 Gould Got Start In This Country As Day Laborer

well before he was thirty he was managing firm employing 120 clerks.
 He left New York in 1908 to start on his own as a marine insurance broker in London and soon was doing a big trade, with branches on the Continent and agencies in Brussels and Berlin. The war, however, played havoc with reinsurance, and Gould's business suffered to such an extent that he had to look for some other field for his abilities. So he went in for shipbrokering and in 1915 be- came 8 shipowner.
 He was then a poor man. Public confidence in him brought in all the capital he needed for his ventures and he had keen notions as to freight rates, insurance, the management of vessels and the tendencies of the shipping industry.
 He knew the German reinsurance business from A to 2. and when Ger many was carrying on her ruthless
 submarine campaign he drew the British Governments attention to the
 fact that by marine risks being rein sured in Switzerland and other neu-
 tra1 countries, with further reinsur- ance in Germany the enemy was get ting to know shipping movements His service in tracing how the enemy was securing information was record ed at the time.
 The son of a working man, this English "Gould" does not admit that has has passed out of his class. He seldom puts in less than sixteen hours a day, but he challenges any one te say that he works harder. Some day he declares, he will lead a campaign for an eight hour maximum day fo1 shipownerS.
 He holds many public positions 1 The seamen asked that he should be ! the independent chairman of th5 l shipowners and themselves. In tha1 capacity he has thrown his influence 1 in favor of British crews in British ships At one meeting the seameT were arguing about work on board ship. Gould gave his opinion abou | it at once.

discontinued On the forenoon of these days no one is allowed to enter or go out of these offices, and no one within them is permitted to com municate in any way with any one outside of them.
 These are the days when crop es- inmates are made public.
 When one is to come forth. repre- sentatives of the press associations, the telegraph companies and the big newspapers, gather in the press room of the Agricultural department al about noon.

 At 12:30 a gong sounds and thus releases the information on the sheets which are turned over by the report CTS and from them the figures given by them are shouted over the wires Telegraph operators instantly tick the data to all the important marketing centers of the country.

London, March 12.---A former off1ee boy, ordinary sailor and day laboref who in four years has piled up a for tune estimated in millions of pounds sterling, and, having formed his first shipping company in 1915, is now the largest shtpowner in Cardiff, and one of the largest in England, is the subject of more talk at present than perhaps any other man in the com merciaL world of Great Britain.
 He is James Chi1ds Gould, NJ. F., who recently announced a scheme of indignation of shipping companies with a capital of SIS, ,0OO, and, a few days later. made a gift of $56, ,00O to the Cardiff Hospital. Jimmy Gould, as he is known in the shipping world, sits for CardIf, his native city in the House of Commons, where ha attracted particular attention some while back by his determined cam paign against America having pos session of the German interned 1in- CTS
 His first business success was SCOT ed in the United States, where, first a day Iaborer and afterwards an inS1r- ance clerk, he became manager, at an early age, of one of the largest marine reinsurance companies in New York Today, besides being head of the big shipping firm of J. C.. Gould & Co.,, of Cardiff he is a lead ing coal exporter and company direc- tor, as we'll as one of the Lvest wires in the House of Commons, to which he was elected in 1918. He lives at Radyr, near Cardiff, and during the war gave his house there to be used as a hospital for wounded soldiers.
 Born in Cardiff and the son of a workngnan. he got his early educa- tion at a 'eboard schoor'-the board or public schools of Great Britain are generally speaking, attended only by children of the working classes had to leave early in order to help the family exchequer, and started work as an office boy to shipping company. Before he was out of his teens he had begun to make good but he was bent on seeing the world and with a view of doing so, joined a ship bound for South Africa as ar ordinary seaman. He left his shiI at the Cape worked for a while as a clerk to a South African trading firm and then hied him to America the predestined goal of the youthful Briton who aspires to the topmos bougf1s of the tree of big business.
 As a clerk in New York he made full use of his spare time to acquir7 more of the knowledge to be found in books and advanced himself educa- tionaI1y so rapidly and showed srrcf quick judgment and initiative tha1

NAZIMOVA is GIFTED,
NOT TEMPERAMENTAL

Although recognized as the great
est emotional actress in the world,
Nazimova, who is now appearing in
Madame Peacock is one. of the
most normal and likable personalities
off the stage that could be desired.
A New York dramatic critic, after
conversing with her at her studios in
Hollywood, wrote: THAT which made
Nazimova distinguished is the recog-
milton given her in New York as n
Of the foremost living actresses. But
the most remarkable thing about her
is that with all the u for ex-
.aggerating the eccentricities conceded
to be concomitants of genius, she is
a normal, natural woman, with a
clear sense of proportion"
Madame Peacock" from the story
of Rita Weiman, is a Metro release,
directed by Ray C. Smallwood and
photographed by Rudolph Berquist.

.CH|NAMAM'S BRIDE
IS TAKEN FROM HIM
WHITE GIRL, OF TROY, WHO
MARRIED CHINAMAN AT
LEWISTON NOT OF AGE.

