SLOW LIGHTNING
SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Feb.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Feb.
1O. -R)- Discovery that there
are two distinct types of light
ming, one the explosive, smash
ing stroke familiar to everyone,
and the other a hitherto unrec-
ognized slow and burning stroke,
was announced today in the
electrical world.
One kind blows a tree apart,
the other sets it afire. The slow
lightning was discovered by Dr.
X. b. McEachrOn, who has spent
many years studying lightning,
and manufacturing it artificialIy
for the General Electric COM
pany.
The slow strokes have a low
amperage electrical current.
This current flows through the
air, steadily, for a comparative
ly long time, perhaps a second
to a second and a half. The cur.-
rent may range from around q
dozen alnperes to a few hum
dred. l..
The explosive stroke masses q
huge flow, sometimes 5000 am
peres, in a single peak and
shoots it quickly. This peak
passes like a wave along the
path of the lightning stroke. A
single flash may have several
of these waves, one after the
other.

HEIGHT ARRESTED
ON OLD CHARGE
Broker Taken Into Custody
After Suing Former
F. r. Partner 9

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 up A
grand larceny indictment that had
been dormant for five years was
used to effect the arrest of broker.
promoter Rudolf Hecht today-two
days after it became known he had
filed a 81, 900, 900 suit in connection
with a multi.million dollar govern.
ment loan to China.
The district attorneys office re-
ported the indictment was one of
six returned in 1885 which accused
the then president of the brokerage
firm of Hecht-Hance and company
of the theft of approximately 5000
from customers who allegedly had
purchased German marks and Sc.
curities.
Hecht, it was stated, had been
arrested in 1885 in connection with
five of the indictments and had
been free since then on $40, 900 bail.
The authorities did not indicate why
he had not been tried previously
on these counts or arrested on the
sixth, but they announced he was
acc Quilted on still another similar in
dictment in 1887 and had had num-
erous other successful tussies with
the law.
His attorney posted $500 bail for
his release today after Hecht had
been served also with a court order
issued in February, 1898, restrain
ing him from dealing in securities
in New York state.
In his suit in the appellate divi.
sion of state supreme court, Hecht.
who said his profession was that of
Arranging international loans-a
profession followed by his family
for Hundreds of years"-alleged
that Basil O'Connor, former law
partner of President Roosevelt,
personally pressed" upon the Pres
ident and Secretary Hull the sue
cessful conclusion" of a $50, O0O, 900
loan to the Chinese republic in 1888.
He named the general manager of
the Central Bank of China and
others as defendants and asserted
he was promised 81 1000, 600 as a fee
to effect the loan.
(O'Connor declared he had had no
association with Hecht and did not
know "who he is" while a state de-
partment spokesman asserted O'Con-
nor had never spoken to Secretary
Hull about a Chinese loan or any,
thing else. This official pointed out
that the loan, made by the Export
Import bank, was for $25 ,000, 000.l

Families of Navy Men
Are Being Evacuated

MANILA. Oct. 81 P).-Admiral
Thomas c. Hart, commander in
chief of the United States Asiatic
Fleet, said today wives and other
dependents of Navy men were being
evacuated from Asia and the Philip
pines
Admiral Hart. who arrived today
aboard the flagship U. S. S. Angus
ia. added, however, that Navy evac-
uation was not compulsory, but that
all dependents had been urged to
follow the advice" that they leave
the Orient at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
While the State Department. s
recommendation that Navy de-
pendents leave did not apply to the
Philippines, Admiral Hart said the
Navy could not discriminate among
its personnel on station anywhere in
the Orient. He said there had been
no special developments to cause
evacuation from the Philippines.
Normally homeward transporta-
ton at Government expense is
available to Navy dependents only
on departure of the head of the fam
lily, but Admiral Hart explained that
the State Departments decision to
evacuate American civilians wives
and children made it advisable to
extend the same facilities to Navy
dependents.

Americans in Orient
Protest Rates on
Evacuation Ships
Shanghai Papers Soy
Many Will Be Forced to
Cancel Reservations
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 21.-American
citizens registered for removal from
the Orient have already held at
least one indignation meeting" to
protest passage rates on three
steamships dispatched to the Far
East by United States Department
order.
Shanghai newspapers predicted
that at least half Of the $500 Ameri-
cans registered for return home
would be forced to cancel their res
ervations following the announce
ment of rates. Several other pro-
test meetings were scheduled.
Many lack funds to send their
families home, 1t was said.
Minimum Fares Prohibitive.
Minimum fares for the first two
evacuation ships. the Monterey and
Mariposa, are 1895 in United States
dollars or approximately $500 Chi
nese dollars, which is prohibitive to
Americans paid salaries in Chinese
money and also to missionaries and
others receiving low United States
dollar salaries.
The minimum fare for the S. 8.
Washington is listed at $3.50 in
United States dollars.
On each ship cots in public rooms
may be obtained for $50 under the
minimum cabin rates.
These fares compared with q
normal 5000 tourist rate on Amer
jcan ships and $135 for third-clasS
passage on Canadian Pacific steam
ships.
Preparations in Peiping.
In Peiping approximately 80 per
cent of the American residents were
reported preparing to leave the city,
probably aboard the S. S. Mariposa,
which is expected to visit Chin
wangtWo about November Is to
pick up North China evacuees.
About 100 are expected to board
the Mariposa from Manchukuo,
mostly missionaries. The number
preparing to leave Tientsin was still
unknown since the district includes
many missionaries in the interior
who have not been heard from.
Dispatches from Hankow said
today an undisclosed number of
American evacuees, whose departure
had been held up by fighting be-
tween Japanese and Chinese forces
along the YangtZe River. have left
aboard japanese transport.
Earlier Ship Communicated.
The transport was provided after
an earlier ship for the American
women and children, members of
the families of Standard Oil Co.
employees, had been Communicated
as troop transport.
Domei, Japanese news agency, re-
ported in a dispatch from Annoy.
China, that a move to place the
Kulangsu International Settlement
under control of the Marking, jap
anese dominated government, is
gaining favor among Chinese in the
settlement.
The Domei dispatch said agita-
ton against foreigners in the settle
ment was an outgrowth of the pres
ent withdrawal of Americans from
the Far East. Foreign officials de-
scribed the movement as obviously
Japanese-inspired.
