AN INTERNATIONAL
ENOCH ARDEN STORY
BROUGHT TO LIGHT

NEW YORK, August 31.-An
international Enoch Arden story
in real life, with its tragic ending
has been disclosed with the sui
cides of Walter j. Fitzpatrick,
manufacturer, and his wife.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, a Belgian
girl, was married previously to
British officer in a war romance.
Believing that he had been killed
in action, she came TO this coun-
try and married Fitzpatrick. They
lived happily for a brief period,
until Mrs. Fit2patrick's first bus
hand reappearcd, relieving HIM
self of her.
The British officer had left the
home of his wife only Il few min
utes when she put on beautiful
yellow silk evening gown, closed
the doors and windows of her
home and asphyxiated herself.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who was in
Deland, Fla, shot and killed him
self when notified of her death.

LONDON, Aug. 3I.-A big heav-
lily built man in loose-fitting, com
Portable clothes brushes past us in
this London shop run by French
men for Frenchmen and where the
chief articles on sale are French
newspapers, magazines and books
and the vile French cigarets put out
by the French government through
its tobacco monopoly.
Three or four clerks, violent
French republicans all, run up to
greet the big man and ask solicitous-
ly about his health. And he asks
about theirs. Then he brings them
closer by a wink and tells them a
naughty story, and group of happy
Frenchmen laugh together.
But one soon notices they do not
address him as Monsieur. "Mo-
nseigneur" is the word that is used.
Monseigneur, Monseigneur!
Then it comes back to us-that
big felt hat, that bold nose, that
projecting chin, that blonde beard
now streaked with gray. All, Of
course, it's the Duke of Orleans,
head of the Houses of Bourbon and
Orleans, principal pretender to the
throne of France.
He was born in England and he
lives part of his time near London
and part near Brussels.
His personality remains a mystery
although in republican France there
is an active royalist party which
elects members to the French Par
lament, maintains an army of agi-
tators, the "Camelots de Roi," and
savagely bitter daily newspaper
"L'Action Franchise"
But few of his French followers
nave ever seen him close up and
simply human, as we have just seen
him in this French shop. Over in
France they know he has been Il
great hunter. They know he did
some exploring in the Arctic re-
gions of Greenland years ago.

CHARLESTON, Ga, Aug. 31.-
Joe Terrell, a negro, of 1913 Fort
street, Atlanta, while resisting ar
rest was shot and instantly killed
here Sunday afternoon by Ed Wal
ton, speed officer at Charleston.
Walton observed the negro driving
through Charleston in an automobile
at a reckless rate of speed and in
zig-zag movement, endangering
pedestrians and other motorists, and
when hailed by Walton, Terrell, it
is said, resisted and sought to
wrench the officers gun from his

PRAISES
GEORGIA SOLONS
Former Governor Declares it
Was What Body Didn't Do
That Counted Most

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 31.-BacE
from a vacation trip in Connecticut.
Former Goxetnor Jno. M. Slaton Of
Georgia today commended the work
OF the recent Georgia Legislature as
much for what it did not do as for
what it really did accomplish.
For one thing said the former
governor, 'the legislature left the
state constitution unimpaired. This
constitution has stood the test of
time and despite some agitation
there was nothing written in it that
would alter its beneficent provisions
1t was drawn by statesmen of the
old school - statesmen who knew
knew what they were about and it
admits of no change except. T
might say, for the worse. The haz-
ardous income tax, likewise the clas
slflcation tax, were not upon us. The
state income tax has been tried in
a number of states and found want
ing. The classification tax puts the
real burden on land and for an aq-
rlcultural state, like Georgia, it is
not needed and fortunately was not
passed"
The former governor called at
the fact that the session of 1925
was the first biennial session of the
Legislature.
st was the mandate of the pee
pie that the legislature should not
meet but once every two years." he
said. Talk of an extra session has
very properly subsidized. If the leg
islature cannot transact the business
required of it during SO days there
Is something radically wrong with
its machinery Let there be an end
of extra session talk"

Nor does 1t cost participant one
cent, either now or later, to parti
cipate and secure any-of the gifts.
The only stipulation The Times
Recorder makes in connection with
entrants is that no employees in the
office can enter Children under
Is will be allowed to enter only up-
on written consent of their parents.
Interest Should Be Great
The liberality of this offer; the
fact that everybody wins something,
and the ease with which even the
biggest of the gifts may be won
just little earnest application and
effort in vote-getting during spare
moments, will do it's expected to
create genuine interest among our
people, and there should be a good
ly number of entrants. The char
acter and the class of the automo-
biles and the very fact that every
one who participates wins a prize is
expected to attract candidates from
every section of the territory of
which Americas is the hub,
Anyone would be proud to own
any one of the automobiles and gifts
which the Times Recorder is giving
you the opportunity to obtain free
And anybody can certainly use any
Of the sums Of cash which the Times
Recorder will distribute to those who
do not win cars and listed gifts
To become a candidate in the
gift distribution is an easy matter
To win even the biggest of the cars
is Just as easy, if you but apply
yourself during spare moments.

paper men here last night shortly
after his arrival from st. Louis.
Ruth, in company with group of
Chicago newspapermen, went at
once to a hotel, there to submit to
an interview.
"Huggins has been pulling the
wool over Ruppert's eyes for a long
while, and now he's running out OF
excuses and I'm the goat" Ruth
said.

