BRITISH INVENTOR. GIVES DEATH RAY. TO OWN COUNTRY
Publicity Campaign Ends in $1,5OO,0OO Contract
 With England
By JOHN O'BRIEN By Leased Wire To The ge-Herzld.) ]


 PARIS, May 30.-At the very mo- ment when it seemed that Grindell Matthews, English inventor. was about to abandon his country and sell to France what he believes may be the most devastating war engine of the ages, sudden twist in the cratic in ventor's movement has placed the death ray" in English hands.
 The ray is to be developed by m English company, and Mattheys hap Lily and bit proudly declares that his machine will make England safe iron all aerial attack.
 Plays Shrewd GHme
 Thus. suddenly and dramatically, ends one of the most fantastic stories that ever startled the chancellories of Europe. It is now believed that from the beginning the inventor, finding himself a prophet without honor in his own country played a shrewd and des- perate game in France to force his re luctant countrymen to accept his in- vention.
 Many scientists and statesmen in Europe frankly ridicule the death ray" The British government ap- parently still looks askance at the in vention. But Matthews. and those closest to him, are convinced of the claim that development of the machine will produce a terrifying energy capable of spreading death and, ruin throughout a zone of flame.
 Over A Million And A Half
 Whatever it's potentialities, the ma chine now goes to Britain. When Mat thews left England, apparently in dis gust and desperation, three Englishmen who had been negotiating with him in dilatory fashion became alarmed. They were further alarmed when the excited inventor launched a publicity campaign of sensational mystery, which attracted worldwide attention, and gained him a speedy hearing in France. Friday they hurried here with an offer of $1,500,OO0 for the invention-seven times the French bid
 ..I think England will win," was the comment of Captain Edwards, Mat thews' business associate.
 Under terms of contract drawn up later in the day an English company will be launched to carry on the death ray" experiments. Matthews retains a 90 per cent interest in the company. M. Rover. of the French concern of Chantiers Du Rhone, has JO per cent interest in whatever Matthews realizes; as a result of the deal of Englishmen made with him for developing invea- tions other than the ray.
 Matthews, declaring that a happy and satisfactory adjustment" has been reached, promised a startling demon stration in few months. The skeptics laugh, the believers shake, their head and whisper of fiery horrors of future wars,

erners were forced by their conscience to take their stand with them.
 At the close of the war south went back to the union. Fathers of the south ern men had helped to build this coun- try, and when the south, willingly, went back we could for the first time call this 8 truly united nation. That the south was with the union was well proven in 1898, and again in the last World war. Everywhere, from every state in the union came men ready to fight for their country and the sons of the blue and the sons of the gray were united in the one common cause that the principles for which their country stands should not perish"
 Mfr. Bowie praised the action of Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson in keeping the United States out of the world con flict as long as was possible. He termed Wilson 'the greatest President that this nation or any other nation ever had" and declared that it was strength that kept us from engaging in the war at its outset.
 A selection by the Boys Industrial school band followed Bowie's address.
 Probably the event featuring the program at the church was the con-. struction of the memorial wreath. Answeringsa roll call, representatives. of all the city's patriotic organizations came to the front of the auditorium amid the cheers of the audience and each placed flower in the wreath.
 Governor Brandon Speaks
 Taking for his subject National Unity, Exemplified by a United Memo rial Day. Gov. William W. Brandon delivered the second address of the aft ernoon's program. His speech was stir ring throughout, and he was constantly interrupted by the applause of his list eners. He paid high tribute to the dead soldiers of the country's wars.
 There has always been a sentiment among men to honor their dead" he told his audience, "All people do it, and it is fitting that we should come here at this time to honor our hero dead. Their deeds are handed down to us in stainless records"
 During his address, Governor Bran don emphasized the manner, in which the country has showed itself now to be great united whole. He spoke of the splendid manner, in which the descendants of Confederate veterans rallied with the rest of the country when Cuba called for help, and declared that Alabama'S own 167th infantry, uner the command of descendant of a Confederate veteran, was one of the first troops in France. He closed his address with plea that the time may come, when all wars will be ended.
 After the singing of Souls Of the Righteous, by the male quartet, the meeting Was closed with community singing of ''rhe Star Spangled Ban ner." Capt. William M. Spencer, Jr., was master, of ceremonies at the serv- ices.

.NAVALNCREASE
 E GOAL SOUGHT
 BY WHITE HOUSE
Coolidge And Roosevelt Discuss Appropriation
 With Chairman Hale
By THOMAS STOKES

(By Leased WIfe bO 1H0 Abe-hA14S SAust
 WASHINGTON, May 30.-A series of developments in both House and Senate have further complicated the tangled situation in Congress, and new difficulties have been thrown in the way of adjournment June e one week off, as planned by leaders,
 i. At a conference at the White House Friday, it was decided to make efforts to get naval increase legislation through the Senate this session.
 2. This led to notification from Sem ate insurgents that they would hold up this legislation until farm relief has been voted.s
 q. Meanwhile, action on the McNary- Haugen agricultural bill in the House has been postponed until Tuesday, thereby causing more delay.
 President Coolidge and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt con, ferred Friday with Senator Hale of Maine. chairman of the naval affairs committee. and Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, regarding action in the Senate on the bill passed by the House providing $150, 100000 for bringing the V |I navy up to the treaty ratio.
 sCommittcc Meets Saturday
 The naval affairs committee will meet Saturday to discuss this iegisia- tion, and is. expected to report the measure to the Senate early next week. While Senator Hale would like to get action this session, the crowded caien- dar and the blockade by progressives threatens to prevent it. q
 ..We'n block this legislation and any other outside measures appr0priating money until a farm relief bill has been nassed." Senator Brookhart, of Iowa, temporary leader of the insurgents, de- clared.
 The insurgents in both House and Senate have solidified their forces, and have laid out their course. If the Me Nary-Haugen bill fails in the House, as is expected, they will push the Norris Sinclair bill, setting up government export corporation capitalized at $lUO,- COG, 900, instead of $2OO,OOO,OOO as Tn the present measure, and built along permanent lines, instead of tempor- ary, as is the case with the McNary- Haugen bill.
 They have two aims for railroad legislation, passage of the bills abolish- ing the railroad labor board and repeal ing section 15-A of the transportation act. At meeting of the Senate inter state commerce committee Saturday, insurgents will make an effort to get both of these measures voted out, Brookhart said. The return of Sen ator Couzens of Michigan has given them enough votes, he stated. -

gram. delivered an impressive address in praise Of the veterans of all wars. Garry On" was his subject.
 ''The right of a state to secede from the union, which was asserted by the southern states. was not disputed dur ing the first 90 or 75 years of our existence" he said. Several of the states wrote clauses in their con stitutions asserting their right to with draw at any time. But during that 50 or 75 years began to grow up some thing that was not in America when the first states were settled.
 That was. love of the country, as a whole. The love for this country and it's principles, given impetus by the mass of immigrants pouring in, grew to a white heat When the Civil war broke out, the cry of the north was not Free the negro but Save the union.' This cry met ready response through out the north.
