MARCONI DOES
 SOMETHING NEW

Sestri Levante, Italy. July S0.- (UP).-Senator Guglielmo Mar conf succeeded in navigating his yacht Elletra by ultra-shortwave radio from land today without as- sistance of officers or crew.
 The experiments were regarded as likely to make vast changes in naval warfare in the future. Fossil bilities of developing such system for navy craft were considered great.
 The Elletra proceeded between two buoys directed by Marconi's engineers from a station on the cliffs, overlooking the Bay of Naples. The craft was guided with precision and ease over a set course.
 Marconi used waves of 60 centi- meters. Those present included representative of the White Star. Cunard and Italian lines; Lloyd's and representatives of the Italian navy and merchant marine.

Quietly enjoying the remoteness of the Huron Moun- tain club, 45 miles north of here, he was expected to follow his GUS tomary birthday procedure with lit tie in the way of ceremony and probably nothing to set the day apart from other days save a fam fly birthday party"

1,452 Depositors Banked $1,O8O, ,786
 In City This Year
1,5O9 Clients Saved $l,167,52S in l933-Decline Does Not Necessarily Mean Slump in Local Busi-
 ness-People's Regained Faith in Banks Seen
(SpeciaI to the Democratl

Washington, D. C., July 3O- Though the postal savings deposits for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1884. in the Waterbury postoftice showed decrease over 1883. pos tai officials declared that this does not mean a decrease in Waterbury business.
 People More Optimistic
 They point to the bank holiday of 1883, when the majority of peo- pie in the country were using post offices as banks, and say that l935 would necessarily show a high av- craze for postal savings deposits. The fact that postal savings in Wa terbury were less for 1894 indicates they claim, that people have re- gained faith in Waterbury banks, that the banks are functioning on a basis more nearly equal that of earlier years, adding that the con- dition of a city's banks are an in- dex to its general business.
 The 1894 postal savings deposits in Waterbury were $1.0S0,7S6, the number of depositors 1,452. and the average principal per. depositor, s744.34. The 1893 postal savings deposits were $1,167.52S, the num- Der of depositors 1,509, and the average principal per depositor $773.70. The same relative figures for 1882 were $SS4,463, 1,190 and $743.24
 Exact Profit Unknown
 Postal officials announced a pro- fit in the postal savings system for 1884, though as yet they haven't the exact profit. The profit for 1893 was $2.11S.123.96, and for 1882 $1.023.901.77.
 The postoffice department. they claim. is not seeking postal savings deposits. The money, they say. goes into a bank shortly after it is de- posted in a postoffice, and under the new banking laws most any bank is safe place to place money.

conversation with Kirk JudSon.
At last the interview was
over. Judson pocketed his

and started for the hall. Jud-

son?" I began.
MacNalley spat venomousIy be
fore replying.
"He's a dirty crook" he said
at last. But not that I'd call
him one in print" he added
hastily.
COR to his face" I ventured.
"Sure I'd call him one to his
face-have many a time"
whats he done that's
crooked?"
MacNalley contented himself
with a venomous look in Jud-
sons direction and seemed to
consider no answer necessary.
This feud between the police
department and Kirk Judson
had always been a mystery to
me. To me personally, he had
appeared a fellow somewhat
vulgar and as unScrupulouS as
they are made but smart as a
steel whip. In fact, so great
had his reputation for Shadi-
ness become that to engage his
services was almost the equiva-
lent of a sealed, signed and de-
nvered confession of guilt. For
my own part, I should have
been afraid to employ such a
man-afraid that if he helped
me out of some scrape that I
would spend the rest of my life
paying him blackmail.
The quarrel between him and
the police department had be
come practically an inheritance.
Inspector followed inspector,
commissioner followed commits
sioner, but the hatred Of Kirk
Judson, like some ancient Cor
sican vendetta, was handed
down from official to official.
That JudSon, as a matter Of
fact, was as straight as a die
legally, I meant had no doubt.
The police had turned his life,

and upside down in an effort to
get something on the man. De-
tectives from time to time had
spent many weary months on
his trail, only to admit that
JudSon's activities we're entirely
legitimate.
There had been many hints
that JudSon was "tiXer"-the
term applied to a man who ar
ranges a good many convenient
little alibis or who buys off wit
nesSes who have identified
criminals as participants in some
crime. Certainly Judson had an
amazing facility in discovering
who made these same 1dentltt
cations which are commonly q
dead secret in the bosom OF the
grand jury, but which only too
often "leak out"
But all this was rumor and
nothing more. I Shrewdly Sus-
.pected that nothing but COM

garden-variety lay at the back
of the whole thing. JudSon, con-

would have been an invaluable
aid. His knowledge Of the un-
derworld was truly amazing. He
seemed on excellent terms with
gangsters and criminals OF
every description. He understood
their lingo and their methods
and he knew where to turn for
information of any nature. AS
a criminal lawyer, he would
have been superb-and under
Standable.
But Judson was not a law
yer. He was a detective and
a high-priced one at that.
And even although it may
have been true that he pros

will-o'-the-wisp chase for a
mythical red sedan driven by
two negroes, Judson went
quietly to work and set his
skillful organization to investi-
eating the lady's affairs, par
ticularly those of an amorous
nature. The result was a life
time conviction of Mrs. Tany-
hill and her lover.
Then, too, there was the lit
tie matter of the GoldStein
holdup robbery involving $140,-
900 worth of diamonds. The
police had worked on this case
for months and had gotten
nowhere. Judson, called in by
the ruined jewelry salesman,

promptly dived somewhere into
the dark currents Of the un-
derworld-and emerged with
Barney Keller in one hand and
the diamonds IN the OCner.
That was because Judson had
