New York, Sept. 11.—Mayor Gaynor died yesterday on the steamer Baltic in mid-Atlantic. News of his death reached here to- day in a cablegram from his son, Rufus W. Gaynor, to the mayor's secretary. It said: “Father djed Wednesday at 1 o'clock, due to heart failure; notify mother.” .~ Mayor Gaynor sailed for Europe several days ago intending to spend a short time recuperating. Mayor Gaynor sailed Sept. 4 for the announced purpose of a brief vacation on the ocean. It was thouzht the salt air would restore his health. A statement by his see- refary immediately before his parture denied rumors that the ill. The re- currence of throat trouble had prac- tically disappeared. It was said this trouble was brought on by a bullet wound iInflicted by James J. Gallagher in 1910. The mayor said of his condition: f “I have been nearly four years mayor and have not yet had a va- cation. T have been laid up a few days with one sharp attack occa- sioned from a mishap some years ago, but am now over it and hope ! never to have another.” | de- | TH CABLED TO NEW YORK TO OR'S SON, RUFUS W. Kline Now the Mayor The Baltic was due at Queens- {town Friday. News of the death | was sent by wireless to Crook Haven "and cabled to Robert Adamson, the ma)‘ér's secretary here. He had ex- pected to sail from Liverpool on his return Sept. 18. He intended to re-enter the mayorality campaign with his old-time vigor on his re- "turn. The day before he sailed he ' was notified by representatives of \ independent organizations that they "would support him for re-election. e was too weak to respond and his secretary read his speech of ac- ceptance. Ile was placed at the head of an independent ticket after Tammany had refused his renomi- nation. Ilis sclection was due main- ly to his personal popularity. Lacking other details supple- menting the cable messaze relayed from Crook Haven, friends are in. clined to believe that Mayor Gay- nov's heart failure was brought on by a fit of coughing. At 11 a. m., Greenwien time, the Baltic was re- ported 250 miles off Queenstown, due there at 2 a. m., Friday Adolph L. Kline, who becomes mayor, is a Republican. He is act- ing president for the board of alder- men. DID HE FORCE POISON DOWN HER THROAT? Lake City, Fla., Sept. 11.-— Trefon Constantinu was arrested and | placed in jail here recently pending an examination concerning the at- tempted suicide of his wife on Sun. day. Ile is suspected of having tried to force acid down her throat. Screams issuing from the apart- ments over Constantinu’s store Sun- day afternoon caused the discovery of his wife in a dangerous condition, spitting carbolic acid and blood. Dr. J. P. Burns was called, but whenhe arrived her mouth was in such a paralyzed condition that he could! not open it wide enough to examine, but ghe stated that she had not swallowed the acid, and that the blood came from her mouth. Her | chest was also badly burned, and ler husband’s hands were burned badly, too. There is a rumor current that Con- stantinu had tried to force the a“_id‘ down her throat, but when Deputy Sheriff Joe Roebuck went to investi- | gate, Mrs. Constantinu stated that ! she had *‘taken it of her own free | will and accord” because she had a severe headache. It is supposed that the real cause was domestic unhap. piness. Her condition today is as isting circumstances.

VILLAR CAN EOLD THE FOREIGN GOLD HE FOUND " Tampa, Pensacola, Sept. 11.—Charles Villar, who found a variously esti- mated amount of Spanish money a few wecks ago, in Bayou Chico, has been advised in a letter from com.- petent authorities in Washington that all the gold he came across is worth its own weight, or that he can dispose of it readily at market bullion prices. Mr. Villar did not any advice relative to the current face value of his gold, but he s satigfled that the welght and fineress are such that he was rich- ly repaid for the necessary expense h: incurred in gettine the treasure from its long time muddy bed. Just as soon as pending arrangements can be closed up, Mr. Villar said he woiuld place samples of his “find” on exhibition, sayinz some of the coins would be digplayed in the show window of White & White, on Pala- receive feit is in an i ion of the $20 is- sue of the Second National Bank of | Baitimore.

H. | Floyd of Apalaclhicola, in his tele- gram to the Pensacola News of yes. | ‘The Times is ¢ terday, which ‘was sent by the News | to the Times. The printed Dbill showed” two Third districts and no Second district, which, according to J. Will Yon, the Times' Tallahas-'! see representative, was an error on the part of the printer. In response to the Times' wire Mr. Yon telegraphed as follows: “Mr. Floyd's assertions are not altogether correct and there is hard- | ly any necessity for apprehensions ' in the premises. 1 have examined | both the printed law and the en- rolled bill. The printed law does show two Third districts ard no Second district, but the enrolled bill s all rizht with regard to this as- pect of the case. The printed law carrying two Third districts is a mistake of the printer and I have a | copy of the printed law before me carryine an errata to this effect. “So far as the effective date of the act is concerned he is correct on that. It is evident that this see. tion of the act does nmot mean ex- actly what its advocates intended and it is the general opinion that [ andidates for congressmen will en- ter the primaries of next year contemplated by the supporters uf; the act in the last legislature.'— Tampa Times. as THAW'S HEARING 0 BE HELD THIS AFTERNOON Whether New York Has Any Claim on Prisoner Is to Be Decided (By Associated Press.) Colebrook, Sept. 11.—Harry K. Thaw’s hearing was postponed by four thig afternoon. It is generally be- lieved it will go over until tomor- row. At this hearing will be de- cided the legality of New York State's claim for possession of the prigoner. Thaw slept late and was followed to the barber shop by the usual crowd and seemed to be in high spirits. WHERE GRAPEFRUIT NEVER GETS A LOOK IN It is reported from London that a recent attempt to inlrmluc(:‘ grapefruit as a breakfast food had failed and that a heavy importation of those delicacies had caused such‘ a slump in the market that coster. mongers are selling them from bur-; rows for a penny apiece. This will surprise no one who has ever lived in England. That coun- try has known many chanzes during the last few years. Caste lines have been obliterated; the silk hat is no longer an object of reverential worship;. actors have been knighted and bands introduced into restau- rants. But the breakfast table is the last ditch of British conserva- tism. The Englishman eats hmoni and eggs 365 mornings in the year, | and welcomes leap year because f{t enables him to indulge in that de-| lightful dish 366 times. i The monarchy may be abolished and the House of Lords deprived of its prerogatives, but the l~)nglish‘ breakfast will remain as it was in | the days of the conqueror. Grape. fruit will never have a place in it. —DBaltimore News. (By Ageoclate Press.)
