PROBLEM NEEDS STUDY
Americans Told Europe's Success
With Latin-America Has Been
Due to Special Attention
Given to Question.
1
MOBILE, Ala., Oct 28. Two speak
ers at sessions of the Southern Com
mercial Congress emphasized today the
necessity tor the American business
man to become better acquainted with
the needs of the people of Latin
America. John M. Parker, honorary
president of the congress, declared:
"Our merchants should offer these
people what they want and not what
we think they should have." Senor
Federico Alfonso Pezet. representing
Peru, said America should send men
into Latin-America to ascertain what
was needed there. Europe's success In
trade with Latin-America he attributed
to the knowledge of European mer
chants of Latin-American conditions.
That the United States would have
keen competition from Peru in its ef
fort to secure Latin-American trade
after the canal was opened was the
etatement made by Senor Pezet. Peru
he said, was In better position to gain
by the opening of the canal than was
the United States and his country was
making active preparations to handle
the Increased trade.
Women Want State Suffrage.
The first convention of the women's
auxiliary to the congress was opened
today. The delegates adopted a reso
lution putting the organization on rec
ord as opposed to an amendment to
the Federal constitution granting
women the vote and In favor of
"state's rights" in woman suffrage.
The morning session was enlivened
by a resolution offered by Senator
Kansdell, of Louisiana, in which it was
provided that the United States Con
press be urged to investigate the Co
lombian claims that the Panama Canal
Zone was acquired improperly by the
United States. His resolution was re
ferred to a committee.
W. D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher,
offered the suggestion that a great
American city should be established on
the Zone and that It should be a "free"
city free of all export and import
duty. This, he said, would aid won
derfully in the fight of the United
States for new trade.
Bonds Cemented at Dinner.
Tonight was Pan-American night,
featured by a "diplomatic dinner" early
in the evening and followed By a pro
gramme of speeches by Central and
South American representatives. At
the dinner were represented Costa Rica,
Bolivia, Teru, Brazil and Argentina.
That bonds of friendship between the
United States and countries of South
and Central America were sure to be
strengthened by the Panama Canal in
fluence, seemed to be the opinion of
all the speakers.
John Temple Graves, of New Tork,
urged upbuilding of the merchant ma
rine and advocated a larger Navy to
protect the Panama Canal.

GATES OFTEX VISITED HERE
Young Millionaire Had Varied Busi
ness Career In East.
Often a visitor in Portland, "Charley"
Gates, as he was familiarly and popu
larly known all over the country, had a
varied career. He was born with "a
golden spoon in his mouth," as the say.
ing is, at Turner Junction, 111., now
known as West Chicago, on May 21,
1876, so he saw a great deal of the
world in his il years.
Toung Gates was educated at Smith
Academy, a orivate school, in St. Louis
and at Lake Forest, 111. He attended
no university, but could have had he
cared for book knowledge. Instead.
Young Gates soon developed an eye for
business and In 1893 his father, the
famous late John W. Gates, permitted
bis son to t.e a clerkship In Chicago,
two years later helping him to a place
as assistant, to the president of the Con
solidated Steil & Wire Company. This
was rea'iy Lis first start in the busi
ness WO' 11 and he found it so much to
his liking that the following year he
became a partner In the Chicago firm
of Baldwin, Gurney & Co, stock and
p3omnlBfllon brokers. Young Gates had,
I found his forte, the line of business in
which his father was getting rich, los
insr and winning a fortune withou
"batting an eye," as he frequently
styled his stock manipulations. It was
while a business partner of this firm
that young Gates took unto himself his
first wife, in 1898, the marriage with
Miss Mary W. Edgar being the result
of a St. Louis schoolmate romance.
But married happiness was not for
Mrs. Gates; at least she terminated th
contract by securing a divorce a few
years later. But Gates kept at busi
ness.
It was a year after his first marriage
that he organized the First Nationa
Bank of Port Arthur at Port Arthur,
Texas, then the Port Arftiur Milling Co.,
Port Arthur Light & Power Co., etc.
in fact, young Gates was the life of
Port Arthur from a financial viewpoint.
Later Charley Gates succeeded to many
directorates held by his father, the lat
ter turning over to him stock and posi
tions on the boards of the Omaha, Kan.
sas City & Eastern, the Kansas City
& Northern Connecting, and Davenport,
Rock Island and Northwestern Rail
ways.
At the time of the death of his father
in Paris, three years ago, young Gates
hastily assumed full charge of a vast
estate of some $50,000,000 and, though
he had the reputation of spending
cool $1,000,000 a year, he had several
y.ars yet to run to carry out his in
tention, for he left an estate valued at
close to $10,000,000, with a home on
Madison avenue. New York, one In
course of construction in Minneapolis,
one in Port Arthur, Texas, and a lease
on a Winter home In Pasadena, CaL, the
city of the millionaires.
Charles G. Gates always was a club
man. He had access to all the clubs
practically of the country and was I
member of many.
It was three years ago that he mar
ried a second time, when Miss Florence
Hopwood, one of Minneapolis' society
belles, married him. In Pennsylvania,
after several Interruptions in the pro
posed ceremony, which was to have
taken place In Minneapolis.
The wedding was a big surprise to
Minneapolis society folk, for Miss Hop
wood at the time she met Gates In
West Baden, IndU, was engaged to Rob.
ert Carter, of Brooklyn, N. Y., a Harvard
man. whom she met in college. This
engagement she broke to wed the mil-lionaire.

' Mr. Gates left here for his Wyoming
