The following afternoon, September
o. Mr.. Upperman Of the Associa ted |
Press office called up the doctor and .
wanted to alter the agreement made. |
The doctor would not have it and F.
stated that If the second proposition /
made by them on September 26 was
not accepted by the Associated Press, /
the doctor would call the agreement on
and have bulletins from the American
dispatch boat sent every three minutes
as his papers requested him; and by
thus sending dispatches continually,
prevent Marconi from receiving any
thing whatsoever from his boat, as they
had already found out on September
2G. the first day Of the race. Doctor
said. "Good.bv," when Mr.. Upperman
shouted. Hold on. I viii agree to IL, .

us yours. we pay for ours and you for
yours" Doctor said, 'All right, ] win

nothing else will do and I will keep my
agreement provided. however, that the
Associated Press will publish In all the
papers that they will report the yacht
races by the Marconi Company, Of
London, England, and the American
Wireless Telephone and Telegraph
Company, of Philadelphia The doc

Doctor said. "I don't know Mr.. Stone,

him what we agreed on for tomorrow's
race. Good-by.'
That evening the doctor called Mr.. Up
