Chicago, March 17.—Many records
of long distance reception *of music
from radiophone broadcasting stations
by receiving sets using a crystal detec-
tor. have been made during the past
winter, according to reports compiled
here today by an Interested radio ama-
teur. While radio experts say such
reception Is not considered very diffi-
cult. it la accomplished only at night
and with the weather conditions ideal.
The crystal receiving set, it was ex-
plained, requires no batteries for Its
operation aud very few Instruments.
The crystal detector Itself is a simple
device,' using a small piece of galena
crystal—leadore—to change the radio
signal picked up by the aerial or an-
tenna Into recognisable sounds. The
crystal is fastened In a holder, and so
arranged as to be In contact with the
fine copper wire which Is adjustable
over any part of its surface.
Some amateurs have reported re-
ceiving broadcasting stations as far
away as 1,000 miles, while others say
that they have heard stations $00 miles
or less from their listening poets.
Such long distance reception, radio
experts have explained, is done by the
crystal set, alone and without any out-
side assistance from a neighboring set
that usee an audlon tube as a detector.
“Due. to the reports of long distance
receiving with the crystal.’1 one radio
amateur said, “many anxious listeners
have sought to learn how it is accom-
plished. While I cannot point to any
one type of set that will do the work,
I can say that only close adjustments
of the variable Instruments with per
feet weather conditions and the proper
aerial, will bring in the far away sta-
tion. However, aeveral receiver plana
—hookups, In the language fo the ra-
dio fan—have been offered as solving
the problem, but even some amateurs
In this cky*have been able to receive
Schenectady, N. Y., without any espe-
cial apparati.” ,

LEADER OF DEMOCRATS TELLS
WHY ANNOUNCEMENT CAME
AT THIS TIME.
Washington. March 20.—Character-1
ixing Attorney General Daugherty's 1
announcement of Pret'dent Harding’s
candidacy for a second term as onej
which Will have “little or no effect
upon the national political situation In
either party," Chairman Hull of the
Democratic national committee Issued
the following statement:
“The semi-official announcement by
Attorney General Daugherty that Pres-
ident Harding will be a candidate for
renomination Is of small Interest as
news compared with the reasons for
making the announcement at this
time.
“If President Harding had only risen
to the level of an ordinary President
It would have been taken for granted
that the party would nominate
The doubt concerning his renomina-
tion has been raised by the fact that
his administration to date has been
the most conspicuous failure of any In
the twenty-nin national administra-
tions. With this fact confronting
them, the progressive element in the
Republican party as well as conserva-
tives of sound political Judgment long
ago realised that Mr. Harding could
not be re-elected and began to look
for another candidate The failure of
the Harding administration was dem-
onstrated and emphasized by the repu-
diation given it at the polls last Nov-
ember.
“The reactionary supporters of the
President, largely confined to the of-
fice-holding and office-seeking Classes,
evidently realized that If Mr. Harding
was to be renominated something
would have to be done to revive Inter-
est in him wheih was fast waning and
also to suppress those party leaders
who ar erapldly deserting the Harding
cause in search of another candidate.
Hence the announcement of the Hard
lng candidacy by the President’s clos-
est personal friend and most Influen-
tial political adviser, Attorney General
Daugherty. Hence, too, the Presidents
announced purpose of making a speech
making tour of the country,
The announcement of Attorney
General Daugherty will have little or
no effect upon the national political
situation In either party. One of the
outstanding issues in the ^1924 cam-
paign will be the record of omission
and commission of the Harding admin-
istration, whether Mr. Harding heads
the ticket or not On this Issue the
Democratic party Is ready now to go
to bat.”

which. the parole had been granted

el Redwine/ The decision affirmed the

Mr. amf Mrs. H. F. Hanks of Green-
ville, who have been visiting for the
Berlin, March 20.—Whether Ger-
many’s last memorandum on the Ruhr
situation and the reparations question
will prove a useful contribution to
possible early endeavors through third
parties to fore ea breach in the Fran-
co-German Impasse, has so far brought
out only a limited amount of specula
tive discussion in German political and
financial circles.
The memorandum, delivered to Lou-
don and Washington last Friday. .. nile
addressed to the American and British
governments, to Inform them of the
German view of the situation, was In
cidentally intended to be made avail-
able to France and Belgium through
diplomatic circles, It was officially ex-
plained. Official quarters declined to
comment farther except to declrae
that it i/as up to France to create an
atmosphere which would be conducive
to negotiations, and that the memo-
randum could in no wise be regarded
as a formal attempt to obtain the in-
tervention of an Anglo-Saxon power
in the Ruhr situation.
Foreign Minister Baron Von Rosen-
berg has not suffered from lack of
counsel, which Is being showered on
hlm^ from many quarters, semi-dlplo-
matte and otherwise—a circumstance
which Is continually stimulating rum-
ors of impending negotiations.

ularly consulted by Chancellor Cuno

concur in the current interpretation of
the government's position, that no ba-
sis for negotiations can exist until
tangible assurance Is given Germany
that the Ruhr will be definitely freed
from military occupation the instant a
new understanding with respect to
reparations Is reached. Any suggestion
that the occupation be reduced by
zones will be promptly rejected by the
German government, it is declared.
On this point the government has
the complete support of the Reichstag
the Socialists In particularly contend-
ing that even a vestige of the Franco-
Belglan armed control or occupancy
would be a detrimental factor to the
fulfillment of any reparation program.
