LUCKY" BALDWIN
DIES ON COAST

cUMss TO PNEUMONIA AT
HOME IN CALIFORNIA.
''UNLUcKY" IN LATE YEARS
With Gold Fever. Youth Of % Went
West In t850-Life Of Ro-
Municipalities With
Fleecers.

Los Angeles, Cal.-E. ]. lucky
Baldwin, the noted turfman, died at
his home at Arcadia.
He was stricken with pneumonia
six weeks ago and later rallied and
was able to appear at his famous
Santa Anna rae track. The exertion
was too great and a relapse followed
from which he failed to recover.
Lucky Baldwin was born in Butler
county, Ohio, April 8, 1928. Young
Baldwin followed the occupation of
his father before him. When his par
ents moved to Indiana young Baldwin
went with them. There were boat.
loads of grain to be taken to Chicago
markets; young Baldwin volunteered
to care for that important end of the
farming business. The spirit of bar
ter and trade was born In the boy. In
Chicago he manifested a great inter-
est in the speculative markets. 1t
was gambling, but the man who was
destined to become one of the great
est gamblers of his day studied each
investment to such good purpose that
he accumulated a small fortune.
Lucky Baldwin was 81 years Of age
when the great gold fever swept over
the world, All eyes weret urned to
California. From all lands they were
coming; the hardy pioneers who were
to build up the great Western state.
Fol some reason Baldwin hesitated.
He was never a mar to act on i'm
pulse. He wanted to hear more of
the country before casting in his lot
with the West. What he heard must
have satisfied him, for in 1850 he
started from Racine, Wis, to drive
across the plains to the new land.
Arriving in California, Baldwin en-
gagged in various kinds of business
and always with success. But all the
time he was watching for a chance to
make a grand coup. Small profits did
not satisfy him. He saw other men
becoming rich every day, and he vas
only waiting for his chance.
With the days of the great Com
stock lode it came. Into that mael-
strom of speculation went Elias ].
Baldwin with his eyes wide open for
the main chance. Miners were be-
coming millionaires ove night. Great
fortunes which stand today were built
up in weeks.
Took No Pity on Fieecers.
There was a sudden furry in the
stock markets of San Francisco and
out of 1t came a new millionaire
Lucky" Baldwin. He was merciless
in his dealings with the men who had
been misrepresenting the facts in the
case. He had caught them in their
w trap, and he showed no pity.
This deal netted him his first great
fortune, $4,000, 900.

to d%enounce the narrowing influences

have a regard for the libel laws, and

have to prove or suffer the conse-

therance of the plan, one in the Muir
ray Hill Lyceum in Manhattan, the
other in the Labor Lyceum In
Brooklyn. Prominent Socialists and
suffragists were present and the en-
thusiasm manifested was sincere and
earnest.
In the Manhattan meeting, Miss
Leonora O'Reilly, the girl Of tene-
ments." and q prominent member OF
the Woman's Trade Union made a
speech in which she denounced the
women who oppose equal suffrage.
She said q legislator at Albany had
spoken f%iippantly of the quality Of
woman's brains.
There are many men there" said
Miss O'Reilly, who are no earthly
good. They need the brains Of women.
Think that, as a rule, womsn's brains
are better than mems brains"
Miss Anita Block, secretary Of the
Women's Socialist society, presided at
this meeting. She said that she was
both glad and sad to call attention to
the fact that this was the frs woman
suffrage meeting ever held under the
avowed auspices Of q great political
party.
"The Socialist party" said she, 'is
now tho recognized champion in the
political arena of the women"
Miss Meta Stern, we'll known as a
socialist writer under her pen name
"Hebe" derided the "pampered and
petted women Of the so-called upper
classes who have formed a~nti-suffrage
societies." She said they are foolish
and narrow" and afraid Of RESPONSE
bility.
One thousand women and several
hundred men attended the meeting in
Brooklyn, which enthusiastically en-
dorsed the right of women to vote.
Mrs. Frances Mathew-Frazer, who
presided, declared that If women were
granted the right of suffrage, child
labor would undoubtedly be regulated
on q more humane basis, If permitted
ut all.
