COURT DOINGS
AT CORDOVA
S«it Against Former Marshal Being
Tried Today—After Diggs'* Bonds
men to Recover Funds.
The district court today is hearing
the case of E. Lee Thinius vs. H. P.
Sullivan for damages. The former
marshal is protected by bonds and is
not effected in any way by the out
come of the suit, which grows out of
actions in attachment proceedings.
Tomorrow the court will hear the
case of the government against Jos.
Diggs, the former Cordova postmas
ter, and his two bondsmen, E. L.
Whittemore and William Little. The
government demands that the bonds
men make good the alleged shortage
in funds at the Cordova postoffice.
The trial of the Chisana mining
cases will be set for trial when At-'
torney Maurice Leehy, of Seattle,
reaches Cordova. Mr. Leehy is a pas
senger north on the Alameda.
DOG BUTCHERS REDUCING
BERLIN CANINE POPULATION
|
BERLIN, March 4.—Dog butchers
and dog taxes are rapidly reducing |
the dogs in Berlin according to a re- j
port issued. In 1909 Berlin collected
$7.50 tax on each of 39,926 dogs; in
1910 36,621; in 1911 35,560 and the!
twelve months just ending the dogs,
have decreased to 34,443. This is a
loss of about $35,000 in taxes as ex ^
plained in the report.
There are 6,740 (logs in me ray
who enjoy freedom of taxation. The
list is headed by 80 dogs owned by
the Kaiser, including all the dogs of i
the foreign Embassies and legations j
and 3,723 watch dogs, who are de-,
dared free of taxes because they add
to the safety and security of the city.
WIRELESS LIGHTING
AT 6-MILE RANGE
(Continued from page 1.)
plied the bulb six miles away was
lighted and remained alight as long
as the power was kept on.
This experiment, Mr. -Marconi
hopes, may be the forerunner of the |
use of wireless power for lighting and :
heating houses.
"At present,” he said, “the first call
is to push on with wireless telephony.
I am now aiming particularly at ob
taining a distinctly audible message,
which is really more valuable than
‘spectacular’ calls over long distances.
I have been able to communicate quite
easily and clearly at 100 miles dis
tance, using ordinary receivers and
apparatus very much like the usual
telephone. The difficulty lies with
the transmitter, which is very heavy j
and needs two men to carry it.”
J. B. Mcllougall came up from the |
Cliff last night. I
