OSCILLATOR GIVES WARNING
AT SEA.

AN electric oscillator, for use on
"a ships, which announces the
presence Of another vessel,
locates icebergs, indicates sea
depths and provides for the trans
mission of submarine telephone and
telegraph messages, is described in
the October Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The device consists prin-
cipally Of a 24-inch metal dia-
phragm attached to a cylindrical
case, within which is an electro
magnet actuating a copper sounder.
The oscillators, when in permanent
position, are placed inside of a
ships skin, beneath the water line,
on both the port and %starboard
sides. Vibrations of the diaphragm
amounting to a movement of one
thousandth part of an inch and re-
peated with great rapidly throw
out sound waves under the water
which may be caught by the re-

heard at a distance Of thirty miles,
while at shorter ranges numerous
Geographic conversations have been
carried on successfully. In one in
stance the experimenters actually
talked between two ships. In locat-
ing %icebergs, it is the echo which
gives warning Of the presence of
danger.

Found Not Guilty of
Charge of Receiving
Goods Stolen from Mail

A verdict of not guilty was returned
late yesterday afternoon by jury
in the Newark branch OF the United
States District Court at the trial OF
Ernest Gambarini, of 81 McWhorter
street, charged with receiving goods
stolen from the mails. The trial was
the first of those to be held as re-
suit of the five arrests made by post
office inspectors in october, when
leak was detected in the parcel post
delivery system at the Newark post
office.
Gambarini is the manager Of Mar
ket street restaurant, and was
charged with receiving some silver
ware and other goods taken from par
eel post packages. The packages were
being carted from the postoffice to the
Market street depot of the Pennsy1-
vania railroad. Postoffice inspectors,
who made the arrests, testified yes
terday that they secured evidence
which led them to Gambarini's home,
and there discovered the missing
articles. Frank A. Boettner, counsel
for Gambarini, argued that his client
did not know the things were stolen.
George r. Maggie, of 636 Market
street, who was indicted in connec-
ton with the same offense, Yesterday
changed his plea from not guilty to
non yult. He was a baggageman at
the Pennsylvania station. 1t Is under
stood that he will be an important
witness for the government in the
trials of the other three men indicted.

from the members of the South Or

Herbert Taylor insisted at a meeting
of that body last night that his
resignation as township physician
and health officer be accepted at the
expiration of the year. 1t developed

Board of Health, since last month.
but withheld in an endeavor to have
the official reconsider his act.
Inability to give sufficient time to
his professional duties and the fact
that he recently accepted the office
of school medical inspector in Mill
burn township were given by DIR.
Taylor as reasons for rendering his
resignation. He has held the South
Oranges offices for about six years.
The Township Board of Health will
hold a special meeting Tuesday eve

Seeks to Establish
Proof of Lien OF Priority

Testimony to establish proof of a
lien of priority was taken before
Referee Edwin G. Adams in the
Bankruptcy Court yesterday after
noon in the claim of Antony Sica,
building contractor, against the bank
rnpt firm of Morelander, Finkelstetn
& Saschititsky. After hearing the
testimony of Sica the referee adj
journed the case until tomorrow
morning.
In his testimony, Sica stated that
he made a contract to do the excava-
ton and chimney work on two houses
which were to be erected for the
bankrupt Arm at 521 and 52s South
Tenth street. When the work was
practically completed, he said, he re-
ceiVed notice from Morelander and his
associates that they wished to cancel
the contract. Efforts to collect what
was due him for the work, which
amounted to $1,140, he said, proved
unavailing. In September, 1918, he
began suit in the Circuit Court, but
before the case came up for trial
Morelander and his partners were de-
clared bankrupts.
In view of the suit filed in the Cir
cult Court, Siea, through his counsel,
claims priority over the other cred
itors The assets of the defunct Arm
accruing from the sale Of the South
Tenth street property, il is claimed,
amount to $500.
The law firm of Beecher & Bedford,
through Bidder e. BiIder, is represent
ing Sica. Samuel Kessler is repre-
senting Simon l.. Fisch, trustee for
the bankrupt.
