The budget system, they declared,

Alexander Graham Bell, inventor
of the telephone, who died yesterday
morning, visited the Deaf and Dumb
institute in Omaha in 1886, accord
ing to E. M. Moriman. vice president
of the Northwestern Bell Telephone
company here. He was interested in
deaf and dumb institutions because
his wife was a deaf mute.
A telegram expressing the senti
ment held by the Bell telephone sys
tem throughout the united , Mates
following his death was received
yesterday by W. B. T. Belt, president
of the Northwestern Belt Telephone
company, from H. B. Thayer, presi

the courts was that of the American
Bell Telephone company against
Spencer, which waa also decided ad

baugh, a Pennsylvania mechanic,
some time about 1872 made a work-
in model of a telephone, using
cisrar box. a elass tumbler, a tin can
and other crude instruments. With
this telephone Jie claimed he' had
carried on a conversation over a
wire several hundred feet long, and
when testimony was taken in Penn
sylvania more than a score ot per
sons were found who testified that
thev had either heard of Draw
baugh's telephone or had used it. In
Drawbaugh t atatement it was aaiq
that he was too poor at the time to
take out the necessary patents, but
the other side showed that he was
not too noor to apply later on for
patents upon other devices of com
paratively no importance. . :
Suit Against BelL '
Suit was also brought aarainst Mr.
Bell by Elisha Gray, who . claimed
that Bell derived by accident or
fraud a knowledge of what was con
tained in a. caveat filed bv Gray, der
scribinsr a nractical and useful form
of telephone, a so-called liquid trans
mitter. This caveat was filed be
fore Mr. Bell applied for his first
patent, and it was charged that the
patent examiner employed upon the
case xoia oeii wn uriy uoum,
and how he did it. The lower court
decided against Gray, dismissing the
charge of official collusion and the
oeciswn in ims case, a wcii
the others, was confirmed by the
United States supreme court in 1888.
The profits from his invention
made Mr. Bell a very wealthy man.
He gave much time and study to the
problem of multiplex telegraphy, and
to efforts to record speech by photo
graphing the vibrations of a jet of
water. He was an earnest advocate

Invents Boat in War.
Dr. Bell's laboratories have been
located since 1886 near Baddeck,
Cape Breton. . There for many years
he conducted research and experi
ment in aerial locomotion and other
scientific subjects and maintained his
private museum showing the de
velopment of his greatest inventions.
He encouraged Samuel P. Langley
to invent the first flying machine and
declared after witnessing its flight at
Quantico, Va., in 1896, that the age
of the airplane was at hand, although
Langley's machine was destroyed.
Dr. Bell formed in 1907 the Aerial
Experiment association with head
quarters in Cape Breton and its ob-
ject to learn to fly. It is claimed
.that it was with the machines de
veloped by that association that the
first really successful public flights
of airplanes in America were made.
In the world war Dr. Bell and F.
W. Baldwin invented a boat called
a hydrodrome. which developed a
speed of 70 miles an hour and was

used an airplane propeller and car

which lifted its main body above

vented its use for those purposes. '

