DUBLIN, Aug. 2 (Associated Press).—The publicity department of the Provisional Government publishes @ letter alleged to have been found in the home of Sean O'Kelly, inviting him to attend a clan convention in the United States on August 7, and in structing him to bring back all aval] able money and also machine gun and revolvers. The invitation 1s declared to have been sent by Joseph McGarrity, of Philadelphia, through the late Harry 3. Boland, former representative in America of the Irish Republic. An indorsement on the letter, apparently by Eamon De Valera, said: ‘Some one must go."' The Government statément adds that the cwn 'mentioned ts a small body which broke away from the Clan-na-Gael, the latter having re- Pudiated the irregulars Callan, the most important centre held by the irregulars in County Kil- kenny, has been occupied by the Na- tionals. It was the most northerly point in the line held by the irregu lars and its evacuation seems to indi- cate that they intend to fall back toward the river Suir. The inhabi tants of Callan cordially welcomed the National troops. In County Donegal the irregulars fare sald to be completely demoralized; some have returned home, while others are wandernig ‘through the country districts and over the moun tains, looting and robbing as they go. One of their most prominent leaders has surrendered to the Nationals. A traveller arriving here from Clon- mel says that the irregulars, alarmed by the Free State advance, began to burn their barracks, but that Eamon De Valera interfered, preventing fur- ther destruction and declaring that he intended to make a stand there. The traveller adds, however, that De ‘Valera is not in supreme command of the Republican forces. ‘The same informant declares that for miles in the vicinity of Cork City the is are mined, and there is “WE WHO CARRY ON GRIEVE,” THAYER WRITES TO WIDOW All Men and Women of Sys- tem Sympathize, President Tell Mrs. Bell.

Former Sinn Fein Envoy to U. 8, Expires in Dublin. DUBLIN, Aug. 2 (Associated Press). —Harry J. Boland, former representa- tive of the Sinn Fein in the United States, died here last night of wounds received Monday in Skerries, a village north of Dublin, while attempting ,to evade capture by troops of the National Army ill CONDOLENCES SENT BY HARDING TO WIDOW WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—President Harding in a message of condolence sent to-day to Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell at Baddeck, N. 8., sald: “The announcement of your eminent hushand’s death comes as a great shock to me. In common with all his countrymen, I had learned to rever him as one of the great benefactors of the race and among the foremost Amer- icans of all generations. He will he mourned and honored by human kind everywhere as one who served It grent- ly, untiringly and unselfishly.” —— CHARLES ROSE DIES IN STREET. Charles Rose, fifty-five, of No, 255 West 90th Street, was stricken at Lib- erty and William Street shortly before noon to-day. He was dead when an ambulance surgeon arrived from Broad Street Hospital. The body was removed to the Old Slip Station. Death is be- lieved to have been due to apoplexy. Mr. Rose at the time was talking to a friend, Jacob Mendelson of No. 164 Weber Street. (Continued from First Page.) invent a musical, or multiple, tele- graph, which eventually turned out to be a telephone. His father, while giving a lecture in Boston, proudly mentioned the son's mutes. ‘This led the Boston Board of Education to offer young Bell $500 to introduce his system in the newly opened school for deaf-mutes. He was then twenty-four years old and in- stantly became the educational sensa- tion of the day, He was appointed a professor in Boston University and opened his instantly — successfu' School of Vocal Physiology. But teaching interfered with his In- venting and he soon gave up all but two pupils. One of these was Mabel Hubbard of a wealthy family, She had lost her bearing and speech in an at- k of scarlet fever while ajbaby. It was she who became Bell's wife. Bell spent the following three years in night work in a cellar in Salem, Mass. His money needs were met by Gardiner G, Hubbard, his future father-in-law, and Thomas Sanders, the owner of the cellar. As he worked he began to see the possibility of con- veying speech over an electrically charged wire—the telephone. He used a dead man's ear for a transmitter. “If I can make a deaf-mute talk,’ Bell had declared, “I can make iron talk.” His first success came while test- ing his instruments in his new quar- ters in Boston. Thomas A. Watson, Bell's asststant, had struck a clock spring at one end of the wire, and Bell was electrified to hear the sound in another room. For forty weeks the instrument struggled, as it weré, for human speech. Then on March 10, 1876, Watson became almost in- sane with joy when he heard over the wire Bell's voice saying: “Mr. Watson, come here, I want you." On his twenty-ninth birthday Bell received his patent. It was at the Centennial Exposition held at Phila- delphia, two months later, where men of science the world over, who had come to examine and study the numerous inventions exhibited, saw Prof. Bell give a practical demonstra- tion of the transmission of the human voice by electricity. As for Bell himself, he had not planned to attend the Centennial. He was poor and he had reorganized his classes in vocal speech. Toward the end of June he went to the station to see Miss Hubbard off for Phila- delphia. She believed he was going; when they reached the station she pleaded with him and was refused DR. