New York Will ShOw

NEW YORK, May 20 G.N.Sl.
Census supervisors here today
estimated New York's popula-
ton would show an increase Of
approximately 9 per cent over
1920. They fix the 1880 count
in the neighbor hood Of
6,150,000.
II the estimate is correct,
the gain in population will be
the smallest in percentage re.
corded for q decade since the
first Federal census in 1890.
The estimate was made on re-
turns from 30 assembly dis.
trictS, with 80 still to report.
The count in 1920 was
5,620,04S.
1t is also estimated that Man.

WALSH BACKS
Up VIEW Of
SEN. JONES
Sheppard, Long Acknowledged
Real Prohibition Leader,
Willing for Poll In Texas
Rx GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE X. HOLMES
The sturdy oaks of prohibition
that for ten years have stood
firm in all kinds of storms are
beginning to sway little to
catch the breeze Of popular
opinion.
Nearly all the Senate drys came
around today to support the posi-
ton of Senator Wesley L. Jones
(R.) of Washington, author OF
the "five-and-ten" law, that If the
people of their respective States
want referenda on modification
of the Volstead act they will
vote to submit the question to
the people.
It may be that campaign year
has something to do with this
remarkable reversal of policy on
the part of the Senate'S out
standing drys.
Seek State Vote
It may be that they have been
impressed by recent polls show
ing 43 of the 48 States to be wet
but whatever the cause it was
apparent today that the Congress
Sional pillars of prohibition will
no longer oppose putting prohi-
bition to a popular vote in the
various States.
The professional dry organiZa-
tions like the Anti-Saloon League
the Methodist Board Of Temper,
ance, Prohibition and Public
Morals, and Kindred Associations
are deeply disturbed over the sit.
uation. They are deluging dry
Senators with protests against
any yielding at all, however
slight, to what they consider
''wet propaganda" Nevertheless,
so many drys are committing
themselves in favor Of State refer
enda that they may find it diff.
ficult to oppose them later on.
Walsh Causes Furore
Senator Thomas j. Walsh 3D.
Of Montana, who has remained
consistently dry despite the fact
that his State has twice voted
wet, caused further CONSERVATION
among the drys today with his
statement that he was perfect
ly willing" to see prohibition put
to the test again in his State,
and that he would stand by the
vote in such a referendum. This
is further than the Montana Sena-
tor has ever gone before. He is
a candidate for reelection this
year, and facing a stiff fight.
Senator Sheppard CD of
Texas, co-author of the Eight
eenth amendment, who is &C
counted the real dry leader of
the Senate, said he would not
be inclined to oppose a referen-
dunn in Texas if the people
wanted it, but he said he was so
certain of Texas aridity that he
considered it useless expense and
trouble. Sheppard also is a can
dldate for reelection.
Vets to Press Fight
The organized vets, militant
now under the leadership of the
Association Against the Prohibi.
ton Amendment, are planning to
take advantage of the situation
that has been created, and press
for state referenda wherever
possible.
1t is probable that the forth
coming November elections will
see a greater number of states
voting directly or indirectly on
the question than ever before,
and that. 1882 will see still more
of them.

Members Of the harbor precinct took
up q collection among themselves to

that although he wasn't actually struck

Secondly, he hopes to secure Q patent
on Q "namtth" double combustion
motor. which, he says. burns the same
gas twice. According to Martin, moth
ing like 1t has ever been patented be-
fore In this country.
Martin designed the motor himself
after no little experimentation in New
York. The tests in part consisted of
catching monoxide gas in glass jugs
and then exploding the gas with blow
torch. The resulting noise was terrific
and the jugs were blown to pieces,
a~alf IN t1n In
ventor, that there are latent power
possibilities In monoxide gas. His ex-
periments in this direction, he said,

and money at the same time.
Various dealers along the road, how
ever, gave him q gallon Of gas from

until his battery went dead. He picked

on his shoulder back to the dealer, but
that gentleman wouldn't take 1t back,
not even as a gift. He and his wife
spent the next two days parked on the
roadside until q farmer came along and
gave him an old Ford battery, which
lasted into Washington.
In Baltimore he met with q most
unusual situation. Several hlling sta

give him gallon Of gas. but under the
law, they told him, he was obliged to

HOPE FOR SECRET
RADIO MESSAGES
Marconi Developing Short
Wave Beam With Great
Possibilities.
BY Radio to The star,

ny Radio to The Star.
NOME. Italy, October li.-Secret
radio messages will soon be reality If
experiments now being carried out by
Senator Guglielmo Marconi, famed
italian radio wizard, prove successful.
The potential value Of this invention
In sending confidential commercial mes
sages in peace times Is outweighed only
by the value 1t would have In war,
when 1t would enable airplane observers
and spies for the first time to send and
receive messages without fear OF de-
lection by enemy spoilers.
System Is Developing.
signor Marconi, its is learned, has al
ready so perfected the short wave beam
signal system that he Is able to COM
municate with bombing squadron 100
miles distant without having other sta
lions outside the line of the beam listen
In. Thus in the eventuality Of war
planes could be given orders while in
flight warning them Of enemy defenses
or mfavorable weather. Such signals
proved highly disastrous during the
World War because they were inter-
cepted and decided in time TO give
away the maneuvers.
Likewise private signals can be COM
municated to spies operating in enemy
territory and to front line trenches
from headquarters so that they will be
received only by the portable sets for
which they are intended and not by
the enemy unless it happens to have
set In the line of the beam.
Nv developing control of wave lengths
to q point approaching perfection, In
Perception of signals by outsiders IS also
rendered q virtual impossibiltty. Thus
a spy or q radio operator on an air.
plane by sending on IN unknown wave
length could be detected only BY tho
bareSt chance unless an enemy listener
knew precisely which wave length was
being used.
Waves in Straight Lima
Despite his many cfaeial duties as
president Of the Italian Academy, Sig
nor Marconi Is as intensely interested
as ever In snort-wave possibilities, Exact
regulation Of wave lengths down TO .
fraction Of q meter Is problem to
which he has given great attention and
It Il understood that his experiments
In that direction are proving highly
fruitful. The more exactly wave
lengths can be regulated. the more pos
able 1t viii be to escape detection.
Development Of the beam system TO
such an extent that waves may be con-
fined almost to q straight line viii, to-
gether with wave regulation. eventually
result In the long-sought secret massage
which cannot be detected outside the
line Of the beam under any circum-
stance and then only with the most pre-
else instruments tuned exactly to the
wave length employed.
