HOW STORY OF
CONVENTION IS
TO BE H WED
SAN FRANCICCO, May 27 (by As
sociated Press). — Telegraph com
panies operating from San Francisco
are preparing to handle virtually an
unlimited amount of press reports
P on the Democratic national conven
tion to be held here beginning June
28.
One company alone, the Western
^Uniea Telegraph Company, has an
nounced that it is completing at a
cost of $500,000 improvements in its
piMkt that will take care of 1,000,000
wor4s daily in addition to its regu
lar business. The Potal Telegraph
Cable Company is also increasing its
facilities and news agencies and as
sociations are getting ready to move
quickly an augmented “load” they
will carry over wires leased from
telephone companies.
Under the multiplex automatic sys
tem, that permits four messages to
be carried each way, eight altogether,
on one wire, the Western Union is
preparing to take care of 250,000
words of press matter for evening
papers and 750,000 for morning
papers each day, R. B. Calkins of the
general manager’s office here an
nounced. No additional wires are
being put in, only “channels” for
extra sets of automatic instruments
being made. The multiplex system
x is almost twice as fast as the Morse,
in which the message is ticked off
by hand, and the company now han
dles 65 per cent of its business by
the new method.
The company will have installed
here at the time of the convention 13
miles of pneumatic tubes to carry
messages directly into its main oper
ating room, where an intricate sys
tem of belt conveyers makes it pos
sible to get each message sent within
one minute.
With its new improvements the
9 plant here, the Western Union an
nounced, will be the most modern in
the world and the third largest in the
United States.
BRITISH WANT FUELING
STATION AT FANNING
IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC
_
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27 (by As
sociated Press).—The plan to make
Fanning island in the South Pacific
a British fueling station depends for
its success largely upon the report of
two engineers who are now investi
gating, according to the Pacific Ma
rine Review.
The island lies approximately 1,200
miles south of Honolulu, and, with
two other nearby atolls (Washington
and Christmas Islands), is the most
eastern possession of Great Britain
in the Pacific, Pitcairn and Dueie ex
cepted. Of the three British islands
of the Oceanic Sporades, Fanning
is said to offer the best natural ad
vantages, to which is added the fact
that it is a station of the Canadian- j
Australasian line of the British cable!
hoard, so that it has direct communi-j
^.cation with Vancover, and with Bris-j
bane by way of Suva and Norfolk
island.
“Questions of naval policy aside,
the creation of a fueling base at Fan
ning would result in the virtual elim
ination of Honolulu as a bunking port
for British merchantmen bound from
the Southern Orient,” says the Pa
the Panama canal to Australasia and
cific Marine Review, “although Hon
olulu or San Francisco might con
tinue to attract vessels bound to
northern Asia.”
PINEAPPLE CROP IN
HAWAII IS BIG ONE
HONOLULU, May 27 (by Assoei
. ated rPess).—The Oahu Railway &
^ Land Company will use five hundred
freight cars to haul this year’s pine
apple crop on the island of Oahu,
which, it is estimated, will reach 1S5,
000 tons, according to Harry Denison,
superintendent of the railway. The
pineapple season opened this month
and for six weeks the railway will
be working on a 24-hour-a-day sche
dule.
The estimated total crop is 1S5,000
tons. A dozen years ago, said Mr.
Dennison, when the railway Was
called upon to furnish twenty cars a
day to handle the pineapple traffic,
it was considered a heavy job.
