Salient Events of New Year

NEW YORK, January. 2.-Pictures
and stories of half hundred salient
news events of New Year day rode the
leased wires side by side and with
equal speed yesterday between Is cities
of the United States, as 46 daily news
papers, in conjunction with the AsSo-
ciated Press, introduced wirephotos
to American journalism.
The electric eyes of wirephoto ma
chimes ranged the Nation from 8 a M,
Eastern standard time, when the serv-
ice for transmission of news pictures
by wire was inaugurated over a
10,000-mile tranScontinental network
They saw, in time for publication in
morning papers in New York, the
greeting of San Franciscos Chinatown
to 1885. They saw, in time for evening
newspaper publication in Atlanta
action pictures of the Alabama Stan
ford foot ball game yesterday after
noon at Pasadena, Calf.
Many Events illustrated.
They saw the fireswept ruin of the
South Carolina Aims House, where
five aged men were burned to death
and the reinauguration of Gov. Leh-
man at Albany, N. Y. They watched
the winning float pass by in Pasadena S
Tournament of Roses. They witnessed
foot ball games between East and
West at San Francisco, Tulane and
Temple at New Orleans and Bucknell
and Miami at Miami. They caught
Hiatus first across the finish line at
the Tropical Park, Florida, race
course.
They delivered these pictures coun-
try-wide so rapidly that newspapers
went to the streets with visual as well
as verbal records of events thousands
of miles away.
The electric eyes even reached out
side the United States for picture news
The finish of the opening race of the
season at Havana's Oriental Park al
2:30 was placed in newspaper Offices
throughout the Nation in the early
evening. From Mexico to the wire
photo circuit by way of Dallas came
a photograph of young Mexican Red
Shirts arrested as an aftermath OF
Sundays clash in which five Catholics
were slain.

the realization of dream cherished
by newspapers for many years and
called wirephotoS perhaps the most
important development in journalism
since the first news dispatch was sent
over telegraph wire in 1886"
In the New York wirephoto room
of the Associated Press, while Norris
A. Huse, executive editor of the AS
sociated Press news photo service,
explained the wirephoto process to
listeners on the Columbia Broadcast

and Immediately transmitted to all

the link which connects the ransom
money with the handwriting phase
of the prosecutions case.
When the Lindberghs insisted they
be given some proof that they were
treating with the actual abductor Of
their child, the kidnaper returned the
| freshly y-laundered suit In package
which bore the same handwriting as
the ransom notes.
The most dramatic episode in the
story is the payment 81 the ransom
in a Bronx cemetery. Col. Lindbergf
will say the ransom collector voice
was that Of Bruno Richard Haupt-
menn. DR.. Condor, the "Jafsie" OF
the ransom contacts. is expected by
the State to identify Hauptmann as
the man to whom he paid the money
and a taxi driver also will name the
deep-eyed German as the man who
paid him to take ransom notes to
Jafsie.
To the defense this web Is a f1imsy
creation of circumstance, to be de-
stroyed by Hauptmann's double alibi-
that he was at home the night OF
the kidnapping and that he
was given the ransom money found
in his possession by a business &C

case, the defense will match the State

and others will swear he met hel

hopes to explain it all by the story Of

1t was not until few months before
his arrest, so Hauptmann's story goes
that he discovered the box contained
money and started to spend it because
Fisch died owing him about $1,000
Against the possibility that the de-
fense would challenge the right to try
Hauptmann in Hunterdon County, in.

Plan Pharos of Columbus
Move to Create Monument to Great Sailor in World

the Most Appropriate Site.

land Of Hayti, on which he landed
during his very first voyage. where
he established the first American col
ony and where his remains were bur.
led in 1886. 30 years after his death.
During the partial occupany of that
island by Americans of late the prof.
ect has been advanced to a stage
where success seems certain.
If the plan is carried out as con-
templated, no other undertaking will
be representative of the New world
in as complete sense, for it is pro-
posed that every western national
government, large or small, shall con-
tribute to it's 100000 cost. A de-
sign for a noble structure has al
ready been made, embodying special
precautions against Caribbean peril,
the original Pharos having been de-
stroyed by an earthquake in the Thir-
teenth century.
To some it will seem important to
know whether the remains of Colum-
bus still rest in the ancient cathe
dral of Santo Domingo, in the
islands second republic, and some
recent works of reference print as
authoritative the version of the
Spanish government as to their re-
moval years ago. The bare state
ment that the wrong tomb was
opened and the bones Of one Of
Columbus sons taken away, and not
those of Columbus himself, does not
seem very convincing, but If the
data preserved by those called in
as observers during an examination
at the cathedral som years ago are
accurate, a mistake was made by
the Spanish. Insignia, lettering,
other small evidences indicated that
the tomb which had been opened
was undoubtedly that of the son and
| that another tomb now holds the
few fragments of Columbus bones

and the observers were men of Intel
ligence, including high ecclesiastical
officials and others.
But whether or not their opinion
was correct, this Is an appropriate
site for many other reasons. and
what could be more appropriate
form for a monument to the great
est navigator of all than a splendid
pinnacle carrying perpetual light
for the guidance of his successors
on the seas? This will be more than
a flame seen afar for directing those
who ply the ocean. 1t is also de-
signed for those plying the upper
air. Aviation Is now farther adj
vanced than was the lore Of the sea
in Columbus time. Probably air
routes along the short parallels of
latitude in the inclement North will
always be followed, but distance is
much less important than safety to-
aviation, making miles by the hun
dreds in an hour.
May we not believe that the favor
lite routes of the future will be along
the warmer, milder, safer parallels
to our southern ports; that the skies
to be "whitened" by flying craft will
be skies to the south and that the
Pharos of Columbus, looked for by
many an eye on dark nights and
stormy nights, will be wonder and
preserver vouchsafing in the Carib-
bean blessings to the imperiled

predecessor of the Mediterranean

Some brief descriptions have come
down to us about one of the Seven
Wonders Of the ancient world. the
Lighthouse of Alexandria.
1t was built on the island of Pharos
in the harbor and was connected
with the city by the Seven Furlong
bridge. Accounts placing the height
of it's tower at 600 feet are believed
to be overdrawn and 400 feet is re-
garded as more probable. Built by
Sostratus of Cnidus, it was begun un.
der Ptolemy of Egypt and was fin
ished under Ptolemy II, it's cost being
placed at 800 talents, which by some
valuations might be the equivalent
of as much as $1,6O0,000.
From the Pharos of Alexandria is
traced an addition to languages and
an influence on lighthouse and also
on other architecture. The word
Pharos came to be applied to light
houses generally and with some
change in spelling is of common
usage in certain modern tongues,
while pharology became technical
term for lighthouse building. The
first of the lighthouses in western
Europe, built by the Romans, was
called the Pharos of Dover, while the
minarets of Mohammedan mosques
symbolic lighthouses and in the
earlier ones we possibly may see
what their model, the original Alex
andria structure, looked like. Some
influence on the steeples of Chris
tian churches is discerned by writer's.
An example of special dignity and
worthiness is accordingly followed in
elaborate plans for creating, in the
western hemisphere, like wonder of
the modern world in a monument to
Christopher Columbus. Its site will
not be at any modern Alexandria
at any of the great ports Of the New
world he discovered, but on the is

only two classes in this nation or any nation ex-
cept Russia, namely, those who toll and work

We have also learned that by the aid of machin-

conquered for all time. Our parents lived in an
atmosphere of scarcity, because at times there
was an actual scarcity. We live not only in an
atmosphere Of scarcity but in real scarcity, not
because there is a scarcity of any thing but be-
cause a few other human beings, have got it all
