DRY PANIC" PUTS GATES
OUT OF WALL ST. GAME

The Coates Waterloo is said to
have occurred during the last ac-
tive panic in Wall ST., when the
money kings on the other side of
the market from him turned and
rent him to pieces. The $40,000,0 00
he Is said to have lost in the past
few years. The present condition
of the New York gambling mart,
when Wall st. is living upon itself,
precluded recovery.
Always plunger, John w. Gates.
of Bet you million fame, ever
ready to risk fortunes on the turn
of card, upon the speed of horse
or turn of the market, had a py-
rOtechnic career. He came out of
the west to buck Wall ST., and
bucked it to it's sorrow until recent
ly, when the history of the downfall
of western plungers has been re-
peated.
Gates started as farmer boy. At
the height of his success he was es-
timated to be worth $50, 900. To-
day he has gathered together the
remnant of his princely wealth and
, slowed it away for rainy day. He
has enough Of the game. But he
is still rich.
The United States Steel trust was
the idea of Gates, and he was once
its president. He began in the steel
business in a small way. First he
was travelling man at $25 a week in
Texas for a barbed wire firm. He
sold so successfully that he decided
making barbed wire was good
thing, and got st. Louis friend to
back him with $4,000. They pros
pered and the concern was enlarged
until it was making s150,e00 profits
a year. AS the barbed wire trade
developed, cOnyerns all over the
country were consolidated with
Gates, and finally, through J. P.
Morgan's finesse, the United States
Steel trust was launched. After get
ting out of this, Gates tried to line
up outside concerns into a formi-
dable opposition to it, Meantime he
was a factor in Wall St, his best
coup being getting control of the
l.. & N. railroad.
