IS ACCUSED OF TRICKERY
Real Estate Agent Fl. F. johnson
the Subject Of a Snit.
He Is Said to Sell and Resell Lots 10y
False Representa- ttons-W. n.
Murray the Plaintiff.

Fulton and Edwards, as lawyers for
William A. Murray, of the Agricultural
Department, yesterday filed bill in equity
in the Supreme Court OF the District against
Miss Hannah l.. Kelly, OF No. 1863 p street
northwest, and James Madigan, for breach
OF contract and to compel them TO refund
certain moneys paid in part for certain
small lots Iu Ashland and Kelly's sub
division OF College Park, Md
The lots in question We're sold 10y Howard
F. johnson, OF No. 1916 Thirteenth street
northwest, who is Miss Kelly's sole agent
aud manager, and who Mr.. Murray accuses
of false representations and fraudulently
attempting 10 declare that his, Aurray's,
contract void, aud all the payments made
thereon, amounting to SIG, forfeited.
johnson is also accused in the bill OF
selling the same lot to several different
people and collecting from them severally
on the same lot at the same time.
The fun price of the lots in question is
S160 each, OF which $50 of the first
money on each lot is retained by John
son rs his commission, Miss Kelly taking
all the chances Of getting the remaining
$100 for the property at the rate of 81
q week.
The bill says johnson is assiduous I'm
his collections and attentions upon the
purchasers OF lots until he has collected
nearly the full amount of his commissions,
when his calls relax and then he keeps out
Of the way until the purchaser is more
than four weeks in arrears, when, accord
ing to the terms Of the contract he is
empowered 10 declare the lots and all
money paid thereon forfeited"
Murray AYERS that in the present case he
has not been in arrears, and has several
times offered the money due on his lots to
johnson, which he has persistently re-
fused to accept, under various pretexts,
until the required four weeks had elapsed.
when johnson told Murray his lots and
money were forfeited. Murray says that
Johnson also told him that one OF his lots
had been sold by him in March last to James
Madigan, of Georgeto wn, who is also made
q defendant in this case ,and Johnson de
| clares the bill, admits receiving money
| from both purchasers on the same lot at the
same time, and this was done in anticipa-
ton OF the forfeiture of the lots.
Lawyer Fulton says he has heard OF sew
eral similar cases in connection with
JohDson's dealings.
The complainant prays for an injunction
against Miss Kelly 10 restrain her from exc
cutting any deed TO the lots in question pend
| ing q settlement OF this suit. Murray wants
| his money refunded in full or the full amount
| paid, SIG, credited on one lot, in accord
ance with Mr.. Johnson's promises and agree
ment Johnson, as Miss Kelly's agent and
| manager, refuses to do either of these things,
Miss Kelly. it is alleged, has not received
any OF Murray's money, as it has all been
| retained by Johnson.

Another Of those inventions which ocoa-
sonaily startle the world is being evolved
at the modest little house, No. SIC Fourth
street northeast, the residence Of Mr..
Julius Emmner, who is celebrated as the in
ventoT of the long-distance telephone
Thenachine whichhe has under construction
is to demonstrate that thought is material,
just as is heat, light and electromagnetic
ism.
He is a firm believer in the wave theory,
and that thought produces vibrations, that
vibrations Of any kind produce results, and
lhatit is possible To reproduce and make tan
gibie any such results.
WHY NOT THOUGHT?
Sound, - he said to The Times yester-
day, sis addressed TO the ear, yet it may
be made visible, proof of which fact is
found in the phono-autograph, in which the
vibrations Of sound are made distinctly
visible, and a record OF such vibrations is
made on a sensitive plate.
Light leaves It's record in Photographic
work, and heat leaves its record in many
familiar ways. Electricity lso leaves
its record in many weI-known ways, and
why cannot thought be made TO leave an
impression or in some substance from out
OF which it can be reproduced to The eye?"
This last is the problem which Mr
Emmner has undertaken TO solve in a
practical way.
AS is wei known, MT. Emmner is not a
visionary or q speculator for specula-
tons sake, but is an ingenious scientist
,f rho fnf.
and occult forces TO practical phases.
Mr.. Emmner was asked If he would give
an idea OF the mechanical device 10y which
he proposes To produce thought impressions.
He said that it was scarcely fair TO ask
that question He is not yet protected by
patent rights, and although he is in posi-
tion Just now 10 ask for such protection,
1t viii be some time before he gives to the
world anything more than is contained in
this reference 10 his design.
CONVEY THOUGHT MECHANICALLY
The instrument is simply one in which
II is said that thought can be focused and
! concentrated on the substance employed
TO make this record.
Thus far said Mr.. Emmner, there
has been comparatively but little diff
! Guilty, but the perfection of the invention
is TO consist in conveying these impress
sions back again from the instrument to a
person or persons not the author of the
thought. For instance, AS thoughts are
recorded in the machine The problem with
me now is 10 reproduce them so that they
can be conveyed to The brain Of B or by
q purely mechanical process
There lie something akin to this idea, y
be said, in what is known as mind reading
where the thoughts OF the person whose
mind is read are transferred to the brain
or the reader, but the present process is
entirely different"
The closest comparison to the instrument
Of Mt Emmner is the graphophone, into
which the voice goes ana is so reproduced
that hespeech of the person, who talked into
| the machine, lives again and is repro
duced in material form.
Mr. Emmner is carefully guarding his
| secret, but he speaks SO enthusiastically OF
his success that he must have obtained the
most satisfactory results SO far from his
! inyestig ations.

