Treaty Is Opposed
Until Development
Of Port Is Fixed
Board of Estimate Adopts a
Resolution Urging Action
on Comprehensive Plan
Before Agreeing to Pact

The Board of Estimate, in executive
session, yesterday adopted resolution
drawn up by Corporation Counsel Burr
in which opposition to the proposed
port treaty is voiced. The stand taken
is that comprehensive plan for the
development of the port should be con-
sidered and approved before the pro-
posed treaty is entered into. The reso-
luton states:
"While the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment is impressed with the
necessity for cooperation between New
York and New Jersey to develop the
port and to that end is ready immc-
dlately to consider any comprehensive
plan having that for its object. the
board is fully convinced that adoption
of such comprehensive plan should pre-
cede the proposed treaty granting vast
powers for all time to the port author
lty to be created.
The recommendation is made that
the existing New York-New JERSEY
Port and Harbor Development Com
mission be continued so that as q re-
suit of studies it is making it can pre-
pare the comprehensive plan for ex-
ANIMATION, together with compre-
hensive statement of ways and means
to carry it into effect.
1t has been said that the Estimate
Board resents appointment of COM
mission to control the port in prefer
ence to the board. Further credence
was added to this through the in
clusion of the following in the resolu-
ton:
"New York has for many years been
engaged in development of the port
through its Dock Department and
Sinking Fund Commission and has
made great progress since 1871 in

full communications that may be car
ried on simultaneously without dis
turbing one another.
Mr.. Alexanderson, who is also in
ventor of the high frequency alternator
that revolutionized long-distancc wire
less telegraphy, then gave to the instl..
tute a detailed technical description OF
the apparatus Describing the tests
made with it he said:
can experimental barrage receiving
set was operated for several months of
the summer and fall Of 1918 about
three miles from the New Brunswick,
N. j., radio station.
at was found that in spite of the
overwhelming intensity Of the New
Brunswick signals on an unbalanced
so adjusted that the transmitted wave
could be made entirely inaudible and
signals from Canarvon, in Wales, easily
read This adjustment is very easy to
perform even by an inexperienced op-
orator and is perfectly stable after 1t
has been made.
"a rather surprising characteristic
was discovered by the use of the bar
rage receiver. 1t was expected that
this receiver could be used to neutralize
signals from all directions except the
direction close to the signal to be re-
ceived. AS a matter of fact, it was dis
covered that interference could be neu-
tralized, originating in the same direc-
ton as the signal.
Signals from San Diego, Cal, right
in line with the transmitting station,
could be received without great reduc-
tion in intensity, while the set was adj
justed so as to neutralize the trans
hitting station. This phenomenon is
comparable to the focusing of q field
glass on nearby and distant objects. In
this case we have radio field glass of
dimensions the focusing effect is sutfi
cient, even at considerable distances, to
produce an effective discrimination"

At special meeting of the tenants
of the Langhorne Apartments, $50
Riverside Drive, last night, it was an
nounced they had won their fight
against their landlord, the Bcrgmill
Holding Corporation. The corporation
had sent word to the tenants commit
tee earlier in the day that it had de-
cided to withdraw the demands for an
increase in rent of from DO to 70 per
cent.
In order that mono of the fruits of
the victory might be lost the tenants
appointed another committee to wait on
Senator William Copeland Dodge, of
the Goth Senatorial District, asking him
to Introduce bill which would protect
tenants from the present apparent lax
ity of leasehod rights.

That Is What a Subscriber

Details of Two Astounding
War Inventions Made
Known by Alexanderson

Two war inventions that have revo-
lutionized radio communication and
made transatlantic wireless telephony
possible were disclosed last night by
Ernst f. W Alexanderson. He is con-
sulting engineer of the General Elec-
trio Company. He read technical
paper before the Institute of Radio En-
gineers in the Engineering Societies
Building, in West Thirty-ninth Street.
The first invention gives to wireless
telephony the same efficiency as the or
dinary telephone. 1t enables the user
to interrupt the person he is talking
with without manipulating any appa-
ratus. 1t will make it possible in the
early future for a subscriber to con-
verse with another subscriber in
Europe while using the ordinary tele-
phone installed in his home. He also
will be able to speak to friends on
ships in midocean.
The second invention-known as the
"barrage receiver'-eliminate any in
reference from other subscribers and
enables the same aerial to be used for
sending and receiving irrespective Of
the amount of power used for the for
mer purpose. 1t also makes multiple
wireless telephony possible without
limitation.
Can't "Hear" Steam Whistle
Describing the development of these
inventions, Mr. AleXanderson said:
"The object was to provide means for
neutralizing the overwhelming inten-
sity of the transmitted signal, so as
to make the receiving set sensitive to
the faint impulses of tn distant signal.
Popularity speaking, the corresponding
equivalent in sound waves would be to
have an ear which could be so adjusted
that q person could stand close to a
steam whistle without hearing the
whistle and yet hear person speaking
from distance of few hundred feet.
A ccessful solution of this problem
was found
During the war the same problem
presented itself in a form which called
for new solution. Distances are only
relative, and steam whistle located in
Germany might make such noise that
it would completely drown out both in
England and France the sound OF the
voice calling from America. To find
way to counteract such a contingency
was seriously considered by the inter
Allied conference in February, 1918,
and appeals for a solution were con-
veyed to me by the French representa-
tive in this country, Lieutenant Pater-
not.
Explains "Barrage Receiver"
"The solution of this problem,
which was adopted by the American as
well as the French government after
the first demonstration. has become
known S the 'barrage receiver This
name appears appropriate. because the
word 'barrage' has not only the mill
tary meaning but also the original
meaning of toll or 'stoppage preven-
tlon.' Thus the 'barrage receiver may
be used not only in time of war to
counteract the offensive barrage of an
enemy radio station, but it may be
used to multiply the number of peace

