engineered the recent general strike.

In statement made to-day Mayor
Hanson said the people of Seattle
never make serious objection to the
candidacy of members of unions who
seek public Office as citizens of the

from the results that Seattle was not

to the Bolsheviki
"Thc labor unions tried to dominate
the city by an intimidating strike and
failed said the Mayor. "They then
sought to dominate the City Council
by making a class appeal for the cleo

Miscount Costs Boy Life
Playing ''Wild West" Fires
Fifth Shot Into Head

A miscount, the police believe, cost
Kenneth Comstock, eighteen years of
age, his life yesterday. With n chum,
Richard Maier, he was playing "Wild
West" in Van Cortlandt Park. He had
shot revolver into the air four times.
Then he laughingly pointed it to his
head and said to his chum "Well,
Dick, here goes"
The police believe he thought he had
shot the gun five times into the air.

Maier, who is thirteen, became fran

tell the story to Comstock's mother.
The Maier boys father, Richard
Maier, sr., was arrested last night on
the charge of having a revolver in his

lieve it was his gun the boys were play

Impressive memorial services for the

Engineers, formerly the 22d of New
York, were held by their comrades in
arms before TIE survivors of the regi-
ment embarked on the Leviathan for
America.
The quaint little Church of the Pa

France, was the scene Of the tribute
to those who made the supreme sacri-
fee, according to a letter received
from Private Robert A. Rutherford by
his parents, who live in Yonkers. His
letter follows:

church, built in 1864 and attended by
Napoleon and other famous men Of his

Reports Conflict on
H0W Long New York Can
Stand Food Blockade

The enormous amount Of food that
usually comes to New York by water
every day was cut down to almost
nothing by the harbor strike yestcr-
day. Lackawanna ferries, which have
not yet been affected by the walkout,
brought load after load Of produce
trucks to the city, but their capacity
was inadequate to supply the demand
Apart from them not a single boat
brought in food.
Authorities differ upon what effect
this tie-up will have upon the city
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture's market bureau said there
was no cause for alarm. Produce deal
ers, The bureau asserted, had so much
reserve stock on hand that the strike
had come almost as blessing. In
support Of this contention the reduc-
tion OF prices for apples, potatoes and
onions was cited.
On the other hand, e. J. Riley, head
Of the New York Central e. Hudson
River piers, at the foot of Barclay
Street, said there was not more than
forty eight hours food supply in the
city. Most Of the incoming produce
passes through Mr.. Rilcy's hands. He
said the wholesalers never have more
than two days supply in reserve and
that another twcntyfour hours would
see serious inroads upon these re-
serves.
Against this view of the situation
is set the opinion of John Glass, of
the fruit and vegetable division of the
Department of Agriculture's bureau of
markets.
"Dcalcrs Viii almost welcome the
embargo" he said. "They feel they
may at last be able to dispose of their
large surplus stocks, there is no
danger of increased prices. If present
stocks are not reduced the markets
will be flooded when the embargo is
lifted and withheld shipments pour in"
In the meantime produce dealers are
making desperate efforts to get their
wares to the city. The yards in New
Jersey are filled with cars of perish
able fooodstuffs, nut off fsom the New
York market by any route save the
overworked Lackawanna ferry. Ne
gotiations are now under way for the
manning Of Pennsylvania ferry boats
with crews from the Lackawanna
water front force, in order to expe-
dite the passage of food over this line
to New York. The Pennsylvania ferry
boats have room for forty trucks.
LackawAnna boats have capacity of
only eighteen.

