Season Opening Planned
By Shakespeare Society
Nineteenth Year Will Be Inaugurated With
Presentation of Scenes From "The
Tempest" Tomorrow Night.

Scenes from the play will be enacted
by members of the society.
Because of the unprecedented in.
terest in the work of the Shakespeare
Society, which previously opened its
meetings to non-members, departure
from this procedure is made this
year. Hereafter, because additional
funds are needed to replenish the
Society'S stock of costumes, a small
charge for admission to the full plays
will be levied-half as much for men,
bers as for non-members.
One speaker who has not previously
appeared on any Shakespeare Society
program will be featured, DR.. William
G. Morgan of Georgetown University,
eminent teacher and practitioner. who
will carry on discussion of Shake
Speare's medical illusions.
With eight meetings scheduled for
each month, the society goes into the
Winter with new enthusiasm. Some
OF the outstanding speakers are: Sir
Wlllmott H. Lewis, Washington cor
respondent of the London Times; Prof.
De Witt c. Crossant of George Wash
ington University and Prof. W. L.
Corbin of the Smithsonian Institution.
Officers of the Shakespeare Society
are: DR.. E. V. Wilcox, president; Hon.
Leander Mccormick -Goodhart, vice
president; Miss Emma Eva Skrivanek,
secretary; Miss Beverly Emmert, cor
respondent secretary. and Alexander
LELAND, treasurer.
Members of the board are: Mrs.
Edward r. Foster. Miss Ethel Buck
ingham, Miss Amy Putnam, Mrs. w.
E. Bryant and Kent Dyer. With Mr..
Dyer. the Dramatic Committee is com.
posed of Jesse Veitch, John Victory,
Miss Esther Marshman and Mrs.
Mabel Owens Wilcox. Dell Floyd Of
the Department OF Justice has charge
of publicity.
Only one meeting place and pro-
gram have yet to be divulged-the
birthday anniversary banquet and its
principals, on April %, l936-always
a gala night in Shakespearean circles.

try and many European and Oriental
nations.
Morse's first sending apparatus was
a cumbersome instrument three feet
long. Each letter of the alphabet
was represented by piece of serrated
leaden type and every message had
to be set up by hand before it was
transmitted. The receiving set was
constructed on a canvas frame a
yard high. A pencil, raised and low
cred by impulses from an electro
magnet recorded the dots and dashes
on strip of paper-hence the name,
electromagnetic telegraph. The orig
inal instruments are exhibited at the
Smithsonian Institution.
Before he obtained his patent in
1910. Prof. Morse substituted a simple
key for the complicated sending mech
anism. He also greatly reduced the
size of the receiving set and replaced
the pencil with metallic stylus,
which sharp, tapping sound when
in action. The operators soon learned
to read messages from the click of
the stylus and hnally the writing
method was discontinued.
In 1853 the duplex method of send
ing dispatches both ways concur
rently over single wire was discov-
cred and put into commercial use in
1868. Transmission was improved and
instruments perfected until now eight
distinct messages can travel Simul-
taneously over one wire. Many tele-
graph offices employ automatic ma
chimes with typewriter keyboards.
which deliver communications printed
on paper strips.
The compact present-day Morse in
struments, which convey messages in
staccsto clicks, and the super efficient
automatic machines, which are as
easy as a typewriter to operate. bear
little resemblance TO the clumsy
pioneer machines.

Which Proved His Claims Were Not Exaggerated.

