He entered the Naval Academy in 1869. “Among his many honors, Prof. %hmmn received the Copley Medal the Royal Society of England and also was a member of that society and the French Academy.

Hi sturdy constitution stood the strain, however, and he recovered sufficiently to resume experiments in the Summer of 1930, At that time he was relieved of active essional duties and became pro- fessor_ emeritus, taking up his residence in_California. During his long_and active carcer as a scientist, Dr. Michelson held pro- fessorships in nine universities in the United States and Europe, was a mem- ber of a score of sclentific societies, and received honors and degrees from the foremost institutions of learning in the world. When he was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1873, the superin- tendent remarked: “If you'd give less attention to those scientific things and more to your naval gunnery, thers might come a time when you would know enough to be of some use to your country.” Once Prof. Halleck of Columbla said of him: “If we are ever to have in- terplanetary communieation, it will be by means of Michelson's discovery ot light waves. He has obtained the one upit of measyrement that we know to be the same on Mars and on the earth.” WANTED TO LIVE TO BE 100. 5 Great Seientist Found Many Things Left Which Amused Him.

Profession of Law to Draw Boy After He Finishes College. “Jimmy"” Moore, 15-year-old winner in The Star's area of the National Oratorical Contest, isn't going in for polities when he grows up, ‘“because politicians don't make enough money, and I don't care for rabble-rousing, way.” lities is an expensive game, “Jimmy,” whose full name is James Al- fred Moore, pointed out last night, and “only a rich man can afford it." “Take Congressmen, for instance,” he sald. “Members of the House of Rep- resentatives are paid only $10,000 & year, and their social obligations run into real money.

Moore, who maintains offices in the Transportation Building. “When I get through Western,” he sald, “I'll go to the University of Ken- tucky and get an A. B. Then Il probably come back East and go to some good law schcol.” Kentucky is “Jimmy's” native State just as it is the home of the other “Jimmy” Moore—James Raeborn Moore —who, two years ago, won the high school oratorical championship of the United States in the national finals here in Washington Auditorium.

One of the worst moments Western High 8School’s champion orator ever lived occurred a few moments after the contest was ended early Friday after- noon. With several classmates, Jimmy had gone to contest headquarters in The Star Building to “learn who won.” Randolph Leigh, director general of the contest, entered the headquarters office, and, spying the diminutive orator, he jokingly remarked: “There’s the little boy who got last place!” Jimmy'’s face blanched, while his chin dropped somewhere in the vicinity of his collar button. Seeing the effect of his remark, uttered in the belief the lad had been apprised of his vicwl'i‘. had upon the champion, Mr. Leig! quickly continued: “Well—you knew you won, didn't you?” Voice Fails Him. “N—no, sir,” stuttered the boy, whose voice had remained firm in the crucial tests earlier in the day, “A—and I don't believe I did. Did I?” Finally convinced he was victor, Jimmy's face colored again, while his lips parted in the biggest grin a boy his size can display. Jimmy earned the right to partici- pate in the competition by outtalking 11 other students of Western. ‘“And on: of them was a girl, too,” he pointed out. As the best orator in this section he will spend two and a half months tour- ing Europe, with all expenses paid, this Summer. Truck Victim COMPANION ALSO KILLED IN ROAD TRAGEDY.

