SOUTH AMBOY, March 17.-The
body of Martin Donohue, a deck
hand on the Pennsylvania Railroad

January IL, was found yesterday
washed ashore at Union Beach. Po-
lice officials at that place notified
the family and two brothers of the
dead man journeyed to Union Beach

tattoo marks on one of his arms.
Practically al i..lpe tor the recov-
cry of the body oi the dead man hao
been, given lup by the police, as we'll
as by members of the crew he
worked with. All contend that after
so long a period in water the body
would never come to shore. The
police are inclined to believe that the
mans body had been caught In the
meadows and later frozen in ice. The
body when found was in a good state
OF preservation.
The crew of the boat on which
Donohue worked told police officials
that when last seen Donohue mad
asked permission to seek the cap
tain of one of the barges lying near
by, who had promised him a small
row boat. Captain Daniel salmon,
In charge of the tug 33, said that
was the last heard of the missing
man.
When the man failed to make ms
annearance at his home. his wife
notified the police and an investlga-
tion was made. Through the as
,sistance of the P. r. r. tug crew
the small boat was later recovered

HARRY WARREN
SHOT IN M|XUP
Taxi Man Claims HoIdup Men
Knocked Him Unconscious
and Shot Him

Harry Warren, a. taxi owner of
Amboy avenue, is confined to his
home today as the result of an al
legged mixup with two holdup men,
which occurred on the hill this side
of Woodbridge between 1 and
O'Clock this morning, In the mix
up which took place as the men
started to go through his pockets,
Warren was knocked unconscious
and shot in the right shoulder as he
fell to the ground Although suf-
fering from loss of blood and great
pain, Warren, after regaining con-
sciousness, crawled back into his
car and drove to the Office of r.
w. II. Mccormick, Jr., where the
bullet was removed and the injured
shoulder dressed. The bullet almost
passed completely through his
shoulder.
According to the story of the af
fair told by Warren to an Evening
News reporter, he. was returning to
this city after taking passenger to
Iselin, and was driving slowly up the
hill in second speed as the engine of
his car was working poorly. When
nearly to the top of the hill, two men
jumped upon the running board and
demanded that he stop.
Warren says that he came to a
stop and upon the demand of the
two men left the,car. When on the
ground the two menebegan to search
him and Warren says he began to
fight The next thing he remember
ed was a hit on the head and the
firing of a shot as he fell. Warren
does not know how long he lay on
the ground before becoming consci-
Gus. When he did he Immediately
got into the car and drove to the
doctors office.
Warren in telling or the alleged
holdup said although the men were
not masked he would be unable to
identify them because of the dark
ness of the place they picked for the
holdup. OF one thing he is certain,
however, and that is hat. he has
never seen them before. Warren is
of the opinion that the men may
have been bandits looking for boot
leggers.
Plain Clothesman Emil Koyen
heard of the affair and notified
headquarters. He was detailed on
the case and visited DIR. McCormick's
office where he learned that Warren
had been treated for a revolver shot
wound in his shoulder

LIBERTY BONDS PROFIT

NEW YORK. March 17:-Liberty
bonds today profited by a turn of
funds into tax exempt securities, re-
sulting from the fear that the s2.-
000,000,000 bonus measure, reported
by the House ways and means COM
mittee, would limit tax reduction. An
enlarged demand sent all issues
higher, with large blocks of the third
and fourth Az changing hands.
Prices of domestic bonds moved ir-
regularly. with trading featured by
heavy liquidation of Kelly-Spring-
field SIS. Moving in sympathy with
a decline of common and preferred
stock, the bonds fell 2% points to
95A, new low price for the year.
Selling was based on uneasiness over
maintenance of the company's per
cent preferred dividend. Wilson &
Company issues made further recov-
cry, and Seaboard 6s mounted more
than a point to a new high level for
the year at 79%.

New York, and Archbishop Nun
delein, of Chicago, who are to be
created cardinals at the coming con-

vatican to extend a welcome, in view
of the important event for which
they came to Rome.

