THE GATE.POST


That shy but talented artist
who slips quietly in and pre-
sides right gracefully over the
worries for Grace LaRue at
Keith's this week is Joseph
Michael Daily, Of Boston, who
the late James Gibbons Hun
neker, noted critic, once said
was one Of two pianists he had
heard who had developed accom-
paniment to an art. The other
was Edwin Schneider, who helps
out John Mccormack. Mr.. DAILY
made his first tour Of the vaude-
vile circuits with Dorothy Jar
don and when that prima donna
signed up with the Chicago
Opera, Miss LaRue lost no
time in offering him a contract.
In the scholastic circles Of the
Hub, Joseph M. is as well
known as John Phillip Sousa,
for eighteen years ago he wrote
the Boston High School Cadets
March," and the embryo SOL
diers still march to its strain
whenever they appear in pub
lie. In addition he has written
q number Of melUdious tunes
that have been heard in the
Emusic Box Revue" and other
Broadway productions.
While American producers
still point with pride to Light
MIN" and its three years run
on the Main Stem, it is inter-
esting to note that ''Peter Pan"
is now entertaining British play
goers for the twenty-second
straight season. The gifted
Barrie has collected over ST.
100000 in pounds sterling on its
performances in Great Britain,
not to mention the pittance he
has received for American pre-
sensations. Not even "Abie's
Irish Rose" can equal that
royalty statement. It might
also be added that Barrie wrote
the most successful one-act play
ever produced, "The Twelve
Pound Look" He has been
gathering royalties from that
bijou comedy until they mount
into six figures. Ethel Barry
more who uses it in America
pays the author $3.50 a week
for its vaudeville rights.
! mentioned, quite in error,
that Miss Ruth Chatterton in
private life was a "Mrs." and
various eFudite critics took me
to task for such glaring misin-
formation on matters domestic.
Now the star of "The Magnolia
Lady" seems to have taken it
on herself to set things right,
for dispatches in another column

London, Conn.,. and marriage to
Ralph Forbes, lsa-iing man Of

 law especially in the enforcement of The ftroifDfIiJn law, equals that of-nny sheriff, not only in this state, but in any other state During the brief year and ten months that I have held the office of sheriff of Mobile county, my department has captured and destroyed 1 ,164 stills and eos, ,2S0 gallons of mash.
 ln addition to the above we have seil ed about 35 automobiles which were used in transporting prohibited liquors We have also seized one yacht, which con- tained, at the time of seizure, 1,296 quarts of imported liquor. This yacht has been condemned by the court and sold. We have also seized one foreign steamer, the Vallescura, against which condeu nation proceedings are now pend- ing. Several cases of liquor were seized and three arrests were made on this steamer. All of those arrested were con- vlcted. In addition to the work men, tioned above we have seized and de- stroyed many bottles of beer and many beer making devices. We have also searched approximately 100 foreign vessels and have been successful in about 15 of these raids. The total value of the alcoholic beverages destroyed by the sheriff's forces of Mobile county dur ing my administration aggregates over $750,G00.

(Leased Wire to Tho Ago.Herald)
 NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Foreshadow- ing, perhaps, the day when human vision can be extended to the far corn CTS of the earth with the aid of science, ten photographs were successfully transmitted from England to America by radio Sunday in the first public demonstration of the latest achievement of American inventive genius, the photo radiogram.
 A photographic negative was placed in the photoradiographing sending ap- paratus in Marconi House, London. Twenty minutes later the picture was received complete in the New York offices of the Radio Corporation of America. From Marconi House the pie ture had been carried by wire 200 miles to the high power radio transmitting station at Carnarvon, Wales. From there it was flashed through the air to the wireless receiving station at River head, R. l., and thence by wire again to the offices of the k. c. A., in down. town New York.
 The first picture to be sent Sunday was a photograph of the $. $. reclama- tion aground in the Tees river in Eng land. Surprisingly complete in detail. it was reproduced in New York after being carried across the Atlantic by electrical impulses.
 Other Pictures Follow
 At short intervals the other pictures followed, including portrait of the Queen Mother Alexandria, who cele- brates her eightieth birthday race from Cambridge; photographs of Prime Min ister Baldwin, Owen D. Young, who in- spired the experimental work which led to the invention; the Prince of Wales, Ambassador Kellogg and of the crowd watching the sending demonstra- tion in London.
 The photoradiogram is entirely an American development, having been worked out by R. H. Ranger, assisted

by Donald c. Ward in the laboratories of the radio corporation. It differs greatly from the telegraphic method of opment of the American Telephone and Telegraph company.
 The picture to be sent is photo graphed on an ordinary camera film. This is developed and the negative placed on glass cylinder. Inside the cylinder is an incandescent lamp, the light from which is focused in a min ute beam onto the film as the clyin- der is set in motion. At the light and dark portions of the picture are trans versed by the light beam, the intensity of the ray is changed. After passing through the film the beam strikes the sensitive element of a photo-electric cell, which transforms the light waves into electrical impulses, or waves which can be transmitted by radio in the same manner as dots and dashes.
 Light Controls Current
 The electrical resistance of the photo electric cell changes in accordance with the amount of light which falls upon it. The cell prdouces an infinite num- Der of different electric current values which correspond with the light and dark spaces of the negative. In order to cover the, entire picture the cylinder is rotated back and forth until the beam has covered the entire surface.
 The electrical interpretation of the picture is transmitted as the cylinder begins to rotate. At the receiving end here is another cylinder rotated at the same speed as the sender, which is controlled by the impulses. If the impulse is strong the pen is forced to touch the paper, if weak it does not come in contact with it. In this man. ner, when the beam passes through a light portion of the negatiy-., the i'm pulse is stronger and the pen is forced to the paper at the receiving station.