cheney as the years passed. ConRratu.
lations were showered upon the in.
ventor by both friends and strangers.
Glowing descriptions of the telegraph
appeared in newspapers and maga-
zines. 1t became the one general
theme Of conversation.
TWO days later, when the Demo-
cratic Convention was also being
held In Baltimore, further oppor-
tunity was afforded to demonstrate
the remarkable powers of the instru-
ment. The operator In Baltimore sent
frequent bulletins regarding the prog
ress of the balloting, and a few min.
utes after the nomination he wired
the news to Washington that James
K. Polk was the conventions choice
for President.
The election of Silas Wright for Vice
President was also telegraphed to the
Capital. But shortly after they cast
their final votes, the delegates were
confronted with telegraph message
OF rejection from Wright, who was in
Washington. Their incredulity knew
no bounds. Refusing to believe their
nominee had been contacted in so
short a time, the convention adjourned
for the day. A personal delegation
was sent to Washington, only to find,
to the chagrin of the doubters, that
the wires had spoken truly.
The telegraph's apprenticeship ended
April /, 1845-10 years after its in
vention, when it changed its status
from a non-paying novelty to a busi-
ness asset. The telegraph Office in
Washington was located in a second
floor room of the City Post Office
Building, on e between Seventh and
Eighth streets, where the old Land
Office Building now stands.
The original fee Tor sending a mes
sage to Baltimore was / cent for four
words. For the first four days the
receipts totaled a penny a day, on the
fifth day they mounted to 1912 cents,
the sixth day was Sunday and the
office was closed, the seventh day they
jumped to go cents. the next day they
exceeded the dollar mark. But not
even the inventor himself vaguely
imagined that 80 years later this tele-
graph invention would have grown to
an industry doing a 100000 ,0O0-a-
year business in the United States
alone.
After the worth Of his invention had
been established, Prof. Morse offered it
to the Government for 100000. But
skepticism of its lasting value still
prevailed in legislative circles and the
proposal was rejected. So the versa
tile inventor formed a company Of his
own and personally superintended the
commercial development of his brain
child.
In 1846 telegraph lines were COM
pleted from Washington to New York
City. Gradually other cities joined
the ever-lengthening chain. On July
4, 1861, the first ground was broken
in Omaha, Nebr.. for telegraph line
20 the Far West. The route lay through
hostile Indian country and across the
great central plains. where energetic
buffalos bowled over many telegraph
poles by using them for rubbing posts.
Another line. directed eastward, was
started simultaneously in California.

the 18-month career of the Pony Ex-
press, which is this year celebrating its
severty-fifth anniversary.
THE telegraph as a means of over
seas communication was early
foreseen by Morse, who on October ID,
1912. laid successful submarine cable
from Governors Island to the Battery,
in New York City. A few weeks later,
while awaiting the pleasure of Con-
gress, he repeated the experiment
across the canal in Washington. D. c.
However, the honor of laying the first
.ransoceanic cable went to Cyrus Field,

ventor returned to Washington
with a new instrument, vastly i'm
proved and defined by patent. Once
more he prepared his exhibit in the
Capitol. But the weary days lengthen-
ed into discouraging weeks, his limited
funds diminished, even hb clothing be-
came threadbare. Finally his hope re-
vived when the House Committee on
Commerce favorably reported bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for telegraph ex-
Fermentation.
Thursday. February 23, just eight
days before the close of Congress, was
set for the discussion of the bill in
the House Of Representatives. That
morning the inventor sat in the House
gallery and listened to the legislators
discuss the measure with unrestrained
imaginations. They fippantly COM
pared Morse's telegraph with animal
magnetism, q railroad to the moon and
mesmerism. But when the vote was
finally taken, the House passed the

who worked IL years to stretch line
across the Atlantic. In 1866. after
four unsuccessful attempts, the in
donlitable Field finally established
permanent cable contact between the
Old World and the New.
While Prof. Morse was making
steady progress in the extension of the
telegraph, he had to fight the demands
Of usurpers, who claimed practically
every principle involved in his inven-
ton. However after much wearying
litigation. his rights were finally and
fully established.
The European nations quickly recog-
nized the superiority of Morse's sys-

tenn over those of their countrymen
and adopted it. Honors were heaped
upon the American inventor both at
home and abroad. Until his death on
April 2, 1872, he spent his closing
years basking in the justly-won fame
Of his gift to humanity. During his
80th year. the telegraph employees of
the United States donated the money
to erect a bronez statue to him in
Central Park. New York City. His
portrait occupies prominent place in
the rotunda canopy of the Nations
Capitol. and in the Smithsonian In
