JACK DEMPSEY was received with wild acclaim in Berlin, according to news dispatches. So was Grover BergdolL MR. BEVERIDGE’S publicity experts are taking in a lot of territory. They should not forget that his immediate necessity is to be elected United States Senator from Indiana.

The Primary's Good Lesson Proponents of the direct primary system and advocates of curtailed campaign expenditures can derive much satisfaction from the results of Tuesday’s primary. It demonstrated the futility of huge, overpaid organizations and the use of excessive funds collected from all 6orts of sources. The only man who maintain.d an organization on a large scale and who was accused by his opponent of verging close to Newberryism in the nse of money was Senator Harr., S. New, who went down to a crushing defeat The vast army of workers, many of them on salaries, who labored Ir.defatigably in his behalf, failed to make a sufficient impression upon the voters. In fact hi3 demonstration of a thoroughly organized election machine repelled many who might otherwise have been for him. The victorious Republican'nominee even abandoned his State headquarters. without which no Republican candidate has deemed himself well equipped to face the voters in recent years, and issued weekly statements of his campaign expenses which amounted to a nominal sum. Mr. Beveridge might be said to have had a "shoe string’’ organization, but it was effective nevertheless. None of the Democratic senatorial candidates maintained State headquarters and none of them, unlike the two Republican aspirants, even had campaign managers. They found that a few addresses in carefully selected strategic spots in the State got them before the people, and that the electorate was well qualified to judge them by their respective merits was demonstrated by the result of the election. Enemies of th? direct primary system have had a stock argument against it because, ‘hey said, it made the use of huge funds unavoidable. Tuesday has certainly effectively dispelled this illusion and it should be a wholesome example for the campaigns to come. Senator Watson’s Knif e Senator James E. Watson’s grief over the defeat of his colleague, Senator Harry S. New, doubtless will soon be overcome by the joy he already has reason to anticipate when a nice new Republican State organization is laid at his feet For James Eli Watson is about to realize a long maintained ambition to control his party machinery in his own State and unless all plans go awry he will be the king pin in G. O. P. organization circles when the new committee is formed. The Senator, however, is going to pay dearly for his cherished hope. Already he is being execrated by the New followers and they are directing more venemous remarks at him than at the victorious Albert J. Beveridge. Mr. Watson is accused of committing the unpardonable offense of knifing his own s< natorial partner.

To support thei • contentions, Mr. Watson’s detractors point out that Rush County, tue Senator’s home, went to Beveridge when It could have been avoided by the urn of a finger. Further, Hamilton County, the home of John Owen, Watson's manager, went to Beveridge, and worse still, M. Burt Thurman, Watson's selection as collector of internal revenue, allowed the whole Third District to land In the Beveridge column. And then there remains the fact that the Senator never so much as uttered a word In behalf of Senator New’s renomination. Hence his tearful utterance, "No one is more sorry than I over the result," is greeted with derisive smiles in New quarters, for even politicians sometimes are slow to forgive. If Senator Watson is absolutely sincere In his expressions of sorrow over Mr. Beveridge's nomination It presents a strange angle, because his organization will be expected to steer the nominee through the fall campaign. \\ atson probably made that statement in a thoughtless moment and will find little difficulty in correcting it later, as he usually does, especially after sufficient overtures have been made to him for support Putting it plainly, therefore. Senator Watson and his aids helped accomplish the political death of his fellow Senator in order to win the organization and if his dream is realized he will be in a position where Mr. Beveridge will have to dicker with him. Watson has made himself the dominating influence in Republican politics In Indiana and he apparently is bent on utilizing his power, heedless of the fact that just such a machine dragged Mr. New down. May His Kind Increase A rare and almost extinct species of mankind has been found in \\ ashington. Who is responsible for the culpable negligence must have attended his entrance to administrative circles is unknown, but, like the Mohammedans, we hope his kind increases. He is a man in charge of $1,000,000 of Government funds—the people’s money—and he is not going to spend all of it. This most unusual specimen of the official genus homo is Frank Harrison, a newspaper man from Nebraska, who has been placed In charge of the American exhibit at the Brazilian centennial exposition, which opens in Rio de Janeiro next September. When it became known he had a whole million at his disposal, he was assured by dignitaries, job hunters and otherwise, that he must equip himself with a staff of several hundred persons to do his work properly, but to date he has only enlisted the aid of six men and a stenographer, and even does part of the work himself. The State Department sent the Nebraska editor a demand for SIO,OOO in connection with the exposition preparations a few days ago. He countered with a demand for an itemization of the sums to be spent When it was received, he sent this word to one of Secretary Hughes' assistants: “That work can be done for $2,500 without any trouble at alt Come over here and TD show you how to do it* The State Department dignitary did not coma, but accepted the $2,500 without further parleying. Several thousand peremptory demands have been made upon Mr. Harrison from Senators. Representatives, politiciana of high and low degree for "Jobs” within his Jurisdiction. He always asks: “Does your candidate speak Spanish?" Invariably they answer: “Tea. They will fit in the work in Rio splendidly." He replies that: '“Well, the Brazilians speak not Spanish, but modified Portuguese. Eut there are not going to be any jobs otw here for anybody, anyway."

