WIDOW TO BE CONSULTED
Though Young Multimillionaire Re
puted to Be Worth $20,000,000
Father's Will Held Him Much
I in Check; Relatives Aided.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Oct. J9. Work
on the $1,000,000 mansion which the
late Charles C. Gates was erecting here
was stopped today on orders from the
general contractors In New York.
It was announced that nothing fur
ther would be done until the architects
and builders had consulted with the
widow and mother of the dead multl-
mlllonalre.
The building was Intended by Mr.
Gates to house the magnificent art
collection left hlro by his father, the
late John W. Gates, and which now Is
stored lh New Tork.
Father-tn-law Gets Fine Home.
This home was the one which young
Gates decided to build for his second
bride, after constructing for his
father-in-law, Frank P. Hopwood, a
$300,000 mansion nearby. This $1,000,
000 structure has been in course of con
structlon for more than a year, and
there was no little litigation before
Gates was able to secure hold' on all
the property he desired for grounds
surrounding his mansion-to-be. The
property has a frontage of several
hundred feet on Lake of the Isles, one
of Minneapolis' most beautiful small
bodies of water, and in a vicinity now
the most beautiful and most valuable
residential property in the city.
It was given out today that young
Gates, though he was reputed 'to be
worth $20,000,000 if his holdings could
be turned into cash, had been held back
by his father's will, and was not able
to handle or turn into cash stocks and
securities said to mount into the mil
lions. His father's will divided equally
the John W. Gates fortune with his
mother, after bequests of several hun
dred thousand dollars had been made
to near relatives.
It was reported today that young
Gates had given much of his riches
In the last year to needy relatives all
over the country, as well as giving
many of them positions of trust.
Will Names Women.
It is said he made out a will soon
after his marriage in Uniontown, Pa.,
with Miss Hopwood, of this city, two
years ago. In which the greater portion
of his personal wealth Was left to his
wife and his mother, to whom he was
especially devoted.
Gates' second marriage was the re
sult of a romance begun In West!
Baden, Ind., where Gates had gone for
his health, and who'- Miss Hopwood
had traveled from here with her mother,
also in search of health
Mr. Gates' body Is expected to pass
through here tomorrow, on a special
train, arriving in New Tork on Friday.
The funeral will be held at the Madi
son Episcopal Church at 2:30 o'clock
next Sunday.
Mr. Gates will be buried beside his
father in Woodlawn Cemetery. Be
cause the mausoleum erected by the
Gates family is still in process of con
structlon. the body will be placed
temporarily in the family vault.
Both Mrs. John W. Gates and Mrs.
Gates are said to be prostrated with
grief and are being cared for by tho
family physician in New York.

deolded on today when the case against
them on a charge of kidnaping came
up before a police magistrate here.
The women had taken a' leading part
ln arranging for the transfer to Eng
land of children of striking Irish trans
port workers. The children were to be
cared for ln England during the con
tinuance ot the strike.
These efforts were opposed by the
Catholic clergy, who objected to the
children's being sent to Protestant
homes. ;
At the hearing today the attorney for
the defendants explained that the wom
en's action had been misunderstood.
There was, he said, a touch of humor
In charging them with kidnaping when
they were really on an errand of mercy.
They had not committed any crime, he
declared, but perhaps had acted indis
creetly. The Attorney-General for Ireland
then consented to an adjournment of
the case for a month, which is taken
as an indication that it will not come
up again.
LOW
THE BEST
PRICED PIANO
Not alone in high-priced artistic pianos is our stock superior
to that of any dealer on the Coast, but in medium and low priced
instruments as well, are we better prepared to supply the needs
of Portland piano buyers than any other store.
For years we have given especial attention to the demand
for the less expensive pianos, and by reason of our splendid or
ganization for buying and distribution, we are able to offer to dis
criminating buyers the very best values at the lowest possible
prices, in both pianos and player pianos.
The Wellington Piano
$275
The Euphona Player Piano $465
Here are two splendid instruments from the great factories
of The Cable Company. The WELLINGTON PIANO has for
years been the highest standard at its price, $275. It is made in
both mahogany, and the new Stickley oak case, now so popular.
It is well made, of most excellent tone and superior finish, and it
is sold on very easy terms.
THE EUPHONA PLAYER PIANO is the highest de
velopment of the player piano possible at the price asked. It is
fully eighty-eight note scale, easily operated,' very simple of con
trol and capable of the very finest musical effects. It embodies
the very latest ideas, including automatic sustaining pedal and
perfect control separately over bass and treble registers.
Altogether the Euphona is a distinctly superior player piano
at an exceedingly low price and on unusually easy terms. It is
shown in Stickley Oak and Circassian Walnut cases of the very
latest design.
