far revealed before the senate cam- paign funds committee, $6O6,164.2S was spent directly in the republican senatorial contest which Frank L. Smith, chairman of the Illinois commerce commission won from Senator William B. Mckinley.
 Samuel Insull, Chicago public utilities executive. is known to have contributed s193,795.19 to the campaign. including $125,0oO di- rectly to Colonel Smiths organiza- ton.
 Having developed these contribu- tions by InsuIl, Chairman Reed has sought to emphasize through sev- eral witnesses the control which the commerce commission, of which Smith still is chairman, exercises over public utilities in which 1nsull has large holdings.
 The Chicago power magnate has been notified to appear again today before the committee to give his decision as to whether he would tell of the campaign contributions which he made other than those to the Smith fund and that of George F. Brennan, who won the demo- cratic senatorial fight.
 Since Insults first appearance at the opening of the investigation Monday, the committee had re- ceived testimony that he donated s1O. GOO to the CroWe- Barrett group and s10,000 to the Deneen faction which fought for control of Cook county in the primary.
 ] Senator Reed wants to find out whether the sum total of Insults gift for political purposes has been brought to light.
 Allen F. Moore, manager of the Smith campaign, also was on today's 1 list of witnesses. He was to inform the committee whether he had final ly determined to question it's author ity to compel him to disclose names of the large contributors to the Smith political fund.
 Moore had been given until yester- day to make up his mind. but the time was extended for a day at his request.
 Collection of st75,ooO by the Grove Barrett organization and the expenditure of s2,o00 of his own money on behalf of Senator Mckin- ley by Andrew Russell Jacksonville, lIn., banker, were testified to yes Iterday by the committee.
 In addition to the s10,00o given by Insull. Charles V. Barrett, treasurer lof the Crowe-Barrett group. told the committee that John Hertz, presi- dent of the Yellow Cab company gave s5.00O; and Albert D. Lasker former chairman of the Shipping board s2,500.
 Barrett testified that his faction as such had not supported Smith for the senatorial nomination, but Reed pointed out that the Grove Barrett group and Smith coincided lin their opposition to the Woriu court. ,,
 With a long list of witnesses elth- CT summoned or in prospect, 1t K now certain that the inquiry Will DC extended at least well into nex' week. Since both Chairman Reet and Senator LaFolIette, republican Wisconsin, are obliged to leave Chl caeo over the weekend, the inqnir' nrobably will be adjourned iron
 Friday to next Tuesday.

Back to Normal

West Palm Beach, Fla, July 29 R-The east coast of Florida had it's first day of normal weather yes- terday since early last Monday morning when the cyclonic storm which moved out of the Caribbean sea late last week began it's de- vastating blow. Full force of the winds were not felt until late in the afternoon yesterday. and today the east coast from Melbourne to Miami was taking stock of damage.
 As far as is now known, no lives were lost in the hurricane whose wind velocity at times reached so miles an hour. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars damage resulted to pleasure and work craft in Miami and Palm Beach harbor.
 The dock of the Palm Beach Yacht club was destroyed utterly. Miles of the famous Ocean Boule- ward at Palm Beach were ripped and torn by action of the waves of the sea. Awning were shredded, plate glass windows broken, trees levelled and fruit trees stripped, rendering an incalculable damage.
 Communication north of Palm Beach ceased Monday night. Tele- phone and telegraph wires along the coast were broken in hundreds of places.
 This community was without light or power last night. Hundreds of men were employed in clearing fall en trees and debris from the streets,
 No loss has been reported from the coastal shipping lanes.
 The above dispatch was relayed to the New York offices of the As. \ sociated Press by way of Havana Cuba, the only means of communi' cation from the storm stricken dis trict.

