ventor Who Not Only Converses
With Them, but Sings and Jokes.
A mysterious voice that had been
waited on wireless wave over the va
the last two weeks was found to have
been that OF Irving Vermilya, twenty
four years old, Marconi operator aboard
the steamship N%orthland, which piles
between New York and Portland. Me.
He has invented a wireless telephone
which he says will easily carry his
voice In audible tones twenty-five
miles and that the apparatus costs only
500.
"On all our last trips" said Vermilya,
Il have sent the captains messages to
the regular shore stations by telephone.
The other day, when passing Vineyard

a revenue cutter that n schooner was
ashore on Handkerchief shoaI."
Voices Come From Space.
Wireless operators of vessels along
the coast have been puzzled beyond
measure by a voice coming from space.
Love messages, business talks and mu.
sic have reached their ears. Even am.
ateurs ashore have caught the voice.
Several days ago the operator at the
Sea Gate station nearly dropped out OF
his chair when. instead of a series OF
| dots and dashes, a voice came out OF
his receiver: "Northland. VIII dock
| p. m"
The operator looked about to see II
any one was playing a trick. Finding
himself alone, he flashed a call to re
| peat the message. Back came the dis
tinct reply, "Just thought you might
be lonesome and I would say 'Hellor"

Fifth avenue, are stricken out from
the evidence that will be considered
by the jury in the case of the Bar
rett brothers and Arthur Friedman,

Judge Mckinley made this ruling
yesterday on motion of Atty Ed
ward Day for the defense. The
court addressed Asst States Atty
O'Brien: There is a proper method
for introducing these into evidence,
but that proper method has not been
followed"
The defense failed to prove that
Francis Byrne, newsboy, got off
Wits car and ran to get crowd
from the Daily World Office while
Witt held the car, and the court
granted the motion of Atty O'Brien
that all testimony concerning a, con-
spiracy between Witt and. Byrne be
stricken from the record.
