I PARTISAN FEELING REVIVED Presence of Canadians in Coibrook Enlivens the Situation Fugi tive to be Arraigned at Ten O'clock This Morning Coibrook, N. H., Sept. 11. Twenty five Canadians, several of them out spoken opponents of William Travers Jerome after his arrest in Coaticook, Quebec, last week, on a charge of gambling, and others from Sherbrobke, where Harry K. Thaw received such an ovation in court, have followed the fugitive across the border into New Hampshire, and revived with their coming the intense partisan feel ing so evident while Thaw was in the Dominion. Jerome denounced one of them in public today. Their presence in Coibrook enliv ened what was otherwise a typical Thaw day for those who have been following the erratic course of Stan ford White's slayer since his escape from Matteawan Sunday morning, Au gust 17th. There was no court pro ceeding, Thaw's arraignment being put off by mutual consent until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Thaw's law yers apparently thinking him safer in the custody of the sheriff than at large, abandoned tfleir attempt to re lease him on a writ of habeas cor pus. Thaw's Hotel Guarded. The guards about Thaw's hotel were increased tonight from 12 to 20. All vere armed and under the direction of Chief of Police Charles Kelley. The chief appointed his first deputies yes terday after bearing stories that offi rersfrom New York might attempt to wait Thaw away. He augmented them in the face of rumors that the Canadian contingent might essay the rame thing with the idea of snatching Thaw from Jerome's hands, and at the same' time rebuking high Domin ion officials responsible for Thaw's sudden deportation yesterday morn ing. Crowd Follows Prisoner. Groups of Canadians stood about the hotel corridors and on the street corners throughout the day, and close ly followed Thaw on the two trips he made from his room. The first of these was to the barbershop, the sec ond to the office of his chief counsel, Thomas Johnson. Two automobiles, engines running, stood at the curb in front of the office all the time Thaw was within. This so alarmed the po lice chief that he and his men com pletely surrounded Thaw when he was brought out and escorted him to the hotel. Jerome Cynical Mr. Jerome spoke with a smile to night of the "camp followers" from across the border, but added that he had heard apparently authentic reports that some of the more emotional of 'he Thaw sympathizers from Canada nad spoken seriously of liberating bim. Jerome's denunciation of the par tisan from Coaticook occurred in the Monadnock House, where Thaw is housed. The man, who interested him self in working up evidence against Jerome on the gambling charge of hich he was accused .asked to be introduced to him. Jerome looked bm over coldly then spoke acridly, bitterly, of his experience in Coati fook. naming the man as the ring leader. There was a moment of strained silence, then Jerome turned his back. Thaw's progress down Main street to his lawyers' office this afternoon, drew the population of the village, and environs to the scene. Every available vehicle in town was pressed into service; windows along the way were filled with heads. Thaw, head prect and smiling, walked beside Sheriff Drew. Behind them trotted the small boys of the village, ahead a small yellow dog, yelping delighted From a second-story window a small girl tossed Thaw a boquet of ' eet peas. But there was no cheer ing.

