3 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS, DECK OF TOE BIT Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND, Sept. 12.—The death ship Baltic of the White Star Line, bearing the body of Mayor William ,T. Gaymr, of New York City, arrived in port at 4:25 a. m., bringing fresh details of the famous American’s death. The stateroom occupied by Rufus W. Gaynor, son of the late execu tive, was roped off and guarded by a cordon of ship’s stewards. It was explained that young Mr. Gaynor was overcome by his father's death and had been suffering intense mental anguish for nearly 48 hours. Officials of the consular office m Queenstown visited young Mr. Gay nor and later viewed the body of his father, which had been temporarily prepared and lay in a stateroom. Officials who had entrance to Ru fus Gaynor’s stateroom said that tho young man had not slept an hour since his father's sudden der th at 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Nor had he eaten anything. He has been constantly under the care of the ship’s physician. When Mayor Gaynor embarked for a sea voyage on Thursday, September 4. it was known that his physical con dition was run down. Mr. Gaynor showed signs of weakness, but after the ship had been at sea a few days he seemed to grow better. He spent much of his time alone or with his son. Seemed To Be Improved. Officers of the Baltic, it was learned here, repeatedly asked Mayor Gaynor if they could not perform some spe- . cial service for him, but the sick man would reply: “If you treat me as well as you treat others, I’ll be satisfied. I am only a passenger like the others. I am content.” The morning of Mayor Gaynorls t death the sick man seemed in better spirits than usual. He walked the deck for some time in the warm sun shine, apcompanied by the small son of one of the passengers. A warm attachment had sprung up between the tall, grave, gray-bearded man and the little 3-year-old boy. Mr. Gaynor had been telling the lit tle fellow stories about some of the big fish which live in the sea and , Jaughed heartily at some of the ques tions which came back to Mm. Shortly before 1 o’clock Rufus Gay nor went below to look after bis fa ther’s luncheon. He returned shortly to find his father huddled up in a deck chair. Young Mr. Gaynor thought at first that his father was sleeping and shook him gently by the shoulder. The pallor of the recum bent man’s face caused his son to be come alarmed and the ship’s surgeon, Dr. Hopper, was called. He immedi ately pronounced Mayor Gaynor dead from heart failure. Although Rufus Gaynor realized that his father’s condition of health was serious, he was completely s unned by his parent’s sudden death. . i was all he could do to write the wireless message which was received in New York City yesterday morning WOLFSBEIMER 114=116 Whitehall Specials For Cash Only BEEF Stew Meat 8c Brisket iOc Pot Roast 12 1=2 to 15c Rib Roast 15 to 17 I=2c Chuck Steaks 15c Round Steaks 17 I 2c Loin Steaks 20c Porterhouse Steaks 20c VEAL Veal Stew 10c Vea!

J., three years ago. Mr. Gaynor’s frame was emaciated, and Dr. Hop per said that it was only by the most tremendous exertion of will power that the dead official could h#ive held himself to his tasks. The death of Mayor Gaynor cast a pall of gloom over the ship. All the dances and other festivities on board were canceled and the passengers adopted a resolution of condolences, which they tendered to Rufus Gay nor. The male nurse who accompanied Mr. Gaynor to attend to his physical comforts, and who seldom left his patient’s side, said that the Mayor seemed to be suffering, but never complained. Did Not Discuss Politics. * The last words he is known to have spoken were addressed shortly before his death to a person who asked how he was feeling. “I am feeling very well; thank you,” replied Mr. Gaynor. Mayor Gaynor did not discuss poli tics on the voyage, saying time and again that his trip was for complete rest and that he did not intend io bother his mind about political af fairs or municipal problems for a fortnight. Many came to the conclusion that, in addition to taking the voyage for rest, Mayor Gaynor also took it as a means of getting a fortnight of semi seclusion in which he might think out his own course in the fall cam paign in New York, decide upon is sues and, in brief, settle all political questions upon which his mind had been in doubt. If the Mayor felt that his end was near he did not show it. He left no message- for the world. Mrs. C. N. Williamson, the -well- known writer, who was a passenger on the Baltic, said that Mayor Gaynor appeared in the best of health and spirits. “He died with a smile upon his face and a look of perfect content in his eyes,” said Mrs Williamson. “His death was the most beautiful that one would ever see. His face was turned upward to the sun, his hands were clasped beneath a steamer rug. His life on board had been very quiet. He kept much to himself in his cabin, Occasionally he walked the deck with his son. He became the chum of the little son of one of the passen gers and they spent some time to gether in the warm sunshine. Mr. Gaynor must have had a large* fund of children’s stories, for ho kept the tot interested every minute of their time together. Mr. Gaynor appre ciated music and attended the con certs regularly.” The plan of transferring the body to the liner Cedric on a tender was abandoned. A grim coincidence in this connection is that Mr. Gaynor had planned to return on the Cedric. There was a Miss Gaynor on th6 passenger list and a Mr. Whalen, but It was officially denied that the young woman was a relative of Mayor Gaynor. She just happened to be of the family name. The Gaynor party consisted of Mayor Gaynor, his son Rufus and the male nurse. Gaynor’s Body to Come Home on the Lusitania. LIVERPOOL, Sept. 12.—All plan! for the immediate shipment of the body of the late William J. Gaynor to New York were made here to-day by the United States Consul. The Baltic was scheduled to arrive this evening at 7 o’clock with the body of the dead American on board. Arrangements were made with tho Cunard Line to transfer; the body to the Lusitania, which will probably ar rive at New York next Thursday. The Lusitania will not sail until to-mor row, which will give ample time for the embalming of the body. A local undertaker supplied a casket at the request of the United States Consul. The first official honors were paid to the memory of the late Mr. Gaynor here. The Lord Mayor of Liverpool to-day ordered that the town hall, appropriately decorated this morning, should be tendered as the resting place of Mayor Gaynor’s body until the Lusitania sails to-morrw. When the casket is taken to the Cunard pier it will be escorted by a cortege ! of mounted police. A cordon of police will watch be side the body during the night. The United States Consul here will ! take a leading part in the ceremonials attending the shipment of the remains to-morrow. N. Y. City Officially Mourns Mayor Gaynor. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—New York City was a city of mourning to-day for its dead, .Mayor W. J. Gaynor. Flags new at half mast and public buildings—the City Hall, police head quarters. the municipal building— were draped in black. The- Board of Estimate, called to gether by Adolph L. Kline, the May- t*»a<ssc«>ftca»s»gaiffiCK8»30CTC8»acbc><8C8»»x^ or’s successor, met this forenoon to arrange for a public funeral to take place after the arrival here of the Mayor’?' body aboard the steamer Lusitania, which sailed to-day from Liverpool and Is due here next Fri day. Monday, September 22, has been suggested as a tentative date. There also were to be meetings of the dead executive’s cabinet—com missioners of various city depart ments—and of the Board of Aider- men to pass appropriate resolutions on the death of the chief executive and to take in hand the city govern ment, confused by the Mayor's sud den taking off. The recent resignation of John Purroy Mitchell, now candidate for Mayor, from the presidency of the Board of Aldermen, and the sudden elevation of Mr. Kline, vice chairman of the board, to the Mayor’s chair, has left that body without a head. The new Mayor, a Republican who will serve until a successor, to be chosen at the coming November elec tion, Is inaugurated on January 1, in tends, ho has announced, to carryout the policies of the Gaynor adminis tration. “in so far as I know them.’’ and to make no changes in appointive officials.
