A five day session in Paris is under

forth with the notes of bugle calls

the electric-light wires from the dis
tant station, where the high frequency

Conference to Draw Schedule

The sudden increase in the number
Of radio broadcasting stations in and
around New York City al Operating
upon 36O-meter wave, has produced
a serious situation, which may develop
into troublesome interference. This
fact is Realised by the ope-ators of the
statio1s in question. and there is a
possibility that a conference will be
held during the coming week to solve
the problem caused by the stations.
In all probability some schedule will
be evolved at the conference whereby
all Of the stations can operate during
the day without interfering with each
other. AT the same time 1t is expected
that the large commercial proadcasting
stations which have been IN operation
for some tune will be given prefer
ence in operation.

Many OF his relatives live in Stam-

Lieut.. Riley was twenty-five years
Of age and welcomed his assignment
TO the Roma for trainingS On the way
down to report he wrote a letter to
his brother here in which he ex-
pressed his joy. He had spent six
years abroad, preceding his eighteenth
birthday, with hts uncle. Edward
Riley, a New York insurance broker.
He studied In many schools abroad
and then returned to this country and
finished his preparations for Yale at
Sufleld School. He WAS a member of
the class OF 1920 at Yale, but left col

Maryland and remained there until
he was ordered to the Roma a month
ago.
He will be buried on Sunday at
Stamford, the services being held in

Mrs. Blackiston said although

been established definitely:
First, that tho left rudder of the
Roma gave way when she was less
than half a mile from where she went
down near the army base fire station.
Second, that there was no fire on
the ship until after the tilt began.
Third, that tho craft became un-
manageable as she swooped over the
base reservation, narrowly missing n
lbO-foot Smokestack of the central
heating plant.
Fourth. that the immediate cause
OF the explosion with such force as
to wreck tho entire craft and set her
on hre was contact with S act OF
220-volt high power electric wires,
less than 100 feet from where the
Roma crashed into a pile of debris.
Fifth, That the Liberty motors,
which were being tested, were not
responsible for tho disaster, unless
something more tangible should be
learned than appeared to-day.
The point which the Army Board OF
Investigation, which will be organized
to-day, will decide Is what caused the
rudder supports TO give way.
There were two pilots in charge of

HOW THE POLICE WERE PUT
ON THE TRAIL.
David S. Meyer, a real estate op-
orator who was present at the "rob-
berry, party with his youthful nephew
T.. M. Lazarus, and who lost $50 dur
ing the performance, put the police
on the trail of Taber. Mr.. Meyer haS
been made suspicious because no pre-
tence had been made of robbing Tabel
and by learning when he ran 20 his
automobile to pursue the supposed
thief that his own automobile hac
been disabled while that of Taber haC
not been molested. He was also i'm.
pressed by Mrs. Robertson's inability
to find her revolver at first, and the
discovery that when found 1t had ap-
parently been put out of order delib.
Orately.
NJ. Meyer also remembered he had
at first declined Mrs. Robertson's in
vtation to dinner. and only accepted
after she had telephoned him impor-
tunately three times.
