He moved to Newark, New Jersey, becoming a partner with Messrs. Stevens, Roberts & Havell, in the manufacture of dynamo-electric machines for electroplating, electrotyping, electric lighting and for other purposes. By invention of an ingenious automatic cut-off, which prevented a reversal of polarity and consequent change in direction of the current, he produced the first true dynamo-electric machine which would serve for electro-metallurgical work. It greatly excelled the old galvanic battery system in simplicity, relia- bility, and economy in zinc, acids and mercury, and is now used in practi- cally every important electrotyping and electroplating establishment. The business was incorporated in 1877 as the Weston Company, which was in

EDWARD WESTON
188I consolidated with the United States Electric Light Company, of which he was electrician until 1888. In 1878 Mr. Weston invented several improve- ments in nickel plating, upon the basis of which the Weston Malleable Nickel Company was organized.
From 1875 Mr. Weston gave much attention to the problems of the pro- duction of light and the transmission of power by electricity, constructed vari- ous types of incandescent lamps in 1876, and invented the hydrocarbon treat- ment, which equalizes and standardizes the brilliancy and degree of resistance of all carbons on a circuit, overcoming defects in structure. Though at first Mr. Maxim obtained the credit and Mr. Sawyer the patent for this invention, the fact that Mr. Weston invented it was finally established and his right in it secured after a long contest in the Patent Office. He also contrived valuable devices for securing uniform luminosity of arc lamps in series. He also con- structed several motors for propulsion of electric torpedo boats in 1878; and invented tamadine, a material derived from gun cotton by a series of chemical processes and transformed into a gelatine-like mass, from which carbons can be prepared which are of high specific resistance, elasticity and toughness, and perfectly homogeneous. By their use the number of lights obtainable per horse power is greatly increased, while their high resistance greatly reduced the size and cost of conductors required for incandescent lighting, the inven- tion thus being of great value both as to efficiency and economy.
For the past twenty-two years Dr. Weston's time has been almost exclu- sively devoted to original investigation, research and invention in connection with the art of electrical measurement. He made three important discoveries, which are at the base of his electrometric inventions, namely: I, A method of producing permanent magnets; 2, Negligible temperature coefficient alloys ; 3, A nonmagnetic spring alloy, and a method of treating this alloy during the course of manufacture to produce springs of the requisite electrical and mechanical properties.
On the basis of these fundamentals Dr. Weston has created a line of measuring instruments equipped with permanent magnets and free from all variations of efficiency due to changes in temperature. The first of these were the Weston Standard Portable Voltmeters and Ammeters for Direct Current, patented in 1887, when the Weston Electrical Instrument Company was organized; followed by the Weston Standard Portable Direct-reading Voltmeters (for both alternating and direct currents), patented 1890; the Weston Standard Portable Watt-meters, for alternating and direct currents, patented 1892; and later the Weston Illuminated-dial Station Ammeters, which was the first solution of the problem of measuring the direct current from stations, and also Station Voltmeters, now made in all types and sizes adapted for the needs of the smallest isolated, to the largest city stations. Dr.

Weston has also invented duplex instruments combining voltmeter and amme- ter in one case for convenience of simultaneous reading of current and potential, and he is constantly adding to the number of types of measuring machines and switchboard instruments, and in his private laboratory he is constantly evolving new ideas and applications of great practical value in electrical service.
Dr. Weston's contributions to electrical science and invention have been of incalculable value. They have given system, accuracy and scientific form to commercial electrical engineering. The degrees of Doctor of Science con- ferred by the Stevens Institute of Technology and Princeton University, and the LL.D degree from Magill University, Montreal, were well-deserved recog- nitions of his scientific achievements.
Dr. Weston has not only built up a great scientific institution but also one of the most successful manufacturing enterprises of the country in the works of the Weston Electrical Instrument Company. The works, at Wav- erly Park, Newark, New Jersey, have a floor space of six and one-half acres, and the factory is the best equipped in the world for electrical work, with every device and machine that can be used to advantage, many of these being Dr. Weston's own invention. The private laboratory of Dr. Weston and the section of the plant set aside for experimental work are especially complete and are constantly busy, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are annually expended in experiment at the works.
Dr. Weston makes the comfort of employees a first consideration, and prominent features at the plant are the perfect arrangements, dining rooms, recreation rooms, shower baths, and other appointments for the use of the five hundred men and women employed at the plant. There are also factories of the company in London and Berlin, for the inventions of Dr. Weston are in use in all civilized countries.
Dr. Weston was one of the "captains of industry" invited by J. Pierpont Morgan to meet Prince Henry of Prussia on his visit to the United States. He is a member and former president of the American Society of Electrical Engineers; member of the American Society of Chemical Engineers, Ameri- can Electro-Chemical Society, American Physical Society, Society of Mechan- ical Engineers, Royal Society of Arts, of London, England; American Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science, and National Electric Light Associa- tion. He is also a member of the New York Yacht, Atlantic Yacht, New York Athletic, and Chemists' Clubs of New York; Essex and Essex County Country Clubs, of Newark, and the Canoe Brook, Baltusrol, and Deal Coun- try Clubs.
He married, in New York City, Minnie Sidell, and has two sons: Walter Coleman Weston and Edward F. Weston.

