ATTORNEYS CLASH

After an all day battle between
attorneys for the defense and the
district attorney, Lawrence Camp

with the murder of Leslie Nichols,
were held to answer in the superior
court by Judge /. Mayfield, at II.
o clock last night.
All yesterday afternoon Joseph +.
Seymour Jr,, counsel for Campbell,
and Wilbur w. Randall, counsel for
Davis, waged constant warfare on
the testimony of witnesses brought
from Riverside County by the dis
trict attorney, and to the introduce
ton of evidence relative to Camp
bell g clothes which were found near
the scene Of the crime.
The crux Of the Dairie came at
o clock, and hinged on the introduce
ton into the records Of the steno-
graphic notes taken when Davis
md Campbell confessed in the Riv-
ersidc jail to the murder Of Nichols.
Attorney Seymour succeeded in hav-
ing them introduced for identified
ton but refused to have them in
troduced as exhibits or evidence, and
sought to have this action taken by
the district attorney. This Mr.. Ut
Icy refused to do, and the. arguments
waxed hot and furious.
Attorneys in Hot Words
The district attorney charged the
defense attorneys with attempting
to delay The proceedings and thiy
brought a counter charge from Ran
dali and Henderson that the dis
trict attorney was seeking to pre-
vent the proper cross examination
of witnesses. ~
AT times the hearing became far

charge, as the attorneys twitted each
other, or by their constant objee-
tions, lost sight Of the real reason
for the objection and had to have
their memories refreshed from the
court stenographer notes. 1t was a

Because telephone Jacks are widely
used in many kinds of radio sets, the
radio fan would do well to famillarize
himself with the various types. There
are five different styles, and as many

The Jack most commonly employed
is the double circuit. 1t is placed ebe-
tween the successive steps of audio
frequency amplifers, and when the
telephone plug Is removed from 1t the
next tube is automatically connected.
The double circuit Jack has four
springs, which are insulated from each
other and from the frame. Normally,
with no plug in it, the inner springs
press against the outer ones. In the

point of contact When the phone plug
is inserted the inner leaves are olsen

connection with the lower outer spring,
while the sleeve touches the upper

Radiophone Prove. Boon

Radiophone communication between
light stations In isolated territory has
been found very successful by the
lighthouse service, according to re-
ports to the Department of Commerce.
Complete stations were installed at
Cape Sarichef and Scotch Cap Light
stations, Alaska, in 1921, and after
overcoming some difficulties of opera
ton during the first year, due to burn
outs Of the motor generator and wreck
ing of one of the steel antenna masts
by storm, communication between
the stations has continued
The two stations are about seven
teen miles apart. Keepers at both sta
uons have mastered the code so as to
be able to exchange messages with
mail steamers and have been able to
communicate for distance of Go miles
by voice and 1856 miles In code.

stations consists Of type G. w. 93e

Coil, Condenser Wave
Trap Is Simple Affair

Wave traps are by no means new.
For several years they have been used
in various ways. but curiously enough
few broadcast listeners have made use
of them to eliminate the most frequent
interfering conditions.
A wave trap is a simple affair con-
sisting of variable condenser in shunt
with a coil of suitable size and the
whole connected In series with the
aerial wire leading to the tuner Of the
receiving set.
When this trap Is turned 1t weeds
out the undesIred signal. Care should
be taken in Its construction to keep
the resistance at low value, otherwise
the sharpness OF tuning of the trap will
be adversely affected and the signal
strength will be lessened.
The size of the coll depends on the
waves to be eliminated. Thus for 200
meter trapping 35-turn coil will
be found most effective. while for ex-
Guiding 3e0meter stations 75-turn
coll Is necessary. The variable con-
denser should have an approximate
capacity of .0O1 microfarads, which is
the general equivalent of a 43-plate
condenser.
The manipulation of wave traps is as
simple as their construction. If while

GOVERNMENT REFUTEp

MoscOw.-GeOrge Tchitcherin, the
made here, denied that his govern
ment ever had sent communications
to the American Workers party or
had any connections whatsoever with
that party.
In making public his denial, M.
Tchitcherin declared that If there ex-
ist any documents such as have been
referred to by the American govern
ment which tend to show that the So
Wet government is seeking to stir up
revolutionary activities in the United
States, they are forgeres. He added
that the soviet government would like
to submit the authenticity of the docu-
ments to arbitration.
Tchitcherin added to his own denial
reputation of the documents by G. S.
Zinovieff, president of the Communist
Third Internationale, and NJ. Steckloff,
editor of the Izvistiu Tchitcherin's
formal statement follows:
Having acquainted myself with the
contents of the documents published
by Secretary of State Hughes, COM
municated with NJ. Zinovieff and NJ.
Steckloff on behalf of the soviet gov
ernment, and the two gentlemen men
toned emphatically declare the docu-
ments are unmitigated forgerles, like
the infamous Sisson papers.
II challenge Mr. Hughes, failing
their unconditional withdrawal, to pro-
duce them before any impartial court
of arbitration Jointly agreed upon.
Failing to do this, Mr.. Hughes will
show the world that he has conscious
ly made himself instrumental in pub
fishing and broadcasting forged docu-
ments. 1t is up to Mr.. Hughes to ac-
quit himself Of the accusations against
him."
A long summary of the documents
has been cabled to Moscow from New
York Referring to the situation, the
Izvestia, the semi-official mouthpiece
of the government, says:
"We expected trouble from Mr..
Hughes, and therefore our disappoint-
ment is not so very deep. We will
always be ready in the future to talk
with America and conclude deals on
mutual basis"
The 1zvestia says that America
gave the world an example of cam
collation. of debts, which Mr.. Hughes
seems to forget" 1t adds that the
colonies cancelled their obligations to
England after the revolution: the
Southern states debt was repudlated
after the Civil War; the government
gave slave owners no compensation
after emancipation, and the American
protectorate in Cuba cancelled debts
to Spain.
The infamous Sisson papers, re-
ferred to by NJ. Tchitcherin were re-
ports made in 1918 to George Creel,
head of the American committee on
public information during the World
War, by Edgar Sisson, special repre-
sentative of the committee in Russia.
The documents as given out by the
committee at Washington showed how
the German government, through its
imperial bank, paid its gold to Lenine,

ates in Russia to betray Russia into
