Hnsbad of Maker However Told Johnw Gatos and Aaseciates That He-Theught the Profits Were Sufficient
NXW YORK March 7It stay no Issuerbe BM that Joha W Gates and big fellowmIIIionairee from the Weot are devoid of-eeaUment aad the hoer feeiiags or thatthey are aot poeoeeaed of gratit ado LikeOther mea their hearts and their pocketsare to be reached through their atoaachsand it is beet doae by means of pie whichmust be of tire good old homemade va-riety
Mr Gates prides himself oa being agood judge of pie as he is of ether thtage-He knows good pie whea he tastes It andbe is ready to reward the maker A checkwas rocoatly draws for a sea that rep-resents a small fortune and it was In pay-ment for two pica The transaction prob-ably Masde snique and the highest priceever paid for pie Is repreoented by thatcheek Bat had the turn of a coin beendifferent the cheek would base beendraws for abort 11001 the pro8ta reeultfag from a deal In Northera Pacific securi-ties
Memory Stun LingersAltheugh the cheek wag recently drawn
the pie was eaten last May but the mom0 of it still lingers to make the mqutks-of the eaters water The blatory of thepie aad the check was related yesterdayby one of those Interested with Mr Gatesin the speculation of last spring
J F Harris new head of the Arm ofHarris Gates Co then bad an officeat No 12 West Thirtythird Street Dar-ing the days whoa the New York StockIarket seemed to have gone crazy Mr
Harris once was occupied every after-noon by a number of gentlemen from theWest whose interesta were common Em-ployed there then was J E Kane a tele-graph operator whose duty It was to keepa close watch of the market and post thespeculators en every turn When theexcitement was at its height Kane wastold to take his luncheon at the WaldorfAstoria and have it charged to his em-ployer who was desirous that he shouldbe out of the office as short a time asrosiblo-
Ne offence Is meant to any person whenit is said that Mr Kane bead the fowlprovided for him by 0scar a trifle too
In return for a culinary daintyshe made them a Party of mag-nates bought one hundred sharesof Northern Pacific for Mrs Kanejust before that stocks seneA-tiomal rise and turned over themargins to her
rich for his digeetIos so he arranged tohave a luncheon sent to him from hishome
How It All StartedIt so happened one day just at neon
that there was a loll in speculation andthe operator was permitted to eat with-out keeping one bead on the telegraphkey He had Just prepared to bite latea thick piece of lemon pie when the of-f ee stsaager Mr R M Rogers now gen-eral pmssenger sad freight agent of theCimclnmati Riehm emd and Muncie Rail-road catered the room lie was hungryand the pie attracted his attention Hintsthat were not to be misunderstood weremade and the pie was divided into halves
Best pie I eve ate said Mr Rogera with his mouth full Whered youget it
Wife made it responded Kane withhis mouth equally fall
Them Rogers was struck by as inspira-tion He remembered that Mr Harrisbad invited some friends to have leecheoswith him in the office the next day and lieplamned a surprise for them
De you think that your wife vaeuhdmake a pie like that for me tomorrow if-I would send the porter up for It heventured
Sure she would replied Kane whowas proud to have his wifes cooking ap-iweeiated
And so It was arranged The next daythere was spread a leach table in thatoMce with a big gorgeous lemon pie asthe centre piece and gathered around itwere John W Gates J F ilarris GeorgeF Randolph now connected with the Bal-timore and Ohio L N Huestoa a Chicagocapitalist and T P Sheets president ofthe Indiana Iowa and Illinois Railroad
All of the other food was slighted andthese at the table exhibited a willingnessto reach the pie stage as early as peeaibie It was a large pie and it leakedgood and there was plenty of It Byagreement It was IIVIded late four piecesand proceedinge pontineed
Might Have Been More
i Just like m lher need to make saidMr Gates wk the frst to apeak-
We must do something to Immertallsethis pie and the maker was the commentof Mr Shonts
There was a repetition of the luncheonnextdsy and there was another pie Thenthe four gentlemen lastructed Mr Rogersto bay one hundred shares of NorthernPacific stack for which they stood re-sponsible and turn the proAta ever toMrs Kane It was done the stock beingpurchased in the name of A G Pymacherwhich is easily translated Into a good piemaker The securities were bought at113 i and the vory next day the sensa-tional advance Is Northers Pacitk began
By leaps and bounds the price of Nip
per went up From 113 It rose to 130and the next day it was selling around 136-Mr Kane was perceptibly nervous Hedid net like to suggest selling o it but theprnts ea two pies aeemed to him to besomething remarkable Them Mr Rogerspointedly called his attention to the factthat Aorthora Pacific might have a tmm-tWe
