corning the Steel and Wire Co.
Rv the Associated Press !

(By the Associated Press)
New York. April 2S.-The Times will
publish the following:
Developments in the affairs of the
American Steel and Wire Company likely
to cause a sensation. were made known
yesterday, friday. Summonses are now
in the hands of the law firm of Lamb &
Voss, for Chairman John w Gates of the
Company's Board of Directors and John
Lambert. the President, both of whom
left this city for Chicago last Wednes
day and it is the intention of the attor-
neys to take further legal proceedings,
which will include efforts to get, extra
dition papers if Messrs. Gates and Lam
bert show no intention of coming back
to this city. Magistrate Zeller, who
granted the summonses at private hear
ing, has issued them in blank so that
the attorney can fill in the dates at which
they may be made returnable.
The first complainant in the case was
Washington Seligman, Of the firm OF
Seligman and Vanantwerp.
There is a second complainant whose
name has been withheld.
The summOnses against Messrs. Gates
and Lambert were issued on application
made under section Gil of the penal code
of this State, headed: Misconduct OF
Officers and Employees of Corporations.
1t reads in part as follows
"A director. officer, agent or employee
of any corporation or joint stock asso-
citation who knowingly concurs in making
or publishing any written report, exhibit
or statement Of it's affairs or pecuniary
condition, containing any material state
ment which is false is guilty of misde-
meanOr."
Some time ago it was stated that the
directors Of the American Steel and Wire
Company in view of the prosperous con
dition of the corporations affairs intended
soon to retire $4,000. coo of the preferred
stock. the total amount outstanding Of
$40 coo. 900 at par. On the strength OF
this statement Washington Seligman and
the other client of Lamb and Voss bought
Steel and Wire preferred stock When
Mr.. Gates shut down II of the company
mills he gave interviews on Monday, April
18th. in which he was quoted as saying
that the steel and iron business was in
bad shape and that the demand for the
products of his company was hardly 81
per cent in volume of what it should be
The common and preferred stock begar
to tumble They have never recovered
their loss. Mr.. Gates was quoted as
prCphesying on the same day that the
price of steel rails would fall to abou
| s22 a ton in a week. which it by no means
| did and the men who later procured sum
| monses against him specify his statement
| as unjustifiabe.

The Ce.tury's Greatest Man.

In an editorial symposium in one Of
it's recent Sunday editions the Boston
Globe asked the question. Who is tn
greatest man the century has pro-
duced?" submitting it to Thomas
Wentworth Higgnson, Admiral Georg
l.. Relknap, Rev James De Normandie,
trustee Of the Boston public library;
Hon. Samuel D. Green. NJ. d., the his
torian. and Professor A. +. Dolbear Of
Tufts College. The replies are inter
esting. as these men are all of sufii-
GENTLY high standing intellectually to
give weight and value to then,
opinions.
Colonel Higginson pronOunces Oar
win. as a scientist, the greatest prod
uct of the century, and in statesman
ship Abraham Lincoln. Admiral Belk-
nap awards the honor to Lincoln first
and Bismarck next. DR.. Green names
but one. and his name is Abraham
Lincoln. Rev. Mr.. Normandie almost
his vote in favor Of Darwin, though he
mentions Claiming, Edison and Glad
stone. Professor DOlbear appears to
give the honor to Herbert Spencer.
Judging from these five expressions of
sentiment the honor of being the
greatest man of the 18th century goes
to the following in the order named:
First, Lincoln. and following him Oar
win. Bismarck and Spencer. But this
Interesting the speculation may be.
Generally speaking the answer To the
question propounded above will de-
pend upon The point of view of the one
making it. While literary minds will
naturally turn 10 Tcnnyson, Browning,
Hugo. Emerson and Hawthorne. the
scientist VIII think Of Darwin and
Spencer or perhaps Of Morse or Edison.
The statesman will think of Lincoln
Gladstone, Elaine and Bismarck. and
the soldier Of Grant Lee, Sherman or
Won Moltke. And with the churchman
other names will spring to the tongue
which perhaps the soldier has scarcely
heard Of.
There can he no unanimous agree
ment upon any one name. But We feel
sure that while former centuries have
been rich in the production of great
men, the 19th century has not been
surpassed by any in the number ana
the greatness Of the really great men