NOT so BAD AFTER ALL.
Good Balance of Trade in Our Favo
COZ

Good Balance of Trnde in our Favor
for 1894.
The Secretary of Agriculture issued yes
terday a circular on the imports and ex-
ports OF the United States for 1893 and
1894. 1t shows that, Notwithstanding
the depression of business, exports from
the United States in 1894 were vnlued at
Ss89, ,843, 900, against Ss47,G651s4 in
1893. Three-fourths of that vast value
came from the farms and farmers of this
Republic
Great Britain and Ireland lead all other
countries in volume of trade with the
United States. The English speaking peo-
pie OF Europe bought Of the $3.50, ,543,0G0
or American exports $451 100000 worth,
and, taking the British possessions I'LL to-
gether and as one customer, they took
S523, 900, 900 worth, or nearly sixty Per
cent of the whole, during 1894
The United States imported from Great
Britain only SIO7 100000 worth of her
products in 1894, or 16.4 per cent of our
entire imports; and from all Of the British
possessions, together with the United King
dom, SITS, ,000, 600 worth, more than TWEEN
ty-seven per cent
Almost ninety per cent of the total United

REFUSE TO PROTECT LIFE
Postofice Contractors Will Not Lay
a Temporary Flooring.
superintendent Kinsey VIII Demand
That II BE Done Before Beginning
Work OH the Eighth Story.

If Thorp & Bond, the New York contrac-
tors for the city postoffice building, can
help it, the workmen viii have no protec-
tion from a recurrence of such accidents
as that which last week resulted III the
death of Charles Beach
This mich was settled yesterday, when d
letter was received from the firm refusing
to lay temporary flooring What the out
come viii be remains to be seen. The tragic
occurrence of last Friday afternoon has
thoroughly aroused the men, and they
have behind them in their demand for pro-
lection the supervising architect and Mr..
Kinsey, superintendent OF construction.
MI Kinsey wrote letter on Tuesday
last to the contractors in New York call
ing attention to the unfortunate death OF
Charles Beach, and demanded that they
take proper precautions in the future for
the safety Of the men, as required by the
plans and specifications.
When seen by a Times reporter yester
day morning he said he was very much
surprised to receive a letter from the
contractors, in which they positively re-
ses, claiming that the specifications did
not require them to lay temporary
floor for the safety OF the men at Work
on the building, and those engaged in the
work would have to assume all risks.
They characterized Mr.. Kinseys re-
quest as both absurd and unreasonable,
saying that every week there were con-
structed in New York buildings of far
greater magnitude and Importance than
the Washington Postoffice and no such
precaution was taken or even requested
MI Knsey VIII write a letter to-day,
in reply to the one received, which he VIII
submit to Supervising Architect OF the
Treasury Aiken.
Il viii not mince words with them this
time" said he, but WI dem and that the
flooring be laid at once before l viii order
work to proceed on the eighth story. As
they seem to have no regard for hum an life
and safety, by the tone of their letter, will
see if compulsory methods cannot be
brought to bear to secure imm ediate action.
THE cost of the flooring would be merely
nomiual, and l am satisfied that the con-
tractors could secure better work from the
men Ell ployed Ii they would insure them
protection. No man is going TO take any
risk when he knows his life is in danger"
Architect Aiken was seen at his office,
and while he said that he had received no
communica ton from Superin tie ndent
KinSey on the subject, he felt sure that
the specifications, which are most explicit
in requiring Messrs. Thorp & Bond, the
contractors, to provide safe aud suitable
scaffolding, would have to be lived up to.

GuituF,


Mr.. William F. Swami OF Overlook Inn,
has considerable local reputation as q guitar
player. wednesday evening hevistcd the
pretty suburban village of Garfield, d. c..
and carried his sweet toned instrument
with him. The atmosphere OF the house
becoming too torrid and oppressive for Mr..
Swami, he repaired 10 a picturesque knoll,
surrounded by stately beach trees.
Sitting with his back against one OF the
trees, he oonm6nced, to sing several pretty
melodies, thFumming accompaniments upon
she guitar The effect OF the music and
moonlight had n soothing effect upon Mr.
Swami, while the breezes sang a chorus
through the tree, tops. He soon fell into
profound slumber, and his erstwhile melo-
dies gave way TO deep ana sonorous snoring
A thief, it appears, was hiding in nearby
thicket. He had been attraCted TO the
spot no doubt by the music. When Mr.
Swami was soundly asleep the rogue crept
forward and stole the guitar. Yesterday
Mr.. Swami appeared at police headquarters
and reported the theft to Inspector Holm
