WRITES FINS TO
GUFfEY'S CAREER
Wall Street Once More Puts Her
Quietus on Man Who Was
Too Ambitious.
HIS STORY IS SENSATIONAL
Nephew OF Colonel cuffey, Who Made
and Lost Many Fortunes, Himself
Old Some Very Spectacular
Things With Oil Stocks.

New York.-When the directors re-
signed the other day and the Tide
water OIL company. Standard on
subsidiary, thus got control Of the
Guffey-Gillespie Oil company, insiders
knew Wall street once more had writ
ten 'fnis" to the career Of man who
bit off more than he could chew"
The victim was Joe Guffey, more
formally Joseph F. Guffey OF Pitts
burgh, and fully described thus:
President OF the Guffey Gillespie Oil
company, with leases covering 10000
acres In the Mid-Continent and Texas
fields.
President of the Atlantic Gulf Oil
corporation. controlled by the Atlantic,
Gulf & West Indies Steamship lines
and operating around Tampico.
President of the Colombia syndicate,
controlled by Guffey- Gillespie and
"Agwi" and owning 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
allen property custodian.
Uncle Lost Many Fortunes.
Back of this announcement lies
story seldom equaled In American
business and political biography. 1t
parallels the story of another Guffey Of
q preceding generation. For Joe Cuff

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
rsorganized as the Guffey Gillespie OIL
company, 1t had become one Of the
largest In the midcontinent field. In
addition, Guffey & Gillespie. with 9TH
er Pittsburghers, acquired $4,000
acres of oil lands In Colombia, and the
Colombia syndicate was formed.
z Then "Agwr entered the Mexican
feld, organized the Atlantic Gulf on
company, and elected Guffey president.
Boosted Stock to $50.
Last summer Guffey found the bears
opt cunning for Guffey- Gillespie stock.
although II had earned 50 a share the
year before. Guffey began the fight
which ended Tuesday in total defeat.
Putting in almost every dollar he had
and borrowing S2.OOO.OOO he formed
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 80. 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
control. Guffey, Gillespie and the old
directors attempted TO fight for places
In the reOrganiZed company. Tide
water asked for their designations, and
called for a receiver.
