STEINMETZ (Continued from Page One) In recognition of this he adopted Hayden’s son, J. L'troy Hayden, now | a man of about 40 years of age, with I children of his own. Steinmetz always regarded Hayden as his son and looked upon Hayden's children as his own grandchildren. Steinmetz was 58 years of age. For ! 34 years he had lived and worked in the United States, following his ' | emigration from Germany. He attained his greatest prominence during the last ten years during part of which .and until the time of death, he was chief consulting engineer of the General Electric company. The following telegram from Fraveis C. Pratt, vice-president of the General Electric company, was received this morning by E. W. Lankenau, superintendent of the local plant of the General Electric: “I deeply regret to inform you that Dr. Steinmetz passed away at 8:00 o’clock this morning, result of valvular heart trouble. Funreal service at residence on Monday. Will be private. Fraveis C. Pratt, vicepresident.” Steinmetz was an inveterate smoker. He was hardly seen during bis waking hours without a cigar in his mouth. When he first came here to organize the research the department of the General 'Electric company.* he found "no smoking" signs posted throughout the laboratory. He wrote the following sign and left the office: "No smoking, no Steinmetz." He meant it too. for he did not return until officials of the company sent for him and told him they had rescinded the order against smoking. Steinmetz was known throughout the world as Charles Proteus Steinmetz. Until recently it was supposed he had been co christened, but he

It | was the custom of this organization to bestow n mime on all new memJ hers and the ceremony was canned out with a groat deal of formality. “Proteus" was selected for his name. Just why.

' i TRAPP ACTING I GOVERNOR TODAY Court Decides Walton Can- ! not Act During Impeachment Hearing. i Trapp Is Governor Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 26. —M. ' E. Trapp today assumed the duties of governor of Oklahoma, replacing ! J. C. Walton, suspended during im- , peachment proceedings in the logia- •' lature. i Trapp took over the powers of otfi<e bv virture of a decision of the suI I feme court after Walton had challenged the right of the state senate to oust him pending hearing on the impeachment proceedings. Walton’s sole hope of retaining offi.' ce today rested in his chance of pri I venting a two thirds vote in the state senate for his removal. All his et-| forts were concentrated upon preparation of his defense against the charges pending against him. The lower house of the legislator l Las now adopted fourteen of the twen-ty-two separate accusations brought against the governor and expected to complete voting on the entire indictment today. “:I will continue to fight," the a >vt rnor said. His defense in the senate will be based upon the contention that the charges against him are the result of a comspiracy among the Kn Klux Klan members of the legislature seeking his removal.
