BOSTON, June 29.-"Free energy" is
no longer the secret of Garabed T. X.
Giragossian. This law of physics
which the stockily- built Armenian Sci
enlist says he evolved during twenty
seven years of experiments carried on
IN laboratories, machine shops and
third floor rear tenement rooms was
revealed by him to-day to five scien-
lists. These men were selected by
Secretary Lane, of the Department Of
the Interior, in accordance with the
provisions of Congressional resolu-
ton calling for all official test of the
Garabed principle.
A thrice sealed envelope speeding
toward Washington tonight contains
bed, as the inventor calls his machine,
is practical fuelless power producing
principle, it is not too much to say
that America controls the destiny of
the world. for free energy means that
ships can be driven without f,fel, mu-
nitions transported without cost and
almost without effort.
Its discoverer has always stopped
just short of telling what it is, but
from 2 o'clock this afternoon until 6
tonight he was behind locked doors in
some laboratory in Boston explaining
all that he has learned in his years Of
study to the five scientists. Even their
identity is still a secret shared only
by themselves, Giragossian and Secre-
tary Lane and a representative of the
Secretary
The last named was Judge c. Finney,
of the Department OF the Interior, who
came to Boston to arrange for the off
cial test. He did not. however, attend
the demonstration, or rather the ex-
PLANTATION. The inventor returned tired
and worn tonight to the Brookline
residence of Professor John O'Shea, a
musician, whose guest he has been
for some time.
To queries as to the success of the
test, where it was held and the iden-
tity of the scientists. Giragossian shook
his head negatively.
My secret now belongs to the gov
crnment, to the United States. 1t isn't
mine to talk about. l have told all to
the scientists. l don't know their YER
dict If it should be yes shall go
to Washington and demonstrate the
principle by driving a train or a ship
with free energy. Beyond that l do
rot know.
"One of the scientists said: 1T is a
great principle; thousands and thou
sands of horsepower can be developed
positively without fuel of ary kind
II proved to them to-day that Cara
dream. That is all Congress and Sec
retary Lane wanted. Now they know,
and America possesses the means of
getting unlimited power without the
necessity of using any of her man
power to dig coal or refine gasolene
or generate electricity.
"The men who learned my secret
this afternoon would not tell me that
was successful. They would not tell
said: 1T is astounding and another
was convinced within fifteen minutes
and wanted to suggest ways in which
improvements could be made. Should
l not believe that these great men of
science believe Garabed is real?"
The old man showed his keen dis
appointment at being forced to await
announcement from Washington, but
he pointed out that he offered his Sc
cret to the country and if there was to
be any announcement it should come
from Washington.
II don't know what their verdict will
be- he said, "but know that Garabed
is all that l ever claimed it to be. The
men of science tr to find where
made a mistake They found no mis-
takes. looked for their objections to
the natural, physical laws. They Of
fered none.
II want Garabed to be a success for
America. England would send war
ship to America to-day to take me back
there if I would give them the secret.
Giragossian declared very forcibly
that while he demonstrated the force
he made no effort to apply it to ma
chine this afternoon.
"But whenever they at Washington
ask me to-" he sa u, ~ can make cold
machinery spring to life"
