uguese, he changed his name when he
came to this country, taking the name
of his employer. His real name was
Jacintho.
The future wooden king was two
years old when his family moved to
New Bedford, the father going as
steward on the boat that runs to
Martha's Vineyard. lie was i'll with
consumption, however, and came
ashore to work as a 1aborer, thinking
the outdoor work would benefit him.
He died when William was eleven
years old.
The boy worked and went to school,
too. He got as far as the New Bed :
ford High school, but was never grad
uated; the need for money was too
great. He got a position in the count
ing room of the Wamsutta mill, first
as messenger, then clerk. Three
years he spent thus, and then ex-
pressed desire to learn how the
work was done. He was transferred
to the inside of the mill, and here
spent three years more.
These six years in the mill gave
Wood a reputation for ability, and j.
A. Beauvals offered him a position in
his newly formed banking house.
There he got~a training which was
the real foundation of his later sue
cess as a manufacturer.
His opportunity to get back into
the mill business came when Otis n.
Pierce of New BEDFORD undertook the
reorganization of some Fall River
mills which had lost money. Mr.
Pierce invited Wood to go with him
as his assistant and paymaster. Wood
stayed in Fall River for six years.
working in various mills and keeping
in close touch with their financial and
manufacturing administrations. He
made many friends among the bust
ness men of New Bedford, and they
started to raise money to build a
mill, of which Wood was to be gen
eral manager.
He was on the road selling wool
ems when Thomas Sampson, a Rhode
Island manufacturer was engaged to
take charge of the Washington mill
in Lawrence. Many stories are told
Of Woods abilities as a salesman.

Boston, Sept. 18.-There Is much of
romance in the story of William Wood,
head of the wooden industry in the
United States who is now awaiting
trial on charge of planting dyna-
mite where an explosion would have
killed scores of people in crowded
tenements. He started life in poverty;
today he is many times a millionaire.
Wood has often achieved the SEEM
ingly impossible. Poorest of the poor,
he was left the sole support of his
family at the age of eleven. He learn
ed not only the working of the ma
chinery in the mills of New Bed
ford as a boy, but he also mastered
the details of business in a mill count
ing room and then sn banking
house.
He managed to sell cloth for New
Bedford mill at a price lower than
his competitors paid for raw wool.
He went to moribund mill in Law
renee and rescued 1t from death. He
showed DR.. Frederick Aver. a patent
medicine manufacturer who had been
forced to foreclose on the Washing
ton mill when it could not repay its
loan, how to finance the proposition.
He made a man who had been stuck
with bad proposition put another
million dollars into it and so come out
a winner. He built the biggest wool
en- mill in the world when the market
for wooden cloth did got demand more
production, bonded it for at least its
full cost and made it pay. He forced
his way into q combination of wooden
mills, which amounted to a trust, and
presently forced out the organizer of
that trust and made himself its presi-
dent Then, last winter, during the
strike at Lawrence, he declared that
1T was absolutely impossible to pay
higher wages and then paid higher
wages.

William M. Wood was born April
Is, 1851, in Edgartown (Martha's
Vineyard, Mass. His father was Il
Portuguese from the island of Pico in
the Azores, whence so many Portu
guese come to New Bedford. He was
steward on a sailing vessel for a time.
Then he married and made his home
in Edgartown. Like many other Port
