Patent Committee of Congress
Relieves Discoverer Has
Found Something
BY HARRY HUNT

Just as the air is full cc all sorts
Of sounds, in these d0y3 of radio,
so one needs only the proper mecha-
nism to enable him 70 pull con-
cert, a lecture or a bedtime sorry
out of the ether.
Just so, also, is it full of il
limitable energy, needing only the
proper apparatus to enable man
kind to draw from it the power
with which to run automobiles, pro-
pei steamships, drive power plants
i and perform all the myriad tasks
| for which man now harnesses steam
end electricity.
Such is the claim Of GarabeG T.
K. Giragossian, who has been at
the heels of Congress for the past
eight years to grant kim special
patent protection for ar alleged
'free energy invention. This in.
vention, which Girag ossian claims
would at once relieve Us of the
necessit yof damming rivers CT
! digging in mines to obtain sources
of power, would simply enable us
to tune in" on the energy that
has been stored up in The atmos-
phere since creation began.
The unusual thing about Girago5-
sian is that, unlike most inventors
who seek special favors or hint at
revolutionary discoveries, he is able
to convince members # the patents
committees of Congress that he "has
something"
Back in 1918 joint resolution
providing for a demo astratioa of
Giragossian's free energy gen
orator was adopted by both
houses of Congress.
This resolution guaranteed him
full patent protection in case the
test passed the analysis of a board
of scientists.
Giragossian at that time declined
to disclose his mechanism on the
ground that the resolution put
upon him the burden of proving
that he was the "first and originai
inventor" of the method, which he
said he would be unable to do.
An amended resolution relieving
the inventor of the necessity of
such proof, but drawn so a. to
protect other inventors or discov-
erers making similar claims. has
been reported from the House
Patents Committee TO the present
Congress-

The forward strides made in re-
cent years by such inventions as the
airplane and radio have made mem
bers of Congress particularly caaiy
about branding any claimed in, en-
ton as a fake"

.SHEAN TRIAL DELAYED
 TILL MARCH COURT
Quick Arrest of Gerald Chapman for Murder
 Tinted at

Walter l.. Shean, accompIice of Gerald Chapman in the burglary of the Davidson & LeYenthal store on the morning of Oct. l2. and charged with first degree murder as an &C., cessory before the fact in the mur- der of Patrolman James Skely in the store, will not be arraigned be- fore the December term of the su- perior court. according to informa- ton received at the office of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn today. Shean will be held at the Hartford County jail for the March term of the court. No attempt by attorneys for Shean to have the charge changed so that he can be admitted to bail Is expected at this time.
 The decision to postpone the trial of Shean until the next term of the court was reached at q conference in the states attorneys office yester- day in which the states attorney, representing the state, and Attorney Nlilloll d. VI dllllclu OL Spl !us Htlu and members of the firm of Curry 6; Curry, Hartford, represented the defendant.
 Counsel for Shean sought the con- tlnuance, it is reported. In the hope that Cha pman, who did the actual shooting, will be apprehended be- fore the March term and can go to trial with Shean. Shean had no direct connection with the shooting of Patrolman Skelly, the murder oc- curing in the store just about the time shoan was being placed under arrest on Church street by Patrol man Walter Malona.
 The arraignment of Chapman, the actual murderer, before the grand ! jury with Shean would work to the advantage of Shean, according to counsel for Shean, who are expect ed to make efforts to have the charge against the prisoner changed to armed robbery. With the mar who fired the shot that ended thc life of skelly before them, it 1. thought that the jury would be more willing to listen to the pleas ot defense counsel for a less severe charge against Shean.
 Relatives Of Shean in Springfield are reported to have employed a private detective agency to work on the trail of Chapman and to assist ! the police in their efforts to appre- , bend the fugitive. The local police feel confident that Chapman will be taken into custody soon as the fed ] eral' and New York police are believ- ed to have Information that will lead ] 10 his speedy arrest.

MINERS WHO STRIKE
 LOSE THEIR CHARTER
10 Local Unions With 12,- 900 Membership Affect
 ed in Pennsylvania

Scranton, Pa,, Dec. 3.-Charters of ten local unions of the United Mine Workers of America in the Pittston district were revoked today by the district board of the Miners union here.
 Failure of 12,0oO striking miners to obey the order of International President John L. Lewis to return to work was the reason assigned for the revocation. The action means that the strikers are no longer mem bers Of the miners union.
 District union officers said that the revocation deprives the strikers of all rights and privileges of the miners organization and that 1t Is likely that International President Lewis will send organizers here to reorganize the Pittston workers and bar the members of the grievance committee blamed for the walkout.
 An interesting feature Of the re- vocation of the charters Is that Dis trict President Rinado Cappellini and several board members hold their membership in the miners union through one of the local unions whose charter has been re- voked. District officers believe their membership Is protected by in ternational union law.
 The present walkout Is the third strike Involving q considerable num- Der of men that has occurred in the upper anthracite fields this fall with out authorization Of the district or ganization. The other two walkouts against the Glen Alden Coal com pany and the Hudson Coal company were ended by the men obeying the instructions and returning to work pending the adjustment of their grievances.
 Two collieries Of the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal company, involv- ing about t,s0o men are also on strike. A meeting Of the general grievance committee of the miners employed by this company will be held In Wilkes Barre tomorrow night In an effort to settle the trouble.
