U.S.T0QUIZMAN
WHO OUTWITS CENSOR
Dr. Kitsee, of Philadelphia,
Who Sold Device to Ger
many, Told Not to Talk.
Investigation by tho Department of Jus
tice of reports that tho Sayvlllo station
of the Telefunken Wireless Company is
using a secret device to send military In
formation to Germany without tho knowl
edge of tho United States censor prob
ably will lead to the llttlo alley court,
known ns Walnut place, opening oft "Wal
nut street below- th, in which the ap-
Ipllanco was Invented and where an agent
of tho German Government inspected It
with Dr. Isodoro Kitsee, the Inventor.
Doctor Kitsee was cautioned by tele
phone from New York this,, morning
against further discussion of the situa
tion that grew out of the disappearance
of his appliance until Government agents
have had a talk with him. Doctor Kitsee
said today he will tell tho whole Btory
to the official Investigators when they
call on him.
It developed today that preliminaries
for tho transfer of tho Invention to the
German Government were worked out
between Doctor Kitseo and an agent of
tho Kaiser In the rear room of tho doc
tor's offlce at 103 "Walnut place. Later
Doctor Kitsee turned over the Invention
to a friend whom he empowered to com
plete the transfer, and from him, ac
cording to reports In Washington, the
German Government agents obtained the
appliance without paying for it. Doctor
Kitsee was to have had 50,000 as his
share ln the1 Invention.
ille explained further today the manner
ln which Government censors could be
tricked and military information smug
gled out of the country on wireless out
fits equipped with his Invention.
It developed that not only Is it impos
sible for outside stations to "tuno ln"
and pick up tho message when the de
vice Is used, but even the censor, sta
tioned at the elbow of the operator send
ing at Sayvllle, could not learn the true
meaning of apparently Innocent commer
cial messages.
"Suppose I am the censor," said Doc
tor Kitsee, "and Mr. Rlttenhouse, my as
sistant. Is the operator. He may Bay, 'I
want to send a message to Berlin ask
ing a physician there to come to this
country.' lie may even ask me- to write
the message In my own way, and I.
as censor, having framed what I believe
is a message saying only one thing, turn
It over to him and watch beside him
while he sends it. As censor I know the
wireless alphabet, and I hear that mes
sage go out Into space, exactly as I
wrote It. Very good, I think; but with
my Invention that apparently Innocent
message may mean that a British ship
laden with arms has sailed from New
York and will reach the war zone on a
certain day," ,
Resists Back Pay for Reinstated Cops
Payment of $22,000 to 14 policemen, re
Instated on the force after they had been
convicted and exonerated of charges ln
successive trials before the police board,
Is being resisted by City Solicitor Ilyan.
The Supreme Court recently ordered the
Civil Service Commission to reinstate
Hugh Gallagher, one pf the policemen
formerly under fire. Counsel for the
police are endeavoring to prove that all
men suspended from the force and later
reinstated are entitled to pay from the
city during the interval of suspension,
even though It Is asserted a number ot
them were employed elsewhere during
that period. Councils appropriated
122,000 to provide the "back pay." The
application to the courts at present by
attorneys of the policemen Is for a man
damus to compel Director Porter, ot the
Department of Publio Safety, to pay the
men.
Mother ReprovedforSuIcide Attempt
iIa8lstrateJJ8cott" reproved "the"mother
of seven children in the Front and Mas
ter streets station today for attempting
to take her life. He told her It was her
4uty to live so that she might protect and
rear her children to be useful citizens.
The Woman was Mrs. Emma Loclthart,
13J6 Lee street. Yesterday she drank
poison and was taken to Bt. Mary's Hos
pital. She was discharged today and had
a hearing in the police station. She told
the Magistrate she had the toothache
and that to relieve the pain she drank
the liniment.
Woman Defies Men to Plant Pole
Workmen of the Philadelphia Bleetrlo
Company Aug a, bole in front of the home
of Mrs. Laura Flmonette, J7SI Pulaski
avenue, and prepared to plant a pole.
During their temporary absence the
waBtaa placed A board over the hole,
Btvd with an American flag In her hand,
dared the men to' move her. They erected
the pole In front of an adjoining house.

