Dr. Steinmetz was regarded not
only as one of the foremost authori-
ties on electrical engineering but one
of the greatest mathematicians in
the world. Strangely enough. one of
his greatest difficulties as a. child
was .in learning the multiplication
table.

Born in the city of Breslau. Ger-
many. on April 9, 1885 and educated
at its famous university. young
Steinmetz curly became interested in
aocisuml at a time when vigorous
steps were being taken against it by
the government. An issue of a. social—
ist publication in which the students
were interested and in which Stein-
met: had several articles. was con-
fiscated. the publication lusponded
and the editors arrested and im-
prisoned. Steinmetz fled from Ger-
many and found refuge with a
friend. a. clergyman. near the Aust-
risn border. From there he went to
Zurich.

Two weeks after landing in Ameri-
cs. Steinmetz obtained employment
in the manufacturing establishment
of Rudolph Eickemeyer at Yonkers,
N. 221. as a. draftsmnn. At: that time
the company was making a. few
electric motors and generators and
bad Just taken up ’work on the
problems of the electric street car.
jointly with Stephen D. Field. All
the designs for the experiments with
the electric cars passed through his
hands. Quarters for a laboratory
were obtained no he began to speci-
lize on magnetic testing. His wr't-
tags on electrical subjects began to
attract attention. his discussion of
the law of hysteresis eliciting much
interest on the port of electrical en-
“users.

1211892, the General Electric Com-
pany bought the electrical monu-
fncturing business of the Eickemey-
er Company except the making of
motors for elevators. which the Oil!
Company took over to “lawn tint.
and Steinmetz went to the Lynn.
Mass. works of the General Electric
Company. In January. 1893. he was
transfer-rd to the Schenectady
works, gnd has since that time made

that both the Estern and Wastern

This will mean the cessation of
work by sixteen companies. l-ches-

Mr. Zukor as the reason.

“In our Long Island City studio,"
he said, “we shall reduce produc-
tion activities. keeping only Gloria
Sw'nuson and Thoma Melghau at
work. As soon as they have finished
their present schedule of pictures
they will also cease production. In
our Hollywood studios the companies
will stop production as soon all they
have finished the pictures on which
they are working at present.

“We have decided upon this cur-
tailment not only because we are

ter of completed pictures. but be-
cause cost of production is too high.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 36.—From
his place of seclusion here Ch8rles

R. Forbes. former director of the
veterans bureau issued a. statement
today as “utterly and absolutely
false" the story of H. Mortimer of
Philadelphia. before the Senate in-
vestigating committee of alleged
bribery and corruption in connection
with contracts for veterans bureau
hospitals.

"I do not feel that I ought to
make any statement in advance of
the full and complete testimony
which I shall give under oath on the
witness stand ” said Mr. Forbes
statement. “However at the insistent
urging of my friends in response
to inquiries from the press: I can-
not refrain from saying that every
charge and every word of testimony,
especially that of Elias Mortimer.
reflecting on my personsl or oficinl
integrity are utterly and absolutely
false and without the slightest
foundation.

“The story of the receipt by me
of a. $5,000 bribe was not only false
but so absurd to be ridiculous. The
only thing I ask of the public ’ls
to withhold judgment until my wit-'
nesses and I are heard and the full
documentary evidence produced.
“In reply to inquiries us to when
