Tom Lawson Quits Lifelong
 Fight; Loses To Many Old
 Opponents In Wall Street
Poet Muckraker Author Fnancer and Politician Goes Into Seclusion; Played Shoe-String Stakes in Youth and
 Amassed Fortune by Spectacular Methods
BY JOHN O'DONNEL

BOSTON, Mass, Oct, 9.-Tom Law son, Boston's most picturesque bull o1- orator in the days of frenzied finance, has received d goring from old State and Wall Street enemies that may end his vivid career in America's financial history.
 According to information from inti- mates, Lawson is definitely through.
 The author of "Frenzied Finance" and Friday the Thirteenth" the poet, muckraker, politician, yachtsman and breeder and vivid character who frightened the life of the city editors with a sensational story week, has fought his last battle, on the stock eX- change.
 Lawson has gone into seclusiOn pending the auction sale of Dream wold. his famous estate.
 His sensational career began when he was 13 years old-an office-bOy in State Street brokerage house. Now, at G5, the fortune which has been tossed into the financial arena ini a score of bittre battles, has been wiped out and his famous estate in Egypt, on the South Shore, has been put up at auction to liquidatc the Lawson lia- bilities.
 Played Shie-String Stake Lawson became the P. T. Barnum of the Stock Exchange. He began bis career playing shoe-string stakes on ips which he he picked up in the firm

exchange battle with roar and a whoop-to advertise his intentions the battle personal scrap with other i financiers and keep delighted public informed of the progress with full page letters in the newspapers.
 At 30, he combined literature with gambling on the exchange. His first book was 'The Krank," published in 1887.
 Only four copies Were published of his second work, "The History of the Republican Party" which appeared ! the next year. One of these, Lawson presented to President Harrison, an other to Vice President Morton, a ! third was given to the Library of Con- gress. The only remaining copy was retained ythe author.
 From that time on there was a con- tipuous out-pouring of magazine arti- cles, poems, political opinions and - above all-his letters and advertise ments in the newspapers.
 Never Tired Writing
 After several bitter feuds on the
 
 stock exchange, Lawson began his fa- nous series of undertaking articles, 'Frenzied Finance" He was the first to apply the craze for undertaking to the stock exchange. These articles appeared in Everybody's Magazine in 1904 and made the author a national figure with their savage personal at tack on prominent members of the New York and Boston stock exchanges. These were followed by Lawson's full-length novel Friday the Thir- teenth," romance of State Street 'built around that 1904 panic
 Lawson had a tremendous following among the general public as a result of these articles in which he appeared as lone warrior battling single handed against the might of Wall Street.
 This prestige made possible some of his greatest coups. A newspaper ad that he would put certain law stock "at 60 in 60 days brought a flood of money from small investors to his sup. port. The battle would be advertised Daily as the stock crept up, Lawson would issue bulletins in the newspa- per. Finally, with the city in a frenzy o feXcitement, the stock would cross 60 and the editors would publish the story with big headlines.
 Won Campaign by Gameness
 Lawson, since the war, had not been active in the market. His latest plunge into the spotlight was his political ven ture when he blocked Secretary of War Weeks from election to the U. S. Senate and made possible the election of eSnatOr David l. Walsh.
 This political victory was won by a broken arm. Weeks, a former Boston .financier of the firm of Hornblower and Weeks, and Lawson had little love for one another. Weeks reelection to the U. $. Senate seemed assured. Then Lawson entered the fight as an inde- pendent Republican. On a whirlwind

BAsE BALL ORGANIZED
Local American Legion Post 10
Have Charge of Askev
Team.

At the American Legion Post
meeting Monday evening prepar-
atory steps were taken to have
a good base ball team in Askov
again this summer. Emil Chris
tensen was chosen manager and
a captain will be selected later.
The Legion boys have been
around with a subscription list
and 90 far $68 has been SUBJ
scribed to help finance the team.
1t is most probable that the
Pine County Pioneer Base Ball
Association (the Stump League)
will function again this year, but
perhaps with only six teams.
instead of eight as last year.
And it is also planned to arrange
the schedule so that each team
has every third Sunday off which
is a much more satisfactory
manner. Secretary A. B. Fitz-
loft of Finlayson. will call a
meeting of representatives from
the various teams interested in
the league, in the near future.
The Askov boys are anxious to
get the league agoing again and
this also seems to be the SEN
timent from the various towns.
It is understood that Sandstone
will not be in the Stump
league" this year.
