MATHEMATICAL GENIUS DEAD
Reuben Field Ends His Days in Aims
house.

Kansas City, Nov 29.-Reuben
Field, whose phenomenal powers as a
rapid calculator have puzzled expert
mathematicians, died of apoplexy at
the Jackson county farm, where he
had been cared for since 1907. He
vas seventy years old.
Apparently without ambition and al
ways dependent on others he regard
ed arithmetical powers as a gift of
God. He was unable to read or write.
Given the distance by rail between
two cities and the dimensions of a
car wheel he would tell an inQuisitor
how many revolutions of the wheel
would be required to cover the dis
tance almost before the statement OF
the problem was complete.

CONFERENCE STILL
HAS DIFFICULT TASK
Location Of Regional Reserve
Banks Unsettled.

Washington, Nov 29.-Location of
regional reserve banks to be estab.
lished by the new currency bill be-
came matter of pressing Importance
when the Democratic conference re-
sumed work. The insistence of Sen
ators Smith and Bacon of Georgia
that the territory tributary to Atlanta
would not do business with a region
al bank at New Orleans may force
the conference to outline districts
and locations for the banks. While
the administration bill proposes eight
regional banks the conference may
finally increase them to ten. The
bill that passed the house provided
twelve.
Republican senators probably will
not take up the currency bill as a
party measure. Leaders said that
they had no plans for Republican
conference.
