MAYOR PLAS NO POLITICS So Tammany Yet Sees Silver Lining In Keren t and Present Storm,-for Opposition Political Machine Might Hurt Some. NEW YORK, Jan. 17. Since William J. Gaynnr was elected Mayor of Greater Xovi'Drk, Charles P. Murphy, leader of Tammany, flias paid three visits to the Gaynor house in Brookline 'an three to the City Hall, but he has brought away hardly more than a cheerful smile. Never theless, every Tammany ol'ficeseeker continues to be told: "You must see Murphy first.". The Mayor is reported to have said to Murphy: "1 am grateful to you for your support In the campaign. Any names you submit shall have preference. But they rnust be good names." , How Agreement Works Out. fncTer this agreement. Murphy sub mits the names and the Mayor rejects them. In the first two weeks of his ad ministration the Mayor has distributed almost $1!00,000 worth -of patronage and Issued orders that will affect the distri bution of hundreds of thousands more without giving Tammany so much as a look-in." Out of 35 Tammany district leaders, Just, one has not a job. Out of the long list of new-comers appointed, at salaries ranging from $3000 to $7500 Just one is a Tammany man Rhinelander Waldor, t'ire Commissionor. And the first thing Waldor did was to abolish the private stable the city has ibeen maintaining for Commissioner. So elsewhere. Comptroller Pehdergast an noffneed on his first day of office that the pubway was good enough for him. The Mayor walks. If the city Automobiles do not demon strate their usefulness they and their chauffeurs will go. Park Commissioner HUrginB of the Bronx, 'laid off 150 men in the first week. Water Commissioner Thomas has gone away with overtime end Sunday pay. It looks lean for the email fry. One bright spot, the Tammany men still pee. There is no sign that the Mayor will attempt to build up a rival political machine. Thus far he has not played polities. There remain two positions to fill, which, in the public eye, bulk larger than any of the others the Commissioner of Police and the Commissioner of Strejt eleanlng. William F. Baker has the police de purtment and "Big Bill" Edwards the street-cleaning department. Indications are that Baker will go. On the choice of liis successor must rest a - large share f the success or failure of the new ad ministration. Thus far the question of whether this is to be a wide-open or a closed town 'for four years has not been indicated. The Mayor said in his campaign speeches that 'Jie favored a liberal interpretation of poli tical laws. The side doors were open on Sunday in the closing days of the Mc- Clellan administration and they are open now. "Will they stay open? Commissioner Edwards has been given two heavy tasks by two of the worst tstorms New York has known in many years. The Mayor has approved his work in handling them and may. recon sider his early decision to name a Com missioner. "When men of high standard are asked to accept the leadership of departments," said the. Mayor, "they give their own private business as an excuse. There is a lack of civic interest." SHOOTING IS MYSTERIOUS Man,. PJMoJ and Automobile In volved In Incident. Mystery surrounds a peculiar shooting Incident which occurred at 12:30 o'clock Monday . morning at the corner of Four teenth and Yamhill streets. In which an unknown man was seen to fire four shots, after which he jumped into an automobile and sped away. The strange occurrence was witnessed by C. H.

O. Schultz, living at 172 Yam Mil street, 'also saw the flashes of the Jour shots and says the ' man who shot seemed in n great hurry in entering the machine and getting away. He had no companion. Patrolmen Epps and Newell were put to -work on the case but failed to find any trace of the machine last nlht No possible cause could bo assigned for the mysterious shots. The scene is that of tho now famous Rae Brackett shooting mystery, which occurred last Summer. EPWORTH M. E. IS YEAR OLD Special Services Honor First Anni versary $350 Collected.

Dr. Felix Willey, hypnotist and men tal telepathlst, gave a second seance at the Bungalow Theater Sunday night, placing one subject in a state of cata lepsy and putting another through capers while under hypnotis. S. A. Himovsky, cutter and fitter for Olds, Wortman & King, was the subject who went into catalepsy. Stretched be tween two chairs with feet on one and head on the . other, he became stiff enough to sustain Dr. Willey's weight. After being revived be tried several times to walk, but-fell back helplessi Later,- however, he recovered himself, and said after the performance that his knees were quite sore, but that as he had not far to walk, he thought he would get home all right. When first placed in the cataleptic condition Mr. Himovsky remained so after Dr. "Willey had made several ef forts to revive him. It was necessary to splash cold water in the man's face to revive him. Later he was hypno tized again, and while cataleptic a pin was thrust through his ear. Harry Bert, a young man living at the Winchester, bit off a piece f po tato while hy-pnotized, thinking it to be a pear. He. also sang a solo, although those who know him say he cannot sing. A disturbing element in the audience last night made it . difficult for Dr. Willey to perform his feats. Harold BennPy, an actor whom Dr. Willey met at Salem, and who came to Portland and posted some bills for the hypnotist when he was here two weeks ago. went upon the stage with the volunteers. this Dr. Willey refused to continue with the performance. The trouble, as told by Dr. Willey's manager. It. L. Black, last night, was thatHenney demanded. a third of the box"" office receipts, and said he had a $2S claim against the hypnotist, on ac count, of the first performance given in Portland. The situation was briefly explained to the audience, and Benney left the stage. Several feats of mental telepathy, such as finding a pin, writing on a blackboard by mental suggestion and toeing a chalkline while blindfolded, were performed. 3 SMOTHERED BY NITRO AIR CIRREXJS, REVERSED BY BLASTS OVERCOME WORKMEN".