IVM HUTU
viBWhewof' f oT W,
morning at the second day of the 16th
national convention of the Anti-Saloon
League of America was called off because
several of the speakers failed to appear,
and tho attendance was not up to ex
pectations. About 000 delegates had been
registered at noon, and It Is not con
sidered probable now that the figures will
reach the 10,000 mark anticipated.
A movement was started among the
delegates today to Invite Moyor Riddle,
of this city, to deliver an address at
one of the sessions. It Is meeting with
strong opposition, owing to the Mayor's
alleged dcslro for an open town, espe
cially ln view of the meeting of the Clvlo
League last night, at which the Mayor
was the 'principal speaker and at which
pleas were made for more liberal Sunday
laws.
Pronounced criticism of Atlantic City's
police authorities for permitting men and
women to walk through the streets In
bathing suits Is being made In the cor
ridors of tho various hotels where tho
delegates nro staying. Wives of min
isters attending tho convention are espe
cially lndlgnan and it would not be sur
prising If some of the delegates bring
the question to the attention of the con
vention and ask that resolutions be passed
demanding a moro strict observance of
the laws, or perhaps moro stringent laws
One of tho most Interesting addresses
of the several delivered at the morning
session was that of Mrs. Florences D.
Richard, of Columbus, president of tho
Ohio Women's Christian Tcmperanco
"Union. Mrs. Richard Is an ardent suf
raglst. She took occasion to work some
of tho arguments for "tho cause" Into
her speech; In fact. It waa as much suf
f"age as anti-saloon. Tho speaker told
the delegates that the Woman's Chris
tian Tempernnco Union Is tho mother
of the Anti-Saloon League.
"Some of you ask why tho union
doesn't mergo with tho league," she said.
"The answer is that we'ro too intelli
gent. We all have heard of mothers who
went to llva with their sons and finally
wound up In tho poorhouse, and the union
does not .Intend to meet that fate."
A high tribute to tho Rev. Father John
J. Curran, of Wllkes-Barre, Pa., who pre
sided at the morning session, was paid
by Bishop Luther B. Wilson, of New York
city, president ot tho Anti-Saloon League.
Ho eulogized tho famous Pennsylvania
fighter of tho liquor traffic, saying he had
accomplished as much In this line. If not
more, than any other Individual ln tho
country.
It became known today that Booker T.
Washington, the famous negro preacher
and educator, will not appear as a speaker
at the convention Ho paid a hurried visit
to Atlantic City last night, but had to
leave Immediately for New York. Today
he wired the officials of the league that
he did not expect to be able to get back.
The speakers scheduled to make ad
dresses this morning who failed to ap
pear were Dr. T. Alexander Cairns, of
Newark, and John J. Lentz, of Colum
bia, O.
A special feature of the convention to
night will be the showing of a five-reel
allegorical melodrama moving picture, en
titled "Prohibition." The film Is said to
show William Jennings Bryan, former
Secretary of State; Congressman Hobson
and various other celebrities, all ot whom
smllo approvingly for temperance,
ACKLBY STILL AT PIANO.
Benton D. Ackley, former pianist and
music writer for "Billy" Sunday, who
was reported yesterday as having been
dropped from the muslo program of the
convention, appeared at his piano In the
Hippodrome last night He played again
today, and apparently is to continue while
the convention lasts.
Officials of the league deplore any talk
about Ackley's recent promises to ex
pose the methods of the "Billy" Sunday
Evangelistic Committee. They do say,
however, that the liquor interests did
their best to prevent Ackley from appear
ing as pianist for the league.
A little Incident at the Chalfonte, head
quarters for' the convention, this morn
ing, indicates that there may be some
thing to the charge against the liquor
Interests. A man not Known to any ot
the delegates rolled Into the hotel ap
parently considerably the worse for hav
ing satisfied his thirst. While he walked
he wns able to keep his feet, after a
fashion, but when he tried to halt he al
most collapsed. This man told everybody
he could get to listen that he had a
note for Mr. Ackley. He tried to get
some of the delegates to take It and de
liver it to the pianist, but they all re
fused and finally the stranger went
away. A man who followed him around
the corner declares he saw him suddenly
change his gait and ln an instant walk
as though sober.
Pennsylvania Hospital Censured
The Pennsylvania Hospital was severe
ly censured by Coroner William R.
Knight, Jr., today. , In the course of on
Inqueat into tho death of a 10-year-old
boy who had fallen off a wagon. Dr. F.
G. Harrison, of the hospital, testified that
he was unable to determine tho cause ot
death, and that he had performed no au
topsy on the body. He also admitted that
the boy. Wlnlenty Szabllnskl, had been
brought in at 10 o'clock last Wednesday
morning, was discharged, and then re-,
turned to the hospital unconscious at S
o'clock. He died a few minutes later.

WASHINGTON, July --flie arrest ot
Montenegrin army officers In Chicago,
Portland. Ore, nnd New York Tuesday

extensive recruiting scheme, which It
was believed wag being carried on In vio
lation ot American neutrality.
It was hinted that with a "round-up"
of Italians all ortenses of this kind

will be stopped.
Officials explained that Montenegro,
Italy, England ,nnl some ot the other
European countries stand In a different
relation to American laws from Germany
and France, Inasmuch ns French ard
German" reservists nre carried on the
Army rolls at home, and It requires no

A Series of
Eye Talks

Our Next Talk Wed., July Hth
By Joseph C. Ferguson, Jr.
HERE'S one big.
vital truth that
can not be
brought home too
forcibly to every
one subject to
eye strain, and
especially in children
the fact that it is a MEDI
CAL problem and not one
to be trusted to the man
with no medical educa
tion. Quite often eye troubles
originate In various other
parts of tho body.
Why, then, entrust their
care to one who, ln such
cases. Is wholly unqualified
to locate the cause?
You had far better take
the safe method of consult
ing1 an Oculist.
Then, If glasses are nec
essary, have them made by
the optician who confines
his work to the accurate
filling of prescriptions and
who does not attempt to
examine eyes.
