Officers and Men Pay Loving
Tribute to Inflated FLYER

The body of Gordon D. Gates, SER
geant major at Souther Field, who
was killed when he dropped from his
plane in an unexplained accident at
the close of the aerial circus Thurs
day afternoon, was started for home
and his last resting place at Flush
ing, L. l., Friday evening, clad in the
full regalia of an officer the right
to wear which Sergeant Gates had
received Wednesday when his COM
mission as second lieutenant arrived
from Washington. The body, with
the casket draped in the folds of an
American flag, was accompanied by
Sergeant Ehrgott as special military
escort. The body should reach his
nome in time for funeral today.
Impressive, but brief services were
held for the dead flyer at the post
Y. M. C. A. Friday evening. Secre-
tary Thomas, of the Y. NJ. C. A., read
from the scriptures and quartet
from among the comrades of the
deceased sang. Colonel RAIDER, COM
manding officer, spoke feelingly of
the high esteem in which Sergeant
Major Gates was held, not only by
himself, but by all of the officers and
men of the camp, and paid special
tribute to his loyalty to his superiors
and to the service and the flag.

occasion, and which so expressed the
sentiments of all OF the camp per-
sonnell that it's publication was asked.
The paper follows:
A Sad Occasion.
"My Friends, We have INST here
on one of the saddest occasions that
has ever been known in the history
of Souther Field. There is not a
person present who, l am sure, does
not feel a personal loss-that friend
has been taken from them forever.
You will miss the glad smile and
pleasant greeting that was always a
part of the life of Sergeant Gordon
Dow Gates. 1t has happened so sud
denly that, as yet, we are unable
to grasp the magnitude of our loss or
to realize that it is forever.
'sThe Bible says that In the midst
of life we are in death. 1t seems to
me that the idea is perhaps conveyed
in a way you will better understand
in one Of the poems of James Whit
comb Riley. He says:
''Say goodbye or howdy-do,
What's the difference twixt the two?
Grasp the hands you'd rather hold;

Thaw their weight in solid gold;
Slips their grip while greeting you,
Say goodbye or howdy-do.'
81 will review briefly the life of
Gordon Dow Gates as | have been
able to learn it from the military re-
cords available and from associates
who knew him even better than |. He
was born on Staten Island, New York,
% years ago. He grew up in the at
mosphere of the City of New York
and received his high school education
there. Later he attended City Col
lege with the intention of specializing
in training necessary for business
career.
eve find that he answered the call
if his country by enlisting in the
aviation section of the navy, but la
ter transferred to the land air ser
vice.
Skillful, Intelligent Filler
Among the flying officers of
Souther Field, he was regarded as
skillful, and flyer who used dis
erection and intelligence in all of his
flights. 1t was welcome news to ev-
cry member of the post when it was
announced Wednesday that Sergeant
Gates had received his commission as
End lieutenant, R. M. A., and would
be discharged to the list of reserve
officers holding that rank.
"You will recall, one short week
ago, at our aerial circus that the
looping contest was won by Ser
geant Gates in competition with two
of the most expert airmen of the post.
He was pleased with his success, as
we all are pleased by good work well
done. In his Office at headquarters
he supervised the work incident to
his position as sergeant major and
performed a large portion of this
work himself. He was looking forward
with keen anticipation to the part he
should have in the circus of Thursday.
He took part in the first formation
and piloted one of the ships without
any sign of fear or nerve strain. La
ter he went up again and performed
series Of acrobatic stunts for the
edifcation of the crowd.
He was man of deep religious
belief and had stated that if he did
his part in living a life that was ac-
ceptable to the standards Of God and
man there was higher power than
himself to protect. Pinned to the
wall of his office, beside the desk

Although the cotton market was
sharply up Saturday, Octoger and
December options on the New York
Exchange reaching new high marks
since last fall, there was very little
selling by holders in Americas. A
price of 34.3-8 cents also high for
this year, was being offered for
good middling spot cotton, but it was
said by warehousemen that most of
the cotton was being held in lots for
a price of 35 cents for the lot, which
would require a market Of 35 IL for
good middling to move it. Some is
ready to sell at an average OF 81
cents, but the market was shade
too low to take it Saturday.

Two keokuk Boys in Wild Dash Out
Bondeau Endanger Their Lives
and Many Others, as
Well.
POLICE HAVE NAMES
If Investigation Fastens Blame on
+ These TWO, Chief Hennemann is
Prepared to File
Charges.

| The two Keokuk young men VINO
were using the streets as speedway
| last night and endangering their
| lives, as well as the lives of their
| guests in their cars, by reckless driv-
| ing and racing, may have to explain
matters to the police and the Judge:
| Chief Hennemann has the names OF
the two boys who were driving the
cars which speeded out Blondeau
street last night, narrowly missed
hitting a car coming down Blondeau
street. and almost sideswiped a car
at Ninth and Blondeau streets.
'If we find these are the boys who
were doing that speeding last night,
I certainly intend to file charges
against them" was the chiefs com.
ment this morning. One of the night
patrolmen secured the names Of the
speeders right after they made their
wild and certainly uncalled-for dash
out the street.
One Of the cars was a brand new
one, and some people who saw the
two machines claim that there was
no license plate on the rear or the
car. This in itself is serious OF
tense, and may be added to that OF
speeding, if it can be substantiated.
The racing occurred between lo:2o
and II o'clock The two cars went
out Blondeau street at breaknech
speed. At Ninth street a car was
coming up from Main street, but the
driver saw the speeders in time to
turn his own car sharply into the
gutter. Further down the street a
collision was narrowly averted with
a car coming leisurely along
The cars raced out to the ooule-
ward, it is understood.

New York Times: When Andrew
Carnegie had made UP his mind that
certain things should be done, and be-
lieved it could be done with money.
he was not the man to hesitate as to
his own fitness to do 1t. Years passed
before it was thought wise to publish
the fact that, at the close Of the
Spanish war, he went to the White
House and proposed to pay the peo-
pie OF the United States $20,O00.0OO
for the privilege of giving the Phillip
pines back to themselves. Even today
