Steinmetz could be developing it.
Therefore he was deeply interested

When death came he was figuring
on getting out of bed in 4 few days
and resuming his experiments.
End Unexpected
The end was totally unexpected; so
much so that no doctor was present.
Funeral arrangements had not been
completed up to noon today. Tenta-
tive plans called for private funeral
at his home Monday afternoon. The
body win lie in state Sunday after
noon. Honorary pall-bearers will be
selected from among his intimate as
sociates and the active pall-bearers
will be selected from his laboratory
workers.
Word that Steinmetz was dead
caused CONSERVATION among hundreds
Of General Electric workers and 9TH
ers who regarded him as a super-man
and looked eagerly forward to more
miracles in the near future.
Others of the staff of lectrical en-
gineers, commencing on the death,
said that although Steinmetz's feats
with thunder bolts attributed the
widest popular attention, he had other
achievements which were really more
important in the history Of science.
He discovered the law Of hystere-
sis" and this is placed first in his list
Of accomplishments. He also per-
sected a formula for calculation Of al
ternating currents. This is placed Sec
ond on the list.

Steinmetz was So years of age. For
"a years he had lived and worked in
the United States, following his emf
grafton from Germany. He was born
in Breslau. Germany, and was I'M
married. He attained his greatest
prominence during the last ten years,
during part of which and until the
time Of his death, he was chief con-
sulting engineer Of the General Elec-
trio Company.
While he was working hard and
never sraring himself. his close friends
say, he was fully aware that his heart
was weak and that it might cease to
function at any time.

Steinmetz was elected president of
the common council in Schenectady
when George R. Lunn was elected
mayor on the socialist ticket. He was
reelected in 1916 and at the time of
his death was member of the board
of education Of that city.
In 1922 he was nominated for the
office of State engineer by the socialist
party and ran thousands of votes
ahead of his ticket.

German Socialist

AS a student he became interested
in and converted to socialism in
1888, and took an active part in
Socialist propaganda and organiza-
ton. In those days under Bismarck
and the anti-Socialist laws, Socialists
were subjected TO execution by the
German government.
He was one of the pioneers in the
Socialist Democratic agitation in Ger
many, as a result of which he was
forced to fee to Switzerland in 1888.
While in exile, he studied mechanical
engineering at the Poly Technisun.
He emigrated TO the United States
in 1889 and became connected with the
old electrical firm of Osterheld &
Eichemeyer, first as a craftsman and
later being transferred to the research
and electrical engineering bureaus.
Absorbed by &c. E."
This firm was absorbed when the
General Electric Company was organ
lied and Steinmetz became associated
with the new company. He fitted into
the new organization in an admirable
way and while not an inventor in
the strict sense of the word, his pow
ers of research made such a strong
appeal to his superiors, he was given
the duty of organizing the research
bureau of the company when the
home offices were moved to Science

Inveterate Smoker

Steinmetz was an inveterate smoker.
He was hardly ever seen during his
waking hours without a cigar in his
mouth
When he first came here tc organize
the research department Of the Cen
eral Electric Company he found mo
smoking signs posted throughout the
laboratory.
He wrote the following sign and left
the office:
mo smoking, no Steinmetz."
He meant it, too, for he did not re-
turn until officials Of the company sent
for him and told him they had re-
scinded the order against smoking.
Steinmetz was known throughout
the world as Charles Proteus Stein
metz. Until recently it was supposed
he had been so christened, but he
told the story Of how he received
the name Proteus to few friends.

Refused to F7y

When an airplane was performing
at the General Electric plant recently
SteinInetz was invited to take a ride
in it, he refused. Later he condded
to close associates that he feared the
excitement OF airplane would be too
much for his heart.
There were only a few people at the

USE THE TRENCH
FOR IRRIGATION
Scheme ConserveS Water and
labor-Best Way to Reach
Roots of Plants.

The proper amount of moisture Is
about as essential as enough warm
sunshine, to produce a good garden
crop. Too much moisture is worse
than too much sunshine, for In the
latter case the soil can be loosened,
conserving what moisture the ground
holds.
When the season is long and hot,
with very little rainfall. the cottage
gardener, II thoroughly interested,
takes advantage Of almost every op-
portunity to play the hose on his
growing crops, thinking, OF course,
that he is doing just the right thing.
Perhaps more young plants are de-
stroyed by shooting a cold spray of
water on them than are killed or
stunted by drought, or other reason.
One splendid method of watering
garden, when sufficient water is avail
able, and it's metered cost Is not to
be considered, is the trench irrigation
plan. Small bitches, three or four
inches deep, along the plants. with
steady stream Of water slowly run
ming into the ditch, will be highly
beneficial, and at the same time con-
serve the water supply, by not send
ing 1t where 1t is not needed. The
roots, especially in the dry weather,
search for moisture and continue
their downward growth. Long roots
are advantageous to many plants,
while others do not need them.
The ditch irrigation plan will be
found most beneficial and interesting.
If used as 1t is In sections where 1t

charm of the home surroundings. On
a wooden house the vines should not
be permitted to become so thick that
they prevent proper ventilation and
timely painting, but hot sunshine is
very destructive to paint, and the
shade of vines helps to preserve 1t.
There are several devices for grow
ing vines so as to permit removing
them from the woodwork when 1t Is
necessary to paint the house. A trellis
can be made with hinges near the
ground, or chicken wire placed over
hooks at the highest point, so that 1t
may be taken down, vines and all.
Another type of trellis can be made
of chicken wire on a pipe frame
which will keep vines entirely away
from woodwork. Vines are also ap-
propriate on fences. arbors, pergolas
or summer houses.

