story.

EDISON'S SUBMARINE
BATTERY" A MYTH
So Designated by Man Close to
Inventor, Who Will Address
Spring Lake Convention

SPRING LAKE, n. j., Sept l3.-Thomas
A. Edison's new submarine battery" is
a myth and reports that II was invented
many years ago and has been developed
to n state OF high efficiency by years OF
treless endeavor are gross exagEerations,
according 10 a man high in Edison circles
He had been asked If it were ture that
the inventor would talk about the battery
to the 400 delegates to the 36th convention
Of the Edison Illuminating companies.
which opens today at the New Essex and
Sussex and the New Monmouth Hotels
here. His reply. which was supported by
another prominent man high in the official
circles of the organization, was as follows:
"NIr. Edison will not talk about his new
submarine battery. for the simple reason
that there Is no new submarine battery;
he has merely taken the old storage bat
terry used in automobiles and elsewhere
Tor Nenrs and modified Il i'm one or two
particulars that better adapt 1t TO sub
marine use Much that has been written
and said about 1t during recent months
has been highly imaginative"
II was explained that the "modifca-
uons" referred to were minor, except for
manufacture of batteries for submarines,
thus eliminating the possibility that the
deadly chlorine gas might be generated
by contact OF salt water with the lead.
Tie inventor will he here OH Wednes-
day for the business and social sessions
Of that day, and is expected to speak
briefly upon the part that the Edison in
c!ests may take in the new military and
naval defense program now being de-
veloped. 10 which he and other inventors
have been asked by Secretary Daniels to
lend their genius.
Informal gatherings throughout today
we're forcrunners of a brilliant reception

who accompanied them, will attend,

gether with President Walter F, Wells,

man, and Mrs. DOW will head the recep-
ton line.
Business sessions will begin tomorrow.
Two 6ances at the New Essex and Sus-
ga& cHd gyPcia, interesting golf contests

BLOT ON SLAIN HUSBANDS NAME
TORTURES HEART OF MRS. CORD
Friend of Family Brands Absurd Petersons Charge
That Realty Man Loved Another Woman.
Neighbor Says Cords Had Few Friends
By M'LISs

The continued assertions Of Olaf Peter
son, who Is being held In the Camden
jail as material witness" In the case
Of the murder Of Samuel $. Cord, wealthy
real estate dealer, that the latter was a
man whose relations with women were
questionable, is responsible for the phys
ical breakdown OF Mrs. cord and unless
the mystery OF her husbands death is
cleared soon and this stigma removed
the friends and neighbors believe her
condition is likely to become serious.
At the Cord home Ia Laurel Springs,
~ j.. instructions have been given to
admit no stranger asking 10 see tho grief
stricken widow, but when ! called there
Saturday, after Peterson had reitere ted

terms over the telephone could be found

intimate friend OF Mrs. Cord. now stay
Ing with her, came down to the porch
and consented to discuss the matter.
Each day." she said, 'as the realiza-
tion Of what has happened becomes more
vivid and the lies that are being printed
as the result OF Pcterson's statements
pile up Mrs Cord grows worse and
worse. until now we cannot even mem
tion the natter to her.
II have known the Cords for a long
time" she continued, "and no man was
more home-lovnE than Mr. Cord. He

his custom to come here Immediately
after his business hours, This talk Of a
woman i'm the case Is absurd.
1T is our belief that Peterson has made
these statements in order to divert at
tcntlon from himself or from anything
that he may know about the terrible
murder. The catastrophe was so sharp
and sudden that we have really had no
time to think out any theories. If we
have one at all 1t is that MIR. Cords
death must be the result of some busi-
ness affair"
There are many attractive homes in
Laurel Springs, but the Cord house is one
of the largest and finest. Its imposing
proportions are plainly visible from the
railroad, though 1t stands back some little
distance from the thoroughfare A sign,

not yet been removed from the entrance.
The house is approached either by wind
ing narrow footpath, or by broad car
riage road that leads to the porte -cochcre,
and the place presents an appearance of
afluonce.
Mrs. Cord, who has so vigorously denied
Petcrson's statements anent her husbands
relations with other women. is according
to neighbor's description, a woman of
about fifty, of large stature and diEn1ed
bearing Her beautiful gray hair adds to
her distinguished appearance.

/ of tire house of tho murdered man, have
not the reputation in Laurel Springs Of
being especially friendly or hospitable.
AT the polls was about the only place
that my husband ever met Mr. Cord" she
ssiu, and even then his distant manner
was always the subject OF remark. Nor
has Mrs. Cord many friends here. They
did not seem to desire many friends, but
lived pretty much to themselves.
Naturally" she continued, the neigh
borhoOd is curious, but we do not put
much took IN this u-thc-case'

virtually every evening, and often is
wife would go to meet him. | have seen
them out together, too, many times, at
places Of entertainment, for instance, and
when they weren't out you could always
sec the light over I'm their living room and
both OF them there.
However. l will say that have heard
II whispered that because Of certain real
estate deals in which il is said Mr. Cord
always -got the better OF tho man with
whom he was doing business, he was
afraid to come out after dark, and that
has been given as the reason he has al
ways kept so close TO home. But OF

neighborhood gossip. naturally, is pretty
rampant at a time like this"

times logical and sometimes contradic-

mysterious murders the Camden authori-
ties have ever been called upon to solve,
have been battling and slim rather than
material"
In an endeavor to chat while with the
gentleman ! hied me to the Camden Jail
armed with a pass from the Sheriff but
I might have been a wild animal of pre-
historic species or the ghost of Samuel
Cord himself, judging from the way the
material witness behaved. I am sure
he suspected me of something deep, dark
and fearsome, for he backed away from
the grating of his cell, murmuring. Il
won't have anything to do with n woman:
! won't have anything to do with
woman"
Not to be discouraged, however. I asked
the newspapermen to take me up with
them for their morning confab. This they
did, but to no avail. Once more Peterson
ran away. Come back when she's gone"
he said in fright And so. my feelings
sorely hurt, l departed, and even If the
gentleman is a married man | feel GER
tain he's a mlsanthrope. Perhaps that's
one of the reasons he's so sure there's
woman in the case.
