Special Dispatch to The Call Running into the door of a tene ment house, Gotshall was suddenly halted by shouts from the chauffeur. He turned to see a half-dozen men and boys endeavoring to climb Into the automobile and reach the side of his wife. The crowd about the auto mobile had evidently caught sight of the jewels worn by. Mrs. Gotshall and tried to reach- them. Shouts from Gotshall as he came running- toward the machine frightened them away, but a few of the older ones remained to bar his progress. He pushed them aside, and, jumping Into the automo bile, ordered the chauffeur to make rapid speed. The automobile was pursued by the hoodlums until it out ran them. NEW YORK, May 22. — Struck by a rock thrown by a member of an east side band, who attacked her and her husband as they rode in an auto mobile in One Hundred and Sixth street to-day, Mrs. William C.

Wile oi a Millionaire Is Critically ' Injured, HOODLUMS ATTACK AS AUTO CAR DISCARDED WIFE FIRES FATAL SHOT Dr. -Bucklin holds that it takes six years to tell- whether the cure is com plete or not. Dr. Bucklin has undertaken a paper to be read before the County Medical Society next fall, to give pro fessors the benefit of his researches. He does not claim absolutely that he has discovered a "cure." He does profess that his operation has bene fited nineteen cases of advanced tuberculosis. One operated upon In 1902 had had twenty-five hemorrhages and seemed to be near death's door. After the operation, -which "raised hi3 altitude 5.4 miles." his bronchitis ceased In a Week, and in five months he had gained twenty-two pounds. -\EW YORK, May 22. — Dr. Charles Aubrey Bucklin of this city has a new cure for consumption. His tuber culosis patients stay in New York, yet they breathe the atmosphere of the Rocky Mountain plateaus and gain weight. Dr. Bucklin claims that all that is necessary is to have the prominent lower turbinated bones removed. They are close to the outer surface of each of the nostrils. The turbinated bone Is about one and a half inches long and may be as thin as a lead pencil. Taking out the bone Increases the faculty of breathing. The bones are removed with a saw. The operation is nearly painless and the wound heals quickly. The con sumptive begins to take on weight almost immediately. Dr. Bucklin explains the theory of this operation by means of a machine called the respirometer, which meas ures the relative change In altitude ef fected by the operation. He cites the oases of several patients cured, or. as he says, "apparently on the road to a complete cure," through this simple operation. Special Dispatch to The CalL telegraphy on this coast has ! proved to be a complete success as was i "cemor.srrated by the transmission of j messages between the station on the j top at Yerba Buer.a Island and the i steamer Solace when the vessel was \ Ksventy^-dx miles cut at sea. The r.avy transport Solace sailed from port Saturday morning en route to the Ori t Dtl She -w as fully equipped with the system. From the moment j-he leit the heads she commenced send ing telegraphs to the island. The com . mnnlotiOB b«twe«o the two points was absolutely perfect. At 8 o'clock in the evening the tk-iace sent the following I •jjcstjon to the island: "Will ,. .you i kindly give us the result of the base- j ball score of the game played to-day on the lilar.d between the navy ap prentices and the commercial nine-" The lolloping answer was immediately j sent back and was understood and ac knowledged by the Solace: "The com mercial ream won by a. score. of 6 to 4." • At 9 o'clock Commander Bull of the Solace sent the following communica tion to Admiral William H. Whiting. ' corrmandant at the island: "We are now seventy-six miles from the Golden Gate. We have communicated suc cetafuUy with Farallone Islands. We are using full power and can hardly hear you. Good-by." ADMIRAL WHITING SATISFIED. Admiral' Whiting, who had charge of the 'construction of the station at Yerba liuena, is greatly pleased at the suc cess of the new invention. It has taken sonie time to construct the station, but j it tiiig been in good working order for i tHe last two weeks. Mare Island has I been • very frequently communicated ! "-with. Since it commenced operations • ft has never been closed night or day. ' ar.d an operator is always there ready I lo receive communications either from * points about the bay or from the deep- i sta-guing vessels. Admiral Whiting, ! in .speaking of the result cr the experi- i nrat, said: Tt # oan be readily understood that I j am greatly pleased at the magnificent j -. results of this trial. It has exceeded anything that has heretofore taken j place tjn the Pacific Coast. The com- j munication was distinct, and the regis- j tratior.s were absolutely perfect- There | * v.an not the slightest trouoie in under- j •fcta-njiing the communications. The ma- j <)iine we are using is the Slaby-Arco. •With thts instrument, which has been greatly improved since the Navy De- j paftment took hold of it, we can send i rijspatches to and communicate with i any system of instruments used in j -wireless telegraphy. This is where we I have the advantage over the Marconi j machine.' The greatest distance that ' baa yet been observed in this country en the Atlantic Coast is 112 miles. The me'ssage was sent out from Navesink no some vessel out at sea- The Xan tucket lightship has been able to com municate with a vessel at sea at a dis tance o-f 100 miles. If we could have a station^ somewhere at Point Bonita, Vith the instruments we are now using, »e would not have the slightest diffi culty in communicating with a vessel Stf miles off this coast.
