Will Rogers BEVERLY HILLS.—The Literary Digest loves to straw vote on sub- Jects that everybody is arguing over at the time. Well, here is one that is creating more dust than the one they are voting on now,-so I pro- pose they start a straw vote at once on the following: “Will people vote on prohibition at the polls (where they have to sign their names) the same as they do in a straw vote? Please vote either yes or no." You see the Digest put in a middle vote (the modification plan). Now both the wets and the drys are claiming that vote. So let's get started straw voting on my plan; no confusing planks. SPECIAL NOTICE. TADIES SUITS.

Efficiency Further Shown. A further demonstration of the effi- ciency of the means of communication used by the Associated Press was the fact that by 2:48 p.m., when the mes- sage had reached New York, after twice cireling the globe, cabled or wircless reports had been received in New Yurk from each of the offices giving the re- of the transit of the message through each bureau. Twenty-five separate communication | systems were utilized. The message started from an automatic telegraph typewriter at the general offices of the Associated Press at 383 Madison avenue, Through several miles of underground wires in the streets of | New York, it reached the main cable office of the Western Union at 40 Broad street, where it was copied and re-seni on the direct New York-London cable, which crosses the Atlantic from New- foundland to P:nzance, England, and thence overland to the Western Union London office. It was relayed from there into the Associated Press London office by automatic telegraph type- writer, copied and re-sent by telegraph to the British Marconi, and was radioed to the Associated Press in Madrid, which in turn copied it and filed it with the Spanish government lines to Paris All of the telegraphs in Europe are owned and operated by the various governments, which have international traffic arrangements. 1t reached the Associated Press office in Paris over an automalic telegraph sender from the main government tele- graph office in Paris.

This time | 1t crossed and recrossed the frontiers of | Itely, Austria, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. On its way to Vienna it partly retraced that route and went | through Hungary.

Due to the co-operation of the | | Soviet government telegraph officials, | the Soviet foreign office, Tass, the Rus-, | sian News Agency, and the officials of | {the Great Northern Telegraph Co. | which operates the wires across Russ and Siberia, remarkable tansmission | time of four minutes between Moscow and Peiping, with delivery to the Asso- | | ciated Press office at Peiping, was made To insure this speed the Soviet gov- ! | ernment placed at the Great Northern Telegraph Co.’s disposal for a whole | hour at about the time the message was | to reach Moscow its entire { Moscow-Siberian reserve line over the | thousands of miles intervening between | Moscow and the Mongolian frontier. | | This was done because reports had been received of heavy snowstorms prevailing throughout the entire route and these | had made the wires used by the North- | ern Telegraph Co. unworkable. Thus, | the Soviet government itself was with- out communication to Siberia for a full | hour in order to accommodate the Asso- | | ciated Press and expedite its message. The Great Northern Telegraph Co. car- | ried the message from Peiping to Shang- hai, and, with the aid of the Japanese government lines, delivered it to the utes after it left Moscow, with the two intervening stops. The Japanese gov- ernment lines, jointly with the Com- mercial Cable Co., delivered it to the Manila to Honolulu. From Manila the long jump first -to Honolulu and then to San Francisco ble Co. It reached the Associated Press office in San Francisco three minutes after it left Manila, with a delivery and relay to the Associated Press at Hon- olulu.

