JUSTICE GAYNOR MAY RUN.
His Candidacy for Mayor of New
York Predicted.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Supreme Court
Justice William ]. Gaynor is looming up
as candidate for mayor at the coming
municipal election. Bets are being made
that he will be voted for on election day;
that he will not be nominated by Tam
many Hall; that he will not accept such
a nomination IL offered: that he will an
nounce himself as candidate for the Of
flee without reference to any political
organization, and that, finally. he will be
the man upon whom the republicans and
other anti-Tammany organizations will
unite. after he has declared his own in
dependent candidacy.
Justice Gaynor will not discuss the may
orally contest with even his intimate
friends; but there are various excellent
reasons to warrant the statement that if
he decides conditions warrant his retire
ment from the appellate division of the
second department, where he has still ten
years to serve. he will not wait for Tam
many. Hall or any other political organi-
cation to offer him the nomination, but
will directly advise the people OF the city
of his willingness to make the fight on
an independent platform.

Church Closes Conference.

A telegram from Richmond. Ind, an.
nounces that Washington, d. c.. was
chosen as the next meeting place for the
General Synod of the Evangelical Luth-
eran Church in the United States, which
closed it's sessions there.
One of the important actions of the
synod yesterday was tot order the report
adopted on doctrfnal basis translated into
German and published in pamphlet form
for free distribution in the German
churches. Endorsement was given to the
Lutheran Young Peoples Forward Mis-
sionary Movement. as also the Rescue
League. which reported the initial action
looking toward the breaking up of the
white-slave trade centered in Chicago.
1t was deemed inexpedient. in the short
time allowed, TO take definite action on
the matter of lodge membership as affect
ing church membership, or the practice of
ministers exchanging pulpits with minis
tiers of other denominations or practicing
altar fellowship. A committee will report
on this two years hence. There was in

Amendments Voted Down.
Tariff No Help Nor Hurt to
Business, Says Sumner
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 11-Prof
William Graham Sumner of Yale. for
more than a quarter of a century head OF
the department of social science and DO
litical economy. says tariffs have had nc
effect on the prosperity of the United
States for twenty years.
He said today:
For the past twenty years the tariff
has had no appreciable effect upon Amer
lean industries one way or the other
Whether favored or disfavored by tariffs
in force. the real prosperity of the coun.
try has carried all kinds of business. The
tariff has neither greatly benefited nor
harmed any one"
do you still think that the old tariff
til it became too unbearable and fell OF
It's own weight?'' he was asked
Anticipates No Real Revision.
NO; think President Taft has a right
to attempt a change. Whether he will be
able to secure a real revision is uncer-
tain. l rather doubt it. In fact. / think
that when the Senate and House get
through with 1t the tariff will be worse
than BEFORE"
DO you mean by that that business
revision?"
Not at ALL was the reply. Business
will go along and prosper just as before.
This waiting on Congress deliberations
is unnecessary.
How will 1t affect New England" ?"
1T will not affect New England much.
IL any. The rates on woolens and other
New England products will not be ma
terially changed. Scarcely any effect will
be felt here"
Free Trade With All America.
You are. of course still in favor of
free trader" was asked.
Certainly. That is why am not wor-
red about the tariff or interested in >this
revision. Let it go up, free trade will
ultimately come. Let this country adopt
free trade with all of the Americas and
we need not worry about the rest of the
world
Prof. Sumner has insisted that free
trade with other countries of North and
South America would make this country
absolutely independent economically, of
the rest of the world
Our prosperity" said Prof Sumner. in
closing the interview, lis not because of
but in spite of, prohibitive tariffs. Great
expansion of business would result from
free trade. but We will get no helpful re-
vision this year

WOMAN BACK HAND VICTIM
STABBED WHILE PROTECTED BY
TWO DETECTIVES.

Struck Down-Ignored Threat
ening Letters.

CHICAGO. June 11.-Dr. Jennie A.
Beardsey is the latest victim Of a Black
Hand plot in Chicago. She was stabbed
twice as she answered a knock at the
back door of her home at 6JOS Peoria

hiding in the house to guard the woman
against just such an attack, but it was
a steel ribbed corset that saved her life.
The woud-be assassin escaped in the
darkness.
Dr. Beardsley, who is a practicing ply
| sieian, received a letter several days ago
| threatening her life IL she did not place
$500 in a designated spot.
The letter. which she turned over to
the police. was signed with a rude imi-
crossbones.
The letter threatened the woman with
death in her own home if she did not
get busy with the money.
DR.. Beardsley was about to retire last
night when summoned to the back door
Unaccompanfed by the officers she open
ed the door She was so stunned by the
suddenness of the attack that she did
not cry for help until her assailant
after cursing her. had fled.
DIR. Beardsley expressed the opinion
Indt the weapon uSeQ was a TdZOT. f1GT
assailant attempted to draw it across
her throat but instead drew it across a
brooch which she wore.
The first letter received by the wom-
an was placed in her mail box last
Tuesday. A second letter was thrown
through a window Wednesday morning
and read as follows:
