WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
French Invention Carries Light
Waves Just as Telephone Does

Paris. July 14.-An invention for
transmitting sight by wire, just as
sound is transmitted by telephone,
was described to the French Acade-
my Of Science by Professor Gabriel
Lippman, who read paper on the
remarkable instrument designed by
George Rignoux. and by him called
the telephota.
Roughly outlined, the process con-
sists of throwing a powerful light
upon the object to he transmitted.
This light falls on a disc composed
of solcmnium cells. An electric cur
rent is passed through the cells.
which correspond to the points of
light on the object. These are col
lected by rotary cylinder and then
transmitted by wire and reproduced
by mirrors on Il screen at the other
end.
Prof. Lippman, of the University
Of Paris, obtained the Nobel prize in
1909 for physics IN recognition of his
discoveries in optics and color photo

District Attorney Satisfied Doctor
Carman Has Not Told Truth Con-
cerning Killing of Woman.

New York, July 14.-With the cor
ridors and walks around the little
gray concrete courthouse at Mlneola
TANNED with curious throng, the
Nassau county grand jury today be-
gan its investigation of the murder
CT Mrs. Louise D. Bailey, who was
Shot to death in the Office of DR.. Ed
win Carman, of Freeport, June 80
William D. Bailey, husband of the
slain woman; Mrs. Jennie Duryea,
her mother, mad Madeline Bailey, her
nineteen-year-old daughter, were the
first witnesses summoned by Dis
trict Attorney Lewis J. Smith.
District Attorney Smith called the
dead woman's relatives to establish
the movements of the victim on the
day of the murder.
DIR. Edwin Carman, it now appears
certain, will be requested to sign a
waiver of immunity before he is per-
mitted to appear before the grand
jury.
Mrs. Tod Powell, Mrs. Carman's
sister, may also be asked to sign a
similar waiver before she is called
before the grand jury. These state
ments are mad on the authority of
the district attorney, who is con-
vinced that DR.. Carman has not told
him the truth in regard to the shoot
ing of Mrs. Louise Bailey in his of
flee on the night Of June 80.
When the district attorney lays the
case against Mrs. Carman before the
grand jury he will also request that
she be permitted to testify. This
is a question which the jurors alone
have the authority to pass upon'
and Mr.. Smith will make no recon-
merdations either for or against the
telling of her story by the physicians
wife.
Significance was attached to this
remark. made by the district attor-
ney:;:., ::j.,' :: j.
"In any event, Mrs. Carman will
not be allowed to go, before the
grand jury until Celia Coleman, the
colored maid, has testified"
This arrangement, taken together
with, the semirofieial statements that
Celia is likely to prove the "star"
witness of the prosecution, is con-
strued here. to mean that Smith ebe-
lieves the, story of the girl will be
as convincing that no damage can be
done; the ? peoples case b ythe ap-
pearance, of Mrs. Carman.
