April 26 , 1903
/ LEXINGTON, Ky., -- From a little
side room at his residence in Calloway
county, near Murray, the county that,
Nathan Stubblefield is daily carrying on
conversation with his
•
•
neighbors by what he
terms wireless telephony. It appears that
Stubblefield and his fellow workers along
the same line have gone beyond Marconi one
better, although wireless telephony, until
Stubblefield's latest efforts, has not
been so practical as has wireless
telegraphy.

"Many times recently Dr. Canfield
of Lynn Grove and Story Ferguson of this
place have discussed business with me
through the medium of my wireless
telephone. On Saturday night, March 26,
quite a long talk was heard by me between
some parties one of whom was at Sandy, up
the Tennessee river about 38 miles. The
man's name was Welckin, but I did not
catch the other's name. Miss Alice Payne,
the operator at the Mayfield center, is
often heard by me and Miss Lentin at the
Murray central. We also get voices from
Farmlngton and other points. I have heard
voices that I recognized as Horace
Churchill, A. Thompson, Jesse Sexton, Dr.
Wall, Ron Keys and
others.''.

system as it stands now will transmit the
voice by water for many miles from moving
vessels with but little electric force. We
can equip all steamers, say between
Paducah and Cairo, a distance of 40 miles
with proper earth connections that
messages can be exchanged between the
steamers themselves and between them and
the land stations at will. No wire
connections are required except with the
water toro and all on each of the vessels.
bixils From my experiments last
summer on the Schuylkill River at
Philadelphia I found this to be possible."

Stubblefield thinks in near future
the wireless telephone will be used as the
weather signal, sending out the reports
from a center at Washington and that the
government will also soon find that the
development of this branch of science will
save millions of dollars in various ways.
