WIRELESS PHONE
CRASHES ENDED
Has Perfected Receiver TO Over
come Static Disturbances,
Prof. Pupin Reveals.

The war must come 10 an end before
Michael I. Pupin, Serbian Consul Cen
eral in New York, will reveal TO the
world the greatest of all wireless
telephony secrets-how to overcome the
static disturbances in the air. 1t is the
fear that Germany may annex the
secret which is influencing Professor
Pupin to guard il so jealousy. With
his new receiver, il is asserted, a per-
son may talk around the world without
those crashes. like the rattle of mus
kerry. which interfered with the con-
versation OF Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels and Rear Admiral Usher less
than "A fortnight ago.
The announcement that Professor
Pupin had completed the invention
which wireless telephony experts have
been praying for since the first mes
sage was shot through the air from
Arlington to Honolulu came as a great
surprise to members of the National
Academy of Science, who met at the
American Museum of Natural History
last night.
Wireless telephony has been attain
ing success after success" said Pro-
lessor Pupin. But the greatest handi-
cap of all had to be overcome. BY that
term | mean the states of the air.
While we hear the crash of lightning
only occasionally, the air is practically
always full of those disturbances.
1.-THE necessity of making the con-
ductor sensitive to messages and 70 no
other electrical vibrations. such as
these static disturbances, became i'm
peratve. Working along the same
theory as the selective activity Of a
human. being, ! conceived a structure
which would make n possible to elimi-
nate these crashes Of the air. IL would
have TO be sensitive only TO the waves
we should wish 10 receive and opaque
TO all other vibrations.
"The crashes that we hear in talking
by wireless telephone are vibrations
higher in pitch and different from the
vibrations engendered by messages. 1t
wasn't at all difficult to exclude such a
class OF vibrations. Technically. we
might say that the problem of the
static resolved itself into the creation
Of an electrical structure which will
amplify a continuous message of dem
mite frequency, such as a man talking
from Washington to Honolulu, but
which would remain unresponsive TO
irregular electrical impulses"
The secret of overcoming static dis
turbances-in other words, the receiver
which Professor Pupin Is now con-
structing-will be presented to the
United States government gratis: A
demonstration OF this machine will be
held soon, according TO f. II. Arm

PR0-TEUTON PLOT CURE
SEEN IN SHERMAN ACT

Washington, Nov. -. - Handi-
capped by the lack of specific laws
to protect the nations neutrality.
the Department of Justice has turned
10 one of its old standbys. the Sher-
man antitrust act, and the depart
ment Is investigating alleged war
plots with a view to instituting
criminal proceedings under this
law.
The inquiry. Il was learned to-
night, Is directed particularly at
plots to cause strikes In munition
plants. The departments theory Is
that IL there Is a conspiracy 10 in
tnTfere with the manufacture Of
munitions, II Is conspiracy in re.
s:raint Of interstate and foreign
commerce.
Notices in foreign language news.
papers urging subjects Of Austria
and Germany to quit work in NUM-
ton plants are said to have been one
of many methods employed to bring
about these strikes.

S4O,OOO,OOO FUND
CALLED A MYTH
Bernstorff Courts Legal Action
on Goricar Charges, Says
Embassy Spokesman.
lFrom The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, Nov. l5.-Ambassador
Won Bernstorff's side of the propaganda
revelations made by Dr. Goricar, ex-
Austrian Consul General, TO "The
Providence Journal" was given TO The
Tribune tonight by one close to the
embassy. No official statement was is
sued by the Ambassador, who stated
that It was contrary to his policy to
reply to charges.
Every enc of Dr. Goricar's charges
affecting the German Embassy is specl-
fcally denied. 1t is stated further
that the object of THE Providence
Journal" which is described as a
"hyphenated British-American" paper,
is to force reply that will reveal the
real and legitimate uses Of German
money spent In the United States.
az saw in The Providence Journal
this morning. said The Tribune's in
formant, that Count Won Bernstorf had
spent s4O,OO0,OOO in the United States
in the last four months. That Is
large amount of money, and the Ameri-
can people ought to be glad to get It,
though. of course. il. is trifling COM
pared with the s500000,O0O recently
spent here by the Allies.
"Of course, we are not such fools as
to be led into an admission that we
have spent this money. The British
agents think we have, and they are
anxious 10 find out for what. We shall
not satisfy their curiosity, but can
say that any money Ambassador Won
Bernstorff or DR.. Albert has spent went
for legitimate purposes.
"The British Hyphen Providence
Journal detective service has had the
host men Pinkerton and Burns could
furnish on Ambassador Won Bern
storfr's trail for more than year, but
they have never got anything on him
and they never will. They know 1t, but
they don't know why. They think 1t Is
because he is too clever and they are
too stupid. They will have to admit In
the end that it Is because there Is
nothing to get.
"The wireless messages they produce
TO verify ,heir ridiculous charges are
intercepted by British agents. 1t IS
against the law TO intercept and pub
lish wireless messages addressed to
other people. and the United States
government may one day prosecute the
offenders. But, just remember tnat no
criminal would entrust mis- secrets 70
the wireless in plain language, and as
for code messages, every one of them
Ia translated by the United States CEN
sors from keys furnished to them.
81 personally hope, and know Am
bassador Won Bernstorff feels the same
way, that the Goricar and other
charges will lead TO action in the
courts. hope our enemies will try TO
prosecute just one case. lhen the
limited States will know what we know
already-just where all these absurd
allegations originate go
The Department of Justice will send
one of its agents 70 confer with Dr.
Goricar tomorrow, and hopes TO obtain
detailed information that will lead 20
arrests and prosecutions on charges OF
criminal conspiracy. The state De
partment has not as yet been ofhclaIiy
informed of the charges made by DR..
Goricar, and will not be until the EVIL
dence is believed to be conclusive