the spring after the ground has
been plowed or spaded. The lime

 Will Maintain Fidelity.
 It is stated now that the palatinate will maintain it's fidelity to the fed- eral government, presumably by an arrangement whereby 1t will continue within the German federation, but with strong states rights.
 The authorities of the palatinate have agreed to recognize French rights and assist in reparations pay ments. 4
 It Is learned that the government is also planning a form of autonomy for the Rhine and the Ruhr, to be granted under the name of a govern mental directorium."
 Rhineland dispatches indicate that the saparatist movement has lost its first impetus. A few small towns in the region of Traeves have gone over to the movement, and the sepa- ratist leader, Muller, has proclaimed himself president of the zone.

 Ousted From Jue1ich.
 Separat1St forces were busted from Juelich, but simultaneously occupied Moers and Ruedeshim- am Rhine. De- layed dispatches report that sepa- ratist still control Duisburg. They also are threatening Oberhause and Hamborn.
 Government officials, however, de- clare these gains are relatively un- important and that the movement Is momentarily stagnant.
 Serious disorders were reportea from Saxony. Food rioters at Erhart stoned the police, who volleyed upon the demonstrators, killing one and wounding several.
 Six hundred communists seized the city hall at Annaberg. Three persons were killed in clashes between towns folks and military forces at Grimma. One person was killed and two wounded when police dispersed un- employed rioters at Cassel in Hessen- Nauuau.
 Food demonstrations continued in Berlin, due to the overnight boost of bread prices to ten billion marks per loaf.
 The German palatinate lies south east of the Rhineland, bordering the Rhineland on the west and Baden for the east. It Is near Mayence, where separatist demonstrations have oc- cured.

Belgium Arranges Farley
By CHARLES M'CANN

LONDON, Oct. 24.-From an au- lucrative source in close touch with the international situation, it is learned that Belgium has instituted negotiations for a conference between Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and the United States, concerning the problem of separations.
 The conference would follow the lines advanced by Secretary Hughes, and would nave authority exceeding that of the reparations commission.
 That the United States would enter such conference, If unanimously in- vited, is virtually assured.
 France, however. is expected to re- fuse to participate, hence the United States would also refuse.
 Summary Of situation.
 The same source vouchsafes that the international situation created by the reparations muddle and it's con sequences may be summarized as fol- lows:
 1. The recent progress made in ce- menting the Anglo French entente will be totally lost unless miracle occurs.
 2. Britain feels that a conference such as Belgium proposes is the only

CAN'T ESCAPE FROM
 HAVING TWO WIVES
Four Judges Block Lumberman's
 Attempt To Free Self

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 24.-Try as hard as he will George T. Toon ley, Chicago lumberman, formerly in business here, cannot escape from having two wives and this, by deci- sion of four judges.
 The latest decision in TConleys domestic troubles came in the courts here Wednesday, when Mrs. Frances Toonley, who now lives in Racine, Wis, with her three children, and who is wife No. 1, was granted $500 for attorney fees, s200 for suit money and S200 a month alimony from the lumberman.
 The case first came into the courts when Toonley on July 23, 1920, sued for divorce. Judge Willard P. Hall granted it. Mrs. Toonley failed to make an appearance.
 Toonley later married again. Then wife No. 1 sued to have his divorce set aside because of techinal error in publication of the notice. This was done upon the order of the state court of appeals, where the suit was taken following Judge Halls refusal to act.
 Thus Toonley again found himself with two wives. The order issued Wednesday Is only temporary one. The case is expected to come up again in the November term of court.

 The Teapot Dome contract, which has been sharply criticised in some quarters, was negotiated for the gov ernment by Mir. Fall and Secretary Denby of the navy department.
 About the time of his retirement from government service, Mir. Fall said. Mir Sinclair consulted with him regarding contract for oil develop ment in China. In that connection, he added, he made trip to London for a conference on the subject.

 For his services. the committee was told, he received no compensation, al- though he was paid $10,00o for ex- penses.
 Since his return from London, Mir. Fall declared, he has had no busi- ness relations with Mir. Sinclair.
 Replying to questions of committee members, he said he also had advised D. L. Doheny of the Pan-American

 Declaring he intended to Capitalize as well as I can my ability during the remaining years of my life,' Mir. Fall continued:
 T will accept employment from Mir. Sinclair, MT. Doheny or anyone else as I see fit I expect to form a connection with one of the oil in- terests named or with coal interest, a transportation interest or a syndi- cate interested in railroads in this country. Offers have been made me by such interests. but none have been accepted"
