Dewey entered Manila Bay early in the morning of May 1, attacked and annihilated the enemy's ships, captured the arsenal at Cavite, de- stroyed the fortifications at the mouth of the bay, and established a blockade of Manila.

FOLK, Joseph W .:


Governor of Missouri; he was born in Brownsville, Tenn., on Oct. 28, 1869, and is the youngest Governor Missouri ever had. His father was Judge Henry B. Folk, of Brownsville, and his mother is a descendant of the Estes family of Vir- ginia. He received his literary and legal education at Vanderbilt University, go- ing to St. Louis in 1892, where he iden- tified himself with the younger element of the Democratic party. He was one of the charter members of the Jeffer- son Club, which has become the leading Democratic organization of the city, and was elected its president in 1898. His first step into prominence, however, was taken in 1900, when St. Louis was thrown into confusion by the great street car strike of that year. After every effort at arbitration had failed Mr. Folk took a hand and attracted the lead- ers of both sides, bringing about a set- tlement of a strike that had caused loss of life and widespread destruction of property. He was a lawyer and this feat made him a logical candidate for office, and he was nominated and elected Dis- trict Attorney. His first task was to prosecute men of his own party against whom the cry of fraud at the polls had been raised . He brought the straw- bondsmen, with whom the State was overrun, to their Waterloo, sending four to the penitentiary. He then assailed the corruptionists, and Councilmen, Alder- men and big men in the party fell be- fore him. His life was threatened more than once, but he continued undeterred. The keynote of the Gubernatorial con- vention last July was the fight against bribery and corruption, and Mr. Folk got the nomination, winning at the election, al- though the State went Republican for the national ticket. Mr. Folk has four brothers living and is married, but has no children. Address, Jefferson City, Mo.

Coke and iron manufacturer; born


West Overton, Pa., Dec. 9, 1849. His ancestors came from Switzerland in 1750 and settled in Pennsylvania. His ma- ternal grandfather, Abraham Overholt, was one of the largest landholders of his time in the southwest section of the State. Mr. Frick was educated in the public schools and at Otterbein Univer- sity, Ohio, and began his business life as a store clerk at Mount Pleasant, Pa., becoming, in 1869, a bookkeeper in his grandfather's office at Broad Ford. The value of the coking-coal deposits at this locality attracted his attention in 1871, and after a thorough investigation of the material and the business, then in its infancy, he formed with several friends the partnership of H. C. Frick & Co., bought 300 acres of coal lands, and built about fifty coke ovens. The bus- iness proved very profitable, there being a ready sale for its product, and after the panic of 1873 he bought and leased works and lands widely; in 1876 bought out his partners, and in 1882 formed t' H. C. Frick Coke Company, with $2,000,- 000 capital. The Carnegie Bros. & Co. soon became large stockholders in the company, and the capital was increased to $10,000,000. This company is now the largest coke producer in the world, owning in the Connellsville region 40,- 000 acres of coal lands and 12,000 coke ovens, employing more than 11,000 hands and yielding about 25,000 tons of coke daily. In 1889 Mr. Frick became a member of the firm of Carnegie Bros. & Co., and on its consolidation in 1892 as the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, with a capital of $25,000,000, he became the executive head of the organization. Of the labor disturbances with whic' he had to deal, much the most notable was the strike at the Homestead works of the company in 1892. This was brought about by his efforts to equalize the rates of wages and reduce the ex- tavagant pay of the "tonnage men." A lockout ensued, extreme disorder and rioting broke out, and on July 23, while he was seeking to adjust the difficulties his office was entered by a man named Berkman, who shot him twice and stab- bed him. In spite of his severe wounds he kept up the contest, and in the end won the fight, and within less than a year after the new scale of wages was


adopted, the men acknowledged that he was right, and the strike unjustified. Since 1892 there have been no more labor troubles in the two companies with which Mr. Frick is connected, and their employees are the best paid workmen in the world. In 1895 his duties as Chair- man of the Carnegie Steel Company were reduced by the appointment of a Presi- dent, and in 1897 he ceased to manage the minor affairs of the coke company. In 1899 the properties of which he was the official head consisted of mines yield- ing 6,000,000 tons of iron ore annually; the coke lands and product above men- tioned; steamship coal and ore carriers on Lake Erie; a railroad from Lake Erie to Pittsburg; 70,000 acres of natural gas territory; nineteen blast furnaces and five steel mills, yielding 3,250,000 tons


of steel annually. In 1899 a personal dispute on financial matters arose be- tween Mr. Frick and Mr. Carnegie, but this was soon adjusted and was fol- lowed by the formation of the Carnegie Company, with $160,000,000 paid-up cap- ital, and including the steel and coke works with numerous subsidiary com- panies. Since then the United States Steel Company has been organized, with $1,100,000,000 capital, the most stupen- dous industrial enterprise in the world.

Childs, of Pittsburg, and has one son and one daughter living. Ad- dress, Pittsburg, Pa.
