historic edifice. Covered with the
. Stars and Stripes and with the British
Union Jack draped over its foot, the
casket rested on a catafalque brought

abra Cross Westminster Abbey cast a
subdued Ihibt up the wide stairway
and over the detail of picked men
from the-Liverpool police force who
stood guard all nfjht abbut the cata
falque. John SatkerlandHarmood-Banner,
lord mayor of the city, who Is absent
pn vacation, had telegraphed the city
authorities of Liverpool to do every
thing 1h their power in honor of the
dead mayor of iew York, and they
carried out their instructions In mi
nute detail.
81x policemen, who were relieved at
intervals, stood at attention around
the casket all night and continued this
duty until the body'waa removed from
the town hall Saturday for the sad
homeward voyage on the Cunard
line steamer Lusltanla, on which
special mortuary chapel has been pre
pared. Bight uniformed quartermas
ters will form the guard of honor dur

New York, Sept. 13. News 'of the
death of Mayor "William J. Gaynor of
New; Ycrk, which occurred on the
steamer Baltic on AVoilijfca'day, was
sent by wireless by klsiion Rufus.
The dispatch follows:
"My father, Mayor Gaynor, died on
the Baltic at seven minutes to one
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
"Death was due to heart trouble.
He Was sitting in a deck chair when
the end came. A deck steward had
boen with him but a few moments
before his death and had taken his
order for lunch. The mayor had
marked tho menu to indicate the
dtBhes he desired. I was on the boat
deck.
"I went below at lunch call to tell
father that his lunch was ready. Ho
had been taking his meals in one of
tho state rooms. Ho was seated in
bis chair, apparently asleep. I shook
him gentry, Tiut ho did not respond.
"His trained nurse, who had been
with him ten minutes previously, was
summoned, and the ship's surgeon,
Doctor Hopper, was called. The may
or was given a hypodermic Injection,
and artificial respiration was resorted
to. But it was quickly apparent that
ho was beyond aid.
"The body was taken in charge by
the ship's officers. It was embalmed
and placed in a sealed casket
"During the voyage his health had
steadily Improved.
"On behalf of my mother, my fam
ily and myself, I wish to express pub
licly my deep gratitude to Captain
Ranhotn and his officers for kindness,
courtesy and unfailing thoughtfulness.
"I wish to acknowledge my debt to
the passengers for their courteousneas
and consideration at all times in re
specting the mayor's desire for pri
vacy. "
"RUFUS W. GAYNOR."
By the death of Mayor Gaynor, a
Republican becomes chief executive
of New York city, President Adolph
L. Klino of tho board of aldermen
succeeds to the office.
When Tammany leader Charles F.
Murphy, whom Mayor Gaynor two
weeks ago denounced as a "political
crook," heard or the city executive's
death, he said :
"I am very much shocked. I know
he went away from here very much
run down in health. All I can say, Is
I regret Mayor Gaynor's death."-
Mrs. Gaynor was notified Imme
diately or her husband's death. She
was deeply grieved, but bore up
bravely.

habeaar'ci rpus. Tho writ will bo ap

GOVERNOR.
HAD NO TRADING WITH WIFE
Testifies Before Nine Managers Ap
pointed by New York Assembly
and Says Executive Paid Him $1o
000 After Election.
New York, Sept. 15. The transac
tions in Wall street made by Governor

brokers was concorned on July 14
last were described under oath on Fri
day by Melville D. Fuller, who said- he
was Sulzer'B broker, In a hearing held
by tho nlno impeachment managers
appointed by the assembly.
Mr, Fuller, who before the Frawloy
investigating commission refused to

Frfday answered all questions, He tes
tified that Sulzer'hud piwf him $16,000
in person within a month and a day
aftor tho last election and that he
(Fuller) had had no dealings with
Mrs. Sulzer.
According to Fuller's testimony,
Sulzer, while a representative,, opened
an account with his firm, Harris &
Fuller, June 27, 1910. In September
Sulzer borrowed $23,000 from the firm,
giving as collateral 400 shares of
"Big Four" railroad stock. In Novom-,
ber of the same year Sulzer added
some American Smelter stock to his
collateral held by tho brokers.
"Big Four declined from 80 to 37
within a year," Mr. Fuller continued,
"but Mr, Sulzer bought somo moro of
the stock and added Southern Pacific
to his holdings."

after he was elected governor, Mr.
Fuller continued, Sulzer walked Into
tho office of Harris & Fuller with ton
$1,000 bills In his hands.

