John W. Gates. CITY HONORED THE DEAD All Business Waa SuipendedWhile Citizem Paid Tribute to- the Departed Benefactor of the Town. (Houston Post Special.) PORT ARTHUR, Texas, August 23 From noon today until I p. m.

not a wheel was turned or a door opened for business In Port Arthur. At the docks and refineries all operations ceased and every business house in the city was closed In respect for John W. Gates. A great crowd gathered on the lawn fronting the Plaxa hotel, where scats had ben provided for several thousand. A large platform for the speakers, choir and invited guests was filled to capacity.

The front of the Plata hotel waa heavily draped in crepe. Promptly at 6 p. m. the memorial services were opened by music from the orchestra, followed by an invocation by Rev. Mr.

Howard of the Baptist church, followed by music from a choir of over fifty of the best voices of the city. Charles K. Neil of the customs department acted as master of ceremonies and introduced as the first speaker R. H. Dunn, customs collector of this port and intimate friend of Mr.

Gates. Mr. Dunn gave a synopsis of the commercial history of John W. Gate's and his great endeavors to build up the city of Iort Arthur. Next on the program was J.

W. Williams, a local attorney and legal adviser of Mr. Gates. Mr Williams gave a most eloquent and touching eulogy of the decedent. The congregation then Joined In singing "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." aald to have been the favorite hymn of tne mother of the decedent.

Rev. G. B. Hlnes, P. of the Methodist Episcopal church from New i r-leans, was the next speaker.

Dr. Hines Is a director of the Port Arthur Collegiate institute, the donation of John W. Gates to the Methodist church, and has been intimately connected with Mr. Gates. He gave assurance that the dead financier had a profound faith In God as frequently expressed to him, and' paid a most feeling tribute to the dead.

The assembly here Joined In singing Nearer My God to Thee," and were dismissed by invocation from Kev. Rolla Dyrn of the Episcopal church. Rev. Hines in his address said: It la with a keen sense of the loss which the cltliens of Port Arthur have sustained In the death of John Warne Gates with the people elsewhere of the great Southwest that I Join you in paying tribute on this occasion to his memory. Perhaps no man ever had In his heart and thought a community and city as Mr.

Gates had In his heart and thought the city of Port Arthur. During my first private conversation with Mr. Gates the one Impression which was left on my mind was that Port Arthur was lying vtry close to his heart. His thought with reference to Port Arthur was not only from a financial viewpoint, but as a clti-xen his interest was of a broader and more philanthropic nature. His benevolent and charitable deeds are living witnesses to this factf One of the leadlna- dallies a short while ago In an editorial on the benevolent and ciiariiauie sioe or Mr.

Gates' life mentioned the fact that the severe struggles of his early business career required so much of his attention that he did not have the time to devote to benevolent and charitable Institutions to which In his latter years he was turning his attention. The responsibility of wealth will sooner or Inter bring to the mind and heart of him who possesses it a profound sense of how It can be used in the uplift of humanity. And one would lack the "milk o- human kindness" who could look on the great opportunities which cull for deeds of charity and be unmoved. These opportunities whh-h are ever appealing to men of wealth to use their means as a divine trust were more ami more Impressing themselves on the heart and thought of Mr. Gates.

On one occasion the people of a certain city recommended a Roman citizen to the lowly Nazarene by saying. "He built a synagogue for our people It evidently pleased the Master, for he immediately pronounced a blessing upon the Homan builder of the temple. Some time ago Mr John W. Gates built a handsome Methodist Episcopal church In St. Charles, III and It was dedicated to the worship of God.

And I know personally that It was his purpose not to let this edifice lie the last to receive his assistance Mary Gates hospital and Port Arthur Collegiate Institute are standing monuments witnessing to his ever Increasing efforts In benevolent and charitable enterprise Not only was Mr. Gates' interest In public Institutions of this character engaging his attention, but a large number of individuals ran testify to the fact that there was a great place In his heart for every man who was worthy of his assistance. And more than one minister of the gospel lias had his heart made glad by generous thoughtfulness on the part of Mr. Gates. Very much of Tvfr.

