Gates Passes Away in Paris, U. S. Senator Frye at Lewiston STARTED AS A HARDWARE DEALER Gates in Prime of Life Was One of Boldest and Most Successful of. American Financiers—Frye a Member of Congress For Forty Years, Succeeding Blaine as Senator—Always Fair in His Rulings and Debate. Paris, Aus. 9.—John W. Gates, the American financier, «died _early ' this Morning in the arms of his wife and his son. The end was peaceful and it peemed as though he was falling asleep. The usual restoratives failed in the last crisis. Others present at the bed- side, besides the members of the fam- » were Drs. Gros and Reeves. Had Lived on Oxygen a Week. For a week past Mr. Gates Had prac- tically lived on oxygen inhaled through @ tube, which was constantly fastened 1o his robe beneath his mouth. When the heart failed oxyvgen was adminis- tered mere freely through a funnel From bags. In addition to this ca- feiie, strychnine and oil of camphor ‘were used to give artificlal force, and the kidneys and body were frequently drained. Congestion of Kidneys Recurs. The recurrence of congestion of the kidneys was experienced at noon to- ol aund it was found necessary occa- Eionally to administer heart stimulants. Last night the physicians had|been en- couraged by -an improvement in the ection of the kidneys and a lessening of the inflammation of the lungs. At daybreak, however, the patient show- tempore of the senate at the beginning of the present special session of con- gress, although he retained his mem- bership in the senate, Senator Frye soon afterward made his last journey to the city which alwayvs had been his home, For several weeks his condi- tion was not considered necessarily dangerous. Up to last week he rested in comparative comfort, spending much of his time in reading or in having some member of his family read to him. A Serious Turn Last Week. Last week the senator’s illness took a serious turn, but again he rallied and this week his physicians expressed the hope that he might recover. As late as 3.15 o'clock this afternoon he appeared to be in a comfortable con- dition. Shortly afterward it was seen that he was sinking rapidly and at 3.55 o'clock he died. Breakdown Brought on Death. Another breakdown, due to his age and his extremely arduous career, is ascribed by Senator Frye's physicians as _the caus€ of his death. Funeral arrangements had not been completed tonight. President Taft and Governor Plaisted, who today was at- & g nfavorable svmptoms, and. Dr.|tending a centennial celebration at e R e i mmOned 10 mus | Washington, Maine, were motified by telegraph of the death of Frye. FORTY YEARS IN CONGRESS. Eince he became il Seemion Bold and Successful Financier. The death of John Warne Gates in Paris today removes in his prime one of the beldest and most ‘successful financiers, and a picturesque figure in the field of sports. Since 1830, when he organized the Southern Wire com- “pany, Mr. Gates had been 4 man with Whom it was necessary to reckon in the particular industrial affairs to which he had given his attemtion. In recent years he found relaxation from | business cares in becoming a prom- $nent patron of the American turf. Started at Hardware Dealor. Mr. Gates began his business career gs proprietor of a hardware store at ‘urner Junction, Ill. near the farm Where he was born in 1855. His par- enis were Asela and Mary Gates. At Bt Charles, 111, in 1374 he married Deltora R. Baku’, who, with her son, Charles G. Gates, survive. The fam- ily had maintained a home in New York city for some years. Balesman and Manufacturer of Barbed Wire. ® From a hardware merchant, Mr. Gates became interested in barbed wire, first as a salesman and lates & manufacturer at St. Louis. Folloy fng the Southern Wire company. he worganized the Braddock (Pa.) Wire company, which in 1892 he combined with other wire concerns as the Con- idated Steel and Wire company. Six years later this was sold to the Federal Eteel company. -In 1897 he organized the American- Steel and Wire com- pany, which