ABRAM I. ELKUS
A BRAM I. ELKUS is forty-three years old. He was educated in the New York public schools, graduated from the City College and Co- lumbia Law School, and was admitted to the bar in 1888. He formed, in 1896, the firm of James, Schell & Elkus, of which, on the deaths of Colonel James and Mr. Schell, he became and now is the senior member.
Among his celebrated cases are the Anderson will case, James 7. Work (arising out of the failure of Grant & Ward) ; Gracie v. Stevens and Ward v. St. Vincent's Hospital. As special United States attor- ney he successfully prose- cuted fraudulent bankrupts. He established a precedent that perjury in bankruptcy proceedings is punishable summarily as contempt. In the United States Supreme Court he argued a case fix- ing rights of persons deal- ing with insolvent stock brokers. As counsel for the Merchants' Association he is active in promoting legislation for commercial welfare through uniformity of law relating to sales and warehousing of merchan- dise, etc. As counsel for the Merchants' Protective Association and American Association of Woolen and Worsted Manufacturers he is constantly engaged in ABRAM I. ELKUS important commercial liti- gation. He is co-author of a treatise on Secret Liens; member of the Amer- ican, State and City Bar Associations; director of the New York County Lawyers' Association; president of the Hebrew Technical School for Girls; trustee of the Baron de Hirsch Fund, and member of a large number of clubs. He is an independent Democrat. In 1896 he married Gertrude Rosalie Hess. They have four children.

CHARLES LE ROY HENDRICKSON
C HARLES LE ROY HENDRICKSON, stock broker, and member A of the New York Stock Exchange, was born at Floral Park, New York, May 29, 1883, being son of George S. Hendrickson and Elizabeth Frost Hendrickson. His father was well and favorably known in the financial cir- cles of New York City, having been a member of the New York Stock Ex- change for twenty-five years.
Mr. Hendrickson received a classical education, being graduated from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Preparatory School with the Class of 1899, and then entered Columbia University, from which he was graduated with the degree of A.B., in 1903. He then took up graduate studies in the same university, leading to the degree of A.M., which was conferred upon him in 1905. After his graduation, in 1903, he entered upon the study of law, and he was admitted to the Bar of the State of New York, upon examination, in October, 1905.
Instead of engaging in the practice of law, Mr. Hendrickson decided to enter upon a financial career, and became a clerk in the office of the brokerage firm of Shearson, Hammill & Company. He was elected to membership in the New York Stock Exchange on August 16, 1906, and has since been regu- larly engaged as a broker in stocks and bonds.
He had his office with Shearson, Hammill & Company until August 31, 1907, when he joined in the organization of the present firm of Hendrickson, Hall & Company, stock brokers, his partners in that business being J. Willet Hall and Edward Tworger, with Frederick M. Hoyt as special partner. The partnership has continued since that time, and they have built up favorable connections and an extensive business, covering all the usual departments of a Stock Exchange house. The firm enjoys an excellent reputation and takes rank with the more successful of the younger brokerage houses actively oper- ating on the New York Stock Exchange.
Mr. Hendrickson is a member of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity and of the Columbia University Club. He has his residence at Garden City, Long Island. In 1906 he married Marie Merritt, daughter of Israel J. Merritt, Jr., at Whitestone, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Hendrickson have one daughter.
