Definite assurance came early this week from Harry Vissering, 257 Ken- ilworth avenue, Kenilworth, who is vice-president of the Goodyear-Zep- pelin company and who is accompany- ing the Eckener party as Chicago's representativeathat the great Zeppelin will fly over Kenilworth sometime this week-end, supposedly today. Requests were sent to Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, from all north shore towns as far north as Lake Forest and Wau- kegan asking him to fly here with the dirigible. The Graf Zeppelin was due to leave Lakehurst, N. J.,, Wednesday night or Thursday morning, coming via Cleveland, Akron, and Detroit to Chicago. The time of its departure and of its arrival here was largely de- pendent on weather conditions. Waukegan's Lightweights Chalk Up 6 to 0 Victory Waukegan's lightweight team beat the New Trier Frosh-Sophs, by a 6 to 0 score in a game played before the varsity battle, last Saturday. It was the Gray-Green players' first appearance away from home and they seemed handicapped by the different playing conditions and the presence of such a large crowd. Waukegan, tak- ino advantage of this, started a drive which was stopped only a few yards from New Trier's goal. The visitors tried to kick out, but a Waukegan man blocked the punt and one of his teammates fell on it back of New Trier's line. The try for the extra point failed. The New Trierites began to play a much better game in the second quar- ter and during the rest of the game they kept the ball in Waukegan's ter- ritory most of the time although they weren't able to put a touchdown over.

Mr. Gates was fifty- five years old and had lived in Wil- mette for almost twenty years. For the last nine years Mr. Gates had been active on the New Trier High school board, and had served as president of the board for a part of that time. His membership on the Chicago Board of Trade dated from 1906. In 1911 he was made a director. He was first elected head of the Board of Trade in 1919 and was re-elected the following year. Mr. Gates also served one term as trustee of the Wil- mette Village board several vears ago. Mr. Gates was born in Canton, Pa., was graduated from Lafayette college, of which he was a life trustee, and entered the grain commission business in 1906 as a member of the firm of Lamson Bros. and company. He was a partner in this firm until his death, and was one of the foremost members of the legislative committee of the National Grain exchange, national or- ganization of which every grain ex- change is a member. In addition to his activities in the grain business, Mr. Gates was president of the Laurel Book company of Chicago. and Laurel, Ind., and a former western manager for the Appleton company, book pub- lishers. Mr. Gates' kindliness, friendliness, and interest in young people and their education were among his most not- able characteristics. His charities and philanthropies were conducted so quietly that only a few of his most intimate friends knew of their extent. Active in Civic Affairs : As first vice-president of the Citi- zens' Association of Chicago, Mr. Gates was an active and valuable mem- ber of that organization, which is the oldest civic reform association in Chi- cago. He had served on the board of the Citizens' association for the last eight years, and had been acting president during the absence of the president last summer. Mr. Gates was a member of the North Shore Golf club, the Union League club, the Art Institute, the Commonwealth club, and the Delta Upsilon fraternity. Surviving him are his widow, Mrs. Josephine Lamson Gates; a daughter, Helen Gates, who is attending Swarth- more college; his mother, Mrs. Ste- phen Pratt Gates, of Canton, Pa.: a sister, Mrs. Sarah Gates Crockett, of State college, Pa., and a brother, Harry C. Gates, of Canton. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the First Congregational church of Wilmette by Dr. Howard A. John- ston of Milwaukee, a friend of the Gates family, and the Rev. Vere V. Loper, pastor of the church. Repre- sentatives of the Board of Trade, the Union League club, and other organi- zations of which Mr. Gates was a member attended the services. The Board of Trade closed early last Sat- urday and a memorial service for Mr. Gates was held on the floor of the ex- change at 11:30 o'clock. After cremation at Graceland ceme- tery on Monday, the family left Tues- day for Mr. Gates' 'boyhood home. at Canton, Pa, where the aslies wilt be laid to rest. 4 0