Indebtedness, owing to other transac
tions, having Increased to $0012. On

Sulzer paid in person $6,000
more inacash on his account.
On Juno 16 of this year Sulzer's
debt to the brokers had been further
reduced. One of the checks, Mr. Ful
ler said, was from A. E. Sprlggs, a
former governor of Montana.

Governor Sulzer's staff visited tho of
fice of Harris & Fuller on July 16 last,
Mr. Fuller added, and closed tho ac
count by paying the balance, $26,739,
Josephthal presented an order, signed
"William Sulzer, for Mrs. Sulzer."

nor Wilson, daughter of tho president,
made her debut Friday night as an ac:
tross In a play entitled "Sanctuary,"
by Percy Mackaye, author of "Joanne
d'Aro" and "The Scarecrow." The
president and Mrs. Wilson were in the
audience. The play was well received.
It is a protest against the slaughtering
of birds for millinery purposes.
With a dramatic skill which sur
prised her closest friends, as it was
her first attempt, MIbs Wilson voiced
in soft and appealing tones the spirit
or the bird-lover exhorting the hunter
to forsake his weapon.
Tho sharp crack or a gun, followed
by the sudden foil of "Ornls, the bird
spirit," Miss Wilson's role, marked
tho climax of the piece. Wounded and
sobbing, "Ornls" is consoled by the
fauns, poet, dryad and naturalist, who
dlssaude the ropentant plume hunter
and make of him a bird lover. The
president's daughter spoke her lines
with -careful expression and was en
thusiastically applauded.
The sotting was both unique and
picturesque. Those in the audience,
composed entirely or artists, poets,
playwrights and literary tolk from
CornlBh and the surrounding hills,
were costumed in varicolored gowns
and coats and sat on rough wooden
benches fixed on the- slope of a hill
at the foot of which was the stage.
As a prpludo to the performance
Miss Margaret Wilson, oldest daughter
of tho president, sang "The Hermit
Thrush."
Besides the President and Mrs. Wil
son the presidential party consisted
of Miss Jessie. Wilson, second daugh
ter, and her fiance, Francis B. Sayre,
and several house guests.
Mrs. Herbert Adams, wife of the
artist, slipped on rough ground. and
broke her left leg and dislocated an
ankle just before the performance be
gan. She was taken to her home and
cared for by a physician.

USE HELIOGRAPH TO SIGNAL
Instrument, Made Much Use of by
Armies, Is Nothing but a Mirror
Flash Long Distances.
The heliograph, which, is usod so
largely by armies in the field for sig
naling purposes, Is nothing more than
a mirror, by which tho sun's rays aro
caught, and reflected.
Tho flasheB can bo thrown in any
doslred direction, tho ordinary Morse
code bolng usually employed. The
distance to which these flashes can
be thrown and read Is almost Incredi
ble. During ono ot Encland's llttio
Indian wars, when an expedition was
sent to punish the Wazlrl, outposts
communicated with tho main force
when 70 miles away.
Apart from signaling, tho distance
at which objects can bo discerned by
the eye depends on two things tholr
height, and tho clearness of the air.
The most conspicuous object hi the
British isles is Count Snowdon, in
Wales, which on a clear day can bo.
distinctly seen from Gray Head,
County Wicklow, a distance ot no Icbb
than 85 miles. Snowdon can also be
seen from' Waterloo, Liverpool, a dis
tance of 52 mllos. '
In Mexico tho air is said to be
clearer than anywhero else in tho
world. At any rate, it Is the only
country where a vlow extending to 200
miles can bo obtained. By climbing
to tho top of the Sierra mountains the
lonely peak ot Mount Sparta can be
seen. It would take four hours by ox
press train to reach it.
