The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-07-08

Tarrytown property. To those who knew the Oil Kings desire to spend the summer at Cleveland without in tarruption, these excuses for his
 change of plans are regarded as triv- ial. The real reason for his return is said in the financial district to be his insistence that he be consulted on every feature of the reorganization of the trust, recently ordered by the United States Supreme Court. Dur ing his stay here he has been in con- Stant consultation with those who have been drafting the plan for the disso- lution of the old organization and it's rehabilitation in the form approved by the court. When this is done it is expected that it will be the same old rose under neW name.
 "Davy" Johnson, the former track
 pIunger and one time owner of Rose ben who died here the other day was
 one of the most picturesque figures on
 the American turf He was imbued
 with the true gambling spirit and new
 CT recognized moment in his long
 career of ups and downs when he was
 'out of the game" There were prob
 ably half a dozen times when he found
 himself down to his last copper but
 he never lost his nerve when misfor-
 tune visited him and so far as the outward world was concerned was no
 more perturbed over his losses than if they represented pennies instead of dollars Several times credited with being a millionaire, he was always the same, when flush or broke. Pas sionately fond of tipping pennies at a thousand dollars a throw, the story is told by his old friends how he lost $11,000 in this way riding home from the Sheepshead Bay race track a few years ago on a Long Island Railroad train. When the race tracks went out of business in this state he en- gagged in the stock brokerage game and is said to have been very successful. In the heydey of racing here Johnson shared with "Pittsburg Phil,' Riley Grannon and John W. Gates, the rep utation of being one of the heaviest plungers on the local turf, often prof. fering more money on his choice than the bOOkmakers considered it prudent for them to accept on single race.
 Now that he has been indicted by the United States Court for alleged | participation in the conduct of the l Wire Trust, it is believed here that 1 Frank Jay Gould, uncle of Lady De- cies, will give up his effort to acquire | control of the Gaiety Theatre in Lon- don and come back to disentang1e | himself from the web the government | claims to have woven about him and | his eighty associates. Gould, al- |
  Trust, has spent most of his time in England since his first wife divorced | him and according to advices from the English capital is anxious to dictate the policy of the Gaiety Theatre, in which he has become a large stock holder, in deference to the wishes of his present spouse The latter, un- der her maiden name of Edith Kelly, was a member of the Tn Havana and | several other musical shows prior to her marriage to Gould. In the inter- est of her old friends on the stage it is generally understood she aspires to oust George Edwardes from the man. with which "The keisha;" "The Run away Gfrl;'' San Toy'' and some of the most popular musical comedies in recent years have been associated. The government is said to be preparing an elaborate case against Gould and his over their. indictment. While con- senting to fines in most of the feder- al prosecutions against the trusts that have run afoul of the government officials of the department of Justice in this case say they will ask for fail sentences for those convicted.
 There is certain sense of grim humor in the institution by the gov- last week of it's suit to dis solve the Magazine Trust" All of the defendants named in the federal citation against the trust have been among the "muckrakers' for the last five or six years and are . generally given the credit for the wide spread feeling of hostility that has of ate been engendered against organ zed capital through the country, as reflected in the tonnes of restrictive egislation enacted by the various '
