WAR SECRET
RELEASED TO
ship OWNERS
Inventor Allows Use of De-
vice to Eliminate Code
Interference.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Uncondi-
tional release of a wartime radio
secret obviates all excuses for the
persistence of interference from
spark transmitters on ships.
This release is given by r. f..
Thompson. radio engineer and manu-
facturer, on approval of the United
States Navy Department. 1t is Of
fered free to all ship owners, with
no strings tied to it, except the sug-
gestion that permission for use of
the secret. be obtained from the Navy
Department.
The secret covers the invention of
a device that practically eliminates
code interference from broadcast re-
ception. 1t costs little money to equip
present spark sets with this instru-
ment, and, especially saves ship
owners the cost of junking their
spark equipment.
Thompson asks no money or roy
alties for himself or his company,
and in fact offers his services free to
ship owners who ask his advice. He
has even had his company's engineer
ing department draw up plans of the
device and compile essential engi-
neering information for its installa-
ton.
Thompson's sole idea in this action
is his interest in freeing the air of
interference to broadcast programs,
especially along the coast and great
lakes region. He was permitted TO
release his device when the Navy
Department declared it's intention Of
discarding the spark transmitted for
the vacuum tube type.
The apparatus is a sort Of wave
filter, set between the spark circuit
and the aerial circuit so as to sift
down the broad range of wave
lengths sent out by the spark trans
mitter to the one wave-length re-
quired for aerial transmission and
reception. All the interfering waves
of the spark transmitter are thus
eliminated in favor of the main wave
for transmission
In other words the device replaces
the broad tuning of spark stations
with sharp tuning and less interior
ence with other stations.

KORETZ, SWINDLER, !.
DIES IN PENETENTIARY

Chicago.-Leo Koretz swindler. died
in the state penitentiary hospital at
Joliet. He was there only few days
over month.
Koretz' death fulfilled his sardonlc
prophecy that his one to ten year SEN
tence was in reality death sentence.
KOretz, Chicago's Friendship tinan-
cier," for several years before Deem
Der, 1928, had been an abundant host.
He had, it seems, swindled from his
"Rearest' that he might "set em up"
for his dearest"
AS the successful promoter Of the
miraculous oil wells in the Bayano
river lands of Panama he had money,
he spent money, and he made money
for friends and relatives and racial
kinsmen, and all from whom he would
take it as investment.
1t was late in November, 1923, that
the amiable financial wizard sent off
an investigating committee down Bay
ano river way. He danced and dined
as the time drew near for this COM
mittee to reach its destination. He
knew the JIG was up.
II was almost time for the big reve-
lation, but not quite. On the morning
Of December 5, 1923, Koretz left for
New York. A party of friends waved
him unsuspecting alden. A week later,
December II, the Bayano committee
reported.
The easy-flowing oil that had been
thought to mix with the quickly null
tiplying dollars was nothing but a
mud bank. The swindle was estimated
at $5,000,000 at that time.
Saturday, November %, 1924, Koretz
was captured in Halifax. N s., where
he had been living as Leo Keyte.

Coolidge Puts Ban
on Gun Elevation

Washington President Coolidge
virtually killed the proposition to ele-
vate guns of the American navy. He
presented his stand with unmistakable
detiniteness at the White House. He
believes that elevation Of the guns on
capital ships would mean a return to
the old competitive armament program
and he is prepared to resist such a
policy with all the ,power at his COM
mand.
The President believes that interpre-
tatiOn of the naval treaty is minor
factor in the determination of an an
swer to the question. Mr.. Coolidge be-
lieves that the spirit, rather than the
letter of the treaty, should be the
guide of America, since technical con-
struction of a treaty may be carried
so far as to make imperative any pact
between nations.
