their confidence in Emmett as a business

that is both Emmett and the bank will
profit.

ILL.,, from which he graduated in 1873.
He entered business as a dealer in
grain, and then in hardware. While
there he foresaw the possibilities OF
the wire business, and finally estab-
lished the firm of j. w. Gates & Co.
to deal in wire products. He organ
lied in 1881 the Southern Wire COM
pany, and became its president.
Three years later he formed the Bad
dock Wire company, of Pittsburgh
and with his associates became inter-
ested in the Iowa Barbed Wire COM
pany, of Allentown, Pa, the st. Louis
wire mill, and the Baker Wire COM
pany, of Lockport, III. These COM
panies were combined in December,
1892, into the Consolidated Steel and
Wire company, with capital OF

Mr.. Gates resigned as president OF
the Consolidated Steel and Wire COM
pany in 1895, and in that year he be.
came president of the Illinois Steel
company. He held that position until
September, 1898, when the company
was taken into the Federal Steel COM
pany. In the meantime the Consoli-
dated Steel and Wire company con-
tinued to grow, and in April, 1898, it
was combined with other companies
into the American Steel and Wire
company, and Mr.. Gates was elected
chairman of the board of directors.
MI. Gates remained in that office for
some time after the absorption OF the

MAN OF EXPERIENCE.
Capt., Lemly, Judge Advocate OF
Schley Court Of Inquiry.
Has Had More. to DO with the Prose-
cutlon of Naval Law Cases Than
Any Other Onicer In the
Service. a.

Capt. Lemly is particularly well
fitted for the exacting duties o.
Judge advocate. He is now serving
his third term as Judge advocate
general. He is civil as we'll as q
maritime lawyer. So far as known
he has never expressed an opinion as
to the merits of either Rear Admiral
Sampson or Rear Admiral Schley. He
served with Schley in the Essex on
the South Atlantic station, and was
q watch officer on board the Thetis
commanded by Capt. Schley, which,
with the Bear, formed the Greely
relief expedition.
Capt. Lemly says he would fee
hurt to have it intimated that he has
any personal feeling whatever in the
controversy. In all the time he has
been at the head of the legal depart
ment of the navy, his service dating
back to 1892, he has, fortunately, never
had occasion to pass upon any ques
ton that involved either Sampson OF
schley in any personal aspect. Ht
has known both-Schley better thar
Sampson, perhaps. He was one o.

and he rendered valuable service tt

Sampson officially in the navy de
partment when the admiral was a.
the head of the ordnance bureau
and they were thus thrown into close

at least for several years.

In accordance with these partly

he would have been physical wreck
He was advised by his doctor to seek
some outdoor employment. For farm

Used Capt. Lemly that he will be ex-
empted from the duty of reviewing
the proceedings of the Schley court.
Capt. Lemly has probably had more
experience in the prosecution of
naval law cases than any other Of
fcer in the navy, and is generally re-
garded as one of the best equipped
officers in the navy for the important
duties which will devolve upon him
as Judge advocate of the court Sc
lected to pass upon controversial
points resulting from the conduct of
the naval campaign in the West In
dies.
Prior to his assumption of his du-
ties as judge advocate general of the
navy, in June, 1892, he was prom
inently identified with several of the
most important trials and investiga-
tions in the recent annals of the
navy. AS judge advocate and record
err of various courts he traversed
nearly all points of the world visited
by United States warships, going as
far as China and japan in the prose-
cution of such work.
He was judge advocate of the court
martial convened in China as a re-
suit of the loss of the United States
steamship Ashuelot, and was also
judge advocate in the court-martial
case of Paymaster Watkins, which
sat at Yokohama. He was also Judge
advocate in the court-martial cases
appointed for the trial of ex-Surgeon
General Wales and ex-Paymaster
General Smith. Probably his most
important work of this kind, how
ever, was as judge advocate of the
court of inquiry which investigated
the loss of the Jeanette in the Arc
tic. That investigation was con-
Quoted in Washington and was
marked by almost as much acrimony
and controversy as the pending
Sampson-Schley case.
Naval officers in speaking of the
fairness of Secretary Long in select
ing the court of inquiry point to the
fact that Admiral Kimberly was
Schley's commander back in the 7O's.

ACCUSER OF SCHLEY.
Pen Picture Of Edgar S. Maclay,
Clerk and Historian.
Never Was" Considered brilliant by
His Newspaper Chunas, But AL
ways Was q Hard Worker
and Close Student.

