Pres. Roosevelt Named
In Third Term Draft

The name of President Roosevelt was
placed in nomination for third term
Wednesday night by Senator Lester Hill
of Alabama before a wildly cheering
Democratic National Convention in Chi
cago. The demonstration started an
ovation that lasted over one-half hour
as the delegates shouted for third term
for this great leader and humanitarian.
A roll call of states showed Roosevelt
getting almost unanimous vote with
James A. Farley, Senator Tydings Of
Maryland and Vice-president Garner
getting scattering vote. The vice.
presidential selection has not been made
altho it is rumored that Jesse Jones,
RFC chairman, may be drafted. The
President is expected to address the
convention this afternoon in an accep-
tance Of the draft. He had requested
Senator Barkley. chairman, to tell the
Convention that he was "not a candi-
date" but the overwhelming vote changes
the situation.

New 'Detonator Ray
Explodes Gunpowder;
Army Officers Watch
Box-like Invention
Offered to u. S. as
Aid to Defense
By the Associated Press.

~
OAKLAND, Calf, March l5.-
Little heaps Of gunpowder exploded
mysteriously in the open air as
Army officers watched a demonstra-
ton Of "detonator ray" described
by its inventor. as potentially able
to blow up enemy ammunition and
gasoline stores at a distance.
The demonstration was staged
yesterday by Otto H. Mohr, elderly
inventor, after spending several
months IN constructing the ma
chine. Mr.. Mohr said he had offered
the device to the Government as a
possible instrument of defense.
Mr.. Mohr declined to tell exactly
how the machine operated but said
1t depended on both sunlight and
electric power and produced vibra-
tions which caused the powder to
explode.
The powder was poured into lids
and bottoms of ordinary tin coffee
cans, about a teaspoonful on each.
The cans were set on the ground
about 20 feet from the instrument.
Ray-End Contains Bulb.
The machine is a box-like thing
about as big as q good sized table
model radio set. In one end is a
short tube-like affair pointing to
the material to be exploded. On top
Of the box is coil of wire suggest
ing an electro-magnet and a small
antenna-like structure of wires
roughly in the shape of a cone.
Along the axis of the cone runs a
slender pipe into the box.
An electric cord leading out of the
box was plugged into an ordinary
light socket apd the pipe in the cone
antenna was pointed toward the
sun. A gentle buzz like that from
an electric transformer came from
the box. Through the tube at the
ray end of the machine could be
seen a bright light which Mohr said
was from small neon blub.
The tube at the ray end was
pointed toward the cans with the
powder heaps on them. For sew
eral minutes nothing happened. Mr.,

to Washington to study law. He
never studied architecture. How
ever, in 1908 he became associated
with the supervising architects Of
flee, and in 1915 was called on by
then Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo to fill the. post of supervising
architect. He twice refused the
post, explaining he wanted to save
the Government embarrassment
since he was not trained architect,
but was prevailed upon to take the
position when allowed to be known
as acting supervisor"
Mr.. Wetmore held the office until
February, 1884, when the Procure
ment Division was organized and he
was made chairman of the Awards
Board. He retired November 80
OF that year upon reaching the age
of II.
Active IN Masonic work, Mr.. Wet
more was a member of B. B. French
Lodge here, and at one time was
District of Columbia representative
OF the Masonic Grand Lodge Of
England.
His first wife, the former Hattie
Bly,, died in 1922. His widow, Mrs.
Anna Polk Wetmore; son, William
Wetmore of washington, and a
daughter, Mrs. Marcellus .Corrick
of Baltimore, survive
He will be buried in Washington.

Mohr extended small stick toward
one Of the cans as II to adjust its
position. As the stick touched the
can there was hiss and a pun.
The powder had exploded.
Other Heaps Explode.
After the machine had been run
ming about 20 minutes two other
powder heaps exploded when no one
was near them. A fourth exploded
as Mr.. Mohr stirred the powder
slightly with the stick.
During the operation the sun was
moderately warm and the sky clear.
The tin cans felt only slightly warm
after standing the 20 minutes in the
sun. Under ordinary conditions most
types OF gunpowder are said to re-
quire nearly 300 degrees of heat,
Fahrenheit, for ignition.
The Army officers refused to COM
ment on the test. Mr.. Mohr said
they suggested additional tests with
the explosives shut of from all di-
rect exposure to the sun.
Mohr, an inventor of several in
struments designed to utilize the
suns heat, says he has used larger
machine of the same kind to explode
