KELLOGG PAYS TRIBUTE. @ecretary Considers Death of Steel King as Great Loss. By the Associated Press. Regret over the death of Elbert H. Gary was expressed yesterday by Sec- votary Kellogg in a statement which read: “The death of Judge Gary is a great loss to the country. He was not only a great financier and industrialist, but he was a great American. He was tol- erant and sympathetic and had a high ideal of his obligations to his country. 1 was intimately acquainted with him for more than 30 years and I feel his death as a personal loss.” CITY BIDS FAREWELL.
