JENKINS TELLS EARLY; EFFORTS TO MAKE MOVIES

r C. j Francis Jenkins of WMninston, D. C, ft brother .of Atwood Jenkins of Richmond and a former , resident of this tit, Invented the motion picture machine in 1894 and received $5 nO for his invention. Articles on the subject of the ups and downs of the former Richmond man, which were written by James B. Morrow, 1 a Washington newspaper correspond-at, were printed fiunday in the magazine sections of a number of metropolitan newspapers. "My price was f 10,000," Mr. Jenkins told Mr. Morrow in the interview, "the buyers offered $2,500 and we compromised. Now according to the figures of the government, a billion and a half Is 'invented in the 'movie' business. The profits last year were forty-five per, cent. Eleven million -people are seeking the pictures daily. s '"Whut u. ou mrr first Inventlnn ' Abean sheller. I was ten years old at the time. My father.a Quaker farmer, moved to Ohio, from North Carolina because he was opposed to slavery and I settled near the city of Dayton, said-he ccii Id shell more beans by hand than I cowld with my contraption. iMy next Invention was a Jack for raising wagons. We were then living ' on a large farm seven miles from Richmond, Ind. Ventures which 'followed were dismal failures. My father sent i me to Earlnam college where I made gOod headway In mathematics. I might have been a farmer, an engineer or a business man, but the west beckoned tome and I answered the call." - x-t. ITALY BLAMES GERMANY FOR . ANCONA'S LOSS ROME, Nov. 15. Officials of the Italian admiralty take direct issue with the Austro-Hungarian ministry of marine over the nationality of the submarine which sank the Ancona. Despite the official, declaration of the AUstro-Hungarian' ministry that it was an Italian subsea. boat which destroyed the liner with the loss of over two hundred lives, Italian officials cling to the charge that it was a German submarine. The Italian government has sent a note to the neutral powers protesting against the loss of the Ancona. The note denies the vessel carried war supplies. ANCONA DESTRUCTION CAUSES NO BRAEK IN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 Although conflicting reports concerning the circumstances-of the destruction of the Italian liner Ancona have created confusion in official circles, it was believed today that the issues involved will not raise any new danger - between any of the belligerents. First of all, the assumption by the Austro Hungarian admiralty of full responsibility of the Binking of the Ancona removes all likelihood of a reopening of the submarine controversy with Germany. While diplomatic correspondence may grow out of this i latest sea tragedy, it will T)e between the United States and Austria-Hungary alone. In the opinion of observers today. ADRIATIC IS SAFE NEW YORK,. Nov. 15, To allay wild rumors that the Adriatic has been sunk by a German submarine the International Mercantile company issued this statement today: "The White Star liner Adriatic arrived at Liverpool last Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. She will not sail for New York until Nov. 24." PROCLAIMS NEUTRALITY. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. President Wilson today issued the formal announcement of this government's neutrality in the war of Great Britain, France and Servia against Bulgaria.