$4,000 and suspended for miscon-
dict off the field, by manager Hug

eff Higgins is manager, I am

or quit, regardless Of my contract
which expires next year"
Ruth told newspaper men that his
purpose in coming here was to see
Commissioner lands, and an effort
was made to reach baseball's chief
executive Sunday night in the hope
that Ruth could continue to New
York today. He plans to leave here
at noon on the Century.
Ruth said he wanted to seek a re-
duction of the $4,000 fine.
"Why I know of guys killing peo-
pie, and even bootleggers, who do
not get that tough a fine. 1t amt
right"
This was the first statement Ruth
made in regard to the fine. Previous
ly he made some scathing remarks
about Manager Higgins, whom he
charged with passing the buck Of
the New York team to me-" be-
cause of its alleged failure to make
a better showing during the pres

causes electrical energy to change into
heat energy and in some cases this is
not desirable. In other cases. how
ever. as for instance in heating de-
vices. and in vacuum tubes. the con-
version OF electrical energy into heat
energy is desirable.
When an alternating current is
made to flow into circuit containing
an inductance coil an opposition to the
flow is set up and change of energy
takes place. The electrical energy is
transformed into electromagnetic en-
ergy and a magnetic field is set up in
the space surrounding the coil. AS
far as the electric current is con-
cerned, this action offers an opposi-
ton to the flow Of the alternating cur
rent. This resistance effect offered by
a coil to the flow Of an alternating
current is called "inductive resistance"
of the COIL This reactance is depend
ent on the frequency of alteration of
the current and is higher for high
frequency currents than it is for low
frequency currents. The relation be-
tween reactance, frequency and Undue
tance is expressed by the formula,

Current Flow.
A condenser connected in an alter
mating current circuit also opposes the
flow of the current and transforms
electrical energy into electrostatic
energy. This opposition of q con-
denser to the flow of an alternating
current is called the condensive or
capacity reactance in the circuit to
distinguish it from the inductive re-
actance of a circuit. The formula
shown in figure 2 gives the relations
between the capacity reactance "Xc'
the frequency "f" and the capacity
"C' of the condenser in farads In
both cases whether inductive react
ance or capacative reactance the re-
actance Is measured in ohms.
In an alternating circuit such as
shown in figure 3, containing a source
of alternating current f, resistance
f, inductance LIN and capacity c, the
total impedance or total opposition to
current flow may be calculated by
using the formula shown in figure
where u is the impedance; r is the
resistance and the other terms are the
same as given in the early part of the
article.
Ohm's law still holds true for calcu-
lating current and voltage, except that
the value of impedance or total oppo-
sition to flow is substituted for the re-
sistance factor used in making calcu-
lations for direct current.

STANDARDS OF RADIO
CONFERENCE TOPIC
Usefulness to Public Factor in
Licensing Stations in Future,
It Is Held.

Radio broadcasting stations which
apply. for broadcasting licenses must
show evidence of public usefulness
and establish a field of public service.
This matter probably will be one OF
the outstanding problems to be con-
sidered by the forthcoming radio con-
ference soon to be called by Secretary
Hoover.
Declaring that the air avenues for
radio broadcasting are jammed to the
limit with the nearly 500 stations now
operating, and with nearly 100 more
preparing to apply for broadcasting
licenses. Mr.. Hoover said the confer
ence will probably be called upon to
establish standards Of service which
a. broadcasting station must maintain
before a license Is issued. He said this
probab bly, will mean additional legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Hoover said the Commerce De-
partment, which Is charged with su-
peryision over radio broadcasting, has
gone on for three years watching
broadcasting stations multiply In num-
ber, hoping the situation would rem
edy itself.
There is no present outlook for a
lessening of air congestion, and Mr..
Hoover said there probably would be
continuous increase in the number
of broadcasting stations. A time
rationing system Is now in use. he
added, and many of the larger stations
are forced to divide their time with
some of the smaller stations. I'VE

REMUS MAKES $4,000
BOND IN LIQUOR THEFT
Says "Exorbitant' Sum Was Re
suit of Refusal to Talk of
Distillery Theft.

By the Associated Press
ST. LOUIS, September 16.-George
Remus, former bootlegger Of Cincfn-
natl. gave bond of $50 900 yesterday
before United States Commissioner
Atkins after failing to effect a reduc-
ton in the amount. 1t was signed by
two professional bondsmen.
Shortly after his release, Remus as
serted his failure to obtain a reduc-
ton was the result OF refusing to
make a statement to Federal prosecu-
tors involving others in the Jack
Daniel whisky distillery theft, for
which Remus will be tried here Sep
tember 81. He said the amount was
"outrageously exorbitant.'
Seventeen others, including William
MotlOw, Tennessee distiller; William
J. Kinney, brother of Mike Kinney,
Missouri State Senator, and A. ].
Hellmack, deputy collector of internal
revenue here, were indicted. The
whisky was valued at 81 800, 900.
Remus had been a prisoner At the
city Jail since Saturday night, when
he was brought here from Cincinnati.
He will act as his own counsel.
