Wireless Station at Wil-
son's Point Proving a
Great Success—Operator
Melviiili Tells of the Work-
ing of the System
The wireless station at Wilson's
Point has proved such a gratifying suc-
cess to the management of the system
that plans for a first class modern sta-
tion building have been gotten out.
and the erection of it will begin very
shortly. .
The new structure will be fitted with
the latest appliances known for the re-
ceiving and transmission of wireless
messages. It will be built within a
short distance of the present small
temporary office, In addition to the
office, living apartments will be fitted
up in the building. The Wilson Pojnt
station has become one of the most im-
portant wireless stations along the
Sound shore. Messages are received
here from the steamers and from this
point go about the country by means
of the land telegraph.
The quarters now in use are very
cramped, and it can be readily seen
that they were not built to be used for
any length of time. though an addition
léas been built on the original little of-
cc. ‘
‘i he new pole. recently erected, has
_ not yet been connected up. The ori-
ginal pole placed on the top of a tree
is still utilized.
Last night when a Sentinel reporter
visited the station, Operator William
J. Mulvlhill was in communication
with he Sound steamer Plymouth,
which as then off New Haven. The
apparatus was working beautifully, and
the dots and dashes of the Morse code
came1 in "as clear as a bell." Mr. Mul-
vihill has many calls from people who
have learned of the existence of'the
station and are interested in its mys-
teries. He is a gracious host, and the
superficial working of the mechanism
is allowed to be ‘ylewed by all.
The most spectacular feature of op-
erating the device occurs when a mes-
sage Is being sent out. Each time the
“key" of the “sender” is pressed 'down,
great sparks of electricity can be seen
jumping between two large ball shaped
brass points with a loud cracking
noise, which is almost deafening to the
uninitiated. _
,_ Visitors have to take the receiving
-of a message for granted, for when
one is coming in nothing can be heard.
The opmator takes the message
through an apparatus adjusted over
the head and cars, similar to receivers
worn by operators in a telephone ex-
change. .
In connection with one of his visi-
tors Mr. Mulvihill tells a good story.
A few days ago a bright looking young
fellow appeared and from his conver-
satlon it soon became apparent that he
was very skeptical over the possibili-
ties of the wireless telegraph. He gaz-
ed at the various and rather bewilder-
ing array of instruments. and finally
on the outside of the little building,
discovered wires which ran down into
the water.
“I thought there was some fake
about this," he finally ventured to the
genial operator, “You can't fool me."
I just saw the wires running down
there into the water." Mr. Mulvihill
surveyed his cool proposition for a
moment andlwas taken aback some
what by the positive assurance of his
visitor, who evidently thought that he
had unraveled another gigantic fake,
perhaps on the Keeley motor plan. The
operator immediately \vas aware that
to argue the principles of wireless tel-
egraphy to his visitor was entirely
useless and casually replied in a most
matter of fact tone, “Yes. you are
right, those wires you saw run out into
the Sound, and all of the steamers
with this apparatus aboard have grap-
pling hooks and pick wires up and
communicate here at any time they
wish.” During the recital Mr. Mulvl-
hill failed to crack a smile, and the
visitor went away satisfied that he had
accomplished considerable by discov-
ering a fake, and that he had at last
been enlightened with the truth by the
operator, who had found that further
concealment was useless. .
The wires he had seen projecting in
to the water are what are known as
“ground wires" and extend out a hum-
of feet. As wateris considered
the best conductor they are placed
there, instead of merely being sunk in-
to the earth. as is necessary an inland
telegraph llnes.

Atlantic Yacht Club Craft Has Red
balls and Other Sensational
Features.
The most novel article in the way
of a sailing yacht seen in the local
waters this season dropped into the
anchorage of life Norwalk Yacht Club
yesterday afternoon. The much dis
cussed was the big raceabout "Pup",
flying the colors of the Atlantic Yacht
Club. '
The feature which made her the cy-
noaure of all eyes at the shore. was
her set of fiery red sails, consisting of
jib and mainsail. When she was first
sighted making in here, some of the
members of the Yacht Club couldn‘t
believe their eyes and said one mem-
ber last evening. “When I saw her
comin I thought I had ’em."
0n ward the “Pup" were a party of
three cruisers. Messrs Carle, Baird and
Lapthorne. They made the anchorage
and went ashore at the club house.
where they were entertained and en-
tertained their hosts with the story
of their peculiar sails and their cruise,
The visiting yachtsmen spent the.
.night on board their well marked ves-
sel. Mr. Lapthorne is a member of the
famous English sail making firm of
Betsey, who fitted out the cup chal-
lenger Shamrock and is manager of
the City island, New York, branch.
While sailing about the Norwalk ls»
lands. the cruiser ran aground on the
sand on the Knob side of Tavern is
land but although the tide was low,
She was gotten off quite easily.
. Sail was set against this morning
and the trip continued.
Hartford Contractors ,

