BALTIMORE, June 2§ —The first movement of nation-wide scope for the purpose of fire prevention was inaugu- 1ated here at a meeting of the New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Vir- ginia regional district, at the opening session of which Gov. Ritchie presided. There was present also E. Lee Trinkle, governor of Virginia, whose state has taken steps along the line of stopping fire waste. The most important step taken was the adoption of a motion, calling for the appointment of two men each from the National Credit Men's A: ation, National Fire Protection As on, National Board of Fire Underwriters and National Association of Insurance Agents to meet in Washington next month and outline a national fire pre- vention campaign. Another suggestion adopted at the meeting was to ask every governor in the Unpiled States to co- SO | operate in the movement and lend his official aid Purpose of Parley. The purpose of Gov. Ritchie in calling the convention was to sescure co-opera- 1 between New York. New Jersey, Virginia_and_ Maryland in fire preven- tion work. John P. Morton, president of the National Board of Fire Under- writers, sald the meeting was epochal in that it marks the first step toward a national movement for fi Gov.

To the Editor of The Star. Don't you think it is about time that the American public. at least. was informed that Marconi developed telegraphy, instead of invented it? Wireless was discovered in 1865 b; Loomis, who patented his idea July 30, 1872 (No. 120,971), which informa- tion can easily be verified Als will note in the New Yor issue of Sunday, June Elihu Thom the possibili in 1875, twelve years before Heinrich i Hertz announced his discoveri f which was previous to M = work. This is part of an interview given in London by Marconi, the balance of which can be read in the Wash- ington Times, June 25 issue: v Signor Marconi (the inventor of ) in an interview—“Appar- much more rapid progress in { wireless telephony has been made in the United States than in the United Kingdom.

But itre- mained for the United States goveri- ment to develop it during the war. Radlo telephony discovery and prog- ress is due only to the United States, the rest of the world is just now awakening on the subject. True, Americans have gone very rapidly, but that is certainly true to But Marconi says we gone too fast, simply because he, like many others, knows practically noth- ing about the radio telephony sub- ject himself and has not been allot- ted a suficiently long time for him to discover anything of real value— you see, Americans work too fast for him. The real reason, I am sure, that Marconi_is here now, if it were knowr, is to find out about our Maj. Armstrong’s new super-regenerative system, which he will disclose in his lecture tomorrow (Wednesday, June 28), and no doubt Marconi will re turn to London and say in an inter- view that he knew that years ago. Yes, England will learn many use- ful lessons from the so-called mis- takes of Americans, but that certain- ly is to be expected—any one that enters a race after it is won should certainly gain some benefit from the experiences of others. If England leads the way, why does Marconi_insist on coming to the {United States to find out what we have done. This is his eighty-first trip, you know. es, Britaln has waited until th, foundations have been laid, but if she leads the way, why is it necessary to wait for the foundations to be laid and the work done before she enters. the fleld? Who is it that laid the foundations and did the work but Americans, as always? arconi’s interviews here are different from those given in %::l;f land. and I fail to see anything hon- orable or square in that system. He would like to take all the glory from Americans and then raps them when he is out of our country. True, coni has done wonderful things of great value, and Americans are the first to give him credit for it, but.radio telephone, the wonder of the age, was discovered and devel- oped in the United States by Ameri- cans, and there is practically nothing remaining to be done but perfection of detail, which gives Marconi or any other forelgner little opportunity for discovering anything of importance.
