Gathered by Our Special
Correspondent.

town meeting April LIST. The OBJECT
in voting this tax is for the better
ment Of the POtosi and Lancaster
road that has been and is now, in al
most impassabile condition This road
is used by the people of PotOsi more
than any leading out of here, and a
good, hard substantial road is needed
The people of PotOsi are asked for
$1,000. The assessed valuation of the
town exceeds 100000, and the per-
cent Of tax will be so small that no
one should hesitate to vote for the tax
who has good roads at heart
Citizens Of the city of Lancaster
have raised $1,000 for this road. Now
it is up to the towns of So. Lancaster
and PotOsi to each vote $1,000. This
will total $4,000 The county will
come across with another $4,000 and
$4,000 can be secured from the state
and every dollar of the $4,000 will
be spent on this road. 1t is to the adj
vantage OF the people of Potosi to vote
this tax and not let it be said that the
old town turned down good road
project.

CRIME INCREASE BLAMED
TO LAXITY OF JURIES

Increase of crimes Of violence in
the United States is due to Iaxity
OF juries and the apparent disre-
gard Of evidence offered in criminal
cases, according to Congressman
Henry L. Jost of Missouri who was
the principal speaker last night at
q meeting Of the Policemen's Assoc
citation in Pythian temple.
Congressman Jost said jurors too
often let the appearance of a
criminal or the flowery language
Of the defense counsel sway them.
Mr.. Jost promised to support the
policemen in their fight for better
conditions and pledged his vote to
any measure which might be of
benefit to them.
C. j. P. Weber reported that

Device Amazes Delegates
to N. Y. Meeting.
BY international News Service.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Pub-
fishers and editors from all over the
country attending the annual con.
venfiop OF the American Newspaper
Publishers' Association here are to-
day discussing with amazement the
most modern method Of news trans
mission without wires-th~ radio
typewriter.
This unique machine is known as
the International News Service high
speed automatic radio printing sys-
tenn. and is being demonstrated by
its inventors, and M. Koenigsberg.
president OF the international News
Service.
The first public demonstration Of
the device was made in q room at
the Waldorf. Astoria Hotel, whsre,
operated in daylight from a sixty.
foot reception aerial outside a win
dow, 1t Stook words from the air at
the rate of sixty.five q milute with
an accuracy which w. g. III. Finch,
one Of the inventors, set at v01a

Prints "StOry From Air."
1.-THE story from the air was sent
by an operator in the experimental
laboratory OF the news service a
mile and a half away, and 1t was
delivered automatically and per.
fectly written on a typewriter.
1t can be speeded up to transmit
100 words a minute. Electro.radio
engineers experimental three and
one-half years before the device was
made ready for commercial use.
Veteran newspaper men who wit.
messed the demonstration declared
themselves astounded and pointed
out that the invention makes posi-
BILE the transmission to any paper,
no matter how remote, of daily
news report without the expense Of
telegraph wires.
Proud Of Other Tests.
Mr.. Koenigsberg, replying to their
congratulatory remarks, said.
I'VE are proud to have been privi-
legged to work out this fascinating
problem OF transmitting the printed
word through the air onto a sheet
OF typewriter paper. To have sug-
geSted such a thing a short decade
ago would have been to invite the
services Of an aliepist."
The system has been an daily
operation between Tarrytown, N. Y,
anu Columbus Circle for year as
an endurance test, and between San
Francisco and Los Angeles, $50
miles by air line.
The inventors and developers of
the equipment are Finch, William
A. Bruno, and A. NJ. Stevens.
George Useman assisted them in
their final experiments.
