EINSTEiN'S PAPER
IS CALLED SIMPLE
Professor Says Electricity and
Gravitation Link Is Easy
to Understand.
BY HOWARD N. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Einsteins
link between gravitation and electricity
Is called easily understandable in COM
ment by DR.. H. H. Sheldon. professor OF
physics at New York University, on
first complete copy Of EinStein's latest
paper received by the Associated Press.
This is the paper recently announced
by cable as clearing away doubts about
accuracy of Einstein's previous proofs
of some direct connection between
gravitation and electricity. The text
makes Is printed pages, mostly row on
row Of mathematical symbols, which are
the calculations carried to completion.
After studying the text DR.. Sheldon
said the time has passed when it can
be said that only half dozen persons
may understand Einstein. The relativist
now belongs to the man in the street
as much as any other scientist.
There is one thing about this paper
deserving Of further comment" said DIR.
Sheldon. THAT is the delightfully."-
simple relation which Einstein has
found to exist between the electrical
and the gravitational factors in the
cases chosen.
For example, in the case of the iso-
lated charged sphere he finds a relation
between the factors E and M, the cleo
trical and gravitational factors re-
spectively, involving no other terms ex-
cept those directly dependent upon the
coordinate systems used Involved
though the mathematical steps may be
which lead up to this result, the result
itself is of great simplicity"

Omaha Banker.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., April 22.-Arrested in
connection with the recent mystery
death of oscar j. Milius, president of
the suburban bank in which he kept his
meager savings, James A. Davis, ST.
year-old laborer, Sunday repudiated
admissions contained in a signed state
ment accredited to him in local news
paper Saturday night.
Davis was arrested after publication
Of the statement in which he was quoted
as confeSsing authorship Of a series of
threatening letters sent anonymously to
two business associates of the former
banker, who died here a week ago of
burns received in an automobile crash.
Davis denied, when questioned by
County Attorney Henry Beel, that he
was with Milius when the latter received
his fatal burns March /, as the article
stated.
He also repudiated the assertion that
the death of the banker had been de-
nberately planned, or that an alleged
accomplice had promised him $1,000 If
he would get rid of Milius"
Davis admitted to the county attorney
that he had written threatening letters
to j. T. Harnett, former cashier of the
State Bank Of Ralston, which failed and
Of which Milius was president, and to
J. r. o. Stewart, former city clerk of
Ralston and a close business associate
Of Milius.
He also confessed he had written
number of letters to Milius in which he
had threatened to take Stewart and
Harnett for d ride" but denied that the
n1issives had contained any threats to
Milius.
II never had anything against MAius,"
he told Beel. II always thought he was
too easy-going but absolutely honest"
Davis stated that he was prompted to
write the letters because he had lost his
life savings of more than $4,000 in the
crash of the institution.
Milius died week ago.
