A Poor Motto.

Baron Takahira was talking to . re-
porter an Ann Arbor about the Jap
anese character.
TO say that the Japanese is only a
living piece OF eommercialism is all
wrong" he declared. The Japanese
is .chfEalrous and kind. But too ofteu
men accuse him of living up literally
to the Yorkshire motto.
The selfish and despiGable motto
adopted by d certain hard, narrow type
of Yorkshireman is, you know:
See all hear all and say nowt.
Eat all. sup all and pay nowt,
And If tha' does sowt for nowt

GAYNOR FAILS
To DEN0UNCE
TAMMNY
MAYORALITY CANDIDATE
DlSAPP0INTS FRIENDS
Hearst Hesitates About Accept
ing Nomination on lndepend-
ent Ticket; viii Give His An
SWer This Morning,


New York, oct. 7.-Justice William
J. Gaynor today accepted the demo
cratic nomination for mayor of New
York His brief speech in reply to
the notification committee served also
as an acceptance Of the endorsements
of a number of independent and semi
independent orpani2Atious whose rep
resentatives were present.
Justice Gaynors speech contained
no attack on TammnaN which had
boen expected in some quarters. The
omission was brought particularly to
the public notice through a statement
issued earlier in the day BY William
Randolph Hearst. who had declared
that he would yield to the urging OF
his friends and run for mayor on an
Independent ticket unless Justice
Gaynor came out with denunciation
OF Tammany. Many anti-Tammany
democrats who have pinned their
faith to Justice Gaynor regarded this
challenge as one which he would not
refuse. But there was no denuncia-
ton OF anybody in Mr.. Gaynor's S
speech, except mildly Of Mr. Barnard
campaign contributions.
81 resign my office, said Mr.. Gay
nor, "only to dedicate and devote the
next -four years of my life to the SER
vices of the people Of New York. This
great city is made up of people OF
every race, belief and way OF think
ing. Let US live and act together
without hostility prejudice or unchar-
itablcncss.'
Mr. Hearst. notified officially of the
intention of his friends to run him as
an Independent mayoralty candidate
said he would give their recommend
alton his careful consideration and
would reply definitely within twenty
four hours, either announcing his can
didacy or definitely declining to ac-
cept.

AGAINST ITMPIRES RULING

New York. oct. President Hcyd-
lcr, of the National league. has re-
jected the protest of the Brooklyn as
to the game played with Chicago in
brooklyn September This game re-
suited in Chicago victory by a score
of ten to four, eight of Chicago's runs
being scored in the ninth inning.
President Heydler finds merit in
Brooklyns contention that the umpire
should have stopped the game at the
time, previously agreed upon by the
managers Of the respective teams. but
he does not feel justified in throwing
out the championship game and alter
ing the standings Of the clubs in
volved.
The umpire's report showed that
the Brooklyn club had adopted dila-
tory tactics when it wwas in danger Of
being beaten.
