w. ]. Myers, aged forty years; his
wife Grace, twenty-five years old, their
seven-year-old son Ralph and Frank
Bouton, Mrs. Myers father, are
dead.
Each of the four had been killed by
a bullet and the police are convinced
that all OF the fatal missiles were
fired by w. ]. Myers, the proprietor
of a shooting gallery, crack shot. All
the bullets had penetrated the brains
of the victims.
Myers had been living apart from
his wife and child and this circum-
stance, together with the fact that the
revolver was found beside him, con-
WINGED the police that he shot the
other three and killed himself.
Myers and his wife are said by the
police to have quarreled and separated
several weeks ago and the woman Is
declared to have caused his arrest re-

under bond to keep the peace. Since
that time he had not been living at

MINERS FIGHT ON
President Lewis 10 Kissed at Opening
Of Special Convention In
indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind.-The fight over
the Illinois compromise agreement be-
gan before the special international
convention of miners.
At the opening session President
Lewis counseled harmony in a speech
to the delegates. His report on the
strike situation in the entire country
brought boots and Kisses, when he
mentioned the recommendation to the
Illinois strikers to pay all over III
cents a ton of the cost Of shot-firers.
Secretary Perry Of the miners came
out as an opponent Of President Lewis
and recommended that the convention
make the Illinois strike the main is-
sue of the international union to be
fought until all the demands of the
proposed Peoria agreement have been
accepted by the operators.

were charged for than could &c got In
Brooklyn and New York combined. A
bill for one street stand carried more
lumber than was contained In all the

swindle and declared the official audit
to be fraud. The ring went to the
legislature and had the bill legalized.
Mr.. Gaynor went to the governor and
had the bill vetoed. In spite Of the
ring, Mr.. Gaynor compelled a true
audit.
On the State Supreme Bench.
In 1893 the people of Brooklyn be-
came fully aroused. The sight of one
man whipping the combined forces of
political corruption in battle after bat
tie stirred the city profoundly.
A mass meeting asked Mr.. Gaynor
to run for mayor. He declined, saying
that he had worked to create a public
sentiment that would drive the ring
out of power; that was his object, not
to get an office for himself. A few
weeks later he was unexpectedly NOM
mated for justice of the Supreme
court. He at first refused the nomi-
nation, but was finally persuaded to
run to help elect Mr. Schieren, the
fusion candidate for mayor. The
election was a tremendous victory for
reform. The standing ring majority
of 10000 votes was wiped out. Mr..
Gaynor was elected to the Supreme
court by a majority of $4,000 votes,
and the whole ticket with him. That
was the end of the famous McLaugh-
lin ring. It never got back into power.
The career of Mayor Gaynor since
he became the chief executive Of New
York has been as picturesque as 1t
has been exciting. The limelight OF
the country has been almost constant
ly directed at him. His friends de-
clare that he had way of accom-
plishing big things in little time.
His famous controversy with w. r.
Hearst aroused comment throughout
the country. His activities In bring
ing about reforms In the police de-
partment also attracted much atten-
ton, and, incidentally, made him many
bitter enemies.
The controversy between Mayor
Gaynor and Mr.. Hearst became fnten-
sified as each day the mayor Issued
a new statement in support OF his po-
sition or to deny the statements cred
tied to him.
