SEARCHLIGHT PHONE
SYSTEM THE LATEST

| ceiving appa ratus to point on the op-
pcsite bank about half a mile away
| When all was in readiness the current
was turned on, and after some little trou-
bic the other end of the line was To-
Gated. Then followed the tests, which fur
nish food for conjecture concerning the
possibilities q the invention as regards
| night communication at sea. between
lighthouses and ships. or between two
vessels. or between a balloon and the
earth in time of war or between two
dotachments Of troops operating in an
enemy's country.
Conversation Was One Sided.
The conversation was one-sided, the
boat containing the receiving apparatus
having no means of sending return mes
sages. The inventor claims, however,
that in perfccting his invention he will
combine a transmitting apparatus with
the receiver thus utilizing one shaft of
light or single wire. as II were, as in
modern methods of telephony. During the
test about $50 messages were sent over the
luminous wire at varying distances.
The most difficult obstacle overcome by
the inventor in achieving the remarkable
results outlined above however. was in
enough to record the delicate pulsations
of the heat waves. With the perfection of
his apparatus he believes that messages
can be sent along a searchlight beam as
far as the light itself can be projected
and the rays of the beam paralleled and
focused upon the ''sensitizer" connected
with the receiving apparatus.
"Sensitizer" Principle of Apparatus.
Patents for the invention have not yet
been applied for, the inventor wishing to
further perfect his apparatus before filing
on portions of the mechanism. The prin-
ciple of the apparatus is the ''sensitizer"
which increases the intensity of the pull
sation of the heat waves and consequent
ly their effect upon the receiver, and an
arrangement of lenses for paralleling the
light rays and focusing them upon the
sensitizer
The searchlight used Friday night was a
small one compared to those in operation
upon modern ships of war and in light
houses and signal stations, and the in
ventor claims that with perfected ap-
paratus and increased candle power con-
versations can be held over the wireless
wire of light for a distance OF three
miles or more, depending upon the eleva-
tion of the apparatus in relation to the
earth curves, the degree of perfection 10
which the sensitizer can be brought and
the delicacy OF the adjustment of the
transmitting apparatus.

Foss, for the Republicans. and Messrs.
Wheeler and Meyer, for the Democrats,
made addresses laudatory Of Secretary
Longs administration of the affairs OF
the navy, and expressed their regret at
his coming retirement to private life.
The estimates of the Secretary of the
Navy were about SOS. 900 900. but the COM
mittee has made a deep cut and the bill
will probably carry not more than
SIC, 900. 900. This may be increased by the
House, however. The bill will be reported
to the House the first of this week.

UNABLE TO SELECT
Site FOR CHURCH
Division of Sentiment in
Foundry Conference.
PASTOR MAINTAINS SILENCE
Situation the Result of a Desire on the
Part of Some of the Members to Con-
solidate With St. Paul's Church-Final
Action to Be Taken Tuesday.

There is a division of sentiment among
the members OF the conference of the
Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church re-
specting the selection of site for Il new
church building to take the place of the
one recently vacated at Fourteenth and
Streets northwest, which is being razed
to make room for a modern office build
ing.
The division Of sentiment is the result
Of a number Of the members contending
that the best solution of the problem is
for the congregation to consolidate with
ST. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church and
erect a new church building north of n
Street that will be large enough for the
consolidated churches, the organization to
be known as the Foundry Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
Argument for Consolidation.
r The argument is advanced that as the
congregation of st. Paul's is made up to
a large extent of young people the con-
solidation can only result in giving a
fresh impetus to the affairs of Foundry
Church, and aid the church materially in
carrying on its extensive mission work.
Those opposed to the consolidation are
anxious that site be selected for the
new church building south of n Street,
near 10 the site of the old church
building as possible, and that con-
solidation be effected, as it would result
in the Foundry Church losing its iden-
tity.
Pastor of Foundry Church Silent.
Rev. DR.. Luther B. Wilson, the pastor
of Foundry Church. was seen last even
ing, but declined to discuss the situs: :ion.
pending the result of an adjourned meet
ing of the quarterly conference. to be
held at the School of Medicine of the
National University Tuesday evening. No
decisive vote, which would show how the
conference stood on the matter, he said,
had as yet been taken.
The consolidation of the Foundry and
st. Paul's congregations has been freely
discussed. both pro and con, ever since
the Foundry congregation sold their old
church property. With the congregation
OF st. Paul's it is said to be case of
"Barkus is willing" so that it is up to
the conference of Foundry Church to de-
eide whether they shall be admitted to
the Foundry fold.

Secretary Long Thinks
Announcement of Pro-
gram UnwlSe.
APPEARS BEFORE COMMITTEE
Makes General Statement on the Needs
of the Navy-Asks for Two Battle
ships, Two First Class Cruisers, and
Smaller Craft.

Hearings on the naval appropriation bill
were completed yesterday. when the Sec
retary of the Navy appeared before the
House Committee on Naval Affairs. and
made general statement on the needs
Of the navy.
He was with the committee nearly an
hour. and explained in detail many of the
estimates of the department. He asked
for two battleships. two frst-class
cruisers. and number of small cruisers.
In addressing himself to the appropria-
tion bill, Secretary Long made the state
ment that it would be unwise for a re-
public to announce an elaborate naval
program. The foreign governments, he
said, every year publicly proclaim that
within some stipulated perioc they would
have so many battleships, SO many cruis-
ers, and so many small boats and that ten
years later they would have SO many
more.
Keep Business to Ourselves.
That's all right the Secretary con-
tinued. but let us get along in modest
way; improve the navy and the naval es-
taDiiSHIHenl carefully, ana Win WISDOM,
and keep our business to ourselves"
He recommended to the committee that
sections and 9 of the personnel
act be repealed They have served their
usefulness" he said, and now they are
harming the service
These two sections provide that an Of
fcer can seek retirement at any time. and
when retired shall receive as retired pay
three -fourths of the pay of the rank
grade higher than the one in which he
last served.
Political Difficulties Would Arise.
Secretary Long opposed the measure
proposed by labor organizations to build
battleships at the United States navy
yards on the ground that political difficult
ties would result and that it would cost
the Government 25 per cent more.
He asked the committee not to appro-
pirate for the purchase of additional sub
marine torpedo boats, saying that those
now owned by the Government are still
in an experimental stage.
He recommended that an experimental
engine station be established at Annapo-
lis.
He said he did not favor the setting
apart of a large sum of money as an en-
gineering fund, and recommended that
the $500, Geo to be appropriated for the
purpose be reduced to 800, 900.