MAYOR GAYNOR DIES ABOARD OCEAN LINER News of His Death Flashed from Steamer Baltic in Mid-Ocean by Wireless and Cable to New York Remains to be Brought Home on Steamer Cedric Municipal - Political Situation Overturned by Demise. . . -. . ' - : - r, y i V New York, Sept. 11. William J. Gaynor, Mayor of New York city, voy aging over sea on the steamer Baltic in the hope of regaining his strength to enter the three-cornered munici pal campaign as a candidate for re election, died suddenly on the Baltic as the steamer was within a few hun dred miles of the Irish coast yester day afternoon. The first news of his death flashed by wireless and relayed by cable from Europe reached his secretary, Rob ert Adamson, this morning. The Mayor had succumbed to heart failure, the message said. Later dispatches from his son, Ru fus W. Gaynor, who was his father's only traveling companion, gave de tails which showed that the end had come with shocking suddenness. That the Mayor's heart had been in a weakened condition for years was the statement tonight of physicians who treated him at the time he was shot in the neck and almost done to death by an insane discharged em ploye of the city in August. Plans for a public funeral to be held probably on Monday, September 22nd, will be made tomorrow by the Board of Estimate. Late advices from abroad say the body may be transferred from the Baltic to trie steamer Cedric sailing from Queens town tomorrow, or to tbe Lusitania sailing from Liverpool on Saturday. They will arrive in New York Fri day or Saturday of next week. George McAneny fusion candidate for president of the Board of Alder men, announced late today that he had decided to postpone his vacation trip abroad on which he had planned to start on Saturday. McAneny and William R. Prendergast, fusion nomi nee for city comptroller, were in con ference with Gaynor leaders relative to accenting their endorsement when news of the Mayor's death was an nounced. . - Whether another candidate to head the Gaynor league ticket would be named was problematical tonight. Of the many tributes to Mayor Gaynor from men of prominence in pul lie life, one from Theodore Roosevelt was among those made public. A week before Mayor Gaynor sailed on theJBaltic he was visited at his country home at St. James, L. I., by his secretary, Robert Adamson, and Fire Commissioner Joseph Johnson. The latter in speaking of the Mayor's condition at that time quoting him as saving of his illness: ""I coughed air night long; I could not stop it. My right lung was fight ing it out with the fish hook in my throat. I don't see how my heart stood it. I thought it would, burst. r tho Anntnr now savs that I am all i-ip-ht He savs my heart is still good. I think I shall be all right soon News of tne aeatn oi uer uuauauu reached Mrs. Gaynor at the Gaynor T,trTT residence at St. James early this morning. With her were Norman, the second olaest son, anu uei uaugu ters, Helen, Marion and Ruth. Mrs. Harry K Vingut, another daughter, lives in a cottage near the Gaynor home, and at once joined the family circle. Another married daughter, Mrs. Webb, has been spending the Summer at Bay Shore, where she wa3 notified of her father's death. Many messages of sympathy and condolence were received by Mrs. Gaynor. Only intimatefriends of the family were admitted to the home. New York, Sept. 11. Mayor Gay nor died on the steamer Baltic in mid ocean at 1 o'clock Wednesday after noon, according to a cablegram receiv ed here today from Rufus W. Gay nor, his son. News of his death was received here in a message sent by wireless and ca ble to Robert Adamson, his secretary, by Rufus W. Gaynor, his son, who sailed with him. The message read as follows "Father died Wednesday at 1 o'clock due to heart failure. Notify mother." Mayor Gaynor sailed away from New York on the morning of Septem ber 4th, on the Baltic. An hour be fore he sailed, but one man, his sec retary, knew of his plans outside of members of his immediate family. The Mayor's announced purpose was a brief vacation on the ocean. He felt that the tonic effect of the salt air would .restore him in some measvire to health. The Baltic was due at Queenstown today. The Mayor died as the ship was nearing the other side. The news of his death was sent by wireless to Cuxhavcn, by Rufus W. Gaynor, and relayed from Cuxhaven to New York by cable. Mayor Gaynor left New York ata time when the city Was seething in one of the strangest mu nicipal political campaigns in its his tory. The day before his departure he was notified on the city hall steps by representatives of independent politi cal organizations that they had chos en him as their standard bearer in the mayoralty campaign. A throng that crowded City Hall Park assembled to hear him accept. He had prepared a speech of acceptance, but was so weak that he was unable to deliver it, and his secretary - read it for him, the Mayor standing beside him.. He had expected to attack Tam many Hall sharply, politically, as soon as he returned to the city. Before his departure he issued a characteristic statement, levelled at Tammany Hall leaders and other political opponents, in which he referred to them as "mis erable scamps," and asserted that they were seeking his "moral assassina tion." v The bullet that lodged in his throat three years ago had never been remov ed. It was the Mayor's plan to re main abroad less than a week.

