A. A. Knowlton, assistant professor 81
physics of the University of Utah, whoI
was present at the examination OF the
machine. which was held in the presencel
of newspaper men, private and govern
ment detectives and United States OIL
Gals, said -
Cummings idea of applying wireless
telegraphy to a block signal system is not
far fetched and might indeed prove prae-
'ticable. The chief problem of the inventor
would be that of reliability. Wireless ap-
paratus is very delicate and is subject to
fitfulness in operation unless kept care
fully adjusted. This apparatus could be
made to explode charge of dynamite at
a short distance, perhaps not more than a
hundred feet"
Mr.. w. p. Belts, Salt Lake City man,
who had made arrangements TO help
finance Cummings patent, tells the fol-
lowing story of his first meeting with the
young inventor. who is now held by the
federal authorities -
Cummings came to our office first on
the morning of June "a He said he had
been looking for the offices of the Utah
Light and Railway Company to apply for
work and had been attracted by the sign
on our door. His explanation Of his pro-
posed patent interested me- and immedi-
ately took him to the office of our at
torney, Mr.. j. Stokes, Jr., and a contract
was made by which we were to furnish
material for the building of a model for
an interest in the patent rights"

old boy who is being held by the gov

gave him 81 900 he would destroy her by
means Of this contrivance.
It is the opinion OF the authorities that
Cummings fell upcl this alleged black
mailing scheme to get money to place
his invention before the public. That the

TO a block signal system is the opinion
of scientists who have examined the de-
lice.
But it also has deadly possibilities. An
internal machine containing the receiving

machine and connected with the inside
are two pieces of wire about six inches
long. one end of each being bent in an

after all the painful experiences of
cities on the mainland and the cost
that some of them have had to under
go in order to extricate themselves
from the control of street railway
companies, and in view of all that has
been written on the subject and is
now generally accepted as correct
doctrine. ii would seem beyond belief
that the'city of Honolulu could blindly
place itself where so many cities else
where placed themselves years ago
when street railways we're a new
thing and the necessary lessons had
not been learned.
Another reason why the Legisla-
ture may well be expected to pursue
modern rather than antiQuated views
on this subject is that congress last
year incorporated such modern views,
in paragraphs drafted by me, into the
act for the Hilo street railway fran
chise, which was enacted at the last
session of our Legislature. 1t did
that, moreover, in the case of a rail
way that was about to be started and
that had before it the usual early
years of development and small
earnings and that was to operate in
a town that was very small for the
support of an electric street railway.
How much more should the rights of
the public be guarded in the case of
company which has already largely
passed its period of development and
small earnings, and which is apply
