The station was established : by Fessenden during the same period Marconi was In tho Uni ted States doing experimental work in transatlantic wireless telegraphy.. , While Fessenden and Marconi were not working together, each profited by the other's experiences. Working here, Fessenden de veloped the "Fessenden* key,"' still in use in transmission by the Navy Department, which has been unable to develop a better instrument. The first wireless station in the country, still -operating at the same site, was established by Fessenden at Hatteras. Oth er stations were established 4*t Manteo and at Cape Hatteras.

Disappear-] ance of Amelia Earhart and her i navigator jn the equatorial Pacific | 17 days ago was written off as one of aviation's mysteries to- ! night. " A theory that the 39-year-old' aviatrix and Frederick J. Noonan perished on their 2,570-mile flight from New Guinea to tiny Rowland Island July 2 was advanced by Navy officers. United States Navy ships, some of which had joined the search a few hours after Miss Earhart ra- j dioed a last, confusiug message at ? : 14 p. m. (E. S. T.) July 2. J abandoned their hunt at sunset yesterday and headed homeward. George Palmer Putnam, hus band of the 39-year-old woman i flier, was in geclusion at his Los Angeles h'orin* T>ut his close friend, Paul Mantz. said he was satisfied the Navy had done every- * thing possible. Denies Yacht Report Mantz denied reports that Put- j nam planned to charter a yacht | and search the Howland area of ! the Pacific, in which the Earhart j plane was belie Ved to have come j down. *? "Mr. Putmam." said Mantz, who] was technical adviser to Miss Ear-| hart on her projected around-the world flight, "has not even coiv j sidered such a plan. No one, even if he had ten million dollars to spend, could do a more thorough job than has been done by the Navy." Navy surface and ^aircraft cov ered more than 250,0.00 square miles of ocean and lonely South Sea island groups before quitting the search. The aircraft carrier Lexington, which sent fighting planes over t'housanda of miles of the How land and surrounding area, was ordered to steam for San Diego, the base it left July 5 to join the search. At Los Angeles. Putmam still clung "to the hope that a miracle -may happen" and his -wife "will be returned" from the mid-Pacific wastes in which she disappeared. "Amelia herself. I know, would be tlie' last to give up." Putham said tonight. He added that Miss Earharfc's mother shares his op timism. , TRIP TO MANTEO Farmers Arranging a Two Day Trip to Roanoke Island .4< .

Famous Inventor Passes At Home Guglielmo Marconi Made Wireless Discovery At Age of 21; Rites Friday Rome, July 20. ? A world bound more closely through hia genius tonight mourned the death of the Marquis Guglielmo Marconi, tihe father of wireless. The famous inventor, who was only 21 when he discovered how to telegraph through space, died , early today of heart paralysis in his palace-home in the heart of Rome. He was 63 years old. ? He left unfinished his far-reach- J ing development of the ultra- . short wave, but his. work will be carried on by the group of ex- j pert* who have searched with him in the mysteries of transmission without wires. Marconi, whose wireless mes sages first bridged the Atlantic in 1901, was a frequent visitor to the United States. ?First) of the leaders to pay re spects at the death-bed of the, pioneer was Premier Benito Mus solini, who kissed his forehead. Marconi was to have seen II Duce last night in the Palazzo Venezia, i but a sudden heart attack forced the inventor to cancel the visit.

PreaU lent Roosevelt's* plan to reorgan ize the Supreme Court apparent- a ly foundered today as warring Senate Democrats, chose Senator Alben W. Bai'kley,- 59, of Ken tucky, to restore party harmony. Barkley, reportedly favored \)y the President, defeated Senator Pat^ Harrison, D., Miss., 38 to 37, in 9^dr?m?tjlc race tor the post left vac*ntlby death of Senate MajoityW|iiMlMvXoe T. Robinson. Bub apparently hg seized the helm too late to "(Rve ' the supreme bench enlargement program. Immediately, however, Vice President John N. Garner, a canny navigator tn rough political seas, assumed command of arrive to reunite the party and possibly' achieve judicial reform in the lo*er courts with't'ha aid of the Senators who gave Mr. Roosevelt the most severe .'reversal, of his administration on the supreme' court issue. One of Garnar's first acts- ? af ter Qarkleys one-vote victory was announced and both sides loudly proclaimed harpiony ? was to con- , !er with Senator Burtoh K. Wheel er, D\ Mont., Reader of the opfart bill opposition/ After the confer ence WMel er ?nnounceft that he aud his a41^dk?ents would draft a compromise proposal and submit it to bhe administration' for ap*-? proval. Wheeler's Stand Wheeler told Garner that the opposition had enough, votes t^> pigeoon-hole tlie Robinson court ? bill,* a compromise of the Presi dent's original bill, for this ses sion, and that* his group wotilA. oppose ftny settlement which: Adds any members to the Su preme Court. - Permits administration repris als against Senators' who fought the President's btllT ? * Permits any change in t'he House or in conference between the two houses. These stipulations would vir tually kill the Supreme Court sec tion of the bill. Meanwhile, Barkley and Har rison had luncheon with Mr. Roosevelt and then worked out a legislative progVam which calls for no immediate action on the court issue. The Ser.?.te, due to meet asain tomorrow, will consider the President's veto of a bill extend ing low interest rates on land bank loans, and then proeeed to unobjected bills. Beyond that plans are indefinite. ST.
