SYRACUSE, N. Y., February 1.—New YVork State publishers, at their semi- annual association banquet in Syracuse last night, heard an earnest plea for yational representation for the District cf Columbia from Frederic William Wile, Washington newspaper man and broadeaster. Mr. Wile called for careful studv of the District's “un-American disabilities™ br the Nation at large. He told the editors that Washingtonians are now renewing their fight for political rights before committees of Congress. “We need the sympathy and the sup- port of you people out here in the en- franchised States we seek only what You have always had. we ask no curtail- ment of your privileges, we claim only equality of citizenship with you. “Some day—we hope soon—a consti- tutional amendment to give the District mstional representation will come before Legislature of the Empire State for ation. We trust that meantime this great community will acquaint it- with our wrongs and aid in right- them.” FIREMAN INSTALLS LIGHT.

NEW YORK, February 1.—Olga Petrova, actress, novelist and play- wright, believes that the theory of “vi- brations” offers a plausible scientific basis for “spirit communication.” Mme. Petrova spent several months in Europe last Summer, during which time she conferred with Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other noted exponents of spirit commu- | nication. In explaining her theory, Mme. Petrova drew a parallel between the ripples created in a pool of water by the tossing of a pebble with the vibra- tions set up by the human voice. “Suppose, then,” she said, “some one were to die whom I loved very dearly and between whom and me there had been a deep, tender sympathy and understanding in life. And supposing I wished to ‘communicate’ with the ‘spirit’ of that person. “T would know in the first place that this person was not in the last analysis ‘dead,’ for the energy created in space by his ‘life force’ while he existed in the flesh would still be alive, would still be vibrating, would still be suscep- tible of perception. “And certainly this would be a part of him. And for me this would be his ‘spirit’ and I believe it not altogether implausible that I could receive and understand impressions or messages Newly Invented Process Success- fully Tested in Newark—Only Four Minutes for Broadcast.

J, & photo- | graph of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was developed in a New York office. ‘The picture sounds were first trans- mitted to the phonograph record in a similar manner to that in which WEAF last week broadcast the photo of Mayor James'J. Walker, and the sounds were then broadcast in the reg- ular menner. The broadcasting re-| quired three minutes and it took one minute to develop the picture at New York. 1 The inventlon, known as the “Ray- | Foto,” is the wo.k of Austin G. Cooley of Seattle.
