Members Of Italian
Cabinet Talk Of Plan
to End Fiune Matter

Paris, May 3.-The Italian cabinet
appears to consider that any over
lures should be on the basis of CIV
ing Fiume to Italy, as it is asserted
the loss Of the city to her might
cause an uprising menacing the gov
eminent.
One suggestion has been made
for solution by means of formal
recognizing of Italian authority
over the city, but leaving its ulti-
mate control to a plebiscite.
Some of Premier Orlando's
friends, according to advices, are
urging him to resign as the best
means of eliminating any personal
element standing in the way of
resumption of the negotiations.
The departure for Triest of Gen.
era1 Diaz, the Italian commander
in-chief, followed the receipt of re-
ports that the Jugo-Slav might make
a military demonstration to hold

High School Lad Has Radio
Picture Sending Machine
John O'Rourke Also Hopes
to Plan Device for
Exploding Bombs
by Wireless.

Installation of a wireless appara-
tus capable of sending and receiving
pictures is the next piece of appara-
tus that will be added to the large
wireless plant of John O'Rourke.
l6-year-old Central High school
electrical genius. Exploding bombs
by wireless is another feat that the
| youthful electrician hopes to accom-
| plish when the government removes
the ban on amateur wireless sets
upon the signing of the peace treaty.
Working together with Fred r.
Bullus, O'Rourke has built the larg-
est wireless apparatus permitted am
ateurs by the government and has
enlarged it by original devices until
it is able to receive messages from
Russia, Japan, France, England and
all parts of the United States and
Gambia.
Because of war conditions the
sending apparatus is under govern
ment seal, but messages are received
daily on the receiving pieces. A
bungalow is being built near his
home, 6406 Maple street. in which
his station will be installed
Fred Bullus, who has done cleo
trical work for eight years, is at
present engaged in perfecting new
detector, form of the Fleming os-
cillator, which will make recording
messages on tape practicable on air
ships. He recently returned from
service in France with the artillery
and also saw service in China dur
ing the Boxer rebellion.
Working with my wireless is
more than a hobby with me-" said
John. 81 am going to make it my
life work. / started about FIVE years
ago with receiving apparatus that
! built. l intend going to Boston
Tech when / graduate and then to
all the other schools that can teach
me anything about radio work"
O'Rourke is sophmore at the
Central high school. By working
in the evening he has earned enough
to pay for his apparatus, the bunga-
low tHdl is Doing Dulll ana Liberty
bonds besides. He is a sub-agent
for an electrical company selling
radio apparatus and has installed
wireless sets for amateurs.
He is planning on erecting a
station at the Boy Scout camp on
Child's point to communicate with
small set that he has been asked
to install in the Boy Scout head
quarters at Seventeenth and Far
nam. Plans are also being made to
erect a station in the high school
cadet camp. But unless the peace
treaty is signed, the sending ap-
paratus will not be allowed to be
installed.
Messages from the principal Eu-
ropean stations are received daily
as we'll as time corrections sent
from the wireless station at Airing
ton. Before the war it was pos
sible to transmit messages much
more quickly than by telegraph.
Besides being an expert along
radio lines, O'Rourke is familiar
with the operation of moving pic
ture machines and X-ray apparatus.

IVAN BOONE HEARD FROM

Mrs. Ivan Boone Of this city re-
ceived a card from her husband, who
has been in France since last Sep
tember, this being the first word that
the family has had from him since
he left Camp Merritt, on September
18th. The family has been much
concerned about him. naturally, and
have made repeated efforts to locate
him and to determine whether he was
wounded and in hospital, or If he
met a fate similar to thousands OF
other Iowa boys during the last days
of the war. At last comes word from
him, stating that he was at Nice,
France, and in good health. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the wife,
and the father and mother. were over
joyed to get this word and to know
that their loved one was safe and well.
The family is at loss to understand
where the boys mail could have been
sent for it is very evident from the
card which Mrs. Boone received last
week that he has been writing fire.
auently to his wife and parents, and
supposed, of course, that his letters
have been reaching their destination.
He stated on the card that he had not
had one word from the folks at home
since he left Camp Merritt on Sep
tember 10th, 1918.

A GREAT ADDRESS

Last Sunday evening at the Metho-
dist church a crowded house greeted
Bishop Lewis, and were thrilled as he
spoke of Seeing Things From The
other Mans Viewpoint" He spoke of
the change that is necessary in our
viewpoint, especially concerning the
different races, in order to understand
them, showing how largely we have
failed in this because we have sell
fishly looked at it from our Viewpoint,
He made his greatest plea for China.
and the Chinese, to which field he has
been assigned by choice by the Metho-
dist church. He has given his ALI to
that country. his children. his money.
and his life. The recent surveys
made in foreign fields have clearly
shown the expectant attitude with
which the nations are turning to the
United States of America, for help
and leadership. Among other things
he said that the best guarantee OF
safety in China, even among bandits,
was the display of the Stars and
Stripes"
At present Bishop Lewis is in the
States in the interest Of the Centenary
program No man is better fitted for
this great task than he. He has
special gift for interesting people in
religious things, and for securing
young people for life service, and few
men have been able to secure larger
gifts for carrying on the forward
movements of the church.

REMARKABLE RECORD FOR LOCAL
RANK

Last Saturday, March 1, was ban
ner day for the Delaware County
State Bank of Manchester. On that
day the total assets of the bank ex-
ceeded the million mark This Is the
first time in the history of the hank
that its assets exceeded that figure.
The total deposits on that day were
very near the nine hundred thousand
mark. This is the first time in the
history of Delaware County that any
of our banks reached the million mark.
This record is all the more remarkable
when it is taken into consideration
that Delaware County has many strong
and growing financial institutions.
