One was with Grand Duke.

A Million Dollars Does Not Interest
Thomas A. Edison.

Cleveland, (SpeciaD-Through nego-
tiations ended by Thomas A. Edison's
refusal of a check for 100000 to
clinch an offer of millions for rights
to his new talking picture inventions
1t was learned that the inventor has
made two improvements which will re-
suit in making the monograph a per-
feet instrument.
News of the inventions was gained
from Attorney P. ]. Brady, who has
just returned from the Edison labora-
tory at Orange, N. J., and who offered
the inventor the million-dollar check.
Brady went to Edison on behalf of
Cleveland and Chicago capitalists, pre-
sumably trolley magnates. who were
DESTROYS of looking into Edison's new
storage battery with the idea of utiliz-
ing it on electric railways.
While there Brady, who was accom-
panied by one of the Cleveland multi
millionaires, was given a demonstra-
ton of the talking pictures. Brady
hurried back home and the next day
returned to Orange with the check.
Edison just laughed when we oner-
ed him the check as part payment on
our offer of several millions for the
rights to the talking pictures" said
Brady. I'VE also offered him in addi-
ton large royalties on the machines.
He turned us down."
