No More Money To Be
Asked for Seamen Fund
Assistant District Attorney Says
He Has Ordered Collections
To Be SfOnned
To Be StoDpe'

Alfred J. Talley, chief Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, said yesterday that he
had ordered local officers OF fund
known as "America's Tribute to British
Merchant Seamen," the object of which,
said Mr.. Talley, was to collect $780,
100000 in this country, to discontinue
it's activities here. The idea of the
fund is said to have been conceived by
the late Lord Beresford.
Francis A. Deane, acting secretary
of the fund here, who called on Mr..
Talley, agreed to suspend the org1niza-
TONS activities, the Assistant District
Attorney announced. Mr. Deane and
Mrs. Maby Edmondson, associated with
him in the enterprise, were previously
questioned by Edwin P. Kilroe, another
assistant.
The fund had Offices in 665 Fifth Ave-
nue., the rent of which was $4,000
yearly, Mr.. Talley said. Deane said he
got an allowance Of $500 a week, while
Mrs. Edmondson was paid $50 weekly.
The payroll last week, according to
Deane, was s465. Deane said the fund
had collected only about $500 in this
country, while it had spent about
$4,000 for various organization pur-
poses, the latter sum having been
csbled from London, where William H.
Appleton, chairman of the fund.- now is.
The American fund is a subdivision
Of an English committee said to have
been authorized by the Seaman's
League of Great Britain. The inter
national committee, according to Mr..
Talley, aimed to raise $500, 100000

American ideals in an address to-day
before the first state convention of the
veteran organization in the Prudential
Building here. Seven hundred dele
gates representing 176 posts of the
American Legion in New Jersey were

"Those teaching America nism,
false gods, false doctrines, sediton,
treason and contempt of law" said
governor Runyon, must be stamped
out under the law at your direction
1--WE have room enough for the whole
world in this land, but we haven't room
for single disloyal man. You mus
see to it that we deport or do what
should be done for any soul, from
Maine to California, who stands as a
menace to those things for which you
fought and for which SO many of YOUR
fellows died"

and Clash With Upstate
Men at Rochester; No Ac-

SPectdt correspondence
ROCHESTER,. Oct. 1.-THE New
York State convention of the American
Legion finished its deliberations to-
day after clash between the upstate
delegates and those from around New
York Charges of attempting to Grail
road the convention were made against
the downstate delegations.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: state chairman. Russell f.
Sard. of Albany; first vice chairman,
Robert A. Greenfield, Of Wes' Ch SIC !;
second vice-chairman. James F. Goerke,
Of Kingston; third vice chairman,

delegates at large to the national con-
vertion. Ogden Mills, of New York;

NJ. Hart, of Rockland, and Paul G..
Burns, Of Oneida
After the morning session the dis
trlct caucuses were held and district
delegates and alternates we're elected.
Among the non-voting delegates chosen
by the First District were Theodore
Roosevelt. jr., and Dr. Richard Derby.
More than two hundred resolutions
and thirty bills now pending either in
Congress or in the Legislature of the
state were offered for consideration
during the afternoon.
The question of a bonus for ex-
service men provoked considerable ar
gument. The recommendation of the
committee was that the convention
favor referendum Of all state posts
on the question, the result to be made
public at the national convention The
bonus in question was to be a years
pay at the rate OF $50 a month for
al! men and women in the military or
naval service who served more than
one year and $50 dollars for each
month Of service for all those who
served less than one year and more
than two months.
strong sentiment was apparent in
the New York deleg alton against any
sort of bonus wb atcver. Others. felt
that the bonus asked was too small,
ard advocated $50 q month The de-
bate lasted two hours and finally a
resolution offered BY Hamilton Fish,
jr., of Garrison. was substituted and
passed. This motion has no rcferen-
dun feature and provides that the con-
vention go on record as favoring some
action of Congress looking toward the
granting of an equitable compensation
to al veterans OF the war honorably
discharged, the sum to be not less
than S for each month.
Another battle came un when the
committee reported its recommended
ton that no action be taken on the
question of a league of nations. A mo-
ton to omit all discussion of the
league was passed.
A minority report recommended alb
solute preference to service men in ap-
pointments and promotions, while the
majority report gave preference to
wounded men and recommended con-
sideration to veterans in civil service
tests The minority resolution was
substituted and passed.
Other resolutions passed favored de-
portation of alien enemies and slackers,

