EXCITEMENT IN WASHINGTON
Capital Heard That Mayor Gay
nor Had Died Early Yesterday.
From The Tribune Bureau.


Washington Aug 9.-The news of the at
tempt upon the life of Mayor Gaynor was
the principal topic of conversation in
Washington to-day. Extra editions of the
local newspapers were in great demand.
and the telephone wires in the newspaper
and telegraph offices were kept busy by
anxious persons who wanted to know the
latest news from the bedside of the stricken
Mayor.
A report that Mayor Gaynor had died
at 1890 O'Clock caused considerable excite
ment. and threw a hush over the gossip
on the affair. Assistant Secretary Hilles
of the Treasury Department had just fin
ished reading a letter from Mayor Gaynor
when a messenger came into his office and
said: Mayor Gaynor has just been shot
and is dying"
In an editorial tonight The Washington
Star" in part, says:
"A city executive, head of the largest
and most important municipal government
in the Western World, had been stricken
down with deadly intent by a discharged
employe of whose existence he was pre-
yiously unaware of whose grievance he
had never heard. Fortunately, the as
sassin's bullet failed to reach vital spot
and his victim lives. while the wretch
awaits such punishment as the law may
administer, which In the interest of public
security and for the protection of govern
ing officials throughout the country should
be heavy. The intention plainly was to
KILL and the intent and not the result
should measure the gravity Of the offence
THE shot of the wretch Gallagher. who
thus achieves notoriety such he never
could have gained by any exercise of his
own good qualities. is calculated to re-
dound to Mayor Gaynors political ad-
vantage His enemies must join in the
pronunciation of the would-be slayer APP
praisement of his excellent qualities Will
overwhelm criticism of his actions which
have aroused opposition. IT may prove that
the assassin, through his bad marksman-
ship has done Mayor Gaynor service
rather than an injury"

mitchell NOW ACTING MAYOR
Only Thirty, His Career Notable
for Attacks on Graft.

John Purroy Mitchell. President of the
Board of Aldermen. now Acting Mayor
and successor to Mayor Gaynor should the
latters wound prove fatal, has had
brilliant career in his short political lie
Four years ago his name was practically
unknown outside his own Immediate circle
of friends At that time he occupied an
uninportant position in one OF the city
departments Yet that was the beginning
Of his career. No opportunity has pre-
sented itself to this man. so young In
years, that he has not grasped and used
as a foothold in his climb TO political and
civic prominence.
Mr.. Mitchell is only thirty years oIdr
nephew of John d. Purroy, a former
Fire Commissioner of this city. After
leaving college he took up the study or
law and was graduated from the Columbia
Law School With his legal training TO
back him. Mr.. Mitchell entered the Corpo-
ration CounseIs office, and when Mayor
Mcclellan ordered an investigation of
Borough President Ahearn's office it was
young Mitchell who worked most tireless-
w as Commissioner of Accounts. 1t was
this investigation which launched him on
his career.
Starting from this time. April %, 1907,
Mr.. Mitchell drove out of office men whose
political Vaccinations had not been at
tackled hitherto. He showed neither pref
udice nor favoritism, and he conducted
housekeeping notable for its thorough
ness
In his short tenure of office as COM
missioner of Accounts, Mr.. Mitchell was
responsible for the removal from office of
three Borough Presidents. Fire Commits
sioner License Bureau chief and his two
deputies d number of lesser officials who
were legislated out of office, and for many
indictments handed down by the grand
jury.
BY the time the last election rolled
around Mitchell had become known the
watchdog" and the fusion leaders select
ed him as their candidate for President of
the Board of Aldermen.
Mr. Mitchell is one of the youngest men
ever nominated for important an office
in this city He was born in New York
City, of Scotch and Irish parentage-

st. Paul. Aug 9-The attempted assas-
sination of Mayor Gaynor was the chief
topic in political circles here to-day. He
has many admirers In Minnesota and

delegation 10 the next Democratic National
Convention will probably advocate his

ACCESS EASY TO STEAMER.

There was some surprise expressed that
Gallagher should have been able to board
the steamship without opposition 1t was
learned Yesterday that there are no regula-
tons regarding the admission of persons to
steamships before sailing Every person
rot a passenger is permitted up the gang
plank on the presumption that he wishes
TO see a friend who is about to sail. The
members of the crew exercise guardianship
over the saloons to see that the possessions
of passengers are not moleSted. but there IS
no other supervision. 1t was said at some
of the steamship offices that the snootlnS
of the Mayor might lead to closer tnSpec-
ton of visitors

WAS WARNED MANY TIMES
Hard to Guard Against Luna
tics" Mayor Gaynor Replied.

