Gates and his son, Charles G. Gates, have been sued for $2,130,000 by Robert H. Thorburn of 64 West Fifty-third street, a for- mer member of the Chicago Board of Trade, on the ground that they en- gineered a corner in corn on the Beard of Trade in July, 1902, be-_ came known here yesterday. i Thorburn’sclaim against the two | Gates estates, and especially against the estate of Charles G. Gates, was disclosed through the filing in the surrogate’s court or an order direct-' ing Mrs. Dellora R. Gates, widow of John W. Gates, who is executrix of the estates of both her husband nnd] son, and al] legatees under the will of | Charles G. Gates to show cause why the will, which was probated in Jefferson county, Texas, on January, admitted to probate here and the decedent de- clared a resident of New York state. In filing his petition Thorburn as- serted that he is a creditor of the Charles G. Gateg estate and that he is uncertain whether Mr. Gates died a | resident of New York, Minnesota or Texas. Mr. Thorburn’s proceeding in the surrogate’s court was brought as the result of a recent decision of United States District Judge Learned Hand, who granted an application by Mrs. Gates to vacate the service of a sum- mons in his suit to recover $2,130,000 from the two Gates estates. An in- spection of the papers filed in the United States district court shows that the summons was served on Mrs., Gates personally at the office of the estates of John W, and Charles G. Gates, 17 Battery place, on May 18 last. Through her attorneys, Byrne & Cutcheon, Mrs. Gates subsequently filed an application to vacate the ser- vice of the summons. In her petition Mrs. Gates said that her husband diea on August 9, 1911, and his will was probated in Jefferson county, Texas, on October 9, 1911. Her son died October 28, 1913, and his will was probated in the same county on Janu- ary 26, 1914. Mrs. Gates contended that since she had been administering the estates of her husband and son under the laws of Texas she could ' PULLAR & NIVEN A SPEAKS LAT VIKING FAIR. Viking A. C. Bazaar At Bungalow Opens With Good Attendance. Representative E. W. Schultz offi- | cially opened the Viking A. C. fair at the bungalow last evening with a | short, but interesting address. Mr. | Schlutz took a most appropriate topic for his remarks, “The Vikings.” He ®riefly traced the history of the bold Vikings of old and told the mem- bers of the club that they could have no better model to follow than these old ancesters. The bungalow was decorated and the various booths were presided over @y fair damsels. Anderson's orches- tra furnished music for dancing, which was enjoyed until midnight. 1 Tomorrow evening's program will " iinclude some special attractions and ! ‘tonight Mrs. Pauline Olson and Miss Esther Swanson will render a piano duet and Walter Falk will sing.

She said it would be a viola- i tion of the federal constitution pro- | vision relating to taking propen.y without due process of law to compel | her to defend the suit under the cir- cumstances. Mrs. Gates said further that in January, 1915, long subsequent to the death of her husband and son, she re- ceived a written communication frem Thorburn in which he said he irtended to sue her under the Sher- man act.

Gates and his partners in the broker- age firm of Harris, Gates & Co. manipulated the market for July corn and attempted to run a corner on corn on the Chicago Board of Trade. Thornburn notified Mrs. Gates that his firm of Waite, Thorburn & Co., grain merchants, had sold corn for July delivery, and owing to the al- leged corner there was no corn to be had except from Harris, Gates & Co. Thorburn said his firm was forced to tuy a sufficient amount from the Gates firm to make deliveries and was compelled to pay ‘“unreasonable and | monopolistic prices.” Subsequently the Gates firm sued Thorburn’s firm for an amount due on the corn and when the latter failed to pay complaint was made to the Board of Trade and the Thorburn firm was suspended. If Thorburn succeeds in forcing the probate of the will here he can serve Mrs. Gates in this State. Otherwise he must serve her in Texas. The suits against the Gates estate will be followed with interest locally as the widow of Charles G.
