Through1 The Static
Well, we had a little bit of static
and a little bit of code, together with
considerable noise last night Stations
out west did not come in with much
clarity. Most of those within 600
miles were heard with good volume.
Burr Mcintosh, the cheerful phil
osopher, although not on the pro
gram, presented an interesting bit
from WDWK, Providence, in the
course of that station's period of
broadcast His talk was Interesting
and he told of his experiences as an
actor and war correspondent
Somebody up on 510 meters was
singing "All Alone." That boy was
mistaken. Ha had plenty of static
and code for company.
WSB, at Atlanlai Georgia, pre
sented a program by a group of old
time fiddlers. This is the first time
we have succeeded in bringing that
station into our set in many moons
and an eclipse. The program was
good, and the station was not both
ered by fading. They played "Yankee
Doodle" and "Turkey In The Straw."
"Carmen," by the Chicago Opera
company, was good what we could
hear of It. The stations were both
ered by about every kind of Inter
ference possible. The broadcast was
cloudy and the presence of another
station In the background was her
alded by that sharp whistle around
WEAN. WNAC faded and the noise
that usually accompanies this sta
tion was present. The noise in ques
tion sounds as someone were moving
the microphone all around the lot
The program from WPG, Atlantic
City, was designed to please even the
most critical. Several orchestras,
playing both concert music and
dance selections, were to be heard.
The orchestra from the Hotel Am
bassador provided the high toned
features, rendering among others,
that favorite, "Mighty Lak' a Rose."
The Hotel Knickerbocker dance
dance orchestra crashed upon the
scene at intervals with a conglomer
ation hectic jazz. "Where Is That
Old Girl of Mine?" they asked, and
then broke out with, "You're The
Only One."
WPG's announcer, Just before
signing off, stated that tonight's
broadcast will be from the boiler
room of what, we don't know.
We heard bits of the broadcast
from WGY, of the program by the
WGY Symphony, between the acts of
"Inside The Lines." We listened to
the music, but didn't care for the
play, not because the play itself was
not commendable, but, to our mind,
hearing a drama or any other pre
sentation from the stage over the
radio is like wearing a blindfold to
the theater.
We slid we Wrd "Bits" of the
orchestra's broadcast. It will be re-
Wmbered that WMBF. Miami
IJeach, is on the same wave length,
practically, and that station mussed
up the Schenectady broadcast to
such an extent that listening in Just
ruined the ear drums.
We waited vainly for one or the
pther to sign off, but they were try
ing to seewhich could last the long
est apparently, and we signed ,oft
first
WDAR, Lit Brothers in Philadel
phia, presented a snappy program
by the Arcadia orehi6tra, Inter
spersed with songs by several artists
from the studio. The program was
excellent but fading took all tho
enjoyment out of listening to that
program, so we sought pleasure else
where. No enjoyment was to be had below
28 meters. The stations below that
wave band fairly lap over one an
other and the whistles and squeals
are blood-curdling.
The four-dash key pounder was
on the air again last night He met
with Instant approval and we listen
ed to him as long as we could stand
it without tearing the aerial off the
roof.

SEEKSNEW TRIAL
Indicates Case Might Be Taken
to U. S. Supreme Court .
By Ths Auwrlnted Prs. '
Chicago, Jnn, II. Colonel Charles
R. Forbes, former director of the
United States Veterans' Bureau and
John W. Thompson, wealthy St.
Louis and Chicago contractor were
found BUllty last night of conspiracy
to defraud tho government In con
trneta for soldiers' hospital!. The
federal Jury took twelve ballots and
delberated Ave hours.
Defense counsel at once moved
for a new trial and Indicated that
the case would be taken, If neces
sary, to the United States supreme
court. Hearing on the motion was
set for February 4 and sentence was
reserved pending Its disposal.
The maximum penalty Is two
years' Imprisonment and a $10,000
fine or either.
The jury Interrupted Its deliber
ation aftor four hours to ask the
court concerning Its right to con
sider over acts committed beyond
the jurisdiction of the trial court
and was Informed that the verdict
must be confined to acts within
the jurisdiction of the court. The
first nine ballots showed nino to
three for conviction; the next two
ten to two, and the end of ten
weeks' testimony and argument
came on the twelfth.
The principal overt act charge
was the alleged payment of $5,000
cash to Forbes by Ellas H. Morti
mer, chief prosecuting witness, here
June 20, 1922. Mortimer said he
paid the money as Thompson's
agent.
At that time, the government
charged, there existed a conspiracy
between Thompson, Forbes, Morti
mer, James W." Black, deceased
partner of Thompson and Charles F.
Cramer, deceased, former general
counsel for the Veterans' Bureau,
fraudulently to award veterans' hos
pital contracts to Thompson and
Black Interests.
Mortimer testified that the gen
eral plan of the alleged conspiracy
was agreed to at a meeting In
Washington June 15, 1922, and the
detailed arrangements made during
an official Inspection trip In June
and July 1922.
The Indictment grew out of sen
sational charges of corruption, col
lusion and loose management In fne
Veterans' Bureau under Forbes In
1921 and 1922, related by Mortimer
before a senaU investigating com
mittee In 1928.
Forbes is also under indictment In
Baltimore on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the government through
the sale of surplus supplies from the
Veterans' Bureau store house at
Perryvllle, Md.
