QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND, Sept.
12.—The death ship Baltic of the
White Star Line, hearinr the body <>f
Mayor William J. Gayn- of New
York City, arrived In port at 4:25
a. m.. brlnpintf fresh details of the
famous American’s death
The stateroom occupied by Rufus
W. Oavnnr, son of the late execu
tive. was roped off and guarded by a
cordon of Rhlp’s stewards. It was
explained that younsr Mr. Oaynor was
overcome by his father's death an 1
had been suffering Intense mental
anvulsh for nearly 48 hours.
officials of the consular office in
Queenstown visited youn* Mr. Oay
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 Oaynor's stateroom said that the
younj? man had not slept an hou"
since his father's sudden de fh at 1
o’clock Wednesday afternoon. N-*r
had he eaten anythin*. He has been
constantly under the care of the ship's
physician.
When Mayor Oaynor embarked for
a sea voyage on Thursday. September
4. it was known that h1s physical con
dition was run down. Mr. Oaynor
showed signs of weakness, hut 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
fon.
Seemed To Be Improved.
Officers of the Baltic, it wan learned
here, repeatedly asked Mayor Oaynor
if they could not perform some spe
cial service for him, but the sick man
would reply: “If you treat me ns well
ns you treat others. I’ll be satisfied.
I am only a passenger like the others.
1 am content.”
The morning of Mayor Oaynor’s
dentil the sick man seemed in better
spirits than usual. He walked the
dock for some time in the warm sun
shine. accompanied by ti e small son
of one of the passengers. A warm
attachment had sprung up between
the tall, grave, gray-bearded man an 3
the little 3-year-old boy.
Mr. Oaynor had been telling the lit
tle fellow stories about some of the
big flsh which live in the sen and
laughed heartily at some of the ques
tions which came back to him.
Shortly before 1 o’cloc k Rufus Oay
nor went below to look after his fa
ther's luncheon. He returned shortly
to find his father huddled up in a
deck chair. Young Mr. Oaynor
thought at ilrst 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-
cojut alarmed and the ship’s surgeon.
l)r. Hopper, was called. He immedi
ately pronounced Mayor Oaynor dead
from heart failure.
Although Rufus Oaynor realized
that his father s condition of health
was serious, he was completely
stunned by his parent’s sudden death.
It ny us all he could do to write the
wireless message which was received
in New York (’Hy yesterday morning
by Robert Adumson, Mr. Caynor's
Dr. Hopper, w ho was more or less
acquainted with the history of Mayor'
Ghnuot. said that his constitution
steadily had been declining since tie
was shot by a maniac in Hoboken. N.
J., three years ago. Mr. Oaynor’s
frame was emaciated, and Dr. Hop
per said that it was only by the m *st
tremendous exertion of will power
that the dead official could i'#» \ e held
himself to his tasks.
The death j»f Mayor Gay nor cast it
pall of gloom over the ship. All the
dam es and other festivities on board
were canceled and the passengc s
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, staying time and
again that hie trip was for complete
rest and that he did not intend to
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-
seciuslon in which he might think
out hie 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 Ms
faoe and a look of perfect content in
his eyes,” said Mis Williamson. “His
death was the most beautiful that one
would ever see. His face was turned
ward to the sun, his hands were
. lasped beneath a steamer rug HI?
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 he 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 the
passenger list nnd a Mr. Whalen, but.
it was officially denied that the
young woman was a relative of
Mayor Oaynor. She just happened to
be of the family name. The Gaynor
party consisted of Mayor Gaynor, his
son Rufus and the male nurse.

City was a city of mourning to-day
for its dead, Mayor W. J. Gaynor.
Flags flew at half mast and public
buildings—the City Hall, police head

place after the arrival here of the
Mayor's body aboard the steamer

Liverpool and is due here next Fri
day. Monday, .September 22. has been
.suggested as a tentative date.

j 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 dpath of the chief executive
and to take in hand the city govern
ment, confused by the Mayor's sud
den taking off.

Purroy Mitchell, now candidate for

will serve until a successor, to be
chosen at the coming November elec

Rumor That He Will Get New
Superior Court Judgeship
Gains Ground.
That Judge L. S. Roan would be ap
pointed to the new Superior Court
Judgeship created by the, last Legis
lature within the next 30 days was the
information Friday.
Although no interviews in regard to
the appointment have been given out
by Governor Slaton, and various ru
mors as to probable appointees have
gone the rounds, the rumor concern
ing the appointment of Judge Roan
is said to hit the mark squarely.
Those who are in close touch with
the situation point out that the Gov
ernor has decided definitely to ap
point Judge Roan, but that he has de
ferred action until the latter has com
pleted his work in the Leo Frank case
on or about October 4, when the mo
tion for a new trial will be heard.
Should Judge Roan receive the ap
pointment, which seems certain,
Charles S. Reed, Solicitor of the
Stone Mountain Circuit, probably will
be named as his successor as Judge
of the Stone Mountain Circuit. Mr.
Reed has been Solicitor for several
years, and is regarded as an able
lawyer. His home ifi in Palmetto,
Campbell County.
