Aa distinctly as tho reporters who sat In
front of him could hear, so could tho
itenographera In the evbkino LEDOEn
0dlce, for the President's words were'belng
carried over tho wlro of tho dictograph
right Into tho fourth floor rooms of the
IipoBit ofllccs.
tx great deal of tho credit for the triumph
ai what was practically Instantaneous re
"' 6rtlitg, Is duo the General Acoustic Corn
piny, of N05V York, which Installed tho
dictograph.
.The arrangements for tho Instrument
were made shortly before noon yesterday,
and Joseph Stern, chief Installer for tho
company, with Philadelphia oinces at 1008
Commonwealth Building, had everything
Te-Ss wcro made by several men, and tho
case with which they were heard In tho
EvpNlNO LEDtinn olllca gave certain as
turance that when tho president spoko his
finely modulated voice and perfect enuncia
tion would carry as easily Into tho editorial
room as It would to the reporters Immedi
ately below him.
This was borno out In fact, Tho advertis
ing mon wore full of praise for tho enter
prise with which tho Evenino Ledoeix
handled tho coming of President Wilson.
They Bald It was right In keeping with the
progressive spirit of tho convention. Many
were amazod.
"VERY, VERY WONDERFUL."
W. W Crlbben, of tho San Francisco
CHronlclo and president of tho Pacific Coast
Advertising Association, praised the dicto
graph service. Jlr. Crlbben, who Inspected
the. Ledger buildings and saw; tho dicto
graph In use, exclaimed, "Very! very won
derful This Is a most extraordinary stunt
Trifl Idea Is 100 por cent. good. Tho Evej;.
jo Ledoer has my congratulations."
Many of tho convention delegates who
had heard tho President's nddress wcro
greeted with Evening Ledgers containing
his. speech as they entered tho lobbies of
their hotels a few minutes aftor tho closing
of) tho exercises In Independence Square.
One of tho most surprised readers was
Brom Ridley, business manager of tho New
Orjeans Dally News. When he learned of
the success of tho dictograph as a reportor,
hNsald, "That wns a splendid thought. I'll
remember It for future uso. I am Impressed
with tho progresslveness of the Evening.
XJSDOER."
. ENGLISH VISITOR PLEASED.
Xeo Schcff, special commissioner of the
London' Graphic, an Illustrated weekly,
when told of tho now method of news
service, said It was another example of
American efficiency. '
'Robert S. Coryell, president of tho To
Knto Advertising Club, and Wlllam Mix,
th tall delegate from El Paso, Texas
both expressed their approval of the rapid
lerUce,
Henry J. Fries, representing the Erie
Evening Times, said; "It was great work.
I got your" paper as I was leaving the
Square and tho speed and accuracy amazed
Be."
Daniel M. Chambllss, president of the
Knoxvllle (Tenn.) Advertising Club, said
before his departure today:
The use of the dictograph by tho Even
ing, Ledoeh In reporting President Wilson's
address was an instance of remarkable en
terprise, It has established a now precedent
In speed for tho reporting of speeches of
big mon. I believe that It will have a tre
mendous Influence on tho newspaper world.
'The dictograph Incident did not sur
prise me much, however, for It was to be
expected from a newspaper of the Evening;
Ledoer's enterprise. Tho mannor In which
th)s newspaper handled the convention,
from start to finish, way 1 cause of wonder
"Tnent, even on the part of dolegates who
are familiar with the speed of modern
newspapers."
J. L.-Bowles, 'secretary of the Knoxvllle
Club, was also enthusiastic in his praise
of 'the Idea and tho way It was carried
OUtr
"A masterly achievement and one worthy
of praise," said Charjes J. Weer, of the
Anderson Herald.
"H marks a new epoch In dally Journal
ism and worjhy of what I have noticed
about the Evenino LEDOEn," said R. Lynn
Baker, of Shreveport, La.
"It was truly a splendid thing to do and
s real tribute to tho ad men themselves,"
said Frank, J. McGrann, of' the Guaranty
Trust Company, New York city.
"A fact characteristic of one of the coun
try's progressive newspapers one bound to
bring results," was the comment of John
L. Ebaugh, business manager of the New
Orleans Times-Picayune.
"That's a record breaker," declared a
number of the ad men from Virginia.
"That denies all the dope we've heard
boiit Phllly being slow," said those from
Cincinnati.
"Having the news served out while you
wait Is a good Idea,'! declared the adsters
from St. Louis.
