which Judge Murray sent out a short
time ago to a man who lives on the
500 line about forty miles from Mi

ting a Minot girl in trouble. He had
written the Minot girl many letters,
telling how busy he was and that It
was impossible for him to get away.
When he got the letter from Judge
Murray his business all seemed to
vanish and he landed in Minot just
fourteen hours after the Judge had
mailed the letter It was one Of the
quickest trips he ever made to MI

Shutting off his motor, Whisky had
stopped his machine in front of the
City Hall to speak with friends. When
he was ready to start he stepped in
front of the auto and gave the crank
a turn. The machine leaped forward
as though possessed Of life. He had
neglected to throw out his clutch
when he cut out his power.
The motorist grasped the hood Of

Professor Goldschmidt's wireless in

Great secrecy Is maintained as to the
exact nature of the new system, and

in his private workshop.
Hickory Island, a sandy strip of
land surrounded by hundreds of acres
of salt meadows and located four and
one-half miles south of Tuckerton,
has been purchased by the %represen-
tatives of the German invenor and al
importation of laborers and building
material.
Access to the place by land is diff
cult and the contractors are making
arrangements to transfer all heir
material by water, thereby making
use of a small creek that runs near
the place and empties into Great Bay
that communicates with the Atlantic
ocean through B~rigantine inlet.
Schooners will be used for t%ranspor-
tation and material will be shipped
from New York.
1t is expected that the plant will be
completed next winter. The contract
for construction has been awarded to
the Westinghouse, Church & Kerr
Company, of New York, and plans are
now being perfected for the erection
of two and perhaps three brick build
ings. The machinery will be con-
structed according to the plans and
drawings submitted by Prof. Gold
schmidt to the New York concern
with which the German inventor was
at one time connected.

but / am not prepared to give out
any news about the matter yet. We
are spending our own money and
working out our own ideals"
Mr.. Lemke stated the new wireless
inventor had just been in this coun-
try and visited the South Jersey loca-
ton on which he placed his approval.
Several prominent men, 1t is under
stood, were also conferred with re-
garding the location, among them the
State geologist. Henry b. kummel,
of Trenton.
1t is understood that there is an
abundance of German capital back
of the new wireless company. and
according to Mr.. Lemke, the kaiser
himself has taken a personal interest
in the new invention, having made
frequent visits to the German plants
now in operation.
The contractors have been asked to
make all consistent haste with the
work of building, and the establish
naent of the necessary colony in
the mosquito district. Although it
was admitted that there were many
difficulties and problems to be met
in the transatlantic system that
would be new and different from those
that have been thus far encountered.
Mr.. Lemke smiled in his affable man
ner when the suggestion of failure
was preached.
I'VE expect to have the plant in
running condition and successful
operation next winter" said he. AS
TO the commercial end of the bust
ness he would say nothing.
Messages may be sent through the
ocean waves a distance of 5000 miles,
or over, II the dream of the German
student of electricity is realized.
Questions of elemental interference
through storm or other subtle inf1u-
ence with the operation were met
with confident assurance.
In all his remarks, as in his claims
for the new wireless, Mr.. Lemke dis
played great conservatism. but his
jealous interest in the revolutionary
invention was unhidden and unmis-
taxable.

M%EGAPHONE TURNS

If the~megaphone had never been

they were in the old days, is the
opinion of former Sheriff William

former sheriff, with his counsel, Will

morning.
The two men from Essex, although
registered at the Raleigh, were seen
several times yesterday at tn Mary
land Club in the company of Con-
gresham Hamill and in conference
with some of the New York eaders.
81 didn't like the preaching through
the megaphones." said the sheriff,
'If they would abolish them one
could hear what was going on. Those
things are noise creators. Everybody
shouts, and when you tell them to
speak lower they reply it's all right,
the speech makers can make them
selves heard through the mega

SAW DA CUNHA WILL IN
FIDELITY TRUST VAULT

Testimony tending to show that
Mrs. Rosina w. Da Cunha, of Mont
clair, had made a will later than May,
1900, and that the will had been kept
in a safe deposit vault at the Fidelity
Trust Company for several years, was
given by Herbert Adams, assistant
superintendent of the vaults of the
trust company, at a hearing before
Judge William f. Martin yesterday.
Mr.. Adams testified that Mr.. Da
Cunha had rented a o in October,
1907, and had placed therein a will.
He also said that Mrs. Da Cunha had
taken the will from the box and had
kept 1t in her possession for some
length of time at several different
periods between March, 1908, and Oc-
tober II, 1911. Mrs. Da Cunha died
on May Z last.
1t is contended by George T.
Wicker, of Jersey City, as counsel
for Mrs. Mabel Fulle, Mrs. Adelaide
Bennett and other relatives of Mrs.
Da Cunha that they are named as
benefciaries under the missing will.
George W. Da Cunha named in the
will of May, 1900, as executor, a
already testified that when he opened
the box at the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, after the 1900 will had been ad-
mitted to probate, there was no Will
in the box. With the exception of a
few articles of jewelry and some I'M
important papers, the box was empty.
Mr.. Da Cunha is very positive in
his statement that there was no Will
in the box when he opened it, while
the other contestants for a share of
the estate insist that a later will than
the 1900 document is in existence. In
the 1900 will Mr.. Da Cunha is made
practically the sole legatee. Further
hearing in the case will take place
on July 16.

Work IA already been started on
the construction of a wireless plant
near Tuckerton that will have tele-
graphic connection with a similar
plant that is to De constructed at
Hanover, Germany.
The new wireless invention, the re-
suit Of years of dihgent study and ex-
~perimenting of Professor DIR. Ing, Ru-
dolph Goldschmidt, of Charlotten-
burg, has received the official recog-
milton of the German government.
This new system is now in successful
operation between Berlin, Paris and
London. It has been the most vital
and interesting subject to the scien-
tifc world that has been discussed
since the successful operation of h
Marconi system.
The new radio system invented by
Professor Go1dschmidt is yet in its
infancy. The establishment of the
Transatlantic communication, accord
ing to Theodore r. Lemke, the OIL
cial representative OF the inventor, Is
little more than an experiment. He
admitted, however, that the work on
the new plants was being begun on
practical and permanent rather than
experimental lines.
In a recent interview with DIR.
Goldschmidt, a representative of the
Newark Star questioned the inventor
as to the commercial value and the
practical nature of his radio system,
and he had this to say:
eve have a system which we feel
reasonably sure will accomplish one
definite thing, hat is. transmit mes
sages from New Jersey to Germany"
rs you system launched for the
purpose of raising money in this
country? In other words, is your
visit to America significant with a
view toward raising necessary cap
ital?" DR.. Goldschmidt was asked.
mo, a German company is already
organized, with ample finances to
carry on this experiment"
In speaking of his visit to America
the professor stated that he had a

~tageously available, inasmuch as we
were a wonderful telephone and

communicative apparatus was easily
