MILLIONS INVOLVED

SAN FRANCISCO, December 19.-
Television patents, said to b worth
several million dollars, were involved
today in a legal battle here between
Eugene B. Core, New York capitalist,
on one side, and William Cox and the
TeleviSion Laboratories of San Fran
cisco on the other.
Core seeks an order enjoining Cox
from concluding any deals with the
TeleviSion Laboratories and at the same
time seeks an accounting of funds spent
by Cox in promotion of a television
deal, which he declares is pending.
Core told the Superior Court yester-
day he had advanced Cox $4,000 for
expenses in July of this year after they
had agreed to purchase, If possible,
valuable television patents held by the
TeleviSion Laboratories.
Cox denied making an agreement
with Core, although he admitted he had
offered 81 ,00O00 to the laboratories for
the patents. This offer was refused, he
said. Proposed purchase of the Tele-
vision Laboratories, valued by the own
ers at $25 1000, 900, the court was told,
was to have been the outcome of the
patent transaction.

EDITORIAL is ASsAILED.
Stimson and Adams Take Exception q
Posts Statements.

Posts Statements.
Secretary of State StimSon today
issued a statement in connection with
an editorial in today's Washington Post
which commented upon the absence OF
Secretary Adams of the Navy from the
conferences between members Of the
American and Japanese delegations to
the London conference.
His statement follows:
MY attention has been called to an
editorial in the Washington Post this
morning, which dwells upon the absence
of Secretary Adams from certain con-
ferences that are going on in Washing
ton with the Japanese delegates who
are on their way to the London con-
ference 1t is quite clear that it is
the deliberate intention of that editorial
to attempt to make trouble among the
American delegates to the conference
cabinet, to discredit our Government
before the japanese delegation and thus
to try to cause a breakdown OF the
London conference.
Holds Statement Is False.
"The utter falsity of the statement Is
evident If recount that the Japanese
delegates having indicated that they
would be represented by three persons
in the preliminary discussions, We IN
usual courtesy also determined to limit
our members, and Mr. Adams, who was
consulted by me, suggested that some
other member undertake it. and our
delegates were selected by Mr.. Adams
and myself.
every newspaper has a right to any
views it pfeaSeS upon the matters be-
fore the conference, and the WASH
ington Post has a full right to oppose
limitation of rams, but I do not be-
lieve the American people approve Of
attempts to humiliate and cause dis
sention in their Government before
representatives of foreign govern
ments."
Secretary Adams issued this state
ment:
II have read this morning an edi-
torial in the Washington Post. which in
dicates that my absence from certain
conferences between the American dele
gates and the japanese delegates, who
are on their way to the London confer
ence, has come about through some de-
sign aimed at the Navy and against my
wishes. The truth is exactly the con-
trary. the members, selected for that
conference. were arrived at between my
self and the Secretary Of State to make
wise division of duties among the
delegates"

EXPERT EXAMINES BULLETS.
Seeks to Determine Gangster's Role in
Moran Sayings.

Seeks to Determine Gangster's Role in
Moran Sayings.
CHICAGO, December 19 P).-Science'
microscopic eye enlarged the grooves Of
bullets today to determine If Fred
Burke, killer and kidnaper, played the
leading role in the st. Valentines day
massacre-most lurid of the murder
dramas attributed to his trigger finger.
Maj. Calvin Goddard, New York ball
listic expert, continued today his
scrutiny of the machine gun found in
the arsenal at Burke's lake front home
the same that fired the bullets found in
the bodies Of the seven Moran gangsters.
The study is not expected to be COM
pleted until tomorrow at the earliest.
Meanwhile the search for the re-
puted arch criminal-who killed Police
man Charles Skelly of st. Joseph last
Saturday after a minor traffic argu-
ment-was extended to include pos
sible hideaway with Canadian rum run
nerS.
Patrick Roche, investigator for the
States attorney, had predicted yester-
day that Burke would be captured in
Chicago by nightfall, but the man whom
Detroit police said made million in
ransoms, thousands more in bank rob-
berries and had killed at least dozen
persons was still the object of Nation
wide search today.
Bullets Identified.
Bullets fired from one of these guns
have been identified tentatively as SINH
lar to bullets found in the bodies Of
seven Moran gangsters who were mas
sacred last February in a North Clark
street garage. ~
Roche said gun No. 2347 was pur-
chased November IL, 1924, by Deputy
Sheriff Leslie Farmer of Marion, Ill,
during disturbances there. Since then
Farmer was reported to have been as
sociated with "Egan's rats" of st. Louis,
Roche said.
Gun No. 1880 was traced to Victor
Thompson of Elgin, ILL.,, who was under
stood to have bought it through P.
Vonfrantzius, acting as broker. Thomp-
son was questioned once before on the
ownership of machine guns. The guns
originally belonged to a detective story
publishing house Of Chicago.

