Wall Street Once More Puts Her
Quietus on Man Who Was
Too Ambitious.
HIS STORY IS SENSATIONAL
Nephew Of Colonel Guffey, Who Made
and Lost Many Fortunes, Himself
Did Some Very Spectacular
Things With Oil Stocks.

New York.-When the directors re-
signed the other day and the Tide
water OIL company, a Standard Oil
subsidiary, thus got control of the
Guffey Gillespie Oil company, insiders
knew Wall street once more had writ
ten ''finis" to the career of man who
'bit off more than he could chew"
The victim was Joe Guffey, more
formally Joseph +. Guffey of Pitts
burgh, and fully described thus:
President of the Guffey Gillespie Oil
company with leases covering 100000
acres In the Mld-COntinent and Texas
fields.
President of the Atlantic Gulf OIL
corporation, controlled by the Atlantic,
Gulf & West Indies Steamship lines
and operating around Tamplco.
President of the Colombia syndicate,
controlled by Guffey-Gillespie and
"Agwi" and owning a million acres of
oil lands along the Magdalena river in
South America.
Director of Reliance Life Insurance
company, and several Pittsburgh
banks.
Democratic national committeeman
from Pennsylvania, promoter and
"angel' of A. Mitchell Palmer's last
presidential boom.
Former director of sales for the
alien property custodian.
Uncle Lost Many Fortunes.
Back Of this announcement lies a
story seldom equaled in American
business and political biography. 1t
parallels the story of another Guffey of
preceding generation. For Joe Cuff
fey is a nephew of old Col. James NJ.
Guffey, also of Pittsburgh, said to have
made and lost more fortunes In oil
than any other person in the United
States.
BY 1919 when the partnership was
reOrganized as the Guffey-Gillespie OIL
company, 1t had become one of the
largest in the mldcontinent field. In
addition, GulTey & Gillespie, with 9TH
er Plttsburghers, acquired 125,000

acres Of oil lands in Colombia, and the
Colombia syndicate was formed.
Then "Agwi" entered the Mexican
field, organized the Atlantic Gulf OIL
company, and elected Guffey president.
Boosted Stock to $50.
Last summer Guffey found the bears
out cunning for Guffey- Gillespie stock,
although 1t had earned so a share the
year before. Gufrey began the fight
which ended Tuesday in total defeat.
Putting In almost every dollar he had
and borrowing $2,0OO,000, he formed a
pool to peg" the stock with New York
and Pittsburgh friends.
Late in February Guffey's pool tried
to rout the bears and boosted the stock
from % to 30. The effort exhausted
his strength, and the bears, buying In
New York and selling by wire in Pitts
burgh, flooded the latter market. When
the price reached 20 the Pittsburgh
banks called their loans.
The Tidewater Oil company took
over the stock held as collateral and
bought enough more to give 1t voting

COtt on L Dresses
Rich in Design

One always feels with the approach
OF each new spring and summer season
that the smnrt Parisienne this time
may place the stamp Of her approval
on the truly summer dress Of lingerie
material or novelty cotton. A well
dressed French woman, notes fashion
writer, can only consider her frocks
made Of these light and summery fab
rics as suitable to be worn at the
races ut DeauviIIe in August, on the
tennis court, or around the tea table
on the lively lawns surrounding her
chateau, where she spends few weeks
and slightly larger number Of week.
ends that can re spared from pressing
social duties elsewhere.
Despite the limited number of wom-
en- who wear such dresses on these
hardly frequent occasions every
spring, In oil the big collections a de-
cided number Of this type Of dress Is
shown. The Frenchwoman seems to
consider any summer event and all
sports from peculiarly social angle,
SO she has not great use for this sim
pie summer frock so beloved by her
American sisters.
Costumes Vie With Simple Dresses.
When she does find real summer
dress. which she considers fitting for
one OF her complicated midsummer
afternoons, one can rest assured that
It is very beautiful with distinct
cachet and truly French charm; a
charm perhaps In intricacy Of cut or
detail or In daring and successful
ly mannish simplicity.
Dresses of this type made by the