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL DEAD, 7°; FAMOUS AS INVENTOR OF TELEPHONE As he put her aboard the train and it moved out, leaving him on the platform, she burst out crying. Bel! dashed after her and sprang aboard the train, without baggage, ticket or any other trifles. The next Sunday afternoon, Bell was promised an inspection of his in- vention by the judges of exhibits. It was a hot day and the judges had seen a great deal. Some of them were for going home; one jeered and there was a general boredom. Then there appeared the blond-bearded Emperor of Brazil, with outstretched hands, He had heard some of Bell's lectures in Boston; the deaf-mute work ap. pealed to him, His greeting made a stir, Bell made ready for his demon stration. A wire had been strung the length of the room. Bell took the transmitter; Dom Pedro placed the receiver to his ear, He started up amazed. “My God—tt talks!"" Afterward, Lord Kelyin—plain Wil- Nam Thompson then—took up the re- ceiver. He was the engineer of the first Atlantic cable. He nodded his head solemnly as he got up. “It does speak,’’ he sald empati- cally, ‘‘It is the most wonderful thing I have seen in America." The judges took turns talking and listening until 10 that night. Next morning the telephone was brought to the judges’ pavilion, It was mobbed by scientists the remainder of the summer. The distinguished inventor was the recipient of many honors in this coun- try and abroad. The French Govern- ment conferred on him the decoration of the Legion of Honor, the French Academy bestowed on him its valuable Volta prize of 50,000 francs, the Socie- ty of Arts in London in 1902 gave him its Albert medal and the University of Wurzburg, Bavaria, made him a Ph. D. One of the curious things about the invention of the telephone {s that Bell knew almost nothing about electricity when he started. He knew a great deal about acoustics, though, and the formation of the human organs of speech and hearing. Bell was called to Washington once when he was in the slough of despond and took the opportunity to call on Prof. Joseph Henry, who knew as much about electricity and the tele- graph as any man then alive. Henry told him he had the germ of a great invention. “But,” said Bell, “I have not got the electrical knowledge that is neces- sary."’ “Get it,” sald Henry. Bell did get some of it—enough. 50 se THIRTY FOURTH STREET t Drastically Reduced Prices! es Final Clearance Fifteen Hundred Summer Cotton Frocks Divided Into Three Groups 6° Which Is Considerably Less Than Half Their Former Prices 50 Imported Gingham, Linen, Plain and Figured Voile, Dotted Swiss, Ratine.

He invented an ingenious method of lithography, a photophone und an induction balance, He invented 1 telephone probe which he used to locate the bullet that killed President Garfield. He spent fifteen years and over $200,000 in testing his famous tetrahedral kite and established a principle in architecture, che use of tetrahedral cells of units, Th ghout his fe Dr, Bell main- tained his interest and labors for deaf- mute He founded, became Prest- dent of and contributed $250,000 to the American Association to Promote Teaching of Speech to the Deaf. He was a member of many of the leading American learned ‘societies, ‘ Dr. Bell's laboratories have Been located, since 1866, near Baddeck, There for many years he conducted research and experiment in aerial lo- comotion and other scientific subjects and maintained his private museum showing the development of his great- est inventions. He encouraged Sam- uel P. Langley to invent the first fly- ing machine, and declared after wit- nessing {ts first flight at Quantico, Va., in 1896, that the age of the air- was at hand, although Lang- ley's machine was destroyed. 1 formed in 1907 the Aerial Experiment Association with head- quarters in Cape Breton and its object to learn to fly. It is claimed that it was with the machines developed by that association that the first really successful public flights of airplanes in America were made, In the World War, Dr. Bell and F. W. Baldwin Invented a boat called a hydrodrome, which developed a speed of seventy miles an hour and was calle © fastest in the world. a Ys eS Ns Raorsk America's Foremost Specialists” OPPENHEIM.CLLINS & C 34th Street — New York Women’s and Misses’ Hand-Made Lingerie Blouses Smartest Tuxedo, Veneck and Peter models of French Batiste, with real Filet Hand-embroidered and Hand-drawn. contrasting i Oa 15 West 42nd Street Brooklyn Shop 498 Fulton Street, Corner of Bond > ‘ = Price By Mail 10 Cents. “The World’s 1922 Summer Resorts Annual And Good Motor Roads Tour Guide 10 Cents at All World Offices Subway and Street Newsstands Address World Summer Resort Bureau, World Building, Parla Row, New York City stripes.
