nr The Assnelateh Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Olympic, Colombes, France, July 2, ---The brilliant victory of Jackson V. scholz, the fleet footed New York A. C.. sprintcr. for America, in the ea0- meter dash and the widening of the United States margin on points over Finland despite the victory of Willie Ritola, the flying Finn, in the 5000 meter stceplechase, giving him tho honor of the first double Olympic tri- umph. featured the fourth day of the 1924 Olympic track and field cham pionship.
 The point score was: United States, io5: Finland, 7s.
 The stars and stripes was run up to the top of the victory pole for the second time of the day when Dan Kin sey. University of Illinois, won the no meter hurdles while the sensational 200 yard sprint race saw America take revenge for its defeat in the 100 meter dash by Harold Abrahams, the British ace, who finished last today. Tn this event, Charles W. Paddock, Los Angeles, took second place to scholz while Bayes Norton, Yale, and George Hill, University of Pennsyl- vania, gave the United States e total of 20 points in this event alone.
 With eleven events completed, the point score was:
 United States 1855; inland 73: Great Britain 34h; Sweden 1SIs France iSh; Hungary 71s; Switzerland B. South Africa 5; Norway 4; New Zea- land 1.
 Scholz. the speedy New York A. C., sprinter, won a spectacular duel from his fellow countryman Charley Pad- dock in the 200-meter dash final in which Harold Abrahams. the British victor in the 100 meter event, finished last.
 Scholz Equals Record.
 scholz came from behind in the last 20 meters and beat Paddock by a foot in the time of s1 3-5 seconds, equal ling the Olympic record.
 Scholz and Paddock finished so close together 1t seemed like a dead heat from the stand. and the judges required several minutes to make their decision. After his flying leap toward the tape Paddock, who appar- ently twisted his ankle, fell to the ground. It was several minutes be- fore he was able to take to his feet and limp off the field.
 Abrahams Near Collapse.
 The British threat in this event, in- stead of being made by Abrahams,

FRESH AIR FUND IS

 Per Day to Run Camp

Only g arrived at the desk of the
 fresh aid editor of the Herald today for the New Britain Fresh Air camp check from Laurel Court Order of Amaranth was for S5 and the balance was from friends
 These contributions are appreciated and are welcomed by the fresh air editor, but the children at the camp surely have more friends than are being heard from. It costs about S65 to run the camp for a day
 Fortunately for the New Britain children who are in need of the as- sistanca of their friends. the average Is much larger. The needed S5,500 will be realized, but not until the other friends with their ones and Ayes get started sending in their contributions as well as those who can afford more.
 Officials of the camp have asked the Herald to emphasize the restric- ton on visitors between the hours of 12 and p. m, and also after supper in the evenings. They say these re- slTlCtlOflS are TOT lllt btltlll Ol lHt children. While they say they like to have friends call at the camp it the schedule and often up- sets the children who are getting some good out of their outdoor pc riod. Children who are perfectly contented until, the arrival of the parent often show signs of home sickness afterwards and in one case at least this year it was necessary to send child home, because of home sickness following a visit of the parents.

Senator Walsh Of Mon tana Is Mentioned Az Possible Vice-Presi- dential Nominee.
Break Comes Rapidly ss Delegations Desert Fla. vorite Sons and Swing to Best Available Remaining Candidate.


 Madison Square Garden, New York, July 9. - John w. Davis of West Virginia. was nominated for president today by the dem- ocratic national convention after the 103rd ballot.
 The opposition of William Jennings Bryan and tke attempt of William c. McAdoo to deliver his strength to Meredith failed to stop him.
 The general opinion around the hall was that the vice-presi. dency would be offered to Sena- tor Walsh of Montana, the chair man of the convention.
 So New York and delegation leaders all over the hall were on their feet clamoring for recogni- tion to change their votes to Davis. Illinois changed to Davis making his total 649. Then New York gave him 60 of her 90. making the Davis total 699.
 The hall was in an uproar, the Davis band wagon was moving with full momentum and every body was scrambkng to get on. Changes in votes piled in fasteY than the clerks could record them.
 Beginning with this morn- ing's balloting the movement to Davis gathered a momentum which could not be retarded and gradually but surely through succeeding ballots the votes flopped over into the John w. Davis column as state after state either increased his offer- ing or turned over its whole quota.
 Bryan's opposition to Davis was swept away in the rain of Davis votes which swept over the convention. The attempt of the McAdoo forces to make E. T. Meredith of Iowa the heir to the McAdoo strength failed and when the Davis flood was rising so fast that all other candidates were being swept before it. Iowa, Meredith's home state withdrew him from the contest and voted for Davis.
 The scenes of disorder swept the convention as everybody clamored for a chance to join the winning forces. When the lproad was at it's height Thomas Taggart of Indiana mounted a chair and moved the nomination of MT. Davis by exclamation.
 The motion was carried with roar and Chairman Walsh shouted into the din before him:
 "The chair declares the Hon. orable John w. Davis the nom- inee of this convention
  There was continuing drift to John w Davis of West Virginia as the progressed in the democratic national convention today. It carried him on to new high mark with Oscar w. Underwood O. Alabama still closely behind.
 Attempts of the McAdoo forces to bequeath their strength 10 E. T. Mere iith of Iowa were not successful and some Of the steadfast McAdoo bat. talions in the long fight fiopped over nto the Davis column on the 1o2nd ballot
 This was a gain Of 99 2-s for Davis; a gain of 117.5 for Underwood; gain of e5 for Walsh and loss of ss 2-s for Meredith.
 On the 102nd ballot McAdoo had 2f votes still sticking to him and Smith had A. They came from the last 1itehers in both camps.
 Davis sprang into the lead in the breakup of the McAdoo and Smith forces which began on the 1o1st bal- lot

MacDonald's statement.

