Their 10-year-old son, Peter, who friends said was the inspiration of one of Steffens' last works his autobiography also was at the bedside when death came late yesterday. Educated In California and universities of Europe, Steffens, a native of San Francisco, entered the newspaper field in New York and in 1902 became managing editor of McClure's Magazine. Drew Roosevelt Ire In this position and later, as associate editor of the American and Everybody's Magazine, he encouraged the school of journalism to which President Theodore Roosevelt applied the term of "muckrake." Steffens led the crusade, aimed nt fraud, graft and social injustice both public and private atfairs.

with his series of articles on "The Shame of the Cities," "The Struggle for Self-Government" and others. He encouraged such writers as Ida jaruell to similar exposes until the new school-of which Upton Sinclair became another exponent, drew ihe ire of President Roosevelt. Roosevelt In an address In 190R called for a halt in what he claimed were unwarranted attacks on character. It was then he applied the term "muckraking." taken from Bunyan's "Pilgrims' Progress." 'Philosophic Communist' 'ine term subsequently became recognized in dictionaries as meaning to search out and expose corruption in both public office and private business. Steffens, also called an agitator.

Socialist and the like because of his journalistic efforts, claimed he presented the truth as he saw it. In his later years he became what friends described as a "Philosophic Communist." He retired to his Carmel home, which he built about eight years ago. and it became a mecca lor many admirers, particularly authors and artists of similar liberal views. It was devotion to the same ideal, social reform, that brought Steffens and Miss Winter together and led to their marriage in Paris, France, in 11)24, after Ihe death of his first wife.

His early stories were rejected, but finally he sold one to the Cosmopolitan Magazine.

A remarkable knowledge of the subtlest poisons and a diabolical skill in committing crimes were al ways given the criminal in Mr, Reeve's Craig Kennedy series. Mr. Reeve admitted that his plots were born solely of his imagination, but he insisted that his chemical mysteries were quite plausible and had actually been worked out ty chemists.

His literary output consisted of at least 40 novels, many of which were converted into film serials. One of the first of these was "The Exploits of Elaine." He also wrote for the radio. After leaving law school. Mr. Reeve became assistant editor of Public Opinion, remaining a-s such until 1906.

He was editor of Our Own Times from 1906 to 1910 and in 1907 was on the staff of the Survey. Mr. Reeve moved to Trenton from Oyster Bay, L. four years ago. In addition to his many books and other writings, he had served as a special writer at outstanding murder trials, including that of Bruno Richard Hauptmann at Flemlngtou.

Although he was ill, he was at the Hauptmann trial each day and roe a series stories for a newspaper syndicate. LEG IL NOTICES UNI I'EU "states" "district "court.
