 Solicitor General Marion L. Fclts of this judicial circuit announced to- night that charges of murder will be preferred against Mrs. J. c. SagEus as an accessory before the fact in the alleged poisoning of Mrs. Mary walker saggus and Charles W. Will banks. Her hueband. pr. ]. c. Sag gus. is held in 3ail on charges pre- ferred by 6 coroner's jury of having caused the deaths of Mrh Mary Wal ker sagKus and wilbsnks.
 Solicitor Feits stated, however, that these plans are subject to change if developments so warrant. His pves- ent plans. he ssid. are to so befote the grand jury and ask an indict- ment for murder against Mrs Sag gus. s}
 Examine for PsisSn
 Coroner A W. Simpson. who had charge of the disiKterment, which was carried out in the presence of g brother of Dr. Saggus, Dr. c. E. Will lis and Sheriff Walker, plans to go to Commerce, Ga. and exhume the body of Mir. Wilbanks State chem ists In Atlanta will be asked by tho coroner to examine the intestines of the first Mrs Saggus and Mir. VII banks to determine whether they were administered poison, which tho coroner's jury charged caused their death and for which they held pr. Saggus responsible.
 Dr. Saggus, through his attorney. announced he approved tho action of the authorities in making q thorough examination of his first wife's body and welcomed 1t. He reiterated his innocence of the charges and said there was eothing against him but series of circumstances which have been magnified and enlarged upon in effort to discredit him and his present wife, tho former Mrs. Wilbank.
 Pending the result of the examina- ton, pr. Saggus counsel indicated they would make no move to obtain his release on bond.
 pr. SaGguss Statement
 Dr. Saggus in statement to news paper men today said his first wife and the former Mrs. Wiibanks. now the wife of the defendant. had been the very best of friends.
 s'I married Mrs. Wiibanks." tho doctor declared. s'becAuse loved her and admired her splendid qualities. Before my first wife's death. she and Mrs. Wilbanks were the very best of friends. were constantly together and were to each other almost as sisters. Before my recent marriage some of the subtle rumors came to me but paid no attention to them and do not see now why they should be made the basis for any such charges as those which have been preferred. 1t appears that as far as I can see it to be a matter of concern to no one. but my wife and myself and I regret that so much publicity has been given the matter which should con cern us and nobody elso."

AG0HNlhuCu aE5C OAANO feel myself remiss in public duty if did not ask decision before the present session Is finally ended.
 on spite of every drive toward
 economy, the plain, blunt truth ia tbat government skipping has
 cost the treasury more than 1ttty
 million dollars loss during the
 fIacaI year now closing. This
 does not include depreciation or
 deterioration, running into mil- Hons more. and we have n prac-
 ficaI problem which cannot be
 ignored by either the executive
 or legislative branch of the gov
 ernment, or by the American
 people of every section, who
 must supply the treasury funds.
 "Perhaps this venture in govern ment pursuit of what ought to be private business would be looked upon with complacency if we were making even a slight degree of prog ress toward a permanent and effici- ent merchant marine. But we are not succeeding. There is no fault to be charged to the shipping board as 1t is now organized. Losses ag- gregating sixteen millions month have been reduced to substantially one-fourth that sum. The reminder is not a criticism of what has de- veloped out of war service and war construction. Our first thought then was national survival.
 Two Great Problems
 we have, therefore, two outstand- ing problems which must be met, In the solution of which Congress must share the responsibility. One is the handling of our shipping assets to the highest advantage without con- tinued loss to the public treasury. The other Is the establishment of an efficient merchant marine. when op- portunity Is beckoning as never be- fore, as an emergency of commerce and an avenue to influence in peace, and an indispensable eleme ent of de- fense If we are again involved in war.
 'sThe question is not to be pre- judiced by the old and worn out cry against subsidy, If there is insistent use of a term so long employed to awaken 8 public hostility, let 1t be known that we are subsidizing to- day by paying losses aggregating 50,0O0,000 a year, for inadequate service of no permanence while the pending measure contemplates nc such outlay.
 "At the risk of excessive
 length. let me point out what I believe to be well-screened
 source of opposition to an out
 standing and confident American
 course in this matter. No we'll

 old world is craving the develop
 ment of our shipping. We cannot

 spirit, which always thinks of

Wilkinson, Seeking to Continue Proceedings,
 Loses Motion and Quits
(Continued From Page onel

