K. Giragossian bnt Otlierfi Point
to Scoffers of Wireless and
I Iianglej's Fljiiiff Machine.
PRCGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 13. Is the greatest dis
covery of the age, if not of all times,
about to be revealed to the worH and
placed at the disposal of the United
States Government? Only one man
knows, but Congress, just before ad
journment, adopted a resolution which
will lead to the answer to this ques
tion. A Bostonian, Garabed T. K. Gira
gossian. came to Washington recently
and announced to the committee on
patents that he had discovered a new
source of enemy and had devised ma
chinery to be operated by this hereto
fore unknown, or little known, force.
.Tust exactly what Jlr. Giragossian has
Invented he did not make plain to Con
gress, but only enough was disclosed
to show that ho had discovered, or
claimed to have discovered, the secret
of using: the mighty cosmic forces to
drive machinery: that he had learned
how to utilize for motive purposes the
Infinite streams of energy that cease
lessly flow through the vast spaces of
the universe.
Kelvin's Prediction Recalled.
This sounds vague, but that was the
way the discovery . was described by
one of the members of Congress who
had become interested, and he pointed
to the fact that Lord Kelvin had pre
dicted that in time some man greater
than his fellows would discover "the
secret of harnessing for man's use
some portion of the infinite energy
which holda the stars in their appoint
ed courses and maintains the orderly
movements of the whirling suns."
Mr. Giraeossian claims that he has
arrived at this secret through 20 years
of scientific study. He came to Washington-
asking that his. invention be
safeguarded by a special act of Con
gress, and offered his device and pro
cess to the Government if, at a demon
stration which he proposes, it is pro
nounced feasible and practicable by Ave
recognized scientists, who are to be
vouched for by the Secretary of the In
terior. Coal Would He T'anecessary.
Naturally enough, when a bill to pro
tect this invention was brought into
Congress it was ridiculed by skeptical j
members, but it found many support
ers, who thought that it the discovery
should be investigated, on the chance
that It might be all. the inventor
claimed for it. It was shown that if
Mr. Giragossian could actually harness
these unknown forces, if he could, so
to speak, pick power out of the air, he
could save the millions of .dollars that
go annually into coal for the genera
tion of steam and electricity, and could
accomplish unbelievable things not
only for the United States Govern
ment, but for the entire American peo
ple. When certain skeptics In the House
undertook to ridicule the claims of Mr.
Giragossian, some of the oldermem
bers came to the inventor's defense and
showed how some of the greatest in
ventions of the last century were ridi
culed when nrst proposed. Mr. Saun
ders, of Virginia, first came to the de
fense of the Boston inventor, saying:
"He has no perpetual motion ma
chine. He connects his machine, or me
chanical device, with the infinite forces
of the cosmos, as I understand his con
tention, and, deriving- its power fnom
this infinite source, his machine will
continue to run until in time it will
wear out and must be replaced. Just
as the mighty turbines driven by the
falling waters of Niagara must be re
placed, though humanly speaking the
power that drives them will go on for
ever. It is a vast claim that he makes.'
1 do not know that it is true, but he
asks only that we afford him flie op
portunity to make good his contention
without money and without price on
our part."
Langley Case Cited.
Uncle Joe Cannon contributed his bit
to the discussion. He said:
"I want to say a word about the fly
ing machine. Professor Langley died
I believe he was ridiculed to death
about his flying machine. He appeared
before the committee on appropriations
that I had the honor to preside over,
and he said: "I want $5000 or $10.000,
whichever It was 'to experiment."
"What is It," I aaid, 'professor?' "Oh."
said he, 1 want to perfect a flying ma
chine." Said I: 'My God!" He said;
Xow, Mr. Cannon, do not birds fly, and
are they not heavier than air?' I came
down, as Davy Crockett's coon offered
to do when Davy Crockett was out
with his gun. I reported it, and we
had a lively contest In tho House to
pass it, and they passed it in the Sen
ate, they made fun of it, and the news
papers made fun of It. And yet he had
a flying machine; he developed the ma
chinery, you see. He had the idea. His
engine was Imperfect, but it was good
enough to make it ny for a minute,
and it made all things follow. And
now we have the flying machine."
What People Are Saying.
Condensed From Prrei TJlspatcfcee.
