truth of charges made against Over

turf had stated a few hours earlier
.that he would request such an in
; Yestigation.
--In a statement issued this after
"noon Overturf asserted that his dis

Trial of Chinaman on Charge of
Shooting White Continued
Until Today.
Lim Kee, on trial for the murder
Lof John Stevens last November,
was pointed out in the circuit court
room Wednesday afternoon by R. F.
Heinig as a Chmaman who greatly
resembled a man the witness- had
seen walking at a rapid rate away
from the scene of the tong battle in
which Stevens, an innocent pedes
trian, was killed by one of the bul
lets fired at a fleeing member of a
rival tong by Harry Chin, who has
already pleaded guilty to the shoot
ing and been sentenced to the state
penitentiary for life. e
The state, in its efforts to obtain
the conviction of Kee, is seeking to
prove that the Chinaman was-Chin s
companion on the night of the gun
battle. Heinig, a stationary en
gineer, testified that he was stand
ing in the doorway of an employ
ment office near Second and -tsurn-side
streets when he heard the
fusillade of shots.
He stepped to the door in time to
see Harry Chin running away, he
declared, and while there noticed
another Chinaman walking past him
on the sidewalk. He said this China
man appeared to be the same age as
Kee and of the same general build.
John Anderson testified that he
saw Chin shooting.
The case will probably occupy the
rest of the week.

RADIO TRANSMITS POWER
Electric Light Bulb Ignited at
Distance of 2000 Feet.'
SAM FRANCISCO. Successful
transmission of electric motive
power by radio, a feat much sought
after for years in wireless aeveiop
ment. but hitherto unaccomplished,
announced by the Lnited htates
Radio corporation, a San Francisco
rnnr.ern.
The discovery of a method oi sucn.
nnnrAf transmission. accoruiHK lu
Wallace F. Vail, president of the Ban
Francisco company, was iirst maae
wo weeks ago.
As a result of successful demon-
tration of the new discovery. Vail
also announced, government autnor-
ties at Washington have oraerea
n immediate, investigation Dy
nited States navy engineers at
Mare Island with a view, it is be
lieved, of further development and
utilization of the invention for grov-
rnment purposes.
The demonstrations already given,
nd which are declared to be a con-
derable improvement over the
first discoveries made two weeks
P"o. are said to consist in transmit-
titng sufficient electrical energy a
istance of 20-00 feet to light bril
liantly two 130-volt 50-wa-tt tung-
ten bulbs. ,
Another- successful experiment
which is said to have been made in
the ringing of an electric doorbell in
Berkeley by radio power sent out
from the radio corporation's plant.
President Vail of the local radio
concern yesterday refused to make
any forecasts as to what further de
velopments anight come from the
new invention or to predict that it
was the first development in the
transmission of electric energy in
sufficient quantities for commercial
purposes.
"The discovery was the result of
experiments, and, although we have
given some highly gratifying dem
onstrations, it is still in the experi
mental stage," he declared.
"The greatest distance that we
have been able to transmi t suffi
cient electric energy to light large
electric bulbs is only 2000 feet.
When it is remembered that the
first experiments in radiophone
transmission showed even a lesser
range, and that the distance has
been increased to thousands of miles
since that time, the new discovery
might be said to open up a wonder
ful field of possibilities."
According to officials of the radio
concern- the successful experiments
so far made have been carried on
with an ordinary high-power radio
broadcasting outfit, together with a
special "hookup" on a receiving set.

RADIO MUSIC P1SED
MRS.
lAXTEN'S SOLOS ARE
HUGE SUCESS.
Miss Margaret Laughton Plays
Flute Obligato' for Vocal
Solo Artist.
The soprano solos of Jeannette
Boyer Xanten, with flute obligato
by Miss Margaret Laughton, broad
ast from The Oregonian radio
tower Wednesday night, were pro
nounced the most beautiful music
ever sent out over the air in Port
land by dozens of fans.
Mrs. Xanten took part In the sec
ond concert, -which had been ar
ranged, by Paul Petri, her teacher.
The first concert, wh,ich was of a
different type, but also as nearly
perfect as possible,, was given by
Miss Marjorie Trotter, violinist;
Miss Eda Trotter, pianist, and Mark
V. Ianiels, baritone. Very few of
the all-star double programmes
which The Oregonian has broadcast
on Wednesday nights have raised as
much enthusiasm among the radio
audience as this, the concert's last
night.
The second concert" consisted of
violin, flute and soprano solos, and
two of the artists were new to local
radio fans. These were Miss Ines
M. Chambers, violinst, and Jeanette
Boyer Xanten, soprano.
Miss Chambers was an excep
tional find, and her four violin
solos went out clearly and dis
tinctly. At the piano was Mrs.
Alvina E. Knowlton. an unusually
able accompanist, and her solos did
much to make the solos the master
pieces they were.
It was Miss Laugnton's mth radio
concert as a flute soloist and she
scored the same triumph that has
accompanied her on all the others.
She played two solos, and each was
enthusiastically applauded.

crystal set.
As the crystal set will receive, as
a rule, only up to about -5 miles,
his reception of stations from SO' to
500 miles with such & set was out
of the ordinary. It was probably
due to extraordinary conditions at
tending both transmitting and re
ct'iving station localities.
A dozen more letters were re
ceived Wednesday from distant
points-that heard one or more con
certs from The Oregonian during
the last week. AH together, nearly
10C letters have been received in a
week from fans living in Califor

inches in circumference was re