"Who is Edgar Stanton Maclay?"
is q question that is often heard and
seldom answered these days. Maclay
suddenly became a figure of prom
inence because of the charges that he
has made in his naval history, reflect
ing on the conduct of Rear Admiral
Schley during the war with Spain
charges that are so serious in. their
nature and made in such language that
the secretary of the navy has for
hidden the use of Maclay's book in
the naval academy, while Rear Ad-
miral Schley has for the same reason
secured from Secretary Long an Or
der for an official Investigation OF his
actions in the war.
Maclay is the son of clergyman
and is about 80 years old. He is under
the average height. but OF sturdy
build, with broad shoulders and heavy
legs. He is persistent and stubborn
in character and is proud OF his Scotch
ancestry.
While at work on the first volume OF
his naval history, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean, Maclay was reporter on
the New York Tribune, covering the
board of education. Robert S. Maclay,
a relative, was then prominent in edu-
cational circles and was at one time
president of the board. At that time
there were nine sons of clergymen on
the Tribune, and Maclay, like all OF
them, was fond of staying up in the
mornings after work was done, but
as he had life work ahead OF him
he decided he would have to practice
economy.
It was hard work for Maclay to
write. Words came slowly to him, and
It was difficult for him to handle a
pen or pencil. He wrote small
cramped, irregular hand. the lines be-
ing so close as to make him unpopular
with copy readers. At that time he
had all his data for his first volume.
It was while at Cornell that he con-
ceived the idea of writing naval his
tory, having come to the conclusion

Hoaslnn Fly.

q
Professor E. B. Forbes, acting state
entomologist, is about to issue bulle-
tin on the Hessian fly, which he con-
siders is the next pest that Minnesota
farmers will have TO fight. The fly
caused some damage to the crops in
1895 and 1899, but the operations were
small compared with what they are
likely to be unless the farmers take
measures to head it off. Reports of
damage from over the state are mea-
ger, owing to the ignorance Of the
farmers concerning the fly.
The system of summer following is
held responsible for the increase in
these insects. It permits them to
hatch their eggs and escape. The ro'
tation Of crops is considered one of the
surest means of doing away with the
pest. The fly must be fought oyste-
matically.

Shot and Killed.

Gerald Bailey, aged Is, son of Glib
son Bailey, Monticello, was shot and
killed by q young playmate. The
shooting was done by Ernest Elze-
meier, a boy about 16 years old, who
is visiting in Monticello. 1t is thought
to have been accidental, although the
boys had some words about the posses
sion of knife, and Elzemeier is re-
ported to have said to Bailey that it
he did not give him the knife he would
blow his head off. This was stated by
young Bailey before he died. Almost
Immediately after this threat the
shotgun in the possession of Elzemeier
was discharged, the load striking Bailey
in the right side. He died about six
hours afterward. The boys were only
six feet apart when the shot was fred.

ON MACLAY

that there was none in existence
worthy the name. When he left the
university he had a little money, and
he went abroad for data. There he
made use of what knowledge he had OF
French and German and searched the
libraries.
One day after Maclay had learned all
he could he found himself in Germany
with just enough money to pay his
wav to New York city on the steam@--.
He had three days in which to get the
steamer. How to live without eating
those three days was question: ana
how to get the steamer was another.
Somehow he got on board boat going
down the Rhine and on that boat ne
found bags of unroasted coffee. Ihe
hays were of canvas and his knife was
sharp enough to cut holes in canvas.
He laid in store of green coffee beans.
and he had. not starved to death by
the time he reached the steamship.
Ever after that he liked German COOK
ing and the Germans.
When on the Tribune Maclay would
hurry every evening to a little Ger
man restaurant at Third avenue and
Tenth street and fill himself with the
nroducts of that German kitchen at
a moderate expenditure. Sometimes
in the summer he would take glass
of imported German beer instead or
coffee, of which he was extremely fond
even when cooked. Beer he drank in
moderate quantities on Saturday
nights, when he usually went to Will
]iamsburg, bought ticket for some
ball given by fower-makers or paper
box makers, or shop girls. He would
dance to his hearts content and then
be very careful for the rest OF the
week.
Maclay always believed that writ
ING was low art, and that no matter
how we'll a man could write he could
never achieve fame unless he really
had something to say. When he got
through writing the first volume of his
naval history he got Erwin Wardman''
then copy reader on the Tribune to
90 over it for him. Wardman was
Harvard man, and was considered an
authority on English language and lit
erature. Wardman often grew tired,
but he kept at the work of editing the
volume, and when it appeared in print
it had smoothness to it.
In 1894 Maclay left the Tribune and
began writing naval editorials for the
New York Sun. When he got ready to
write the second volume of his history
he obtained an appointment as light
housekeeper at Setauket, L. l., and got
married. He has children. Maclay
kept plugging along until Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Allen was sent
to Porto Rico. Maclay wanted to be
his successor. He is row clerk IN
the Brooklyn navy yard
