experimental stations within the Unit
etl States, three hours was consumed
in a single transmission.
An amazing vista of possibilities
of the new invention was traced by
General Harbord during the demons
tration. He said:
“Checks and drafts may be sent by
wircVss. Messages in code where
typographical errors might be dan
goruus, may be transmitted in fac
simile, signatures and fingerprints
ean be compared Instantaneously
over widely separated distances.’’
Inventors Present.
Almost lost in the crowd of curious
observers were the modest men who
ha 1 wrought the miracle. They had
to be sought out. Principal credit was
given to Cnpt. Richard H. Ranger, a
slight, sandy-haired man of 35, with
Spectacles.
Captain Ranger, married, lives at
No. 212 Montclair avenue, Newark.
He was born at Indianapolis, studied
e'"cii pr'"irir.prjnor the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology and
served two years with the signal
corps in France.
E. F. W. Alexanderson, chief con
sulting engineer of the Radio cor
poration, and Chief Engineer C. H.
Taylor were also given part of the
credit for the great achievement.
Captain Ranger also acknowledged
the assistance of Donald G. Ward,
Alfred J. Koenig, Carl Macllvain and
Willi"m Paley of his research staff.
Captain Ranger paid he had made
his first step toward attaining his
end in February, 1923, and had been
constantly at work on the Idea since
that time.
Delayed by Accident.
The transmitting machine which
-despatched the pictures from London
today was sent abroad a month ago
and installed at Marconi House, Lon
don. Donald G. Ward, Captain
Ranger’s principal assistant, took it
abroad. Ward reported by radiogram
that 200 pictures had been filed with
him for transmission. During the
sending of the first picture the glass
cylinder used at the London end to
filter light through the film reproduc
tion of the pictures was broken. This
hampered and impeded the sending.
For the present, General Harboard
said, the Radio corporation had no
facilities for and could not under
take transmission of pictures by wire
less within the United States.

London, Nov. 30.—Two score of in
ternational nows reporters watched
D. O. Ward, American inventor of
the wireless television instrument,
transmit to New York today more
than a dozen photographs for pub
lication in American newspapers.
We were permitted to view the com
plicated mechanism while it was
working, but It is altogether too com
plicated either to understand or de
scribe. The Marconi officials admit
ted that while the idea might he used
by newspapers when the news value
of the picture was so great as to
make the matter of expense unim
portant, the fact remains that the
cost of transmitting photographs is
too great to give the scheme any
commercial value generally.
The average time for transmitting
an ordinary plcturo was between 20
and 30 minutes, the period represent
ing more than $100 in tolls at or
dinary message rates.
The senders here are completely in
the dark as to how the experiment
resulted beyond wireless dispatches
front the I'nited States, stating that
the pictures are "coming splendidly.”
Marconi officials and the London
newspapers are generally aggrieved
that the test should have been made
when only the sending apparatus has
been received from America. An
other test will he made when the re
ceiving paraphernalia arrives.

Eppley Sells Table Roek Hotel
for Cash, Building and Farm
l__i
E. C. Eppley of Omaha, owner of
the largest individually controlled
chain of hotels in the world, an
nounced Saturday evening that he
has 5(1 hotel rooms less than he had
a few days ago.
Heretofore Mr. Eppley has done
nothing but buy hotels. He buys
them as most men buy the week's
supply of groceries. But now he has
sold one—the 50-room Hotel Lincoln
at Table Rock, Neb.
To say that Mr. Eppley sold the
hotel is not quite correct. He traded
it away after considerable dickering
with Harry Goldstein of Lincoln.
Small boys have been known to
trade jack knives, tops and marbles
for tame rabbits and whatnot. Some
times they make “sight unseen”
trades.
Mr. Eppley's trade was almost
"sightunseen.” In return for his
hotel at Table Rock, which is named
the Lincoln, he received one cash
payment, one apartment house in
Kansas City, and one tract of Innd
reputed to contain 700 acres of land
bordering on 1-ake Superior,
The land, according to rumors, l»
near the Ben Gallagher chicken farm.
The rumor could not be verified,
however, even by Mr. Eppley. Nor,
for that matter, could It be refuted.
Mr. Eppley has never seen it.
The Lincoln hotel in Table Rock
was built on the stock subscription
plan and houses a motion picture
theater, a hank and a garage.
Mr. Eppley acquired it through the
receivership sale of the defunct Ne
braska Hotel company. He decided,
however, that it was a little too far
removed from the rest of his chain.
He decided it was.
Mr. Goldstein has rented the prop
erty to R. L. Zimmer, who will op
erate it. It. E. Handlin, the Eppley
manager at Table Rock, has been
brought to Omaha for a time.
Mr. Eppley is undecided just where
to place M’r. Handlin. it has been
suggested that Mr. Handlin be made
foreman of the 700-acre ranch on
Lake Superior.