It removes from the field a candidate for Mayor who was expected to cut heavily into the vote of the fusion nominee, John Purroy Mitehel, and leaves only the tickets nominated by the Democrats and the fusionlsts. The former is headed by Edward E. McCall, former chairman of the Public Service Commission of this district. The passing of Mayor Gaynor re called the sudden death of Henry George, of single tax "fame, and a third party candidate, almost on the eve of the New York mayoralty elec tion some years-ago. Secretary Adamson received the ca blegram announcing the Mayor's death while he was at his home in Brooklyn. Mr. Adamson notified Mrs. Gaynor at the Mayor's country home at St. James, and then endeavored to reach by telephone Adolph L. Kline, the act- (ContUiueu on Page Bight.) SEAT ON COMMITTEE Climax of Bitter Attack on Democratic Legislat ive Methods. ASSAILS THE GAPS SYSTEM Minnesota Republican Declares "Sys tem of Legislation' in Effect Has Made Hia Efforts a "Farce and a Fraud." Washington, Sept 11. As the cli max of the vigorous Republican con demnation of Democratic legislative methods which has marked thq cur rency debate, Representative Sidney Anderson, of Minnesota, on the floor of the House late today resigned as a member Of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. Bitterly assailing legislation through caucus action and partisan consideration of the Underwood tariff bill, and the Glass Currency bill, in committees, Representative Anderson declared the "system of legislation es tablished here" made his efforts on the committee a "farce and a fraud." Throughout the day Republicans criticised the means employed by the Democrats in framing the currency bill, denouncing the secret sessions of the Banking and Currency commit tee majority and the secret sessions of the caucus which endorsed the bill. This evening Representative Ander son obtained the floor and sent his resignation to the clerk's desk to be read. The House listened in silence, and when the clerk concluded Mr. Ander son, in a lengthy speech explained his reasons for resigning. "I am induced to resign my mem bership on the Committee on Ways and Means," he said, - "because the rules of this House and the system of legislation in vogue here deprive me of my opportunity for service to the country on that committee, and because my continuance on that com mittee must be cqnstrfc into an ac quiescence in fraud upon those who have a right to believe, and do be lieve that I have had, or shall have, some part in framing the legislation reported by that committee. The rules of the House, written and unwritten, deprive me of my oppor tunity for service, and the system of legislation, visible and invisible, which obtains here strips me of my pre rogatives as a representative of the people. "If the present system continues, the inevitable result must be that men of industry and ability no longer will seek membership in the House." He reviewed the course of the tariff bill through the Ways and Means committee and the House, and said: "I have no part in the framing of the tariff bill which passed the House and the Senate. I shall have none. Fam overwhelmed, discouraged, disheart ened, bv the uselessness and fruitles ness of it all." In an analysis of the operation of the caucus system Mr. Anderson de clared that 14 Southern States Ala bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky. Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis souri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas and Virginia "alone send 129 Democrats to the House enough to control the legislative policy of the caucus, and hence of the House." Throughout the day the general dis cussion of the currency bill contin ued, Democrats lauding the measure. Republicans endorsing parts of it, and condemning strongly the provisions for bringing National banks into the proposed new system and making the new reserve notes government obliga tions.

Republican Representative Sydney Anderson, of Minnesota, resigned from the Ways and Means committee, de claring that the Democratic legisla tive system now in effect made his efforts a "farce and a fraud." - Twenty-five of Thaw's Canadian sympathizers followed him to Coi brook, and their presence enlivened the situation, as some of them were outspoken in their denunciation of Jerome.

Washington, Sept. 11. Administra tion oihcials here are convinced that the Mexico City authorities have no cnective plan or tneir own to oring about peace in Mexico, and that the situation there is drifting. The United States will await With interest the election scheduled for October Gth, but does not feel bound to recognize the government resultin from that election. Should an election be attempted while most of the coun try isl up in arms ,and in which a ma jority of the people shall have had no voice, the American government will adhere to previous precedents and withhold recognition. These views are expressed by officials in adminis tration circles who know the position of President Wilson. Senor Manuel de Zamacona, sup posed to be the personal representa tive of Provisional President Huerta, left Washington today, after a day's visit, without seeking any interviews witn government otnciais. unarge ai gara. of the Mexican embassy, confer red with Secretary Bryan but shed no light on the Zamacona mission. The attitude of the United States toward 7amacnn8 bas bee.n made nlain to the Mexican officials. He will be re ceived only if he came to treat on a new basis and on the assumption that the proposals made by John Lind l.avo hoon finnllv BttlFH namelv. that the request for recognition Tte withr drawn ana Huerta eliminated irom tne Presidential contest. These points the American govern ment considers essential and sees no necessity for further negotiation un less they are agreed to. While the situation in Mexico City is described by administration officials as one of quick sand, Mr. Lind is to remain in Mexico indefinitely, using his own discretion as to when it is best for him to return. President Wilson left tonight for Cornish, N. H., to spend the week end with his family at the Summer White House, and during his absence no further developments are expected. The administration will await the mes sage to be delivered by Provisional President Huerta next Tuesday to the Mexican Congress. w N Investigate Recent Killing.

