German Scientist Announces DiscOv-
cry that VIII Greatly simplify
wireless TeIegraphy.

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-Prof. Ferdinand Braun
of Strasburg university whose application
Of Leyden Jars In propagating electric
waves is said to have enabled Marconi to
telegraph without wires across the Allan
tic, announced before the Strasburg Sci
entifc society yesterday that he had dis
covered a method OF producing electric
energy OF unlimited volume and projecting
It into space, in the form Of electric waves,
to any desired distance. Prof. Braun's
new methSa secures greater accuracy of
transmission through a more perfect at
tunement Of the transmitting and receiv-
ing instruments. He thinks he has sub
~Btantially found aNmethod Of transmitting
exclusively to one point of the compass,
thus avoiding interference by other waves.
The method. 1t is claimed, will work eco
nomically and simply.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 25.-President

Member of the defense fund committee

Numerous plans are suggested. The one
which finds most favor is to invest the
money in treasury bonds and other gilt
edged securities, drawing good rates Of in
terest, which could be realized on at once
in case OF necessity. 1t is the universal
demand that a national defense fund be
maintained, but the majority Of the dele
gates are opposed to any plan which takes
the money out OF circulation and ties II up
in banks and other repositories which pay
no interest. The greater number of the
delegates are in favor Of creating a state

wishes to Safeguard Trade.
]. c. Heenan Of Linton, Ind, who is a
member Of the commission appointed by
Governor Durbin two years ago to codity
| the mining, said tonight:
1 am unalterably opposed to any plan for
creating and maintaining a defense. fund
which ties the money up where II Is not
earning anything. 1t is bad for the coun-
try and bad for the miners to have q large
sum of money lying idle in the treasury,
If we take $5,0OO,O 600 out of the treasury
business interests will be affected to tina
extent.
Several delegates talked along the same
line and 1t is thought several plans will
be recommended.
The objection to the present plan, aside
from the fact that II keeps many idle, is
that a great many of the locals consider
1t optional with them whether they pay
the assessment or not, and doubtless q
recommendation will be made that all sucf
assessments be made mandatory.
The powder question promises to be one
with which the convention will have tC
cope before its sessions are ended. Mucf
dissatisfaction is heard from every sec
tion on the prices which the miners hav'
to pay for powder. The cost of powder
to the miner now is $1.75 a key; a minei
will use one OF two kegs a week and HI
must pay for II himself. The present prict
is considered too high.