Three men were suffocated l?y powder smoke and nitro fumes in the Gunnison Tun nel Sunday and 30 others barely es caped with ' their lives. Air currents of the tunnel were reversed by the concussion of heavy blasts and the smok and gases were blown back upon the miners before they- could reach the portal. The dead are A. S. H'aynes, Parker Patten and N. Slartin. The men were working two- miles from the river portal and all prepared to fire their v holes at the same time. The air currents were from north to south and the miners retired 200 feet to the north of the blast when it was fired. The air currents reversed Im mediately and the three men were overcome before they could grope their way to the outer air. Several of those who escaped are said to be In a pre carious condition. Physfclans tried In vain to resuscitate Haynes, Patten and Martin. The .Gunnison Tunnel Is the Govern ment reclamation project opened last year by President Taft on his Western trip.

Though the police have been unable to secure definite details of the tragedy, it appears from the confession made by the slayer at the police station that he was asleep in the lodging-house when his friend. Sing, came into the room and tickled him. Jle poked his fingers Into Bing's eye. The latter awoke suddenly and without stopping to look, at his tor menter, . grabbed a Smith & Wesson re volver from underneath his pillow and fired two shots at Sing, death coming immediately.

BRITAIN'S MOVE IH NICARAGUA IS HAZY Fighting Barred at Greytown Regarded . as Slap at . United . States! MADRIZ TROOPS SHIELDED Captain Shipley, U. S. X., Refuses to Sign English Officer's Non- Combnt Order General - Matuty Plans Siege. BLUEEIELDS, Nic, via New Orleans, Jau. 17. Official declaration of Captain T.. L. Thesiger, of the British warship Seylla, stationed in rjicaraguan waters that there shall be no fighting pX Grey town, is stilly regarded by the resident Americans as a move not as innocent as appears on the surface. Many declare that it looks like a covert slap at the united States. While a similar order with reference' to Blue-fields, beore the battle of Recreo was given by Captain Shipley, of the Des Moines, it is pointed out that the situa tions were . not parallel. There were no troops twihln 60 miles of Bluefields, and Shipley's mandate occasioned no embar rassment. ' - IT; , S. Recognizes Blockade. c Government troops are in Greytown and just how General Matuty is to defeat them unless Captain Thesiger compels them to move outside the- town, which would put him in the position of interpos ing armed intervention, is puzzling the Estrada government., Greyto'wn Is the sole British, legacy remaining from the mosquito coast. All the town has fallen into decay. Such property as there is, is owned by British subjects, many of kthem negroes from Jamaica. Notwith standing this, the United States rec ognized the blockade which Estrada de clared against Greytown. British Consul Bingham, of Greytown, generally is reported- to have been in terested In certain enterprizes with Zelaya. It Is said that he requested that a warship be sent to that port upon the outbreak of the insurrection. The appear ance of the St-ylla followed. Tfce- order of Captain Thesiger that there should be rfo combat in Greytown said that there is open ground beyond the town where the combat may be waged with justice to both sides and safety to non-combatants. Captain Thesiger requested Captain Shipley to attach his signature to the non-combat order. Captain Shipley is said to have forwarded the request to the Navy Department for instructions, and, as his ' name was not signed. It is believed thai the American captain was told to have nothing to do with the order. Meanwhile Captain Niblick had been dispatched to Greytown with the Tacoma ostensibly for provisions, but in reality to care for wounded in the- anticipated battle. Americans believe here that Cap tain Thesiger's order furnishes a further reason for the presence of the Tacoma. Captain Niblick is in position to keep a watchful -eye on the Scylla and to carry out immediately, orders that might em anate from Washington as a result of Thesiger's attitude.

Jan. 17. (Special.) Following the announcement of Rick ard's offer to post the entire fight purse of $101,000. with "Big Tim" Sullivan, stakeholder to guarantee the battle for Salt Lake' City, "Jack" Johnson and his manager, George Little, arrived in this city. Both declared tonight .that Rick ard would have made no announcement, without knowing where he stood. "Rlckard is the man behind this fight and Gleason would not have been In It but for the fact that Jeffries and Berger are Gleason'B personal friends," said Johnson.

