Did Not Lose Consciousness.
Meanwhile on the way to the
hospital the wounded man did not
lose consciousness. Upon his ar
rival at st. Mary's hospital he ask
ed that an effort be made to clear
his throat of blood. Ether was
administered, and DR.. Melville be-
gan probing for the bullet. One
of Gaynor's sons accompanied his
father to the hospital.
Shortly after Gaynor arrived at
the hospital Drs. Struach and
Meyer, the surgeons, issued the
following bulletin:
"Only one bullet struck Mayor
Gaynor. The missile entered at
the back of the head below the
ear in the region of the mastoid
bone, where it buried itself. Pre-
liminary examination discloses
that the wound is not necessarily
fatal"
Capture Sensational.
The capture of Gallagher was
sensational. The first shot from
the maddened mans revolver
struck Gaynor. Two other shots
followed before Gallagher was
overpowered. Bystanders declare
that the other bullets were fired
at Secretary Adamson, although
this could not be confirmed.
Adamson was unhurt.
The football training of Com
missioner Bill Edwards, who
weighs $50 pounds and played
guard on the Princeton eleven,
aided in the quick capture of
Gallagher. Edwards made a fly
ing tackle, catching Gallagher
above the knees and bringing him
violently to the deck. Gallagher
fought desperately, but his re-
volver was wrenched from his
hand. Edwards then sat on Gal

Merchants Be Honest.
Mr.. Driscoll's latest move is to
propose selling eggs and bread by
weight. He has found an old Or
dinance providing for it, and the
housewives order soon may be:
"Send up three pounds of eggs,
please"
on the standard he might be
likely to repeat, even at the ex-
pense of millionaire importer.
Driscoll meant time both ways.
Time for the wholesalers to
change their trade customs into
honest methods and time in jail
IL they didn't.
The wholesalers had extended
the practice even to Europe. They
had ordered the foreign manufac-
turers to label goods falsely, and
the foreigners, ever willing to
oblige an American, had COM
piled.
This revelation stirred up an
other set of men who had been
Sinking their jobs. The tariff
law provides against false labels,
So the men under Collector Loeb
looked around bit, and found
81, 100000 worth of falsely Ia
beled goods in the New York GUS
tom house. They promptly seized
them.
In his Investigations Driscoll
found one New York manufactur-
er annually selling 100000 fraud
ulent scales in the city. He found
other scales manufacturers send
ing $12.000-a-year statesmen
around explaining to merchants
how to falsify accurate scales.

More than that, this game of
Fleeing the public had gone out
broadcast over the country to
western merchants dealing with

The annual skinning literally
amounts to hundreds of millions
of dollars annually in the United
States. Solve the problem ma
tionally, as Driscoll Is solving it
in New York, and you have done
much to reduce the high cost Of
living. So Driscoll says.
Driscoll's inspectors began
with the hucksters. They confis-
Gated false weighing scales, dou-
ble-bottomed measures, weights
bored out and filled with paraffin
and cork, dented-in liquid meas
ures and a host of other contrap-
lions.
Then they went after the mid
die class retailers. They found
scales so clogged with dirt they
couldn't register correctly. Re-
tail dealers were buying milk
from wholesalers in cans SO bat
tered they wouldn't hold within
two or three quarts of the re-
CURED forty.
Driscoll's men piled up thous-
,nds of these fraudulent weights
and measures in a huge heap in
City Hall park. Then, for an OBJ
{ 5ect lesson, men with axes de-
troyed every device. The frag-
ments were towed down the bay
and dumped in, to give the fishes
new scales.
In the big shops the inspectors,
some of them women, had to act
as detectives. The scales we're ac-
curate, but the butchers, throw

and then steadying it to stop the

would bear down with thumb and

The detectives found that wom-
