Washington Man Really Was The Ffst
70 Demonstrate Possibilities of
Wireless Telegrapiy.

A dentist living in Washington. d.
G., invented. patented and de,uon.
strated wireless telegraphy before
Marconi was born. Had it not been
for the attitude Of big newspapers and
the stubbornness and lack Of vision Of
congress, this country today would be
enjoying the honor. distinction and
credit of presenting wireless telegra.
ply to the world. The name Of this
comparatively unknown inventive gen.
lus is Mahlon Loomts. Eack In the
sixties and seventies he eked out a
modest living By plugging molars and
rnaking "store" teeth for the politi-
clans and social leaders Ct Washing.
ton. Doctor Loomis called his discov-
cry "aerial telegraphy." His first pub.
lie demonstration was made In 1855
from the two peaks Of the Blue Ridge
mountains In Virginia, sorle 18 miles
apart. From each peak IN ordinary
kite was elevated, connected with an
Insulated copper wire attached at the
lower end to a telegrarhing appa.
ratus. The operators Of each party
were provided with telescopes. with
which they could sight from one sta
tion to the other and read the signals.
When all was in readiness a message
was sent. by the doctor along the wire
of his kite, and was received at the
station ON the other mountain top just
as though the two kites had been con-
nected with a wire In the ordinary
way. In this manner communications
were kept up until the fact was thor
oughly demonstrated that telegraphing
could be done as readily without as
with connecting wires.

LAWYER DECIDES
TO GIVE ANSWER
Weinberger Faces Trial BY House
Refuses ut Firss

E Washington, May Facing
trial by the house of representatives
on five separate charges of contempt
for refusing to testify before one of
its committees, Harry Weinberger,
of New York, one time counsel for
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the
Stacker, turned about suddenly to-
day and announced that he had de-
cided to answer any questions asked.
This acton on the part Of the wit
ness ended contempt proceedings,
but committee members said his tes-
timony was relatively of no value
whatever in the effort of trying to
fix responsibility for Bergdoll's es-
cape.
First challenging the right of the
committee investigating the escape
of a man not actually inducted into
the army, Weinberger launched into
a long statement, ending with a flat
refusal to say what the Bergdolls
had paid him, what he had paid 9th
er lawyers in the case, and what he
paid the late D. Clarence Gibboney,
chief counsel for the draft evader.
Later in the day, when he decided
to answer questions, he testified that
he got $4,000 in fees and paid none
of it to other lawyers. He knew
nothing, he asid, about the gold, for
the recovery Of which Bergdoll had
been released under guard. The law
yer explained that he had decided
to answer after learning that Mrs.
Emma C. Bergdoll, mother Of the
draft dodger had told the committee
how how much the proceedings had
cost.
Mrs. Bergdoll, under sentence for
aiding her son to evade the draft,
was summoned to appear again TO-
morrow because of her failure to
produce check book records and
other documents she had agreed last
week to submit.

DOG RELAYS CALL OF PHONE
WeIl-Tralned Animal Said Never to
Make 4 Mistake In Notifying


His -Mistraaa-
Not far from Boston lives a dog by
the name of Timbuctoo, a dog which
has never been trained but which OF
its own accord acquired a "trick"
which besides being clever Is decidedly
helpful. His home IS on farm, which
IS served by a seven-part:y telephone
line. The call at Timbuctoo's house
is five bells, or as the toll operator
would say, "Rlng five." Wherever his
mistress is when the telephone rings
Ave times ,Timbuctoo will 60 to her
and give FIVE short, sharp barks. He
has never been known to make mis-
take either by barking more or len
than five barks, or by calling his mis-
tress when the bell rings some other
call.
In order to "show off Timbuctoe,
his mistress asks a neighbor to call
her in few minutes, then she goes
somewhere out of range Of the tele-
phone, and Timbuctoo never falls to
give proof of his trustworthy sum-
mOping.

