KIDNAPPED BECAUSE.
HE WON SENATOR'S
DAUGHTER, HESAYS
English Hero Charges
Private Detectives
Abducted Him.

BLOOMFIELD. y. J.. May g.
Capt Alec T. Robertson. a young
EnElishman who was one Of the
first hundred thousand" and serv-
ed with distinction through the war.
has come to the fore with a story
much like that told by August
Probst. the country club butler who
asserted he Was kidnapped bS pri-
vate detectives because the dauch-
ter of Pittsburgh millionaire had
fallen in love with him.
In Robertson's case. he says. he
was abducted" by detectives be-
cause Of his reciprocated affection
for the twent--one-year- old daugh-
ter of United states Senator.
Promised to Pay His Expenses.
John F Ellis. arrested here on
Robertson's complaint, is at liberty
on $4,000 bail awaiting the action Of
the grand jury. He is said to have
been in the employ of the Burns
agency until a few weeks ago. and
Robertson accuses him of having
.,een one Of three operatives who
took him from his aunt's home in
Bloomfield the night of April 90
last.
Ellis and his companions. Robert
son asserts. told him that his cN-
penses would he paid if he agreed
to leave America and that if he re-
fused he would find himself in seri-
Gus trouble with the law.
The young woman in the case,
whom Robertson says he met when
he was seeking entrance to the Uni
versity Of Texas last year, is now
said to be a student in an exclusive
seminary in Washington.
Was sheIl-shocked.
Mrs. P. A Andrews. of Newark,
y. j.. aunt of Capt. Robertson,
stated that her nephew was stop
ping at her home when he was
mysteriOusly kidnapped on April
%, by two men who represented
themselves as being Federal Of
ficers. Robertson accompanied the
men fearing his aged mother would
hear of the trouble.
Robertson, who served in the
artillery. was severely she'll
shocked in 1918.
Following his arrest, it is
charged. Robertson was taken to
Boston where plans were made to
place him on ship headed for
Buenos Aires, Argentina. As Rob-
ertson is a British subject and the
proper passport vises could not be
obtained. he was taken to New
York and offered compensation for
his inconvenience. He then found
out that John F. Ellis was not a
Federal officer but ia the employ
OF Burns Detective Agency, he
charges. Robertson then entered
suit for false arrest.
Robertson is a student in Dallas,
Tex.
1t is understood that the British
Embassy is in consultation with
consular authorities in Boston, and
has full possession of the facts.

RADIO CLUB HERE
LISTENS TO EXPERT
FROM MINNESOTA
More Accurate Methods
Of Rating Transmitting
Stations Urged.

More accurate methods of rat
ing transmitting stations. the es-
tdhlishment of central community
broadcastins stations and greater
Gre on the part of amateur radio
spark operators were recommenda-
tons made last evening by e. NJ
Jansky of the University OF Mime
sofa to members of the Radio Club
" Washington.
Mr.. Jansky stated that the usual
power rating given a Transmitting
tube by manufacturers was not
sufficiently Informative. because of
the power dissipated in the plate
circuit. 4 sample tube rated at 5
watts actually dissipated 90 watts
experiments with four army +
tubes it was found that with a
plate potential Of $50 volts and an
input Of l46 watts, the power out
put to the antenna was 93It watts
The plate energy loss averaged Is
watts per tube.
hlSh Hlate voltage.
For operating at maximum eff
cheney" said the speaker, 1T Is
best to keep the plate voltage
high. The efficiency of c. w.
transmitter is the ratio OF watts
in the antenna TO watts from the
generator. or output divided by in
put. This takes into consideration
all but the telephone output losses.
The limiting factor of the output
Of a particular transmitting set
is the temperature at which the
tubes may he safely operated. II
curves are plotted of plate. voltae-
ard plate current. respectively, the
product of these two factors (the
curve ordinates) will,give the power
IN watts 'dissipated at the plate
II the plate voltage is maintained
constant there will be a maximum,
output at the antenna.
Resistance Phone Factor.
illustrating his talk with
hook-up used at the University of
Minnesota, Mr.. Jansky showed how
adjustment o fthe plate lead along
the aerial inductance effected the
input and output of the circuit and
explained the fact that to cut in
more inductance decreased the ef-
ficiency but increased the input and
output factors of this particular cir
cult. Greater resistance phones are
another factor in securing maximum
efficiency.
Touching on the growth of pop
ular interest in radio the speaker
showed maps and data tracing the
development of radio spark dump
ed wave) and radiophone (con-
tinuous waVe) transmission. Curves
We're shown indicating the irregular
results of spark transmission at the
present time as compared with con-
tinuous wave transmission.
Urges Sane Usage.
Data was collected at the Uni
versity of Minnesota continued Mr..
Jansky, TO determine the effect OF
weather conditions on dependable
transmission. 1t was found that. in
general, transmission is best along
lines of equal pressure throughout
the states and that high pressure
areas are not good mediums for the
transmission of radio waves.
Mr.. Jansky, who was a delegate
to the recent radio conference here,
expressed the desire that radio
spark stations be more considerate
of the hour and power used for
transmission: that the craze to
caver distance give way to more ef-
fort in maintaining regular COM
munication with particular stations
and that amateurs be given the
consideration they deserve in the
assignment of wave lengths and
operating limits.

TROUBLE IS IN SIGHT FOR HAYS
 WANT FILMS TO BE PURGEC

CHICAGO, March 29-A plea for the elimination of cigarette smoking by women in motion pictures, except 9s the accompaniment of discreditable character was made in resolution adopted by the Board of Managers O. the International Anti-CigaTette Leage which forwarded resolutio n to former Postmaster General Will H. Hays, who entered the picture industry upon his resignation from office last March 4.
 MT. Hays was urged "in assuming a position in the picture industry to use his efforts to obtain early and univer- sal action in accordance with this sug gastion."
 The appearance of cigarette smok- ing, says the resolution, "of late a growing habit among women of recog- nized responsibility among high school and college girls, threatens the ele- ment of womanhood that must mother the American of tomorrow"

I'M MIGRATION

Congress has enacted an emergency immigration law.It will regidly restrict immigration for one year. In this in terval Congress plans to work out and adopt a new law embodying a perma- nent policy.
 For fifteen years Congress has been developing step by step, sound pol icy for the regulation of immigration It has been increasingly selectivc policy-a policy for the exclusion of seriously diseased, fragrant, immoral. dangerously radical, and very recent ly, wholly illiterate, individuals. It has also, for forty years, excluded Asiatic labor fairly effectively.
 In spite of increasing restrictions which, however. have been only i'm perfectly administered, immigration grew to vast proportions during the decade before the war, especially from the countries of North, East and South Europe.
 The present three per cent law which provides that qualified immi grants who may be admitted from eacl European country shall not exceed : per cent of the foreign born, resident in the United States as shown in the census of 1910, will expire in 1923 anf in the meantime congress will frame a permanent measure.
 The principals which should charac terize the permanent immigration pol icy of the United States must be such as to safe guard our national eXistnnc~ and government. The immigration nar- mitted should be regulated and select ed both in quantity and in quality. No more immigration should be admit ted of any nationality than we can wholesomely assimilate and in a req sonable length of time, wisely incorpor ate into our body polite.
 The effect of immigration on Amer ican standard of life, labor and wages must be closely watched. No more i'm migration should be admitted than can find steady and useful employment.
