When ne starts for the office she

When he arrives at the Office. she

When he appears 20 enjoy his
food she trembles lest he die from
indigestion when he refuses food

for the aspirin.
When he crosses the street she

Power originating
miles away will
annihilate armies,
By EDWARD NJ. THIERRY.

NEW YORK. Aug. 90. - Wireless
transmission of power will be the
next astounding and revolutionary
development of sciencel
This is the promise OF NikOla Tes-
la. famous electrical engineer and in
ventOr-a promise he says will be
carried into reality within two years.
1T is not a mere vision said Tes-
la. in an authorized interview with
NEA Service. Il have perfected this
system in all details and can trans
nit power 10 any terrestrial distance
say 1900 miles, with a loss not
exceeding five per cent
Very soon such power will be
available everywhere for purposes OF
peace as we'll as war
We shall heat and light homes
and operate our factories by means
OF power generated from falling wa
ter and cheap fuel directly at the
source of supply and flashed to us
through space.
Trains Without Fuel.
"Airplanes and trains and ships
viii carry no fuel but will be run by
the transmitted energy. In , war
power generated thousands of miles
away will be applied with destructive
effects OF such intensity as to COM
pei a quick cessation of hostilities."
Tesla sees in hydro-el devel-
cpment the greatest possibilities. but
not to the elimination Of coal and
oil.
We shall have to depend first Of
all" he says. "on the energy of fuel
and next on that Of falling water.
We are bound to open up new
sources of power, for we have daily
evidence that energy is thrObbing
through space at-an immense rate
and ii is merely a question Of discov-
ering means for capturing It.
But no development of this kind
will be as important to the world
and conducive to peaceful progress
of humanity as wireless transmission
Of power.
What the world needs most at
this time is the adjustment of bar
riers that separate nations and the
harmonizing of interests. The wire
less art is the most effective means
TO this end"
Atomic energy Is not regarded by
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1922-08-21

! Tesla as offering great prospects in
power development. He calls this a
scientific Illusion" and says that in
disintegrating atoms so much energy
is expended that it Will not pay TO
liberate atomic energy for power
purposes.
In fact" Tesla continued most
of the speculations about radium. for
instances are without foundation.
The idea has been produced in the
public mind that the power of this
element is immense. But the truth
is that coal is trillions on trilliOns of
times more powerful.
"A piece OF radium will give off
tremendous energy at a low rate
through a period of 1900 years.
Similarly, one cent invested at
a compound interest of six per cent
for a term Of $500 years will yield
the fortune of Rockefeller multiplied
by the number of followed by 50
zeroes
But who wants to wait that long
eve want immediate results.
Wireless power can be made avail
able at once and in the most remote
places It IS Of great economic i'm
portance, but of immeasureably
greater scientific value.
Think of being able TO heat and
light a household, no matter how
distant or inaccessible, by merely
setting up a simple apparatus con-
tanned in a small box which can
readily be carried about.
Light bulbs will lost forever. be-
ing merely exhausted hollow tubes.
with wireless power no one-ex-
plOrers. travellers. campers-need be
cut off from civilization and its COM
forts
Who Tesla Is.
Tesla describes himself as an "en-
gineer and not a dreamer"
Backing his opinions is a long list
of discoveries and inventions, among
which his induction motor. wireless
transmitter and turbine are consid-
cred the most important.
His alternating system is In use
all over the world.
A tall man of lean and powerful
build. with scant black hair and pen
Grating blue eyes. Tesla at SIS has
an inhexible routine of long hours at
his laboratory.

BURGLARS LOOT ! LIPSEY RESIDENCE

Burglars who gained their en- trance to the residence of A. Lpsey. 2225 Arlington avenue, last night be- tween the hours of and Il o'clock made one of the most complete ''hauls" that has been reported to police headquarters this year, the loss being estimated at upward of 31,5o0. Detectives Hubbard and Riley answered the call but were un- able to find any trace of the burg lars. although they determined that their entrance was gained through the rear door.
 The most valuable article stolen, according to the owners, was carat and a half diamond, which was in a stud setting.
 The entire place was ransacked and relieved of all silverware and cutgiasH, also large portion Of china dishes, and domestic articles. The burglars ransacked the bedrooms and clothes chests, taking any ar ticie of value, that came within their reach A complete list of all the stolen articles was not available. last night.
 Detective Riley is confident that the intruders were fully two hours in completing their task. He Is also of the opinion that there was sev- eral of the burglars or else a horse and wagon or other means of trans portation for carrying away their loot was used.