Lewiston-Yesterday Amel Olson
of Troy, Idaho filed suit in the dis
trict court to annual the %purported
marriage of his daughter, Nida Of
son, and Willie Fong, the latter a
Chinese. The action cites that Nida
Olson is the minor child of the plain
tiff, is but II years old, that the pur-
ported marriage of the girl in Lewis
ton IN Tuesday last was without the
consent of the parents, these grounds,
the complaint citing, warranting an
nulment of the marriage under the
Idaho statute. Leo McCarty is the
attorney for the plaintiff.
The father came to Lewiston yes
terday forenoon from Troy and i'm
mediately sought out his daughter at
the Columbia lodging house and
caused her to accompany him when
he took steps to have the suit insti-
tuted. The daughter will remain
with the father.
1t appears that the girl came to
Lewiston a few weeks ago from Troy
and secured rooming accommoda-
tions at the Columbia lodging house,
while employed in the Empress cafe,
a restaurant conducted by Chinese
and where Willie Fong was employed
as cook. Mrs. Elizabeth Mathewson,
proprietress of the lodging house,
made the witness affidavit when the
license was secured and was also a
witness at the marriage ceremony,
the Peace Hattabaugh.
The affidavit made by Fong when
the license was secured cited that the
o.~I o,o 10 al @-I ILL
affidavit of the witness, Mrs. Math-
quainted with the parties named in
the above affidavit and that the
statements made r true of her own
knowledge"
The Tribune published Wednesday
morning an account of the marriage
ana it was through the press that the
parents at Troy gained the first
of the action of the daugh-
ter. The case has attracted unusual
attention in Lewiston, being the first
marriage of a Chinese and white ever
recorded here, impression having
been quite general that the Idaho
prohibited such union. How
ever, investigation discloses that the
Idaho statue prohibits only union of
with negroes or mulattoes.
However, hat phase of the law is not
at issue in the pending case but in
stead the matter of age on the part
Of the girl and the affidavits relating
to the same. When the application
was made for the license, County Au-
ditor Barton asked the girl specifi-
ally her age and she replied that she
was 18 years old on October 20 last.
The father contended the girl was
lnder the influence of others and
under such dictates and advice
n Misrepresentation of her age.

''The World and His Wife" Is a
Story of Spain.

The color and passing of modern
Spain is reflected in "The World anc
His Wife," which will be the feature
attraction at the Liberty Theatre
next Monday and Tuesday. The story
which was adapted from a famous
Spanish play, tells of Don Julian and
his beautiful girl-bride, Fedora. AT
ter their marriage, Ernesta, a young
writer, to live with them, and
the world, with Don Alvarez as its
spokesman, starts spreading evil
stories about Fedora and Ernesto.
The result is a duel and a series of
dramatic events that result in the
death of Don Julian and the final
happiness of the young folks.
"The World and His Wife" fea-
lures Alma Rubens, who was recently
seer to great advantage in "Humor-
esque." Montagu Love and CASTOR

rent" effort that helped the republican
campaign just as any other political
propaganda. But republican senators
were quick to suggest that this might
happen on the democratic side without
the power of the democratic leaders to
stop such an enterprise.
Little Value to Certificates.
The examination of all witnesses
revealed how little value attaches to
the certificates filed by the national
committees of both parties showing
campaign expenditures. While in
many instances the national organi-
cation acts as a collection agency for
state committees, and actually turns
back large sums of money for state
uses, both Mr.. Hays and Mr.. Cum
nTings developed the fact that no
body knows how much the state COM
states without making a statement
of any sort to the national organi-
cations.
Mr.. Hays denied absolutely that
the quotas which Gov. Cox has said
were set for flfty-one cities. totaling
more than $S.o00.000, were the repub-
lican figures. He refused to give
the exact quotas. leaving that to Mr..
Upham to supply. In reply to ques-
tions about several states or cities.
Mr.. Hays professed not to remember
a single quota All he would say
was that Gov. Cox's alleged quotas
were false.

frank answers concerning the limita :
tions of campaign funds in federal and
state organizations. In the first place,
Mr. Cummings saw nothing wrong with
Will Hays budget of 100000, but
said he believed anything much beyond
that would be ''manifestly excessive"
He wouldn't agree to Senator Edge S
everything had practically doubled In
cost since the 1915 campaign and that
II both democrats and republicans spent
81. SOC, 600 in that year it would not be
excessive IL they needed much more
than that this year.
Mr.. Cummings said that he believed an
addition of 100000 this year to the
democratic fund Of 100000 in 1916
would be an adequate estimate for 1920
reasoning, the democratic leader brought
out significantly that much money is
wasted in advertising and in other di-
rections In the last weeks OF campaign

competent persons would mean economy

implied that efficiency and the benefits
Of experience would more than make up
in economies what the rise in costs of

Senator Reed Back i'm Party.
Senator Reed jumped back into the
democratic party again and cross-ex-
amined witnesses from the viewpoint of
Gov. Cox. For instance, he compelled
Will Hays to admit that while the re-
publican national committee had MOTH
ing to do either directly or indirectly
with the publication by William Barnes
of New York of q republican campaign