Havana rushed it to where it was delivered in two minu! Rio de Janiero received it one minute after it got to Buenos Alres Most Circuitous Route. From Rio de Janeiro to Capetown, South Africa, the message took its most circuitous route of the trip. It went direct to London via the Western Cable Co., a British concern. As no delivery to the Associated Press in London was involved, the Western Cable Co. put it through an instantaneous relay via the Eastern Cable Co., another British con- cern, for Capetown, at the southern tip of the African continent. The electric current for the cable for the long jump was furnished from numerous lonely islands in the North and South Atlantic —one of which was the Island of St. Helena, where Napoleon died. The office of Reuters in Capetown resent it to Reuters’ office at Cairo, and the latter a-ain on_the Eastern Cable, through the Red Sea and under the Arabian Sea delivered it to Reuters’ office at Bombay, which, in_turn, de- livered it to Reuters’ office at Melbourne, the cable being routed through the various islands in the Indian Ocean, and thus into Australia. From Melbourne the message took its final and longest submarine trip via the 6,000-mile cable from Australia Vancouver. This_cable lies across the route of the Mackay radio from Honolulu to San Francisco. The impulse in the core of the British cable at that point thus passed an exact polnt of latitude and longitude, through which an impulse had gone less than a half hour before in the transmission of the same message from Honolulu to San Francisco in its first trip around the world. In that intervening half hour the message had circled the world; visited every sea and every continent on the face of the globe, the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Hemi- spheres. At Vancouver the message was turned over to the Canadian Pacific Telegraphs, which carried it across Canada to Mon- treal and delivered it by the Postal Telegraph Co. to the Associated Press general office in New York. FEAT BRINGS CONGRATULATION. Paper of World’s Largest Circulation Lauds Associated Press. LONDON, April 19 (P).—Congratula- | tions on the success of its world-wide | transmission test was offered the Asso- | ciated Press by the Daily Mail, British newspaper owned by Lord Rothermere. | the daily circulation of which, exceed- ing 2,000,000, is the lergest in the world. In an editorial, the Daily Mail say: he metaphor of the ancient poets which spoke of the progress of rumor as ‘flight’ is long since out of date. Au- thentic news now travels at speeds that leave the swifest birds far behind in comparison. “The Associated Press of America, by y of demonstrating the rapidity with which théy can distribute news through- out the world, succeeded in transmitting a message to 22 important centers, in- cidentally twice circling the globe in 2 hours and 5 minutes, We offer them our hearty congratulation. “When such an achievement is pos- sible, the whole earth may become aware of each new event in its history within the hour. The world is ‘con- scious of itself as never before, and mankind become united in thought, with the growing hope of broader unity in_the future.” The Irish Telegraph, prominent Irish daily, published in Belfast, printed an account of the Associated Press ielay under the following headlines: “Globe twice circled in 125 minutes. Calls galore en route. Marvelous cable feat achieved by United States agency. Tri- umph of organization.” Commenting editorially, the Tele- graph says: ““T'll put a girdle round the earth in 40 minutes,’ said Puck in a Midsummer night’s dream. The Associated Press of America, however, has improved on Shakespearee and all his vision by en- circling the globe twice in 125 minutes with a dozen calls en route. The feat is easily the most wonderful achleve- ment that has ever been accomplished |3 in the history of press telegraphy. It is a striking example of the worldwide ramifications of this great agency and the speed and accuracy with which it transmits its important communications over the habitable globe.” FISHERMEN OF RUSSIA NOW TO BE POOLED Soviet Plan Involving Hundreds of Thousands Follows Strides Made in Grouping Farms. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, April 19—Encouraged by the great strides made in the conver- sion of small farms into state-controlled collective farms, the Russian govern- ment yesterday decided to adopt the same principle with regard to the hun- dreds of thousands of fisherman in the Land of the Soviets.

FLVATOR CRASH PROE I ASKE Bowman Charges Fall With D. A. R. Delegates Aboard Was Suppressed. Representative Bdwman, Republican, West Virginia, in a statement today said that approximately a score of West Virginia women attending the D. A. R. convention here were in an elevator accident at the Washington Hotel Tues- day which had been suppressed. Bowman complained to Col. John W. Oehmann, District building inspector, who advised the Representative that he had started an investigation of the accident. The West Virginian said that he had received a complaint from Mrs. Lena Bowlley and Mrs. Clyde Smith, both of Morgantown, W. Va., over the treatment of the hotel management following the accident. He said they told him that the elevator, carrying 19 women, al- though it had a capacity of 10 persons, fell seven stories to the basement, and hat the only thing that saved the women from serious injury was the fact that they were jammed in the com- partment “The car bounded twice at the bot- | G dd tom,” Bowman said, “and some of the | women became ysterical. One :d them, whose name was not disclosed, fainted and was later taken to a hos- pital, Bowman Charges “Hush-Hush.” “The hush-hush evidently was given to this episode.” Bowman said. He added that in making his complaint to Col. Oehmann he said, “You should see that it is thoroughly investigated to de- termine whether the mechanism was at fault or whether the operafor, the start- er or the hotel management was negli- gent.” Bowman said that he had ascertained from District officials that the hotel | management had made no report of the accident and added, “The apparent de- sire to cover up the accident is coinci- dent with charges made by the women that the hotel failed to render proper medical aid and treatment to the fright- ened and hysterical passengers.” S. E. Bonneville, manager of the ho- tel, said the boy in charge of the ele- vator told him he tried to stop the car at the sixth floor and was not able to The boy told him, he said, that it fell slowly past the first floor, struck the bumpers at the bottom of the pit and bounced twice before coming to a stop. Had the falling elevator gained any great momentum, Mr. Bonneville declared. the automatic safety device | would have stopped it immediately, but | it would not operate if the car was fall- ing at a slow rate of speed. Woman Treated by Physician. He said that a Mrs. John T. Cren- shaw, 65, of Providence, R. I, fell for- ward on her knees as the car struck the bumpers and was slightly injured. She was treated on the scene by Dr. Harry Hurtt, house physician. Mr. Bonneville denied that any one was taken to a hos- pital, or that the delegates became hys- terical. The clevator was occupied at the time by only 12 passengers, he declared, and bas a maximum load limit of 2,250 pounds. After the accident, he said, the elevator was examined by experts, who were unable to find any mechanical defect. Mr. Bonneville said he did not report the incident to the police because he did not know he was supposed to make such a report. - Marathon in Welcome Ceremony.
