"African Potentate" Rival Leader

New York Herald, Sept. 6, 1929
A human hand, severed just below
the wrist, and apparently that of a
negro, was received in the mail YES
terday by A. Philip Randolph, editor
of the negro monthly, The Messen-
ger, which is published at 1906 Sew

X. e., warning Randolph against his
writings i'll the magazine, and threat
ening to cut off his head and "send it
to some one else" unless he desisted
in some of his attacks. The package
bore the postmark of New Orleans,
and the sender had typed: "From a
Friend, New Orleans" on the address
tag.
The police of the West 135th
street station and the postoffice de-
partment inspectors are at work on
the case, and dispatches were sent
at once to the Federal agents in New
Orleans to attempt to trace the send

Randolph and his assistant, Chand-
Ter Owens, have been active in thoir
attacks against the Ku Klux Khan and
have also waged Il campaign against
Marcus Garvey, the self styled en-

been printed in "The Messenger"
ridiculing Garvey, and holding him

ridicule.
More than once during the last
few months Randolph has been
threatened that he would be killed,
he said, the most recent being at

Freedom, held on August 9th, a
Sunday afternoon, several hundred
of the Friends met to discuss the
subject, "Why Garvey Should Be De-

Anonymous letters have arrived in
large numbers from New York, Phil
adelphia and Washington threaten
ing Randolph, he says, but he has
ignored them. The receipt of the
package yesterday, however, is some
thing of a different matter, he says,
and he intends to see that the sender
is apprehended, if possible.
The letter, which was typewriter
rather badly on a machine which had
blue ribbon, read as follows:
"Listen Randolph;

writings. in all your papers for quite

A special meeting of the Friends
for Sunday afternoon at New Doug
las Hall and the whole story will be
threshed out at that time.
When a reporter for the New York
Herald called on Marcus Garvey at
his apartment at 1873 West 129th
street, to tell him of the receipt of
the jackage by his opponent, the
african Potentate" was sitting "in
a council" which he conducted in his
famous Chamber of 1000 Vases in
the luxuriously furnished apartment.
Large palm plants were all about the
room, which was virtually filed to
overflowing by vases and bric-a-brac
of every possible description and Pc
Rod design. When told of the pack
age and its contents, he said:
II know nothing about it, but I
can venture just about what the
whole thing is. 1t looks to me like n
good publicity stunt which Randolph
and Owen have pulled to get some
notoriety. They have been trying to
steal some of my own publicity for
long time, especially all during Au-
gust, when the thousands of my dele
gates from all over the world were

gist Of their lament:
First---A leading sport authority
has stated that Wills, while the lead
ing contender for Dempsey's crown,
is no match for the American champ.
Second-Chairman William Null
doom, of the New York Boxing Com
mission, has announced that he has
begun investigation into "Tutt"
Jackson's record.
Now, let's see just how far these
statements should 60. Of course, no
one takes the talk of the gentleman
from New York seriously. For those
who saw the fight last Tuesday night
are unanimous in their opinion that
Wills will give Mr.. Dempsey the fight
of his young life. And, again, Mr..
Dempsey must think that Wills is
somewhat of a panther" for he con-
tinually refuses-not in words, but
in actions-to be enticed to sit on a
three-legged stool opposite the
bronze adonis. And why? Just be-
cause he knows that when that fate
full day comes the championship is
likely, very likely, to once again
change hands.
This self-same man gives as an
other reason, that Wills cannot hit
as hard as Carpenter! Think Of it!
A man who can floor Norfolk with a
blow which travels barely six inches;
man who broke six of Fred Full
tons ribs with his Furnishing body
blows; a man who simply toyed with
Buddy Jackson and made him dizzy
when he got good and ready; a man
who fractured three of "Tutt" Jack
sons ribs and injured his spinal col
umn, cannot hit as hard as the 49,
pound Frenchman? These facts
should prove conclusively to any fair
minded sport the ambiguity Of the
statements of the Eastern sire.
Then again, he intimates that Wills
cannot "take it." Now, who has
proven that he can't? No one! Mr..
Dempsey, possibly, is the only one
who might be able to show the sport
ing world whether or not Wills can
"take it," but never peep from Mr..
Dempsey.
All you can hear from that august
gentleman, down east, is the gentle
refrain of $500,000. All he wants is
a lease OH the Treasury Department
Of the United States and a couple of
the government mints. But force of
circumstances might bring about a
llecCluS- ITO CfstlH lOau Oh
shekels either--and then!
About tho investigation.
Chairman Mulldoon says that he'd
have to investigate the record of the
Ohio youth. No one discredits that
statement. But Mr.. Mulldoon must
remember that it was the white
dailies which gave "Tutt" such q
wonderful play, with his enormous
reach of 80a inches, his royal height
and his wonderful height. These
papers were the ones that literally
showed Jackson into a fight with
Wills.
True, the accounts might have
been exaggerated. But did any com.
mission investigate the facts when
Carpenter, weighing little more than
ITO pounds, met the close to 200.
pound Dempsy? No, not one.
And fighter in the heavyweight
class must battle Mt catch weights
They say that "Tutt" was "novice,"
but ringside followers claim that the
defeated youth was clever, in a way

WHAT WILL DEMPSEYS
NEXT EXCUSE Be?
preston News Service.)

