II B HON IS RAISED Paris, Aug. 15. Another step in the plan to moor the new world along side the old" has been taken here by I he opening of the great French wire less station at Saint-Assise. This is described as the biggest wireless sta tion in the world, and has a capacity, its builders say, of 1,000,000 words a day. Messages have already been sent at the rate of 80 words a minute with perfect clearness, and when the equipment is completed it will be pos sible to send five or six messages simultaneously, with a total output cf 600 words a minute. Saint-Assise, which in future will carry the bulk of wireless communica- i tion between France and America, is worked from the center of Paris by meanh of a long-distance control sys tem. The central office near the Paris Stock Exchange, by means of six re- j ceiving centers in the suburbs, picks up messages destined for transmis sion from Saint-Assise and automat ically passes them on across the At lantic. This station is 35 times as power ful as the Ejffel Tower station. In addition to messages sent to New York, direct communication has al leady been established with Argen tina n nd China, and when the post is completely equipped it will be clearly i heard in the remotest recesses ot laska and the southern extremi ties of South America. The French constructors of the plant say the sys tem used is several years in advance of that of the United States or of Germany. The wire are supported on seven pylons each 820 feet high.

Another chapter in the administration of Lee M. Russel, governor of Mississippi, is expected to be written at the term of the Hinds county circuit court, which meets Monday, with the hearing of a suit for $100,000 damages filed . by Miss Frances Cleveland Birkhead, of New Orleans, La., stenographer andt lormer secretary to Mr-. Kusseli, cnarg ing the governor with seduction; breach ot promise and responsibility for a criminal operation. The charges made by Miss Birkhead thus far have resulted in a legislative investigation of allegations mad-by Mr. -Russell-that the suit was inspired by agents of , what he termed "out lawed" fire insurance concerns; trans fer of the suit from the federal court here in which it originally was filed to the state courts when attorneys for Governor Russell challenged the jurisdiction of that federal court,, and a recent re-filing of the suit in' the United States district court at Ox ford, the governor's home. . . . As the case now stands it is pending, on the dockets of both the Hinds coun ty court here and the federal court for the northern district of Mississippi at Oxford. - Miss Birkhead charges in,. her com plaint that she was betrayed while act-t ing as a stenographer at the state capital, assigned to the office of Mr, I IVll. Russell, then lientenant-governor; that sne was pioimseu mat im. auweu would ODiam a divorce ana marry ntu and that subsequently she went to Memphis at, his instigation and that an operation performed there had re sulted in a permanent injury. Governor Russell has vigorously de nied all the allegations made by Miss Birkhead; charged that an attempt had been made to "blackmail" him; declared that the suit was fostered by outside influences and that the com plaint was filed at the particular time was, etrly this year, in an effort to discredit . him before the . legislature, then in session. The legislative inquiry, which also investigated-charges made by the gov ernor that certain fire insurance in terests, was maintaining a "pernicious" lobby in Jackson in the interest of pending legislation, resulted in a com mittee finding which declared the gov ernor's allegations not proven. The committee was named by the lower branch of the state assembly in res ponse to a request made by Mr. Rus sell after a proposal to cite him be fore the bar of the senate in impeach ment proceedings based on the alle gations made by Miss Birkhead had been voted down. Governor Russell did not appear before the committee but submitted in writing- his charges and outlined circumstances on which, he explained, he based the allegations. A request that he be permitted to have a representative present at the hearings to cross-examine witnesses was denied by the committee. Governor Russell has charged that alleged animus against him on the part of certain fire insurance concerns was due to the filing of anti-trust pro ceedings asking penalties aggregat ing more than 8,000,000. A wholesale withdrawal of "foreign" companies from Mississippi followed as chancery court ruling in favor of the state reve nue agent who brought the suit. The case now is awaiting. a decision by the state supreme court. Dismissal of Miss Birkhead's origi nal petition in the federal court for) the Jackson district was on the grounds ! that Jackson was merely the official residence of the governor, and that such proceedings should have been brought at Oxford, in another federal court district where Mr. Russell main tains his permanent residence. Imme diately after this ruling, the suit was transferred to the state court but was re-filed last month in the federal court at Oxford and service obtained on the governor when he went there to vote in the democratic senatorial primary August 15.5 Hearing of the suit in the Oxford federal court has been tentatively set for the December term.