is now a subsidiary com- pany of the United States Steel cor- poration. Primarily inferested in steel and later in oil, the financier was also identified With many large eperations of railway &nd industrial stock. He was known a4 shrewd speculator on Wall street through many ventures. notably the coup by which he obtained control of sville and Nashville railroad. Director of Several Concerns, e was a director of the Baltimore &nd Ohic railroad, the Western Mary- the Tennessee Coal, Iron oad compuany, the American company, the Republic Iron and el company of New Jersey and oth- The Wall sireet house of Gates & Co., of which the head, did a 1t business for some time preced- inz the banking troubles of 1807. In common with many other financiers, r. Gates suffered some reverses, and moen afierwards retired from the mar- ket and (he firm was dissolved. Appeared at Steel Trust Investigation, Senator Frye, Then a Congressman, Succeeded Blaine in 1881. ‘Washington, Aug. 8.—Naws of Sen- | ator Frye's.death reached the senate informally this afternoon while Ad- miral Togo, the Japaness naval hero, was being given an ovation during a ten minute recess. AS the s2nate was still in the legislative session of Mon- day, by reason of continuance under the agreement to vote on the statehood bill on the legislative day of Aug. 7, it was decided that no announcement should be made today of the loss of the senate's oldest =member—oldest both in years and service. _ Senate Will-Adjourn Today. There was a unanimous desire aiso that when adjournment was taken cut of respect for his memory that it be for an entire day. This formality will be complied with immediately after the senate convenes tomorrow. The fact that tha democrats will gain a senator, a potent conmsideration in connection with the alliance between the demo- cfats and progressive republicans that has shackled the republican ‘“paper majority,” will not alleviate the gri=f genuine felt by all regardless of party. Was Fair to All. Senater Frye famed for his fairness to all o otheaa the presiding officer or in dsbate on the floor. He never let politics interfere with his unwavering consideration for the feelings of his colleagues. Began Service in 1881. Senator Frys was one of the last two of that remarkable coterie ®f Maine statesmen which began with Hannibal Hamlin, ended with himself and Senator Hale, who retired at the close of the last session of congress, and included James G. Blaine, Willlam Pitt Fessenden, Thomas B. Reed and Nelson Dingle: Both he and Hale be- gan service in the senat2 in 1881 and served the nation side. by side for 30 years, a much longer time than any other two men ever sat together in the senats, whether from the ums state or not. Frye Succeeded Bllin.. Frye began his service as the suc- cessor of Blaine, and Hale as the suc- cessor of Hamlin. Both entered the senate after conspicuous service in the house and both begdn their congres- sional careers in the latter body almost simultaneously. - in Congress Forty Years.

It yas this testimony that-led Mr. Ci negie, who was in Europe, to say some gharp things about “this man Yates,” fates” being Mr. Carnegie's con- struction of the financier's name. A Republican in Politics. In politics Mr. Gates was a republi- can, and was @ colonel on the staff of Governcr John R, Tanne* of Llinois, 4n 1897-1900. He was a man of great energv, shrewd and resourceful, a hard fighter’ and a good loser; and on: whose willingness to “take a chance’ on any reasonable proposition ga: him wide popularity in the realms finance and sports. In middle life was many times a millionaire, and the time of his death was fast reco ing the losses of a few years ago. pefabes iy SENATOR W. P. FRYE.

New York, Aug. 8.—In the bathroom of a handsomely appointed house on Riverside Drive, the police cut down this afternoon the body of Miss Mary E. Rowan, sister of Mrs. Samuel Booih, ths wealthy widow of the former pres- ident of the-Ward line of steamers. Miss Rowan had been dead a week.

