Urges Law Change to Make Governor Powerful New Haven, Oct. 26.—Drof. Allen Johnson of Yale today urged in a speech at the citizenship school of the Connecticut league of women vot- ers, that the power of the governor in Connecticut should be increased so as to make him in fact as well as in name, the chief executive of the corh- monwealth. “The governor today has no authoritative voice in either the legislative or executive hranch of the 'l government,” said Prof. Johnson. The speaker recommended that the gov- ernor’s veto over legislation be made more effective by requiring that more than a majority of each house of the assembly should be needed to over- ‘omo it. He recommended that the overnor should be allowed to intro- | duce bills into the assembly and | spoke favorably of a reorganization of | the state activities in departments | under the control of the governor. 10 EXPOSE KLAN Gavernor Parker of Louisiana Hires Big Hall Where He Plans to Deliver Sensational Speech New Orleans, Oect [ | Parker of Louisiana the Ku Kiux Kilan attracted tention, has renfed the largest for Monday Daily States, saye, address which will knows about the kian ir end its relation to the pre campaign Governor whose fight on aditorinm i MEET AT ABERDILN Aberdeen Provi 26, More of the army tite American iro from ahl p the are attendance today annual meeting of the associatic ordnance asso, and ste s of Unit the re- |y, | | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 192y, A Spell-Binder Mrs, Thernten Lee Mrown of Jop- 1in, Mo,, national organizer of women's clubs for the democratio national com- mittee, has been booked for speeches at six of her party's reglonal meet.

The Spanish author was in a jovial and bantering mood. American au- thors and international affairs, he said were “too delicate to discuss.” He said he would spend several weeks in New York, finishing a series of articles on the history of California.

Stelnmetz fled from Germany and found refuge with a friend, a elergyman, near the Austrian border, From there he went to Zurich. Entered Motor Plant Two weeks after landing in Ameri- ca, Steinmetz obtained employment in |the manufacturing establishment of | Rudolph Eickemeyer at Youkers, N. Y. as a draftsman. At that time the company was making a few electrical |motors and generators and had just taken up work on the problems of the electric street car, jointly with Ste phen D. Field. All the designs for the experiments with the electric cars passed through his hands. Quarters for a laboratory were obtained and he began to speclalize on magnetic testing. His writings on clectrical subjects began to attract attention, his discussion of the law of hysteresis eliciting much interest on the part of clectrical engincers. His Rise Was Rapid In 1892 the General Electric com- pany bought the electrical manufac- turing business of the Eickemeyer company except the making of motors for elevators, which the Otis company took over to its own plant, and Stein- metz went to Lynn, Mass, works of the General Electric company. In January, 1893, he was transferred to the Schenectady works, and has since that time made Schenectady his home. In 1912, he was appointed president of the board of education of Schenec- tady, and in 1915, was elected presi- dent of the common council of that city on the socialist ticket. He never married. Given College Degrees ( Dr. Steinmetz served for mapy terms as the president of national and international socleties connected with e electrical industry. Harvard nored him with the degree of mas- ter of arts and Umon college made him a doctor of philosophy. Since 1913, he had served Union college as professor of electrical engineering and elecfrophysics. Wrote Many Books Books written by him include the following: “Theory and Calculation of Alternating Current Phenomena” (1897); ‘“Theeorctical Flements of Electrical Engineering” . (1901); Theory and Calculation of Transient Electric Phenomena and Oscillations” (1909); “General Lectyges on Elec- trical Engineering” (19%); “Radia- tion, Light and Tllumination” (1909); “Engineering Mathematics™ (1911); “Electrical Discharges, Waves and Impulses” (1911); “America and the New Epoch™ (1916); “Theory and Calculation of TFlectrical Circuits" (1917); “Theory and Calculation of Electrical Apparatus” (1917). He also wrote numerous papers on mathe- matical and clectrical engineering subjects. Dr. Steinmetz's special field, in which he was most cxper®, included magnetics, ymbolic method of alter nating current calculations and tran- sient phenomena. Artificlal Lightning A recent feat which attracted at- tention was the production of an ar- tificial indoor thunderstorm including a holt of lightning carrying energy of 1,000,000 horsepower. The thunder- storm which Dr. Steinmetz both pro- duced and controlled had all the char- acteristics of its natural brother ex- cept the thunderclouds, At a demonstration of the Steinmetz “lightning generator” in a laboratgry of the General Electric company in March, 192 the familiar forked [tongues flashed through the labora- tory with a deafening crash, splinter |ing a large block of wood, hurling he fragments 25 fect, and ripping a min- iature tree from fip to bhase | Million Horsepower | The bolt carried the energy of 1,- 000,000 horsepower, ahout one five | hundredths of the energy of a natural |lightning bolt and lasted for one Ihundredth thousandth part of a sec ond | | _“In our lightning generator,” Dr. | |Steinmetz explained “we get a dis charge of 10,000 amperes at over | lasting for one-hun volts, dred thousandth part of second tearing |B] _ Our activities are about evenly divided between the faithful reproduction of the finest examples of the mode, and the study of how economically we can sell them. a . the explosive This and shattering effect of real lightning the duties of |0 that a piece of small tree sxposed 1 not given any |10 the discharge 18 mechanicaily torn 16 pieces flash The A vanishesz in dust diseence between piece of wire struck by lightning | ehairman ! mittee consisting of William H, Cro | "Rettgg [ Romt Prices to Meet the Demands Have Many Demands to convention here yosterday.
