GOVERNMENT'S WIRELESS "TAPPED" BY FARMER Rural Inventor ' Intercepts Messages to and From the Capital SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE CALL. .^WASHINGTON, May lg.-t-Government officials are greatly disturbed by the fact that official and personal mes sages transmitted by wireless stations along the Atlantic seaboard are being intercepted by a Washington man, who has- established a station In his 1 home. By this private station he can receive and transmit messages with the gov ernment stations, and he claims to have communicated with Point Lorria, CaL. some weeks ago. Notwithstanding that the. expert Is known to . the local au thorities, they are powerless to act, be cause there is no law to protect ,ot}' ficlal* wireless stations during the ex change of messages. , V;" The owner of the station is a farmer.' He has . perfected an apparatus ' that compares: favorably ; with, any main talnafl' by the government. "Not only can he communicate with warships ai. sea, but he can interpret; every official message received or sent from the tional' capital.

Abe Ruet spent a busy afternoon .'yesterday in his prison rooia at Mayor ! SchmiU' ol& -• Flllmore street residence. The letters, which he dic tated to his sister, were in ansjver to the- 600 or more notes of sympathy, ad vice and friendship which he has re ceived since last Wednesday, when.ua entered the plea of guilty, in Judge Junnt's court. These .letters continue; to,, pour in. and sprinkled among .them tare numer ous telegrams from all . parts of the United States. Ruef has devoured them eagerly. ; a.nd they seem to have been as great a : factor in restoring him to -v semblance of his old health and spirit* as any other one thing. There was a great, difference between Ruef yester day and the . Ruef who sat in Judse Dunne's court a week ago. and Ruef himself candiuly attributes this change to his confession. - * "I "feel 100 per cent better." he said yesterday. "In fact,. l feel like a new man. . There's ' been a great load lifteil from my mind and that makes all tha difference in t-e world. Of course, everything isn't as pleasant as it might be yet. but then * *1 hope for the best." Ruef was taken for a long walk through the Presidio yesterday morning: by.Eliaor Blggy. Later, Attorneys A-|i and Falrall called upon him and dis cussed the general situation for a con siderable time,* the conversation turning particularly to the Schmitz trial. • The first threat" of hostility Jbetween Ruef and Ach, which was noticeable On the day the boss confessed, has blown over, and the two continue to he friends, though Ach has repeated the statement that he , blames Ruef for not having taken hU counsel into, bis confidence. "; During the afternoon '\u25a0 and evening Buef receiv«d members of • his family and others who called upon him.
