ADVANCE ON FEEDERS HELD UP
Proposed Raise of rs Per Cent in
Freight Rates Suspended.
COMMISSION TO MAKE INQUIRY
Railroads Operating Between Mis-
souri, and MississippI Want to .
Charge same Rate on All
Glasses of Cattle.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Freight tariffs,
which increase by rs per cent the charges
for transportation Of feeding cattle" and
sheep between Missouri river and .Missls-
sippi river transfers. including Chicago,
we're suspended today by the Interstat tie
Commerce commission until December 10,
1911.
The proposed rates were filed with the
commission, by the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad and the Iowa Central railway,
effective August Is, and by the Chicago,
Burlington g. Quincy railroad effective
September 1. 1t is probable that others
will file similar rates, which will be sus-
pended as they reach the commission.
For many years freight tariffs filed by
the railways between the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers have provided that
feeding cattle" or stock cattle might
be shipped at rs per cent of the rate
charged on fat cattle" the reason for
the difference being that the feeders are
concentrated during certain seasons at cat
tie markets for sale to stock raisers and
then reshipped to the ranges to be fat
tened.
On shipments of this kind the railways
obtain three hauls on the same cattle from
substantially the same markets coming
and going as feeders and returning from
the ranches as "fat cattle"

sketch OF Life.

The death of John Warne Gates removes
in his prime one OF the boldest and most
successful American finAnciers and a pic
turesque figure in the field OF sports. Since
1880. when he organised the Southern Wine
company, Mr.. Gates had been a man with
whom 1t was necessary to reckon in the
particular industrial affairs to which he had
given his attention. In recent years he
found relaxation from business cares in
becoming prominent patron Of the Ameri-
can turf.
Mr.. Gates began his business career as
proprietor of a hardware store at Turner
Junction, H.. near the farm where he was
born in 1856 His parents were Ansel A
and Mary Gates. At st. Charles, ILL.,. in
1874 he married Dellora r. Baker, who
with a son. Charles q. Gates. survives.
The family has maintained a home In

CLOSES SPECTACULAR CAREER
Death Removes In His Prime One of
the BoIdest Spectators and
Plcturesque Figure in
... Sporting World. ..

PARIS, Aug 9.-Johu W. Gates, the
American fInancier, died at $40 o'clock
this morning in the arms OF his wife and
! his son. Charles g. Gatee
The end was peaceful and It seemed as
though he was falling asleep. The usual
restoratives failed in the last crisis.
Others present at the bedside besides the
| family were Drs. Gros and Reeves.
| His iron constitution and courageous re-
sistance, backed by every resource of med
| ical science were unavailing. He had
battled for weeks heroioaly with dis
ease of the kidneys and, when 1t was be-
lievsd that he was almost sure to recover,
contracted pneumonia.
Several times the patient was reported to
! be at the point Of death. but with the
aid of powerful stirnulants rallied. The
pneumonia and kidney troubles had
ameliorated somewhat Monday, but early
Tuesday morning there vas a recurrence
of the congestion of the kidneys which was
followed by further attack Tuesday noon.
Tuesday night Mr.. Gates suffered a gem
eral relapse and gradually sank until
death interviewed.
Mrs. Gates and the son. CHI 50 @. Gates,
had been at the bedside almost constantly
since Mr.. Gates Illness was pronounced
serious
VIII Not AAfect Stock Market.
All arrangements for the disposition Of
the body have been made by Harry st.
Francis Black, president Of the United
States Realty and Improvement company
Of New York. Mr.. Black said:
Mr. Gates loved life and said that
he wished to live. He wanted to do
things in life. Our people had an interest
In his picturesque personality, but they
may not have perceived his strength OF
mind those who served on directory
boards with him. He was frequently spoken
of as 'plunger, but his operations were
always founded on wonderfur studies IN
figures. Wall street will not see his like
again for some time"
Mr.. Black said that the death Of Mr..
Gates ought not to affect the stock market
because the financier had not operated ex-
tensively Of late. but had CONSERVATORY
placed his fortune largely in substantial
securities. Some of those here who were
near Mr.. Gates estimate that his estate
will be found to be nearer $4,000 600 than
$40 200.
The body OF Mr. Gates will be placed in
a vault at the INSTRUMENTATION Amer
lean church in the Rue de Berri, where It
will remain until taken aboard a steamer
for removal to the United States. The
funeral services will be held at this church
on Saturday.
The body will be taken home, probably
on the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse, which
will sail from Cherbourg on Wednesday Of
next week. It was on this same vessel that
Mr.. Gates had planned to sail for New
York in the first week of July.

morning that he, with another man,
caught the 1919 Erie passenger train
at Hammond last night and when they
got to Columbia avenue the man with
him took SIS away from him and then
threw him from the tender of the en-
gine.
He was unable to give the mans
name or address this morning and said
he had never seen him before until they
got on the train together at Hammond.
He claimed that he had been drink
ing and the theory of the police Is that
he was not robbed. but fell of the train
at Columbia avenue. He said he slept
all night, but instead of being asleep
he was rendered unconscious by the
fall as he was in a semi-consc fous con-
dition when found this morning.
His empty pocketbook was found
near his body this morning and 1t IS
believed by the police that IL he was
robbed 1t was while he was lying on
the right OF way unconscious when
some hobo came along and took the
money out OF his pocket.
McGinnis tried to drag himself up
to the roadway, as was shown by the
marks in the sand, but he was unable
TO go more. than the ten feet and could
not reach Columbia avenue.
