Charles P, Steinmetz.
Germany might have had him as
part of her productive capital. But
she didn't want him. In fact, the Ger
man police chased him out of the
country-just because he was writ
ing Socialstic articles. So he came
to American Insignificant immi-
grant, without money, and of little
value physically, because he was
nearly dwarf. Charles P. Steinmetz
is not four. feet tall But he has
giants brain.
Seven years after. he had fled the
German police a poor student, his
wonderful mind had won him the
place of chief expert for the General
Electric Co. Today Charles P. Stein

this city, holds undisputed place as
the man who knows more about cleo
tricity than anyone else in America.

TIP FOR YOUNG HUSBANDS

The younger man had been com7 plaining that he could not get his wife to mend his clothes.
 T asked her to sew a button on this vest last night and she hasn't touched it." he said. At this the older man assumed the air of a pat riarch
 Never ask a woman to mend any thing" he said. You haven't been married very long and I think I can give you some serviceable sugges- tions When l want shirt mended I take it to my wife and flourish it around little and say, Where's that rag -bag?'

and he gave damaging testimony
 against. Smith as to his suspicious
 movements for some time before the eventful night. He was followed by Colonel Harrison. who was frequent ly questioned by the prisoner Others to give testimony were John Paulding, who had captur- ed Andre, as well as David Will Hams, and the Marquis de Lafayette The latter's testimony seems to have been very annoying to the prisoner, who speaks of him with great bit terness. He delivered his evidence" says Smith, with acrimonious se- verity and malignant bitterness" Then Colonel Hay, at whose house the prisone: was arrested, testified as to the conversation he had ha1l with Smith upon the subject of his arrest. There were several witnesses
 produced by the prisoner, including Major General Howe who testified | that Smith had been in the habit of furnishing intelligence to the Ameri- cans Of the enemy, and that he all ways appeared to be a strong friend of liberty.
 At this stage of Ire rro"eedings, | all the evidence on both sides having 1 been produced. the prisoner request
 ed time to prepare his defence, and several days were allowed him for | that purpose. When the court as
 sembled again he read a long de-
 fence, which occupied quire of pa
 per. Following his address, the court | adjourned, and after holding one
 session for consideration, pronounced
 the following sentence:
 The evidence produced at the trial | leads us to the opinion that Smith did aid and assist Benedict Arnold, yet we do not believe the evidence is sufficient to convict him. It is
 therefore our opinion that the said
 Joshua Smith is not guilty. The de-
 cision of the court seemed in accord
 with the testimony. But the real
 connection of Smith with Arnold has | never been satisfactorily explained.
 At the close Of the war he went to England.
Arizona republican., 1914-03-06

It will be remembered that when Benedict Arnold was about to ac- Complish his treason for the delivery of West Point to the enemy during the Revolutionary War, with Major Andre acting in behalf of the British commander, the meeting of the two officers was held at the house Of Joshua H. Smith. Andre soon after leaving the Smith house, was cap- tured by American soldiers and was executed as a spy, and Arnold only saved himself by escaping to the British lines, and afterwards making his home in foreign land.
 As soon as the treason of Arnold
 became known. the commander-in in chief of the American army took de-
 cisive and energetic measures to as
 certain how far the defection extend ed, and to punish all who had been in any manner cogniZant of the trait .or's designs. It was not long until it was satisfactorily ascertained that no just ground of suspicion could be entertained against any of the Amer ican officers.
 There was one person, however, who had been loud in his professions in favor of the cause of liberty. against whom there were violent suspicious. and this was Joshua II. 1 Smith, who had not only harbored
 tlie spy at his house, but had gone on board the Vulture with Andre. Indeed Andre had on a suit of l Smiths clothes when he was taken | prisoner
 But little doubt was at that time
 entertained that Smith was cogniz- | ant of the whole plot and he was arrested at Fishkll, on the night of l September 9, 17SO. by Colonel Gou- yion, the French officer whom Wash
 ington sent for that purpose He was | conducted under guard to West Point end from that place to Happen where 1 he was kept in confinement till he was tried by q court martial.
 The court martial ordered for the trial of Smith assembled on Septem
 Der @0 17s0. the day after the ex- animation of AndIe, and continued by adjournment about four weeks The judge advocate laid before the court several charges against the prisoner, and produced to them cer- tain resolutions of congress repre- senting the trial of inhabitants
 Smith objected to the legality ol
 propriety of his being tried by |
 military tribunal.
 The court. after consideration, wa:
 of the opinion that it had jurisdiction under the resolution of congress |, try the prisoner upon one of the charge preferred against him, and as to tn three others it had no Jurisdiction The judge advocate then exhibite' the following charge For aidin and assisting Benedict Arnold in combination with the enemy to take kill and seize such of the loyal citi zens an soldiers as were in garriso in West Point. and it's dependencies. To this charge Smith pleaded mo guilty" The first witness to b tried was Samuel Cahoon. who ha rowed back with them to the Vultur l. and brought back with them Majo
 Andre His brother Joseph. who ha been with him on the trip to tn Vulture, was next called upon { give evidence Colonel James Living ston, who was an officer under Ar , hold. was the next to be called upo

PROFESSIONAL HOME MAYER

One of the callings to which educated women may turn to help out their in- comes is that of inventing names for country places. summer homes and bungalows, says the New York Sun. The owners of race horses and show dogs frequently have great difficulty in finding
 satisfactory names for them, and some- | times things of the same embarrassment seems to seize the builders of country seats. It Is by relieving the embarrass- | ment that at least one young woman is I earning substantial pin money.
 | Offband, the naming of ones home may
 seem the simplest matter. But there are
 many considerations to be thought of that
 complicate the problem. How will name sound? Will it be easy and euphonous to pronounce? Will 1t look well at the top
 of ones stationery? Does it suit the style of architecture? Has any nearby estate a similar name?
 1 So many such details have to be con- sidered that some people who want the l right name give up trying to discover | it for themselves and place their little problem in this young woman's hands for | solution.
 My work Is most interesting" she said, in speaking of it recently. Ut in- wolves a good deal of reading, literary 1 research and browsing in libraries, for when I submit a list of names to a pa 1 tron for selection I must give a history of the names suggested. Especially is this what I aim to do with the names of places l famous in history or literature" l While travelling in Europe this girl
 made 1t point to familiarize herself with l the names of famous estates manor
