2 GAYNOR SEEKING Ml NOMINATIONS Prospect Is He Will Be Lucky to Get Any for Mayor of New York. 'FUSIONISTS REJECT HIM Denounced as Political Judge by A ntt -Tammany Organ and 'ot Wanted by Tammany Mur phy Does Hard Thinking. BT M.OTD F. LOXCTRAN. NTTW YORK. Slept. 13. (Special.) The Wtter of Justice William J. Gaynor. an nouncing that he will pladly accept any and all Mayoralty nominations, ha caused quite a stir among politicians.' Gaynor. from his statement, apparently expects the support of all organisations. He lntlmatrs that a majority of Repub licans are for him "without a pledge of any kind." says he has received assur ances from "influential Democrat." that the Tammany city convention will give him an unconditional nomination, and re marks of the Independence League: "In somuch as it has always stood for the up. lifting of city government. I think I may Justly expect Us. support." From which It would seem that there Is realty very little need of holding an lection In November, as everybody ts bound to Oaynor by ties of duty and af fection. But this Is very far from the truth. In fact, from present Indications, it looks as If Judge Gaynor will he compelled to run as an Independent, if he runs at all. FasionMs Turn Down Gaynor. Leaders of the fusion forces make no secret of the fact that Judge Gaynor has been wiped off their books. They regard his statement as a direct bid for Tam many support, and are convinced that he twould not fill the bill as a non-partisan Mayor. "Gaynor would make an excellent Mayor If he knew how to curb his am bitions." Congressman Herbert Parsons Is quoted as having said to a friend. "But If he should he elected he would want to run for Governor next year, and for President In 112. We Republicans are perfectly willing to seat a Democrat In the Oty Hall. If necessary, but we have no Intention of supplying campaign Issues and candidates for the opposition." On of the sensible members of the Committee of One Hundred (there are Bevural) made the following intelligent comments regarding the aspirations of .the Brooklyn Justice: "No matter what Gaynor or his friends would say, he would not make a non partisan Mayor, and that is what we are . striving to elect. Gaynor Is personally .honest, but he Is a man eaten up by po litical ambition. He would never dare to 'offend Tammany, because It Is that or ganization which will send delegates to the state and National conventions. Jus tice Gaynor Is willing to be non-partisan this year, but he would be bound to al low regularity' to direct - many of his actions if he landed In the City Hall." Branded as Politico-Jurist. That the fusionlsts are Inclined to look askance at Gaynor is made evident by the attitude of the Evening Post, which is the most bitter anti-Tammany organ In Greater New Tork. The Evening Post devotes over a column to a bitter attack 'tin Gaynor. whom It calls "an angler for as nomination at the hands of any and all parties." Continuing, the editorial says: Now. w hare every wteh tn treat Judre Gamer and tits clalma with sll respect. We 'oannnt fonret ths eminent public services which he rendered yan aa-o. If we could 'fra-et them. he would not let us. for he wouid remind us of them, as he does, with cl-ara.-terleac modesty. In his letter. Rut it would noc be honest not to point out that It ts hie later reputation which will now make or break him with the public. And that reputation, unfortunately. Is not of a kind altogether to commend him. He ha been a politico-jurist. Too many of h's de cisions appear to bare been written with an eve to the appau.e of the arrmn-llinrs. He haa been tbat nrure. alwava distasteful to Amen. ar a Jii'lre with an itch for publicity, and with unconcealed aspirations for political reward. Moreover. In his letter announcing his con. 5I'1acy. Jiidre Gaynor shows that he doeei not umieretand the nature of a reform camoalcn ie tli'j city. It mut r.eoesari!y be anil Tammany. The great enemy to be defeated ia that ontAnirratlnn of plunnerer maequerad Ira as a political party, whl.-h Is working f-T Its or-n pocket all the time. Repett'd trlnl of a "reformed" Tammany has convinced all Oar-eye.1 citizens that the thing ts a contra diction in terms. Ju':e fJayr.or'e letter must put sn end to a'l the t.llk shout Ms belnr a possible fusion ennlH:te. Whether he will -et tn Tam wanv nomination, lime will tell; for ourselves, w rrratiy doubt It. Murrhy is not the man to brook a fhsl'ense of his power to control a convention mae up of his own creatures. Xo Chance With Tammany. Tammany men who are In the confi dence of the boss declare that Gaynor has absolutely no chance of a nomination. At one time Murphy thouirht he would make an excellent candidate, particularly as his nomination would mean the polit-' V-al death of "Pat" MeCnrren. With a Mayoralty nominee from Brooklyn (Gay-nor-s home). It would be eminently proper and just that the Comptroller should come from Manhattan, and it is the pa tronage of Comptroller Xletx that hag kept MeCarren at the head of the Brook lyn organization. So Murphy bellaved It would be good politics to boost Gaynor. particularly as he believed he could control Gaynor by deft attention to his political ambitions But recent developments have rather up set the plans of the Tammany boss. One of the "recent developments" was a visit from a deputation repreeentlne the Knights of Columbus. This strong Catholic organisation represents 75000 votes In Greater New Tork. and It Is be lieved that So per cent of them are Demo crats. Consequently they are entitled to a respectful hearing from Murphy. This Makes Murphy Think. The committeemr n explained that they had never attempted to dictate a Tam many nomination, but that they desired to enter a formal protest against any hon ors being paid to Gaynor. They based their objection on grounds that strongly appealed to Murphy personally, although he declined to make any decision at the moment. He -promised- them, however, that he would give their request his ear rest consideration, and he Is doing so. Murphy reallxcs that Gaynor would poll many thousand of votes that are ordi narily classed as Republicans or Inde pendents, for he has a mighty strong fol lowing. He also sees that if the Judge i his candidate the organisation will probably lose about 60.0C men who are usually relied upon to vote straight. , HOLE IN HEAD CLEAN CUT (Continued From First Page ) tnere was not the slightest fracture of the skull under any of the bruises and disclosed no broken ribs or broken bones In either arm. The bullet