New York City, Sept. 7.-Harry
Wills, the Bronze Panther Of New
Orleans, with crushing right hook
to the jaw, after two minutes and
five seconds of fighting in the third
round of his bout with "Tutt" Jack
son, of Washington Court House, O.,
fame, indicated himself and firmly
established his position last, Tuesday
night at Ebbetts Field, flooring his
challenger for the count.
Exactly one week from the day,
when he disposed of Buddy" Jack
son in Newark, N. j., before an en-
thusiastic gathering of Elks, Wills
disposed of the other Jackson, and
thus practically swept away the final
barrier to a match with the present
heavyweight champion, Jack Demp-
sey. Followers Of "Fistiana" are
wondering what subterfuge the willy
Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey,
will resort to in futile attempt to
stave off championship bout be-
tween Dempsey and Wills.
Fight Must Be Staged.
And, inevitable as the coming of
another championship match, Wills
and Dempsey will meet. Just when,
where, how soon, no one, just now, is
in position to tell.
But Wills two recent victories,
while they can hardly be called SEN
sational, have certainly knocked all
competition out Of the way. The
public has been clamoring for Wills
to really show his class. He has done
this in no uncertain way. White
heavies would not meet him, so he
took the only colored men in his class
who showed that they had any rec
ords and disposed of them-yes, dis
posed of them so easily, in fact, that
the aftermath is rather amusing,
from mere readers point of view.
This leaves Dempsey with only one
course to pursue. Either he will
have to agree to meet withstand
soon, for the American public, what
ever else might be said of it, really
wants the best-or step down and
give his title to some one who will
fight. 1t is needless for him to travel
!. all over the country attempting to
meet set-ups, like the fat, diversified
Billy Miske, Bill Brennan, or the
rapidly-aging hunk, Jess Willard.
Boxing commissions will not stand
for 1.-THE cancellation Of the Labor
Day attraction having shown as
much.
Now They're Sinsin' EN-.
And now sport writer's are begin
ming to sing the "BIues" again. They
are trying to diseredit the fact that
Wills knocked out both his oppo-
nents-knockcd them into n cuckoo

have the experience. But the white
public was hoping against hope that
the dangerous Wills would go down.
Otherwise why such publicity?
Wills Still Waiting.
Having disposed of his opponents,
Wills is still, silently but vigilantly,
waiting for Dempsey to make a move.
And when Dempsey does move, then
he will come forward. Wills does not
want a fortune. All he wants is a
crack at the title. When will he get
it? The race waits in suspense.

fortunately in radio, pretty is as
pretty does, and it takes more than
any artistic appearance to do the
work.
Onesof the So-called advantages of
the cake is that high tension corona
losses are reduced to a minimum. If
the amateur is using undamped oscil-
lations, that is, using a vacuum tube
transmitter, he need not be concerned
about corona losses However, If a
damped or spark tranSmitter is used,
the cage antenna will be advisable.
Also uniform current distribution is
secured by the use Of the cage an
tenna. This is not the case with the
flat.tOp antenna, where the currents
are not equal, the outer carrying more
current than the inner wires. From
the foregoing II may be said that the
cage antenna is to be preferred to the
fat-top only because of the reduction
of the high-voltage corona losses and
because Of the uniform current distri.
button.
1t has been shown that antennae have
certain well defined directional char
acteristics. The one having the most
clearly defined characteristics is the
loop antenna shown in Figure Q.
In actual practice Il very satisfac.
tory type of loop antenna for recep-
tional purposes consists of eight turns
of No. l6 wire, spaced one-eighth, and
wound on frame 36 inches square.
The fundamental wave length of this
antenna is approximately 1870 meters.
obviously loop antennae need not
be square. They may be triangular,
circular, or any closed shape, and
their linear dimensions are not nee
essarily fixed. Due to their small
dimensions, the amount of energy
picked up by them is also small, and
therefore they should be used only
with several stages of radio frequency
amplification before the detector See
Figure 8, in which the loop is shown
with only detector
In the hook-up, l. is the loop anten-
ma, and forms the .inductance in the

condenser connected across the loop
terminals and is used to tune the loop
to the proper wave length.
A loop antenna In this manner has
extremely sharp directional character
stics and receives signals only from
stations in the plane of the loop. That
Is, the loop must be parallel to the
direction of travel of the wave sent
out by the transmitter.
Many good circuits have recently
been devised whereby loop antennae
are used with success in eliminating
static interference. This elimination
is accomplished partly by the small
linear dimensions of the loop and

can be fastened either 10 small post
or to n peg driven into the ground.
Due to the fact that the wires of
the umbrella-type antenna cover a
large area of ground, the capacity of
the antenna is very large. The total
inductance, however, Is only Il little
greater than that of the vertical por-
ton of the antenna.
The umbreIla-type antenna has not
found very wide field of application
in commercial or amateur telegraphy.
During the war ii was used to some
extent in portable army sets. Due to
its directional characteristics, which
are nil-or in other words, energy is
radiated equally in all directions-it
has found some favor with some high
powered commercial stations for trans.

one Of the most important appli.
