MORSE CODE IRISH,
SAYS PROFESSOR
Educator Declares it Nothing More
Than Old Gaelic Dot and Dash
... Alphabet,

Washington, Nov. 22.-The Morse
code, by which messages are flashed
over the vast network or wires
, throughout the civilized world. was not
the invention of Samuel b. f. Morse,
but was Of Irish origin, being the old
Gaelic dot and dash alphabet In use as
early as 1850.
This declaration by Professor James
Money before the Archaeological society
Of Washington at it's meeting in the
National museum has stirred up a
heated controversy. Professor Money
declared that the Gaelic alphabet, or
the Ogem system, as it is known, was
actually the basis Of the So called
Morse code. He insisted his contention
was fully carried out by the records OF
tie ancient Irish people as found In
stone and wooden carvings.
There were seventeen letters in the
Gaelic alphabet" he declared, land
they began with one dash, went up to
five dashes, and then from five dashes
down to one dash and then began the
dots. very much the same as the Morse
alphabet used in telegraphy.'
