LONG, ENVIABLE RECORD

William J. Gaynor. who now lies
wounded by a would-be assassin's bull
let in a Hoboken Hospital. Is go years
of age, having been born in Whites
town, Oneida county. New York State,
where his father was a farmer.
After going through the district
school at Whitestown young Gaynor
took a curse at the Whitestown Acad-
envy and later went to Boston, where
for a time he taught school.
Later he moved to Utica. N. Y,
where he commenced the study of law
in the office of Ward Hunt, afterward
a justice of the United tates Supreme
Court,
In 1873 he went to Brooklyn, where
for two years he worked on the news
papers Of both Brooklyn and New York
city. studying law every minute he
could possibly devote from his regular
work.
In 1875 he was admitted to the bar
and Immediately commenced the prac-
tise Of law. which he followed con-
tinuousiy both as lawyer and Judge
until his election as mayor of Greater
New York last November.
Early in his career he started the
work that made him famous, the
breaking up of political rings, corrupt
and otherwise. The first thing that at
tracted his attention was the number
of unlicensed saloons in Flatbush, now
q part of Brooklyn, then a separate
town. By a reform movement headed
by Gaynor and the election of honest
officials he wiped out all the illegal
saloons in a short time.
Long an Enemy of Corruption.
In 1856 he moved to Brooklyn, and
then commenced the fight hat lasted
for eight years, finally resulting In
1893 In the complete overthrow of Hugh
Mclaughlin, who for a quarter of a
century had welded despotic power In
Brooklyn politics. Gaynor devoted
four years to studying the McLaugh-
lin ring. and in 1889 his opportunity
came.
The town of New Lots was annexed
to Brooklyn. That town had a LITTLE
water plant known as the Long ISLAND
Water Supply Company. The Nc
L~aughlin ring quietly bought up thu
stock for $l85,600 an ? then made a con
tract with Alfred c.. Chaplin. theI
mayor of Brooklyn, and his associate
to buy the plant for something Xix

KING ALFONSO is GLAD
TROUBLE WAS AVERTED.

MADRID, Aug. 9.-King Alfonso,
who is visiting in England, today tele-
graphed Premier Canalejas expressing
his satisfaction hat trouble at San
Sebastian on Sunday had been avoided.
The government has decided to allow
the Catholic juntas which are being
formed throughout Spain to continue
in existence so long as they keep within
the bounds of legality.
Arrangements are being made for a
big anti-government demonstration at
Murcia.
The publishers OF several Catholic
papers have been cited to appear in
court for having stated that the pre-
mier advised the king to the
title of Catholic king"
The A B C today says that Mgr. Vico,
papal nuncio at Madrid. is no longer

tered in the presence Of officials Of the
king.

become fully aroused to the acts of the
Mclaughlin ring and urged Gaynor to
run for mayor.
He declined to run, but a few weeks
later was unexpectedly nominated for
justice of the Supreme Court. At first
he refused to run. but was later per-
suaded to do SO in order to help out
Charles A. Schieren, the fusion candi-
date for Mayor. who was running on a
reform ticket.
The selection was a great victory for
the reform element, the normal Demo
cratic victory of 10000 being wiped out,
Gaynor being elected by a majority OF
$4,000. h election resulted in the
downfall of John Y. McKane, chief of
police of Coney Island, who had pos
sessed for a year a padded list of 1000
names in a town that only had a popu-
lation of 10000. McKane was absolute
and openly boosted that no one could
take his power away from him.
Gaynor not only did 1t but sent Nc
Kane TO Jail for seven years, and also
imprisoned sixteen of his followers for
various lengths of time. 1t was this
fight that made Gaynor's name known
from one end Of the country to the
other.
In 1894 he declined the d. nocratic
nomination for the g~overnorship OF
New York State, and the same year
was nominated for a seat on the SUI
preme bench of New York State, which
position he held for fifteen years, OF
until he was nominated for the mayor
atty Of Greater New York.
His career since then is too well
known to need review at this time.

Especial to the Newark STAR

TRENTON, Aug. 9.-Calling attention
to the fact that the State laws provide
that all gas meters shall register ac-
curately the mount of gas passing
through them, the State Board of Pub

SAY JAIL GUARDS
KILLED PRISONER
FOR HIS MONEY
Suit Against Officials for Shoot
ing Man Who. They Said,
Stabbed Two.
$500 IS SAID TO HAVE
VANISHED FROM DEAD MAN
Relative Ayers That Angelo
CapriO Was Locked in
Cell When Shot.

Alleging that Angelo M. Caprio, who
was shot to death by guards in the
county Jail just after he had stabbed
two of them on August Is of last year,
had been attacked by those seeking to
rob him, his brother-in-law, Nicola
Racipoppi, is preparing to bring suit in
the interests of Caprio's four children
against the jail officials for $4,000
damages.
Henry Pomerehne, an attorney of 156
Market street, who is preparing the
suit, is undecided as to who will be
| made the defendants, as he is not GER
tain in whom responsibility for jail af-
fairs Is lodged. He declares. however,
that as soon as this weighty point mas
been settled the suit will be brought.
Says Keepers Were After His 800.
Racipoppi declares that his brother
in-law was attacked by the keepers,
/ who were endeavoring to obtain $500
he was known to have when he was
arrested, and that 1t was while he was
| endeavoring to defend himself that he
was killed. He insists that the shoot
ing was unnecessary under any circum-
| stances as Caprio was never at any
time outside his cell and might have(
been Quilted easily.
Two of Caprio's children, ir-
interest the suit is to be m
living in Newark and the otS
are in Italy.
According to the version
tragedy, which resulted in the dea
Caprio and the wounding of
guards, which was given out at the
at the time of it's occurrence, Capt
was held without bail for alleged co
plicity In the murder of Salvatore E
recca, sharpened an iron bar to
needle point struck Keeper job
Bryant a crushing blow over the hed
when the guard entered the cell
bring him his
Bryant's cries for help brought to hi
assistance Keeper Matthew j. Smith
who was stabbed in he head with thu
sharpened iron spike.
Bryant is said to have raised HIM
self to a sitting posture, drawn his'
gun and fired one shot which pene-
trated Caprio's legs.
Keepers Wound Not Serious.
Attracted to. the scene by the tu-
multi Keeper John Korby fired three
bullets into the prisoners chest and he
fell dying to the loor. Bryant and
Smith were taken to the City Hospital,
where 1t was found hat their wounds
were not so serious as was feared at
nrst.
The story of the shooting Is denied
by Racipoppi, who maintains that
Caprio could not have attacked the
keepers first; that there was no pos
sibillty of his scape at any time, and
that he was known to have $500 in his
possession, which was never accounted
for. He holds it a significant circum-
stance that the trouble occurred during
the temporary absence from the Jail of
the Italian keeper. He is prepared to
prove, he says, that the trouble was
forced On Caprio, who, he alleges, was
promised his release from Jail il he pro-
duced the money he vas believed to
have concealed somewhere.