MANSFIELD, Ohio, December 19.-
Deputy sheriffs today were searching
this region for Frederick r. Burke, st.
Joseph, Mich, gunman, after three resi-
dents reported they had recognized a
man as the killer. The man, accom-
panied by another, was reported en-
route East.
Ralph Smith of Mansfield was first
to report his belief that a man he met
in a restaurant was Burke. He said the
man resembled the gunman and that
he appeared anxious to get out Of
Mansfield. He asked the road to Pitts
burgh.
Later two telephone linemen tele-
phoned the sheriff and said that a man
whom they recognized as Burke, and a
companion asked them for cigarettes.
The suspect, they said. seemed highly
nervous and anxious to keep his face
covered. His right hand and arm were
bandaged.
Smith and the two linemen insisted
that the man they saw was Burke.

Buss Service Will Be Established
Between Delaware City ard Viii

Announcement was made last

Power Company that the trolley
line between Deemer Beach and
Delaware City will be discontinued
after June 9. This trolley line was
incorporated in 1899 by Harry A.
Richardson, of Dover, Frederick
H. Treat, of Wayne, Pa, Peter J.
Ford and Peter L. Cooper, Jr., of
Wilmington and Clarence P. King,
of Philadelphia. The road was
built in 1900 and continued to op-
crate until 1907 when it suffered
financial set-backs and failed. vii
bur Palmer and J. Chester Gibson
We're appointed receivers. The road
was sold at public auction on Jan
uary IA, 1911, and was purchased
on behalf of the stockholders By
John Richardson, Jr., Edward
Bringhurst, Jr., and William A..
Barr. Prior TO or following the
sale the road had not been in oper-
alton for about three years. Sui
sequently other persons became in
terested and the road was refnanc-
Ell and merged with other compan-
les having interests in New Castle.
In 1915 it became a part Of 4 local
transportation system. Due to I'M
proved public highways and the
convenience Of automobile traffic
the revenue Of this line has cor
stantly declined until at the pres
ent time there is d deficit Of about
$4,000 a year from its operation.
II was also stated that the present
owners of the Company never -e-
ceived any return on their invest
ment and that not only the money
which they paid for the line but alI
that has been invested in it for the
last several years will be total
loss. Much Of the roadbed il Iaid
in swampy territory and for th;5
reason the upkeep is quite eypen-

Chief Engineer of State High

letter to the newspapers of the

the practice of dumping refuse on
the highway right of way in many

points out that at considerable ex-
pense the maintenance men collect
large quantities of litter each

thrown or allowed to blow upon the
highways. Much of the dirt he be
lieves is unnecessary. A greater
offense, however, is the practice.
which seems to have grown up IN
some communities, of loading all
kinds of refuse and rubbish, truck
ing it a short distance from town;
and, when no one is looking, dump
ing it on the right of way or the
adjoining property. Usually this
dumping is done near woodland. o.
some other place of natural beauty
and an other wise attractive spot
is made repulsive and unsightly.
In at least one instance, a town is
known to have thus disposed Of tie