and Bell, in his doubt and despera-
tion, resolved to 60 to him for
advice. For an entire afternoon
they worked over the apparatus
and Henry told Bell that he was in
possession of the germ of a great
idea and advised him to continue
his experiments until he had ar
rived at a solution. For three
months Bell gave most of his time
to his invention, and in June, 1875,
the full twang of the clock spring
came over the wire. The tele-
phone was born, but it was the
youngest and feeblest thing in the
nation: it had not yet spoken a
word; it had to be taught, devel-
oped and made fit for the service
of the irritable business world.
All manner of discs had to be
tried. For forty weeks the tele.
phone could do no more than gasp
and make strange inarticulate
noises. In March, 1875, it talked
and on Bells 29th birthday he re-
ceived his patent, No. ia, ,465, the
most valuable single patent ever
issued in any country.
Two months later the telephone
was exhibited at the Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia, and
the invention was on view for six
weeks without attracting any seri-
Gus attention, when one afternoon
the judges were to make a special
tour of inspection. Bell was ner-
vous but confident. They had many
wonders to examine. There was
the first electric light, the first
grain binder, the musical tele-
graph, and marvellous exhibit of
printing telegraphs shown by the
Western Union company. They
arrived at Bells table at Z o'clock
and they were both tired and hun
CRY. One took up the telephone
receiver and looked at it blankly
and put it down again; another
made sighting remark, then a
marvellous thing happened. The
Emperor of Brazil entered the
building and after recognizing and
shaking hands with Bell, he took
up the receiver while Bell went to
the transmitter. It was a moment
of tense expectancy. No one knew
clearly what was about to happen;
then the emperor raised his head
and and exclaimed with a look of
utter amazement: my God, it
talks!" Next came Joseph Henry,
and no one could forget the look of
awe on his face as he heard the iron
disc talking with a human voice.
The mirror., 1919-04-17

Until nearly 10 o'clock that night
the judges talked and listened by
turns at the telephone, and the
next morning it was moved to the
judges stand, where for the re-
mainder of the summer it was
mobbed by judges and scientists.
and thus became the star of the
Centennial. Bell was called an
imposter, a ventriloquist, a crank
who says he can talk over a wire.
The very idea of talking at a piece
of sheet iron was so new and ex-
traordinary that the normal mind
refused it. People who talked in
to the telephone for the first time
had sort of stage fright; to do so
seemed an absurd performance, es-
pecially when they had to shout at
the top of their voices. Plainly
whatever convenience there might
be in this new contrivance was far
outweighed by the loss of personal
dignity.
The business world refused to
accept the telephone as an article
of commerce. Capitalists admired
but refused to invest a dollar. In
a moment of encouragement Bell
offered the telephone to the presi-
dent of the Western Union Tele-
graph company for 800, 900,
which they refused, saying that
they had no use for an electrical
toy.
The Western Union was supply
ing some of its customers with
printing and dial telegraphs, and
they thought these instruments
could never be displaced by the
telephone, and they continued to
believe this until one of its sub
sidary companies reported that
several of these machines had been
superseded by the telephone.
At once the Western Union
awoke from it's indifference. 1t
quickly took action by organizing
a company with three electrical in
ventors- Edison, Gray and Dol
bear-on its staff and cody claimed
that it had the only original tele-
phone. In a flash the telephone
ceased to be toy and became an
article of commerce, having behind
it the powerful Western Union
Telegraph company. With this
weighty endorsement the Bell
group soon found itself leasing
telephones at the rate of 1000 per
month. Theodore N. Vail was
now made general manager. He
had been in the government mail

STATE PUBLIC UTILITIES COM
MISSION TAKES UP FIGHT
FOR CENTRAL IDAHO
DISCRIMINATION IS ALLEGED
A. Urbahn Goes to Portland to Repre-
sent Grangeville in Hearing Be
fore Rail Committee

Alleged freight rate discrimination
against Grangeville and all towns on the
Camas Prairie road, as well as the city
of Lewiston, is to be taken up in pro
ceedings by the idaho public utilities
commission against the western freight
traffic committee of the railroad ad-
ministration, at Portland, Ore, on Fri
day of this week A. Urbahn of the
Miller Hardware & Implement Co., de-
parted Monday from Grangeville FOR
Portland, to represent local business
men in the fight for a lower freight
rate for Camas Prairie.
It is alleged that freight rates to
and from points on Camas Prairie, COM
pared with rates to and from equidis-
tant points in the state of Washing
ton, are discriminatory, and it is this
evil that the state public utilities com
mission and local shippers are DESTROYS
of eliminating.
Equal mileage rates out of Spokane
will, be asked for shippers, and a re-
adjustment of rates tnat will not be
discriminatory will be asked. Camas
Prairie has long suffered from exorbi-
tant freight rates, and within the last
year and a half the freight rates have
at an alarming rate.
