Washington, May 14--(Special)--At the

graphed today for John T. Hammond,
president of the State bank of New
Smyrna, Fla, to be here Monday and
Duke c. Bowers Of Memphis, Tenn, to

Mr. Hammond was formerly engaged in
the wholesale grocery business at Or
lando, Fla, but alleged he was forced
out of business by the Wholesale Grocers'
association and filed suit in the federal
court against a number of Florida mem
bers of the association. This trial at
j Jacnso,sss,ss', x-.--y. ~>-si&>a. in a verdict
of $25 900 for Hammond, but was on APP
peal reversed by the circuit court of ap-
peals at New Orleans. Judge Mccormick

technicality, had not been properly identi.
fed by Hammond when he was in the
witness box. The suit Is now pending
for another trial In the lower court.
Mr. Bowers owns and operates 80 stores
in Memphis. Tenn, and he, too. who is
alleged to have suffered at the hands of
associations of fixed price systems.

BY WIRE SENT
FROM BOSTON TO NEW YORK

New York, May 14.--(Special.)--
Wire photography had its initial DEM
onstration In this country today when
phi otographs of prominent men were
transmitted by means of the electro
graph system from the offices of the
Boston American to the New York
American and back again.
The tests were pronounced by CON-
mittee of well known New Y Yorkers who
gathered at the American offices to
be an unqualified success.
The photographs as thev came to the
American offices were received by ~.
Thornbach. the English clectograph en-
Graver, who took charge Of the ma
chine at this end of the line. He had
a trained assistaflr at the Boston end.
who sent the photographs over ana re-
ceived those which Mr. Baker trans
mstved. s
The demonstration occupied one
hour. For the purpose of the tests two
telephone wires were get aside by the
American Telegraph and Telephone
company
The electrograph consists of two ma
chimes exactly alike and it Is from
the cylinders, resembling those of tn Q
phonograph. that the photographs arc
transmitted. When a picture is sent
from one end of the wire the twin
machine at the other end engraves IT.
1t is merely a matter of switching
the eiertc current by, means of levers
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-05-15

to make the machine receive or send
a photograph.
When the committee had gathered
Mr. Baker signaled the operator at
Boston to place on the cylinder. tin
foil film tone of Judg Gary. This half
tone, Mr.. Baker explained, was exactly
like those which are used in ordinary
iph Geographic reproduction work, ex-
copting that the screen lines were run
one way, from the top to the bottom
of the film, and also the lines in the
electrograph film were slightly
coarser than ordinarily.
The space between the lines upon
the tin foil film, the inventor ex-
planned, serve as grooves for the stilus
above the cylinders to run in. Tho
varying shades of a photograph are
recorded in the travelling of this stilus
While the stilus is going over the
flim electric waves produced in the
process are communicated to the stylus
on the receiving machine. This stylus
runs over sheet of highly sensitive
paper, so chemically treated that the
slightest impression OF the needle Is
recorded.
1t took exactly six minutes for Mr
Gary's picture to go over the wire.
The committee, thrilled over the re-
markable work of the machine as II
traced out the work of the photograph.
AS work of artistic production the
photograph was superbly reproduced.
When Judge Gary saw the reproduction
he said: That is most excellent pic
ture 1t is marvellous invention. To
have witnessed this demonstration ba 6
been a rare privilege"
Later picture of Mr.. Mum, of the
Scientific American, was transmitted.

his deputies, In SO far as he knew, had
given the result or any information. He
promised TO make an Investigation Of the

ceased.

able outcome of the jury's deliberations,
attorneys for both the state and the de-
fense admitted tonight that they had
given up hope of calculating the result.

the jury will disagree. If an agreement
is not reached the jury will not be dis
charged until some time Tuesday.

wife sat in rest room with deputy mar

LARGE, FLAT HATS.