Friends of Mayor Gaynor have repeat
edly demonstrated with him for going
about the city without protection. but the
Mayor is rather set on such subjects. and
the warnings of his friends did not seem
TO make much impression on him.
His ideas were given in letter to
Charles WainbIatt. a lawyer. last March
The lawyer wrote TO him TO say he did
not think it safe for the Mayor to go
around the streets and ride in public con-
veyances without some escort
The Mayor replied: II thank YOU very
much for your kind letter of March 81
but | have no fear about going out alone
! do not think any one would do me any
harm unless he was a Iunatic. and it is
hard to guard yourself against lunatics"
More than the usual number of cranks
who frequent the City Hall have been at
tracted to ii since the Mayor has been
there because of his announced intention
of giving everybody a square deal and see
ing everybody who wanted to see him.
In previous years Lieutenant Kennel. who,
through long years of experience has been
able to spot these cranks and turn them
away at the door, has exercised this discre-
ton. But he has not felt so free TO do so
under the present Mayor. Kennel went
ways accompanied him TO the pier when he
sailed
Gallagher first wrote to Mayor Gaynor in
May. At that time he complained because
Dock Commissioner Tomkins has assigned
laborers to jobs as watchmen, while he
Gallagher, who was listed a Waterman
was getting lower pay Later Gallagher
took his grievance to the Commissioners of
Accounts and saw Mr. Boyle. then chief
accountant, several times. Mr. Boyle said
yesterday that Gallagher seemed Unbal-
anced and was continually abusing public
officials
Gallagher kept writing TO the Mayor and
the letters were answered by Robert Adam
son, the Mayors secretary.
In addition to writing. Gallagher visited
the Mayors Office on number of occasions
and saw Mr.. Adamson and William b. Me
loney who went into his grievance at some
length After communicating with Dock
Commissioner TomkinS IT was decided that
nothing could be done for him. and a letter
to that effect was written to him Satur-
day. Monday, about o'clock, he tried TO
see the Mayor, but Lieutenant Kennel told
him it was impossible and he went away.

PROWLING ABOUT CITY HALL
Patrolman Saw Gallagher There Last
Thursday, He Says.

Patrolman Thomas Harvey, stationed in
the City Hall, said yesterday that he was
sure that he had seen Gallagher last
Thursday in the corridors and outside the
building.
The man was walking up and down be-
fore the great entrance. looking at the
second story windows and muttering-
Then he came into the building. Harvey
said and paced up and down the corridor
until the patrolman became suspicious
Il walked p TO him and asked him what
he wanted. said Harvey. "He looked at
me wildly. shifted on his feet and then
walked out. | kept my eye on him until
he walked away. IL was Gallagher all
right, and he thinking mischief then. "

Boston Aug. 9.-"The Boston Herald
will say editorially tomorrow:
The effort yesterday morning of a dis
charged employee OF the New York City
Dock Department to kill Mayor Gaynor as
the latter was about to sail for a well
earned vacation in Europe shocked the
country.
That he should have been made the tar

those ironies of history which seen
whenever fanatics or crazed persons take
1t upon themselves to award punishment
and dispense justice on men whom they
deem TO be tyrants.
Of all New YOrk'S mayors he mas shown
the most courage, the most social vision
the most capacity to get needed consuuc-
tive reform work done. Those who formerly
suspected him are now his warInest cham

A new type of man has been set at work

fare will be met by official action that is
rooted in principle and common sense.

say tomorrow:
To reform and govern honestly the
municipality of New York was considered
a task SO herculean as to be wellngh i'm

outset. putting aside all partsanship and
every consideration but the best interests
Of the city, devoted himself heart and soul

The attempted murder, which will doubt

politicians get possession Of a city state

an actual ownership of public affairs so

an unmistakable impulse for good to every
municipal agency In him were centred
many hopes of patriotic citizenship in a
sphere much wider than that of his office.
In his ripenng career good men saw much
that was promising for city, state and
country. Following the shock which deed
like that of yesterday everywhere produces
must be the solemn realization that the
loss of such a man by means so foul and
wanton could be regarded only as a ma
tional calamity.
