GUN INVENTOR RUSSIAN PREMIER
DEAD IN LONDON INSERIOUSCRISIS
Inventor of Automatic Gun, Smoke
less Powder and Airship Passes
Away at Age of 76 Born in Maine
He Became Naturalized English
man and Was Created a Baronet.
LONDON". Nov. 24. Sir Hiram
Malm, Inventor of the automatic sys
tem of firearms died at his ljoiue here
early this morning. ,
Sir Hiram Maxim was born in San
Eervillo. Malno, on February 5. 1840i
He was a dcscondaut of KdrIIbIi pu
ritans who were among tho early set
tlers of riymouth county, Massachu
setts. After a meager sehoollnR he
went to work In a machine shop and
later was employed In the machine
works of his uncle, Levy Stevens, at
FItchburfC. Mass. In 1R77 he took up
tho question of electricity and was
among the first to make dynamo electric-
machines and electric lamps In
the United Stales. In ISSt ho was
made a chovallcr of the legion of
honor by Tresldent Orevy.
Tho Maxim automatic gun was In
vented In 1884 in London and was
immediately adopted by tho lirltlsh
government which used it in the war
with Matabele. Tho gun fired 600
rounds a minute and caused such
slaughter that parliament seriously
discussed the question as to whether
Its use was justified. Some years
later Sir Hiram, created a buronet by
Queon Victoria after having become
naturalized as an Englishman, Invent
ed the first smokeless powder.
In 1 90'1 Sir Maxim Invented a
heavier than air flying machine which
raised Itself from the ground carry
, Ing a driver and passenger, nine years
before tho first practicable air plane
was created by the Wright brothers.
Sir Hiram's machluo was a ponder
ous affulr and broke down In Its early
trial. In 1915 the Inventor was ap
pointed a momber of the Inventions
board created by the government to
moet the needs of I lie war.

Votes of only two counties remained

LONDON, Nov. 24 Alexander Tre

Potrograil newspapers say that the
appointment of M. Trepoff as pre
mier Implies tho neceslsty that tho

Tho retirement of Premier Stur

poff as his successor probably nre
outgrowth of w hat has been referred
to in a few carefully censored l'etro
grud dispatches recently as a serious
political crisis. Tho change appar
ently implies a victory for the liberal
elements of Russia over the bureau
cratic regime, for M. Sturmer always
has been prominent In the affairs of
the Russian burcauracracy, while M.
Trepoff In tho past has engaged In a
variety of reform work.

tho crisis had passed and that the ex