Retail Coal Dealers
 To Hold Confer With Herbert Hoouer
By Associated Press

Washington, May 30.--A delegation headed by L. w. Ferguson, president of the Chicago Coal Merchants asso- ciatfon, will wait upon MT. Hoover early tomorrow, it was declared, to present a formal protest against any separate agreement being agreed upon.
 "our protest Mir. Ferguson said tonight. lis based upon the fact that at least 500,000 tons of the highest grade smokeless coal has been con tracted for delivery for the period ending March s1, 1923, on basis of S1.75 per net ton, f. o. b. mines.
 Some of this tonnage was con- tracted for as late as May 10, 1922.
 The proposed price means an in- crease of 100 per cent over contract price of 1coal at the mines and are much higher than the maximum price charged during the war period when production costs were at the highest peak We cannot see haw anyone can justify the proposed advance in prices which are based on lower production cost.

Resignation of Two Knights of Columbus
 Official Requested
By AssocIated Pres.

Des Moines, Ia, May s0.-Resigna- tion of two officers of the national organization of the Knights of Co., lumbus. Supreme Knight J. A. Fla herty of Philadelphia, and Supreme Advocate Joseph c. Pelletier of Bos- ton, was demanded in a resolution passed by the Iowa Knights of Colum- bus at the closing session of their annual convention today.
 The resolution follows.
 "Be it resolved, that whereas the conduct of the supreme advocate of the Knights of Columbus, Joseph C. Pelletier, has been complained of to the courts of Massachusetts, and while his case was pending before the supreme court of that state, James A. Flaherty, supreme knight, published a signed statement in Co., lumbia,' the official organ of the Knights of Columbus, to the effect that the court was being influenced by religious prejudice, we deem 1t right and proper that James A. Fla herty make public apology to the supreme court of Massachusetts and It's members for his attitude and statements expressed as his personal views and not those of the order. Representatives of the Iowa state council at the supreme council meet Ing are instructed to demand the im- mediate resignation of Supreme Knight Flaherty and Supreme Advo- cate Pelletier and to vote as a unit on all matters tending to remove these officers"
 The supreme counci; is to be held In Atlantic City in August.

 Antprofteering Law Epochal Departure

evil, the exaction of unreasonable profits in trade-which followed in the wake of the World war, and which prevailed in every part of America, as 1t did in almost every part of the civilized world, the act Is. nevertheless, in It's essential na- ture and effect direct challenge to those theories of persnoal liberty and freedom of action which ~underlie and permeate constitutional government ir America. It is. In short, a radi- cal and epochal departure from the trodden parts of governmenal action under hitherto recognized constitu- tional restraints and a bold excursion into the field of purely paternalistic control of the private business of citizens"
 The verbiage of the majority and minority opinions indicates that the opinion originally written for the ap- proval of the court was in favor of the validity of the act. The minority opinion, containing more than 30 pages, was written by MT. Justice Thomas, while the majority contain ing fewer pages was written by Mr. Justice Somerville. When Mir. Jus ,tice Thomas. to whom the case origi- nally was assigned, presented his opinion to the court. a majority dis sented which forced the reassign- ment of the case to member of the court which voted with the ma jority.
 The case came up from the crimi- nal division of the Jefferson county circuit court. where Judge H. P. Heflin had held the law unconstitu- tiopal. the view which prevailed with tho supreme court.

MT. Justice Somervllle, who wrote the opinion. expressed himself In those words while his conclusion was concurred in by four of the seven members ofe the court.
 One afternoon paper of Birming- ham ridieuled dispatches which re- ferred to the decision as one of the most momentous in 50 years. con- tending that the decision was of lit- tie importance. It is the first time in the history of the nation that a court of last resort has passed upon this question. The supreme court of the United States did invalidate the Lever wartime act, but on grounds which removed the necessity for a decision on the constitutionality of such legislation.

MAY HAVE NEW STATION

Gadsden, May 30.-(Special.)- )-The Southern railroad is seeking to pur- chase a five-acre tract of land in a central location of Gadsden, and as a result there is considerable specula- ton as to just what this road is plan hing. The party who Is negotiating for the road states that 1t is needed for the storing of crossties and lum- Der. The opinion prevails that the tract is wanted for the purpose of constructing a new depot here. It Is the opinion of many that the road will run through trains before long, especially as the T., A. & G. road is to extend to Odenville and there make connections with roads that will make 1t a strong competitor with the Southern for both passenger and freight business. The negotiations are being watched with a great deal of interest by the public here.
