THOUSANDS VIEW BODY OF GAYNOR BODY OF MAYOR GAYNOR LIES IN STATE IN NEW YORK CITY. GREAT TRIBUTE PAID HIM Despite Rain 75,000 Persons Pass the Bier in the City. Hall. New York.—ln a double line that never seemed to diminish as the day wore on, thousands of persons filed through the flower-filled rotunda of the city hall and past the body of Wil liam J. Gaynor lying in state. Unmindful of a heavy downpour of rain and threatening skies, the people came in a continuous stream silent ly to find places in the long, slow moving procession that extended^for half a mile along Lower Broadway and through City Hall park to the city hall. It was New York’s spontaneous tribute id its dead mayor. In the long line were street clean ers in their white uniforms, policemen, firemen and men high in the official life of the city anti state, but for the most part the procession was made up from the great so-called middle class. About a fifth of the crowd was made up of women and children and many of the leaders carried small wreaths or bouquets of flowers which they placed near the coffin. Fully one hundred thousand persons viewed the body before the doors closed, it is believed. "it is a remarkable tribute," Mayor Kline said, as he viewed the great si lent crowd. "No king, no emperor ever had a tribute paid to him like this great outpourng of citizens. It is tribute from the hearts of the people.” Three policemen and three firemen in reliefs of a half hour stood rigidly at attention during the night beside the coffin, which was draped in the stars and stripes and the mayor's flag, while beneath could be seen the colors of the union Jack placed there at the request of the Gaynor family in recog nition of the courtesy extended by the city of Liverpool upon the arrival of the mayor’s body in that city after his death at sea. Crossed branches of palms of victory were the only floral decorations on the cover of the cof fin. ASSASSIN OF MADERO KILLED Colonel Cardenas Killed to Keep Him From Revealing Orders. Washington. — Lieutenant Colonel Francisco Cardenas, alleged by the Constitutionalists of Mexico to have been the assassin of Francisco I. Ma dero. former president of Mexico, has himself been assassinated, according to a dispatch received at the head quarters of the Constitutionalists here. The advices state that Cardenas was killed at Michoaian, where he had been sent by Provisional President Huerta to take command of federal troops. He was assassinated, it .s said, for fear he might reveal the or ders he received on the night of Feb ruary 22 when Madero was killed and when Cardenas was in command of the soldiers conveying Madero from the national palace to prison in Mex ico City. Negro Is Lynched for Double Killing. Franklin, Texas.

The girls were picking flowers to dec orate the church for the weddings. They were overtaken by a storm and took refuge in a grotto, which light ning struck. The bodies were found in the wreckage. Great Cavalry Review for President. Washington.—President Wilson will be given an opportunity during the first week of Octooer to review the largest aggregation of mounted troops of the regular army that has assem bled in Washington since the grand review in the late sixties of the sea soned veterans led by Generals Grant and Sheridan.

FLEET WILL STAY WILSON ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT TAKE DICTATION FROM PRESIDENT HUERTA. Vessels Will Be Kept in Mexican Wa ters Just as Long as It Is Necessary. Washington.—So far as the Wash ington administration is concerned, it became known that no move is con templated in the Mexican situation at present. The elections of October 26 are awaited here with keen Interest, and the next step in the policy of the United States is likely to make its appearance thereafter. Administration officials read long excerpts of General Huerta’s message to the Mexican congress published In Washington, but no formal comment was made. It is understood that the administration does not attach much importance to the document, though there are passage in it which did not pass without careful notice. The references to the expiration of the period during which American warships were authorized to remain in Mexican waters caused some discus sion. Inasmuch as the ships are per mitted to remain another month, or until after the general elections are held, no statement of policy in this connection is likely to be made until that time. Informally officials let it be known that the vessels would be kept tn Mexican waters indefinitely if the United States deemed it necessa ry for the protection of its nationals. ROLL OF CRIME FOR PRIEST Was Not Only a Murderer, But Coun terfeiter and Thief. New York. —That Hans Schmidt, the Jekyle-Hyde priest, whose double life was exposed when he was arrested and confessd the murder of Anna Au muller after killing the girl and dis membering her body in a Bradhurst avenue flat, hired another apartment in which he presumably planned to conceal himself, was developed from police discoveries. In ransacking Schmidt’s rooms de tectives found evidence that Schmidt had stolen S4OO from the Easter col lection at St. Joseph's church and that he had robbed a visiting priest who spent a night at St. Joseph’s rectory. Girl Killed; Body Thrown in River. Newark, N. J.—The body of Alice Hopper, 16 years old, who had been missing from her home in Kearny, N. J., was found in the Passaic river at Harrison, her skirts weighted with stones. William Tolen, chief of police of Kearny, and the girl's relatives de clared that she had been murdered and her body cast into the river. The stones, weighing 12 or 14 pounds, had been place* in the lap of her outer skirt and her skirt drawn up to form a basket, and the hem was knotted at the rear of the waist. WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA. HUERTA’S MESSAGE PACIFIC VERBAL BOMBS WERE LACKING WHEN PRESIDENT ADDRESS ED MEXICAN CONGRESS. Huerta Admits Relations Are Strained, But Says He Expects an Adjustment. Mexico City.