U.S.BALLOON|ST
HEARD WBZ
IN HOLLAND
First Attempt to Commune
cate With International
Racers Proves Success

SPRINGFIELD, June 27--Success
attended the first organized attempt
to communicate by radio with the
international balloon racers while
in flight, and Westinghouse Sta
ton WBz at Springfield. Mass.
can lay claim to this signal honor.
The Springfield broadcasting sta
ton made special efforts to reach
Pilot Van Orlman Of the Balloon
Goodyear III. For several nights
following the ascension Of the com.
peting pilots, WBZ broadcast it's
programs with the hope Of enter
tanning the flyers and also courte.
ously transmitted official letters Of
cheer and messages Of encourage.
ment from friends of the American
pilot. Pilot Van Orman equipped
his balloon with receiving set,
and made every effort to get the
WBz call letters.
Until the American pilot made a
landing it was impossible to learn
whether or not he had received
anything from the Westinghouse
station. However, full substantial,
ton of his reception was given i'm
.mediately following his landing,
when WBZ received the following
cablegram:
Heard call letters, two thirty.
seven, Monday morning."
(Signed) Pilot Van Orman.
The reception was effected while
the Goodyear III was flying over
Holland. The cablegram was sent
from Amsterdam, Holland. There
Is difference Of six hours between
Holland and Eastern daylight saving
time. Pilot Van Arman evidently
heard a portion of the WBZ pro.
gram. which was broadcast between
$3.50 and O'clock p. m, on Sunday,
June Is.
This is the first time that any
effort has been made to reach com.
petitors in the International Balloon
Races by radio, and the success Of
WBZ's attempt to effect such com.

ENGINEER
GIVES ABC Of
ANTENNA
Explains to Owners Of Sets
Why One Is Necessary and
What Kind to Get

NEW YORK. June 27.-"Must I
have an antenna" is one of the
first questions arising in the mind
Of one contemplating the purchase
OF a radio set and in the minds
of many already owning radio re-
ceivers. The second question to
arise In this connection is: IF 1
must have an antenna must 1t be
an outside one. like those see
on the roofs. Of may 1t be located
inside the rooms where my set is
t. be placed.
r. q. Thompson. radio engineer,
answers:
."All radio sets must have some
kind OF antenna because this is a
device for catching the radio
waves. This antenna, however,
may be in one of several different
forms and sizes.
I'm order to understand these Diff
ferent forms it is necessary to con.
slider just few things that techni-
cal men would point out. A radio
wave consists of two parts spoken
| OF by engineers as the electrical"
and the magnetic component" The
former can be more efficiently re-
cived than the latter because it IL
more practical to build a device that
will be effected by 1t. This may be
piece of wire or conductor of
electricity from q few inches long
to few hundred feet long. It has
been found, however, that what
suits the kind Of waves and the
length of waves, used in broadcast
ing, Is an elevated wire between
75 and 100 feet long. This wire
literally draws the waves down and
through the radio receivers and then
to the earth. The upper or outer
end Of such an antenna is connect
ed to nothing and should be In
sulated from any conductor Of cleo.
tricity to obtain the best results.
when using this type of antenna,
| commonly known as the open type.
| one side OF the radio receiver must
BIO connected to the earth, as 1t is
the tendency Of the waves to find
short cut to earth.
The ground and antenna exist,
though the antenna may be only a
few inches OF wire forming the
ordinary connections between parts
in the set itself, and the ground
may be the electrical capacity exist
ing between other wires and the
earth.
Practically speaking. an open
| antenna system may consist of a
| piece Of wire, six or eight feet long,
easily arranged in any room. It's
position in the room makes rom.
paratively little difference, as long
as 1t is stretched away from the
set. All Of these open types OF
antenna should be used with a
ground connection, which consists of
a piece OF wire as short as
practicable. connecting the ground
side or grounding post Of the re.
ceiver to a radiator, water pipe or
other metallic structure which has
contact with the earth itself"
