THOSE PRINT SHOP CIPHERS AGAIN. Hot Springs, Ark., February 17;. John W. Gates is here with a party of friends, but he says he came to "plunge" only in the hot waters of the springs. "Do you know," he said with a laugh, "that statistics compiled by my secretary from newspaper reports of my betting at the racetracks In New York last year show me a profit ot S40,-000,000 between April 15 and NovemlKT 17i. Now, if I got to plunging here at Oaklawn I might lose some of those imaginative winnings. I lost the biggest bet I made last season. It was at Saratoga on the day that Balrd was ruled oft and It was on the horse he rode."