entered his head at the rjoint and In the direction established a; . the Annapolis Inquiry. That It lodged, In the brain waa shown by the absence of any markings on the akull opposite the point of penetrating. Both brain and bullet were destroyed after the autopsy held at Antra polls Immediately after Sut ton's death, and on that account the surgeons were unable today to cast any light upon the effect produced by the blows which Sutton received on his head. Mrs. Sutton and her attorneys, who de clare the autopsy strengthens their con tention, are now preparing to lodge a charge of murder In the court of Mary land against one or more of Sutton's assailants, and. If that proceeding falls, will appeal to Congress for further in vestigation. Navy Surgeon Reticent. "Whether Surgeon Spear, the Navy Sur geon, who assisted In the autopsy, at taches any significance to the clean-cut bullet hole and absence of powder marks or burn, eoukj not be learned. He de cllned to discuss his observations. Attormey Vandyke, assistant counsel for Mrs. SuOton, said he was convinced that the shot had been fired at least five feet from the officer's head and that the wound showed conclusively that It was physical Impossibility for Sutton to have fired the shot. Dr. Vaughan. who represented Mrs. Sutton at the autopsy, said tonight: "I found the body In a fair state of preservation, except for a softening of the chest, trunk and arms. I found no bones broken. There waa a contusion or bruise over the right eye. The bullet wound In the scalp was three Inches above the right ear. There was no sign of burning of the hair. There were two or three cuts in connection with the bullet wound. one. In the scalp near the bullet hole and the other about the middle of the scalp. This last cut may have been made at the postmortem or by a blunt Instrument before death. Mother at Grave. Present at the grave when the body waa disinterred were Mrs. Sutton, several friends, her attorneys, several surgeons and a number of newspaper men. Mrs. Sutton waa the first person to look upon the face of her dead son. After leaving the storeroom where the body lay, she said: "I want you newspaper men to go In there and see for yourselves that the fore head Is crushed." After the autopsy the body was placed In a new coffin, provided by the Govern ment and was reinterred In the same grave after tho ground had been conse crated by Rev. Father Alonzo Olds of St. Augustine's Catholic Church, this city. , Case Xot Closed. Sirs. Sutton and her attorneys Indicated tonight that the autopsy would not close the case. Mrs. Sutton Is credited with saying: "We will give them the fight of their lives." Mrs. Sutton is said to be anxious to have the case presented to a Maryland grand Jury. She feels justified, It Is said. In having had the autopsy performed, as she believes the evidence obtained will prove useful In whatever other proceed ings are undertaken. "God has seen tit to answer my pray ers and has removed the stigma the ene mies of my son placed upon him." said Mrs. Sutton. "The contusion on the fore head and the clearness of the gunshot wound convinces me that my son was killed by those four officers. Sees Son In Dreams.- "I have talked to my son. In my dreams and he told me he received Just the kind of wounds the examination today showed and I believe that it will aid materially In our next trlai." It Is the belief of those who examined the body. It is said, that the contusions were the results of blows from blunt weapons. The surgeons first removed the scalp and crown piece and closely ex amined each of them. Attorney Vandyke took an impression Of The skull on a handkerchief and afterwards traced It In Ink. No broken bones were found In the forehead, which was next examined, but there was a slight Indentation, according to the surgeons. The chest, ribs and arms were found to be in perfect condi tion." BATH BOILER BURSTS FIVE INJURED AND BUILDING 13 WRECKED BY EXPLOSION. Iforcte Attached to Wagon Killed by Flying Debris In Street. Women In Panic. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 18. Two per sons were seriously Injured and five others badly bruised and shaken today by the explosion of a water-heating ap pliance In the basement of the Lurllne Baths establishment on Geary street-.The force of the explosion was so great that two walls were thrown out and the In terior of the building: badly wrecked. Richard Damme, the most seriously in jured, was passing the structure when the explosion occurred and was thrown 30 feet, sustaining a fracture of a leg, numerous bruises and cuts and possibly a fractured skull. William Hanson, the engineer, who was standing on the second floor directly above the heatlrsg apparatus, was buried In the debris and badly cut and bruised besides sustaining a fracture of the left leg. The other five, four of them women, were bathing, and their injuries are trivial. One aged man, whose name Is unknown, announced that he intended to finish his bath when he found what had happened. The exact cause of the explosion is not known. A horse attached to a passing wagon was killed by flying debris and broken glass, shingles and all manner of small bits of wreckage were rained over the sidewalks. Fire started In several places but the crew of a fire engine house across the street were on the scene before the noise died away and promptly extinguished the flames. Mrs. Eliza Eichler, of M Salton avenue, was shot through a window and far Into the street. Mrs. Joseph Obenshaw Thorte. sister of Mrs. Eichler. was in the same room and was also flung into the street. An unknown man was severely cut and stunned by a flying timber. Several half-clad women who escaped serious Injury were lying in the street an Instant after the explosion. . T. Argast. a chiropodist employed at the baths, was out by flying glass. Richard Damme was burled through the air a distance of 30 feet. Mrs. El "F. Cairn was cut and bruised. Mrs. Thorte is the wife of Joseph Thorte, once well known throughout the country as a vaudeville actor. In spite of his Injuries, Argast, the chiropodist, went along the line of com partments and released several screaming women who were Imprisoned by the jam ming of their doors. A building adjoining, occupied by a French laundry, was damaged by the ex plosion, and a dozen female employes ran Into the street, carrying their flat irons with them. The wife of the pro prietor was allghtly Injured. The salt water In the large tank, released by cracks In the masonry, ran down Geary street In a flood.

