STERN RESISTANCE IF GERMANS BE |NG FELT BY FRENCH
Boycott Losing Strength Un- der Determined Policy of Allied Officials Serious
 Accidents Occur

ESSEN, Feb. 1s,--tBy Associated Press 1.-The increased resistance of the German officials and more hos tile attitude generally by burgo- masters and other municipal authori- ties throughout the Ruhr have been felt by the French during the past 24 hours.
 On the other hand, the boycott by tl stores and restaurants in Essen d, elsewhere appears to be losing strength, apparently in consequence of the strong measures adopted by the French. On Saturday the French met the boycott in Essen by sending out two motor trucks in charge of two officers with a detachment of men.
 These trucks started by making a round of the stores. At the first place entered a soldier tried to buy chocolate. The storekeeper refused to sell. An officer then had the pro- prietor arrested. The trucks moved on to two other places, where the same process was repeated.
 Resume Selling.
 These arrests were viewed by the crowds of the townspeople and the news spread quickly. Consequently before the French buying expedition had proceeded much farther the boy colt seemed to have been suddenly called off. for stores resumed selling to the French.
 The boycott in Recklinghausen also has been called off.
 The French are beginning to reap little harvest of German marks. Yesterday when troops entered Gel senkirchen detachments occupied the Rathaus and railroad station, seiz- ins total of 110.000000 paper marks. out of which sum the French paid the fine of lo0,0o0, 900 marks imposed upon the town by the French as penalty for the recent woundins of two French gendarmes. In Trier the French seized the strike fund of 250,0oo ,o0o marks, sup posedly sent by German government sources to aid the German railroad men who are refusing to work. This money will be applied to the ex-' penses of the French and Belgians in the operation of the railroads in the Rhineland.
 Accidents occur.
 Two of the worst accidents since the French and Belgians undertook the operati tions of the railroads oc- cured early today. locomotive at Dahlhausen crashed into q passenger coach carrying French civil railroad workers, killing two and in1urins eleven, three seriously. One Bel gian railroad worker was killed in a collision between Belgian and French trains al Orefeld.
 The French authorities today de- nied a report of the Wolff bureau. the semi official German news agency. that French troops fired on miners at the Prince Regent mine near Bochum. The French say the Germans locked out from the mine guard of French troops sent to super vise the loading of coal cars. The French fired few shots into the big wooden gates. which the Germans i'm, ,,a ,liataIN oOened.

 Several hours later another big sea swept the ship and did more damage. The crew again was placed in jeopardy while clearing away the debris. The big liner was swung off her course to prevent the sailors from being swept over board, and finally the decks were cleared and the Berengaria con- tinued on her course, her plates dented and battered by the com bers.
 The liner France of the French line also came into port today, damaged by the storm and several hours late, while the Lapland and the Roussilon docked showing the effects of the terrific gale.

Can Detect Insect Tones.
While experiments had not been
made on insects or animals. he ex-
pressed belief that any inaudible
sounds they might make could be
recorded.
DR.. De Forrest asserted that the
principle of the thermophone which
he developed in conjunction with T..
w. Case of Auburn. N. Y, was en-
tirely new, while that Of the ultra
audible microphone has been used
twenty years ago in a radio telephone
on which he himself held a patent.
Its present perfection. he said. was
due largely to the use of amplifiers in
connection with the discharge be-
tween electrodes.
Refinement of the process to the
extent of recording inaudible sound
he said, was a remarkable
achievement.

NEW YORK. December 2s.-De.
velopment OF q thermophone. which
its inventor says rivaied the ultra
audible microphone Of DR.. Phillip
Thomas in recording sound vibrations
too faint or too rapid for the human
ear to CATCH, was announced today
by DR.. Lee De Forrest.
He said his invention was more
practical because of tho extreme low
voltage required.
At tho same time he announced that
he had combined the thermophone
with photograph process to pro-
duce talking motion pictures, In
which the finest sounds of the human
voice and musical Instruments could
be reproduced with utmost fideiifv
and synchroniaed perfectly with the
action on the screen,

Uses Small Voltage.
Expressing doubt that the ultra
audible microphone could be used to
practical advantage in recording in
sect sounds and vibrations of the hu-
man heart, because the high voltage
might endanger life, DR.. De Forrest
said he had achieved the same re-
suits with only four volts of cleo
tricfty.
Use of an infinitesimal platinum
wire one ten -thousandth of an inch in
diameter and one-eighth OF an inch
long to bridge the electrodes, he said,
had produced an instrument as sensi-
tive to sound as the flowing light

DIXIE COLLEGE BODIES
PLAN UNIFORM RULES

ATLANTA. Ga. March 3.-Steps to-
ward uniform action on the subjects
of summer base ball and the migra-
tion of athletes were taken at a joint
meeting here today OF representa-
tives Of the Southern Intercollegiate
Conference and the Southern Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association. The
meeting was described as "harmoni-
Gus" by representatives of the two
organizations.
At the request OF the s. I. A. A.
representatives, those present for the
conference agreed TO recommend to
their body the re-enactment of the
old conference migratory rule. which
Is in effect the same rule that the
S. |. A. A. now operates on. Accord
ing to this rule, an athlete, who has
played on any team of college. is
forever barred from competing on
the team OF any other college. I'm
der this rule it will be impossible for
an athlete to win letter at more
than one college.
In return for this courtesy the S.
i. A. a. Representatives agreed to
recommend to their organization the
enactment of a rule covering sum-
mer base ball that will have the same
meaning as the present conference
rule. This provides that an athlete,
to be eligible for a college team, must
not compete on regularly organized
teams with salary schedule, and
must not receive any compensation
other than expenses. He may play
on teams not classified as regular
league teams by getting permission
from a faculty representative. but
such team must not play more than
three games a week.
Recommendation also were made
by several of the representatives
present that the colleges take steps
toward seeing that the preparatory
schools organize to enforce the same
rules as governing the higher schools.

Organization work begun last night
is only preliminary step toward
greatest aids to Georgetown athletics.
The club formed here is to be
parent organization for associated
clubs of this kind in every big city
of the United States. The organiza-
tion will be pushed here and all local
Georgetown letter men are to be
asked to attend a meeting about the
middle of this month.
1t is understood that the university
authorities are in favor of the plan
and have assured those responsible
for the organization of close CO.
operation. In fact, SO close is to be
the cooperation with the university
and the newly organized body that
the latter is to be given direct repre-
sentation on the athletic council.
town alumni feel will help solve
Georgetown's problems.
Work of the club will be devoted
toward helping the university along
all lines, especially athletics. And
especially will the club devote it's
energies to building up a strong local
sentiment for Georgetown and to-
ward giving Georgetown big game
in foot ball in which local sentiment
will be predominant. Undoubtedly
such game is much needed on the
Blue and Grays schedule, as no con-
test has even been found to take the
place of the one with Virginia or the
old Thanksgiving day battle with
George Washington.
One of the men present at the
meeting last night expressed the
aims of the club thus:
We intend to build up George
town clientele among the local public
SO that Washington will feel that
Georgetown belongs to it. Something
along the same line that Georgia
Tech has worked in Atlanta and
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia We
expect to keep in touch with the
management of athletics and give
every aid possible to development of
sports There is much that such an
organization may do for Georgetown
and we mean to do it,
