living at II south Valley street, drowned
his sorrow in, drink at having natura-
Iization papers refused in district court,
with disastrous results. /. 4...
After Smaltz had told Thomas S.
Griffin, naturalization examiner, that
the White House was the upper branch
of Congress, and each state sent 348
senators to Washington the Examiner
asked that his case be continued until
the May term in order to give him an
opportunity to learn the fundamentals
Of government.

pressed state of mind and did not
again come into public notice until
nine hours later when he, was found

police were notified and Smaltz brought
to the station where it was discovered

come to the United States in 1902.
He went to North Dakota first and
two years later to Canada where he
proved up on a claim and became a
Canadian citizen In 1910, he left
Canada and removed to New Ulm. He
is ncw employed at the brick yard.

ACTORS DEMAND PAY
FOR CONCERTS HEARD
BY RADIO AMATEURS

NEW YORK, March 11-Apprecia-
tive but non-paying wireless amateurs
who have been sitting at home and
listening to world famous entertainers
face an edict of the Actors Equity as
sociation that such performers must
be paid for their work
Announcement is made that the
council of the association has ruled
that the radiophone is competing
with the theatre and that those who
talk or sing in, the transmitting ap-
paratus must be compensated.
In the last few months there have
been numberless free concerts, free
stage performances, free lectures and
other features supplied to the owners
Of radiophones. The ether waves car
rying these entertainments have been
picked up hundreds, even thousands
of miles distant by receiving sets
which are as common as homebrew
outfits.

.RUFUSAL TO PAY i. S.
DEMAND IS UNLIKELY,
SAYS HIGH OFFICIAL

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Refusal
by the allied finance ministers to meet
the demands of the United States for
reimbursement to the extent of S241,-
100000 for it's expenses in the Rhine
land occupation prior to payment OF
reparations would be most eXtraor-
dinsry procedure it was stated today
by a high government official.
This official, who was discussing the
newspaper dispatch from Paris to the
effect that the allied finance minis
ters, to whom the demand for REIN
bursement was presented yesterday
were inclined to refuse it, declared the
obligation of the allies to award the
American government sufficient funds
to cover expenses of American troops
in guarding the Rhine was an obliga
ton of the most sacred character
The American government, it was
added, was not inclined to believe fol
a moment that the allies would deny
the rights accruing to the United
States.

LITTLE OPPOSITION
IN HOUSE TO BONUS
BILL, IS INDICATION
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE re-
ported intention OF Chairman Fordney
to call up the bonus bill on March 20
under suspension of the rules indi-
Gates that the opposition to 1t in the
house will be feeble. To pass bill
under suspension of the rules requires
a two-thirds majority.
A cloakroom count, 1t is said, shows
that the bonus bill will ride through
the house in the form recently an
nounced by Fordney by ten to one
vote.
Although President Harding has
withheld his approval of the bonus
plan which the ways and means COM
mittee has written into the bill there
are not many Republican members
who believe he would veto the mea-
sure. in the event it ever reaches him.
There appears to be more doubt
as to the attitude the senate will as
sumo toward the Fordney bonus bill
than the reception 1t would receive
from the president. 1t is said that the
senate is now inclined to withhold
action on the bonus question as 1t
has done in the case of the tariff mea-
sure. Senators Watson and New OF

Robbery was declared to be the mo-
tive in the history of the many SINH
lar robberies in Kentucky. The first
detachment of eight bandits captured
government guard some distance
from the Moore plant, and, using him
as a shield, advanced upon the dis
tillery, where they covered two other
guards with pistols.
Meanwhile the county authorities at
Harrodsburg had been advised that a
raid on the distillery had been planned
and three officers left for the scene
They were met by the second de-
tachment of II bandits and forced al
the points of pistols to surrender.
Gathering up four citizens who re
side near the distillery, the band
joined their comrades at the distillery
where the 10 captured persons were
trussed up.
Telephone wires had been cut, and

sition not entirely consistent with the
traditional policy of the American
government

SAYS RADIO WAVES
MIGHT PASS THROUGH
EARTH, WATER EASILY
(Rv Associated Press,

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, March IL
Under certain conditions radio waves
might travel more easily through the
ground or the waters of the sea than
through the air, it was said today by
DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz, chief con-
sulting engineer of the General Elec-
trio company.
He said he considered well founded
the supposition that recent perform
ances of low power radio sending ap-
paratus in transmitting messages to
surprising distances gave an indica-
tion that the radiations peculiar to
wireless transmission pass with equal
ease through the earth as through the
ether.
Such radiations he said would be in
accord with accepted electrical laws,
as the ground, to which both the send
ing attentae and receiving set are con-
nected would act as a return circuit
for the current. In like manner he
pointed out that water might serve
as a medium for radio conversations
between ships or between ships and
land.
Wireless telephony, it was said by
associates of DIR. Steinmetz today, had
been revolutionized by the successful
performances of the duplex transmit
ters, completed early this week when
conversations were held between New
York and passengers aboard the
steamer America at the time dis
tance of $50 miles at sea.
The duplex telephone enables land
lines to be linked in with the radio,
SO that one might talk over his own
home telephone to persons far at sea.
Heretofore such a link was impracti-
cable because it was necessary to turn
switch from "send" to receive" in
the radio apparatus each time the
speaker became the listener.