Fight Looms in
Congress, After

Situation—Reprisals Ex

Regulars.
(Continued From rase One.)
President Coolldge, which already has
begun its work.
The general proposal for this sort
of legislation is one upon which all
the blocs in congress are agreed,
though there is a vast difference of
opinion as to the form the measure
should take.
Such aid constituted a plank in
the platforms of the three major
parties in the last election and only
today Senator Brookhart of Iowa, one
of the La Follette leaders and one of
those read out of the party by senate
republicans, promised to give his sup
port to such an administration meas
ure.
Howell to Reopen Rail Rill.
"If the president,” he said, "pro
poses a bill as efficient for the farmers
as the railroad bill Is for the rail
roads and the protective tariff hill Is
for the industries of the United
States, it will have no more loyal
supporter than myself. In fact, I
am sure that I will be much more
loyal (o such a policy than many of
the distinguished senators who have
presumed to read me out of the
party."
Amendments to the transportation
art make up other legislation for
which there will bo a demand from
all sides in both houses. Bills af
fecting freight rates and Pullman
surcharges and providing for the
abolition of the railroad labor board
already are pending In one house or
the other, and there will be deter
mined efforts to bring them to the
front.
In the house, the Howell-Barkley
bill to abolish this hoard has the
right of way, but since there will be
no legislative action there Monday,
the measure will have to go over for
two weeks under the rules.
Under an unanimous consent agree
ment entered Into In the senate at
the last session, the Muscle Shoals
question will come up In the senate
Wednesday, but since Henry Ford has
publicly announced the withdrawal of
his offer for this power development
propect, the whole subject probably
will be sent back to committee for
consideration of the several new pro
posals which will be submitted early
this week In the form of bills.