NOT OPPOSED BY ROADS Financiers Approve Form Author ized by Interstate Commerce Commission Cannon Says People Govern. CHICAGO, Sept. 13. The preliminary conferences of the 35th annual meeting of the American Bankers' Association which was held today show that the bill of lading problem will be one subject of the first Importance before the delegates. The bankers asked for a bill of lading that would make the carriers issuing it responsible, so that It would be a safe, negotiable Instrument. The shippers rep resented were equally anxious for a solid foundation. The question was Introduced by Henry Dunkirk, president of Pan-Mercantile Exchange, who declared that If the bill of lading were not used as a basis of credit, the business of the coun try "would come to a standstill, or else become concentrated in the hands of a few." The railroad representatives did no; oppose the resolutions. The measures for uniform bill of lading laws were In dorsed by the executive council and will go before the conference tomorrow. The bankers have already approved the form of bills of lading authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission and eeek to establish it by law in the dif ferent states. A resolution calling on the delegates to urge In their several states the passage of a uniform bill of lading law was adopted. Another resolution adopted rec ommended to the main convention that Congress- be petitioned to pass a Ind eral uniform bill of lading act. The bankers of Chicago tendered a banquet to the executive counsel of the American Bankers' Association to night. Speaker Cannon, in an Informal talk said: "This is a Government by the people. The people have their chance to speak every two years. The Government Is no better nor no worse than the people demand. There must always be a large number of people who follow a certain leadership, yet disagree with it In order to make the present-day form of civilization." A Federal legislative committee decided to report adversely on guaranty banks and against postal savings banks, sub stituting in place of these, measures a recommendation for the adoption of a savings bank department in National banks. The savings bank, plan for Na tional banks contains a proposition for the segregation of the assets of the In stitutions and limiting investment of the savings bank to the highest grade of securities', including farm loans. The Idea also Is to reduce the reserve which must be held by National, banks so that the savings banks would be on an equality with state savings banks. Members of the committee believe that should this action be taken by the com mittee that the Federal Currency Com mission would adopt the plan. Plana . of the convention Include a ball and reception in. honor of President Taft. The annual convention, of the" Na tional Association of Supervisors of State Banks was held; today. Pierre Day, president, delivered - his annual address. The committee on uniform state banking laws and uniform classification of banks reported that the law committee of the savings bank section of the Ameri can Bankers' Association has adopted the principle of the segregation and proper Investment of savings deposits as its legislative programme; also that a con siderable number of supervisors of state banks recommended to their respective Legislatures the enactment of legislation along these lines. The committee recommended that a standing law committee be created to assist in carrying out the legislative poli cies of the association.

Within the boundaries of Chehalis County every shingle mill, employing In the aggregate close to 3600 men. has closed "indefinitely," with the exception of two in Hoqutam and one in Monte sano. The latter is hardly counted, as it is already running on the "open shop" policy, which manufacturers threaten to install In all plants upon again opening.

IMMIGRANTS GOOD CITIZENS Chicago Man Says Foreigners Make Best Americans. CHICAGO, Sept. 13. "The immigrant is a better American than the American himself. He has learned by experience in his native land to appreciate the freedom and advantages of the United States. He can understand the free life which the American takes merely as an individual." Dr. David Blaustein, superintendent of the Chicago Hebrew Institute, speaking- on America and the immigrant, thus expressed himself yesterday at a meet ing of the Chicago Circle of the Butterfly Association. His opinion has the weight of years of personal contact with the immigration problem in New York. "The immigrant comes to this country from a land of despotism and oppres sion and finds America-willing to allow him to indulge a broad view, freedom in short, new life," said Dr. Blaustein.

Diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
