GETTING UNUSUAL RESULTS
IN RADIO MUSIC RECEPTION

George Becker Jr. somewhat
startled the people of Winnemucca
last Monday night by sending forth
such distance piercing music from
his radio receiving instruments that
It truly seemed that the sounds were
coming from nowhere and going
everywhere. Plenty of people are
willing to testify to having heard
the music mile from the receiving
station operated by Becker, which is
located two blocks south of the
Southern Pacific tracks. The music
was distinctly heard at the Over
land hotel and other places and
the announcements of the broad
casters understood as far away as
the Shone house. Contrary to gen.
eral belief the result was not OBJ
aimed by especially installed power
sound amplifiers, for Becker used
only his regular equipment in the
test. The extra sound volume was
obtained by use of newly-de-
geloped receiving and sending an
tenna, called cage aerial, consist
lng of a thousand feet of bare
copper wire stretched in parallel
enghts and held in place by four
foot wooden hoops. Becker esti-
mated that in this manner the sound
yolume of his set has been in
creased at least five time over the
,apacity of the one or four wire
.ntenna. The drawback of the new
lntenna is that it will of course
magnify static and other interior
1nces in equal proportions, and to
guard against "bad night" inter
ferences, Becker has retained the
single-wire antenna as auxiliary
equipment,

RAINE-BRITE CASE
CAUSES SENSATION

Sensational incidents in the Brite-
Raine murder trial resulted in an
interruption of proceedings at Eu-
reka. Separate trials for the de-
PENDANTS, Robert Raine and J. II.
Brite, will start April 3.
1t has developed that Brite is a
witness for the state, it being in
ferred that he will turn states
evidence. Milton b. Moore, coun-
sci for the defendant, indicated
that Brite was not taking his ad-
vice, and asked that he be excused
as Brite's attorney. He was ex-
cused and James Dysart, of this
city, was appointed to act in his
stead, according to the EIko Inde-
pendent.
1t developed during the trial
that r. w. Hesson of this city will
act as a witness for the state at
the trial. Testimony of material
weight is reported to be in Mr..
lessons possession.
Brite, it is claimed, notified At
torney Curler, counsel for Raine,
and his own attorney, Moore, on
March Ia that he intended to act
as states witness in the case. Brite
attempted to make statement in
open court but he was stopped.