The transmitter and the wires strung
from It attracted considerable attention In
Independence Square.
MaYiy were of the opinion that It was a
long-dlsfance telephone, bo that the Presl
dent could keep In touch with the situation
In Washington while he was talking to the
4 men at Liberty's Shrine.
Others of the wise sort said it was a new
Invention so that the Cabinet In Washing
ton could hear the President speak, no mat
ter whej-e he went
On being Informed that- It was simply a
new system of getting news right off the reel
there was general amazement.
In the ordinary rule In reporting such an
occasion fhe men who do the work polish
up where th,ey are unable to get the com
plete remark and trust to their faithful re
production of the Idea to da justice to the
text. In this case, though, that did not
happen.
The Eveninq LEDOEn story, as put to
gether through the aid of the dictograph,
as faithful down to the last comma just
ma President said It.

$750,000,000 FOR U.S.
MILITARY PLANS THIS
YEAR; VAST INCREASE
Jump From Usual Appropria
tion of Quarter Billion War
Stamp Tax Will Not
Be Repealed
$280,000,000 FOR ARMY
WASHINGTON, Juno 30. From the
usual quarter billion dollars, military ap
propriations, this session of Congress will
mount from thrco-nfths to thrco-fourth3 of
a billion, Congressmen estimated today as
the Army bill, last of tho groat measures,
neared completion.
Loading expenditures, as compared with
previous largest appropriations, nre:
Navy, MH,3B7,33: $140,763,683 (1808).
Army, $280,000,000 ; $101,974,105 (1808).
Forts. $25,120,110; $9,617,111 (1808).
Armor plate plant, $20,000,000.
Deficiency act, $27,569,348.
Totals. $G57,066.80i; $201,254,899 (1898).
This yenr's Army bill Is not yet com
pleted, but tho figures given are those es
timated by committee members who are
drafting tho measure.
In addition, there are many minor bills
which have passed separately. These prob
ably will easily total $10,000,000. Tho
pension act for this year calls for $158.
000,000 $6,000,000 less than last year's
figures.
Preparedness leaders say the tremendous
Increases of thH yoar are duo largely to
Congressional neglect of appropriations In
previous sessions. Tart of the extra cost,
too, Is declared to be due toithe Mexican
situation.
The Administration has decided to pay
the whole bill from current oxpenses, rely
ing on vast Increases In tho Income tax and
tho Imposition of munitions and Inhorltance
taxes.
Tho proposed bond Issue wlilkh House
Leader Kltchln favored, to pay Mexican
bills, is definitely dropped nt the request of
tho President.
HEAVY EXPENDITURES AHEAD.
The plan of administration leaders to re
peal a portion of the war stamp tax Julv 1
has been abandoned. The unlooked-for de
velopment In tho Mexican situation, promis
ing a need for heavy expenditures In tho
next year or two, aro responsible for tho
change in plan, It was said nt Secretary
McAdoo's odlce. It was asserted, however,
that tho tax act which expires by limita
tion December 31 will not be re-cnactod
The Administration leaders had planned
to take the stamp tax off .deeds, notes, stoclc
certificates, wines, tobacco, theatres, bank
ers and brokers nnd Cosmetics and per
fumery, by repealing a portion of the
emergency revenue bill. So much revenue
would havo to be sacrificed that the Treas
ury cannot afford to carry out the plan, It
Is said now.
RED CROSS AID URGED
AS DUTY ON "FOURTH"
Ambler Suggests One Dollar
Contributions as Means of
Expressing Patriotism
Charles A. Ambler, chairman of the In
dependence Day Celebration Commission,
today suggested that the best way to cele
brate Independence Pay this year Is by
each patriotic citizen giving $1 to the
American Rod Cross, either at national
headquarters in Washington, or at any
local chapter In Pennsylvania.
This will be our best token ot appre
ciation, of admiration and solicitude for our
honored soldiers of today." he declares.
An effort Is being made to set a Red
Cross enrollment of 1,000.000. In the last
few months 100,000 new members have
been added. One dollar entitles the donor
to membership.
The Independence Pay Celebration Com
mission has in charge the celebration of
Fourth of July at Valley Forge In honor
of Revolutionary soldiers. Mr. Ambler
thinks the best way to remember the war
riors of '1776 Is by giving aid to the c It teen
soldiers of Pennsylvania who are mobilized
for possible war 140 years afterward.
