:. HoPkINsoN SMITH DEAD
ARTIST, AUTHOR, ENGINEER.
Tales of the South, New York and
New England Won Him Fame.

New York, April IF. Hopkinson
Smith, author and artist, died tonight
at his home here at the age of II
years.
The genius of Francis Hopkinson
Emhti manifested itself in many
branches of activity. His reputation
as an artist was second only to his
fame as an author, while as q prac-
tica1 engineer he won his standing.
Bisteen years after his birth in Ba1tf-
more in 1888 he left school and went
TO work, first as a shipping clerk and
afterwards in q metal industry. Sub
eequently he studied mechanical en-
Eineering and permanent results Of his
work in this line Of endeavor came in
the construction of sea walls at
Tompkinsonville, Staten Island, Gov
ernor's Island, in New York harbor,
Race Rock hghtE ouse near New Lon
don, Conn, and the foundation for the
statue Of Liberty in New York har-
Dor.
Mr.. Smiths artistic bent developed
early and he became the producer Of
numerous successful paintings and 9TH
er art work, many Of which won rec
pEH1ition at art expositions.
1t was undoubtedly as an author,
however, that Mr.. Smith was best
known. He was a prolific writer of
novels, short stories and books Of
himself. His tales Of the south, Of
New York and of New England won
him fame, which was added to by 9TH
ser literary work the charm of which
was widely recognized.
Among the best novels were "Caleb
West" Tom Grogan," '"The Tides OF
Barnegat," and "The Fortunes Of OIL
Ner Horn"
( During his latter years Mr.. Smith
spent much time in Europe. He mar

through port authorities here tonight
to intern his ship and crew for the
war. Up to the last moment the Ger
man skipper kept up the appearance
of being ready for q dash to the sea
and when the time for decision finally
came he explained that failure of
expected relief to arrive had made
it necessary to intern rather than de
liver crew and ship to fruitless and
certain destruction by British and
French warships waiting off the Vtr-
ginia capes."
