Marconi Radios To Lessen Risk Of Sea Flight ftviators To Be Kept Con timially in Toueh With Shore by Wireless Tele phones and Telegraph War Secrets Disclosed Lifting of Baii Permits the World to Know How New Seience Has Developed MONTEEAL, March 22.?Aviator? engaged in the transatlantic flights will never lose touch with their frlends on shore. Friendly voices will advise them and their progress or difficulties en route will be reported in their own words and heard in their own voices by eager watchers. Thc Marconi wire? less telephone will make this possible, says an announcement given out by Thomas Robb, mnnaging director of the Canadian works. The flight will be made direct from the west coast of Ireland to Newformdland. The Marconi company has thirty stations on the west coast of Ireland and Scotland and an cqual number around the central works at Gaspe Bay. Godfrey Isaacs, the London manng tg director overscas, has sent special structions to facilitate, in every pos ble way. the development of thc ;rial service to passing aeroplanes. "We have the situation throughly in hand now," said Mr. Robb to-day. "We have taken every precaution, so the risk to the aviators will be con eiderably modificd. Through steamships j on the ocean and land stations we will j be in touch with them all the way. ?'The aeroplane will have the wire- j Jess telephone and telegraph sets. The ship will have tho wireless telegraph sots, enabling the aviators to rcceive news as to fog and weather and also be told whore their exact landing place is. Newfoundland Is a splendld wire? less base, an<" the government there is eooperating with us." The British government has rcmoved the ban of secrecy regarding tho wire? less telephone. In the first week of 1918, at Pens hurst, the famous aerial listening sta? tion in Kent, the Marconi wireless telephone sets for aeroplanes in flight were perfeeted and sent under the greatest secrecy to the War Office for a two day3' exhibition to the high of? ficials there before being issued for general service to the Royal Air Force. Here the historic sets are to be seen to-day in the workshop at the top of the factory mavked "strictly private" and locked Two small electric bulbs, with four receiving wires on the top and two transmitting at the bottom, made a delicate iron which acts the part of the telephone. That is all. It is merely a tinely adjusted i strument invented by Marconi. Down in the basement, with the two cup receivers on his ears, the listoner heard words read from a book and which came through the several fioors with its whirring ma chincry, clear and bell-like. The words are read from their vibrations tlirough tho noisy building. Demonstrations during the last few days between Newcastle, N. B., and Belmar, N. J., produced satis factory results. Communication has been made also with the Marconi station at Lyons, France. In the headquarters of the Canadian Mar? coni Company, in Montreal, wireless stations on the coast of the United States can be heard over the wire? less telephone, and voices of opera tors thousands of miles away are biing clearly picked up.

With vague misgivings that perhaps a new alliance had been formed of which they knew nothing, the drawsy occupants of benches shook themselves and turned to see what was what. Sub sequent testimony explained it all. "Wilson" was Washington T. Force, who, the police say, uses the name made famous by the President as an auas. Kaiser's first name is George. He is twenty and lives at 6809 Seven teenth Avenue, Brooklyn. Force also is twenty and lives at 2002 Twentieth Avenue. The two youths were ar rested, the police say, after having been trailed for some time. Force was charged with having a revolver and Kaiser with having a set of burglar tools. The former w.is held for the HdJ?y without bail and Kaiser in 5500 bail for Special Sessions.

Caruso, 25 Years In Opera, Honored With Many Gifts State, City, Army and Pub? lic in General Present at Metropolitan; Addresses by O. H. Kahn and Others Enrico Caruso had been in opera a quarter of a century last night at the Metropolitan Opera House. The state, the city, the army and the pub? lic joined the tenor's operatic asso ciates in expressing affcction for the man and admiration of the voice. Scenes from Caruso's favorite operas were given for the benefit of the emergency fund. The auditorium was gay with the colors of Italy and of the United States. The audience was a brilliant one and the uniforms were many. Major General John F. O'Ryan and his staff were among the boxholders. Others were Governor Smith and Mayor Hylan. Tributes to Caruso were paid by Otto H. Kahn, chairman of the Met? ropolitan Opera Company, and by James M. Beck. There was placed on the stage, after the operatic perform? ance, many of the gifts received by Caruso. The Great Scene At the end of the coronation scene from "Le Prophete," which constituted the third act of the performance, there was an intermission of about twenty minutes. Then the curtain rose on the greatest scene of all. The entire company was grouped about a long table, at the centre of which sat Otto H. Kahn. Caruso sat at Mr. Kahn's right and Mr. Bock at his left. There was tremendous applause. "As chairman of the Metropolitan Opera Company," said Mr. Mahn when he got an opportunity to speak, "I have the privilege and the very pleas ant task of extending to you on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniver sary of your appearance in opera the warmest felicitations and the most cordial wishes of the board of direc AITTOS?TIRE8?BODIKS?TCBES Saving -?. -. - - ..