Who to h!s appetite fa slave
la heading for an *»arlv grave.
—Old Mother Nature.
Reddy Fox Makes Trouble
"I feel just like a chicken dinner.”
said Reddy Fox as he prepared to
start out hunting early one evening.
Mrs. Reddy, who also waa prepar
ing to start out hunting, looked up
quickly. “Forget It," said she. “Your
appetite for chickens will get us In
trouble sooner or later. You had
chicken night before last, and two
night before last. Keep away from
those chickens for a while.”
"But chicken does taste so good.”
said Reddy with a sigh. “A plump
chicken is worth running a little risk
for once In a while. I don't believe
one chicken will be missed from so
many.”
"Perhaps one wonldn’t be. but you
have already taken several. And you
needn't try to tell me that they
haven't been missed." retorted Mrs.
Reddy. “If you’ve got any sense at
all, you will keep away from those
chickens until that farmer has had
time to forget those he has lost.”
“I suppose you are right, my
dear. You usually are.” replied Reddy
and sighed again. “I'll see If I can
find some mice tonight.”
So Reddy went in one direction and
Mrs. Reddy went in another direc
tion. But Reddy had no luck at all.
He hunted and hunted without catch
ing a single mouse. Two or three
times ho almost caught one, but
each time he was Just too late. Per
haps it was because he wasn't pay
ing close enough attention to what
ho was doing. You see he waa still
thinking of those chickens.
Now, Reddy really had Intended
to keep away from those chickens.
But as he kept going farther and
farther in his hunt for mice he drew
nearer and nearer to that farm. At
Inst lie wan very near the hen house
he had visited two nights before. He
pretended to lie surprised to find him
self there. Yes, sir, Reddy Fox pre
tended that he didn't know that ho
lied come so fir over *lmt way. Ho
was trying to fool himself.
"Now, how did 1 ever get way over
here?" said he. "I didn't Intend to
come over here. No, sir, 1 didn’t in
tend to come over here. But now that
I'm here I believe that I'll just look
around that chicken house a little.
1 won't try to get a chicken tonight,
hut I’ll just make sure that hole I
got into the other night hasn’t been
closed up. Just looking around isn’t
going to hurt anybody and isn't go
ing to get me into trouble."
So, ke< ping in the Black Shadows,
"Hut chicken fines taste sn good,”
said Keddy with a sigh
Reddy stole over to that henhouse.
Hidden by the pile of brush against
the back of that henhouse was a
hole. It led under th‘e henhouse. Red
dy knew all about it. The truth Is,
he had dug that hole himself. In a.
corner of the henhouse behind some
boxes there was a hole in the floor.
The farmer who owned that hen
house was one of those men who is
always going to do things and never
does them. For a long time he had
been meaning to put a new board In,
in place of the one that was broken.
But he hadn’t done It.
Reddy stopped -outside the hen
house and listened. Then temptation i
proved too much for him. He slipped
through that hole at the back, and
then through the hole in the floor.
A plump young hen was roosting
within reach. Reddy Rprang. Some
how he didn’t catch that hen just as.
he Intended to and she gave a
frightened squawk. This wakened the
others and they all began a great cack
ling. Reddy seized the young hen by
the neck and darted out. Before he
was out of hearing he heard a door
slam, the sound of running feet and
the excited yelp of a dog. Then he
knew that at last he had made
trouble.
(Copyrisht, 1924.)

State Program
for Roads Gets
Wide Approval
Greater Omaha Committee In
Told That Favorable Legis
lative Action May Be
Wgl'M
The state wide good roads program,
as outlined by the Nebraska Good
Hoads association, Is meeting with
popular approval in all parts of the
state, officials of the association ad
vised the Greater Omaha committee
yesterday.
Peter Clement, field agent of the
association, in hig report to B. F.
George of Lincoln, who is secretary,
reported that senators and represent
atives in outlying counties realize
that- the good roads program is not
a selfish move on the part of inter
ests In Omaha and Lincoln, but a
state wide civic project.
Mr. Clement's reports are very en
couraging, according to Mr. George,
who is a veteran good roads enthusi
ast. He and the president, W. H.
Blakeman of Norfolk, are working In
close co-operation with T. C. Byrne,
chairman of the good roads commit
tee of the Greater Omaha committee.
‘ I feel confident that our good
roads program will meet wtlh the
approval of the coming legislature.”
-aid Mr. George. "The program will
bring good roads to nearly all parts
of the state and all of the state will
reap the benefits. Because of the
condition of Nebraska's roads this
state is losing many thousands of
dollars annually because tourists are
going by thh way of Missouri and
Kansas City.”
Following Is the good roads pro
gram as being sponsored by the
Greater Omaha committee and the
Nebraska Good Roads' association:
The appointment of a bi partisan
state highway commission to have
charge of the improvement and main
tenance of all state highways.
A 2-cent gasoline tax, this tax to
be collected at the point of Inspecion.
Appropriation by the state legislature
of .all funds necessary to meet govern
ment funds, apportioned to Nebraska
under the federal aid road act.
A division of ail funds accruing
under the state automobile license
law to the various counties of the
state, to be apportioned 50 per cent
for improvement of state highways
and 50 pey cent for the Improvement
of secondary roads under couny su
pervision.
The state good roads program has
been endorsed not only by the Greater
Omaha committee but also by the
Chamber of Commerce, the Omaha
Heal Estate hoard and many civic
organizations in the state.