—Provisional President Victorians Huerta delivered his semi annual message at the opening of the second session of the Twenty-seventh Mexican congress. In it he promised to spare no efforts to bring about the unrestricted election of the president and vice president of the Mexican re public next month, declaring that it would constitute the greatest tri umph of his career to turn over the office to his successor with the coun try at peace as he hoped to do. General Huerta said the strained diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States had caused the Mexican nation to suffer unmerited af fliction, and had retarded the pacifi cation of the country. Nevertheless he hoped ftn: an early solution of the differences between the two nations and to see Mexico and the United States once more united in bonds of friendship. The message was disappointing to many who had expected that Provis ional President Huerta would deal at some length with recent diplomatic ex changes. This subject, however, he said, ’ being so delicate and the per manent commission of congress being already informed,” he passed with a bare mention. VICTORY FOR THAW IN COURT U. S. Judge Aldrich Indefinitely Sus pends Habeas Corpus Hearing. Littleton, N. H.—Counsel for Har ry Kendall Thaw laid the foundation for plans to carry his case to the Su preme court of the l T nited States—if such a step is found necessary. When the governor of New Hamp shire passes on the matter of the ex tradition of Thaw to New York, at the hearing to be held at Concord, the findings, if adverse to Thaw, will be reviewed by the United States dis trict court, and, should a decision against him then be rendered, suc cessive appeals will be taken until the ease reached the highest court in the land. Immigrants Wanted for the South. W’ashlngton.—A delegation repre sentative of Louisiana and particular ly New Orleans business men, headed by Senator Ransdell of Louisiana and M. K. Trezevant, general manager of the New Orleans chamber of com merce. conferred with Acting Secreta ry Post of the department of labor, with a view to diverting part of the tide of immigration through the port of New Orleans. It was pointed out that the South needed immigrants, and that the facilities for handling them in New Orleans were superior. MANEHTITLEODHLY 10 ■ HE EARNS MORE INTELLIGENT DISTRIBU TION OF WEALTH WILL IN SURE MORE PROSPERITY. SO ASSERTS A. J. OREM Also Attacks Sale of Watered Stocks. Wright Makes Plea for Correction of the Election Laws. Atlanta, Ga.-The Southern Chris tian Citizenship Congress, under the auspices of the Civic League of Amer ica, opened at the auditorium to the accompaniment of near sensational ism revealed in the address of A. J. Orem of Boston, who, in his treatise, styled “From Theocracy to Theocra cy,” all but put outright Socialism in to the book of good citizenship. Owing to his presence at the capi tol, where he sat iate in Ure matter of the McNaughton pardon arguments, Gov. John M. Slaton was unable to preside at the gathering in faft hall. Seaborn Wright of Rome, Ga., closed the evening session with an impas stoned appeal for a correction of the election laws. In introducing Mr. Orem as the principal speaker of the evening, Wil liam D .Upshaw declared that he had given the principal orator carte blanche in the matter of subject and text. Mr. Orem lived up to his rights. In part, he said: "Greater problems confront the present generation than have confront ed any previous generation in the his tory’ of the world. Present day ques tions are broader and more world wide than former ones. Their con sideration must be of broader scope. 1 believe that modern intelligence is being directed, however, to their suc cessful solution. “All forms of government have been tried with more or less success. If government administration is in the interest of a few, disregarding the rights of the many, government will be bad, no matter what the form. Modern civilization is tending towards democracy. Nations are more and more being educated to recognize the rights of the individuals. Economic problems and social problems will nev er be solved until governments are administered with due regard to hu man rights. Human rights should be more sacred than property rights. “A more intelligent distribution of wealth will insure more prosperity and happiness. To this end each man should have what he earns and no more. He is not entitled to any por tion of what other men produce ex cept that obtained through honest bar ter or other equitable means.” MADERO SLAYING NOT CRIME Such Is Decision of Mexican Military Court After Investigation. Mexico City.—The deaths of the late President Francisco I. Madero and | Vice President Jose Maria Pino Sua | rez were not brought about by a pun- I Ishabie crime, according to a decision i pronounced by the military court । here. The investigation lasted six months. It was started by the military com i mandant of the federal district imme diately on the conclusion of the ten days’ battle in the streets of Mexico last February, which resulted in Pro visional President Huerta coming into power. Among the witnesses was Major Francisco Cardenas, who commanded the escort which conveyed President , Madero and Vice President Pino Sua ; rez from the national palace to. the ; penitentiary. Two subordinate officers of rural guards and residents in the I vicinity of the jail also were exam ined. Father and Baby Killed. i Clayton, Ga.—Emanuel Nichols, aged 35. a farmer living ten miles j northwest of here in Rabun county, and his two-year-old baby girl, are dead, while his son and daughter, ! Conrad and Myrtle Nichols, have been ! bound over to the grand jury for vol ■ untary manslaughter, as a result of a general shooting melee in the farm- ; er's home. It is said the farmer’s ; wife killed her own baby as she sought to kill her husband, v Recall of Diaz Not Encouraging. Washington.—News that Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of Porfirio Diaz, had been recalled to Mexico to become the j candidate of the Huerta faction in j the coming presidential election arous- I ed much interest here in official cir ; cles. The general feeling was that the return of Diaz meant a compli ance with President Wilson’s princi pal demand, that General Huerta should not be a candidate So far as arguing an era of peace, however, the outlook was described as discour aging. Paw Knows Everything. Willie —Paw, when a baby gets sick, why do they call the doctor? Paw —To cure it, my son. Willie—Well, why don’t they sene for the curate instead of the doctor? Paw —You go to bed, Willie.—Cin cinnati Enquirer. ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED Falmouth, Ky.—"Two years ago 1 was troubled with skin and scalp troubles.
