Tuckerton Station Told
1t Must Not Operate
Without License.
ALLIES SAID TO
HAVE FILED PROTEST
No Permit Can Be Granted Dur
ing War-Other Plants
Require Relay.

Washington, Aug. 24-After con-
ference with Secretary Daniels to-day,
Secretary Redheld notified the German
owned wireless station at Tuckerton, y.
j., that it is operating in violation Of
law
Later the management Of the Tucker
ton station was notified that the call
letters temporarily assigned had been
cancelled. Further operations viii sub
ject the station 70 penalties including
forfeiture Of the apparatus. In effect
IL has been ordered closed.
The action was taken because the
Tuckerton station never has been u
censed, as il required in the radio laws.
Lately 10 has been the only direct
means of communication between the
United States and Germany.
The Tuckerton tower rs said 20 be the
only one having a system capable Of
overcoming static conditions 30 hot
weather. The wireless station az Say
vile, Long Island. is licensed and now
under censorship.
Theodore Lemke, local manager for
the Goldschmidt company, which owns
the IucsertOn station, said yesterday
that the only messages that had been
sent through that station we're those
from American newspapers and from
Americans who had friends marooned
on the other side. No charge was made
for any OF these messages, he said.
Although his company was not pre-
pared for business, Mr.. Lemke said.
August /, after the German cable had
been cut, his company transmitted and
received messages under a permit from
the government.
L was reported yesterday that the
closing Of the station az Tuc<erton
followed a protest from the ALI that
the plant was operating without IL
cense. This protest, 10 is understood,
was lodged after the receipt o. q mes
cage from Germany by the German
Ambassador a few days ago. which was
said 70 have come by way Of Tuckerton.
Under the Hague agreement no wire
less license can be granted while war
il in progress. This means that the
Tuckerton station will nave 20 close
permanently.
Mr.. Lemke asserted yesterday that
no code messages had been sent from
Tuckerton.
The Tuckerton station has been IN
censor, since the day after President
Wilson issued his proclamation Of neu-
trality. Lieutenant Platt has with him
two navy wireless operators. The COM
pany has had but one operator Of its
own at the plant, Since the navy oper-
ators have been az the station they
have been sending and receiving prac-
tically all the messages passing through
there.
The Tuckerton wireless tower is moro
than 500 feet high, and the plant is one
Of the most complete Of its kind in the
world.
Il is believed that Germany will en-
ter a protest against Secretary Red
fields order, although the German
government was simply given a per
nit in May 20 conduct experiments az
the station for period OF three
weeks.

United Press Scored World Scoop in
Getting the First News of
~ the Landing Of the
Marines.
NEWSPAPER
Why The Gate City and Other Y. P.
Papers Beat All the 9th
ers on Last
Evening.

That rarest OF newspaper accom-
plishments, world scoop, is today
being scored to the credit of VIM. G.
Shepherd, staff correspondent OF the
United Press at Mexico City, who at
$40 p. m. eastern time) yesterday
more than four hours ahead of any
other newspaper men-gaye to the
world the news that American ma
rines had landed in Vera Cruz. and
war with Mexico was on. The achieve
ment, which resulted in the-state de-
partment at Washington getting it's
first news Of the battle of Vera Cruz
from the United Press, will go down
in newspaper history as one of tn,
greatest scoops OF the generation.
The beat was made possible de-
spite the Mexican censorship which
for all other newspaper men was air
tight. by resort to simple private
code employed by Shepherd and the
New York Office of the United Press.
An innocent appearing message rela-
tive to the shipment of some photo
SIdpllC GuOI CoSCu Wy EhCpiCiu
to private address in New York did
the trick and while the correspon-
dents of the other news agencies and
newspapers in Mexico City were fun
ing over their inability to get their
dispatches past the censor, Unit ed
Press papers the country over we're
printing the news Of the landing and
attack of Vera Cruz. During this time
the rival agencies were seeking to
discredit the story.
Hours before any rival agency had
succeeded in getting word of infor-
nation through, second code mes
sage came through from Shepherd
giving first details Of the actual fight
ing and of the course pursued by Adj
miral Fletcher's landing party.
This second message was later sup
plemented by message from Vera
Cruz direct, where for several hours
previous, the resident correspondent
Of the United Press and all other cor
respondents had been trying in vain
to get message past the censor.
Shepherds scoop, closely following
his almost equally important one Of
last week-wh en- he made the exclu-
sive announcement that Huerta was
going to deliberately force the United
States to intervene-was the fifth
beat scored by the United Press in

ing the sending of the battleship fleet
