FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. | Bishop Greer May Officiate—Police- men and Firemen as Bearers. New York, Sept. 12.—While all New York mourned today for Willlam J. | Gaynor and signal honors were being ’paid the dead mayor in Liverpool, { where his body was taken ashore from the steamer Balti on which he died suddenly at sea on Wednesday, tenta- tive arrangements were being made for { the public obsequies nned to con- stitute a final and striking tribute of New York diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church officiating. His body will be laid at rest in Greenwood ceme- tery, in Brooklyn. The solemn ceremonials on the day of the funeral are to be preceded by various distinctive tributes to the dead executive. On the arrival, prob- ably next Friday afternoon, of the steamer Lusitania, the mayor's body will be taken direct from the steamer to the Gaynor home in Brooklyn, there to remain until Saturday evening,when according to the plans it will be re- moved to the city hall in Manhattan, to lie in state until the hour of his funeral on Monday. The coffin will be borne from the city hall to the hearse and from the hearse to church on the shoulders of uniformed men of the fire nad police departments. General Thomas H. Barry, commandant of the department of the east, has offered an escort of | soldiers from Governor's Island for the body of the mayor from the time of its arrival in the city until the burial. Should Bishop Greer, who is now in Maine, be unable to officiate at the services, nls place will be taken by Suffragan Bishop Burch. Assisting will be the Rev. Dr. Frank Page of Culpepper, Va., formerly pastor of St. John’s church in Brooklyn, of which Mayor Gaynor was a member, and the Rey. L. K. Holden, pastor of the Hpiscopal church of Bt. James, L. L, which the late mayor attended while at his country home In that place, The arrangements for the funmeral will be eubmitted to Mrs. Gaynor at St. James tomorrow for her approval, At the same time, it is expected, the pallbear- ers for the funeral will be selected, seetings of various bodies at whieh resolutions of regret at the mayor's death and tributes to his career as man and official were adopted marked the day. Messages of condolence contin- ued to pour into his family at St James and to Mayor Kline at the city ball. The new mayor, who actively entered upon his new duties today, reiterated his disclaimer of any inten- tion to make any radical changes in the personnel of the city’s officials over whom he has the power of ap- pointment and removal. That Mayor Gaynor's family will be found to be well provided for when his will comes to be probated seems to know more or less accurately the | extent of the mayor's holdings of real estate and securities variously est mated today the value of his estate as | from - $600,000 to $3,000,000, with the consensus of opinion favoring a sum not more than half the larger figure. Mayor Gaynor had a large and lucra- tive law practice before he went on the bench and had realized much in fees from important trusteeships and from wise_investments. The striking event of the day in connection with the political compli- cations which have arisen through the | death of Mayor Gavnor, who was an Aneny, fusion candidate for president promptly declined the honor, declaring he would not accept any nomination in opposition to John Purroy Mitchel, the fusion nomfnee, DRAMATIC SKILL SHOWN BY MISS ELEANOR WILSON President’s Daughter Plays Star Role in Pastoral JMasque. | Meriden, N. H., Sept. 12—Prestdent | Wilson sat in a grove of pine trees to- |night and saw his youngest daughter, | Miss Eleanor, play the star role in a pastoral masque symbolizing the pro- |test of the naturalist against the slaughter of birds for millinery pur- poses. With a dramatic skill which sur- prised her closest friends, as it was her first attempt, Miss Wilson voiced in soft and appealing tones the spirit of the bird lover exhorting the hunter to forsake Her rifle. The sharp crack of a gun followed by the sudden fall of “Ornis, the Bird Spirit” Miss Wilson’s role, marked the climax of the plece. Wounded and Bobbing, “Ornis” is consoled by the fauns, poet dryad and naturalist who in the end dissuade the repentant pinme hunter and make of him a bird lover, The president’s daughter spoke her lines with careful expression and playwrights and literary folks from Uornish and the swrounding hills were costumed in vari-colored gowns and coats and sat on reugh wooden benches fixed on the slope of a hill at the feot of which was the stage, This was marked by logs behind which colered footlights threw shadowy lights ea the encircling pines, Bird whistles and ths incidental strains of an orchestra cen- cealed in the trees and an oecasional Cabied Paragraphs erman Aviator Killed.

London, Sept. 12.—That postal em- ployes connived at the theft of the pearl necklace, valued at $625,000, which mysterfously disappeared on July 16 after having been mailed in Paris to a London dealer, seems to have been established by the evidence presented at the hearing today of the flve men held on suspicion of being concerned in the crime. Mrs. Janin Not Murdered, Havana, Sept. 12.—Mrs. Lena Janin, who was supposed to have beem mur- dered in New York, her body cut up and thrown into the Hudson river, and Vincent Pianalls, whese name has been mentioned in connection with the case, were today found liviag in a house in Havana street here.

