MARCONI THE

MENTOR

A BAD LIGHT

Confronted With Messages Showing He Had a Hand in Suppressing News of the Titanic Disaster.

(Continued from Page One.) 'tercepted by the Florida and transmlti ted by Its commander to the navy deI partment. The Four Messages. The first message read as follows: ."Saratoga, N. Y., (12 p. m.) to MarcoIni operator, Carpathla Say old man, taking good care of you. Keep your mouth shut and hold your story. It is s fixed for you so you will get money, j Please do your best to clear." ' The second message read: "Seagate, (9:30 p. m.) To Marconi men, Carpajthia and Titanic Arranged for your (exclusive story for dollars in four fig

ures. Mr. Marconi agreeing to say

nothing until you see me. Where are you now?" . Both of the foregoing dispatches were signed "J. M. Sammls," who is the director of the operation of the Marconi system.

The third dispatch was signed "S" Wnd read as follows, "Seagate, (9 p. tin.) To operator Carpathia Go to Grand hotel, 502 West 14th street to meet Mr. Marconi." Tn fourth message was signed

"Marconi" and was as follows: "April

flS, 9:33 p. m. (Personal) To operator

Carpathia Meet Mr. Marconi and Mr.

Sammls, Grand hotel. Keep your

mouth shut."

Marconi's Face Reddened. The--witness'. face reddened as these messages were read by Senator Smith jb.hA he sat with his chin in his right hand, his elbow resting on the chair

rarm. Every eye in the room was on

him as this disclosure was made that while the whole world was waiting for news of this "greatest disaster of its kind In the world's history," as Senator Smith referred to it, the only men

.that could give the story were negotia

ting for the sale of the information

tfor personal gain.

"Do you want to say anything about .those messages, Mr. Marconi?" asked Senator Smith. "I can only say that I know nothing About thtn,""was the reply of the inventor. "You gave permission to Cottam to itell his story?" "Yes, I thought he should be allowed to tell It. , It was done in a previous case when the Republic was wrecked. ! Operator Binns was permitted to tell his story at-that time and was paid for !lt." Mr. Marconi, although admitting that ihe gave Cottam permission to tell his story and adding that if Cottam was loffered payment he was at liberty to accept lit, so far as the English Marcol system was concerned, steadfastly i denied that he had given any instructions in regard to the withholding of (Information. He also denied that he had given any advice or instructions jln regard to an exclusive story to anyfbody. Mr. Marconi added that he did mot know what Cottam received for his fstory but . heard that Operator Bride got $500 from the New York Times.

Saved by the Soloist.

'An old lady who at the best was

certainly not very musical attended church one morning a little while ago. ' During the , service an anthem was sung by the choir, during which a certain Mr. Wood rendered a solo. When , returning home the old lady remarked to a friend: "Dear, deaT! What a mess they made .of that anthem, to be sure. Why, if it '. had not been for Mr. Wood they would J have broken down entirely in one part!" London Standard.

For a Washington Party. Decorate the house and table with red, white and blue and place prints of George and Martha Washington where all can see . them. To each guest give a little board and a hall of putty soft enough to be worked, with instructions that the busts of Georjje and Martha Washington nre to be modeled from the putty Id. n given time. When the time is up the putty portraits are to be numbered and placed on exhibition, and the guests vote on the best one. the number receiving the largest number of votes to determine the prize winner. The boys are then given sticks of wood and Jackknives with which to whittle out hatchets. The girls are given black pape and scissors with which to cut silhouettes of Maltha Washington. Later the silhouettes of Martha Washington are auctioned off to the boys, and each boy takes to supper the girl who made the Martha Washington which he bid in. lie presents his wooden hatchet to his supper partner. The supper table is decorated with patriotic colors, and the menus should be hatchet shaped. After supper George and Martha may appear In costume and hold an old fashioned White House reception.

The Flag at Trenton. The flog "that Washington had with him when he crossed the Delaware to attack Trenton" was not the "stars and stripes." Washington crossed the Delaware in December, 177(5. and the stars and stripes did not have an existence until the June of 1777. when it was voted into being by the congress. The flag that waved over General Washington on his way to and from Trenton consisted of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, as at present, with a blue canton emblazoned with the crosses of St George and St. Andrew, as in the British flag. The first time the present stars and stripes were flung to the breeze was on the day of the battle of Oriskany, at Fort Stanwix, Aug. 6, 1777. New York American.