Through fife Static

After playing Three Deep with every wavelength under the sun, we are rather fatigued today. Last night was another flop--almost The change in the temperature and the various and sundry showers that vis- tied our coop in the course of the evening cramped our style to some extent. There was considerable static and other noises, coupled with fad ing which attacked everything in sight, except WTIC. There didn't seem to be a great deal of pep among the broadcasters either.
 When we started activities early in the evening. static was making it. self known. We hit WPG, Atlantic City, and had the pleasure of listen ing to a line of drivel read by Miss Hartford from typewriter sheet, doubtless prepared by her manager or the press agent for the beauty contest, or someone. Everything from the Steel Pier to the cup of coffee she had for breakfast yester- udS tiii llltu Iltl anu We lt ltlIIhlllS that she'll be just thrilled to death before she gets back. Why, oh, why, couldn't she have made a nice little extemporaneous talk, telling us about her trip so far. She waXed ex- oeedingly and falsely enthusiastic regarding certain items-but' what's the use! We only wish Miss Hartford had done her own talking. Then folks would have known something about her. As it is, the talk might just as well have been given by the fellow who reads the news items.
 Liszt's Second Rhapsody" was Madison concert orchestra from WIZ. As we listened to this number known to so many as thrill music" we could see the fire engines dash ing to the fire, the villain starting off in his high-powered car on his midnight mission, the hero tearing up the pavement in pursuit of the gang of bond thieves, the limited speeding toward the open switch while the engineer vainly tries to re- member whether or not he blew the whistle that last time. That's the Second Rhapsody" That number is played during the most exciting parts of all the movie serials and it really serves to get the audience all worked up. At it's conclusion we thought the announcer would pass out. He praised the number; he praised the orchestra; he praised the director of the orchestra: he praised the R. c. A.; he praised the inventor
New Britain herald., 1926-09-10

of radio for making 1t possible to put such a number on the air; in fact, he praised everything and everyone but himself. and for that reason we held slight amount of respect for him. That's one of the great faults of WJZ's announcers. They love to tell the audience what a great program they have the priv ilege of announcing.
 It seems as if we're doing noth- ing but pan the acts today. We have one more. We heard, through WMAF, South Dartmouth, another of those Tough Guy songs, and we swear that if we hear another we'll do something rash, or break out in one. The program came from WRNY, being rebroadcast or relayed or what have you. from the Massa- chusetts transmitter. The name of the alleged funny stuff was We Live Down by the Gas House." and 1t was the same thing all over again. "Winniger Woiks," When Francis Dances With Me" and all the rest rolled into one.
 There were wise cracks about how tough certain people were and the entire selection was just slightly blah. The harmony boys who sang the number had excellent voices and they knew how to blend them. "See If I Care" was another number sung and in that they acquitted them selves well.
 We received two surprises In close succession. One of them was WQAM, Miami, Florida, and the other was 6-KW, at Tuinicu, Cuba. We haven't recovered from either Of them. Last night was pretty terrible and to think that we hauled in anything like that! It's funny. WQAM came through very nicely and we heard two band selections, Around The World" a march, and "The Star | Spangled Banner" which was played as the closing number We also heard several soprano solos, or rather parts of several solos, since the sta ton faded and another broadcaster was croWding the southern for space. | 6-KW, not so very loud, amused US with the baseball scores of the day in both Spanish and English. These were followed by mandolin or guitar selections. We didn't stay long.
 Norman Brokenshire announced l the proceedings of the Atlantic City | beauty contest, transmitted by WPG and WIP. The affair was held in the | Garden Pier theater and the judges were going crazy trying to pick the most beautiful girl in evening dress. They had great time, and so did we. Our good time consisted mainly in trying to bring in the station with minimum of noise. At one time we thought we were going to be suc- cessful, but it proved to be only fading on the part of the station.
 
 There was not of music and there was lots of talking right near the microphone, several alleged wise cracks coming from the mouth of some alleged town cutup who was standing too near the mike" He should have been standing over in Niagara Falls. Norman was appar- ently having the time of his life, and whenever he was wanted they had to broadcast a call for him all over the place. But he explained everything carefully and that made

up for the raucous laughter by the alleged wisecracker. The applause by the audience was terrific at times, and this helped our loud speaker not. Between courses, so to speak, they had several entertainment fea- lures. One of these was dance by some lady who, 1t was claimed, had broadcast the sound of her shoes over the Eiffel Tower station in Paris. Tap dancing, we guess they call it. She perpetrated military dance last evening. It Is our sly ob- servation that she's a centipede, be- cause we heard more taps than ever could have come from two feet.
 WBBM, Chicago, hastened in moderately loud to tell us all about 1t. The station didn't fade a great deal and 1t was comparatively free from disturbance, away down there on 226 meters. An organ solo, "A Bunch of Stops" was presented as we listened in.
 We heard Emil Heimberger and his band play, in usual style, "A Girl In Your Arms" and "Katinka," from WTIC. The band was up to usual form and we enjoyed it.
 WLWL, New York came in loud and smooth with a program of chamber music, for which we were decidedly not in the mood, regard less of it's merits.
 That's all for today, thanks!
