MAYOR CAYNOR SHOT
BULLET ENTERS NECK, LODGES
UNDER THE TONGUE.
Man Who Was Dismissed From City
Service Fires Three Shots at tho
Mayor.

New Work.-Wm. j. Gaynor, mayor
of the city of New York, while say
ing the last farewells to a group Of his
friends on the promenade deck of the
North German-Lloyd steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse at $40 o'clock
Tuesday, was suddenly attacked from
behind by an armed man who sent a
bullet into his neck and another into
his back before he was stopped. The
mayor has a chance to recover unless
blood poisoning develops.
His assailant is James J.. Gallagher,
a discharged night Waterman form
erly attached to the department OF
docks and ferries. He is So years old,
and a man Of prodigious strength. 1t
took q dozen men to subdue him after
his assault on the mayor, among them
"Big Bill" Edwards, commissioner OF
street cleaning and a former Prince
ton football player; Archibald Wat
son, corporation counsel; Ralph Bloc
mer, who was also prominent for his
football feats at Harvard as Edwards
was at Princeton, and the mayors
secretary, Robert Adamson.
Gallagher made the following signed
confession of his act to Robert w.
Bell, acting chief of police OF Hobo
ken:
knowing that Mayor Gaynor was
going to Europe this morning to enjoy
himself after %depriving me OF my
bread and butter, not porterhouse
steak. l was irritated to the point OF
committing the act"
Three shots were fired at the mayor.
Two of them missed, and the third
lodged in the feshy portion OF the
left side Of the neck. Blood gusned
from the wound, and the first hasty
examinations led to the belief of seri'
Gus and perhaps fatal consequences.
The mayor retained consciousness,
and a later examination by physicians
when the mayor was taken to the
hospital gave a hopeful outlook.

VENDING BEHIND IRON BARS
Detectives Covered 1900 Miles in tho
Hunt for Alleged Murderer.

Hunt for Alleged Murderer.
Louisville.-Joseph Vending, who
was returned to Louisville Friday, af-
ter a remarkable chase, to stand trial
on the charge of killing little Alma
Kellner, is a prisoner of the common.
wealth of Kentucky.
The return of Vending to Louis
Vile marks the end of probably the
longest chase in detective history. The
return trip from San Francisco to LOU
isville stretches the real hunt of about
II, 200 miles to a total of over 10000
miles.
Not until May 80, the day the mutt
lated body of Alma Kellner was found
in a cellar beneath St. Johns paro-
chial school, was Vending connected
with the disappearance of the child. It
was believed that the child had been
kidnapped. Numerous letters were re-
ceived by the Kellner family and
Frank Fehr, a wealthy brewer and
uncle of the girl, demanding ransom
for her return.
Four months previous to the discov-
cry of the body Vending had left
Louisville quietly, not even letting his
wife know that he was going away.
When bloody clothing was found in
Weddings room he was charged with
the murder, and the wheels of the
continuous search for Vending were
set in motion.
The evidence against Vending will
be purely circumstantial, according to
Edward Tierney, of the board of pub
lie safety.

It was pointed out that the Indians
never had secured large amounts of
money due them without having to
"come across in the shape of fees,
and although they employed regular
lawyers on yearly ~salries, extra fees
were constantly paid for the employ

fee of $4,000 was paid several years

are known as the citizenship cases."

Portland, Ore.-Secretary of the In

Secretary Ballinger deprecated the
hysteria and excitement with which

of that territory to import their coal

Many First Bolls.

First cotton bolls have been reported
from a number of counties in Mississippi.
Opening of the staple is by no means gen.
eral, however, and it is not likely that
there will be a first bale reported until
the latter part of the month. That the
boil weevil is steadily continuing its
northeasterly march across the state is
shown by the discovery of the insects in
several portions of Leake county, fifty
miles north of jackson, and the pest will
probably become general in that section
before the close of the year.

DULANEY WANTS CHANGE VENUE.
Believes He Cannot Get Unprejudiced
Trial at Jackson.

On Wednesday, August 81, the time
will have arrived for taking up formally
the motion of counsel for l.. c.. Dulaney,
indicted by the grand jury last March
for alleged tender or giving of a bride to
Theo G.. Bilbo, a member of the state
senate, in order to influence his vote in
the choice of a senator, for a change of
venue on the general ground that the de-
PENDANT could not secure a fair and i'm
partial trial in Kinds county.
This motion was pending at the June
term of the criminal section of the court,
but for obvious reasons Judge Henry de-
ferred the hearing until the time indi-
Gated. As the matters and things con-
nected with the case are of statewide
notoriety it is quite probable that it will
be one of the most interesting and sig
%nificant court sittings within recent his
tory of the state.

Attacks upon children by dogs and

Animals that are extremely thirsty
during the heated term are as apt to

All owners Of animals should exercise

COTTON LADING CONCESSIONS
Returning New Orleans Banekr Ex-

New Orleans, La.-That there may
be some concessions on the part OF
the English bankers in regard to their
demands that American bankers guar
antee bills of lading on cotton, is the
opinion of S. J.. Wexler, a New Or
leans banker, who has just returned
from Europe, where he attended the
conference held to discuss this sub
ject.
"The new rule does not become ef-
fective until October 81" said Mr..
Wexler. II am hopeful that the con
ference to be held in London Sep
TENDER 5, between American bankers
and English financiers, will bring
about notifications Of the demands.
On no commodity except cotton do
thew make such a demand. Further
more, the plan obtains only with ref
erence to cotton from America, and
from no other country"

: NOEL GETS BOND CIRCULAR.
He Doesn't Think London Bankers
Scheme Has Had Much Effect.

He Doesn't Think London Bankers
Scheme Has Had Much Effect.
A copy of the circular recently is
sued by the London corporation OF
bondhoiders urging the New York
stock exchange to blacklist Mississippi
state securities, because Of the alleged
reputation of bonds by this state In
ante-bellum days, has reached the
governors office.
Gov. Noel declines to comment on
the circular except to express the
opinion that its issuance had nothing
whatever to do with the states failure
to sell 5000, 900 in bonds a few weeks
ago. He attributes the fact that the
bonds were not sold on account OF the
state of the money market, and the
fact that no state has been able dur
ing the past six months to negotiate
4 per cent securities.
The London corporation Of bond
holders evidently believes that, by
thus declaring a blacklist on Missis-
sippi securities, it can force the state
to pay the alleged ~repudiated bonds,
issued in the early SOS. The London
fnanciers are perhaps not aware OF
the fact that the Mississippi const1tu-
ton contains a clause prohibiting the
recognition of these alleged securities,
and that public sentiment in this state
would never indorse such an action,
even if it were possible to arrange Tor
their cancellation without an amend
ment to the constitution.
The principal and accumulated In
teresI of the Planters bank bonds,
computing interest at 6 per cent for a
period of sixty-seven years, amounts
to $40, 1000, while the principal and
interest of the Union bank bonds
amounts to $780, 100000, making a
grand total of $36, 100000.
