to send it's representatives to New
\ York and demonstrate it's apparatus
which was done: subsequently, the ex-
perts and brokers came over to Phila.
delphia, made a thorough test and pro.
nounced the workings Of the system
satisfactory, and far superior to Mar
coni's. They sent and received as
| high as forty words per minute, the
copies Of which are still in this com
pany's possession. They %auded this
company's system to the skies" at the
time This company then broke OH ne
gotiations for a higher price, and the
zeal was called off. NOW THE HER
AID HAS NOT MONEY ENOUGH TO
! PURCHASE 1T. This is probably the
real reason why the Herald abused
and libelled the American Company
and lauds the Foreigner" Marconi;
and possibly 1t is the same Clique
the members OF which are endeaYoring
to unload the inferior MarcOni system
on the Government, and by the Ameri-
can Companys reporting successfully
and correctly the yacht races, and in
! terfering with their dispatches so that
| they could not receive correct and COM
| plete messages while II was operating
their plans were spoiled, and thus the
American Company incurred the ami
mostly of its RIVALS, the Herald
Marconi-London Combination. This Is
the real reason why the Herald vents
it's spleen upon it and prints mislead-
| ing statements. The Herald has had
l ha 60 rsg
but hasn't done anything yet, but to
exploit him as much as possible. The
American Company desires to say to
the public DON'T BE DECEIVED by
It's jealous and envious rivals, who
even though they own and control GER
! tain newspapers, cannot combat facts
and this company's superior system
the result Of American ingenuity and
brains.
Concerning the Herald-Marcon-Asso.
Gated Press controversy with this COM
pany during and following the yacht
races (September 26 to October A. this
company unQualihedly asserts that its
system ALONE successfully reported
the complete races, much to the cha
grin of its foreign rivals who were
discounted by our success and de-
moralzed by their utter inability to
cope with the merits of the superior
American COmpany's system. From
all sources obtainable, we understand
the Herald MarConi-AssOCiated Press
combination used carrier pigeons, wig
wagging by flags, and fast steam tugs
as dispatch boats for carrying their
wireless news ashore, so you can see
the "sour grapes" Of the Herald at
tached to their malicious statement.
The New York Herald abuses and Ii

from receiving correct wireless mes
sages, during the yacht races 1t

them. The Electrical World and En-
gineer," I'm their issue Of October l2.
states that we placed the others "hors
du combat"
The whole basis Of attack Of the en-
tire combination of millionaire An
glo-Americans" is inspired by envy and
jealousy and we can refute their
charges and substantiate our claims
before the intelligent American public
by afIidavits and reliable witnesses.
In order to prove to the general pub
! lie. the veracity of this company's
claims. and the falsity of its rivals
statements. the American Company is
sues the following challenge;
100000 CHALLENGE.
The American Wireless Telephone
and Telegraph Company will sail over
the same course Of yacht races and
even further using the same instru-
ments and code, while our rivals, the
Herald-Marconi combination shall use
the same instruments and code which
were used at the yacht races, and If
the American Company sends in their
dispatches to the station, the Herald
Marconi combination shall pay to Dr.
G. p. Gehring, of the American Com
pany 100000 And IL they do not sue
ceed in sending their dispatches, DR..
G. p. Gehring, OF the American Com
pany will forfeit $4,000. Provided,
that the successful contestant shall
donate the $4,000 won from its rival
to the Mutual Charities of the Cities
Of New York and Philadelphia; or that
the sum named be placed in the hands
of the respective mayors Of each city,
for equal distribution to the poor.
Both systems are to be used stimuli
taneously, same as in the yacht races
which will prove that Marconi will not
get his dispatches, even as the Her
aid SAYS he did NOT during the yacht
racesof 1901 and, further, if the Ameri-
can Company succeeds in sending its
dispatches, the Herald shall pay to the
American Wireless Telephone and Tele-
graph Company 100000 exemplary
damages for its malicious and libelous
statements. DR.. G. P. Gehring's S10,-
600 will be deposited in any bank
agreed upon, Immediately upon noti-
ication Of the acceptance Of this chal-
lenge, as the guarantee of good faith on
the part Of the American Company.
Our rivals, the Herald combination is
to make a similar deposit within three
days from date, in the same bank; the
tests to take place within ten days
from date Of acceptance.
Much has been published by the Her
aid and its correspondents regarding
the Great CD Marconi Triumps, and
with much glee about the success Of
the English Marconi System in the
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. Read the fol-
lowing letter and judge for yourself:
