NEW DEVICE GUSTS
STATIC FROM RADIO
"Monophone" viii Also Re-
duce Telephone Bills,
Says Gen. Squier.

Announcing the perfection of the
'monophone' to carry radio by wired
wireless" Maj. Gen. George o. Squier,
retired former chief signal officer of
the Army, declared yesterday that
radio of the future will be free from
static, obtained in the home on a
definite monthly figure and will ulti.
mately mean lower telephone rates.
when used in connection with tele.
phone lines.
Gen. Squier. who Is one of the
American delegates to the radiotele-
graph conference now in session here
said that the 'monophOne" has been
proved sound in practice. 1t utilizes
the present power and telephone lines
and would be offered to homes on an
agreed basis of several dollars per
month.
Although specific details of broad
casting programs are to be worked
out. he said, the telephone and power
companies Offering the programs
would do so from their own stations
through an arrangement with pres
ent nets"
The "monophone." small in con
struction, would be attached to pres
ent electric light sockets or to tele
phones and would not interfere with
their usual use.
The ''monophone.' a three tube
set, would be operated by buttons
which would control the frequency
1t would be permanently set to the
stations through which the programs
are offered. and the "upkeep" of the
present radio set would be eliminated

fered in cities and in nearby suburban
points. The plan would solve the
question of wave lengths for the
Radio Commission, he asserted, as ii
would leave the ether open for needed
use and for the larger broadcasting
stations. The instrument would be
virtually a small receiving set with
out the parts now used to tune out
static, switch stations and to con-
troll volume. Batteries would be un-
necessary, as the program would be
brought in by wire direct from where
it is being broadcast.
Enlarging upon his statement that
it would ultimately reduce telephone
rates, Gen. Squier asserted that it has
been demonstrated that the telephone
system of the United States is only
in actual use IS minutes per lay. this
is based on 100000 telephones, he
said, used on an average of six times
per day for full three minutes each
| day The additional revenue 70 the
companies from the double use of the
same lines as the cost of the mono
| phone would be low and would en-
able a reduction in rates, is his
| opinion.
| Gen. Squier said use of the mono
phone" would naturally cause some
loss to the present system of radio
but 1t would be of small import com
pared to the ultimate results.

DUPLICATE OF BYRD
PLANE IN CAPITAL
Navy Testing Three-Engine,
Four-PWrpose Fokker for
Marine Corps.

The latest addition to the air force
Of the Marine Corps-a Fokker three
engine monoplane equipped to be used
as a bomber, troop transport,
cargo plane or an ambulance plane
arrived at the Naval Air Station,
Anacostia, yesterday from the Fokker
factory at Hasbrook Heights, n. j.,
piloted by Bernt Balchen, test pilot
of the America, which carried four
men on a transatlantic flight under
the command Of Comdr. r. K. Byrd.
Shortly after it's arrival, Lieut.. S.
w. Galloway. chief of the flight test
section of the Naval Air Station, took
the plane aloft with nine persons in
the cabin in addition to himself for a
one-hour flight preparatory to accept
ing it formally from the factory on be.

will be put through the regular rigor.
Gus schedule of testing by Lieut.. Cal
laway and the other test pilots at the
station and il it meets service needs
satisfactorily will be turned over to
the Marines and placed in service i'm
mediately.
Duplicate Of America.
With the exception of few square
feet less in wing area, the big mono
plane is an almost exact duplicate of
the America. In place of the large
gasoline tanks which the America
carried, the new Marine ship has in
stallation to carry out any one OF the
four purposes for which 1t was d>-
signed. With his heavy load Lieut..
Galloway flew about Washington and
at intervals permitted the plane to
fly on two of it's three engines, which
sustained it perfectly in normal fight.
The addition of the big Fokker
monoplane to the Marine Corps air
force marks the largest plane that
organization has with the exception
of two or three antiquated Martin
bombers, which are being weeded out
to make way for the newer equip
ment.
Taking Plane to Florida.
Balchen returned to New Jersey
last night and tomorrow will fly a

COURT SELECT
i MAYOR TOMORROW
indianapolis Row Becomes
More Complex as Four

BY the Associated Press.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 20.
---the multiple mayoralty situation of
indianapolis trickled off into legal un.
derbrush today, with the certainty
that the status quo-two mayors i'll
office and two more in the offing-
will be maintained until next Monday
afternoon.
At that time, Judge Joseph Miner,
in Superior Court, will rule on the
motion of Ira NJ. Holmes, appointed
through former Mayor John L., Du-
vail, TO have the court dissolve its or
der, temporarily restraining Holmes
from interfering with Claude T. Neg

that he took the case under advise
ment. Public interest slumped, once
the spectacle of dual control had lost
its edge, and operations Of muniot ,al
departments, except those involving
finances, had the appearance Of n:r-
mality.
Attack Injunction Method.
Holmes array of lawyers told
Judge Miner that an injunction suit
was not a proper remedy. inasmuch as
an injunction was designed to protect
property rights.
Negley's counsel ins sted Duvall was
out before he resigned. Furthermore.

said the most Holmes could be was
acting city controller.
Holmes was acting city controller
between the time Duvall resigned as
mayor and the time his wife resigned
as acting mayor" Given said. The
law makes no provision for an acting
city controller becoming mayor. When
n mayor resigns, the city controller
becomes acting mayor, but if he or
she then resigns as acting mayor, the
law clearly provides that the council
shall fill the vacancy by electing
temporary mayor. Holmes never had
any claim as mayor or acting mayor"
Meeting of Mayors.
The comedy of the two acting
mayors was re-enacted at City Hall
today. Both claimants appeared for
work early and exchanged the face
tious salutations of Hello Mayor Neg
ley and Hello Mayor Holmes" No
business of importance was transacted.
The days proceedings were watched
with interest by Walter Myers, Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, defeated
by Duvall in the 1925 election, and
Joseph L. Hogue, city controller of
the preceding administration of the
late Lew Shank. They both assert
title to the place.
1 Myers said Duvall's disqualification
through conviction of violation of the
corrupt practices act made the may
orally revert to Myers. Hogue, in
turn, said the entire election in which
: Duvall got the place was outlawed
and that the mayoralty reverted to
4 him as the surviving head of the
Shank administration.
: During the afternoon police mus
tered by Negley guarded the mayors
office. Holmes forces made no at
tempt to enter. Locksmiths. acting
at Negley's orders, also changed the
locks on the doors. Heretofore both
sides had keys to the establishment.

CINCINNATI, April 15.-Smart-
ing under two successive defeats
sustained by their Reds at the hands
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, fans of
Cincinnati have launched an ener-
getic campaign for the return of
Hughie Critz to the fold.
Hughie is fishing down in Missis-

crease which Garry Hermann, not
the meanest of magnates, thus far
has denied him.
Already the infield work Of the
Reds has demonstrated the need of
young Mr.. Critz's immediate return.
A matter of $4,000 either way and
the thing can be accomplished.
Cincinnati fans have draped them
selves in sandwich boards and
paraded Redland Park, Haunting the
demand:

Petitions have been sent to Herr
mann and demonstrations staged in
the streets.
With Wally Pipp i'll in bed and

Pittenger has been trying to fill in
at second base, but the absence of
the brilliant young Hughie is evil

The chances are that Hermann
