Physician Says Executive Shot by

Satisfactory Night"

Gaynor passed satisfactory night"
according to one OF his physicians this
morning. There was no change from
his condition last night when this but
letin was issued:
Mayor Gaynor has had comfort
able day and he has taken sufficient
nourishment. He is cheerful, strong
er and is now resting quietly.
THE complete photographic exami-
nation by DIR. c. ID. Caldwell shows
definitely that the bullet Is lodged in
the vault of the pharnyx, easily &C
cessible; but 1t is not considered wise
to attempt to remove it at present
THE blood examination is also sat
isfactory." n
What the physicians call In theil
bulletin q completed photographic
examination is really a new examina
ton is really q new examination alto
gether which was forced by the fact
that from the x-ray plates taken
Tuesday the physicians In attendance
upon the mayor were not able to 10.
cate the bullet within half an inch OF
exactness in the lateral plane. This
means that there still remains much
doubt as to the location OF the bullet
literally.

ailments were all due to lack Of nour-

In the opinion OF jail attendants.
Miss Wardlaw deliberately starved
herself to death. This has revived ru-
mors circulated at the time of Ocey
Snead's death, when the history OF
the mysterious household was under
investigation, that death pact ex'
listed between Miss Wardlaw and her
niece.

thropIst.

WAITHAM, Mass. Aug. 12,-Rob-
ert Treat Paine, president of the Am
erican Peace society, and widely
known as a philanthropist, died last
night.
The end came at 10:40, the patient
sinking into death almost impercept-
ibly. He was suffered from paral-
ysis and had been unconscious for
several days.
Il was through his efforts In behalf
of peace among the countries OF the
world that Paine became a figure OF
something more than national prom
inence. As president OF the American
Peace society his work occasionally
took him to Europe, and at The Hague
his name was enrolled among the
prominent advocates OF disarmament.
Born in Boston I'm 1855, the son OF
Charles Cushing Paine. who was
grandson OF Robert Treat Paine, one
OF the signers Of the declaration OF
independence, Mr.. Paine's career OF
philanthropy and religious endeavor
forms a chapter in the history OF that
city during the past half century.

during the week proceeding the
primaries. meetings will be held In all
parts of the city. No formal indorse-
ments were given by the committee
and II was noted that the name OF
Mayor Breitmeyer was not mentioned
In the speeches. A story 10 going
around to the effect that the club had
planned to pass blanket resolution,
indorsing every Republican candidate
who had served only one term, but
that this was headed on for some un-
known reason.
Congressman DENLY was the chief
speaker at the banquet. He defended
the, ayne-Aldrich tariff bill and the
administration generally against the
attacks that have been made against
II. He denounced the muckrakers
and characterized the attempt to i'm
plicate Vice President Sherman In
the Indian land frauds as scurrilous
and unjust. The attempted assassin
alton of Mayor Gaynor was but
trifiing incident, he declared, compar-
ed with these attempts to steal a
mans honor. Mr.. DENLY also referred
briefly to his own experience on the
committee that investigated Clifford
Pinchot's charges against Ballinger.
Attorney Fred Schmalzreidt, for
merly deputy city clerk, discussed the
primary law which, he declared, Is
defective In many important particu-
lars. Il falls far short Of accomplish
ing the purposes for which 1t was in
tended, he said. He pointed out how
II had worked against the- Republican
party by enabling members OF other
parties to disstate nominations.
The committee voted to hold one
or two big meetings In each ward be-
fore the primaries, Sept. 9. In addi-
ton to these the various ward COM
mittees have planned numerous meet
ings.
