Intimate friends of Mayor Oaynor believe his death was undoubtedly hastened by grippe and throat trou ble. His private physician advised the ocean trip. It is believed also that the strenu ous days just preceding the Mayor’s departure weakened him. He was in a quarrel with the newspapers, beset by political enemies and engrossed in some of the biggest municipal prob lems that ever beset the biggest city of the North American continent. He had Just got through with a so lution of the subway problem, a gi gantic project, involving the expen diture of $60,000,000. Waldo Deeply Shocked. Police Commissioner Waldo, the warm personal friend of the late Mayor, heard of Mr. Gaynor’a death while he was helping drill BOO recruit policemen. "That is terrible," cried Waldo. "It Is a terrific blow to the city of New York.” Commissioner Waldo and Fire •Commissioner Johnson immediately Issued orders that all the flags on the police stations and firehouses of the city should be placed at half mast. When Commissioner Waldo entered his office later he held a handkerchief to his eyes. Waldo is a burly, rug ged, red-faced man who has received honors for bravery while serving in the United States Army In the Phil- Eventful Life of William J. Gay nor Born Whitestown, Oneida County, New York, 1851. Early education received at Whitestown Seminary. Moved to Brooklyn in 1873. Was a reporter on The Brooklyn Argus, studying law at night. Admitted to bar 1875, and commenced a campaign for political purity which gained him a national reputation as a foe of corruption. In 1893 he was elected a Justice of the Supreme Court for a term expiring December 21, 1907. Re e'ected in 1907 to a term expiring December 31, 1921, but resigned in 1909 to accept the Democratic nomination for Mayor of New York City. Elected Mayor of New York in November, 1909.

Renominated for Mayor as he sailed for Europe in search of health September 4. ippines. but he made no effort to hide his grief to-day. A complex situation i* brought about by the death of the Mayor. Mayor Gay nor was elected upon the Democratic ticket, but Adolph L. Kline, who temporarily succeeds Mayor Oaynor la a Republican. An other feature of the change is the fact that Mr. Kline was not elected president of the Board of Aldermen, but came Into that executive position through the resignation of John Pur- roy Mitchell, who left the board to accept the post of collector of the pon of New York. Acclaimed as People’s Candidate as He Sailed Nominated mb the candidate of the Gaynor Nominating and Fusion J^eague. Mayor Gaynor willed from New York for Liverpool September 4 for a three-week vacation, issuing on the eve of his departure a statement in which he bitterly arraigned Tam many and Tammany leaders. Mayor Gaynor was nominated by Jacob H. SchitT before a great crowd in City Hall Park, with more than 6,000 persons witnessing the notifica tion. Mr. Schiff announced to the crowd that the Mayor was suffering with a sore throat and his speech of acceptance was read by his secretary, Kobert Adamson, while Mayor Gay nor sat in an armchair on the porch of the City Hall. The nucleus of the great crowd which formed the notification com mittee was formed by the Oaynor Marching Club of 1.500 members. They began gathering slowly about 11 o'clock and the throng was soon •welled by the noonday throng* of Broad way and Park Row, with 20ft coming over the bridge from Brook lyn. All of the marchers carried shovels, the emblem of the Oaynor campaign, w’hich they stacked in fron* of the City Hall steps, with a big sign bearing the inscription: “Way down deep under these shov els lies the body of C. F. M. He tried to fire a Governor and grab a city all 1n the same year.” Jacob H. Schiff. the banker, called the meeting to order and presided during the notification ceremonies. JSdward E. McCall, Tammany cundi- datfc for Mayor, viewed the ceremo* spies from hia office on the fourteenth floor of a neighboring building. Speeches were delivered by Mr. Schiff. Mr Bidder, Mr. Clews and others, in which Mayor Gaynor and his administration were lauded.

So secret were his plans that even the captain and purser of the steamship did not know’ he was to he on board until fif teen minutes before his arrival. In his statement Gaynor said: "Murphy and the chaps that sat down with him at Delmonico’s and guzzled and abused me until their faces were red were ready to eat me up: yet I never did anything to them except what tended cb make them look respectable. The people of the city of New’ York know very well what the grievance of these men is. They hate me because I never turned the city departments over to them tor spoliation. 1 did not allow them to loot the city! Every head of a de partment was my man. and not their man “Murphy and his gang want a May or who will appoint their favorites as heads of department*. And then they will get the contracts for everything and pickings will be fat. All sorts of swindling specifications wdll be given out, and unbalanced bids will be called for, and the favored contractor will get the tip how to bid and what will be expected of him. "They are angry because I spoiled their game in the police department At the verv beginning of my adminis tration I laid down the rule that ap pointments and promotions in the po lice department and the fire depart ment should be only by taking the highest men in the list every time. "The old way, under Tammany rule, was to certify at least three to the appointing officer, and then these miserable scamps would get all thr-e to pay them on the representation that they would be able to get th.> appointment. Only one would be ap pointed. but they kept his money and restored the money to the other two. "It was a dirty game they could not loss* at. The captains were pay ing as high as $17,000 for appoint ments. The same thing was going on In the tire department. I took all this graft away from these corrupt so-called political leaders. No won der they attack me. “These miserable political grafters and their associates that sat down **t Delmonico’s now have all the State contracts The result is the grossest frauds known in the State for years. Just look at the highway contracts alone. "1 have entered into no quarrel with them. I simply went on and did my work from day to day. and 1 kept their hands out of the public treasury and out of the contracts by which they reached the public treasury."

