as radiograms. And all this by
merely sitting down to an auto
matte sending device, with a type
writer keyboard, and writing off
the messages at the starting point.
The stupendous task Of the Army
Signal Corps men in making this
electrical miracle possible has taken
years, but 1t is now perfected and
is being used on the old Alaskan
cable. The speaking voice over a
telephone has been automatically
broadcast as radio and land tele-
graph wires have been hooked up
with deep-sea. cable wires, but the
whole combination has never Been
developed before.

Another feature of the device Is
that it sends scores of messages
over the same land or sea wire at
the same time by a multiplex brush
system known as the "key sys-
tenn" which synchronizes the
mixed-up tumble of dots and dash
es and sorts them out with amaz-
ing speed at the receiving end
much after the manner in which a
machine gun fires hundreds of
shots per minute through the pro.
pellers Of speeding airplane with

That part of the system, how
ever, was mechanical. The biggest
problem was to synchronize the
low frequency Of land wires with
the subaudio radio freqnencies. 1t
appeared that the two systems
were so Numerically opposed that
it was impossible, but the fire.
quency Of the land or cable wire
was made into an alternating cir
cult and the oscillations solved
the question. This necessitated
putting the radio, electron tube sys-
tenn into the telegraph and cable,
which has been done, with the re.
suit that the land and sea wire
messages are really radio travelling
on wires and leaping out as honest.

COMMENCEMENT
CASSED
B Ut FIL|BUSTER
HOLDS IN R. ISLAND

Providence, r. J., June 19.-With
u conference of reconciliation ended
IN failure and the prospect of politi-
cal peace as far off as ever. the
Rhode Island senate, deadlocked
since last January. was declared in
recess late today by Lieut.. Governor
Felix A. Toupin. 1t will meet again
tomorrow afternoon.
The blame for the placing OF an
amateur gas bomb which flooded the
chamber with suffocating bromine
fumes this morning had not been
placed tonight. Senator Arthur A.
sherman of Portsmouth, Republican
moor leader, who was overcome was
reported resting comfortably in n
hospital. His party colleagues. part
or them technically under arrest for
refusing to assume their seats after
the gas episode, were absent from
the chamber throughout the day.
Senator Henry a. Evers of Cranston
alone remained to assert the absent
or quorum should the Democratic
minority attempt to transact bust
reSS.
A conference of party leaders with
Governor William S. Flynn, at which
was discussed u compromise meas
ure for popular referendum next
fall on the calling OF a constitutional
convention, was without results the
governor announced. He said that
Senator Evers at first agreed to the
compromise on behalf of his party,
but that his concurrence was later
''repudiated." Speaker Philip JosIin
of the house of representatives with
Republican Floor Leader Andrews,
ne continued, said they would not
give any assurances of their dispo-
5ition to recommend the compromise
measures passage by the house."
The Democratic minority in the
senate has been filibustering and
preventing adjournments for weeks
past because the Republicans would
not approve the constitutional refer
endum measure proposed by Sena-
tor Robert l.. Quinn. Important leg
islation, including appropriation
bills for the support of state insti-
tutions. has been side tracked by tho
deadlock.
A threatening speech by Senator
Quinn ended today's session. After
announcing the failure of the gov
ernor's conference he charged the
Republican senators with acting
against the interests of the people.
Referring to their alleged intentional
absence today, he said: IF these
senators are not willing to stay here
and see the fight to u finish. means
will be taken to keep them here. If
bloodshed there must be, bloodshed
there will be-"
Another Democratic senator took
the floor to object to the last state
ment, III 1t was really meant
and a recess was then voted.

McAdOO i'm Personal
Charge of Campaign
For the Nomination

New York, June 19-Wilham u.
McAdoo. who reached New York
from California last night, today took
active charge of his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for president.
He remained in his rooms, adjoining
his headquarters at the Vanderbilt
Hotel, comforting with prominent ad-
visers and friends throughout the
day.
While Mr. McAdoo made no public
statement, David Ladd Rockwell, his
campaign manager, said that the for
mer secretary OF the treasury had
conferred with Senator Glass Of Nir-
ginia; Homer Cummings OF Connec-
ticut, prominently mentioned as n
likely chairman Of the resolutions
committee; David Hunter Miller. at
torney, who was on the staff of the
American peace commission at Yer
Sailles; Bruce Kremer, Democrat tic
national committeeman from Mon
tana; Thomas =. Love. national COM
mitteeman from Texas. and many
others.
w. l.. Thornton, member OF the
Texas delegation to the convention,
informed the McAdoo headquarters
that he had written letters to dele
gates OF more than 40 states asking
their view OF a proposal to abolish
the rule requiring n two thirds vote
to nominate. He said he had received
replies from about 30 states indicat-
ing sentiment for changing the rules
so as to allow a ma jority to nomi-
nate.
Mr.. Rockwell reiterated that he
considered II immaterial to Mr.. Nc
Adoo's candidacy whether the rules
were changed or not.
