Senator Frye belonged to the old
school of Republican statesmen, and
for many years he was a power in the
senate, often being chosen president Of
that body, pro tempore, in the absence
of the vice president. He resigned that
position at the beginning of the pres

the election of his successor, the choice
of the Republicans having fallen by
caucus agreement upon Senator Gal

about the first definite contest over the

ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
AMERICAN FINANClERS
DIES IN PARIS.
BEGAN LIFE AS SMALL MERCHANT
He Was Identified With Big Stock
Deals.-Last Public Appearance
Was at the Steel Trust
Investigation.

American financler, died IN the arms
Of his wife and son Charles G. Gates.
The end was peaceful and it seemed
as though he was falling asleep.
Others present at the bedside besides
the members of the family were Doc
tors eros and Reeves.
His iron constitution and courageous
resistance, backed by every resource
Of medical science, failed to save Mr..
Gates. He had battled for weeks hero
lcally with disease of the kidneys and
when it was believed that he was al
most sure to recover contracted pneu-
monia.
A Bold Financier.
The death of John Warne Gates re.
moves in his prime one of the boldest
and most successful American finan-
ciers and picturesque figure in the
field of sport. Since 1880, when he
organized the Southern Wire Com
pany, Mr.. Gates had been man with
whom it was necessary to reckon in
the particular industries, affairs to
which he had given his attention. In
recent years he found relaxation from
business cares in becoming proml-
men patron of the American turf.
Mr.. Gates began his business career
as proprietor of hardware store at
Turner Junction, ILL.,, near the farm
where he was born, in 1856. His pa
rents were Asel A. and Mary Gates.
At St. Charles, ILL.,, In 1874, he married
Dellora R. Baker, who, with their son,
Charles G. Gates, survive.
From a hardware merchant, Mr..
Gates became interested in barbed
wire, first as salesman and later as
a manufacturer at st. Louis. Follow
ing the Southern Wire Company, he
organized the Braddock (Pen.) Wire
Company, which in 1892 he combined
with other wire concerns as the Con-
solidated Steel and Wire Company.
Six years later this was sold to the
Federal Steel Company. In 1897 he or.
ganized the American Steel and Wire
Company, now a subsidiary of the
United States Steel Corporation.
He was known as shrewd specula'
tor in Wall Street through many ven
lures, notably the coup by which he
obtained control of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. He was director
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
Western Maryland Company, Tennes

and Steel Company of New Jersey. and
other concerns.
Last Public Appearance.
The last public appearance of Mr.
Gates was in connection with the steel
trust investigation in Washington in
the spring, when he gave graphic de
scription Of the formation of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation. Before
the corporation was organized, he told
the Stanley committee there had beer
q gentleman's agreement between the
various steel concerns, but Andy
(meaning Andrew Carnegie) would al
ways kick them over.
He told also how H. C. Frick and w
H. Moore had paid Mr.. Carnegie
100000 for an option on the Car
negie plant and how, when their plar
failed, Carnegie had kept the $1,000,

COUNT OF THE SUPPLY OF TIM

Special TO The journal

Caryvilie, Dec. 6.-After operating
for nearly fifteen years saving ap
proximately one hundred thousand feet
of lumber daily, the big saw mill plant
Of the George E. Wood Lumber Co.
will cease operations at once, the rea-
son being that all available timber has
been utilized. Besides the milling plant
proper the railroad running north from
Westville is included in the property.
This plant is possibly one of the
wealthiest in the state and the ceasing
of operations will be regretted.
1t is thought, however. that leases
have already been let to turpentine op-
orators to turpentine the small timber,
of which there is large amount still
standing on the lands which have been
cut over by the mill owners. This
smaller timber is suitable for the ma
val stores people but it is to small
for the mill men.