Mir Macdonald continued: we are facing an exceedingly intricate series Of misunderstanding which have grown mp in the last few years. IL will take time. patience and generosi- ty of feeling between the two coun- tries to settle them, Given these con- ditions, our countries will again be- come the most friendly on earth.
 We are not enemies trying to ap- pear as friends. We are friends try ing to clear away differences. We have succeeded fin making a substan- tial beginning but we must take up one thing at time. The solution to one question will open the way to two more solutions. We are not magi- clans and we are obliged to deal with public opinion and with our paria- ments."

WORK STARTED
ON DENVER
STATION
Plans VIII Complete General
Electric company's Nation-
0irdiing System

work has been started on the
Denver, Colo. broadcasting station
Of the General Electric Company.
In the late fall or early winter a
new voice win be on the air. This
station win complete the General
Electric's -girdling system Of
three stations, the first Of which,
WGY, opened at Schenectady, N.
II, early In 1922. and the second.
KGo. at Oakland. Calf, early ii
1924.
IN the construction Of the Denver
station full advantage VIII BE- taken
Of the experience gained In the
operation Of both the Schenectady
and Oakland broadcasting plants.
Every technical advance proved by
extended use win be included in the
equipment and the entire plant,
like the Oakland station, will be
housed In Its own building. Provi
sion will be made in the equipment
to 60 to higher power than u now
permitted should the regulations OF
the Department. Of Commerce be
changed.
Plan Of Building.
The station, q two-story structure
will be l0catede on a 3O0x25O foot
plot. four miles from the heart 81
Denver and on the main eastern
motor highway. The studio build.
ing win be 6ex47 feet and the frat
floor win Be divided into reception
room and offices Tor the executives,
the correspondence and the pro.
gram forces. yOn the second floor.
will be two studios, q waiting room
and q control room for the sta
tons amplifying equipment.
Unlike WGY,4 where the towers
are located on top Of five story
building, a quarter Of a mile from
the control room, or at KGO, where
the towers are built on the ground,
also q quarter Of q mile from con-
troll room and studio, the towers Of
the Denver station will be built on
the ground, one on each side Of the
studio building. The antenna wires
win be directly above the power
house.
Antenna Plan.
The towers will be Of steel, $50
feet high ana triangular in shape.
They win support q three!wire mul.
tiple-tuned antenna. Distance be-
tween towers will be $50 feet and
the spreaders will be 100 feet apart.
one down lead going directly into
the power room over the artificial
antenna unit, and the second down
lead win terminate in the tuning
equipment, located In q small build
ing at one end Of the antenna.
At this premature date no infor-
nation IL available. on either the
proposed wave length Of the station
or its plan Of operation. It Is more
than likely, however, that the wave
length to be assigned to the Denver
broadcasting station viii be over
500 meters and that q 1,000-watt rat
ing will be maintained. The high
altitude Of Denver should make the
new broadcasting outfit particularly
effective over long distance IL the
high power equipment now proposed

MOVIES
IS GOAL OF
Tests
Device Capable Of Transmit
ting Pictures Is Tried Out
in England.

LONDON, July 49, British radio
specialists are experimenting In
the transmission Of motion pictures
by radio, as Is also @. Frances
jenkins In America.
Broadcast listeners around Lon.
don have heard" moving pictures
by radio many times, but few fans,
IL any, have seen them, because
they are not possessed OF the proper
receiving apparatus. All the listen.
ers heard was high-pitched, inter-
mittent whistle.
Recently q radio device capable
OF transmitting m otion pictures
which can be received on tube sets,
similarly to music and speeches,
was tested by the inventor, J. l..
Baird, operating from q south coast
town in England.
The transmission apparatus Il
said to be simple, the object to be
transmitted being placed Ia q beam
OF light before q rotating, perfo.
rated disk. Rays Of light then
pass through Q second rotating disk
and are received on selenium roll.
They are then translated into an
electric current.
Receiving sets win be equipped
with another rotating disk equipped
with ring Of electric lights ar
ranged IN positions corresponding
to the holes in the disk Of the
transmitter. Az the disk revoIves
rapidly, the lamps are lighted BY
the incoming signals.
Earlier experiments In television
transmitted a sharp image, but 1t
was subject to flickerine. This
difficulty has now been overcome,
It H. understood, through the EN-.
ployrnent OF the revolving disk, and
a picture similar to q brush draw.
ing IL reproduced at the receiving
end.
"a cinema picture can be trans.
mitted so faithfully that every
movement IL reproduced" the IA.
ventor states. TO insure the dual
operation Of both the transmitting
and receiving disks at exactly the
same speed, q radio wave ID sent
out by the transmitter which ID
used to regulate the speed Of the
receiving motor.