QUIGLEY, who is sixty-five years old, asked the po? lice laBt night to help her find her hus band, Thomas, who is seventy-five. Mr. Quigley is a retired contractor. He and his wife live in Newburyport, Mass. They spend their winters in Florida. Thursday night they reached New York on their way home. After visiting several hotels in the neigh borhood of Forty-second Street, Mr. Quigley said he didn't like the looks of I any of them and he guessed they'd just I sit it out in the depot. So they spent the night on a bench in the Grand Central. Yesterday morn? ing they parted. Mr. Quigley said he wanted to get a shave and maybe look around the town a bit and his wife could go and see the sights, too, if she wanted to. He gave her a dollar for carfare and lunch and agreed to meet her at 4 p. m. at the Murray Street pier, whence their boat Bailed. Mrs. Quigley was there, but her hu? band wasn't, though she had the boat searched to make sure. The police di rected her to a Young Women's Chris tian Association hotel and assured her that Mr. Quigley would turn up safe and well. They had their doubts, how ever, as to the safety of a roll of $500 which Mr. Quigley was carrying in his wallet. City Briefs The police have been asked to find Thomas Quigley, a contractor, of Newburyport, MasB., who dlaappeared Friday night just before he was to have taken a boat for his home. He is seventy-seven years. old and had $500 with him.

The American Academy will convene for ita twenty-third annual meeting in New York on May 2 and 3. The discussion of "Problems of International Reconstruction" will occupy the convention this year. Dole gates from every Btate will partieipate. Thus far only a tentative programme, which includes many national figures, has been arranged. Fifty convalescent soldiers participated yesterday in the celebration of the first an niversary of the French Pastry Shop, at 15-17 East Fifty-ninth Street. They were enter tained by S. Sharp, who after they had dlned took them to the Palace Theatre as hia*guests. tors, of the management and of your fellow artists and of expressing our affection toward you, our gratitude to you and our g*eat pride in you. "When offering you the tribute of our admiration it is not the glory of your voice which I have in mind pri marily, though it is the most glorious and perfect voice of a generation, for having heard which posterity will envy us. One can admire a voice without admiring the man. But in your case we admire the voice, the art and the man." Some of the Gifts Mr. Kahn then gave Mr. Caruso gifts which were lying on the table. They included a gold medal from the man? agement of the Metropolitan Opera Company, an Italian silver vase, twenty-four inches high, from the board of directors; a silver loving cup from the chorus, a silver floral vase from the orchestra, illuminated parch ments from the administrative staff, the chiefs of the stage departnient, the directors of the Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate Company, the directors of the Philadelphia Opera Company and the directors of the Brooklyn Academy of Music; a gold medal from the chiefs of the stage department; a platinum watch, ornamented with diamonds and sapphires, from the artists of the com? pany, and a number of gifts from in timate friends. Mr. Beck prophesied a renaissance in art as one of the results of the war and pointed out that not only had Caruao's glory endured for a quarter of a century, but it had permeated to the furthest outlands of art. The Flag of the City Commissioner Enright then gave Caruso a silken flag of New York City which was the city's token of appre ciation to the singer, and Caruso came forward, his face alight. The house rose to greet him and broke out into such applause that it was several min utes before Caruso could make him self heard. "My heart is beating so hard with the emotion that I feel, he said, "that I am afraid I cannot even put a few words together, I can only thank you and beg you to accept my Bincerest and most heartfelt gratitude for to-night and for all the very many kindnesses which you have showered upon me." Once more the storm of applause broke, to be lulled only when the or? chestra struck up the Italian national anthem.

Langhorne Tenants To Fight Rent Raise Residents in Riverside Drive Apartment Appeal to Assistant District Attorney Lloyd B. Willis, former secretary to Governor Charles S. Whitman, presi? dent of the tenants' association, which is fighting raised rentals in the Lang? horne, 860 Riverside Drive, laid the tenants' side of the dispute before As? sistant District Attorney Alfred J. Tal ley yesterday. Henry S. Miller, of the firm of Newmark and Miller, counsel for the tenants, aceompanied Mr. Wil lis. Following a foreclosure sale of the Langhorne, its occupants, most of whom hold three year leases, received notices that their rents would increase from 40 to 63 per cent April 1, and that they must sign at the new prices or leave. The raise was based on an amended judgment of the Supreme Court, holding that the foreclosure sale cancelled existing leases. The tenants claim that the sale was not in good faith and that they had received assurances it would not af fect their leases. They plan, Mr. Mil ler announced, to start civil action in the Supreme Court and at the same time to resist ejectment through in junctions from the Municipal Court. Assistant District Attorney Talley announced yesterday that he had com municated with District Attorney Swann and that the facts in the fore? closure sale would be investigated. There is an undeniable quality of goodness in the distinctive appearance of Liberty design. Its inner goodness is at once revealed by the differ ence in the way the car rides and drives. It is the kind of goodness that makes and keeps friends.