THE OMAHA BEE: THUicsuAr. AUGUST 3. 1922.
U. S. Receives
Stinging Note
on War Debt
Great Britain Will Cancel
Obligations Only if U. S.
Abandon! Claims for
Repayment '
CaMmahl. let!.
London. Atur. 2. John Bull
stepped out yesterday afternbon snd
laid ths troublesome pauper snd waif
the product of Europe's financial
and economic chaos rignt square on
Uncle Sam s doorsteps.
A stinging redhot note was ad
dressed to the allies, big snd little,
snd "communicated' 'to Washington
by the mild, affable, aged Lord Bal
four, who was charged by his hearers
at the disarmament conference with
having called spades spades snd hav
ing said outright that Great Britain
did not intend to lose anything by
any cancellation of debt proposals.
On the contrary, the clever old
diplomat who excelled under the
conditions of old style secret diplom
acy just as he did in Washington
last winter, made it pretty clear that
Great Britain is only willing to erase
worthless debts owed by Russis,
Greece. Juao-Slavia. as well as other
doubtful obligations from the late
stlies on condition that the United
States sbsndon claims for repayment
of the cold hard dollars ladled out
lavishly every time the British em
bassy in Washington asked it during
the war. It was all thickly sugar
coated under terms of "the greatest
internationsl effort in the cause of
freedom" for "s great purpose com
mon to all, snd he shuddered to
think thst "this great event in his
toric setting is treated as no more
than an ordinary commericisl deal be-
tween traders.
Contains Warning.
With the ' phrases Lord Balfour
outdid himself, but elsewhere the
passages in the note revealed dicta
tion by Prime Minister Lloyd George
in warning the united btates that its
demands for payment from Great
Britain made it necessary for 'Great
Britain to out the screws on the
allies, thereby speeding up on the
route toward financial and economic
chaos and worse.
Desoite repeated statements from
the. Washington administration de.
soite advice from Auckland ueddes
despite warnings from Ambassador
Harvey that America is not willing
to mix ' up in European affairs,
whether diplomatic, political, eco
nomic or financial and history has
proved how they are intertwined
Mr Llovd ueoree announced tnai
the United States controls the British
oolicv. and France and the others
must pay England its interest and
principal exactly in the same manner
which America makes .ngiana
pay.
; Tha note .is carefully silent con
cerninsr what Great Britain reaped
throufh victory scuttled the Ger
man fleet, seized German colonies
and riches, and British supremacy in
Eurooe. It passes over the fact that
Great Britain's allies owe itrl.000,
000.000 sterling more than it owes
the United States to boot.
The note bluntly tells. France to
get ready to pay up right away un
der the syrupy promise that France
will not have to pay a higher rate
of interest than the United States
demands from Great Britain. It
maffnanimouslv asserts that "we
could not desire to make profit" The
note overlooks this admission imme
diately following, when stating how
Great Britain "provided," meaning
that it sold to the allies, "food, raw
material and munitions."
America then rets a jab for in
sisting on lending funds to Great
Britain s allies through breat Brit
ain instead of direct, and on British
security.
Also Has joker.
The document concludes by of
fering to "abandon all claims for
German reparations ' and allied
debts," and here comes the joker,
if it is a part of the sreneral plan
for dealing with the problem as a
whole and finding a satisfactory so
lution, which, translated from dip
lomatic .terms, means "if the United
States wipes from the slate what we.
owe it" '
It is sismihcant that the note men
tions the 850,000,000 pounds (about
$3,782,500,000) which Great Britain
owes the United States and then in
cludes the 650,000,000 pounds which
Russia owes Oreat - Britain among
the allied assets, totalling nearly 2,-
000,000,000 pounds, exclusive of Great
Britain s . percentage of Germany's
reparations for 1922.
John Bull stepped out to stop
Germany's reparations. It will be
recalled that at Genoa Lloyd Qeorge
offered to write off the Russian debt
admitting its worthlessness, and be
came angry when M. Barthou was
examining the problem.
While a certain section of the press-
acclaims the proposals, the independ
ent newspapers realize that it is ill-
timed, especially in view, of the
United States' reiterated refusal to do
any such thing.. ,

Glenn E Plumb Dies
of Heart Affection
IfTSBIIIIIglVII, IU . UICII1I Cm
Plumb, counsel for the sixteen larger
rajlroad organizations and author of
the celebrated Plumb plan of railroad
operation andbwnership, died last
atght. Death was due to an affection
of the heart from which he had suf
fered for several months.
Mr. Plumb, a native of Iowa, came
into national prominence in 1918,
when he advanced the plan for rail
road operation that bears hia name
as a solution for the problems of
post-war treatment of the transpor
tation lines then under government
control and operation. In brief, his
plan was nationalization of the car
riers with control vested in di
rectorates in which the public, the
executive staffs of the lines and the
railway employes should have equal
representation. ,
, The plan was endorsed by railway
unions and the Plumb Plan league
organized to urge its adoption. Mr.
Plumb was active in the affairs of
the league until ill-health forced his
retirement last May. He also con
tinued his work as attorney for the
16 labor organizations until that
time, his last active appearance being
befpre the Interstate Commerce
commission to argne the then pend
ing general rate advance case in the
interest of railroad labor.