He made it that for those who | came to study under him. | Prof. Michelson laid the groundwork for the development of Einstein’s thebry | of relativity. He determined the length of the standard meter for all time by converting it into terms of red ray of | cadmium. For nearly 40 years he| headed the physics department of the | University of Chicago. In establishing | the speed of light at 186,284 miles per second he earned the first Nobel prize awarded an American scfentist. Ranked With Newton. Regarded as one of the greatest physicists of all time, Prof. Michelson was ranked by distinguished scientific socleties with Sir Isaac Newton, who first formulated the laws of gravitation, and with Alvert Einsteln, who stated the famous law of relativity. ‘The outstanding characteristic of his work was his insistence upon the most minute accuracy. When, in 1927, he Tenewed his experiments in measuring the speed of light, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey surveyed a distance of 22 miles with an error of less than an inch becapse Prof. Michel- son required that accuracy. His achievements were made possible | by his fertile invention of instruments | largely new in theory. He considered | the interferometer his most noteworthy invention. This device, consisting of two mirrors and two glass plates of ex- actly the same thickness, divides a beam of light into two rays, traveling at right angles to each other. It made possible the determination of the important fact | that the velocity of light is always the | same in all directions, the fundamental basis of Einstzin's theory of relativity. | He degvised a ruling machine that draws belween 10,000 and 30,000 lines per inch on a metal surface, Barly last Summer Prof. Michelson went to California to repeat his experi- ments on the velocity of light. For this purpose a vasuum tube a mile long was construeted, the tube being a pipe line 8 feet in diameter. Under these condi- tions the figure obtained would be al- most exact, for the slight corrections necessary for varying temperatures such as exist in the air between two moun- tain peaks, and for moisture content in 'the air, would not be required. Only the final recheck now remains, He thought he might retire when the last experiment in calcylating light speed was accomplished. “But I don’t know. It seems I've been saying that for years. And science, you his eyes always twinkling in colning know, is a lot of fun.” SR TS BAD MONEY IS SEIZED HAVANA, May 9 (®).—Government suthorities today announced the seizure of a large quantity of counterfeit American and Cuban eoins and the ar- rest of Antonio Rigeuiro Saavedra, be- | lieved to be the head of a counterfeft- mglfln(. | avedra was ordered held in jail while operatives continued their search BRIAND DELAYING CANDIDAGY AVOWAL “|Awaits Popular Call From Majority Parties to Presidency. o BY JOSEPH E.

CLEARWATER, Fla, May 9—Con- tinuing their efforts to stamp out law- lessness in Pinellas County, authorities today arrested Webb Hill, chief of po- lice at Tarpon Springs, on charges of extortion. He was named in three indictments returned by a county grand jury that yesterday presented true bills against six men and a woman in connection with the recent flogging of R. W. Ox~ ford of St. Petersburg. Bond in Hill's case was set at $5,000 on each charge. Numerous witnesses from Tarpon Springs presented evi- dence to the grand jury. The indictments specifically charged that Hill unlawfully and maliclously threatened to accuse an unnamed wit- ness of the commission of “home crime punishable by imprisonment, of & more particular description to the grand jurors unknown,” with intent to extort money. Exti’:runn indictments also were re- turned against Nick and John Sagonias, eald by authorities to have been #s- sociated with HUl in the alleged ex- tortions. o SIX KILLED IN WRECK All Stealing Ride Freight in Kansas.

The Federal Trade Commission ‘Wednesday begins an expose of the ex- tensive holdings of the North American Co. of New York, but there is little | likelihood that its Washington inter- ests will figure prominently in the case. The North American, a gigantic pub- lic utilities holding corporation, owns a small amount of stock in the Cap- ital Traction Co. and controls the Washington Railway & Electric Co, which, in turn, owns the Potomac Electric Power Co. The ccmmission, however, is not expected to bring these holdings directly into the proceedings, beeause the power trust investigation it was authorized to make by a Senate resolution in 1928 limits the scope of the inquiry to gas and power utilities.

HOOVER GONFERS ON ARMY EXPENGE Study at Fishing Camp Ex- pected to Bring Reduction in War Budget. By the Assoclated Press. ORANGE, Va., May 9.—The activities of the White House were transferred today to President Hoover's Rapidan fishing camp. Leaving the White House early in the morning, President Hoover brought with him Secretary of War Hurley, Assistant Secretary Payne and Chair- man Wood of the House Appropriations Committee with a view to conferring on possihle avenues of saving in the ‘War Department. Shortly after arriving at his camp, the President called the War Depart- ment officials to his cabin and asked them to confer among themselves dur- ing the morning and report back to him at another conference in the after- noon. Works on Speech, Leaving them in his cabin, the Chlef Executive went out under a tree and worked on his Memorial day speech. After luncheon, he reassemiled the ‘War Depaxtment group and began a personal study of the problems of that branch of the Government. The President and Secretary Hurley are hopeful they can find some way of reducing the War Department budget, particularly funds spent for military activities. It was said at the White House before the President departed there was no intention of curtailing &I‘h"c works under the supervision of department. While the officials were conferring, their wives took hikes in the moun- tains or fished in the nearby Rapidan, Mrs. Hoover, however, busied herself about the camp. » Others in Party.

After a two-hour discussion, the’l President and the War Department officials reached a conclusion that a number of economies could be affected in the department, along with some rovement in service. he conferences were continued to- night and are to be resumed in Wash- ington early next week. The results probably will be made public later in the week. The Chief Executive got in about a half hour's fishing in the course of the afternoon.
