I would like to see the workings of the

not the time to go there. There is every
reason in the world why we should have
a wireless system of telegraphy at the
entrance to our bay. The prevalence of
fogs here Is but one argument in favor of
the plant. News of the arrival of steam

BIG ADVANTAGE, .
TO COMMUNITY
Sound travels at the rate of 1100 feet
per second, while the Hertzian waves of
the wireless telegraphy flash through
space at the enormous speed- of 192,000
miles per second. A comparison of the
two -rates of speed shows that Instant
warning could be' given to an. Incoming
ship In the event of the . vessel approach-
Ing danger, while in the precious seconds
that might be required for the- warning
of a bell or whistle to reach those on
board ship she might meet her doom.
Local Forecast Official Alexander Mc-
Adle was Jubilant yesterday when he re
ceived the message from Chief Moore • an
nouncing that San Francisco is' to have a
system of wireless telegraphy between
the city and the Farallones. -v
With a system of wireless telegraphy es
tablished at the Farallones, Point Lobos
and Point Reyes, an Incoming vessel
could keep posted as to her exact posi
tion from time to time, >-.•.'; . .
Pilot Jordan, who was in charge of tKe
Rio when she struck the rocks, testified
at the subsequent investigation that he
"tried .to get an echo from Point Diablo
after hearing the whistle of Point Bonita
on his beam." The atmospheric condi
tions that existed when the Rio met with
disaster may have so affected the sounds
of warning whistles that the, pilot was
confounded and led out of his course.
The prevalence of fog at the entrance
to San Francisco Bay renders It impera
tive that a system of rapid communica
tion be established between incoming
vessels and the city. It was clearly de
monstrated in the Investigation of the
loss of . the Rio that desperate chances
were taken by captains and pilots in
bringing their ships into this port. When
the fog obscured the .warning lights re
liance was placed on the fog whistles or
echoes secured from the • shore -after
sounding the steamer's siren. It is well
known that sound is affected- by atmos
pheric conditions in the same manner
that light is.

was from Major Flood Page of the Mar

Company for its enterprise and wishing it
good luck. It read as follows:

was unbounded.'^ ¦ .' ','vj , :
During ther; run : from Liverpool to

FIRST MESSAGE -
SENT FROM LUCANIA
No sooner the Lucania got fairly under
way than a-ting-a-ling of the ' telephone
caused the passengers to prick up their
ears. For once, at least, everybody aboard
forgDt all about unpacking trunks, ' set
tling themselves in staterooms and secur
ing good places at the table. -
. Evrybody, or nearly everybody, was on
decL listening to the telephone, just as if
they had never heard anything of the
kind before. Following the direction
whence the sound'eame, everybody's gaze
was directed toward the bridge, where
the captaints and officers' quarters are lo
cated. *
' The tinkling telephone bell told the news
that ' the vessel, although, already under
full steam, was yet in. communication
with the shore by wireless telegraphy.
The passengers had'not yet seen the little
souvenir cards on the tables beside the
menu cards, .telling the coast stations for
ship communication by telegraph at some
ten different places, so that the passengers
could send telegrams on shore, and receive
replies en voyage. . _:

•From\Lon.don, W. B.. Hardy, (formerly
the guardian of Miss 'Frankie Brown, .the
dashing- young woman; who made -herself
world wide notoriety ten years ago by. her
eccentricities, ;recerV^d the ¦' news to-day
that she is living- almost in poverty. HavJ.

that .was left .her by her .father, she is
struggling..hard..in - an endeavor to keep
the wolf from the door, supporting her
self and three children'by keeping. a lodg
ingr-house in an' obscure part of London. '
" Frankie Brown first achieved notoriety
when ! j she ••¦ married '; Frank • McKee, . ¦'•' a
printer, in order that she might become a
widow. She was "the daughter of - Abrani
C. Brown,' a wealthy Oaklunder. who died
somewhere 'along ... in! the '*90's, leaving
$120,000 to be divided among Frankie and
two- boys, Frederick and Harry Brown:
W. B. Hardy was named* as her guardian.-
Frankie started in immediately to spend j
her patrimony. Naturally 7 of a willful and
generous disposition she exceeded- all
bounds when the parental . restraint was
removed by death. She bought, the .most
expensive trousseau that money could:, buy;
including a sealskin coat that, came down
to her knees. She wore all kinds of jewel- '
ry and ; was altogether attractive. Being
a woman, of more than ordinary beauty
she would I have ,been attractive . without
the additional ornamentation. She was
tall and slender and of the blonde type
of beauty.
The whim to see the sights of 'Europe
seized Frankie after she had seen every
thing "commonplace in California, but she
did not want to travel -without a chap
eron. How to do Europe without a chap
eron was to even her acute mind, whieh
saw a way out of every difficulty, some
thing of a Gordiari knot. She confided this
dilemma to one R. M. Apgar, clerk in a
San • Francisco Police Court. He solved
that problem for her. -
Apgar I told Miss Frankie- that a friend
of his, Frank McKee, a printer, was dying
of consumption in Oakland, and he sug
gested to her that she marry him so that
she could become a widow. Once a widow
she could go where she pleased.
. Frankie thought it was a capital Idea
and she -acquiesced. Apgar acted as the
go-between and perfected the arrange
ments. McKee agreed to. marry Miss
Frankie if she would undertake to pay
all his doctors' bills during, his lifetime
and his funeral expenses after death.
After the couple were married Frankie
went East, probably to escape the noto
riety her acts brought upon her. McKee
lingered for a year after the wedding.
When he died Frankie came back to Cali
fornia and attended the funeral. She kept
'her word about the expenses and the fu
neral is said to have cost her $1000. -
While she was touring Kuropeas Mrs.
Frankie McKee, widow, she met and fell
desperately in -love with, Arthur. Brans
comb, an actor. He had a wife, and two
children and the widow was disappointed.
When she recovered she wore a bright red
dress. In Hyde Park, and the .news went
all over the world. ,. ... : — /'. •

The jury was out all night.
Sentence was. postponed until next Fri
day,; v/hen steps vrill toe taken to bring
the 'matter before the Supreme Court.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the jury
was called into court 'and the foreman,
Thomas Johnson, said the members could

was as> to a question- of fact, and he
thought a unarimotis verdict could not be

advise them on a question of fact, but if
they wanted any information : on a ques
tion of law he could advise them. He said
it was not hia desire to inconvenience
them, but he would not feel justified in
discharging them, 1 and ordered them back.

that he would return at 1:30 o'clock. He

replied, ''We have."
"Gentlemen d the jury, what is your
verdict?" asked the Judge, and the fore
man replied: "We find ;the defendant
guilty as charged In the indictment."
The defendant did not move a muscle,
but. whispered to his attorney, who asked
that the jury be polled. Each gave an
"aye" to the question asked, and by con
sent sentence was postponed till next Fri
day. On the same day the charge of for
