or. in fact. more than any man in history, Professor Thomson has combined in a most remarkable way the constructive powers of the in- ventor, the thoroughness and sound- ness of the man of science and the kindly balance of the ideal philoso- pher, teacher and friend"
 His Inventions
 Besides the electric locomotive, Dr. Thompson's inventions included 1:
 The alternating current transfor- nation for distributing electrical energy at high voltage by means of transformers.
 The watt-hour meter, to measure the amount of electricity consumed.
 The alternating current repulsion motor. of vital importance to in- dustry.
 A device to produce the electrical waves now used in radio.
 Electric resistance welding.
 Centrifugal cream separator. (In collaboration with Professor Hous- tom.
 stereoscopic methods in x-ray photograph.
 Born in England
 pr. Thomson was born in Man. chester, England, March 20, 1853, a.! was brought to this country when five years old. His parents settled in Philadelphia, where he began his education. From his fath- CT, an engineer and skilled me- chanic, he inherited hls ability in the mechanical arts, and the never to-be-satisfled curiosity out of which came his many contributions to science and engineering.
 At il, he had constructed fric- tional electrical machine in which Discarded wine bottle with a crank at one end was the most i,- .portant part. When. after dem- orlstration, the elder Thomson indi- cated that he was not greatly im- pressed by the puny sparks of his sons apparatus, Elihu went back to his shop in the basement and made certain changes, including the addition of several Leydan jars.
 Second Demonstration
 A second demonstration, after the boy had cranked vigorously to store up q heavy charge, left no doubt of th. impression created upon the somewhat skeptical father, who was almost fiattened by the shock.
 By this time young Thomson had completed his elementary education and was ready for advanced studies. r ,sble to enter a school of higher le.rning until he was j3, he had two years to wait.
 Aside from a few treasured tools that he was forbidden to touch, the

 Conservatives were said to insist whole incident at once and that if any mention was made 1t should be only a simple bulletin announcing that 1t would be best to end the the protest.
 In the radical group, 1t was re- ported, was the newspaper Der An- griff, official organ to the Nazi la bor front, and the propaganda min- istry headed by Dr. Paul Joseph Qeobbels. The foreign piinsitery was reported aligned with the con- servativeS. ',,*vt.ft~. ;e@t>
 The foreign office view was that the nature of Dodd's protest made 1t unnecessary to make any answer at all.
 As the suppression decision was announced, Nazi authorities upon the intervention of the American consulate general postponed until March IS a deportation order against Boris F. R. Smolar, natural ized American who is chief Euro pean correspondent of the Jewish Photographic agency. He. was under orders to leave the country, with his wife, by Monday.
 It was announced that an inves- tigation of Smolar's case would be continued Monday.

 Instructor At IS
 At IS, he graduated from the Boys Central high school, Phila- delphia, and became an instructor in the school, his students being boys of his own age. He soon de- velo. ed a remarkable technique in tn handling of mischievous pupils.
 After serving as assistant profess sor and full professors, he demon- strated before the Franklin 1nsti- t''te in 1878 his first dynamo.
 Two years later he showed his famv is bi-phase dynamo, Q machine of significant historical interest be- C .uc, 1t contained characteristics now the essentials of the great modern generators. His next dy- ncmo, built In 1879, was the basis for the arc lighting system devel- oped by Dr. Thomson in collabora- ton with Professor E. j. Houston. The association of these two scien- lists ended a year later when Dr.. Thomson moved to New Britain, Conn.
 Patents Exploited
 There, for a time, the patents of Thomson and Houston were ex- Lloited by the American Electric company. Subsequently the business wa5 moved to Lynn under the name of the Thomson. Houston Electric company, which later, with the Edi- son General Electric company, be- car, the General Electric com- Eany.
 pr. Thomson's inventions made possible many of the useful de- vices operated by electricity in mile lionI of homes today.
 Dr. Thomson held 16 medals, re- ceived both in this country and abroad, for contributions to science. In the United States alone he held 700 patents.
 As recently as his 82d birthday, he had received the medal of honor of the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure of Germany, the oldest and largest en- gineering society in the world. only one other American has ever receiv- ed this award.

Il also would inject new blood into the court, relieve the present psy- chological situation due to long diff ferences o. opinion among the jus- tices and provide enough justices to read all of the applications sub- rnitted to the court"
 Andrews, still uncommitted on the court plan, advanced an omnibus proposal for a constitutional amend- ment either supplementary to the Roosevelt proposals or as a com promise. He said he had discussed the plan with many senators and there was a "preonderance" of sen- timent for tt.
 "He proposed to enlarge the court to II members, to require a two- thirds vote to invalidate acts of con. gress, to permit voluntary retire. ment of justices at 70 and compul- sory retirement at 75.
 Alternative Plan
 Some leading foes of the court plan as well as some of the less active supporters of the proposals recently have renewed their efforts to unite congressional sentiment behind an alternative plan. Andrews suggestion combined most of them.
 Other developments included:
 Speeches in opposition to the court enlargement by Senators Da- vid I. Walsh, D., Massachusetts; Royal s. Copeland, D., New York; and Edward R. Burke, D. Nebraska, at New York mass meeting.
 Declaration by Senator George w. Norris, Independent, Nebraska, that some action must be taken to end what he termed failure of the court to interpret the constitution in the light of present conditions. He favored amendment to clear the way for labor and farm legislation.
 A charge by Senator Rush D.. Holt, D., West Virginia, that the ad- ministration was using patronage as & lever in an attempt to force the court plan through the senate.

Watrebury's four members of the legislature, Senator's Joseph Lawlor and George T. Culhane and Repre- sentatives John D. Thoms and Daniel J. Mahaney, all have bills included in the long list of proposed measures to be considered by the committee Wednesday afternoon.
 License Fees
 Senator Lawlor's bill is one of the most important to be heard as t sets up Q new system of fixing Ii- cense fees and eliminates the much hated four per cent gross sales'tax on alcoholic beverages. Represen- tative Thoms has introduced sim liar bill in the house.
 Senator Culhane's bill concerns the sale of beer and changes the present law slightly. Representa- tive Mahaney's famous "five-ccnt glass of beer" bill is among those scheduled for hearing Wednesday afternoon. His measure would eliminate the four per cent gross sales tax on five-cent glasses of beer but would leave the tax on ten cent glasses of the beverage.
 Representative William c. Hun gerford of Watertown also has bill included in the list amending the liquor control act.
 Substitute Bill
 1t is expected that after the bills have been heard the judiciary com mittee will reject all but one or two of them and include the subject matter in the discarded bills in one or two substitute measures to be reported back to the house and senate.

lie Utilities Commission to reduce fares in that city to five cents.
 The Hartford officials, however, are merely interested in having the fares reduced in their city. They claim that the Hartford lines are operating at a profit and that the Capital City residents should not be obliged to pay high fares just to make up for losses suffered by the bus and trolley companies in other localities. The Mahaney bill to be heard on April 7th does not favor any one locality, but takes in the entire state.
 Other Bills Same Date
 On the same day two other bills introduced by local legislators will be heard before the judiciary committee. One of them, also introduced by Representative Mahaney. would force the telephone company to eliminate its extra charge for French phones.
 The other bill was introduced by Senator George T. Culhane and is a highly important one. also. It would oblige the light and power company to do away with its fixed charges and fiat rates for gas and electricity. Senator Gulhane iG assured Of much support on this bill when the hear ing takes place, but the opposition from the public utility companies is expected e be very great
