Hood, acknowledged by all but a few of his ultra conservative contemporaries to be one of the greatest architects of the skyscraper age, died at 3:45 A.

M. yesterday at his home in the bouthfield Point section of Stam ford, Conn. The architect who was The late Raymond Hood 53 died of arthritis for which he had been treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, recently. When, in 1922, Hood won the $50,000 award for a design for the $7,000,000 Chicago Tribune Building from a held of distinguished architects, he was unknown, in debt for food he had to borrow money for an overcoat to go to Chicago to collect his prize. But in the next decade he built the American Radiator Building, the iSews Building, the Beaux Arts Apartments and the McGraw-Hill Building all of them among the hnest modern achievements in architecture.

Beauty and Utility. Although he was called a radical in his art and pioneered with great daring the ornamentation of skyscrapers, Hood disdained the fantastic for its own sake and clung to the theory that beauty was the natural growth of utilitv. The News Building at 220 E. 42d St. has been called the model skyscraper, combining beauty with utility.

He had a habit of sketching suddenly conceived ideas on the nearest handy surface, and it is said he drew the first design of The News Building on the white frock of a young cousin to whom he had promised a box of candy. Born in Pawtucket, R. the son of a lumber dealer, Hood went to Brown University. Later he shifted to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in 1911 received MUSED to Die to go to Homefurnishing EAYE I you most certainly don't!

Then came years of striving and of discouragement, of small com missions and petty jobs. Although he could scarcely afford it, he employed Elsie Schmidt of New York as a secretary, and after a brief courtship married her in 1920. For a time he supported a grow ing family by designing radiator covers for the American Radiator Company, but the company discon tinued the covers, and his job. The older generation of archi tects was startled when he built the American Radiator Building of black brick and trimmed it with gilt. They cried out when he dressed the Beaux Arts Apart ments in horizontal stripes and The News in vertical stripes.

But the younger architects hailed Hood as a genius. He was elected presi dent of the Architectural League of New York and his election was considered a triumph for his unique ideas. Edward L. Rossiter Edward L. Rossiter, treasurer of the New York Central lines, 86 Shore Road, Greenwich, died yesterday, on his 64th birthday, while vacationing in Bergen, Norway.

His death occurred in the hospital at Bergen as a result of pneumonia and complications following an automobile accident in that city on July 15. Rossiter began employment in the treasury department of the railroad as a clerk in 1887, and had occupied the post as treasurer since 1920. Hood was made a Chevalier of the Order of the Crown of Belgium and named on the international jury in the choice of a memorial to Columbus in Santo Domingo.
