New York, N. Y, Aug. 9.-Mayor
William j. Gaynor was shot and dan
gcrously wounded at 9:45 o'clock this
morning as he stood on the deck of the
steamer Kaiser wilhelm Der Crosse
at the pier at Hoboken, N. j., about
TO start on "a months vacation in Eu-
rope.
The shooting was done by a man
who later gave his name as James j.
Gallagher of New York. He was later
identified as "a former city employe
who was discharged for various trans
grcssions. Since the discharge he has
been writing letters to the mayor.
Three Shots Are Fired.
Three shots were fired at the mayor.
Two missed and the third lodged i'm
the neshy portion of the right side of
the neck. Blood gushed from the
wound and the first hasty eKamna-
tions led to the belief of perhaps fatal
consequence. but later examination by
the physicians. when the mayor was
taken to the hospital, gave a more
hopeful outlook.
The mayor boarded the steamer ac-
conpanicd by number of city olli-
cials about to bid him adieu. The par
ty gathered on the upper deck and
there were crowds of other passengers
about the deck. The mayors party
was just about to have their picture
taken when suddenly u stranger push
ed through the throng from the rear.
He approached the mayor and without
a word began to fire.
Would Be Assassin Are I'd.
Gaynor fell to the deck, blood gush
ing from wound i'm his neck. At the
same moment one of the ships guards
sprang forward and dealt the assassin
a blow OH the head with a billy, fell
ing him to the deck where officers
quickly seized him. He was taken at
once to police headquarters. There he
gave the name of James J. Gallagher
and i'm response To inquiries as to why
he had committed the deed replied sui
lonly, "He kept me from earning my
bread and butter"
In the meantime the mayor had been
carried to stateroom and laer plac-
ed on a stretcher and carried To an
ambulance, and then to St Mary's hos
pital, Hoboten. where the mayor was
Immediately taken to an operating
room.
Wound Not Thought Serious.
The hospital physicians made a
careful examination and concluded the
injury was not necessarily serious. The
bullet entered the mayors neck back
OF the right ear. burying itself in the
region of the 1nastoid bone.

nuc.
When Gaynor was shot those. near
est him were Commissioner Thomp-
son, Corporation Counsel Watson and
his secretary, Adamson. He was bare
headed at the time. He was to go un-
accompanied 10 Europe for his vaca-
tion.
AS the mayor was being borne by
his friends after the shooting he must
have believed the end was near for he
remarked. simply Say goodbye to
the people"
Bullet is Located.
At 1907 o'clock the doctors reported
they do not believe Gaynor's wound
serious. An examination shows the
bullet did not cut any important blood
vessels
At 30--Gaynor's condition was
not so favorable. The doctors are hav-
ing trouble controlling the hemorr-

that had not been properly guarded
 against. Doubtless the facts of these various stories will all be ventilated in court and ought not to be enlarged
 upon at this time. There are four suits pending against the company, filed by surviving relatives and friends of R. P Coleman, w. H. Freeland. Jr, MT LyaIl, the motorman. and James Griffin, four of the men killed. The latter was a FhoenIx 0oy. scaracely out of his teens. Lyall came here from Steins, N M. R. P. Coleman was a brother -in-law of J. r. Cleaveland of this city and was a mining engineer engaged in part as consulting engineer b. the Ray company, or rather he was in the employ of the company's consulting engineer. MT. Freeland was also an engineer.
 The legal firm of Kibbey, Bennett x Bennett represents the prosecution in the Coleman, Freeland and Griffin cases and is associated with an attor- ney of Silver City in the Lyall case. The defense will be represented byI Chalmers X Wilkinson of this city, J. F. O'Connor of Florence and a Salt Lake attorney named King.

RAY CD. DEFENDANT
 IN DAMAGE SUITS
Trial Will Begin Tomorrow in Flor
 ence Court.

Tn the district court at Florence, to- morrow, trial will begin of the dam- age cases against the Ray Consoli- dated company, growing out of the eX- plosion on February 9, on the line of the Kelvin-Ray railroad, which result ted in the death of eight men.
 The general facts of the explosion will be recalled by most readers of The Republican at that time. Minute details of the incident are yet in con- 'trOversy and presumably form to some extent the basis of the suits. The road was not at that time opened for public business but the motor car was run back and forth by employees of the company when so directed. On that oc casion the car was filled with seven men besides the motorman. whose name was I.yall, some of whom were employees of the company and some of whom were mining experts. All were killed. one of them being the engineer in charge of the railroad which was then undergoing improvement or re- construction.
 The car passed through a little cut, or rather flanked bluff a short dis tance from Kelvin. and just as it did so there was a terrific explosion, throwing the unfortunate men high in the air and killing all of them instant ly. Stories were conflicting as to the reason for the presence of the powder. and its quantity. The car had been halted short time according to the contention of foreman and proceeded against his warning. Another story was that the powder was an old blast

Saving is done most ly by hand. logs being hewn square. There are, however, forty or fifty sdwmilI plants on the island, the machinery coming mostly from America. The cost or saving ties by hand is SIs cents. each worth in the home market 3S to 45 cents The value of oak ties averages S15 per M. and of oak logs SEQ per M. the demand being much greater for logs than ties; this demand at present is three times greater than the supply and exporters are frequently unable to secure cargo steamers for this trade The tendency is toward 10 to 15 per cent increase in prices.

1907 oak logs and lumber were eX- ported to Europe for use in furniture manufacture and railway cars.
 In the latter year the exportations of logs increased to 4.O00.0O0 feet, ann on account of the high price of fir lumber, caused by the demand for building material in San Francisco. the number of feet of ties increased to 46.OOO. GOO. From 15,000,000 to 20. GOO, GOO feet of hardwood were export ed during 1908 and 1909. not includ- ing shipments to China, which inn ports mostly logs, and are estimated to exceed in quantity and value the eXportation of HokkaidO lumber to all other parts of the world combined.
 Tine cxportation of hardwood logs and ties in 1910 will probably exceed the record year of 1907.
 The Hokkaido forests are mostly
