Human Voice Did Not Cross
Atlantic Ocean by Wireless

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The dis
patches received from Berlin and
published In this country last Sat
urday that there had been wireless
telephone exchanges across the At
lantic, between Germany and New
Jersey are today declared to have
been erroneous.
Aerograms or wireless telegraph
signs we're so transmitted, but the
error was in describing the sounds
as those of the human voice, and II
apparently originated in Berlin, where
the word for an aerial telegram was
confused with that for an aerial tele-
phone message.
This explanation was received to-
day from Emile Mayer, of the Gold
schmidt wireless station, whose
American station is at Tuckerton,
N. ]. This station was said to have
received the telephone communication
from the other side.

MINISTER FORCED
TO AID FUGITIVE
Ex-convict compeIs Rev. H. r.
Schroeder to Give Him Money
to Escape Police.

Apparently DESPERATE with the
stigma of distrust which follows an
ex-convict, a man who said he had
recently served long term in jail
and was wanted by the police on a
new charge of suspicion, obtained 50
from Rev. Henry r. Schroeder, of the
Second German Baptist Church, by
threats last night. After giving the
money the minister attempted to dis
cover the mans identity and to detain
him until the police could be notified,
but was unsuccessful.
When his unwelcome guest left, DR..
Schroeder notified the authorities and
general alarm has been sent out.
The police are unable to tell, from DR..
Schroeder's description, whether the
man is wanted in this city or not.
The man called at DIR. Schroeder's
home, 1913 Walnut street, shortly after
6 o'clock last night, saying that he
wanted to see the minister on per-
sonal matter. When he was admitted
he told DIR. Schroeder that he was an
ex-convict, and demanded enough
money to pay his fare to Boston. He
sal dthat since finishing his prison
term he had bee unable to secure
honest work and had been arrested
several times on suspicion. He in
tended to appeal to a sister in Boston,
he said DR.. Schroeder offered to get
work for him in the city, but the man
demanded money.
He was well-dressed according to
DR.. Schroeder. and apparently a man
of education. During the interview
he kept his hand in his hip-pocket,
as though lingering a revolver. Dur
ing the last several weeks, he told
the clergyman, he had slept on his
revolver and often thought of sui
eide. The man said that he had re-
ceived the address of his victim from
a letter-carrier and had watched the
house all day with the intention Of
robbing 1t.
DR.. Schroeder described the man as
about 81 years old. feet 10 inches
tall. of medium build. bald and with
a dark brown moustache.

NODLEST TYPE OF
AMERICAN GIRL
Continued from First Page,


girls have not altered the simplicity
of their attire. Any morning you
may see Jessie Wilson going about
the White House in plain dark suit
no drapery, no slit and no minaret
and white tailored shirtwaist
with long sleeves and collar-a 50
shirtwaist that any girl might wear
to work.
For Jessie Wilson does not care
very much for clothes. A person who
didn't know it before could CLEAN
as much from the severity of ner
wedding gown.
She is religious. She has the KIND
of religion that plays like sunlight
over the harsh realities of life. 1t is
not a religion of lip-service, but Of
work.
She is very fond of country and
suburban life and 1t was because of
this preference that Mr.. Sayre gave
up his work In the district attor-
secretary to the president of Will
Jams College, from which he was
graduated.
Jessie wilson's idea of a worth
while job for woman is that of Sec
rotary of the Young Women's Chris
tan Association and q few months
ago she defined what she thinks Is
an adequate equipment for the job:
"She must be a housekeeper. a finan-
cier, a preacher, teacher end a So
cial physician. besides being just a
nice woman"
Another time Jessie Wilson char
acterized the spirit in which women
should attack the task which inter-
ests them as "a perfect Indifference
as to who gets the glory, provided
the thing Is DONE"
She has carried this program out,
particularly in the matter of her own
wedding For she decided very early
that there wasn't going to be any
glory; that 1t would be as simple and
quiet as she could make 1t.
And her mother and sisters have
aided and abetted her purpose.

WEEPING, ADMITS
HE is A FORGER
Edward Mckinney, Bookkeep-
er, Signed Employers Name
to Checks.

Forgery of checks aggregating ap-
proximateIy $500 was today laid to
Edward Mckinney, aged twenty-six,
of 46s Avon avenue. a bookkeeper In
the employ of Groebe & MeGovern,
printers, of rs Clinton street, who was
arrested today. The specific charge
on which Mckinney was arrested was
for the forgery of check for $2l297
made out to himself on the Manufac-
tnrers' National Bank. Guido Groebe,
a member of the company, who de-
clares his signature was forged, is the
complainant.
Mckinney wept as he admitted his
guilt to Judge Hahn when arraigned
today. He declared he could give alb
solutely no reason why he had done
1t. He doesn't know what prompted
him and said that sickness at his
home must have affected him mental
". He admitted forging two other
checks.
Plainclothesman Mcclure. who ar
rested Mckinney, learned from his
investigations in the matter that Nc
Kinney never drank intoxicants and
didn't gamble. He was married, APP
parently happy and was to all APP
pearances a model as q husband and
a workman. He has peen in the en-
ploy of the printing firm for nearly
two years.
According to Mcguire, the bank Of
flcials declared the forgery was one
of the cleverest that had ever come
to their attention. The characters in
the name were almost perfect and
they are inclined to the belief that
1T is either a tracing of Groebe's sig
nature or else they declare the alleged
i forgerer has practised making the
signature for some time.
Judge Hahn remanded the prisoner
until Wednesday when he will be
given an examination.

for Mexico
They are not under orders to pro-
coed to Mexico, and 1t is the expecta-

issue orders for such a movement
The situation in that country, how
aver, is regarded as sufficient to war
rant the concentration of force
strong enough to take possession of
seaport and open the way for an
invasion Of the country.
It will be for President Woodrow
Wilson to determine whether such an
expedition shall be dispatched, al
though of course 1t is assumed that
he first will seek the guidance of con-
gress. Through trusted agents,
though not directly, the president-elect
