PAGE TWO YOUNG OFFICER, HARD ATWORK, "IS CONTENTED “Won Fortune on Stock Market | and Lost It at Monte Carlo ‘GETS LABORER'S WAGE “Wood Is Working to Return io : Top, He Tells Newspaper Reporters (By NEA Service) 2 EI Paso, Tex. Sept. 28.—The ‘wheel of fortune is turning again for Osborne Wood. At thé age of 28 the second son of the late General “Leonard Wood has won a_ million, ‘fost it, and is again searching for * sthe road ‘to success. * This time he is looking for the pathway 600 feet underground in a Pecos company coal mine near Albu- ‘querque, N. M._ It is a far ery from the princely life he led in the Phil- tippines only four short years ago. ‘ Days of Glory Four years ago Osborne Wood was ‘a millionaire. His fortune was piled ap by amazing speculations in the stock market, directed by cable from ‘Manila, 15,000 miles from Wall ‘street. Those were the days of his glory. He was only a second lieutenant ‘on the staff of his illustrious father, the governor-general of the Philip- -pines, but he lived as a king. Manila orchestras stopped dead when he en- tered.) Dancing ceased. Musicians struck up “The Star-Spangled Ban- ner” at his approach. He took an active part in Manila’s gay night life. Often the young lieutenant rented an entire floor of the exclusive Baguio hotel to enter- tain his friends with a party. He owned five fine motor cars. Young Wood had an island and a palace all his own. He purchased Mandaloyon, in a bay near Manila, and spent $150,000 in remodeling its ancient Spanish palace and im- proving its South Sea gardens. In- stallation of luxurious appointments in two bathrooms cost $17,000 alone. Source Revealed This grandeur, however, failed to endure. In December, 1923, the source of Lieutenant Wood’s riches was revealed. New York news- papers printed the story; General Wood reported the matter to the secretary of war; the youth was or- dered to cease his operations. It was revealed that between Sep- tember and December, 1923, has rofits had been from $800,000 to $2'350,000. By buying Standard Oil of New Jersey on a “shoestring” just before its sensational 60-point rise he placed himself in a position to do further profitable speculating. His fortune had been won upon in-| y formation supplied by one of the usually despised Wall street tipsters. Wood paid $500 per month, at first, for the service, and later voluntarily raised his assessment to $1,000. Lieutenant Wood’s rise to wealth was a.good “story.” A New York paper sent one of its star men all the way to Manila to ask the young officer how he did it. There were big headlines for many days. Congress clamored for an investi- gation of Lieutenant Wood's sud- defly. acquired riches. Secretary of ‘ar Weeks cabled the young man to quit his speculations. ‘Friends’ Everywhere Lieutenant Wood resigned from the army and returned to the United States. Everywhere he went he en- countered hundreds who wanted to help him spend his riches. Finally he went to Monte Carlo. There the roulette wheels swallowed the fortune that the tickers of New York had produced. Wood’s fair-weather friends de- serted him and, without a whimper, he embarked for the United States. Florida’s real estate boom was then at its height. Wood invested i { Weather Report ‘Temperature at 7 a.m. ... Highest yesterday Lowest last night Precipitation’to 7 a.m. . Highest wind velocity ....

Domestic trouble was added to his other woes, and he was divorced. In 1927 his father, ruler of the Ehlippines and twice a contender for the Republican‘ nomination for president, died. Mourns Father He bitterly reproached himself, and wandered disconsolately from place to place. Some six months ago he came to New Mexico on one of his wander- ings from coast to coast. At Albu- querque he noticed long lines of coal cars on the sidings. Some one ex- lained that there were mines near, in which men toiled hard and long. ‘o Work in Mines | Wood decided that he had found | the train, traded his white shirts for blue ones, and went to work in one of the mines. He worked eight hours daily with pick and drill. In return he received a laborer’s wage and corns on the palms of his hands. He had forgot- ten his troubles, however, which was what he was attempting to do. He would have sed unnoticed among the other grimy laborers had not the 111th cavalry of the New Mexico national guard conducted a recruiting campaign in the vicinity. Wood decided to enlist and spend encampment at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Tex. On the train with other miners coming to camp young Wood was recognized by a Gallup, N. M., Newspaper man and his secret dis- covered. ‘Hard work is good for the soul,” explains Wood. “That’s why I have chosen the work of a miner. I in- tend to get back on top some day. I don’t know just when or how yet. Calluses “All of us are looking for the top and intend to find the way there. For the present I am content with the wages and work of a laborer.” “Is your work hard?” Wood was In answer he showed the palms of his hands, marked with calluses.

Early gains of 1 to & points were largely wiped out and in many cases re- placed by losses of 1 to 7 points.

GUARDS NATIONAL GOOD, HOOVER CLAIMS Republican Candidate Says Party Has Always Discour- aged Sectionalism Washington, Sept. 28.—(#)—Ad- dressing a delegation of first voters from the Virginians who called to- day at his headquarters, Herbert Hoover said the Republican party had always been the party of action nefit of the country at large, “without regard to sectional or to special interest.” The Republican presidential nom- inee declared also that his. party was ever young with each new gen- eration, and, because in every ex- panding cycle of the country’s ad- vance it had caught the step of prog- ress, it had marched in the lead in bringing about those things which were for the greatest good of the greatest number. “I am very glad you have come to see me,” Mr. Hoover said. “The decision as to the party with which the | you would ally yourselves in your first vote is one of the most impor- tant decisions in your life, It is one ~ which you should approach by con- sideration of the fundamental things for which parties stand. The Re- publican party over these many years has been the party of pros- perity and progress. “You are all young; you are there- fore active—and the Republican party has always been the party of action, action for the benefit of the country at large without regard to sectional or to special interest. caianee you are young, your vision will grow broader than the older generation, because you have nefit of their experience. The Republican party in the United States is old in experience.
