10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1920 VOICES ARE HEARD coss mm Marconi Experts Report Won derful Results. TALK CARRIES 2000 MILES Scientific Experiments as Revolu tionary in Character as Any thing in Modern Times. BT. JOHNS, N. F., July 23. Experts from the Marconi Wireless company, who are conducting experiments in Ions-distance wireless telephonic .communication, announce that on Wednesday they heard messages from the Chelmsford station near London, more than 2000 miles distant. They eaid that they recognized the voice of Captain Round, the expert in charge, and identified several words but failed to pick up any connected sentence. The station here is located on Sig nal hill, where Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless tele graph message 20 years ago. The civilized world Is seeing this week the first steps in scientific ex periments as revolutionary in char acter as anything in modern times. This will embrace tests in wireless telephony from here to the liner Vic torian in mid-Atlantic or perhaps further away. This experiment is being undertaken by William Mar coni, famous wireless expert, who nearly 19 years ago etartled the world by receiving wireless messages here from his station at Poldhu, on the Cornish coast, about 2100 miles dis tant. Wireless Process Rapid. Of late years Marconi has been ex perimenting with wireless telephony, and in August last year had achieved from 20 to 30 miles. Since then wireless telephony has made rapid progress. Laet month in London Mme. Melba gave a remarkable demonstra tion of singing into a phonograph horn attached to a telephone trans mitter equipped with special ap paratus provided by Marconi, with tho result that she was heard in various cities of Europe Madrid, Home. Paris, Berlin and Stockholm and by ships at various points on the ocean surrounding the British coast. The experiment here is designed for three purposes first, to prove the possibility of transmitting telephonic signals across the Atlantic; second, to send them at least half way across the Atlantic; third, to demonstrate to a gathering of British journalists the possibilities of wireless telephony for communication over sea spaces, des ert wastes, areas where ordinary telephonic communication is impossi ble, and especially between the ground and Airplanes and between different airplanes operating in the Heavens, Powerful Apparatus Carried. The steamship Victorian has been equipped for the experiment with a three-kilowatt apparatus, which le considered sufficiently powerful to enable her to speak with Poldhu on the one side and St. Johns on the other, and It Is hoped that before eha loses touch with the British station she will be in communica tion with Newfoundland. This would mean she would be in communication for the whole voyage, not with expert wireless operators or telegraph In etruments. but with anybody at the land stations who wished to speak with anyone- on the ship by means of the telephone. For the purpose of demonstrating conclusively the genuineness of the experiments arrangements have been made for the governor of Jtewiountt land, senior naval officers, members of the government and other officials and representatives of the local and foreign newspapers to speak, witn any parties on tho ship they may desire and virtually continuous inter. course will be maintained all through the voyage. The station on Signal hill, which is purely experimental, has been con trived by utilizing the Cabot tower or sijnal station for headquarters and erecting a wooden mast 180 feet high in three sections and secured by eteel cables alongside the tower. Uhe aerial cables which are a feature of wireless stations are strung from the top of this spar to the center pole of the station and the vertical lines run to the machinery which has been - installed in the main room of the tower. Some distance away a 15 horsepower gasoline engine has been eet up in the wooden shed for the purpose of energizing two dynamos capable of generating current suffi ciently powerful to send wireless im pulses nearly 2000 miles. Good Result Looked For. It is hoped this station can reach the Victorian when half way across the Atlantic, if not before, and once fhe is spoken with she will be kept in touch until she reaches Ssydney, i. fa. where she is to land the press party on next Tuesday. The instrument is under the charge tof Electrician Mogridge, who directed Mme. Melba's experiment in London last month. He has no doubt even better results will be attained, be cause, he says, the installation now used is more powerful and there will be no land whatever Intervening be tween the station and the ship, where as in England the case was very dif ferent. He believes It possible Poldhu may be spoken with, and when done with the Victorian he will make fur ther experiments, probably from the Canadian mainland with Poldhu and definitely establishing wireless teleg raphy from land to land. - Early in 1914 Marconi claimed he received wireless telephonies signals from Poldhu at his station in Glace bay in Cape Breton, but the war in terfered with the, experiments and they were abandoned. Now they are toeing resumed on the same lines. if you want the genuine in bottles fa? the home at soda fountains and on draught- 3 t -W 4 T-T1 TW ,eN 5.-4 r : f . j 1 twtaiiirTiarSifiiiiiri-TitMnitiMftr "tiff ii'iiMii Scene from "The Fortune Teller," Tvnl eh today with a former Portland Sir I, role.

Any question concerning the past or future may be put to him and t is said that she will be able to answer. Psychic phenomena has been writ ten and talked about since the days or the Old Testament. Never, per haps, has the subject attracted the attention of a people so completely as it has the United States since the end ing of the great war. Numberless books have been published and Sir Oliver Lodge. British scientist and psychologist has toured the country in an effort to explain his views and investigations. It remained for the stage, however. to bring home to the people the true essence of spiritualism. Several Broadway successes were based on this theme, but none exemplified it more strikingly or logically than "The Fortune Teller," the play by Leighton Graves Osmon, in which Marjorie Rambeau, the greatest emotional ac tress of the American stage, was starred. Motherhood is the companion theme to spiritualism in the play. It might be said that motherhood virtually is the leading theme, for it is the tre mendous urge of mother love that en ables Miss Rambeau, as Renee Brown ing, the much-sinned-against heroine, to score so majestically in the great psychic scene of "The Fortune Teller," a picture which should be seen for its educational as well as its entertain ment qualities. Screen Gossip. Francesco Longo, Rivoli pianist, will THERE was a time when society was dull and uninteresting in the cummer time; when no one entertained and the city was deserted.

