times was she able to sit up in her
little carriage. At the climax In
the sermon she arose from her car
riage and walked down the aisle to
| the pulpit, in front of which the con.
verts were standing. Her sudden
recovery almost created a panic In
the little church, so thrilled was the
congregation. Every one of whom
knew how totally helpless Mrs. Sow,

GAYNOR WELCOMES
 JEROME WAR CRY
Judge Phi it up to Tammany to Choose Between him and the Fiery
 District Attorney.
FIREWORKS HAVE ALREADY BEGUs

New York, Sept. 29--What proTns ises to be the most spectacular cam paign in the history of New York city was launched when District Attorney Jerome late last night made a vitriolic assault upon Justice William J. Gay nor, Charles F. Murphy and Daniel F. Goldman, the latter two of the big gest men in Tammany Hall. To-day on all sides it is accepted that Gay- nor has turned down the friends of huence to have Jerome nominated by Tammany to succeed himself and ha9t compelled Tammany to choose between hi1nself and the fiery district attorney. The result is likely to be a display of oratorical pyrotechnics for the nexti five weeks that will border on the hys- terfcat and will be peppered with per- sonaiities and abuse which will mark a new high record for a greater cityi campaign.
 Friends of Gaynor declare to-day. that the local traction situation isl the crux of the situation. They. de- clare that Gaynor in his magazine ar- ticles and stump speeches has placedi tion companies in the office of the dis trict attorney of New York County as the failure to prosecute the traction thieves" before the statute of limita- I tions intervened to grant immunity was, according to Gaynor, the reaii ed to get any of their funds back Gaynor will, his friends assert, welt come the declaration of war made up-g on him by Jerome and will answer 1t with interest.
 Tammany will tomorrow night nom- mate for mayor. name a New York County man for comptroller and conn piete it's city ticket with men selected from the most loyal of the organiza- tion. The leaders are considering the and Charles S. Whitman who wIll be the Republican nominee for district attorney. Pressure Is being brought to bear on former assistant District tion but so far without success. There is still a chance that William R. Hearst will again make an indepen- dent race for mayor,

ENGLISH RUBBER
 CONCERN ACCUSED.
American Engineer Says
 Comapny is Guilty of Cruelties Against Em- ployes.

London, Sept. 29.-The charges of W. against the Peruvian-Amazon Com pary an English Rubber Concern do- ing business along the Putumao river in South America, will be made the subject of a parliamentary discussion at to-night's session. Hardenburg ac- cuses the company of unspeakable cruelties against it's employees. mostly members of the Huitotos Indian tribe whoch were described in recent United Pree dispatches.
 Secretary Grey of the Foreign Office has been much Impressed with Harden burg's story and is pushing the in- vestigation, though it is admitted there is little chance of official interference owing to the danger of international complications. The secretary will make an explanation of the matter at to-night's session, 5t.
 The London Truth. which first gave publicity to the charges, resumes it's story to-day, declaring that the Peru vian- Amazon Company has been guilty of burning the natives to death by saturating them with kerosene and then setting them afire. Many Indians have been put to death through the charges, they being suspected with furnishing an insufficient amount of rubber. It was announced by agents that several small villages have been wiped out by the depradations.
 The charges are based on other wit- nesses besides Hardenburg a numbef of South Americans being interviewed by Truth.
