passed beyond, November 18, 1912
Even death has a wonderful mis-

Though it robbed us OF orc that

No matter how great our despair
Does not heaven seem nearer and

To know that our beloved mother

NEWSPAPER CLIPPING
OF SIXTY YEARS AGO
VERY AMUSING NOW

In this age of airplanes, radio, wire
less telephony and the death ray, the
following clipping from Boston news
paper published 81 years ago and sent
to a representative of the Douglas
Dispatch by Hudson Maxim, famous
inventor, who recently visited here, is
of special interest. Fortunately the
editorial view toward new inventions
and ideas is more tolerant now:
"a man about 46 years of age giving
the name of Joshua Coppersmith, has
been arrested in New York for at
tempting to extort funds from ignor-
ant and superstitious people by exhib-
itng a device which he says will con-
vey the human voice any distance over
metallic wires so that it will be heard
by the listener at the other end.
"He calls the instrument a tele-
phone which is obviously intended to
initiate the word telegraph, and with
the confidence of those who know the
success of the latter instrument with
out understanding the principles on
which it is based. Well informed peo-
pie know that it is impossible to trans
nit the human voice over wires, as it
may be done by dots and dashes OF
the Morse code, and that, were it pos
sibIe to do so, the thing would be o
40 practical value.
1.-The authorities who apprehended
the criminal are to be congratulated
and it is hoped that the punishment
will be prompt and fitting, that it may
serve as an example to other schemers
who enrich themselves at the expense
of their fellow creatures"
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-01-05
A APPLICATIONS FOR
AUTO LICENSES ARE
COMING VERY SLOWLY

Applications for 1927 automobile Ii
3censes for Douglas are coming in very
slowly, according to statement
Tuesday afternoon by James A. How
ell deputy assessor for the Douglas
district. Although the deputy assess
ors office in the city hall has been
opened since December Is, only 365
applications have yet been made out
of an estimated total of 5000.
Douglas residents are likely to wait
too long to make their applications,
Howell states. "The law requires that
every car have license plates by Janu-
airy 1, but the authorities have allowed
80 days grace in order that the people
have plenty of time.
ut requires about week to get the
plates back from Tombstone after the
applications have been received there
and little time to get them there
after they are received. If the people
wait too long, there will be such a
rush of applications at the county
seat the last two weeks that all the
plates cannot be sent here by Febru-
ary l, and the sheriff has announced
that drivers of all cars who do not
have 1927 licenses by February | will
be arrested
