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*.

• Then there came back in the same
clear tone: *
Ho Isbell Cx Dh J:SS a. m. Ha 11
rult^tf Wlr«;lei>s Company, Pa.. Saa Frau-Inco:
Tbusks. Same t« you. ISBELL.
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:

Without lofing a minute Isbell
ricked up Han Francisco again and ex
plained that a sleepy Jap in charge

necessary to adjust the engine gov

BALLOON DROPS
4,000 FEET AND
AERONAUTS LIVE
American Contestants in Inter
national Race Escape Death
as by Miracle
Huge Gas Bag Bursts, Falls
Like BulletiThen Opens
Into Parachute -
Two Occupants Dashed to Top
of House, but Escape With
Slight Injuries
BERLIN,- Oct. 11.— Bursting in
midair 4,000 feet above the earth, the
balloon Conqueror,, with its \ two
American aeronauts, racing in .the in
ternational contest today, plunged
earthward with ; lightning rapidity,
while 8,000 horror stricken spectators
waited with sickening , hearts \u25a0' for the
tragedy that seemed, inevitable. 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.
Coming close to the earth the basket
smashed into the roof of a house, but
the two men in the balloon. A. Holland
Forbes, and Augustus Post, -escaped
with but slight injuries.. -."». .;."
The race.' in which 23 balloons par
ticipated, representing Great Britain,
France Germany,^ the United States,
Switzerland, Belgium, Italy and Spain,
started at 3 o'clock this afternoon from
the suburb . of Scbmafgenborg in the
presence of 8,000 spectators.
STAnT RACC AMID CH£ERS -
Amid the strains of "America", ani
rolleys of cheers, the first balloon was
j»ent"aivay:.lt was the American-ll,'un
der command of James; C. * McCoys who
was accompanied by Lieutenant,.Vogh
mann. 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. Went up
from the people, who threw their hats
In ; the air for joy. v I'he other
were cent up after a brief delay with
out further accident. . ? ..-\u25a0.• \u25a0-.-\u25a0" :

jfxi Holland -Forbes, who: appeared to
be very little; the worse for his experi
ence,': except the shock, gave out to the
pressa thrilling account of the^ acci
dent. He said: .-"".' .. ..-.'•\u25a0' ." '.';>
We had some difficulty in getting
away, but .onee *-we ; left the ground
everything seemed , to be rigrht. We
mounted almost; perpendicularly 1 , to an
altitude of . 4,000 feet. -As I . looked at
the recording instrument -to make a
note of the altitude I' heard a peculiar
swish and said to Post: .
x "That sounds dangerous!'". ,
Immediately I ; saw that the envelope
was rapidly deflating, the gas escaping
in clouds. I threw the-appendix clear
of- the \u25a0 basket and the - ropes j and; draw
ing, my penknife, cut the cords. holding

however, that we .were falling more
rapidly than some ' of "the ejected arti

balloon was- checked, we: observed 'one

which was smashed to pieces. . but ' for

Carroll Cook, sitting upon
the superior bench of San
Francisco since 1897 and be
cause of his office called
"judge,* 1 asks the people of
San Francisco to return him
to the office upon which;his
acts have brought, public sus
picion and reproach.
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. _.
Judge Sloss. made the Injunction per
manent, but declined to. pass upon th»
title of , the incumbents "to the "office,
saying that this matter should be de
termined by quo warranto proceedings,
which'could only be brought about with
the. consent of Attorney General .Tlrey
LFord. McEnerney and McNab-Inter
posed no' objection ito "a proceeding;
which : fairly tried, /would dispose of a
question of public" Importance.

advantages... The court. In the person