Trouble With the Macons and Carpen-
ters 8cttled,‘and Work on Con-
tracts WIII be Rcsumed.
HARTFORD, Aug, 25.~—The masons
and carpenters who had been idle for
a number of days because of a strike
declared against several contractors,
who, as members of the Master Build-
ers' Association, undertook to support
Charles ll. Andrus, a master mason.
who had had a disagreement with the
union's walking delegate. George W.
Butler, returned to work today under
the terms of a settlement made last
night.
Neither side will stat poaitively the
terms of the agreemen but. it is ad-
mitted by the contractors that they
acquiesced to every demand of the an
ion rather than prelong the trouble and
large contracts. The union demanded
that all strikers be taken back to work
without discrimination, that the con-
tractors shduid not establish a black
list, and that walking delegate Sutler
should be paid 810. The money was
paid to Butler at last night’s confer
ence, and he offered to tear up the bill
to emphasize the fact that it was not
the, matter of money for which the
union contended, but ‘a principle. But—
ler was told that is was not necessary
to destroy the bill. This strike, which
involved more than 500 then in the
building trades, started from a very
small matter. Butler. who is a mason,
was discharged by Contractor Andrus
because there was nething for him to
do, Butler claimed 75 cents more than
the wages given him as compensation
for time taken by the contractor in
bringing to him his wages. as Butler
had refused to go to the firm's office
for the amount due him. The bill of
75 cents Major Andrus would not pay,
and this bill grew to 410 during the
strike. The $10 bill via; handed to
Butler llundated the bill.

Foul Ping
James Webb lies been
with the Death of Mrs.’
Kate liubio. and Coroner
Union will hold an Inquest
Coroner Charles Doten will held an
inquest this afternoon or tomorrow in
the case of Mrs. Kate llubia who met
her death by drowning, Sunday night.
in the Norwalk river. .
Yesterday afternoon James Webb
was arrested in connection with the
case and will be held until after the
investigation is over. The belief that
Mrs, liubia met her death by foul
play has been growing since the body
was found and there is considerable
evidence to support this view.
The woman was in the first place be-
lieved to have had some money, which
commission of a crime.
All the facts in connection with the
Cliff“ are very suspicious. The fact
that the woman‘s dress which was
fouml on the edge of the wharf after
her body had been recovered from the
water was rather strange.
She was seem in the company of
three men whose stories do not agree
in all polnls as told to the police.
Webb showed a great deal of hesitancy
in getting near the police and it was
not until after it was formally an-
nounced yesterday that Medical Ex-
aminer Huntington had found “death
due to accidental drowning“ that they
were enabled to get hold of him at
all as he kept out of the way. As soon
as he was found, hovever. he was giv-
on a berth at police beadriuarters and
a strict watch is being kept on him.
Or, Huntington and the police are
rather reticent about what story Webb
had told but Dr. Huntington stated this
morning that his story was a rather
strange one. He stated that he went
home at went to bed at 10 o'clock
Sunday night. The fact. is, however.
that the people where he lives bad to
let him in at three o‘clock Monday
morning, some time after the woman
must have been drowned judging from
the appearance of the corpse, There
are other weak spots in his story and
he is very nervous when questioned.
it is understood that the night
watchman on the steamer Martha's
Vineyard possesses some evidence in
the case as his attention was attracted
to the spot where. Mrs. Bubls‘s skirt
was later found. He. walked the length
of the boat with his lantern and look-
ed over the side of the boat.
Another ‘man, it is rumored, heard
lolid words used, which from their na-
ture indicated that violence was used
toward someone. .At the time it was
believed to have been just a drunken
squabble, and no attention was paid
to it.
There are several other witnesses
whose testimony supports in a measure
the idea that Mrs. Bubia met her death
by foul play.
Coroner Dutch is in New York at
present, and It is not known whether
he will return today or tomorrow. As
soon as he does, however, the inquest
will be held, and Webb will be put
through a far more rigid exaniina-
tion than he has yet been subjected
to by Dr. Huntington and the police.
Frank Youngs, of East Norwalk, who
recovered Mrs, llubi‘a‘s hat and satch-
el containing papers of a private na—
ture will be called as a witness.
Thomas Burns and James Murphy will
also be examined together with some
of the crew of the Martha‘s Vineyard.
it is believed that when the facts come
out that new evidence of an important
nature may be gleaned from the stories
of these men. Burns and Murphy, to-
gether with Webb. were with Mrs. Bu-
bia before her death, but no arrest
has been made except in the case of
Webb. ,
