HIS HUGE FORTUNE

Money in Wall Street, But
Nothing Like Reports.

By Cable to The Star and New York World
PARIS, December 20.-Osborn Wood
says the fortune he Is credited with
having gained in Wall Street is a
myth. He admits he made some win
nings by cable transactions. but de-
clares he never made the big killings
estimated by friends q his wife's
family.
Woods friends say his wife had the
money by which he made several
speculative gains, one Of which was
made recently on a bVll market, but
that none of these gains approached
the sums printed, which Woods
friends declare to be fanciful They
say his last winning pulled him out
Of difficulties. as a few weeks ago he
was less affiuent than usual.
When his wife went home a few
months ago 1t was rumored she would
sue for divorce. Wood refused to-
day to talk about the divorce or to
say whether he had made use of his
wife's money.
I've won somo money on stocks"
was al he was willing to say. He Is
reputed to have lost money on other
forms OF chance as fast as he makes

where there Is gambling, but he keeps
TO himself what luck he may have
had over the green tables.
Asked about his speculations, he

so easy as 1 look"
