NOT HINDERING AMATEURS.
Radio Conference Really Intends to
Help Them.

Washington. D. C., Feb 2s Belief
on the part of amateur users Of radio
telephone apparatus that the radio con-
ference now in session was directed to-
ward restricting amateurs in their de-
yelopment OF wireless telephony, ok
pressed by Paul II. Cooley Of Cedar
Grove, n. y, representing the American
Radio Relay league, brought from Sec
retary Hoover at to-day's meeting a
vehement denial that the conference
had such purpose
MIR. Hoover declared whoever started
snch report was "maliciously fabri
eating" He asserted that the primary
purpose of the conference was for the
protection and encouragement of anna
teurs in the use of the new means of
communication.
The interference complained of BY
the various broadcasting concerns, Mr..
Cooley asserted, came from "eon-
glomeration OF commercial usage of am
indiscrininate character rather than
from the activities Of amateurs. and
was due largely to the type of appa-
ratus being sold by manufacturer.
Mr.. Cooley urged legislation restrict
ing the sale of types Of receiver sets
OF this character, and suggested a wave
length OF l25 to 225 metres for ANA
teurs.

ALLEGED FRAUDULENT SCHEME,
Worked in Burlington But Man is Ar
rested

Burlington, Feb. 2S.--Edwin Collins
who claims TO hail from Manchester,
N. IT,, was arrested yesterday by the
police and following severe grilling
was lodged i'll the Chittenden county
Jail, charged with obtaining money by
false pretenses.
Several local merchants were the vic
tim, of the clever line Of goods offer
ed by the Granite state edition of
Ponzi, who offred return of S240 for
a five dollars investment as lure to
secure money from merchants in this
and other cities of the state.
His scheme was to go to store as
an agent for the Point of Purchase
Advertising association, Inc, with
main office at York, Pa, and branch of
fees in many Of the larger cities of
New England and elswhere. Carrying
q small electric sign advertising the
products Of the Crystal Confectionery
Of this city, CoIliis offered
to furnish the merchant similar signs
for installation feet at the rate Of Ave
dollars for every ten signs to be in
stalled. The electric sings were to
burn four hours day and would be
furnished to advertise any commodities
which the merchant might select.
In addition to this, Collins would
give a contract from this advertis-
ng firm to pay the merchant the sum
of one dollar month for each sign
'or period of two years for the
privilege of having the sign displayed
n the store. Thus for an investment
# five dollars merchant would have
he advertising benefits of ten electric
igns, advertising as many different
,rands of goods, and in addition would
'ceive one dollar a month for each OF
he ten signs for two years, a total Of
i240 for the lot. One merchant paid
rs with the hopes Of obtaining ST20