Inventor Reveals
Secret to Nullify
Wireless Obstacle
Roy w. Weagant Tells of
Natural Law Discovery
and Naturalization of the
Static Currents in the Air

Roy W. Weagant described last
night for the first time in public his
invention to eliminate static intcrfer
ence in wireless operation. The in
ventor was speaking at joint meeting
OF the Institute of Radio Engineers
and the New York Electrical Society.
IL was the discovery Of Il new law of
nature, he sn.~, which made his invcn-
tion possible. Ca is chief engineer Of
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Com
pany of America.
1T was found" he said, chat static
disturbances were most severe in sum
mer and less troublesome in winter;
they. displayed a daily variation in
tehslty, being at minimum between
sunrise and noon and increasing very
rapldIy TO a maximum about sunset.
lIo'n tneh on remaining practically
constant until shortly before sunrise.
when the intensity fell off very sharply
to minimum"
He noted that accumulated experi-
ence had shown these static disturb
ances TO be more severe in locations
near or IN the tropics than in the tenn
perate or frigld zones and also that nt
any given location they vary from dav
TO day, in the same manner that tenn
perature VARIES
Mr.. Weagant said the solution of the
problem OF overcoming static Interior
ence followed his discovery that static
waves, instead of moving horizontally
IN space as do the wireless signal
waves, actually move in a vertical di-
rcction from Il source either overhead
or underfoot That the static waves
propagate at right angles to the direc-
ton of the wireless signal waves is a
new electrical principle.
Weagant invented new tyne of an
tenna or aerial wire for the rcception
OF electro magnetic waves which ut one
stroke did away with the need for the
huge steel masts used at all wireless
stations. The Weagant type Of antenna
Is placed only a few feet above the
ground and consists Of two rectangular
loops of wire separated, but in align
mcnt with each other.
Ihe static waves originating over
mead and moving carthward reach
both loops simultaneously, while the
signal waves, travelling horizontallv IIv
from a gwen direction, set into vbra-
ton, first, the loop nearest the direc-
ton from which the message is com
ing, and then actuate the second loon
IN other words, the static waves ar
rive at both aerals at the same in
stant, thus neutralizing each other.
while the signal waves arrive at the
two aerials at different times.
ny proper arrangement of cleo
trical circuits in the receiving instru-
ments located between the two aerial
loops, the "in-phase" static currents
are cancelled, while the out-of- phase
signal currents combine and remain in
the circuits operating the wireless re.
ceivers which record the incoming
message.
"The great barrier in the way of
practical and successful telephony has
also been removed" he said, "for
static has interfered with wireless
telephony to a much greater extent
than with radio telegraphy."

LUckaaUun1,n Ferries
Alone Running Of All

All the downtown ferry lines. with the
exception of the Lackawanna. were tied
up last evening. The Long Island Rail-
road, however, reported that it was
operating it's service on the East
Thirty-fourth Street line to Long ISL
and City. The Fort Lee ferry was also
running one boat on half hourly
hcadway up to late in the afternoon.
The crowds were so great that hun
Greds were turned back.
Downtown Brooklyn was hard hit
with the tying up Of the lines of the
Union Ferry Company, which include
the Hamilton Avenue line to the Bat
terry, tho Atlantic Avenue line to White
hall Street and the Fulton Street Fulton
Market line. They ceased running at S
a. M, when $50 employees walked out.
BY md-afternoon the only East River
lines in operation were the Long Island
Railroad boats.
The stoppagc of the downtown Brook

Navy Yard Jobs Restored

More than 1000 discharged soldiers
and sailors of this city have been saved
from the disheartcning search for en-
ployment by an order issued by Sec
retary Daniels to commandants Of

who joined the colors. 1t is estimated
that 10000 men throughout the coun-

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The resig-
nation of G.. Carroll Todd was TO sur
prise to his friends here. some of whom
are rather indignant that ne has been
passed over twice now when they
thought ne should have been promoted.
Mr.. Todd and Mr.. Davis, then solicitor
general and now Ambassador to Great
Britain. were both mentioned for At
torney General at the time of Mr.. Nc
Reynolds's appointment to the Supreme
Court bench. Mr.. Todd's admirers were
far from pleased when man under
Mr. Todd. T. W. Gregory, was pro
noted over his head. They were very
hopeful that Mr.. Todd would be named
to succeed Mr. Gregory when the latter
resigned q short time ago, and their
hope was based on some probability at
the time, according to several members
of the Democratic National Committee.