Judge Saffold recited that the killing occurred on August 18 and that the defendant for several days could do nothing toward preparing a defense because Judge Godbee’s funeral and the desperate concMtion of the Judge’s wife kept her sons engaged: that finally the young Mrs. Godbee also died and that It was not until after her funeral and interment that the defendant could proceed toward pre paring her case; that she called in Messrs. Dekle and Dixon, Millen at torneys, and after several days it was decided to employ also Judge Saf fold, of Swainsboro. Judge Saffold said he was at that time engaged in the Superior Court of Toombs Coun ty and could not come to Millen. The motion recited further that the defendant had just learned of a ma- Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

Although the highest court in the land affirmed the decision of the lower court, attorneys for Mc- Naughton continued the fight. Stay after stay of the execution of the physician, which originally wan set for the fall of 1910, was obtained through Governor Brown, who de clared repeatedly that the condemned man would not hang until Mrs. Flan ders was tried. The la*t respite granted in June, 1913. put the case in the hands of Governor Slaton. Mrs. Flanders Not Tried. In the meantime Mrs Flanders waited nearly three years In seclusion for the trial, which. It was alleged, the State did not want. Finally, after six postponement* the case against her was nol prossed in the Superior Court of Fulton County in Julv. It was this turn of affa'irs which prompted the attorneys for Mc- Nauehton to renew the fight on the grounds that if Mrs. Flanders was not guilty of her part of the original al legations Dr McNaughton could not be. About ten days ago Judge Saffold and Colonel John Bennett, of Swain«- boro. attorneys for McNaughton. sub mitted to the Georgia Prison Com mission new evidence in the form of h ffida vttf* <>f two ThoraasviHe citizens Mho swure that Flauders hah taken drugs in their presence which he de dared would kill him some day. Feeling Seem* Reversed. Attorney A. S. Bradley, represent lng the State, appeared on the scene at this Juncture with affidavits w’hich he claimed impeached the affidavits of the defense. Following the argu ments by both sides, the case went to the Prison Commission for final de cision. All sorts of charges, which have stirred the State, have been hurled during the course of the McNaugh ton-Flanders case. Perhaps the most startling of these was the charge of the condemned man that certain “factions” in Emanuel County were | plotting to hang hint in order to maintain its supremacy and power. Although public sentiment was strongly against the physician in the i beginning of the trial, recently, it is ! said, a feeling in his favor has come j about. In anticipation vf a full par don Dr. McNaughton less than three weeks ago announced his intention of resuming his profession. Breeds Hybrid Onion That Leaves No Trail ST. CLA1RSVILLE, Uhio.

The motion for continuance stated also that the defendant had reason to believe that Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick had been employed by friends and relatives in Washington County to assist in her defense, ana that she relied greatly on Mr. Hard wick, and that it would be impossible for him to be here at this term of court. Other witnesses, the motion claimed, could be procured by defend ant if she had reasonable time. A serious miscarriage of justice might occur, said the motion in con clusion, if the defendant were forced ♦ o trial, because wdth so many trage dies occurring in Jenkins County there were rumors afloat that "if someone wasn’t convicted there was no telling what would happen.” The defendant claimed, the motion read, that she had done nothing not Justified under the laws of God and man, and prayed the court not to al low a possible miscarriage of justice by forcing her ta trial. Judge Sees No Cause for Delay. The motion was in the form of an affidavit and was sw'orn to by Mrs. Godbee and her attorneys. Judge Saffold, after reading the motion, ex plained to the court that defendant was not trying to get an indefinite delay and postpone the case until an other session of court, which would be six months, but a delay until any reasonable time. Judge Hammond overruled the mo tion for a continuance, stating that no legal grounds had been presented fu! one. He added that it was entirelv a matter of discretion of the court, that he did not think there was any state of public opinion against the defend ant which might, prejudice her ca6*\ and tha in so far as the witnesses mentioned were concerned the de fendant’s attorneys did not even stats whether they were in the jurisdiction of the court. As to Congressman Hardwick, tin* court said he had a telegram from Mi Hardwick merely askinr. when toe case would be called and not stating anything with regard to uheihei he could couit here at this time.

