Edwin HI. " Vare, Long
Political B O 6 s Of
Philadelphia, Dead
Attendance at Bedside of
Sick Daughter While He
Was Convaiescent Re-
suits in Fatal Relapse

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1e---Edwin H.
Ware. the second and most active of
the three brothers who for many years
controlled the politics and public works
OF this city, died this morning ut his
home at Amber from oedems of the
lungs, the climax Of an illness from
which he had been suffering for sew
eral weeks. 1t is thought that he might
have recovered had he not insisted upon
watching day and night at the bedside
OF his ten-year-old daughter, who is iii
with pneumonia. He is survived by
his wife, four daughters and a son, and
by his younger brother, William s..
ware, Representative in Congress. His
elder brother, George A. Ware, for
merly Representative in Congress,
died some years ago
Mr. wares parents, Augustus and
Abigail (Stites) Ware, came from New
Jersey and settled in the "Neck" dis
trict of South Philadelphia, where he
was born, on July 19, 1852 The three
brothers entered the employ of a
small contractor for city work. In
time they themselves became contrac-
tors and ultimately enjoyed practical
monopoly Of all city work, from which
they amassed great fortunes while the
city incurred high taxes and q stagger-
ing debt. Their control of municipal
politics was even more complete than
that of Tammany Hall, in New York
For many years Edwin H. Ware was
the business member of the fraternal
firm, while his two brothers sought
political preferment and power. He
never rose above the Office of State
Senator. But after the death of the
eldest brother, George, in 1908, he as
sumed personal direction of political
affairs in the city, and at times sought
to dominate them in the state. For a
time he worked in cooperation with
Bcies Penrose and James P. McNichol,
in the regular state Republican "ma-
chine" But in the campaign of 1912
he charged them with playing him false,
and allied himself with the Progressive
element, led by William Finn.
In the hot campaign of 1917 Mr..
Ware was charged with completely in
attempted manipulations of the pri-
maries, and even with having furnished
the money for bringing to Philadelphia
professional "gunmen" whose activities
eliminated in the shooting of police
man. He replied by attributing the
outbreak of violence to the vicious
system of election thuggery" estab-
lished by Senator Penrose

Mrs. Agnes Edgar Dies

Mrs. Agnes Strahan Edgar, of New
York and SOUTHAMPTON, died unexpect-
edly yesterday in her apartment at 81
East Fiftyeighth Street. She was the
wife of the late Newbold Edgar, the
daughter of the late Alexander
Strahan and the granddaughter of the
late Bishop Strahan, of Toronto. She
Is survived by three daughters, Mrs.
Richard H. Williams jr., Mrs. Henry
Sanford and Mrs. E. Steuart Davis. For
many years she has been a leader in
the social life both rere and at the
Long Island resort, and her daughters
have succeeded to like position.
Mrs. Edgar passed the summer at the
Irving House, at Southampton, and in
the White Mountains. She was not in
good health, but the physicians attend
ing her did not consider her condition
serious.
Funeral services will be held at the

new era In the art of commur1ica.
tion dawned on Sunday when the vac.
uum tube was used for the first time III
history to bridge the Atlantic Ocean
with wireless telegraph signsls on
commercial basis. On that date there
was. born the practical application Of
an instrument that is destined to revo.
lutionize completely our present means
of international communication anC
also our system of transmitting power
from one point to another over vast
distances.
To the average layman there is an al,
Of mystery surrounding the vacuun
tube, 1t has been named "The modern
Aiaddins lamp" because Of it's appar.
emily unlimited possibilities
1t ls, however, very simple device
Its debut on practical basis in power
form sounds the death knell Of the ri.
gantic revolving machinery now nee
essary for the purpose Of Atlantic
communication and power transmission
1t brings nearer to US the day wher
wireless telephone conversation be.
tween New York and London will be ar
everyday occurrence as dependable as
the ordinary telephone service within
the city limits.
known to All Radio Fans
The vacuum tube is nothing more
than the ordinary electric light bult
with special additions. Around the
flament inside the glass bulb there is
spiral wire, known as the grid" and
around this grid there is metal
sheath known as the "plate." 1t is the
instrument known to all radio fans.
Ever since it was first discovered by
Lee de Forest, attempts have been
made to construct it Of sufficient size
to handle large amounts Of power
For several years, however, the prob.
lem of sealing metal to glass in a
joint that would resist wide changes
in temperature and still retain the
high vacuum inside the glass remained
unsolved for tubes with greater pow.
er than one electric horsepower.
Within the last twelve months this
problem has been successfully mas.
tered, and in addition to this means
of keeping the tube cool during opera
tion las also been developed success
fully The solution of these two
points, however. was not sufficient ,te
bring about transatlantic communica
tion and power transmission. In or
der to function properly the vacuum
tube needs very high voltage upor
it's plate, which must be direct cur
rent.
