TUBE SET DEVISED

RANGE UP TO TEN MILES
New Plans Provide for One Sig

RANGE UP TO TEN MILES

Radio experts Of the Signal Corps
have just perfected a new tube trans

pet tanks which will handle both
telegraph and telephone messages
So successful was the recent demon
stration at Camp Meade with the
radio-directed tank which took part
in the fight of hill 2s5," leading and
directing its brother tanks, that from
thirty to forty new sets have been
ordered for the master tanks of the
Army.
The specifications of the new tank
equipment, known as S. c. Il. l4S
dual telephone and telegraph set. call
for strong and compact set of about
90 watts. which will Withstand the
jolting Of a tank in action over rough
terrain and preserve a good tone 1t
viii have range of from five to ten
miles.
"siEnal'' Tank for Each Group,
Plans of the infantry arm of the
service. which includes the old tank
corps. provide for one radio or "sig-
mar tank for each group of whippe,
tanks. which will serve as message
and control center for the group. The
signal tank will be equipped with a
siX-foot aerial. the ground being the
tank itself. Power for driving a
small generator will be derived from
storage batteries. A sound-proof
helmet with phones. such as air
pilots use, will be supplied for the
radio man, SO that he can hear, de-
spite the rattle of the mechanism and
roar of the engine.

Mrs. Hall Writes Letter
7OCOVernOr Demanding
Drastic Action BY State

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. a.
The letter written by Mrs. Frances
Stevens Halls counsel to Governor
Edwards yesterday denouncing Mid
dlesex and Somerset county officials
for their "bungling stupidity" was
merely a "smoke-screen to prevent
further investigation into the actions
of members of the Hall and Stevens
family Detective Totten of Somer-
set county, declared this morning
in an interview. He openly charged
that the letter was written in an ef-
fort to prevent further questioning
of members of the Hall family from
whom suspicion has not yet been
raised by the investigators.
Stung by the charges of 'bungling
stupidity hurled by counsel for
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, detec-
tives working on the Hall-Mills muir
der case struck back today.
1--WE have not eliminated Mrs.
Hall from our investigation and we
have no signs yet that we can do
so," declared Detective Totten, of
Som erset. Il have been saying all
along-why has Mrs. Hall retained
a lawyer to protect her?"
Lawyer Pfeiffer is on guard at
the Hall home and Mrs. Hall has
protection day and night" said De-
tective David, of Middlesex. why
is it?"
Reporters who checked up David's
assertion about a continuous guard
found it to be true. Timothy M.
Pfeiffer, Mrs. Halls lawyer, spends
the day at the Hall home. Miss Sal
lie Peters, close friend and conf
dent of Mrs. Hail. is in charge in
the evening. and throughout the
night a private detective retained
by Mr.. Pfeiffer. is on the job.
The explanation at the Hall house
is that the guard is to prevent fur
ther .'bunglfng stupidity"
Detective Totten declared today it
had been definitely established that
the double staying was perpetrated
between $3.50 and 10:15 o'clock on
the night OF September II. 1t also
has been established. he said, that
the slain rector's eyes were
closed when the body was found.
Much importance was attached to
this as an indication that some one
with a measure of affection for the
minister, took part in the murders.
The eyes of a person snot to
death invariably remain open with
them, Totten declared. The clos
ing of the eyes with other evidences
that the bodies were carefully laid
out after death gives strength, Tct-
ten believes, to the theory that a
jealous woman was involved in the
Staying.

that the only ordinance concerning
