The argument over the Perkins inn
broglio was long and heated Chair
man Stanley and the Democrats were
lnsistent that he answer the questions
Nput to him regarding campaign con-
tributions, and Attorney Lindnbury
and the Republican committeeman
were Just as strenuously opposed TO
forcing him TO a reply. The COM
imlttee was unable to complete the ar
lgument of the case and adjourned
for luncheon without reaching a con-
.cluslon.
During the executive session argu-
tment between Lindabury and Stanley
became so heated that their voices
reverberated through the corridors
Speculation as to the Anal vote on
the proposition of haling Perkins be-
fore the bar of the house centered
largely about the probable attitude OF

the issue, the committee being COM

and Elwood sold out at large profit.
That year a wire war started In
Pittsburg. Gates and Elwood rushed
there and bought a steel wire mill
for $1,000.000. Just 43 seconds later
they bought another for 5000, 900.
Gates jumped a fast train and rushed
to Cleveland, where he took over the
Cleveland rolling mills, las a base of
operations" for 5000, 900. Gates and
Elwood were buying mad" Gates
went to Massachusetts and bought
Elwood went to Cincinnati and
bought. In the week between Christ

one week later the American Steel

Then Gates went into the market.
From 1897 to 1901 was his prlms.
His profits have been swollen by ru-

had to rent a good many safe deposit

after a plan between Judge E. II.
Gary, Garritt II. TenBroek and Gates
to combine steel and wire mills into
a great trust, had failed. Gates and
Gary organized the Consolidated Steel

,of $4,000. 900. This he later sold out
to the American Steel & Wire COM

stock OF the American, admitting that
he received large profit for the un-

was. h.rj
Gates was really forgetful, so he
said. Opce. he carried a check for

after Gates descent upon Louisville