Hicks, J-epresentativ in congress from the First New York district, was in Portland for a few hours yesterday as the guest of Rep resentative JttcArtnur. Mr. Hicks resides at Port Washing lngton, L,ong island, and is servin his third term in congress. He an Mr. McArthur are fellow members o the house committee on naval affairs, Mr. Hicks has been on a eight seeing trip which Included Yellow stone lake. He spoke enthusias Crater lake. He spoke enthusias tically about Crater lake, but added that Oregon is losing a great oppor- iunii lvj uianc una ..nuuucriui piece of jacenery the Mecca (or all western tourists by not having adequate hotel accommodations within the park. "Crater lake is one of the wonders of the world," said Mr. Hicks. "I fear, however, that Oregon Is not aware of the splendid opportunities which this great natural wonder has placed within her grasp. The hotel facili ties in the park are not what they should be, but I am hopeful that the people of Oregon will do something to improve them. Xour splendid highway programme which will place Crater lake within easy reach of tourists should be followed by some comprehensive plan for their proper housing and entertainment. "Oregon is a great state and Port land a great city. I have been here many times before and shall return again in November with the con gressional naval commission. This commission will make a report to congress on all questions affecting Pacific coast naval establishments." When questioned about the political situation, Mr. Hicks, who is one of the recognized republican leaders In congress, said: "Harding and Coolidge are both 6trong men and the ticket is a for midable one. Everywhere in the west I have heard encouraging reports which indicate that the republicans will sweep the country in November. The situation in New York is entirely satisfactory from a republican stand point. I congratulate the people of Ore gon on their good judgment In re nominating Representatives Hawley, Sinnott and McArthur.

EDAHO LOOKS REPUBLICAN SEXTISLEXT FOR HARDIXG, SAYS RKPIUSSEXTATIVE SMITH. Attitude of Nominee on Irrigation Especially Pleasing to Dry Land States. "Idaho has backed a republican for president only twice In its history, and the third time will be when Harding carries the state in the com ing presidential election," said Addi son T. Smith, fourth-term representa tive from Idaho, who is in Portland. Mr. Smith, who is accompanied by his wife, will leave tomorrow for the Yellowstone park to return later to his home at Twin Falls. "Senator Harding's speech of ac ceptance was characteristic of the man," declared Mr. Smith. "It was open, frank and specific. There is no uncertainty as to where he stands on the vital issues. His attitude on the league of nations is unmistakably American and will be approved by the great mass of the voters who believe in American ideals. Senator Harding's attitude on rec lamation is of vital importance to Idaho, declared Mr. Smith. More than 100,000,000 worth of wealth has been reated during the last ten years at an expenditure of about $20,000,000, nd land values have risen from $10 n acre to an average of $300 an acre on irrigation projects, he declared. "I am especially pleased with Sen ator Harding's attitude toward the eclamation policy under which nearly ,000,000 acres of arid land has been reclaimed," he said. "By an exten- ion of this policy, as is urged in the letter of acceptance, many millions more may be reclaimed. Idaho alone has 2,000,000 acres for which water may be made available by (storage reservoirs. 'The recent visit of the committee on appropriations of the lower house of congress tothe public land states will be most beneficial to the west. Personal observation of what has been accomplished in the development of the resources of the west will make it easier to obtain legislation."

TIMBERS FOUND ROTTING Soft Brick, Bulging Walls and Faulty Construction Generally Reported Disclosed. Although constructed only 10 years ago, the James John high school building at St. Johns has so deteri orated that It probably will have to be condemned at once. This condi tion, which presents a serious nrob lem to the Portland school district, was discovered yesterday during an inspection of the building by George a. 1 nomas and William H. Woodward who compose the building and grounds committee of the school board; R. H. Thomas, school clerk and Building Supervisor Satterlee. So defective was the building found mat me airectors Deneve the 300 or 400 pupils who attended the school last year were constantly in danger. The best they hope for is that the structure may be repaired and strengthened eo as to make it tem porarily safe. At present they be lieve it is beyond repair and will have to be condemned. This point will probably be settled at a further in spection to be made today.

Mr. Woodward declared last night that the building showed evidence of having been improperly constructed ihe original construction," he as serted, "was little less than criminal.

Director Thomas and School Clerk Thomas agree that the building is de ciaeaiy unsafe for occupancy. Seriona Conditions Shown. "It would be criminal negligence to permit children to use this build ing in its present condition," de clared Director Thomas. For some time It has been known that the building was in bad condi tion, but it was not until yesterday mat tne real situation was realized. I understand," eaid Mr. Woodward "that the city building inspector year ago reported that the building was faulty, but that it was safe. It certainly is lar rrom saie now. ine revelations yesterday were particularly evident where part of one wall has been torn away. In- structions were E-iven tht J.

I was nervous and restless and racked with pain I often lay awake nearly all night. I had very bad headaches and finally got to be' very despondent about my condition. "It was a lucly day for too when I began taking Tanlac, for I saw an improvement almost immediately. My appetite picked up wonderfully and my stomach misery quit troubling me. I can now eat heartily of just any thing I want and never have a touch of indigestion. My rheumatism has eased up. my nerves have quieted and I now sleep well at night. I have gained back the weight I lost and have so much etrength and energy I now do my housework with ease. In fact. I feel like a new person, and I never expect to be without Tanlac."
