An attractive woman and her pret ty daughter of 11 years, who de clared she would rather live with her ' father than with her mother, were the central figures in a plea for tem porary alimony and custody of tho hild in Judge Bell’s court Thursday morning. The woman was Mrs. Mary ! \nderson, who is suing her husband, Harry W. Anderson, Jr., for divorce, ; and the daughter was their child, j Margaret Anderson. The child has been In the custody of j uer father’s mother since last May. Judge Bell said neither the mother ; nor the father was entitled to the hild, and ruled that she remain with i Airs Harry W- Anderson, Sr., who re- . sides on Peachtree road, and to whom the husband was instructed to pay 520 per month for the care of the hild. The plea for alimony was de nied the younger Mrs. Anderson. The husband, who runs a garage in Porter place, testified that he was making not more than $8 or $10 a j week out of the business. Mrs. An derson in her petition for divorce ai- ; ieged drunkenness and abuse on the | part of her husband.

Sept. 10 - Mayor (lay- nor’s death came as a shattering blow j to the political structure that had been built for the November elec tion at which the city ticket was the center of interest. For the office of Mayor there had been selected by Tammany Judge Edward E. McCall; the fusion committee of 107 had named John Purroy Mitchell, Collec- j tor of the Port; the Gaynor fusion and nominating league had named Mayor Gaynor. With Mayor Gaynor out of the race, the two-sided fight leaves a complex condition. Many of the Gaynor lead ers had assailed Mitchell bitterly. Mitchell had not been soft in handling the Gaynor men. The prospect for harmonizing the remaining Gaynor | forces and the Mitchell element, while excellent as to the voter element is difficult as to the leaders. The alti tude of the leaders on both sides in attacking Tammany makes it ex tremely difficult for the Gaynor forces to amalgamate with Tammany. Mitchell Stands to Gain. The chances are that the death of Mayor Gaynor will add appreciably to the Mitchell strength. Conserva tive men said to-day that it would assure his election. On the other hand, if the Gaynor leaders can not see their way plain to accepting the Mitchell nomination as representing all fusions and insist upon fighting the Mitchell element to the finish. McCall will reap some added benefit. In that even the race would be close. The actual situation is that both the Mitchell and McCall forces are seeking to-day to pick up the Gaynor strength. The announced intention of Comptroller Prendergast and Presi dent McAneny to accept places on the Gaynor ticket, made public just be fore the news of Mayor Oavnor’s death came, leaves Mr. Mitchell free to accept the nomination of the In dependence League, and it is ex pected he will so accept. If he does not, then the Independence League would almost of necessity have to name a candidate of its own A definite idea be drawn from the vote in the last Liner Baltic Due at QueenstownFriday LIVERPOOL, Sept. 11.— The liner Baltic, upon which Maj or Gaynor died, is not due here until late to-jnorrow night or Saturday morning. She is due in Queenstown, Ireland, to-morrow morning. The consolidated election for Mayor returns showed: B&nnard, Republican, 177,304. Gaynor, Democrat, 250,387. Hearst, Civil Alliance, 154,187 Total vote, 581,878. That the Gaynor vote was a Tam many vote is shown beyond‘question by the vote for R. K. Moore, the Tam many candidate for Comptroller, who polled 256.092 votes in the face of an unusually hot personal fight. On the face of the actual figures this three-cornered race promised to plurality give Judge McCall an easy of the total vote, assuming, as th record of the past justifies, that the Tammany machine strength was poll ed for its candidate and the oppo sition was divided between Mitchel and Gaynor. It will be seen that the combined anti-T. tnmany vote exceeds the Tam many vote by 81,104, with the Tam many problem that of finding a way to split its opposition. Bryan Is Shocked By Gavnor’s Death. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. shocked to learn of Mayor ( death.” said Secretary of Stat to-day. "The , ews is so 1 can not even believe it He was a strong man in m, f the situation may j spools and I know thut New V feel his loss.' Adamson, private secretary late Mayor. The cablegram telling of Mayor Gaynor’s demise was received at City Hall at 4 a. rn., but lay unopened on Mr. Adamson’s desk until the Secre tary made his appearance nearly six hours later. Mrs. Gaynor, who has been spend ing the summer at the Gaynor sum mer estate at St. James, Long Island, was immediately notified of her hus band’s death. She was overcome with grief. The Gaynor family sent word to the son, Rufus, to have the remains transferred at Liverpool and brought back at once for burial. It is not expected that any legal technicalities will hold up the return . of the body. Intimate friends of Mayor Gaynor believe his death was undoubtedly j 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’s death while he was helping drill 500 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-fa-ed man who has received honors for bravery while serving in the United States Army in the Phil ippines. but he made no effort to hide his grief to-day. A complex situation is brought about by the death of the Mayor. I Mayor Gaynor was elected upon the I Democratic ticket, but Adolph L. !

An* j other feature of the change is the i fact that Mr. Kline was not elected 1 udden that I president of the Board of Aldermen, i to be true, i but came into that executive position ! m .nv ! through the resignation of John Pur- j Mitchell, who left the board to pt the post of collector of the port Born Whitestown, Oneida County, New York, 1851.

Gaynor’s Secretary Former Atlanta Man. once by Governor Slaton, the con demned man has never lost hope of receiving a full pardon or a commu tation. Fred Flanders, alleged victim of the Emanuel County physician, died on June 4, 1910. A few days later ru mors. at first faint and Indefinite, as ! to improper relationship between Dr. j McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, be gan to circulate. Relatives of the dead’man had the I body exhumed and ordered a post mortem examination, which, it was alleged, revealed that the stomach of Flanders contained a small quantity of arsenic, although not enough to have caused death. Doctor and Woman Indicted. Soon thereafter Dr. McNaughton, who boarded at the Flanders home, was arrested on the charge of ad ministering arsenic to Flanders to produce his death. His motive, it was 1 charged, was a desire to be rid of an obstacle to his familiarity with Mrs. Flanders. Following the joint Indictment of Dr. McNaughton and Mrs. Flanders, the Emanuel physician, was tried in October. 1910, convicted, and fen • tenced to be hanged. Then followed the great legal battle for McNaughton’s life, w'hich had its echo as far north as Washington. D. C.. where the case was reviewed at length by the Supreme Court of the United States on appeal from the lower court, where the case was tried three times. 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 was 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 last 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 July. It was this turn of affairs •which prompted the attorneys for Mc Naughton 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 Saffoid and Colonel John Bennett, of Swains. boro, attorneys for McNaughton, sub mitted to the Georgia Prison Com mission new evidence in the form v of affidavits of two Thomasville citizens who swore that Flanders had taken drugs in their presence which he de clared would kill him some day. Feeling Seems Reversed. Attorney A. S. Bradley, represent ing the State, appeared on the scene at this juncture with affidavits which he claimed impeached the affidavits of the defense. Following the argu ments by both sides, the case went io the Prison Commission for final de cislon. All sorts of charges, w'hich have stirred the State, have been hurled during the course of the McNaugh ton-Flanders case. Perhaps the most startling of these w r as the charge of the condemned man that certain "factions” in Emanuel County were plotting to hang him in order to maintain its supremacy and power. Although public sentiment was strongly against the physician in the beginning of the trial, recently, It is said, a feeling in his favor has confe about.

The finding of the boy led to the capture of Howard. Howard was taken to Little Rock. His arrival at the prison was sensa tional. He became violent when the jailers refused to allow him to take his suitcase into his cell with him.
