GOTHAM NEWS AND GOSSIP New York, Sept. 27.—Although he has but little more than three months to serve as chief executive of the city, Mayor Kline is being be- sieged with requests for appoint- ments for o flice seekers. The air is changes, despite the announcement made by Mayor Gaynor's successor that he considers the late mayor's appoints so capable that he hardly sces the need of a change for so ishort a term of service. Pressure is being made upon Mayor Kline most of all to remove Police Commissioner Waldo, Fire Commissioner Johnson, and hte air about the city hall will be rather tense until some action |is taken that will put an end to all rumors. In the meantime the city campaign progresses rapidly with new developments every day.

WAS IT ACCIDENT, MURDER OR SUICIDE? HEAVILY INSURED Jacksonville, Sept. 27.—Other | than establishing the cause of the [ death of F. P. Cashings, of the Ala- {bama Power Co., whose body was {found in the water at the south jet- i ty near Mayport, last Monday morn- ing, the inquest is expected to pre- i sent some added features which will tend to show that the death to the Alabama man came either through murder or suicide, and not accident, | as at first believed. It is said from {an authorative source that represen- tatives of some of the larger insur- ance companies are already on the ground making investigations to es | tablish the correct cause of death. It 'is also stated that Mr. Cashings car- ried an enormous amount of insur- ance, which has been taken out on his life very recently. This fact may bring about another legal war over | the settlement of policies by the dif- ferent companies. It has been learned from a guest at the Atlantic hotel that Mr. Cashings was last seen by him on Sunday afternoom, iwalking in the direction of Mayport, | bareheaded, with his mind very muoh occupled, as if brooding over spme troublesome matters. The per- 1son stated that though he wus ac- quainted with Mr. Cashings, he re- fused to speak to him upon passing and continued his walk toward May- port. He had no fishing tackle with |him at this time and was walking very leisurely. The fact that the | i (fizht has settled down to a struggle between the Fusionists and Tam parties will gradually get into line with either one or the other of the dominant factors. This, of course, rdoes not apply to the Socialists and the Independence League. But New York never saw so many different parties in the field as this year, and the many-sided fight helps to make the game interesting. CHEAPER BEEF WHEN CANAL OPENS (By Assoclated Press.)
