When Patrolman Michael Murphy
yelled, Gull speed. Stop for nothing,' y
in the car of Meyer Schrciber, driver
of a five-ton truck, at Second Avenue
and st. Marks Place last night after
the crushed form Of nine -year-old jo-
truck, Schroeder knew that patrolmuu
truck driver decided to drive as he had
never driven before.
The Fischer boy had been playing
near his home, at 125 Second Avenue,
when he was lun over by an automo-
bile. The negro <lautfeur of the ma
chine, with the boy in his arms, had
rushed up to Schreibcr Just as the
truck driver was backing up to the curb
to deliver cans OF milk. Patrolman
Murphy arrived at the same instant
and aware that the boys condition was
critical had taken command of the situ-
alton. He told Schneider that the boy
had to be taken to Bellevue, that the
truck had to take him there, and that
NOlhlnS WAS 70 SJop thc TRUCK uilil IA
got there.
Schroeder was willing. The Negro
| chauceur, holding the injured boy
leaped up beside him and the trucl
i started mort hward in Second Avenue
Right after the truck starttd taxi
cab. in which was Patroman Murphy
Schreber's vehicle tore up the ave

and crowds falling back to clear tn
street. The truck TOOK the left of th
roadway. and as it raced northwar'
narrowly missed striking numerou
vehicles. Crowds on the sidcwall
watched the race.
At Fourteenth Street and Secon
Avenue, Schreiber, seeing a south
bound surface car approaching, de
cided to cross over to the llorthboun
tracks, and attempted to cross in from
of the surface car. Instead, the bl
truck struck the front of the car, shat
tered every pane of glass in it, an
threw the passengers in heap. Tha
finished the race for Schreiber. Pa
trolman Murphy, right behind in hi
taxi, leaped out, snatchcd the uncor
scious form of the Fischer boy frol
the negro, jumped into his machin

Armstrong Wins
alent for Feed
Back Radio Circuit
Opinion Of Judge Mayer Is
Confirmed hy Court Of
Appeals; Decision Impor-
SaYs 10 Users of Wireless
By lack Binns

HUt}2O EdltOf Ihe T1lbuNe
The United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals has just handed down de-
cision of far-reaching importance to all
forms OF radio communication. The
decision affects every wireless station
using vacuum tubes for transmission
or reception. The decision confirms
the opinion Of Judge julius NJ. Mayer,
which awarded priority of conception
and invention to f. II. Armstro for
the development of the so-called feed
back circuit used for regenerative pur
poses and che production OF oscllating
electrical currents. 1t directly affects
every radio broadcasting station.
The decision. which is final, is the
I outcome of lengthy litigation between
Mir. Armstrong. a pupil Of Professor
Michael I. Pupin, of Columbia Uni
versity, and DR.. Lee De Forest. inventor
of the audion vacuum tube. The opin-
ION was written by Judge Martin I.
! Manton and concurred in by Judges
! Henry W Rogers and John G.. Knox.
I The opinion, reads in part:
"The invention, though simple in
instrumentalities, is radical modih-
cation Of an instrument which was lit
! tie understood. The action Of the
audion was very basic and was not
understood in the art until Armstrong g
wrote an article in The Electrical
World,' December 70, 1914, and later
an article in the Radio Institute paper
in September, 1915.
"These articles demonstrated the nc
tion Of the simple audion dctector and
Of the feed-back audion as a detector
amplifcr and oscllator The thing
which makes valuable the feed-bact
circuit is that the amount Of fced-ba
and thc frequency Of the oscillations
depend directly upon the electrical
constants that is the induction ant
capacity Of the circuit-and not tn,
heating current or plate potential.
"The patent in suit is for a definite
electrical instrumentality, and differ
from the prior art.
"We think this excellent contribu
: tion TO the wireless art should be ac
corded the full scope which the cour
below gave it. We think the decree i
not too broad, but properly describe
= what the inventor conceived and TO
s which protection must be accorded him
