He is of sf interest for Dead Men's Shoes; Or, the One Hundred Per Cent Inheritance Tax (coll of linked stories 1920), a group of stories linked by the telepsychophone, a Communications device which, as the word implies, allows various individuals to link their minds together. The tales thus enabled include "Democracy Come True", a Utopia set in 2000, along with other sf stories. [JC]
