THE EVENING 87TAR, WASHINGTON . D €. MONDAY, MARCH 4, - HRE DEPARTMENT WOMAN ANDCHLD HIP SINGS OBSERVE READYFORACTION Extraordinary Precautions! Are Taken to Cope With Any Emergencies. ‘With all leave canceled and every man not sick on duty, the Fire Depart- | ment is taking extraordinary precau- tions to insure quick and effective work in case of any fire that might break out and mar the inaugural ceremonies today. All of the places where, by reason of new wooden construction of seats, re- viewing stands, etc., an unusual fire hazard may have developed, have been | covered carefully in the department’s plans. Special telephones connect the department’s switchboard at the Dis- trict Building with the two platforms at the Capitol and White House.

JOHNSTON’S COUNSEL DRAWS BATTLE LINES Suspended Oklahoma Governor's Impeachment Trial Is Enter- ing Fourth Week. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.,, March 4 — With the trial which will decide the fate of Henry S. Johnston, suspended ‘Oklahoma governor, entering its fourth ‘week today before the Senate court of impeachment, counsel for Johnston were ready last night to summon all the strength at their command in an ef- fort to tear down the prosecution’s case. Probably the most interesting sessions of the trial were expected with the ap- pearance on the witness stand of John- ston_himself. . Defense attorneys were reported definitely to have decided to call the suspended governor to testify. The trial began on February 11 after the House of Representatives had voted 11 artitles of impeachment against the vernor and the Senate had ordered im suspended from office. After the trial started one of the impeachment leging e governor illegally used the National Guard to thwart an at- tempted impeachment session of the Legislature in December, 1927, was dropped lasi Monday when the prose- cuting House board of managers rested its case. ‘W.

C, an inauguration visitor, was rob- bed of $150 last night by a colored woman after he had given her money for something to eat, he to sixth precinct police. He said that about 11:30, while he was walking along Louisiana avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets, he was approached by the woman, who halted him and begged for “just enough for a sandwich and & cup of coffee.” After she had left he found his pocketbook had been taken and an empty one substituted. A second man last night told of having been robbed. Less than two hours later a colored man and woman were under arrest charged with rob- bery and his money recovered. They ‘were booked as Mary Johnson and Ray- | mond Smith, both of the 400 block of | First street. The man, Charles Edward Johnson of 208 Indiana avenue, said that while within a block of the station house on E street near New Jersey avenue he was halted by the pair, who forced him to l;lnd over $56 in bills. No gun was used. INDIAN BAND WILL PLAY FOR ALL STATES BALL Short Symphonic Concert to Be| Given During Intermission at City Club Event.

Radio’s First Thrill. ‘The first thrill that I got from the radio was when I was aboard the cruiser Minneapolis. The Navy had installed a crystal receiving set, and the first night there was considerable ex- citement when word spread that we were to receive nmews dispatches from shore. Every night while at sea men would congregate in the radio room to get these reports first Land. The news | received would spread quickly through- | out the ship. Introduction of this novelty created considerable excitement. Frequently messages written on radiogram sheets would be found lying in different parts of the ship. These messages would sometimes say that we were to head for a different port or that we would turn about and start at once for home instead of following the original itin- erary. These reports, of course, were er- roneous and were dropped on the decks with the idea of creating a sensation. | It was not long before the hoax was discovered. The captain of the vessel then issued an order saying that any one writing a false report or spreading rumors purporting to come from the radio room would be severely punished. Personal messages were accepted for transmission in the early days about 1905, but there was never any guaran- tee of delivery. Frequently it was nec- essary to hold these messages until the scribes accordingly.

It was ol “Every night men would congregate to get these reporis.” Another thrill experienced with radio occurred when I was chief officer of the America, in 1921. Experiments were being conducted in wireless telephony between the America and shore stations. ‘The America was 450 miles off the coast, approaching New York, when Capt. William Rind and I and several others talked to a number of persons ashore. This was really a thrill. The America was in_a heavy sea. The men with whom I spoke, some of whose voices I easily recognized, were sitting in of- fices or in their living rooms at home and told us how comfortable they were and how pleasing the weather was. At sea it was terribly cold and the ship was making only light headway because the sea was heavy. Conversa- tions were conducted from the radio room of the America into ordinary tel- ephones and were transmitted by ‘air to Deal, N. J, where there was a re- ceiving station. The voice was carried by land wire to the home of the re- celver. This scheme proved practical, but I have since been informed that because of the heavy expense involved it could not be further developed so as to re- duce the cost of the conversations. However, this will come after a while as a matter of course, so that it will be possible for you to sit in the state- room of your ship, pick up the receiver and call your home or friends in al- most any part of the world.