Chairman Ambler's statement follow
The citizen-soldiers of Pennsylvania are

CONVENTION FACILITIES
ATLANTIC CITY, June 30. Co-operation
In noteldom, no less than In other lines
of business, nnd Atlantic City's astonishing
growth, both ns a pleasure resort nnd u
convention centre, were themes last night
of addresses nt the prosperity dinner given
by hotelmcn In honor of hotelmcn.
Tho guests were Joel Hlllman, leasee;
Charles H. Myer, owner, and Arnold S
Ilukeyser. manager of the Hotel Breakers
nnd .Vewlln Haines, president of the Newlln
Itnlnes Company, owners of tho Hotel St.
Charles. The dinner colebrated the com
pletion of fireproof fronts for tho two Iior
telrles, which represent an Investment of
nearly $1,200,000.
It Is believed to have been tho highest
dinner over Berved on the Atlantic scabonrd,
for 200 hotelmen, repreientlng three States,
dined and heard promises of greater things
for Atlantic City In a handsome whlto audi
torium 12 stories above tho crowds parading
the Ilonrdwalk.
Mayor Dacharach, In bespeaking tho
city's appreciation of" the enterprise of the
guests of honor, proposed tho Immediate
creation of an Entertainment Commission,
to be financed by tho resort, to take charge
of advancing the resort's Interests as a con
vention city.
Stress wns laid upon the fact that At
lantic City possessed convention focllltlcs
for the largest bodies that meet In tho
country, national pollt cul conventions ex
ceptod. Tho new roofgarden of tho Break
ers ndds another large meeting hnll, with
a seat-ng capacity for 1000 delegates. The
enlarged convention hall of tho St. Charles
will seat nenily. If not quite, ns many.
Every large hotel on the ocean front has
convention fnctl.tlos, nnd tentative plans
for tho proposed Hotel Trnymore nnncx pro
vide for n convention hall to sent 3000.
Walter J. tltizby, owner ot tho Hotel
Dennis, pictured tho growth of Bhoro hotels
from small boarding houses to magnificent
bkyscrapcrs In conveying the good wishes
of tho hotel Interests of tho resort. He
attributed Atlantic C.ty's wonderful de
velopment to the fact that hotel men had
been stnnch friends ns well as-compctltors,
and always had stood together for tho com
mon cause.
"Tho years 1915-101C have been notable
Indeed for Atlantic City," ho said "During
a great part of this period, when general
business was badly shaken by uncertainty,
there havo been brought Into being three
vplcndid hotels, costing some millions of
dollars, and which nre unequaled In any
resort In tho world tho Traymore, the St.
Charles nnd the Breakers. In the erection
of these two latOBt hotels tho centre of
Atlantic City now stands from New Jersey
avenue to Michigan, nnd the hotel district
from tho Inlet to Albany avenue. Is It any
wonder people come to Atlantic City when
they can find hotels like these, so splen
didly built, so modern In equipment, with
everything new and novel nnd up to the
minute In every respect?
"All hall to such men as Edwin Roberts,
if the Shelburne ! Joseph II. Borton, of tho
Dennis : tho elder Mr. Hemsley, of tho
Brighton; Ellslm Roberts, of the Chalfonto;
IMwin I.lpplncott. of Haddon Hnll; Charles
Evans, of the Seaside, and a few years
later, Walter Green, of the Traymore, and
Joslnh White, of the Luray, Wo are happy.
Indeed, to have with us one of tho earliest
of these pioneers. Charles Evans, who estab
lished the Seaside In 1868 una was Its owner
and proprietor for 40 years. Mr. Evnns
btlll Is halo and hearty; is president of the
strongest bank In New Jersey, which ho
established .15 years ago, and has held
tho position of president slnco Its organiza
tion. "The erection of tho Mnrlborough-BIen-helm.
the Traymore, tho St. Charles and
tho Breakers Indicates that we havo sons
who are worthy of their sires. With this
splendid start, and situated as wo are, with
the Atlantic Ocean on one side of us and
10,000,000 people residing within 200 miles
on the other side of us. If wo do not havo
success It will be entirely our own fault
William M. Bunn, president of tho Clover
Club, and James S, McCartney, manager of
the Hotel Majestic, spoke for the clubmen
nnd hotel men of Philadelphia, and Joseph
Bonslnger. of Dubois, Pa., for the hotel
men of Pennsylvania. John McGlynn came
from Troy, N. Y., to bring the congratula
