NEW SEA LORO IS
BEST OFFICER
LONDON, .Tune 19.—Admiral Sii
Henry Jackson, who has Just sue
ceeiled Lord Fisher as First Sea Ixird
of the British Admiralty, has long
been known here as "the cleverest
man In the navy.” He is the only
naval officer who 1ms been honored
with election as a Fellow of the Royal
Society, this high scientific honor
falling to him In 1901 for his re
searches in electrical physics.
Admiral Jackson was one of the
earliest experimenters in wireless
telegraphy, and was associated for
many years with Mr. Marconi. He is
a specialist also in naval toriiedoes.
He has only once In his career com
manded a group of ships at sea.
Just past 60 years of age, the
new Sen Lord is younger by 14 years
than his predecessor. He entered the
navy in 1868 and at first specialized
in navigation. But the possibilities
of the torpedo, which had only been
invented in a very crude form In 1866,
exercised a fascination over him, nnd
he soon transferred to that branch of
the service.
The only vessel on which he ever
served ns navigating officer wns nn
old battleship, to which was appointed
on the same day a young lieutenant
John Jelllcoe, now commander-ln
chief of the war staff.
Specializing in torpedoes, Admiral
Jackson attained a wide knowledge,
both practical and theoretical, of elec
tricity, for the torpedo officer of a
modern ship is responsible for the effi
ciency of the whole of the electrical
equipment of the vessel. It was in
1891 that the idea of employing Hert
zian waves as a means of communica
tion first suggested Itself to him. At
that time the navy was seeking for
some method by which a torpedo boat
could announce Its approach to a
friendly ship. For four years he con
tained his experiments in wireless
communication. Though the necessi
ties of the service have prevented the
full story of his works being given to
the world ,it is known that at the end
of*that time he had succeeded in send
ing messages from one end of his
ship to the other without wires. About
tills time, he met Marconi, nnd the
two became close friends, mutually
assisting each other In developing
ideas and schemes.
Sir Henry remained responsible for
the progress of wireless telegraphy In
the navy until 1906 when he became a
rear admiral. During these years hit
appointments were such as to facill
tate the experiments nnd research
work which he pursued and which
won him many scientific honors.
He then served for some time ns
Controller of the Navy, being thus
responsible for the material of th<
navy during the laying of the epoch
making battleships Dreadnought and
Invincible. He was one of the foui
captains on the Committee of Desigr
which recommended the constructor
of those ships.
In 1911 he was selected to command
the new Naval War College at Ports
mouth, being transferred after twt
years to the post of Chief of the Wai
Staff. At the beginning of the Euro
pean war he was assigned to specla
work at the Admiralty, his particulai
task being the direction of the nava
part of the operations against Ger
many’s oversea colonies.
He was promoted to be a ful
admiral just a year ago.

ANTI TRUST UHS
FULLY COVER
WASHINGTON, June 19.—Results
of an extensive study of trust laws
and unfair eompetltion were submitted
to President Wilson today in a report
prepared by the old bureau of Corpor
ations for its Informative value to
Congress In enacting legislation. Fed
eral anti-trust laws, Judicial decisions
and their influences upon forms of
business organization are discussed
as are the state laws and those of
foreign countries.
The chief conclusions of the Btudy
that the development of anti trust
legislation and consequent Judicial
decisions have been Important factors
in shaping forms of business organiza
tion and that interpretations of the
Sherman law, especially the more
recent decisions, have demonstrated
Its far reaching effect. Practically no
twilight zone has been left, the report
says which cannot be reached by
state or federal law.
“Although the Sherman anti-trust
law is comprehensive In its scope,”
says the report, “It is not so clearly
established that the Judicial decisions
afford a basis for determining with
exactness the lawfulness, or unlaw
fulness, when taken severally of many
particular devices that have been
used collectively to control the mar
ket. Almost every decision has been
based on a complex set of facts and
the use of a number of different
devices to restrain trade.”
