BYRNES SUCCEEDS
ON HOUSE FLOOR
Second District Representative Has
Thirty Million Sent Back
to Treasury

The State.
Washington, April 24.-Represen-
tative J. F. Byrnes earned his salary
today. As result of his single handed
fight conferees on the part Of the
house and senate struck from the ap-
preparations bill in favor of the ship
ping board an item which would have
permitted the shipping board to make
use of an unexpended balance of $50,
100000. The original request of the
board was that it be granted an ap-
preparation of s1O0,00O,O00. The di-
rector of the budget, Gen. C. G.
Dawes, approved the request and then
the shipping board, in addition, asked
that it be permitted to expend bal
ance to its credit amounting to $780,,
100000.
Mr. Byrnes took up the fight at that
point. He argued that the request of
the board would circumvent a law
which required that all unexpended
balances be placed in the treasury,
and that the request was out of or
der. His point was sustained. But
the senate agreed to the request of
the shipping board. When this agree
ment was brought before the house
Mr.. Byrnes renewed his fight and
the house formally voted disagree
ment with the senate.
The matter at issue was the sub
ject of a struggle in conference. An
nouncement tonight that the con-
ferees had accepted the verdict of the
house gave Mr. Byrnes a complete vic
tory.
He has saved the government $780,
100000, it is pointed out, and has
more than earned his salary.

wireless and the radio, it will inevi-
tably lead to our having soon an ade-
ouate station. This station could be
utilized in giving the people of the
state information of the weather,
market conditions, and other facts of
great advantage for them to know in
their daily work and business. 1t
would also enable every possessor of
q small individual receiving plant to
"tap'' almost any source of amuse-
ment, from grand opera to the base
ball scores, or the progress of Sa-
vannah's war on invisible "Jazz." 1t
would give new variety and charm
to life.
We must have it.
And the first step is the awakening
of interest among hundreds and thou
sands of boys and girls in the little
home receiving plant that will be as
easy of operation as a phonograph
and as entertaining as barrel OF
monkeys.

will be for some years to come.

ALLEGED FORGERS
WILL GO TO TRIAL
Cases Against Three White Men te
Be Heard in Aiken Next

Be Heard in Aiken Next
The State.
Aiken, April 25.-Padgett, West
bury and Lyles, the trio arrested IN
an Augusta hotel following the pas
sage of forged checks on three Aiken
banks some weeks ago, and who, at
ter preliminary hearings, were held
for the grand jury, will go on trial
next week during the spring term OF
court of general sessions, convenlng
in Aiken next Monday. Of the trio
the two latter, Westbury and Lyles'
have been in Jail here since their ar
rest. Padgett succeeded in making
bond and is at liberty.
The trial of these men will attract
much interest because of the fact that
other charges of similar nature are
pending against them in various plac-
es in South Carolina and Georgia.
The Bank of Western Carolina, the
Farmers & Merchants bank and the
First National bank of Aiken were
victimized by two men who succeeded
in getting several hundred dollars on
skillfully forged checks. Westbury
and Lyles have been identified by
employees of these banks as the two
men who passed the checks and secur-
ed the money. Padgett has been lden-
tilted as having been seen in Aiken a
day or two before the checks were
passed and stands charged with con-
spiracy.
Judge H. F. Rice will perside at
the coming session.
A number of cases of Importance
are on the docket. H. P. Dyches will

L. Blease has been retained to assist
in the prosecution.
W. R. Denmore of Augusta, charg-
ed with fatally shooting Mrs. Hayes

ary, is also to stand trial for his life.

accidentally.

