washington. oct. Whether
"Garabed" is the most marvellous
scientific discovery of the age, des-
tined to play great part in Win
ming the war for America, is TO he
investigated by a committee OF sci
entists approved by the Secretary
OF the Interior. The Senate today
passed resolution, already adopted
by the House. authorizing the inquiry
and Guaranteeing Government pro-
tectien OF the process.
"Garabed' is something discovered
or invented by Garsbed I. X. Gira-
cossiau. an Armenian inventor, VI
Boston. who believes he has the Sc
cret Of taking from the air 8 mys-
terious power which will drive air
planes or battleships.
Giragossian, without revealing his
secret, made tremendous impress
sion upon members of the Senate and
House who heard his plea for an in
vestigation and then urged it upon
Congress. Senator James, chairman
of the Patents Committee, submitted
the resolution to-day with the eX-
PLANTATION that he did not know
whether there was any foundation
for the confidence of those who be-
lieved the invention might end the
war. but that many great inventors
had been laughed at and that he
thought Giragossian should be given
an opportunity to make good.
Former Speaker Cannon. who in
the face of ridicule years ago forced
through the resolution for testing
Prof. Langley's flying machine, sup
ported the resolution yesterday.
Despite President Wilson's warn
ing that the country must not sit back
and wait for an invention, Washing
ton is excited over the new power
system that will. if its inventors
claims materialize, revolutionize war
fare overnight and end the conflict
as suddenly, with America victor
ious.
Here's What II VIII Do.
Here are some of the things he
says it will do:
Drive a battleship any distance
without stop for fuel.
Propel an airplane around the
world.
Give an airplane strength to car
ry thousands of pounds of NUM-
tions.
Enable an airplane to wear ar
NOR heavy enough to turn any anti
aircraft guns missiles.
Send torpedoes at greater speed.
Practically double the speed of
steam engines.
Other than to state that his sys-
TEN of utilizing free energy is as
revolutionary as Frank'in's discovery
of electricity, Giragossian has not
publicly described his theory So
radical are his assertions that they
would be dismissed with a shrug
and a smile had he not, in the &C.
cret demonstrati lions. backed up his
statements.

to have the right to use it for any