The expected turn of the wheel of
fashion has brought into the millin-
cry field a different shape of hat.
From the upturned brim there is a
departure for summer wear in the
form of large fiat hats, with slight
ly dropping brims and low crowns.
Some of the brims are slightly mar
rover at the front, while a decided
element of comfort is evident in the
deep bandeaux, that resemble a skull
cap, at the back of the hat, vanishing
at the front into a thin rim of buck
ram. These are so fitted that no
hatpins are necessary.
A wreath of flowers, nowhere rs
ing above the crown, is the simple
trimming used on the majority of the
fiat shapes. There can be the intro
duction of velvet flower, If note
Of contrast be needed.
Some of these new models are 81
fine straw, leghorn, or of frames COW
cred with satin and yelled with chif-
fon.
AS a change from the towering tur-
bans or the shapes that eclipse the
features, the low, fiat hats, resting
on the softness of naturally arranged
hair, come as a welcome relief
FOR RED-HAIRED PERSONS.
1t is all very well to talk about
auburns and titians, but some of us
do have carroty red hair and know
it. In that case we should avoid the
greens and light blues usually recon
mended to us, and dress in black and
white, in dark blues, moss greens

fortunate as to have the arms scorch-
ed to the point of blistering there is
nothing for it but to resort to OIL
and, when possible, the victim should
go to bed that the application NAV re
used unstintingly. 1t is by no means
uncommon for a man, sailing OF
swimming, to burn his shoulders to
blisters, and when that happens res
lief comes quickest by wetting pieces
of absorbent cotton with live oil and
keeping them over the tender places.
When he cannot do this, a healing
application is made from two drams
of strong spirits of camphor mi ked
with an ounce of benzoated oxide of
zinc ointment. This may be used
freely.
1t is becoming more and mora the
custom for persons who are run down
physically to take raw eggs. For
merly one thought it exclusively a
diet for tuberculosis victims, but it
is now ordered for Inconsistencies
and dyspeptics. 1t is no easy matter
to swallow raw egg. If nauseating
to you there are several DISCUSSES
for it. Salt and pepper make it more
palatable. Or little lemon or
orange juice sprinkled over the top
and the egg go down with it. One
man who has become a connojsseur
from long experience saws the one
and only way to dispose o the
slippery article of food is to swallow
lit down as one would an oyster, with
nothing to doctor it. This, he says,
can be easily done by using tall,
narrow mouthed glass, The narrow er
the retter. This gives the egg a
good start, it does not gel chance
to spread over the top CT the glass
or ones mouth and is down before
you know it.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

The secret of restoring tired ana
faded beauty is sleep, rest and milk
diet.
DR.. Charles Stuart Moody says:
"a simple cut, if permitted to seal it.
self up in it's own blood, will gener-
ally heal without any further inter
ference"
Following is a simple and effective
treatment to remove warts from the
hand: Put drop of vinegar on the
wart and as much baking soda as
the vinegar will absorb. Repeat
this three or four times a day, and
after a few days the wart will pro-
badly drop off, leaving no mark ex-
cept a tiny white speck.
In walking upstairs the feet should
be placed squarely on each step,
heel and all, and then the work
should be performed deliberately and
slowly. In this way there is no strain
on any particular muscle, but each is
doing it's duty in natural manner.
Climbing stairs in this way is an ex-
cellent form of exercise for the lower
limbs and, provided the chest is well
thrown back and the climber does
not get into the habit of bending
half doubled when ascending stairs
is excellent for the lungs and heart
The latter is excited to a more rapid
action and the lungs get full play.
It's drawing close TO the time when
the vacation girls will be fitting
home from the waves or the noun
tains to discover that erstwhile crea
my skins are dotted and marred with
freckles, or bronzed with a coat Of
tan. One of the remedies that every
one of our grandmothers kept on her
beauty shelf was buttermilk. Sopped
on the skin at night and morning
and allowed to dry there, it is an al
most infallible remover of freckles
Another old fashioned remedy for
whitening the skin is a tablespoonful
of grated horse-radish mixed in q
cupful of sour milk. This must
stand for six hours and is then APP
! piled several times a day.
