HEART DISEASE KILLS
NOTABLE INVENTOR
Genius Of George Westinghouse
Touched Many Things.

New York, March 14.-George West
inghouse, who invented the airbrake
and through this agency probably
saved more lives than any other man
of the country, died at his home here
of heart disease.
Mr.. Westinghouse death came but
few hours after the public was ad-
vised of his serious illness. The dis
ease manifested itself fifteen months
ago and is believed to have been
brought on by the blow his ventures
suffered in the money stringency of
1907.
His career as an inventor started
when he was but fifteen years old,
when he evolved a rotary engine. Be-
fore he was twenty one he invented
the airbrake, which made huge for
tunes for his hackers.
The genius of Westinghouse touch
ed many things Besides railroading
for more than fifty years he made
many contributions to electrical and
engineering advancement. He found
ed many manufacturing companies
here and abroad and the plants en-
ploy more than $4,000 persons. They
have a capitalization totaling more
than 100000, 900. He was president
of thirty corporations.
In 1885 he succeeding in introduc-
ing the alternating current system for
supplying electric light and power.
He invented many appliances for rail.
road signals, devices for safely and
economically conveying natural gas
over great distances, air springs for
all kinds of motor vehicles and a
geared turbine for propelling ships.