Well said tho fortunate husband ofthe maker of pies I will toss a gearterHeads we sell tails we hold on-
It came heads and the Mock was soldThat night there was almost a panic isNorthern Pacific sad the stock broughtany price that holders demanded Thenext day sales wore made at 1011 ashare Had the hundred share lot beetheld for the top flgur there would havebeen a profit for A 0 Pymaeher of
88676 less the brokers cemmiseloe As-it was the advance was sufficient to stakeMrs Kane start when the check wasplaced In her bands

Bullion Into Subsidiary Coinage
NEW YORK March 7 Bbllevimg thatthe beet interests f the ceuntry require apanty between the legal tender silver dol-lar and gold and that the subsidiary atl-ver coinage of the United States shouldbe increased the ehambei af commerceyesterday adopted unanimously rosolu-tioss urging Congress to take favorableaction on both propositions which areIncluded In a bail now before the House ofRepreeentatives-
Attenllon was directed to the subjectby J Harses Rhoades chairman of thechambers committee ea baaking and cur-rency He prefaced his resolutions witha report which dealt exhaustively with thesubject of the coinage and circulation ofgold and silver
Maintenance of ParityHe explained that while Congress on
March 14 1910 declared for the geldstandard and made the geld dollar thestandard unit of value it did not asidefrom providing for the redemption ofUnited States notes in gold prescribe anymethod by which parity with silver shouldbe maintained
It was the purpose of the present Iegis-latien to remedy this defect and at thesame time provide an outlet for thevolume of subsidiary coin in circulationto meet the needs of commerce
Good Use for Idle Silverin the judgment of your committee
said Mr Rhoades no wiser use can hemade of the Mock of bullion on had thanto turn It Into the subsidiary coinage asneeded giving the Secretary of the Treas-ury a free hand fa reducing from time totime the volume of silver eertigatee orsilver dollars sow in circulation or lyingidle is the vaults of the Treasury
Itseems to your oomidttee that It kthe part of good judgment and wise proendure having on hand a large and herdensome stock of silver bullion to utilizeit is suck form as will keep It in rirce-latoa either in cola or small bills rep-resented by hellion deposited for in thisway at least it an be made of some useand through small coinage the risk of Itsreturn to the Treasury irl volume at ua-aeaeoaable and perilous periods is largelyreduced
Can Be AbsorbedFlue rapfd growth of The eauatrr Ia
trade and population will enable it to ab-sorb and keep in eireulaties a muchlarger per capita volume of silver coin-age than now exists hile the enormousincrease in our stock of gold which will
Mainlenance of Pari1C-
ongrete is urged to take fav-orable aetion out the lull mow be-fore the house providing for theactual Parity between the legalllender silver dollar and gold madto increase the subsidiary silvercoinage Parity is now maintain-ed urges the New York Chamberof Commerce only by the abidingfaith of the people The Iasutl-eieney of the act of March 14 iIOfl-is pointed out
probably continue will he adding an am-ple geld reserve to efset the issue ofsilver eelnage
But the vital essence of the bill In-questioa is to make the legal tender silverdollars remaining outstanding exchange-able rt all times into gold when presentedin seine of 6 or multiples thereof
Exchangeable With GoldIf the act of March 14 1910 really
means what it says that the standarddollar of issue shall be the gold dollarthen every dollar issued ether then goldshould be exchangeable into gold for themaintenance of parity as the House com-mittee truly says Is not only a moralobligation resting upon the nation but it-is one which the Government cannotevade far whether exchangeable or notthey must be accepted by the Treasuryfor all Government dues is lieu of geld
Maintained by FaithIn our judgment nothing now prevents
silver dollars from going to a discount ox-eept the abiding faith of the people thatthe Government will at all times keepthem worth their face value in geld andit it is the Intention of the Governmentle do this as is presumably the ease thenwhy should not the Government proveIts Intention by its act and by de-claring sliver dollars exchangeable In goldat the will of the holder forever end alldoubt even if the strain upon the goldreserve proves too great and a larger re-serve Is needed Even new it the straindoes come and come it will gold must bebought to maintain the parity or theparity will cease to exist
