De VILLIERS
ARRESTED
FRIDAY IN
ST. LOUIS
PRISONER WILL BE BROUGHT
BACK HERE TO ANSWER TO
THE CHARGE OF PASSING BAD
CHECKS AND OTHER oFFENsEs.
SHERIFFGONE AFTER PRISONER

Frank R. DeVilliers, who made his
escape from the authorities here
week or ten days ago after passing
nearly a score of worthless checks, on
which he secured a considerable
amount of money and merchandise.
was arrested in st. Louis shortly af-
ter IL O'Clock last Friday night and
locked up in the city Jail for safe
keeping pending the arrival of an Of
ficer from Canon City to bring him
back to Colorado. DeVilliers was
taken into custody at the instance OF
Sheriff Newcomb Of this city, who had
been given top by the chief of police
of Grand Rapids, Michigan, that ho
was staying at boarding house on
Gates avenue in st. Louis.
Late Friday afternoon telegram
was received here from police head
quarters at Grand Rapids stating that
DeVilliers was in St. Louis and was
staying at a certain number on Gates
avenue in the fashionable part of the
city. The message was transmitted
at once, with the request that he be
placed under arrest, to Chief of Police
Young at st. Louis and he detailed
a couple of men from his department
TO take DeVilliers into custody, which
was done without difficulty and Sher-
iff Newcomb informed by wire OF the
execution OF the warrant. How the
the police at Grand Rapids knew of
DeVilliers presence in st. Louis is
not knoIl LIE, but it is suspected
that it was ascertained in some way
through a young lady there with
whom Devilliers was carrying on
correspondence.
II became known to the authorities
last week that Devilliers cashed two
drafts at the First National bank here
that had been sent from Grand Rapids
.-one of them for fifty dollars and
the other for ten dollars. In view of
this fact it was thought that he might
be going to Michigan and the police
departments at Grand Rapids, Lansing
Kalamazoo, Detroit and other cities
in that state were instructed TO be on
the lookout or him. In addition tc
passing worthless checks Devilliers
succeeded in securing possession of 6
lot of valuable jewelry and othel
articles from his friends here. ant
complaints have been filed against hin
charging grand larceny.
DeVilliers is said to have acknowl
edged his identity at police headquar
ters in St. Louis and to have state,
that he passed bad checks in Colorado
He also expressed his willingness Z
be brought back here without the fol
mality of the usual requisition papers
1t is said that Devilliers stopped 70
"a couple of days In Denver after leas
ing here and narrowly avoided bein
arrested there.
Sheriff Newcomb left for St Loui
on Denver & Rio Grande train No.
Sunday afternoon, and. on his arriva
there, will take DeVilliers in charge

Professor Michael /. Pupin, whose
inventions aided in making long dis.
lance telephony possible. announces
an invention which. be says. will reyo-
lutionize wireless telegraphy and to-
lephony
Professor Pupin has perfected re-
ceiver which is sensitive only to such
waves as the operator desires This
instrument. he said. is the one thing
that is needed to make possible the
transmission of wireless messages be-
tween any two points on the earths
| surface.
1t will make the arts Of wireless
telephony and teleGraphy commercial
ly practicable over loug distances and
may sound the doom of the cable.
Professor pupin declined to describe
the appMatus on the plea that 1t was
too soon. He said that he would not
make his invention public until after
the war II do not intend an enemy
should benefit by It," he added.
He did not. however. hesitate to de-
scribe what had led up to his inven-
tion. He said
Eliminates Static Electricity.
''The most important problem facing
aerial communication" he said lis the
elimination of static electricity. Static
is the curse of the wireless engineer
and the one reason that wireless tele-
graph stock h2s never paid dividends.
Can it be eliminated? When we
look ut it first ii seems impossible. But
If we study the functions of certain hu-
man organs an idea is suggested TO us.
'There are sounds that the human
ear cannot hear and colors The human
eye cannot detect. That is because the
eye and ear remain unreSponsive to
those vibrations that are beyond their
range.
static is of higher pitch than the
electrical vibrations used in wireless
man voice which are used in wireless
telephony. Therefore we have to imi-
tate what is done in the human body.
I'VE have TO build structure that
will act sclectively and amplify con-
tinuous electrical waves and remain
unresponsive to irregular electric i'm
pulses.
1--WE have done this already success
fully. 1t IS scientifically completed. but
not sufficiently completed to lie fool
proof when used in the applied arts /
hope before long to make it absolutely
fool proof
Describes His Amplifier.
Professor Pupin described how he
had evolved the idea Of the amplilier.
He said the i,ea had come to him
from the tiny cells in the human ear
that amplify ana make audible the
faintest sounds.
Professor Pupin made the announce
ment that an American professor, Jo-
seph Henry of Princeton. was the first
to announce the existence of electric
oscillations. on which wireless tel
egraphy is founded.
Professor Henry made his announce
ment in 1870" he said. "a fact known
by few of his countrymen. who have
always allowed the claim made by
the Germans for Professor Heinrich

Major Josiah w. Smith, secretary
OF the Democratic state central COM
mittee, is dead. Death came to him
at Ann Arbor, Mich, on Tuesday,
where he had gone to a sanitarium
in an effort to regain falling health
The funeral was held at his home in
Ottawa, Putnam county, where burial
was made.
For the second time within the
year death has invaded the ranks OF
the Democratic state central commit
tee. AS in the death of Edward W..
Hanley, it's chairman, so in the death
of Major Smith, it's secretary, the
Democratic state committee suffers
a distinct loss. Major Smith was
serving his second term as secretary
and for many years had been active
In behalf of the Democratic party.
Major Smith was a member of the
state committee from the Fifth dis
trict. He was on the official staff of
former Governor Harmon and was a
Harmon delegate in the last Demo-
cratic national convention. He was
formerly prosecuting attorney of Put
nam county and later served as spec
ial counsel in the attorney generals
office.
A wife and two children survive

Emphatic denial by Justice Hughes
that he would be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency has left one hope of the Willis
boosters dying. That is the vice-pres.
idential idea which was hitched up
with the belief in the candidacy Of
Hughes. Now another Moses must
be found to lead the Willis ambition
out of the wilderness. Hughes reads
political signs better than does Bur-
ton.
Now that 1t is all said and done
that Sprague law referendum was in
reality a test of party organization
strength and efficiency. Chairman
w. l.. Finley spent $1,757 for the
Democrats and won Just as he has
done for them eleven times out of
twelve, and he rallied the members
of the organization so that now they
are in fighting trim as they have not
been for year. Chairman Jones
spent s4.724.S9 and lost and finds that