*IF WINTER COMES ’ TO BE FILMED In This Country and in Europe by Fox

When William Fox completes the special production, "If Winter Comes,” it will be flashed on the screen, backed, It Is said, by the most extensive and popular advertising campaign that ever preceded any single lilm production. Not only has the book itself received more favorable comment and created more discussion, probably, than any novel ever written, but it holds a world's record as the best seller <i tho hlztcry of fiction publications. Arrangements have not been ted by the producer id the filming of tee great work, but plans are so far advanced as to warrant the prediction that when the cameras begin to turn the director will have in hand arrangements for an unusually careful, elaborate and spectacular picture. Realizing the great popularity which the novol has enjoyed and Is enjoyiug, Mr. Fox is In no hurry to rush Its screening, but Is taking his time, and no effort or expense, it is announced, will be spared to make of It an Ideal photodrama. To this end, while some of the scenes will be made in the Fox studios in New York and Los Angeles, many of the bigfer outdoor episodes will be photographed In England in the very localities which the author describes in his novel. This will be done with the idea of obtanling graphic and faithful portrayal of the scenes which have been made familiar in print to hundreds of thousands of readers, and to preserve the true and quaint flavor of the places and personages created In the book. Mr. Fox, in order to accomplish this, ■wl'l leave for England soon and. with A. S. M. Hutchinson, the author, he will go over the scenario and confer on ail details of the forthcoming production. In addition to the million circulation which the book is in a fair way to attain before it reaches the screen, the story is now being run serially in leading newspapers in the larger cities of the United States. Fox also has other

NEW YORK, May C.—During the war, at Chaumont, the American G. H. Q. in France, I heard that an American had Invented a submarine detector used with success by the French and the British. Later at Rollincourt, the press headquarters In France of the correspondents attached to the British army, I was told that an American had Invented the condensers and wireless sets used on the British airplanes used for artillery observation. The English officer referred to the Inventor only as “the little Edison.” While the Paris peace conference was in progress, an officer of the British intelligence office asked: “do you know an American chap named William I)u----blller?,” and when I gave a negative reply remarked, “what a pity! Make a note of the name it sounds French, but he is one of your people.” Today in the Recess Club, a downtown luncheon affair on the seventeenth floor of the Columbia Trust Company building, I was introduced to a young man, small of frame with a large head, who carried in his person that modest and careless indifference which is the hallmark of greatness. As w© shook handß there was a spark of electricity caused by the velvet carpet, and when he shyly remarked that we both were good condensers, I knew he was the wizard I had long wished to meet—Duhilier, born on the lower East Ride, genius of radio and famous in Paris, London, Berlin, Petrograd, in fact known all over the world. Opportunity came in the course of a general conversation to put questions that developed answers of great interest, for not only did Dubllier Invent the submarine detector, and the lightweight condensers and wireless .sets for airplanes, but in 1910 t long before the war. he installed the secret wireless apparatus in the czar's palace at Petrograd which he fears was the one used during the war by the czarina to secretly communicate with the Germans,, possibly sending thereby the knowledge of the date set for the satllng of Lord Kitchener upon bis 111-futed Journey to Russia. It proved to be the unfolding of a series of facts which out-flctlon the best of fiction. Duhilier was born in July. 1888, of humble parents on Cannon street. near Grand street, New York, sold newspapers after attending the public school and securing a day Job with a telephone company. continued his education at night at the Cooper Institute. “I really am 44 years old,” he said, “as I got two for one out of every year for ten years, working eight hours and studying eight hours ! A lecturer on radio sent by the New York Board of Education, let Duhilier carry his grip home from Cooper Institute. This man worked for the Marconi company. He took a fancy to the lad, who wanted to know everything about wireless communication. Thus it came Dubllier was offered the chance to go to Seattle, Wash., to help set up a demonstration plant at the Alaska Yukon Exposition. While there he saw the possibility of a wtre'.ees exchange Jiv.th Alaska, for the existing cable line was asking $1 a word, and he participated In the forming of a small wireless telegraph and telephone company, actually Installing one station near eattle that cost $4,000. “Then came the circumstance that changed my whole life," said Dubltller. “A man approached me with a proposal that I go to Russia, and he finally gave me $15,000, more money than 1 had ever seen, and I accepted. This was 1909 On the steamship Victoria Louisa, bo-