WATCH COTTON
ACREAGE, SAYS
COUNTY AGENT

Now is the time for the farmers of
Sumter County, who so solemnly
pledged a reduction of at least one
third in the cotton acreage this year,
to redeem that pledge, according to
George o. Marshall, county farm dem
onstration agent, who was chairman
of the cotton acreage reduction meet
ings. Mr. Marshall has just issued a
statement to the farmers of Sumter
county, which says:
BE Ye Steadfast' is the slogan of
Bradford Knapp, Chief of Extension
work in the South, to the farmers of
the South. He is speaking with ref
erence to the campaigns waged to re-
duce the 1919 cotton acreage All the
talk will be Of no avail unless the OBJ
ject is actually accomplished. Pledge
cards have been signed throughout
Sumter county to reduce cotton acre
age; the month of April is the month
to make good those pledges. To re-
duce cotton and grow more feed stuff
is the only plan that will make South
ern farmers permanently prosperous.
prosperity depends almost entirely
upon well balanced, permanent sys-
tenn of agriculture with the eternal
cotton gambling cut out. Every farm
of whatever size should be on a self
supporting basis, and then supply
Southern towns with food products
from Southern farms.
Grow sufficient feed for livestock.
There are hogs going on the market in
Sumter county to-day, and have been
for two months, weighing from sixty
to one hundred and twenty-five pounds
which If little less cotton had been
made in 1918 and little more feed
stuff, could have been marketed weigh
Ing over one hundred and sixty-five
pounds, grading No and bringing
the top of the market. With just
that much less cotton the cotton mar
ket might be more satisfactory to-day.
A few good rules to follow would
be as follows:
A home graden for every farm
FAMILY and for as many city people as
practical
The production of corn on every
farm sufficient to maintain the family
and the livestock.
Produce hay and forage necessary
to supply the livestock on the farm
Plant velvet beans in all corn, also
plan soy beans, COW peas, and pea
nuts for feeding purposes
Produce the eggs and meat, and
keep good milk COW on every farm
Produce cotton on a moderate acre
age SO as not to be dependent on it's
price for an automobile and tractor"

ANOTHER ROBBERY
Mexican Bandits Took Pay Roll of Oil
Company-Action at Washington
Expected

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Urgent
representation by the state department
as to the result of the attack on Ameri-
can sailors in a small boat of the monitor
Cheyenne near Tampieo July 6, was ex-
pected by officials here to bring action
by the Mexican government.
No reply has been received early to-
day from the commander of the cruiser
at Tampico, which was instructed Sat
urday by Secretary Daniels to make a
full report. This report was expected to
develop the character of the band which
held up and robbed the sailors while
they were on official duty.
| First accounts of the incident refer
| to the assailants as bandits. Secretary
Daniels said that if additional forces
were needed to go to the Mexican bor-
der they would be drawn from the At
! lantic fleet.
A despatch to the state department
today from TampicO said bandits had
robbed the Atlantic Refining Company $
oil loading station at Turto Lodos near
Tampico of about $4,000 last Wednes-
day. The sum was intended for the
payroll.

SHANTUNG STEAL
DISCUSSED AGAIN
Senators Lodge and Borah Will Not Ac
cept Williams's Version of
the Deal.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The senate
debate on the peace treaty was renewed
today with a sharp controversy among
Senators Williams, Democrat, and Lodge
and Borah, Republicans, over the Shan
tung settlement. Senator Williams
charged that the Republicans in recent
addresses had submitted erroneous sta
tisties regarding Shangtung but both
Senators Lodge and Borah denied this
and Senator Lodges reiterated that
while Japan secured territorial control
over Shantung ports the German rail
road and other concessions transferred
gained her practically control over the
entire province Senator Borah asserted
that the practical effect of the Shantung
provision was to deliver both political
and economic sovereignty over the
province to Japan.
When the debate began Senator Jones
Democrat, of New Mexico, offered 6
resolution which would request the for
eign relations committee to open to the
public all its sessions at which tn,
treaty was considered. except such a.
were in the committee judgment