EXCESS PUPILS Jl Slaton Arranges to Accommodate 1,000 More Than Seating Ca pacity of City Institutions. All but 42 of the pupils w’ho ap plied for admission to the Atlanta schools Monday have been provided with seats, and before the close of the day these will have been arranged for. Thus the apparently impossible task of caring for 1,000 pupils above the seating capacity of the schools has been accomplished by Superintendent W. M. Slaton and the principals of the various schools. Monday morning the school author ities found themselves facing an ap parently hopeless tangle in some of the schools, having considerably more applicants than accommodations. In some instances the excess number passed well over the 100 mark. Only 42 Lack Seats. The tangle was unraveled by trans- ferlng many pupils and the establish ment of new grades in some of the schools. The pregent problem is car ing 42 additional “kiddies” in the first grade of the English avenue school. Race suicide apparently is an unheard of issue in this neighborhood, and ad ditional space provided in anticipa tion of a great attendance there w’as found Inadequate. A new first grade will be estab lished here, either in the basement of the present building or in another building In the neighborhood. The children will not be placed in the basement If there Is any possible way to avoid it. By the transferring of many of the pupils quite a number of them will have long distances to go, but every effort has been made to prevent any hardship. Confers With Principals. A conference was held by Superin tendent Slaton with the school prin cipals Thursday afternoon, and 850 of the children cared for. Thursday aft ernoon he will hold another confer ence with the principals of the Edge wood. Inman Park and Highland ave nue schools, which schools are neat each other. Owing to the crowded conditions of these schools the school board some time ago began the construction of the Moreland school, which is expect ed to be ready for occupancy in a fe.v weeks. Five grades will be estab lished, and the overflow' attendance in the primary trades of these three schools will be cared for. SEEKS HABEAS Hearing Set for Thursday After noon — Attorney General As sures Fugitive Square Deal. School Congestion Adjusted by Board. Further adjustment of the crowded condition of Atlanta schools w*as made Thursday as a result of action of the Board of Education at a special meet ing Wednesday afternoon. An option on the Neal property, at No. 44 Moreland avenue, was accept ed. The city is now using the old Neal house for overflow pupils, but If the property is purchased the rent will be deducted. The price is $9,800. The Board gave Superintendent W. M. Slaton authority to rent a cottage in East Atlanta to take care of the big increase in enrollment In the fifth and sixth grades. • An additional teacher was author ized for the Boys’ Technological High School and one for the Girls’ High School. Superintendent Slaton was Instructed to appoint teachers for the new Moreland Avenue School, w’hich is almost completed. These appoint ments must be confirmed by the Board. COLEBROOK, N. H., Sept. 11.— Harry K. Thaw’s eight New Hamp shire lawyers applied to-day to Judge Robert S. Chamberlain, of the Supe rior Court, to free Thaw on a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Chamberlain announced a hearing for this after noon on the question of granting the w rit. It was said that Thaw probably will be taken to the Jail at Lancaster, N. H., to-night if the writ is refused. “Harry Thaw will get a square deal in New r Hampshire,” declared Attor ney General James P. Tuttle just be fore leaving Manchester for Cole- brook to-day. *T have received no official notification that Thaw is in this State. I have not seen Governor Felker’s statement that the matter is up to me.” Dodges Extradition Query. The Attorney General was asked if he thought it possible Thaw would be extradited. “That deepnds,” he replied, "on what process of law is followed by the New’ York authorities.” Thaw to-day began his fight on United States soil against extradi tion back to New York and conse quent Incarceration in the Matteawan Asylum for the Criminal Insane. With pompous alacrity, which had been somewhat subdued by the un expected, strenuous and turbulent events of the past 24 hours. Thaw be gan his preparations for battle with the declaration that his lawyers W’ould not let William T. Jerome “railroad” him back to the asylum without a hard fight. Jerome, former District Attorney of New York, who is here as a special attorney general of the State of New York, said that the extradition pro ceedings would be rushed with the utmost dispatch. Jerome Confident. 'We will try to imitate Canadian celerity,” said Jerome. “We shall not allow’ quibbling to interfere with the transfer of Thaw’ back to the lunatic asylum where he belongs.” In fact, Mr. Jerome indicated strongly that he had assurances from Governor Samuel Felker, of New’ Hampshire, and Attorney General James H. Tuttle, of this State, that there would be no delay in giving the fugitive a hearing in the extradition proceedings. Thaw’ already has four lawyers re tained and said that within 24 more hours he hoped to have a dozen able counselors on the scene fighting ex tradition. Thaw w’as still disgruntled over the action of the Dominion Government in going over the head of the courts to deport him. Thaw Hops* for U. S. Justice. "I hope to get a better variety of justice under the Stars and Stripes.” said he. He also hoped that his law yers in Montreal, headed by Judge Greenshields and N. K. LaFlamme, W’ould be able to secure his legal re turn to Canada. Deputy Attorney General Franklin Kennedy, of New' York State. Jerome and other lawyers representing the Empire State and Dutchess County (in which Matteawan is located), base their fight for extradition upon the warrant charging Thaw with conspir ing to escape from the asylum. The Thaw’ lawyers, in considering every angle of defense offered, decid ed to make one branch of their de fense upon the contention that Thaw, being insane in the eyes of New York authority, could not conspire.