The Radios the Thing Today

The State.
This is the day of the Radio.
The Radio represents the 'last
word to the present, for there
will be far more and far greater
words-in electric science.
When one thinks, and one hasn't
the time to think, that only a COM
paratively few years limit the exper-
iments that have resulted in the mas
terry of the air as medium for trans
mission, the thing seems miraculous.
There are no miracles to science,
of course; for what it understands as
familira stuff today was cryptic mat
ter yesterday, and it is already busy
with trying to solve mysteries that
generation ago suppose insoluble, per-
haps entirely supernatural.
Even of the handbreath of space
between 1867, when Clerk Maxwell
announced the tremendous hypothe-
sis or theory that light is not mere
mechanical motion of ether, but is
composed of electrical undulatlons'
or "waves," and the present time,
twenty years were lost before the
great practical discovery by Hertz OF
what is now known after him as the
"Hertzian waves" These are, of
course, only the waves that had been
foreseen by Maxwell score of years
earlier.
Today, every American boy is
yearning to set up radio plant in
his fathers house, or in the barn, or
in his hat or pocket. 1t is quite pos
sible to set up plant inside your
hat or umbrella, or rig it up in your
auto, or carry it in your watch-pocket
If there is big station near you,
and if we had big central distribut-
ing plant, every house in Columbia
could rig up a receiver at nominal
cost of, say, $40 or S12. Boys of
some mechanical experience and abil-
ity could possibly fix up their own
stations for only few dollars.
The State began the publication
last Tuesday of series of seven artl-
cles on Radio, showing in the simplest
manner possible how to construct
your own radio receiving outfit. We
have now published, with today's ar
ticle, five of the series. Every boy
that wishes to possess this most mar
velous and delightful of playthings-
it is, of course, far more than that,
but it is that now and always-should
keep these articles. They will soon
come in handy, when we set up in
Columbia big receiving and distrlb-
uting station, which will put US in
touch with the entire country and,
with the entire world. The
articles are simple and progressive.
They begin at the beginning, and
demonstrate how to build your own
little plant at the lowest possible ex-
penditure of time, material and mon
ey.

DRAYTON ALLEGES
 RAW DEAL GIVEN
 HIM AT ANCHORAGE PLOT TO BREAK UP MEETING FRUSTRATED-TRAINS, ELE- MENTs AND OFFICIALS
 IN CONSPIRACY
Special to the Gateway

ANCHORAGE, April 15.-This city is filled with wild rumors of peculiar doings by opposition political factions to head off the fast growing Drayton sentiment. It is known that Drayton has reported to Secretary Fall that the train on which he was scheduled to ar rive in Anchorage Thursday of the nrevious week was cancelled to spoil his itinerary and make his miss en- agreements. Drayton has also demand ed that the Secretary of the Interior issue orders that employees of the Alas ka Engineering Commission may vote as their consciences dictates without fear of discharge or blacklist Galen is understood to have joined Drayton in this last demand. Drayton came In from a campaigning tour yesterday and addressed the Anchorage Women Club, his third speech in Anchorage.
 Rumors of plan to break up his meeting at the Empress Theatre last week, by having tough guy arise and insult him, caused mucn merriment and made many votes for Drayton. When tipped off as to what was to be attempted and asked as to what should be done to prevent the scheme, Dray- ton insisted that nothing be done to interfere with the scheme, but in ap- bearing on the platform it was noticed by the audience that he quietly placed a shiny instrument on the speakers s table This is now known to have been a long butcher knife.
 The insult stunt was not pulled off, and now the whole town is laughing. Drayton has refused to discuss the matter, bu tadmitted the thing had been planned and he had been warned and prepared himself.
 The local newspaper here is utterly ignoring the Seward candidate and is wildly clamoring that the raiiure 10 elect Sutherland will be fatal to the heads of the A. E. c.

ANCHORAGE, April 15.-Thos. B. Drayton, Delegate candidate, spoke to practically empty seats at the Empress Theatre Thursday night, following the usual picture show It is conservatively estimated that out of 600 patrons at the show by actual count only forty- eight remained for the commencement of Drayton's speech and less than 20 at it's finish.
 There is absolutely no truth in the report that the commission in any manner is hampering Drayton's candi- dacy. In fact, he is not taken seri- ously here. No truth in the report that Sutherland's friends tried to break up the meeting of in any way hinder his efforts. People here feel sympathetic for Drayton and countenance him as an act of courtesy. Sutherland will carry Anchorage and railroad camps north by handsome majority.
