MELINITE INVENTOR DIES AT 79 IN PARIS Eugene Turpin Discovered Other Explosives and Special Det- onator—Figured in Trial. ty, rgu- statement By the Associnted Press. PARIS, January 25.—FEugene Tur- pin. noted chemist and inventor of melinnte, died yesterday at Pontoise, near here. Eugene Turpin was born in_ Paris in 1848. For his discovery of inof- fensive colors he was awarded a prizc in 1885. He then began the study of explosives by experimenting with pie- ric acid. In addition to melinite, he invented other explosives and also a special detonator. In 1889, during negotiations with the British gun firm of Armstrong for the sale of the English patent of melinite, Turpin found that another officer, Ar. tillery Capt. Tripone, having acquired the secret of his Invention, had sold it abroad. This he made public in a hook, and Tripone was arrested, charged with treason and convicted. Turpin himself, however, did not es- cape, for he was charged with having made public in his book documents relating to national defense. He was pardoned in 1893 and exonerated in 1901 and was attached to the ministry of war as artillery expert. Turpin_also invented a_self-propel- ling shell endowned with a rotary movement, but it was refected by French artillery experts as Imprac- tical.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. effort is | made by jean and 1 ates € ments o arrange known in dipl y as a “modus vivendi” or tem vy arrangement, whereb the rights of hoth sides shall not be dis turbed while an arbitration tribunal considers the merits of the case The United States Governm i willing to submit to the General Claims Commission all fssues arising out of the attempt to confiscate Amer- ican ofl properties In Mexico, but with the und nding that no overt act shall be committed in the interim which might prevent the restitution of property to lawful owners. Two Methods Proposed. Two methods are being suggested to safeguard this phase of the prob. lem. One is that the Mexican courts shall be asked to grant orders In respect of each individual property and the other that the Mexi- can government shall give assurance of its Intention to maintain a status quo_while the questions are being decided, Already a number of Ameri- can cothpanies have applied for and obtained what ‘e known as ‘“‘ampa- ros,” which are equivalent to Injunc- tlons. Gen | restraining orders are not customary in Mexican law and an injunction granted. One of the dan- gers of this process so far as Amerl- can ofl companies are concerncd is that it may involve an examination of proof of titles and in the long serfes of changes Iin government the proof of title is not always easy to obtain. Commission’s Life Vital. Another problem involved in any temporary arrangement pending arbi- tration Is the question of the duration of the General Claims Commission. By treaty its life expires in August of this year unless extended by mutual agreement. Both governments are dis- posed to extend the life of the commis- sion for a term of years, but it has been suggested that the commission might better continue its work indefi- nitely without any time limit being imposed. The value of the commis- sion is that it has superseded diplo- matic channels in the handling of dis- putes on property rights and can by reason of Its experience handle the claims much more expeditiously than the embassies here or in Mexico City. Examination of the proceedings of the commission thus fur reveals the fact that its neutral umpiro—a na- tive of Holland—as well as the Amer- fean and Mexican commissioners are basing their briefs and decisions on the strict letter of International law. This has led to the hellef that If the case were ever submitted to the arbi- tration of the claims largest question at issue would be cne of fact as to title, Resolution Before Senate. Meanwhile the ing the adoption of a resolution fa ing arbitration. This is of lttle prac- tieal importance in the present situa- tion_ except a moral support for the legal side of the controversy. Both the Mexican and Ameri ments are disp question 18 now to arrange in the interim so that the case to arbitration. The difficulties of an agreement ure as nUmMerous as ever . because they Involve principles on which a long diplomatic_correspond- ence has vbeen conducted for nearly 10 years. If an agrement on detail could be secured in the protocol of submission, there would be little for the arbitral tribunal to decide. Prog- ress 15 being made, however, and’ the probabilities are that no crisis wil develop in the immediate future.
