offices in Berlin. while Hugo Jr. has
had charge of his fathers shipping in
terests in Hamburg.
SHINES was the type of self-con-
scious industrial leader of the Ger
man initiation period, and the
proletariat recognized in him a
symbol of accumulated wealth and
power in the hands of few men
which is directly accountable for the
misery of the masses in Germany,
says Voerwaerts.
The history of his postwar ascend
ency is the history of the wrecking
of the German currency, says the
Socialist organ, which charges the
dead magnate with frustrating the
consolidation of the masses, which in
the last analysis constitutes the surest
foundation for democracy and lib
erty."
The bourgeoisie press gives Herr
SHINES more favorable praisals and
designates him as the outstanding fig
ure in the postwar economic realign-
ment, whose vision encompassed a
far-reaching scheme for Germany's
regeneration and whose name will
forever be identified with distinc-
tive era Of Germany's development.

Speculate on Effect Death
Of Magnate Will Have
on Germany
SONS TO SUCCEED HIM
Asked for Details Of Dawes
Report in Final Hour
of His Life.
BY the Associated Press.

Berlin, April II. Germany
STRONG man" of industry is gone with
the passing Of Hugo SHINES and spec
ulation is rife today as to the ulti-
mate effect of his death on the in
ternational situation and on the rep
aration settlement.
Weakened by the effects of three
major operations within four weeks,
the man who would admit of no de-
feat in the marts of trade, bowed last
night to the ravages of disease. He
was fully conscious to the end and
during the day conversed constantly
with members Of his family gathered
at the bedside.
1t was characteristic of him that
even in the final hour he asked for
the details of the Dawes report of
the reparation problem, and expressed
qualification at recognizing what he
professed were some of his own ideas
among the recommendation made by
the experts.
Next to the loss of his leadership
over the industrial group which yields
such important infltence in the de-
termination of German reparation
policy, interest centers in the policy
to be followed with regard to his
manifold business interests. the main
details of which were always a mat
ter of personal concern with him, and
which he continued to supervise until
the last. IT,
The administration Of these inter-
ests will devolve on his sons, Edmund
and Hugo Jr., both of whom have been
in close touch with their fathers en-
terprises during the last five years.
Edmund. the elder of the two, is res
ident general director of the SHINES
