Rev. G. E. Hawes, of Brad
dock, Pa., Tells Story of
Steel King's Life,
BECOMES RICH SUDDENLY
piscards "Wife of Poorer Days for
Actress Scandal, Separation
and Divorce Follow His
Meteoric Rise.
"W. E. Corey, while unquestionably a
leader among men and the possessor o
much business foresight and sagacity, has
not even a common-school education, and
Is anything but attractive. He is a man
of very ordinary personality, and those
who meet him are not impressed with his
Intellectuality. He is utterly lacking in
magnetism such as la found in most men
of affairs, but he is a good business man.
His greatest attraction is his money, if
Ithat can be termed an attraction."
Such Is an estimate of the character or
the president of the United States Steel
Corporation whose name Is familiar to
nearly every man, woman and child in
the United States, by Rev. George E.
Hawes. of Braddock. Pa., who arrived In
Portland Saturday. Braddock is the home
town of Corey, where his parents now re
Bide. Dr. Hawes is occupying the pulpit
f the United Presbyterian Church dur
ing the absence of Rev. A. W. Wilson,
who is taking a few weeks' rest. Dr.
Hawes had charge of this church eight
years ago, and is now pastor of the First
United Presbyterian Church at Braddock.
Dr. Hawes has met Corey and Is ac
quainted with many relatives and friends
of the steel king.
According to Dr. Hawes, Corey, who
lias figured so prominently in the recent
divorce scandal after deserting his wife
for an actress, is of the aggressive type.
His advance in the business world was
very rapid, exceptionally rapid, in fact,
as only a few years ago he was worth
nothing, while now he has millions. As
soon as he obtained wealth and affluence
he began to spend his money and to en
Joy himself In the same aggressive man
ner that made his fortune, forgetting his
wife, who was of a domestic disposition,
and for whom the gay "butterfly" life
had no attractions,
Corey Unpromising as Young Man.
"When a, young man Corey was very
unpromising, and it seemed as if he were
destined to lead a commonplace existence.
Not one person In a thousand would pick
him out as a leader of men, but that is
what he is today. About 15 years ago the
owner of a grocery store refused to give
him a position as clerk at $50 a month
simply because he believed he was not
capable.
"Then he started In to learn the steel
business. He worked from the very bot
tom to the top, and knows the business
from beginning to end. That is one of
the reasons why he Is so valuable an ad
junct to the steel trust. The opportunity
presented itself, and he took advantage
of it. He developed into a man who
could handle other men, and this is one
of the things that brought him success.
In most men this power is born, but with
him it was cultivated.
"Carnegie took a fancy to him and
made him immensely rich. The change
was too sudden for him and it turned
his head. Money came easily and it got
the best of him. He had.no social or in
tellectual training and the only way
he knew to dispose of his income was
to revel in luxuries. His money attract
ed to him. actresses and others who
were after his money. He acted much
like a tramp who has fallen heir t6 a
fortune and who spends it all foolishly,
except that Corey has so much that it
is all but Impossible for him to get
rid of it through high living. While
he dissipates he always keeps an eye
on his business Interests. In business
dealings I understand that he is very
cold-blooded.
"He is like many of the other Pitts
burg millionaires who became - sud
denly rich and as a result lost their
heads. They had been very poor and
when money began to pour down on
them In a golden shower they com
menced to spend It like so much water.
. Old Story, Oft Repeated.
The story- of Corey and his wife is
an old one. Many other millionaires
have discarded their wives. When she
married the steel magnate Mrs. Corey
had a better social standing than he
She was anxious for her husband to
make a success and worked hard. She
stayed at home, tended her domestic
duties and was not socially inclined.
When Corey got rich and his money
gathered around him a swarm of beau
tiful women he no longer cared for his
simple but devoted wife. He wanted
someone gay and young and his ag
gressiveness got away with his better
sense .
"I know the parents of Corey and
they are very simple and ordinary
people. His father Is the tax collector
at Braddock and lives the same simple
life that he did years ago. His father
and mother sided with the wife and
did all they could to prevent a separa
tion. "Most of those at the head of the
steel Industry are comparatively young
men who have developed remarkable
business ability. They are known as
Carnegie's 'young men.' They know the
practical end of the business. It is al
most impossible for college-bred men
to get employment If Corey and some
of the others can prevent it. I refer to
collepre men who gradute from class
ical institutions. With men of technical
training it Is different.
"The story Is told of two young men
Just from college who applied for posi
tions. They were refused work because
it was learned that they had been to
college. The boys were undaunted and
donned overalls. They came back a few
days later dressed in overalls and when
applying for positions murdered the
Knjriish language. They got the Jobs
which had been refused them In the
first place."
WANT AN ELECTRIC ROAD
rcoplo of Thickly-Settled District
Lack Rapid Transportation.
Farmers along and east of the South
ern Pacific Railway between Willsburg
and Oregon City, including Mlnthorne, at
Milwaukle, Harmony. Clackamas and
Gladstone, are watching the various elec
tric railway movements In the hope that
some of these enterprises will not over
look that rich district.
They have a complete organization, or
rather series of organizations, at those
centers along this route, ready to assist
any company which will build them an
electric railway to Portland. Further
more, In the hands of C. F. Clark, who
has worked in and put of season, living
at Clackamas, is a mass of statistics
showing the probable passenger and
freight traffic of such a railway. These
figures were carefully gathered over every

foot of the territory and are thoroughly
reliable. When the figures shown by Mr.
Clark to C. F. Swigert. formerly of the
City & Suburban Railway Company, he
expressed doubt as to their accuracy,
but Mr. Clark took Mr. Swigert over the
entire route, and he was convinced that
a field was there for an electric railway,
and he would take it up. but the merger
of the Portland lines was in the air and
nothing has been done.
"I cannot understand," said Mr. Clark
yesterday, "why the companies now pro
posing to build to Portland from the
"Willamette Valley have overlooked this
rich route, which is wholly unoccupied,
when our statistics show such invest
ment would pay Immediately on comple
tion of the line. I recently attended a
railroad meeting at Harmony and 200
farmers were present. They were then
ready, and are still ready, to make rea
sonable concessions. Grades are easy,
and there is settlement every foot of the
distance. Why build down the west bank
of the Willamette River into Portland
when an easy grade may be had through
a well settled district that Is now out
of reach of quick transportation facili