Pope Restless During Night! HIS SUFFERING INCREASED BY INTENSE HEAT. A SEVERE ATTACK OF GOUT Physi ns Look for Pontiff's Recovery ‘With Advent of Cooler Weather—His Sisters at His Bedside. \ Rome, August 8.—Pope Pius ig suf- fering from a severe and painful at- tack of the gout, and upon the orders of his physicians is keeping closely to his ehamber. Doctors Insist Upon Absolute Rest. Dr. Petacci, private physician to his holiness. and Dr. Marchiafava, consulting ‘physician at the Vatican, who are in attendance upon the case, are prescribing a treatment of alka- loids and also insisting upon absolute rest. They said that if there should he a change to cooler weather they hope for the speedy recovery of the distinguished patient. Pontiff's Age Against Him. ‘The doctors declared tonight that the case would not be considered of the slightest_importance were the pore not en elderly man—he is 77 years old—or if his constitution re- cently had not heen weakened by an attack of laryngitis, which also af- fected the trachea, and by the exees- sive heat. The attack bears all the classical characteristics of gout. Pain Becomes Acute at Night. Today when Drs. Petacei and March- iafava visited his holiness they found his condition somewhat better and the patient taking nourishment; but with the approach of night the paroxysms of pain became acute. Pope Pius com- plained that in the right knee he ex- perienced a burning sensation and se- vere throbbing and pricking pains. Veins of Leg Enlarged. ‘The inflammation of the affected part ‘is so intense that Pope Pius dreads to have the leg moved or jar- red. Even clothes on it or the slightest shaking of the bed causes him much pain. The veins of the leg are somewhat enlarged. Heart Is Fairly Strong. The examination made by the phy: cians today revealed a heart fairly strong and respiration ‘good, with a shortness of breath common to per- sons of advanced years and stout. The pulse was rather intermittent, but the Ltemperature wis only slightiy above normal. His holiness remained in bed today and saw no one except his secretaries and his sisters. The latter have not left the bedside since the illness of the pope became more marked and in- sist upon preparing with their own hards whatever food is ordered for the patient. : Heat Makes Him Restless. Pope Pius was rather restless during the night, owing to the intense heat, notwitastanding the fact that the elec- tric fens were kept going in an eitort to cool the atmosphere. Although his doetors had reccmmended absolute 1es8t his holiness insisted that Monsignor Eressan read to him, saying that it soothed his nerves. $10,400 MADE DEATH DAMAGE MAXIMUM. Senate Amendment Also Places Mini- mum at $1,000. Hartford, Aug. §.—The senats today amended the death damages bill, mak- ing by this action, so far as the senate is coneerned, the value of a human it at least $1.000, with a maximum value of $10,000, in place of the presant $5,000 limitation. The senate selected Senator Barnum as its conferee on the workingmen's compensation and employers’ liability Dbill, which the house had rejected. Representatives of various labor or- ganizations petitioned the senate io adhere to its action in passing the bill. A statistician in the legislature has ascertained that in 22 years in which the death damages limitation bill has been in effect only three times has a jury given an award of $5,000, the limit, in an action growing out of a death due to accident in which negli- gence was set up.

Hartford, Conn., Aug. 8.—The third Veto message of Governor Baldwin made its appearance in the house this afternooh. and it was on the railroad bill which provided - that railroads should not charge a passenger who 8ot on the train without a ticket more than the regular fare plus the rebate amount of five cents given ordinarily. The contention was that under the zona plan a passenger going from Hartford to New Britain who had no ticket was charged full fare, whereas if he had bought a ticket before board- ing the train it would have been as a special rate. The same situation ap- plied elsewhere. Veto, Message Tabled. The governor's veto was received with interest. Members claim it does not bear directly on the bill. Thay claim that the public utilities commission could not deal with the sitmation. The veto message was tabled on motion of Mr, Banks. It reads as follows: —Text of the Veto. “To the Honorable House of Reprz- sentatives “I return witdout my approval house bill 788, being An Act Concerning Railroad Fares. “Under the general common law of the land, it is proper for a railroad company to make an extra charge for transportation against passengers who have failed to purchase a ticket before boarding the train, or even to forbid jany intending passenger to enter a train without a ticket. The bill her: with returned limits any such char: to five cents, and provides that on col- lecting it a rebate check shall be is- sued entitling the holder to recover the sum so paid from the railroad com- pany. A Rule Rather Than a Statute. “This measure concerns one of the details of the management of railroad business. It seems proper subject of a rule rather than of a statute. ~We now have a public utilities commission, with ample powers to lay down rules or to revise rules made by the railroad companies, in such a way that the in- terests of the traveling public will be intelligently and thoroughly guarded at all points.