Gates' generosity has never reached the public press, therefore It Is all the more difficult to review his philanthropic deeds One admirable feature connected with manv of Mi-Gates' charities was that he did not let his left hand know what his right hand did. One of the moat eventful periods In the life of Mr. Gates was the profound lmprasslon made upon him hy the death of his mother She had been a devoted and consistent Christian from her girlhood, and her beautiful character was made apparent as she neared the evening of a long and useful life. And when her earthly life ended in the home of hor son It seemed to impress htm In a very remarkable way. And from that time until the day of his death those who were Intimately acquainted with him could easily detect that he was under the Influence of his mother's God.

In your loss by the departure of Mr Gates from this life I bring to you this comforting thought, that no man's work begun In a community In such a way as has been Mr. Gates" in this community will ever cease. He so Infused his spirit Into those about him and Inspired them with such generous enthusiasm to compllsh his Ideals, that like the prophet of old he dropped his mantle on others to carry on his work. John W. Gates has fought the fight and finished his course and is now in his tomb, but the magnificent growing city of Port Arthur a the years tome anil go with Its Institutions will honor his memory as their chief benefactor, knowing that the "city by the sea" with all Its Interests was always near his heart OBANGE NEWS BUDGET.

(Houston Post Special.) Al'STIN. Texas, August 23. They had a sure nough full-blown surprise in the senate today. It waa over the final enactment of the congressional redisrict ing bill, which was passed to engrossment on Tuesday. The measure had the support of all the antls and three pro members, viz, Mayfleld, Sturgeon and Ward After Senator McNealus had made bia "personal privilege" plea in regard to Tuesday night's fist fight, and the morn ing preliminaries had been disposed oi.

Senator Hudspeth arone from his seat on the southeast side of the chamber and Kerenely moved that senate bill No. 32 the redlKtrictlng measure- be called up for consideration That started thing. A Uoaen pro senators were on their feet In a Jiffy calling for recognition. All had points of order. The chair pounded for order and finally recognised Senator ljittlmore of Kort Worth.

The senator pointed out that senate bill No. 15 Townsend's supreme court relief measurehad been made the special order for the morning and that it muM be taken up. The chair ruled against him and he appealed from the ruling. The senate suatained the chair by a vote of 17 ayes to 10 noes. The steam roller had been transferred to the south side of the chamber and was working In full swing, with I tie parts all oiled and narry a cog a-slip-plug Senator Lattlmore raised another point of onier and It went down by the ruling of the olmlr The senator from Tarrant discussed hlrt position Vi the matter and made other points, which suffered adversely under the chair's ruling.

Other pro senators raised other points and suffered defeat similarly. Talk and more talk came from the north side of the chamber upon the offering of every motion or the making of every point of order Three times It was voted to adjourn and as many times the antlH defeated the proposition. Finally at 12:30 o'clock, wh.n it looked as If the question of final passage of the bill was to be put and carried, a half dor.en pro senators grabbed their hats and make quick gft-aways via the cloak rooms. Quorum Wat Forced.

This measure was originally passed by both branches of the legislature but was amended by the free conference committee ThiB last named action of the committee was for the announced purpose of giving Governor Colquitt a chance to submit the measure and thus put aside any question as to Its constitutionality.

The governor submitted the matter In a ape-Hal message today and McNealus immediately Introduced the conference committee's report and had the measure adopted finally will enjoy the distinction, therefore, of hemg the first city in the State to be given the privilege of fixing closing hours for Its saloons.

The house bill providing for one State board to control the four State normals as well as the bill creating the Robstown independent school district In Nueces county were finally passed.

The last act of the day waa the passage of the senatorial districts bill, which represents a gerrymander for the pros. Those members of the white ribbon flock who had suffered defeat In the matter of the congressional districts bill took particular delight Id passing this bill In the afternoon. Hudspeth gave notice that he would assign reasons for opposing the bill, aa Lat-timore had done the congressional bill. There was bantering on both sides until Cofer aald that he wanted to place in the record the figures upon which the apportionment arrangement was baaed. Murray asked what year the figures were based upon and Cofer said on the year 1910.

Peeler called attention to the fact that the pros were investigating poll tax payments of 1911 to get bases for apportionment acts while they were basing their bills In reality on 110 figures. This Is a matter. It would seem, that may be beard from In future campaigns. The House A Number of Bills Were Finally Pined and One Killed. (Houston Post Special.) AUSTIN, Texas, August 21.