$4,000, 900 MEDICAL
CENTRE IN NEW YORK
Columbia University and Tho Pres'
terian Hospital Allied in
Stupendous Program

New York, May 1S.-The Worla
great medical centre is to be Great
ed in this city at cost OF S15,0O0,'
900 under an alliance formed by
Columbia University and the Pres
byterian Hospital negotiations that
have now been terminated after
eleven years. Work on a vast series
of new hospital and construction
buildings will be begun soon on the
site of the American League Base
ball. Park on Washington Heights.
Gifts for the realization OF this
dream of the two institutions for a
medical centre that will surpass
Vienna, Berlin or any other centre
in Europe came from various
sources and bequests. The donor at
the site is anonymous, but authentic
reports is that it was given by a
memeber of the Hardness family,
which amassed millions in Standard
Oil and it is reported also that
the family made the $1,000,0O0 gift
which is also listed in the official an
nouncement as being anonymous.
The bequest of the $5,ooo,oo0,-
from Joseph R. De Lamar has been
announced previously, and hints Also
have been made that $1,00O,OOO
each would be given by the Car
negie Corporation, the General Edu-
cation Board and the Rockefeller
foundation. These funds are forth
coming Immediately. !
Cooperating, the two institutions
will try to assemble on faculty and
hospital staff the foremost phyaci'
ans and surgeons of the world and
negotiations already are in pro-
gress with some of the ablest medl-
cal men of this country. It is pre-
dicted that the head Of this new in
stitution will be DR.. William Walker
Palmer, of Baltimore, who has chos-
en- a post at this new institution in
preference to the proffer Of a place
at John Hopkins as Professor OF
Medicine in the Medical School and
Physician in Chief of the hospital in
Baltimore. He was fromerly associ-
ate professor in the College Of Ply
sicians and Surgeons in Columbia
University. -
Obstacles toward the establish
ment of this great medical centre
have been almost insuperable, and at
least twice in the last six years pub
lie announcements, have indicated
that the working agreement between
the two institutions was ended. Each
time, however, tact picked up the
threads of discord, and the negotia-
tions were assumed.

Major General Reed and Command
or Russell are having no difficulty
controlling the situation as they

The first day of the program was

for miles surrounding Camden, are
leaving no stone unturned to see
tbat everyone of them are well en-

that ticklish feeling coming on and

LOSS SUFFERED
BY CHARLESTON
Economy Advocates Win First Bout.
Dry Docket Must Wait.

Washington, May 19.-Economy
advocates won the first bout in the
senate today on the s5Oo,Ooo,OoO
naval appropriation bill. After the
agreement yesterday by administra-
ton forces to support the Borah
amendment requesting the president
to call a disarmament conference,
attack turned today on appropria'
ton items and on the first test of
strength s1,Ooo,oOo was pared from
the bill. H. -.
Through a combination Of Repub-
Leans with Democrats the senate,
by vote of 80 to 81, cut the appro-
priation of $4,5Oo,oOO, recommend
ed by the naval committee for trans
portation and recruiting Of men to
$4,000, 900. On the next vote, how
ever, enough Republicans changed
to sustain the committee increase
from s7,5Oo,000 to $s,00o,00o for
navy yards and docks.
Another economy move was in the
adoption of amendments suspending
the Charleston S. c., dry dock pro-
ject until July 1, 1924. BY vote Of
40 to %, the senate adopted COM
mittee recommendation prohibiting
the dry:dock expenditures, including
dredging of channel.
The group opposing the commit
tee increases thereupon quit the hat
tie and a number OF the committee
amendments were adopted. They in
cluded appropriation of million
and a half dollars for development
of a submarine and destroyer base
at Guam; 100000 for the Sand
Point, Wash, naval air station
s1,000,000 for development of a
submarine base at San Pedro, Cal,
and $15,O0O,00O toward the con-
struction of two air plane carriess
to cost not more than $26,000,000.
Committee amendments authoriz-
ing the secretary of the navy to ac-
cept a tract of land from the city of
Los Angeles for use as site for q
naval submarine base and a tract
from King county, Washington, for
site for an aviation base were
adopted.
Committe recommendations to in
crease the cost limits of the battle
ship California, four other battle
ships and number of submarines,
now building, also. were approved.
The total increase amounts to ap-
proximately $12,000,o00. =,
The only extended speech of the
day was delivered by Senator Reed
Democrat, Missouri, who advocated
a strong navy, cable to meet all
comers' adding that Eve will
strengthen the hope of a disarma-
ment agreement if in the meantime
we continue a large naval building
