S, Now York, May 9.—So great has the public interest in iad'0 tele phony grown during the past year it has become hard fcr the average “wireless fan” to leave home and travel about cn land cr tea without being able to nap the ether with U's instruments and ‘'listen in” to enter tainment programs being sent out by broadcasting stations in various parts of the country. Wirsless operator? aboard thv steamers of the United States Lines ind that the majority of passengers want to continue hearing the con certs sent out from their favorite stations while at sea and hardly wait for the vessel to leave port before inquiring if ttiere is not a radio tele phone receiving set aboard. Find ing out that there is, they besiege the wireless cabin with requests that they be permitted to hear the broad casts. This the operators allow them to do unless they are sending or re ceiving official or business messages 'over the telegraph apparatus when they shut down on the telephone sets The radio telephone apparatus that the “Sparks” as the wireless operators are familiarly called have put up on various passenger vessels of the United States Ij:nes have bee a found capable of receiving broad casted programs when over 2,5!.0 miles away from the port of New York. Some concerts or'ginating ns -far west from New York as Chicago have been heard clearly and ciilinc' ly by vessels in mid-ocean. The radio men of vvhicn there ar ■ three on all the United States I liners are experts at their era:"., but thev all look up to their dean ; Lieut. John !i Irwin, Air Service re serve chief operator on the President Mohroe. Irwin is not only one of the pioneers in the field of radio tele graphy and telephony, having oper ated the first apparatus on a pa senger vessel at sea, but a man-with a unique record acqu rod while en gaged in work of this nature. ■Irwin who is considered one of the be.-t authorities on radio telephony instruction for both professional and air ate ur is remembered in shipping circles as the operator at the Siascon set, Mars., wireless station who re ceived the first “C. Q. D.” message ever cent from a vessel in distress It v.-as Irwin who “took” Jack Binn's now famous distress call from the &-»& Republic in collision and sink ing off Nantucket. Again it was Irwin who was wire less operator on the airship ‘‘Amer: ca” which in October 1910 made cn unsuccessful attempt to cross the Atlantic. During three days the “Ain erica” was in the air, Irwin succeed ed in both sending and receiving ra dio messages the first time a feat of that nature had ever been accom plished. It was by radio that he man aged to direct the steamship Trent to the''rescue of the airship’s crew, when they were forced to land in Mid-Atlantic. The chief operatejr of the Presi dent Monroe also was radio opera tor of the airship “Akron” and owes his life to the fact that while during one of the trial trips it exploded in the air off Atlantic City he was in this city buying new parts for his wireless apparatus. Everyone aboard the “Akron” was killed. From 1911 until the war the Pres ident Monroe’s chief operator ws.s engaged in establishing wireless sta tions on the Pacific coast amkin Al aska. During the war he was an of ficer instructor in the Air Service of the United States later becoming a member of the radio force of the United States Lines. Irwin who is exceedingly popular with passengers on the vessel and ever willing to explain the mysteries of both the radio and telegraph and telephone to them is author of many books on wireless which are known to all students of the- science. 4 AMERICANS ARE IN BRITISH GOLF (By Associated Press) Deal, May 9.—Four of the invad ing American golfers remained in the running as a result of a play in the third round of the British ama teur championship.