DENOUNCING Government war pol
icies and calling President Wilson
"our Incomparable opportunist." the
Rev. Dan TF. Bradley, pastor of the
rilgrim Church, Cleveland, O.. created
a furore at tho National coilncll of
Congregational churches in Columbus,
O., and drew opposition from among his
audience.
"With our Incomparable opportunist
in the White House, bolstered by the
free-labor loving Samuel Gompers on
the one hand." said Rev. Mr. Bradley,
"and the patriotic controllers of all the
oil and the gold and the lumber and
the wheat and copper and aluminum
on the other, all safe and sane men,
getting valuable Government contracts,
with the farmers happy with a double
price for their wheat and all dangerous
Socialists either in the workhouse or
traveling thither, democracy is safe,
especially when such tireless traitors
as La Follette could be taken out and
shot."
Arctic exploration by airplane, advo
cated by Rear-Admiral Robert E. Peary
as a solution of the problem of the
frozen North, was indorsed strongly by
Ionald B. MacMillan. leader of the
Orockerla.-nd relief expedition, in an ad
dress at a dinner given in his honor
by the Explorers' Club at New York.
"Vast expanses of land and ice which
now take months and years to cover,"
MacMillan said, "will be conquered
through the great messengers of the
air. During the four years which 1
spent in the Arctic regions I became
impressed with the necessity lor inirea
effort on the part of explorers. That
which required months of effort by my
companions and myself could have been
done in a matter of hours from Grant
land to Cape Columbia and from the
latter point back to McCormick Bay in
a matter of a day by airplane."
Governor Charles S. Whitman, of New
York, speaking at the annual banquet
of the Associated Business Papers in
Chicago, declared the world war must
be won by a business conduct or tne
fighting forces of the allies. He plead-
d for an undivided Support by tne
business men of the country of the
Government's war policies.
T. P. O'Connor spoke of Ireland and
its struggle for freedom and urged
liberal purchases of liberty bonds.
Declaring that efforts to disparage
the work of the American Red Cross
are being made in various sections
of the country as part of an anti-
patriotic propaganda. General Manager
Harvey D. Wilson telegraphs all divi
sion managers to begin a Nation-wide
campaign to trace the movement from
its source and combat It.
The Red Cross is being run as an
open book." says Mr. Wilson. It has
no secrets. It is making a sincere ei
fort to serve mankind and is doing it
as carefully and economically as it
knows how. Its accounts are -to be
audited by the War Department and
tmost effort is being mad, to give
publicity to all its activities."
The diplomacy of France is defended
eloquently by former Premier Briand in
the Chamber of Deputies during an in
terpellation on French diplomatic ac
tion .during the war. M. Briand says
the work of French diplomats must be
Judged by the results of Germany's
ultra-modern diplomacy, which has
brought the brand of infamy on that
country's good name. After Great
Britain and Italy has taken their place
beside France. there comes Japan. Kou
rnanla. "the great and noble country.
the United States," and almost every
country in the world.
Ask America ' about our diplomatic
action." declared the former Premier. "I
defy you to find anything humiliating
being said about France."
After accusing Great Britain of at
tempting to bully Holland by stopping
all commercial cable communication
with Holland until the Netherlands
government places an absolute restric
tion on the transit of sand, gravel and
scrap metals through Holland from
Germany to Belgium, the influential
Liberal organ, the Amsterdam Handels-
blad, bitterly terms the refusal of the
United States to give bunker coal to
Dutch ships an unfriendly act and an
act of bad faith, and says a refusal
by Holland in like circumstances would
be regarded as a hostile act.

Jan W. M. Ilnsfcinjr Thought to Have
Been in Xevada.
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 13. (Special.) It
became known today that J an W. M.
Massing. Portland wife murderer, who
escaped from the state i-enitentiary
several weeks ago, was virtually m
the toils of the law at Tonopah. Nev., a
few days ago. but made his escape.
The Sheriff of Tonopah notified
Warden Murphy- by mail that a man
answering Hassing's description was In
Tonopah and asked to know what he
should do about it. The warden im
mediately telegraphed to arrest the
man and hold him. A guard was sent
there, and found that Hassing had fled.
There can be no doubt as to the iden
tity of Hassing, Warden Murphy states,
as he has marks, upon his face which
identify him beyond dispute. He worked
as an electrician at Tonopah. This is
Hassing's sole trade.
