promoting the financial interests of
certain individuals and concerns.
For instance, the duty on manufac-

80 per cent, while crude rubber was
left on the free list. The advance

MAYOR RETAINED CONSCIOUS
NESS

During the struggle with Gallagher.
Mayor Gaynor, though badly wound
ed and bleeding at the mouth and
nose did not once lose consciousness.
The impact of the bullet did not even
throw him from his feet, but he
raised his hands to his ears and with
face contorted with pain he stag
gered in a daze and leaned Imply
across the ships rail until Adamson
came to his assistance.

was removed to a stateroom where
the ships surgeons temporarily ban

JUDGE eAYkDnS BRAVERY.
Rarely has a wounded man evineed
more fortitude and cheerfulness than
did the mayor today. Evidently he
thought while being carried down the
companionway from the ship on a
stretcher. that his wound was fatal
for he smiled family and said to
those near:
Tell the people, goodbye
To his wife and son, Rufus, he said
at the hospital: 1T is very strange.
very strange. l wonder why he did
it2" But at no time did the mayor
express i'll feeling toward the man
who would have killed him.
Gallagher. judging from appear
ances is not a lunatic. His mind is
apparently as sound as any mans at
fifty odd years, but he nourished in
his heart a hatred for the mayor
since he was discharged for incom-
potency last July. as night watchman
of the department docks. Since then
he has repeatedly written the mayor
ANONYMOUSLY and otherwise harping
on the obsession that he had been
prosecuted and demanding redress.
He had even written the governor
and it became known tonight that as
he went on board the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse he expressed his purpose
of numbering the man he charged
with having robbed him of his bread
and butter.
Gallagher is a short, thick k-set man,
weighing close to 200 pounds. He
smoked cigar cheerfully after his
arrest. and at no time expressed sor-
row because of his deed. On the
other hand, he repeated stolidly that
the mayor had robbed him of a liveli-
hood and that he had meant to kill
him.

CHICAGO GIRL MISSING.
Parents and Police Believe Kid.
napers Have Clara Kile.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 29.-Clara
Kile, q five-year-old girl, is missing from
her fathers home. 4440. West Chicago
avenue, and it is believed by her parents
and the police that she was stolen by
kidnapers.
The parents of the girl last saw her at
o'clock yesterday afternoon, at which
hour she left her fathers carpenter shop
on Sedgwick street near Chicago avenue.
The KIDNAPPING theory is based on the
fact that Irene Andreen, a nine-year-old
playmate of the missing girl. took her
away from an old man on two occasions
the last time only an hour or two before
she was reported missing. This man re-
peatedly had offered her pennies and
candy to go away with him.
general alarm was given to all police
stations to watch for the girl or an old
man answering the description given by
the Andreen girl.

KINSMAN OF BALLINGER
GOT HIS TRAVEL MONEY
Feasted on Leaving Government
Employ and His Expenses to
Seattle Allowed.

The investigation of charges against
Secretary Ballinger and officials of the
general land Office by Representative
Hitchcock democrat, of Nebraska was re-
sumed today before the House committee
on expenditures in the Interior Depart
ment.
Representative Page Of North Carolina
introduced a newspaper account of a
farewell banquet given to Jack Balm
ger, a relative of the Secretary, before he
left for the west. 1t included a state
ment that young Ballinger was leaving
the service of the government for the
purpose of beginning law practice at
Seattle with the present Secretary Bal
linger.
Commissioner bennett of the general
land office. who was interrogated about
the payment of young Ballingers travel
ing expenses from Washington to Seattle,
was asked if a publication of such an
account would warrant the allowance to
an employe who was about to sever his
connection with the government.
Mr. bennett replied that he knew moth
ing of the banquet and reiterated that
he did not know young Ballnger was to
resign. He said he was out of the city
at the time.