I will train near -the battleground instead of at the Seal Lake House, near San Fran cisco, i If the money is posted, Rlckard will conduct the fight or forfeit the purse, vl do not think he would throw away $101,000." Johnson and his wife both emphatical ly denied the rumor that thejr quarreled and that Mrs. Johnson was to sue for a divorce. "The rumor, probably arose from the fact that I had ten teeth pulled in Bos ton," said Mrs. Johnson. "My mouth continued to bleed long After the opera tion and I tied a towel over my face. Some one at he hotel probably saw the bjood-stained towel and made a bad guess." 1 i"-.-:--Si.

A black year ling calf, fresh from the range and as wild as calves can ' get. was loose in 'Fifth.. avenue' for 15 minutes, and kicked up no ena "or a fuss. The automobile and carriage parade Was at its height when the traffic offi cer at Forty-second street and the ave nue of fashion saw the black- streak coming toward him through, the cross street, uelylng the rules or the road and all of the traffic regulations, the calf turned down Fifth avenue. It zigzagged from curb to curb to the tune of automobile horns blown by surprised drivers. It set cab and carriage horses snorting with fear, and sent pedestrians scurjying up steps. ana into stores. Cab drivers and chaur kfeurs joined In the chase as the calf increased Its speed. At Thirty-fourth street Mounted Po liceman Francis Trainor sat on Roger, the prize horse of the Police Depart ment. Trainor spent ten years on the range before Jje went into the army to ngut with nunston in the Philip pines. He had no trouble recc-gnlzing it was a calf which was approaching. Mounted policemen carry no ropes. and Trainor had nothing but a shout with which to stop the thoroughly frightened calf. The animal dashed past Trainor, and he joined in the pur suit. On a truck the policeman found a rope, which he noosed as his big horse dashed In the wake of the calf. In front of the Holland House Trainor got within striking distance, and the call was promptly lassoed. .Roger led the way to the Tenderloin station, where the calf was ldcked up In the garage. VShortly there came drovers from the plant of Schwarzchild & Sulzberger, who led the animal back to the veal chop factory.

NEW YORK, Jan .."To require the hue-band," said a Judge recently, "to turn over to you every week his unopened-pay envelope would amount to tyranny of -the sort most dangerous to the perpetuation of the home as the sacred instltution It is today. A wife has no right to make such demands on her husband. The husband is the sole owner f the fund." "Other Judges have held that A wife has a right to go through her husband's- pockets. A wife is entitled to 30 per cent of Tier husband s salary. A man's wife is not his servant. A married woman may go out when ever she chooses. Wedding gifts belong to the wife and not to the husband.

The legal questions Involved in the proceedings are not the same, but a similarity of action on the part df the state authorities Is revealed which is important as showing the growing watchfulness of the states to prevent monopolistic combinations, and to ' ap ply the remedy before Instead of after the fact. There is cause for satisfaction In this disposition of states to , exercise their weH-denned powers of corpora tion control and to dispose of the new problems of organized capital before the become Federal Issues. If they had exercised these powers earlier there would have been no occasion for the consideration of a National incorpor ation act by Congress. There would be no question of Federal licenses, and the notion that the general Gov ernment is the sourco of all legisla tive virtue so far as the trusts and corporations are concerned would not be so prevalent. i Sample of Cross-Eyed Justice.

French people are getting to know their London too well to believe that we still sell our wives at "Smif fle," but the memory, of those trans actions survives.

Thus February 25, 1S32, it recorded how a day or .two before a ' "fellow came Into the market leading his wife by a' halter and gave her to a drover, desiring him to tie her to the pens and sell her to the best -bidder." The woman quietly submitted. "A crowft of persons soon gathered round and a man of rather respectable appearance entered into a negotiation with the drover for the pur chase of the wife, and after some hig gling she was finally knocked down to him foi the sum of 10 shillings." The drover exacted 2 shillings as commission. HANDS AND FEET "WERESWOLLEN Case of Inflammatory Rheuma lism at .Portland That Re sisted Ordinary Treat I ment. . .. Almost any pain or ache which cannot readily be accounted for is usually olaesi. fled' as rheumatism. Some of these ax transient and onre themselves. An actual attack of rheumatism is rery diffloult to cure so .that it will stay cured. Ordinary treatment aims only to relieve the pain until the attack wear .itself out.

She says : "A few years ago I -was suffering from inflammatory rheumatism which came on me all at onoe.. At the time of the attack I was in a run-down condition. My blood was impure and I had no ambi tion to do anything. I suffered from dull, aching pains through my hands and '.feet which soon became swollen. "My doctor prescribed for me and sent me to bed. While there I felt better but as soon as I got up I was aa badly off as ever. In fact I became so much worse that I was untible to open my left hand. I had been confined to bed for two weeks and was greatly discouraged. By chanoe I happened to read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a paper and decided to-try them. I felt better after taking the first box of the pills and, I continued to take them until I was .entirely oured. I hare never had a re turn of the rheumatism.
