BUSINESS HEAD DIES
Dr. William H. Greene, president
of the Stephen Greene Company,
who died today at his summer home
in Wenonah, N. J.
Dr William Houston Greene, president
of the Stephen Greene Printing Com,
pany and widely known In social, musi
cal and financial circles, died suddenly
early this morning at his summer home,
TVenonah, N. J.
Death came while he was acleep and
Is believed to hae been due to heart
disease, caused by the Intense heat.
Doctor Greene was alxty-flve years old.
Though probably better known as a
patron of music, because of his connec
tion with the Musical Art Club, of which
he had been president for years, and be
cause of his wife's prominence In musi
cal circles, Bho possessing n beautiful
soprano olce. Doctor Greene was an
eminent scientist.
He had done vuch research work, and
was professor of chemistry at the Cen
tral High School for several years.
let eloped lmlutry
On the death of his father, he
took charge of the printing business i
founded by the latter, and developed it
Into'one of the largest Industries of the
kind In the city. The plant Is on the
uiim in
Parkway at Sixteenth and Arch streets
Doctor Greene Iled during the winter
In a big double house that occupied the
properties at 2128 and 2130 Spruce
street, where he entertained all the
prominent singers and musicians who
came to 'Philadelphia. Hla summer
home at Wenonah Is a fine estate, his
father having founded that village and
hating owned most of the land In that
bccticn at one time.
Mrs. Greene, who before her marriage
was Miss Saiah Caanaugh. daughter
of Paul Cavanaugh. former prominent
member of the Board of Education, sings
a great deal for charity, A son, Stephen
"Greene, 2d, also survives Doctonjjreene.
Graduate of Jefferson
Born In Columbia, Pa., December 30,
1853, Doctor Greene took his Master
of Arts degree at' the Central High
School, this city, and later was gradu
ated from the Jefferson Medical Col
lege. He was an assistant professor of
chemistry at Jefferson from 1870 to
1877 and was a demonstrator of chem
istry for two years. In 1877 he went
to Paris and studied under Adolpli
Wurtz for two years.
' ' On his return to Philadelphia he was
appointed a demonstrator of chemistry
at the University of Pennsylvania, which
post he held for a year, resigning In
1880 to accept the chair of chemistry at
the Central High School. He remained
there until the death of his father, In
1892.
Doctor Greene was a fellow of the
Chemical Societies of London and Paris,
of the American Philosophical Society
and of the Philadelphia County Medical
Society. He was the author of a num
ber of books and articles on chemistry,
Including translations from the French
works by Adolph Wurtz and Paul Berts's
"First Steps in Scientific Knowledge,"
i of which he waa the American editor.
Won Fame Abroad
Like many modest Americans, he was
more famous abroad than he was here,
for in his native city hla publishing busi
ness, his many unostentatious charities,
his musical and social Interests, and
his hearty enjoyment of the society of
hla friends stood out more than the
valuable but less obvious contributions
to the science of chemistry,
Ills articles were eagerly accepted by
foreign Journals, and he was held In high
' esteem by his fellow-chemists of France
and England.
The death of Doctor Greene came at
a great shock to his friends. He had
seemed In health this summer, though
complaining somewhat of insomnia of
late. However, he had not consulted a
physician, and Insisted on being at his
office every day, making the trip to
' arid from Wenonah In his motor.
Doctor Greene was a member of the
- University Club and Union League. He

of Drookvllle, Pa., said a few words
of the burial service. His com

were Privates Charles Marcaage, of
Pottsvllle, Pa., and Frank Brown,

SENATORS CHIDE MILITANTS
A Rsert Their Cause Suffers
Through "Unseemly" Protest
fly l7ie Associated Press
Washington. Aug. 8 (By I. N S ). '
Militant suffragettes who staged a
demonstration In front of the White
House Tuesday, were sharply criticized
In the Senate this afternoon. Senator i
McKellar called It "an unseemly protest
against the President."
Senator Smoot said It was designed .
merely to get newspaper notoriety. "Such
tactics win nun me cause instead or
helping It," he added
"I am tired of these repeated out-!
breaks and 1 am sure the friends of
woman suffrage are likewise tired of
them," said Senator Thomas, of Colo
rado. "If the propaganda continues
much longer It will lose votes for the i
i-ause tnat were heretofore considered
safe." .
