LEAGUE HEARS DEBATE
ON OPIUM TRAFFIC

GENEVA, Dec. l (By The Asso-
ciated Press Preside Zahle of
the International Opium Conference,
summing up, the debate on the
American proposal that the domestic
use of opium in India should be con-
sidered. by the present meeting, de-
clared that it was his personal view
that this proposal came within the
scope of the conference agenda.
England came out strongly in sup
port of India today at the confer
ence, contending that Representative
Stephen G. Porter, head of the
American delegation to the confer
ence, had given a clear impression
that the question of the domestic use
of opium in India would not be
pressed, as the Americans now were
attempting to press it. Sir Malcolm
Delevinge read extracts from the
records of meetings of the opium
advisory committee last year to show
that both he (Delevinge) and Sir
John Jordan had made statements
that in conversations with Mr.. Porter
they had been led to believe that the
American delegation had no inten-
tion of interfering with the internal
practices OF India or any other coun-
try like Bolivia and Peru, where the
coca leaf is eaten.

ing but the other was run down by

legged bootleggers in the first boat
could hear the cries of the men from
the second boat as they plunged into
the water.
The men in the first boat, it is re-
ported, were afraid of being caught
by the government men and so did
not turn back. At first il was re-
ported that the three men in the
second boat had all drowned as the
crew of the revenue cutter failed TO
rescue them. However, reports
reaching the city this afternoon state
that the three men in the second
boat were rescued and were taken

PICTURES BY RADIO ARE
MADE IN SHORT Time

NEW YORK, Dec. Trans
lantic transmission of photographs
by radio is today a reality.
Portraits of President Coolidge,
Premier Stanley Baldwin. the Prince
of Wales, and Owen D. Young were
among those despatched by wire
less from London yesterday during a
public test conducted by the Radio
Corporation of America. In its offices
here, a juggling stylus drew these
pictures on an oscii1ating cylinder
and twenty minutes after each orig
inal had been put on the air in the
English capital, it was reproduced
In New York. Officials of the COM
pany said that the invention. an all
American instrument. by which not
only pictures but printed messages
may be transmitted. is a complete
success.
The device was developed by c. n.
Taylor. chief engineer of the Radio
Corporation. Z. +. w. Alexander,
consulting engineer. and r. H. Ran
ger. directing engineer. With but
their process will be available for
TRANSATLANTIC transportation OF
news pictures, secret business mes
sages, diplomatic correspondence
and Identification photographs of
criminals for police purposes.
General James G. Harbord, presi-
dent of the corporation, said that
the cost of transmission of one pic
ture is between $40 and $40 dollars.
This computation is based on the
number of words that could be sent
at toll rates during the thirty min
utes required for the despatch of
picture. 1t is expected however,
that the sending time will be re-
duced considerably in the near fl-
ture.

MOTHER DROWNED BOYS, CORONER SAYS
SOLVE MOLTEN CURRENCY
MYSTERY AT CARTERET

CARTERET, Dec. Pennies,
nicisels, dimes and other coins
as well as articles of various
natures which are hidden or lost
in mattresses are eventually re-
covered through an interesting
process as discovered by Chief OF
Police Henry j. Harrington yes
terday. The chief was called
upon to investigate a case In
which quantity of melted PEN
nies and nickels were found in
the possession of a group of
Perth Amboy boys. The source
OF the currency was traced to
this borough. In checking up
the case, the chief traced the
melted money to the Licbig fer
tilizer plant.
Superintendent Wood explained
to the chief how the money
comes from q digestor at the
plant. Old mattresses, feath-
ers, ETC., which have been cast
away as household goods are
utilized for fertilizer. On many
occasions, it was discovered, the
money appeared about the plant
as the mattresses were i'm the
process of 'rehashing." 1t is
impossible to get the coins while
the mattresses and pillows are
being run through the machin-
cry.
They are found after the
grinding process, usually melted
together. Chief Harrington was
informed by the superintendent
that he had no objection to the
taking of the melted currency
by the employees. He was also told
that the same situation exists in
almost every fertilizer plant.
The pennies, dimes or quar-
tiers are usually lost by children
or the parents in a torn mattress.
The money Is sometimes boarded
in the mattress. But il finally
comes out In the wash," the
chief remarked,