(Continued From Page one.) point George R. Carter. who had previously not taken part in tho hearing. rose to his feet and de. c,ared that he also represented c.ients and would assist in the prose- cution.
 Solicitor Tate again stated that he would like to have Wilkinson assist him, but as ne had already retired from the courtroom and when Judge Hef- lin declared that he would not
 postpone the trial, Wiikfnson was eliminated from the con-
 troversy.
 After conferring with Attorney Carter, Solicitor Tate announced that the clients of Carter were A. J. Benton and J. W. Lane. This an- nouncement settled the question as to whether the special prosecutors would be allowed to participate and Hugo Black then presented his mo- ton, seeking dismissal of tho charges on tho ground that circuit court has no Jurisdiction.
 The consultation nor the sta-
 tues based upon 1t do not provide
 for the impeachment of conn
 missioner by circuit court, ae-
 cordin3 to Attorney Black. The
 lewaI way to fmpeach . commis-
 saoner, he maintained. is by trial
 before other members of tho
 commission.
 Besides tho plea as to Jurisdic-
 tior, the defense also demurred,
 claiming that the charges set up
 against the commissioners are
 not sufficient for impeachment.
 Argument on this point was not
 reached, pending decision as to
 Jurisdiction.
 When the motion for dismissal was presented by Assistant Solicitor Me- Coy and Attorney Carter. as the only one left to prosecute the case, de- clared that they were not sufficient ly familiar with the case to meet the petition of the counsel for the defendant and asked for a con- tinuance until today.
 In questioning the Jurisdiction oi circuit court. Attorney Black de- clared that he was adverse to de- laying or continuing in any way thd case as the commissioners were anxious. for trial but that he wal presenting the law as 1t occurred tc him.
 Judge Heflin complied with the re- quest of the prosecutors in the case and adjourned court until s:st o'clock this morning. The hearing was in Judge Greene's courtroom which was crowded to overflowing by interested spectators. not few being those who have held positions in the past with the city.

MEANS OF FORCING . RADIO WAVES INTO ! BEAM ANNOUNCED
Sen. Marconl Explains Latest Device In Radio Activity Be- 1 fore Body of Electrical
 Engineers
By Arunninsad Prnsa

New York, June 20--Senator Gu- Helmo Marconi, wonder man of wire less, tonight announced the invention of what might be termed a radio Eearchlight, by means of which radio waves, which can be reflected like light waves, may be sent in given direction in beam, instead of being scattered.
 The famous Italian said he be- lieved this invention could be util- ised to rid the sea of some ef its terrors, for with . revolving reflsc- tor. the transnitter would constitute 6 radio lighthouse. capable of fash lag guiding beams nearly a hundred miles.
 Addressing . joint meeting of the Institute of Radio Engineers and the American Institute of Electri- cal Engineers on his iateat discov- cries. the inventor said of the pro- posed radio lighthouse:
 By means of the revolving beam of electrical radiation. it is possible for ships, whom within a certain dis tance. to ascertain in thick weather, the bearing and position of the light house.
 ssTt seeInS to mo that 1t should be possible to design apparatus
 by means of which a ship could
 rndimte or project a divergent
 beam of the short wave rays in
 any desired direction. which
 rays, if coming across . metai-
 lie object. such as another
 steamer, would be reflected back
 to a receiver on the sending ship
 and thereby immediately reveal
 the presence and bearing of the
 other ship in fog or thick wealth.
 CT. One further greater advnn-
 xage of such an arrangement
 would be that 1t wocid be able to
 give warning of the presence t.nd
 bearing of ships, even should
 these ships be unprovided with
 any kind of radio"
 Marconi's radio searchiight bears little resemblance to the battleship searchlight. It IS rather special arrangement of wires on towers or masts.
 Exhibits RefIectors
 During his lecture Marconi exhib- fted pictures of reflectors. Through the use of these reflectors at both ends, clear speech was extinguished during experiments over distance of 99 miles, he announced. estab- fishing a record in long distance ra- dio transmission and reception with short waves.
 Marconi stated that tho ref1ectors make 1t possible for the receiver to reproduce a radio telephone song or speech about 200 times louder than is ordinarily possible. What is more, speech is transmitted practically without distortion. and the transmit ting aerial can be used both for sending and receiving at the same time.
 Tn these days of broadcasting. 1t may still prove to be very useful to have practically new system which will be to very large degree secret when compared to the usual kind of radio" he added.
 Travelling Waves
 Of around the-world wireless. he had obtained results which will go far to show the relative facility with which radio signals can now be sent

 Montgomery. June 2o.-(special.)-- Something new under tho sun de- veioped today when it became known that democrats have started fight among themselves for q political of flee in the republican county of Win ston. In days gone by Winston has always been looked upon as cer- tainty for the republicans. It has ai- ways elected a probate judge who was of the republican political faith.
 But tho impeachment and removal from office of Judge John s. Curtis by the supreme court Saturday means that q democrat will be given the po- sition.

 Marconi declared that when shora waves are used. disturbances caused by static can be said to be almost non existing. and the only interfer- ence comes from the ignition appa- ratus of automobiles and motor boats.
 ''IncidentalIy." he added, T might mention that one of these short wave receivers will act as an accurate device for testing whether or not ones ignition system is working all right.

Parents Quiz Gypsy in Vain
For News of Missing Glass Boy

the swarthv cypsies had all almost tal
lied with the picture Of her child which
she has kept fresh through the years

her day Of disappointment.
The Glasses left last night for a

strange coincidence the most doubtful
moment which Mrs. Glass spent In
her search yesterday came not when
she was looking over the children
found among the gypsies but when a
boy picked up on Staten Island in bad

her. At first her husband seemed con-

Mrs. Glass finally decided in the mega

with kidnapping cases which she has
