ASSAILS MARCONrS CLAIMS.
New York Inventor Declares the
Experiment Fraud.

Experiment ErnuH.
NEW YORK. Dec l6.-Lee DeForest.
Fh. D.. one OF the inventors of the De-
Forest-smi system Of wireless teles-
raphy. has been deeply stirred by the re-
ports OF Marconrs success in receiving
signals across the North Atlantic from
England. In Mr. DeForest's remarks It
is evident that he is quite sure that while
somebody's system is likely to accom-
plish. in time, all that Signor Marconi
seems to have accomplished already. there
is no faith to be put in Signor Marconi's
work.
Dr. DeForest is so anxious to save the
public from being ovcrsanguine rs to the
value Of Signor Marconis achievements
that he visited a number Of newspaper
Offices today in the publics interest. He
even intimates that Mr.. Tesla. with his
belief in Martian communication, Is to be
put on the same plane as that on which
he would put Marconi. and. indeed, all
others but the inventors OF the DeForest-
Smith system.
Dr. DeForest said that it was no wonder
that Signor Marconl got sparks from
line 800 feet from the ground. THE won
der is" said Dr.. DeFOrest, chat sparks
were so weak. for it is no uncommon
thing to get sparks an inch or more long
from an upright wire thus disposed to
catch atmospheric electricity"
Marconi's coherer. says DIT. DeForest. is
too delicate for practical telegraphy. and
is given to the receiving OF false and
misleading signals.
why" asks Marconi's rival. was the
prearrangcd signal merely the letter
'S'-three dots? Why was It not dot
and dash letter. like X II will be re-
mcmbered that just about year ago an
other investigator also announced the re-
ceiPt OF the letter S from sender so
remote as to make the Lizard seem in our
back yard.
These dots also set the world agog,
but telegraphlc communication with the
Martians, at rates damaging to the cable
companies. is yet in the future. At the
time of the Queens funeral Marconis
company claimed to have sent message
lS6 miles, but vessels have goSe on In
their humble way communicating at
twenty, thirty, or even sixty miles, as
though the 2OO-mile mark was reserved
for great occasions"
