had promoted the Nassau Bar Associa-
tions allegations against the Justice be-

committee which has been hearing the
charges. The committee will then re-
port to the Legislature at the next ses-
sion. 1t has power to recommend i'm
peachment, a rebuke or exoneration.
Edgar T. Bracket, counsel for Justice
Strong, closed his case by saying that
the Justice would make no defense and
then insisted on reading a statement re-
viewing his side. He was interrupted
several times by long conferences of the
committee on the advisability Of allowing
him to continue. Mr.. Bracket asserted
that Justice Strong had been intimidated
in investigating Nassau conditions by
persons who feared personal injury from
the inquiry.
"Should Have Been Prosecution"
"The only criticism that can be made
of Justice Strong" said Senator Bracket.
was that he did not have the District
Attorney take action against the impu
dent person (meaning McWhinney) who
made this threat"
Mr.. Bracket also referred to the
statement OF James E. Stiles. proprietor
OF Long Island newspapers. that Justice
Strong would mourn the day he came to
Nassau county to besmirch the reputa-
tion Of almost every official holding pub
lie office" This. together with the Nc
Whitney threat, he said, showed the
motives behind the complaints Of the

Harry c. Perkins. counsel for the bar
committee. said McWhinney had made
only warning that any citizen Of
Nassau was at liberty to make to a Su-
preme Court Justice who had indiscrim-

In history to declare an invention
Of his own to be without practical
value.
He has given up work on radio
control, on which he holds the
earliest patent, and says that while
its is a scientific success it is a
practical failure.
Admiral Fiske worked out the
principle of wireless coptrol Of
torpedoes in 1897. the year before
the Spanish-American war, when
he was a lieutenant. He beat
Nicola Tesla to the patent by a
narrow margin. Since then John
Hays Hammond, jr., has brought
radio control of moving objects
to a high degree Of workability.
Hammond told Universal Serv-

eventually to control simultane-

Fiske, in an exclusive interview
for Universal Service, took an op-
posite view.
Although the two foremost Am
erican authorities on radio con.
troll do not agree as to the prac-
teal value of radio control, the
elder inventor greatly respects the
younger's work. He testified for
Hammond when the latter's in.
venuons were before the Senate

says he can do a certain thing
wouldn't bet against it," said
Admiral Fiske, but I have be-
come satisfied that while radio
control of vehicles is a scientific
success it will prove to be Of no
real value either to the navy or
on land.
When you come to control
plows by radio, 1t can be done
all right, but it will result only
in saving the labor Of one man,
and at greater expenses than the
cost of his labor"
