Gave Him Two Million Dollars
From Private Purse to
Clear Up His Debts as
a Broker.
WALL STREET STARTLED
Judge Moore Cams to the Res
cue Through Friendship Alone
and Set Wall Street
Talking.

How would you like to have
friend willing TO put up two million
dollars in case you needed it? Mighty
fine. That's the kind of friends Sid
ney Love has, according to the follow
ing dispatch from New York:
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The disap-
pearance from Wall street of the brok
erage firm of Sidney c. Love & Com
pany has given to the stock market
an unexampled act of friendship which
caused almost as much of furry to-
| day when the true facts became known
as an unexpected failure or gigantic
coup.
| From a motive purely personal and
| in continuation of the friendship of
an experienced financier for young
er man, former Judge William H
! Moore, who through Fin Pate, Rock
| Island and other active movements
made great fortune, drew upon his
/ private purse for $2000,0o0 to allow the
| firm of Sidney C. Love & Company to
make a graceful exit from the active
stage of Wall street.
Daniel G. Reid, a friend and old time
partner OF Judge Moore, and James
/ II. Moore, a brother also felt the
same friendly interest In the younger
man, and lent their purses and theil
aid to the good cause.
About week ago. when the tang
led affairs of the firm of Sidney c
Love & Co. in this city and Chicago
came TO climax, the announcement
was allowed to come from Chicago
that Mr.. Love. the head of the firm
after having made fortune of more
than S2,OO0,000. had decided to retire
and close out his business.

True Facts Surprise street

Such a sudden determination on he
part of Mr.. Love, and especially the
idea that a man accustomed to such
an active life should desire to retire
at the age of Mr Love. did not find
ready acceptance in Wall street. II
was known that Mr.. Love had been al
most chronically wrong on the market
for some months. and the fact that
some of the wise men laughed in their
sleeves when they heard the story OF
the retirement with a large fortune
made Wall street eager to learn the
true facts.
Today the remarkable story OF how
the firm was saved became known
largely because it was too good TO
keep. II was repeated over and over
again until it rang throughout the fin-
ancial district and made a deep i'm
preston upon men who have been IN
Wall street foriyears and never heard
of a like case.
Some ten years ago, when the
Moores were beginning to loom UP as
giant figures in the market in Chi-
caeo. both in grain and industrials,
their attention was attracted to a
Young man in the pit. He was sidney
C Love. He was enlisted by the
Moores and MIR. Reid in some OF their
market campaigns and so favorably
were they impressed with his ability
that they aided him in establishing
himself in business.
This was in 1900, at the beginning
of the great bull movement. and the
Moores were on the right side oil ehe
market 1t was the beginning OF tue
great fortunes they made during thas
movement. and Love. as their broker
profited in proportion. The Moote'
amassed a great fortune and Love a
comfortable fortune.
When his business prospered 1--we
moved to New York, where the Monres
had been attracted by their groWla2
interests. Judge Moore was sratifleo
with the success of the younger man
and his protege, in a sense and ad
yised all of his friends to intrus'
their business to Love
/ Then came the break in the market
and the first break away from the
guidance of his patrons by Love. Ihe
i older men went to cover. Love, witt
the greater confidence of an uninte"
rupted career of success, "bucked
/ the falling market and was badly
squeezed when prices reached tht
/ lowest level in the panic CT a yea
ago.
When the troubled market settled
the furry was over and the wise