Washington's Birthday. While Feb. 22 must forever be chiefly associated in the miuds of patriotic Americans with the birthday of the Father of His Country, that momentons event is not the only one of importance recorded under this date in the annals of history. Nevertheless it overshadows any of the other incidents and episodes with which the historian or the biographer has been called upon to deal. Benjamin Ogle, a lifelong friend of Washington and governor of Maryland from 1798 to 1801, was the first to suggest the birthday of Washington as holiday.

ARBOR DAY PROGRAM. April 28, 1912. Arbor Day exercises at each school. Tree planting by individual pupils. Ex-Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks, or Dr. Stanley Coulter of Purdue university, to give Arbor Day talk during exercises at each building. All patrons invited to be present at their respective buildings.

Fairbanks and Dr. Stanley Coulter will address this meeting. Music will be furnished by the High School orchestra. All citizens are invited.

BY S. E. SWAYNE. President Commercial Club. Three years ago the Commercial club asked Prof. J. F. Thompson to investigate the conditions of the city's trees and report to the club. This was done and the report showed that while we have a good many Etreets that have good trees, yet, as a whole, the condition is such that Richmond Is in danger of losing its reputation as a city of beautiful shade trees. Our trees need attention and care. We need to plant new onea.. Our efforts and Interest In this subject has attracted the attention of the Indiana State Forestry association and it is anxious to help us. The City Schools will observe Arbor Day this year that the result will be a substantial step toward renewing the beauty of our trees. The Lee B. Nusbaum company has purchased two thousand, five hundred young American Elm to be given to the school children to plant and care for. This

number of trees planted in the city at one time will, in a few years count for much. The Indiana 6tate Forestry association has offered to send us two of Its best speakers to help us celebrate the planting of these trees. The Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks and Dr. Stanley Coulter, Dean of Purdue university will be present on that day and will made addresses. Besides being here on Friday of this week to take part In the tree planting exercises, these men will address the citizens of Richmond in the High School auditorium at eight o'clock of that evening. No statesman In tis country Is better qualified to speak on the subject of forestry than is Mr. Fairbanks, besides having been in countries recently where forest destruction has resulted in national calamity, he, has been in countries where forestry is a science and he therefore will speak with authority. Dr. Coulter, we all know; he Is one of Indiana's leading botanists and educators and one of our best foresters. The evening meeting will be held under the auspices of the Commercial club and all the citizens of .Richmond are cordially invited to attend.

New York Sheriffs. The reason why the sheriff of New York cannot be elected to two successive terms is this: It Is the sheriff's duty to carry out the process of courts against official delinquents during trial nnd after conviction. ShouUi a sheriff endeavor forcibly to hold over for a second time after having been defeated for re-election he would be the lustru-

! ment of the court's process against himi self, a paradoxical position which the

J law avoids by making him ineligible J

A PUZZLE IN METALS.

rasa Ha an Odor Yet Copper and Zine 8tparately Have Not. Brass, as every oae knows, has an awful odor, yet the two things of which brass consists, sine and copper, give no odor whatever In their separate states. This Is a problem that has given a great deal of work to scientists. It is one as yet not entirely solved. To arrive at the general law It has been found that almost all alloys, or mixtures of two metals, will give an odor, while the metals themselves do not. Brass Is not the single example, though probably the most odoriferous. The explanation is as follows: All substances. Including metals, are always giving off small particles of their substance to the air that is. evaporating. Some solids give these off so rapIdly as toon to disappear. Gum camphor is a conspicuous example. To smell any substance a particle of that substance has to tickle a nerve ending ia the nose. If a small partiele of copper, .we shall say. does this by itself, no effect is noticed, but if a particle of zinc and a particle of copper strike at the same time the effect is such as to cause a perceptible impulse to the nerve. The chance for these two to strike at the same time is given only when they are intimately mixed in an alloy. New York Tribune.