New Haven, Conn., Sept. 1 request of General Manage Sanit Bardo, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, at the close of the conferences with the committee of the Brotherhood of Engineers over proposed changes in rules governing engineers upon the system, the com- mittee has submitted a reply in writ- ing. Chairman F. S, Evans of the engineers committee in his reply to Mr. Bardo’'s proposal to abolish the seniority rule of advancement says: ‘“Why does not the New Haven go back to the conditions prior to the fall of 1911 without attempting such rad- ical changes in relation to its engi- neers? TUnder the same rules of oper- ation, the New Haven from 1901 to 1911, whs as safe as any in the coun- try. The present seniority rule was made in 1901. The personnel of the engineers is virtually the same tcday as immediately prior to 191i. For gight years or thereabouts the New Haven was operated safely, It car- ried more than five hundred million persons with enly one fatality, In the fall of 1911 came a change. Henry J. Horn, who succeeded S. Higgins as general manager, atwonce ordered that engineers make time. ‘Time must be made,’ the order read. If an engimeer was a minute late he was jacked up. The first time his engine ran by a sig- nal the engineer was summarily di missed, The ambition was to make a record of trains en time over any railroad in the countiry., The orders put out in the fall of 1911 made New Haven travel unsafe and demoralized the esprit de corps.” As to the preposed echange from the “practical” to.the scientific test of vision, Mr, Evans points to the recerd v | prior te 1911 of the engineers of the road. Objection is made to a change in the discipline of the road. The commit- tee points out that it wants the right of appeal at any time from the de- | cision of a division superintendent and the mechanical superintendent. The reply on this point say “The rights of the engineers have progressed too far to give almost un- the general belief. Friends of the | P o family and individuals in a position | limited power to a division or me- chanical superintendent.” MILITIA CALLED TO PROTECT AN EX-PRIEST by Arouses Citizens of Ohio = Town Attacks on Catholic Church.

Colebrook, N, H., Sept, 12~—The pro. tracted court battle denied Harry K. Thaw in .Canada by his sudden de- portation on Wednesday promises to be waged in the state of New Hamp- shire. His newly retalned counsel hope to have a personal hearing be- fore Governor Felker on the matter of extradition and should extradition be granted to carry the matter to the state supreme court on a writ of habeas corpus. Three of thess at- torneys—N. E. Martin of Copcord, W. H. Olmstead of New York and Mer- rill Shurtleff of Colebrdok—hurried to the capital today. Bull by New York Sheriff. Sherift Hornbeck of Dutchess coun- ty, New York, wherein is located the Matteawan asylum, from which Thaw made his escape nearly a month 0, was enroute here tonlght with the requisition signed by Acting Governor Glynn. As the document must first be laid before Governor Felker, the New York lawyers were chagrined at the sheriff’s mistake in heading for Colebrook. Upon his arrival he or some other representative of the state interests will be turned back to Con- cord. Why Hornbeck started for this place was a mystery to William Trav- ers Jerome, who has for three weeks been trying to get Thaw back to the asylum, . Plan to Seize Thaw. Wednesday next, according to Thaw's lawyers, they expect to have their charge before Governor Felker. They estimate that three days will elapse before he can render a decision. If this is adverse they will apply at once for a writ of habeas corpus, Ar- gument on this would likely be post- poned for another week. This would mean days of weary waiting unless Jerome could engineer some coup. He has now in mind a plan instantly to seize the fugitive in case his defortation is ordered, thus blocking efficlency of the habeas cor- pus writ by concealing from the Thaw counsel the identity of the individual to whom Thaw would be given in charge. The writ would have to be directed against the prisoner's cus- todian at the time gnd if Jerome could work quickly enough and with suffi- cient secrecy his plan might be suc- cesstul, Conspiracy Charge a Subterfuge. In view of the intention of fighting the case out at Concord, Thaw was not brought in court in Colebrook to- day and it is probable that his hear- ing will be postponed again tomor- row and that on Monday he will be taken to the capital r‘pm to the arguments for and agalnst sur- rendering him to New York. The chief argument of his lawyers will be that New York seeks his extradition an a charge of conspiracy—a charge which they contend New York never pur- poses to try him on. Thaw Loses an Outing. They will contend that extradition in such circumstances is a subterfuge and that there are precedents to sus- tain them in this. Thaw left his hotel room for out of doors but once today to go to the barber shop. The sheriff and ten spe- cial guards accompanied him. Ru- mors of kidnapping would not down. The citizen of Coaticook, Que., who was denounced yesters by Jerome as the leader of the anti-Jerome move- ment which resulted in his arrest on a charge of gambling, remained in rook today in spite of the il his preseince has engendered.

The sheriff had agreed to accom- pany the prisoner on a ride and Thaw and his lawyers were about to climb in the machine when the report that two cars bearing Canadians were stationed a half mile or so out of town toward the Canadian frontier. There has been so much feeling shown in the Thaw matter by the Canadians and so many of them have trafled after him here that Jerome put his foot down on the motor trip at once. Through his detective alde, John 2 yan of New York, he im the sheriff with the inadvisabi of such IMberty for the prisoner and Thaw rs- turned disappointed to his room. Reportsd Plans of Canadians. On Monday next he was to have been produced before the king's bemch in Montreal on a writ of habeas - pus. This was rudely upeet by fil efection from the Domimion under or- ders from the minister of justice, but the writ will come up for nevertheless. It was sald that some of Thaw's Canadian adherents are planning to spirit him away to Montreal If possible in the hope that the writ wgfi'}d be mnmfl:;x n.mrm-n. Falling in this, 8o ran, they purposed to put him aboard a yacht and eventually get him to Pennsyl- vania.” Thaw’s lawyers one and all denied knowledge of apy such plan and re- pudiated any inténtion of resorting to “strong arm” wo! r, Jerome on his side sald he was, just as amxious to avold anything ftrregular in con- nection with New York state's en- deavors.