tween -New York and Hamburg, I met Emburh McLean, an Englishman, and persuaded him to accompany me to Russia. Iu Petrograd—then called St. Petersburg—l lived In the Imperial palace, often conversed with the czar, and recall seeing the monk Rasputin a number of times. I Installed the wireless, one In the palace and the other In the forts at Tiberg, the Finland approach to Petrograd.” Mr. Dublilier told of these bring many Russian wireless companies, and his suspicions that the reason the czar sent to America for someone to put in his private wireless set was that the ruler did ! not want it known that he had his own wireless set. The American tried to get up a company of his own In Russia, but he failed, and .he drifted back to the United States. “It was nothing but gruft In Russia,” he said, “and the grafters wanted their share before I was paid for the work they wanted me to do.” In 1912 Dublilier went to London and assisted the Northcliffe press in one of Its crusades to Improve local telephone conditions there, securing his first distinctive publicity out of which later came his valuable acquaintanceship with Sir Henry Norman and an invitation to appear before the parliamentary committee on wireless. It was there and then he came to know and appreciate the stolid British character, which shaped his personal attitude on the great conflict In after years. “I told Sir Henry, Commander Stivertop of the admiralty and Captain Lefroy of the army what I knew of condensers was at their disposal and I threw one of my mica condensers on the floor and it did not break,” he said. "They asked my price. I said I would make them up ten light condensers for wireless use in observation airplanes at four pounds each. Next day I received an advance order for ten condensers at 80 pounds each. I went at once and told the committee some mistake had been made; the members said not; that I would probably need the money In opening a place of business, and also I was not to split with anybody, as business with the British Government was never done that I thought that mighty fine, and I have never forgotten the bigness of these men in helping a poor inventor —I was poor, for the money given me by the Russians was long before spent." Dubllier took a lease of a small shop at 17 Morwell street, off Tottenham Court Road. London, at S2O a month. Ho now has a large factory in the Shepherd's Bush section. But the thrilling part of the Dubller tale was his response to the call of gratitude. In May, 1915, he was lunching with Lewis Evans, an Englishman, at a restaurant In Fulton street, New York, and they came out to hear the newsboys screaming the sinking of the Lusitania Only three months before he had turned a deaf ear to a direct propose! from Captain Boy-ed of the German navy, to go to Germany and manufacture small wireless sets to be installed in the German trenches, flatly refusing to' consider the proposal on any terms. “I think It is tip to me now to go to England,” said Bubilter to his friend Evans. “Come along" assented Evans and three days after the sinking of the Lusl tania they sailed together for Old Blighty on the American liner St. Paul. Here is the inventor’s account of his checkmate to the submarine; [ “I went on from London to Paris

Together we went to Cherbourg. I carried along the sound amplifiers I had brought from America. What we finally heard, the French and British had previously concluded was the whirr of the propeller of a distant German submarine. I thought differently, as the propeller revolves 600 times a minute, and it has three blades making altogether 1,800 vibrations or splashes a minute or thirty vibrations a second, which Is below the limit of audibility. But to make sure I asked to be put aboard the French submarine in the harbor, and lowered, and the machinery started. Ever stand in front of a power station ? Recall the whistling, sound made by the dynamo? That was what came through the water from the German submarine, the sound of its dynamo. I put on my amplifiers again, and by the varying strength of the whistling sound was able to block out distance.” “What was the result of this discovery?” we asked. “I wag told that In the succeeding months forty-five German submarines had been vanquished,” he said. “Then ail sound contact with the German submarines was lost, and for a time It was believed that the Germans had discontinued submarine warfare. They hadn't. Through a spy In France the Germans ascertained it was their dynamos which gave off the tell-tale Information, and subsequently it was discovered that the Germans had the slots In the submarine dynamos changed to a different angle which eliminated the whistle.” Mr. Dubllier has about four hundred patents on various wireless apparatus, twenty-eight in America alone, on condensers which he described as “a device to store np electrical energy without chemical action.” He says that when he is able to make a condenser as large as a one-family house, electricity generated at Niagara Falls can be sold in New York City at 2 cents a kwh It costs him $150,000 to sustain his condenser patents In a litigation that closed in his favor in September. 1920.

In the radio they thought they had things sewed up by their glass condensers. But we have carried mica to a stage far beyond which they went with glass, and if anything we now have a radio keyhold upon Germany." He made one prediction—within four years' time there will be a master production of grand opera In New York which will be broadcasted into subsidiary opera houses in all the large cities of the country. Dubilier himself was the first to troadcast radio, the scene of his efforts being a little amusement park In Seattle, Wash., thirteen years ago, shortly before he left for Russia, and entered the i world picture.
