RADIO EXPERIMENT
ABOARD A TRAIN is
PROVING A SUCCESS

San Francisco, Dec. 9.-The first
experiment with radio reception on
q transcontinental train, which is
being made by the Southern Pa
eific company on its Overland linn
tied, which left Oakland yesterday
for Chicago, is proving q success.
According to messages today from
the train while it was at Sparks,
Ney., the radio picked ur message
es from points as far distant as
Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Portland, Seattle and Kansas
City. Messages could be heard
clearly.
The messages received by the
train came more sharply on the
grades than on the lowlands and
could be heard as clearly In the
tunnels as elsewhere.
The advisability of retaining the
radio on transcontinental trains
will be considered by the company
as soon as the overland has finish
ed the experiment.

MARRIAGE CEREMONY

DECLARED ILLEGAL

Albany, n. Y, Dec. "a mar

tion today placed upon the domes-

new General Newton. Thc words
"in the presence" as contained in

a constructive presence, the attor-
ney general holds.
1t is an essential that the Wit

mediately at hand. as it is that the
contracting parties to the marriage

NEW TARIFF ACT
CRITICISED BY
A BERLIN PAPER
Effects Are so Far Reaching
as to Be EquaIIed Only by
the Versailles Pact, Is AS
Sertion

Berlin, Dec. 9.--The effects Of
the new tariff law Of the United
States are so intense and far reach
ing as to be equalled only by the
"monstrous disturbing powers" OF
the Versailles treaty, declares the
Allgemeine Zeitung.
The custom barriers erected by
America, says the newspaper,
leaves only q limited opportunity
for countries requiring imports
from the United States to pay for
them in exports to America.
Coupled with the general desti-
tuition of Europe. this could mean
nothing other than 4 passive trade
balance for every European coun-
try. If the oft-eXpressed wish of
the United States for "the recovery
of the unhealthy economic world"
were really in earnest, the new law
would have presented an entirely
different appearance.
IN any case" adds the Zeltung,
1T is very sharp, vet unfnrtu-
nately double edged weapon whose
point must ultimately be directed
against their own people"

Ev0L UT|ON, NOT
COUNTER REVOLT,
HOPE OF RUSSIA
Gradual Change by Orderly
Process Will Save the
Country, Former Govern
or of Indiana States

Washington, Dec. . (by the As
sociated Press).-By Il gradual
change through the orderly pro-
cesses of evolution and not By
counter revolution will Russia
emerge from her present condition,
declared former Governor James
p. Goodrich or indiana, speaking
here tonight before the conference
on public opinion and world peace.
An official government investiga-
ton of conditions in that country
was made by Mr.. Goodrich last
year.
"Out of the present unfortunate
situation a settled responsible gov
ernment shall emerge" he de-
clared. ut will be q democracy
and not an autocracy either Of the
czar or the proletariat,
''The peasant never did accept
communism. He is by instinct,
training and tradition, individual
istic and capitalistic. The peasant
saw his surplus crops taken away
year by year and nothing given In
return, save q receipt by the Off
Ger taking the grain.
'When he asked for clothing he
was told they had none; when he
wanted implements for his farm he
received nothing and when he
called the village doctor, who was
to serve him free, he could get
him only by secretly giving him
food"
The peasant failed to produce a
surplus under this condition and
the soviet government, confronted
with q food shortage, established
private property and free trade in
May, 1921, Mr.. Goodrich said.
"The s. vernment created state
trusts to take charge of the lead
ing industries IN the hope of rails
ing the efficiency of the workers"
he continued. THE trusts rapidly
are losing money and a situation is
approaching where disaster is in
evitable. A swarm Of middle men
has arisen, operating between the
trusts and charging commissions Of
from 20 to 80 per cent.
"The government now is seeking
to take the last step of the eyolu-
ton or the industrial life. 1t pro-
posed to invite foreign capital to
invest in industries, the govern
ment to name three directors and
the secretariat, capital to name
three directors and the manage
ment. and the government to name
the seventh director in case of dis
putes.
when they learn that foreign
capital will not come in under the
idea OF mixed companies, then and
not until then will Lenine and his
associates surrender the last YES
tige of their communist principles
and go back to a capitalistic basis"
