When Mr. Edison knew that the end
vas near, he prepared himself fearlcsSly
for death.
DR.. Howe revealed this in a story
written especially for the Associated
Press.
He told his family his work was fln-
ished," Dr. Howe wrote, land assured
them he would rather leave the world
than keep the burden and disabilities
of age and illness on his devoted wife
and children
DR.. Howe said the immediate cause
of death was uremic poisoning brought
on by complications of nephritis and
diabetes. Mr.. Edison constantly studied
his illnesses. and knowing milk would
relieve his pain learned to drink more
milk until it became his sole nourish-
ment, three years ago.
He always ate sparingly and disl1ked
water. His indifference to food caused
him to lose weight and strength
Under treatment he rallied, then
failed. until finally he surrendered to
long periods of sleeping and drowsiness.
Writing on Mr.. Edison's last hours,
Or. Howe continued:
His last conscious hours were cheer
full, and at Intervals his mind turned
to thoughts of the hereafter"

New York, Nov 13--(UP)--Com- Snunism made little headway in the United States during the 1929-1931 business depression, ap official efec- ton returns revealed.
 Out in Seattle, Wash, where no communist had been elected be- fore, the party put into office two city councilmen in the recent elec- ton but generally speaking the na- tion's official election figures show no great gain in strength as might have been expected during a pe- riod of economic readJustment. An increase of some 500 votes corded in wisconsin where the communist party put candidates for governor in the field. A corre- spending gain was made in Minne- sota in the face of sweeping vic- tories by the farmer-labor party.
 Communism's greatest show of political strength probably has been made in Minnesota and Wis., consin. Tn the 1928 election, the communist candidate for president received 1,528 votes, with 1,436 votes cast for U. s. senator and 1,420 votes for governor. In the 1890 election the communist can- didate for governor received 1898 votes while the candidate for lieu tenant-governor was given 3,155 votes. secretary of state, 2.889, and attorney general 2.827.
 Communists gave William Foster 1858 votes for president in 1928 in the Minnesota elections while Karl Reeve got 5,594 communist votes in his race for governor in 1880. That was the election in

Communism Made But Little Progress In
 The Past Two Years
Election Returns Show That Despite Depression Their
 Numbers Have Not Been Greatly Increased

which the farmer-Iabor candidate was swept into office with 457.154 votes. Since then the communists have not bothered to put any can didates into the field.
 The farmer-labor party which now dominates Minnesota has taken in most progressives, some of whom previously voted the com munist ticket. Only the most radi- cal voters carry on with the ham, mer and sickle emblem.
 In Nebraska there has been no recent elections in which the com munists appeared. The party claims to have 700 members in packing house district of Omaha and 15O members uptown" but they haven't got out as q political party and voted.
 The party also claims HOO mem bers in Council Bluffs, Iowa. a city of 40,000 population, but the vote has not been officially recorded.
 : In Cleveland the communists put only one candidate into the field in recent municipal elections, Miss Mary Nurmi, who boiled only SIS votes in her race for the city coun- ell. Previous communist candi- dates fared no better.
 There were no communist can- didates in the recent Detroit elec- lions for the city council but the party's candidate for mayor in the last two elections received a few hundred votes. In spite of attempts to organize the foreign population. the communist party never has been able to gain foothold in De- troit.
 Nor did the communist party put forward any candidate in the last elections in Portland. Oregon, where the party has claimed strength in the past.
 The history of the communist party in the United States has been one of frequent changes of opinion, conflicting policies and programs and swift reversals,
 Many of the party's permanent plans were formed long before the formation of the workers party in 1921, one organization among about IS such. The communist dis banded and joined the workers party in 1923, a union which brought to an end several schis- matic sects but which set two new groups battling for control within the ranks. They finally settled their factional disputes and accepted the edicts of Moscow but, to this day, continue factional activities.
 In 1923 Moscow ordered ''united front" and the workers party undertook campaign to wooing trade unions, farmer or socialist and farmer labor parties. An analysis of their voting power shows just how much headway has been made.

Leslie Moves to Regulate
Activities of All 0rgani-
cations.

State regulation of the more than
300 charitable organizations and in
situations in Indiana has been pro-
posed by GOVERNOR Harry C. Leslie.
Investigation of various new en-
terprises and the compulsory filing
Of reports, including the receipts
and disbursements Of the various
groups, was suggested.
Such regulation is being studied
by both the Governor and the re-
organized state board of charities,
and recommendations carrying out
the ideas are expected to be made
soon.
What our attention is being To-
cussed upon in particular" declared
Leslie, "are the various fly by night
charitable organizations wherein a
man or woman puts on q uniform,
a cap or bonnet with some insig-
MIA and then goes out to solicit aims
and contributions for the needy. In
many cases the funds so obtained
are diverted from the cause for
which they obstensibly were coll
lected.
ut is of the utmost Importance
that something be done to regulate
the charitable organizations.
ut is not our thought to hinder
the worthwhile organizations in
their laudable labors, but merely to
aid them by clearing out the I'M
desirableS," Leslie declared.

Politics never bothered Jerry
Kinney, although he probably was
more affected by the breakdowns
and rebuildings Of city political
machines than any other member
Of the police department in the his
tory of the city.
His titles, salary and desk often
we're shifted, but these changes,
that came as the public's affection
tidal waves from one man to an
other-fron one party to another
and from one issue to the next
never veered Jerry Kinney from his
work as a police officer.
Throughout nearly half a CEN
fury as an officer he stood Loyalty
with his friends-nan to man. He
was a Democrat, although there
are but few of US who ever heard
him say so.
During his two score and four
years on the city pay roll Kinney
saw politics ruin his friends and
skyrocket others to the heights of
tickle public acclaim. He nourned
at the loss of two public figures
who were driven to the easiest way
out" Of suicide by politics.
Named BertilIOn Chief
The police roll book page that
bears the title Jeremiah E. Kin
ney," tells the story Of Kinney's buff
feting, indirectly. by balloting Of the
people.
The record reads of his appoint
rnent as q patrolman on the metro
politan police force June /, 1887.
Then it tells of his transfer to the
detective department four years
later.
Then, perhaps, appears the only
change not directly effected by poll
tics. In 1893 he was named head
of the Bertillon department because
one man realized his value in that
branch Of police work.
A year later he stepped to de-
tective captain. But in 1901 came
his first slip. Politics reduced Kin
ney to a detective sergeant.
Two years later the political ship
changed its course. Kinney again
was a detective captain.
Resignation Refused
After a minor shift in 1905, a
year later found Kinney reduced in
rank to detective sergeant. Three
years later he was a detective lieu
tenant and in 1918 he rose, despite
politics, above the ranks to be
named chief of detectives.
Again fate was with him and he
moved to acting chief of police Aug.
1, 1919. Four days later he was
chief, although he thought seriously
of refusing the post.
From 1922 to 1880 Kinney three
times was detective chief and three
times was reduced to detective cap
tain.
And then Mayor Reginald H.
Sullivan named Jerry Kinney po-
lice chief of indianapolis.
Last week Kinney wanted to
resign. Sullivan refused.
Now Jerry Kinney has gone where
ranks. salaries and desks count for
naugllt.
