N. Aug. 2 (By The Associated Press) Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, died at two o'clock this morning at his estate near Baddeck. Although In failing health for some time, he was not confined to his bed and the end was unexpected. Alexander Graham Bell lived to see experiments which he began with a dead man's ear less than fifty years ago result in a means of communication for millions of long distance telephone conversations daily in all parts of the world.

The possibility of talking over a wire, ridiculed then as a dream by almost everybody except Bell, became during his lifetime a reality commonplace and marvellous. The Bell basic patent, known in the records at Washington as No. 474,465, has been called the most valuable single patent ever issued in the whole history of invention. There are today over thirteen million telephone instruments through which billions of' telephone conversations are carried on each year. Means of communication had been a hobby in the Bell family long be-iore the Inventor of the telephone was born.

Two generations back, Alexander Bell became noted for In-Tenting a system for overcoming stammering speech, while his son, Alexander Melville Bell, father of the inventor of the telephone, per-fecteda system of visible speech. With this heritage, the son, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847, undertook similar experiments while a lad. 1 Dr. Bell's laboratories have been located since 1886 near Baddeck, the Culpepper Hardware ot which he and his brotner, u. a.

Culpepper, are owners. Besides officers and employes of the Eastern Oil Company, a number of friends of the guest of honor were nrooont no wpro nicn Mh hmthpr T. present, as were also his brother, L. B. Culpepper, and his father, LeRoy Ciilnpnner.