Persistent ru mors current here that General Huer ta really intends to resign from the PrAsirfpTic.v at an earlv date, are inter esting President Wilson's personal representative, Mr. Lind. Tending to snnnnrt these rumors are two stories. apparently from an authentic source. One is to tne ertect tnat an American, calling on the provisional President, asked him what he iptended to do. General Huerta smiled and repnea io- -mo of "his ovosi had been troub ling him greatly of late. Then he laughed and added that if that eye be nam. wnrsfi he mieht have to leave the country and undergo, an operation some time early m uctoDer. as a mati-pr of fact Oeneral Huerta under went an operation for cataract several months ago. The other story was told recently at a dinner party. An Englishman present quoted General tiuerta as say "Well i is ouite nosstble that by the end of the week, or soon after, I shall no longer be fresioent. According to many persons who re ra.ntiv hnvp mm, to Vera iCruz. from the capital, the impression is growing there that General wuena soon win withdraw from the Presidency.

Currency amounting to $71,90ft in transit from the Chase National Bank, of New York, to the Savannah Bank & Trust Company and to Brunswick and Val dosta, Ga., banks, was stolen from a portable safe on the Atlantic Coast Line train No. 89, between Jersey City and Savannah. It should have arriv ed here yesterday morning. The loss became known today. Fifty thousand dollars of the amount was consigned to the Savannah Bank & Trust Company here.

It was shipped out of New York on Mon day on train No. 89 ,of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. When the seal ed steel truhk in which it was sup posed to have been shipped was open ed it was found that the money had disappeared. "All that I know about it," said President JlcCauley, "is that the mon ey was started to us from New York, and that it never reached here." The Southern Express Company has hurried its best men to Savannah to undertake the recovery of the money, or to locate the thieves. The seals on the outside of the steel trunk or safe did not show that they had been tampered with, but the seal ed envelopes in which the money was contained when it left New York, were slit open. The shipment was sent out of New York by the Adams Express Company and delivered to the Southern Express Company at Washington, D. C. Officials . of the Southern Express Company tonight were reticent as to the disappearance of the currency. It is reported that detectives for both the Adams and Southern Express companies are at work on the case. There have been no arrests made. J. B. Hockaday, of Atlanta, general manager of the Southern Express Company, and other officials are here directing the search for the missing money. Bank President's Statement. New York, Sept. 11.

With the minority members of the Conference committee barred from the proceed ings the Democratic majority in charge of the final work on the tariff revision bill today began Its work of adjusting conflicts between the Sen ate and House. At the end of a short afternoon ses sion the Democrats had completed work on the chemical schedule, and Representative Underwood and Sena tor Simmons predicted that progress toward a complete agreement would be speedy and harmonious. The Democratic conferees will not call their minority in until they have settled all phases of the tariff dispute. The conference which began today was participated in by Senators Sim mons, Williams, Shiveley and John son, and Representatives Underwood, Dixon, Kitchin and Rainey. Representative Murdock, the Pro gressive named on the House confer ence committee, appeared at the con ference room early in the afternoon, but when he found the Democrats were working separately on the bill, he made no effort to join the confer ence. In today's session the House mem bers yielded to the Senate on the ma jority of amendments, accepting the Senate lower rates . on most of the disputed items. The reductions made by the Senate on coal tar dyes issued alizarin and anthracene were approv ed, and the Senate rates on soaps were retained, although the language of the paragraph was changed at the suggestion of House members. A compromise was made on the item of chlorate of potash, which the House had taxed at one cent per pound, but which had been free listed in the Senate. It is understood the compromise will be based on practi cally an even division of the House rate. The Democratic conferees will meet daily in morning and afternoon ses sions and the Republican members probably will not be called in Until the latter part of next week. Senator LaFollette intimated today that he considered the procedure of the Dem crats unusual, in working over the bill without their assooiates named from the two Houses, but other mem bers of the committee skid the meth od pursued was in line With prece dents established in other tariff re visions.
