25a0would pick them up and give him that satisfaction he desired. Malarin in his lonely office on Rus sian hill was attending to the usual nightly messages that go up and down the coast; when the Jumbled sounds tempted him to drop the routine work. He listened and was 'about to give up, believing that some young experiment er about the bay was "butting in," but "Aloha" — the Hawaiian word of welcome — impressed him as strange. H*> listened on and was rewarded with mere greetings, and he hastened to reply In this wise: w «£'•-! O. K. Istwll Ha 1:25 \u25a0. m. Hawaiian VTirolew Company: Cincra'.nlition*.

Anxious to spread the good news, Isbell communicated with Balch, an operator on Barbers point, an Inter island station in the territory, giving him all t!ie details with boylike eager- j hops. Malarin continued to listen and i be distinctly heard the message flashed | by ißbell to Balch as follows: llu If bell Cx l:tr> a. m. Balrh. Bsrbrrs polat: Jest exchanged m^s »»S»» with Ph..

Two thousand " feet the balloon . had dropped, when suddenly the torn silk bag puffed out into the shape of a parachute, the swiftness of the de scent was checked, and* gyrating like a huge bird with broken wing, the great balloon swayed downward .with decreasing. velocity, and though it come to the ground with some violence, the two "aeronauts . miraculously escaped with slight. bruises.

The balloon was decorated with the stars and stripes and It sailed away to the .southeast ."at a rapid' pace, the aeronauts waving their hats: . - m A. representative, of each of the" other nations' followed the American .balloon in succession at intervals of two^min utes, the national hynin \u25a0of the -re spective countries ringing'fortlr as the ropes were cast loose. l . . The- second batch of eight balloons was" led by Forbes in the Conqueror, which was started with some difficulty owing to a gusty wind and too. much ballast. But eventually.it shot upward and reached a high altitude in an in credibly short space qf time, the basket swaying violently. Then aery of hor ror arose from the crowd. . They saw the-eilk collapse, and shouted: , "The balloon is ripping upl" Thousands who had gathered stood 'petrified; Some -women 'and men, too, fainted as they saw the balloon falling with lightning like ' rapidity. At the same time showers jof sand and \ ap purtenances of the balloon" shot down ward . with equal rapidity. Suddenly daylight^ was seen through .the enve lope, great ragged edges of the Bilk- Bhowingon either side. ; "They are killed!" went^ in a hushed whisper through the crowd.* The re mainder of 'the envelope appeared \u25a0 to take first a' triangular shapeTand then was transformed into a sort of para chute- at; the top of the net. -The prpgress of the wrecked balloon was considerably, arrested. It come down -slower . and elower, meanwhile being swept by .the >wind, far to the southeast and. finally disap peared from view, behind a: block of houses. The suspense in the crowd was terrible. - But a>few> minutes'.-.' later a telephone 'message 'was' received from Friedenau which* announced that 'the men had landed and had not been seri ously injured. %, A .great shout.

Cook talks of defamation ot his "character" as glibly as ._ or dered injunctions to protect un speakable dens of infamy- from the people's peace officers in. the performance of their sworn duty. Cook says he stands upon* his record, apparently counting ntpon the forgetfulness of the public :he ha«- wronged. It were well for Cook and for'the self-esteem of the people of San Francisco^ If all Cook's record could be forgotten. Such records will not down. Quite regardless of his bom bastic declarations, Carroll Cook, re pudiated by the bar association, will b» the last to unfold his record for, tha purpose of refreshing the public recolr lection. . A single chapter in that record In cludes.an effort on the part of Cook to prostitute his office .to the service of his friend, .Abe liuef, and his. other friend, Eugene Schmitz. then mayor, so shameless that .it drew the strongest kind, of criticism from . the judges forced into official association with Cook: the refusal of two of . them to sit with him in a qase; the withdrawal from a cause of two of the leading at torneys at the San Francisco bar, and, finally; the repudiation of Cook by tha attorney general of the state, who re fused .to permit the good name of Cali fornia to be compromised in a causa which a notoriously biased judge in sisted upon trying. Here is that chap ter in outline: MS9I RUEF • ni'XS I.VTO SXAG Abe Ruef , . Carroll Cook's friend and political sponsor, who had become the purveyor of municipal jobs upon tha accession of Schmitz to his mock may oralty, ran into a snag early In 19.02. when he attempted to peddle four places on the board of health. -Cook's effort to prostitute the courts of San Francisco to> the political purposes of Abe Auef was one of the blackest of the many spots Carroll Cook has daubed on tne judiciary. When Schmitz, at 'the command of his business agent and mentor,- Abe Ruef .announced that he had removed from the board. of^ health Drs..William son, Baum, Buckley and Lewitt, none of whose terms' had expired, -Garret McEnerney and Gavin * McNab, on be half of v - the board 'members whom Schmitz sought to oust, secured a tem porary injunction from Judge Sloes. Ruef appeared subsequently for Schmlti and his alleged. appointees. ",''.'-\u25a0. _.
