in authoritative quarters that the

French conditions for a confer

ed as a rejection of Secretary of
State Hughes plan for an interna-

in Schenectady, N. Y.

SCHENECTADY, N. X. Oct
26-Dr. Charles Proteus Stein
metz, well-known electrical wizard,
died ct his home here shortly
before $3.50 this morning.
The end came very suddenly. He
had been i'll less than two weeks
and during the last few days had
been reported as rapidly recovering.
DR.. Steinmetz was born at Bres-
lau, Germany, April 8, 1865. He
came to this country twenty-four
years ago.
Dies at Breakfast.
DR.. Steinmetz was being given his
breakfast when he gasped and sank
back on the pillow. dead.
Just minute before the end he
had remarked to the nurse that he
felt better than at any time since
he was taken sick. It is believed
death was due to heart disease.
No information concerning DIR.
Steinmetz's death could be obtained
at his home, but 1t was announced
that a statement would be issued
later by officials at the General
Electric plant.
DIR. Steinmetz left Schenectady in
September, for the Pacific coast. On
the way he delivered numerous lee.
lures in the Middle Western States.
When he left, home his physician,
DR.. H. P. GroeSbeck, advised him
to be careful about OVERRIDING his
tasks.
Regarded as Genius.
DR.. Steinmetz for several years
had been chief electrical engineer at
the General Electric Company's
plant in this city. He was regarded
the world over as an electrical
genius.
Schenectady was shocked when
news of his death became known.
He always had taken a great in
terest in the progress Of this city.
Only a few months ago DR.. Stein.
metz invented miniature thunder
and lightning. This was considered
one Of his masterpieces. So real
was the lightning that under the
hand of DIR. SteinmetZ small trees
erected in his laboratory could be
demolished.
The electrical wizard was forced
to take to his bed a week ago last
Saturday following his return from
the trip to the Pacific coast. Al
that time 1t was said he was suf
fering from a heavy cold and ex
haustion, believed to have been
brought on by his cross-continent
trip.
DR.. SteinmetZ. who was in his
fifty-ninth year, was regarded as the
foremost electrical expert in the
world next to Thomas Alva Edison
It was the life dream OF DR.
Steinmetz to make electricity the
universal fuel power Of America
He was constantly experimenting
with this end in view.
Author Of Many Books.
DR.. Steinmetz was the author OF
many books, including Theory
and Calculation Of Alternating Cur

and General Lectures on Electrical
Engineering" He was born In

More than this, Lee. who is

WANTS MORE EMOTION.

Diverse opinions are held by thinkers
in the religious sphere as to the part
that emotion should play in a relig-
ious revival. One school maintains
that the appeal should be to the rea-
son and another school holds that the
appeal should be to the emotions. The
latter has the greatest visible effect
as demonstrated by the Billy Sunday
method. both schools admit, but the
disputed point is whether or not the
effect is Of lasting value.
However, that may be. an advocate
of the appeal to the emotions is found
in the person Of DIR. Loaring Clark,
who is remembered by many San An
tOnians, as the outstanding speaker of
the diocesan conference of the Episco-
pal church that was held in San An
tonic last year.
"The appeal of the evangelist is not
primarily to the intellect but the
emotion, and emotion is the dominat-
ing power in the great crisis Of life, Z"
DIR. Loaring Clark is quoted in press
dispatches as asserting before the
diocesan conference of the Episcopal
church Of America which was in ses-
sion at st. Louis, Mo-, January 10
and II.
In his address before the conference,
DR.. Clark advocated a revival of evan
gelism. He urged the clergy to go out
side their churches and through street

Jandrith is visiting the large cities OF
Texas and Oklahoma in the. interest

terian General Assembly. He has also
won laurels as lecturer upon the
Chautauqua platform.
In preparation for the visit, OF DR..
