.GOYERNBSS' DEATH
LAID TO COACHMAN
Despite Effort to Die, He
Protests Innocence.

POughkeepsie, n. Y. Jan H-After a
long interview with Frank Schermerhorn,
coachman for Barnes Compton, who is
accused OF the murder OF Miss Sarah S.
BTymOT. Comptqus nurse. Chief ~ Po-
ice McCabe announced this evening that
he was just as certain as before that
SchermerhOrn killed Miss Brymor, not
withstanding the coachman. who had cut
his throat twelve hours after the mur-
der. had declared himself to be innocent
and had repeated his charge that Ohashi,
the japanese butler, committed the
crime
McCabe remained al the eoachman's g
bedside for some tine, but was unable 10
get him 70 change his story, which the
chief Of police and the county autn0ri.
ties do not believe, especially as Scher-
merhorn processes TO be as anxious TO
die as when he was found yesterday
with his throat cut At one time to
day, when he thought the policeman on
guard by his bed was not watching, he
called the nurse to his side and asked
her in whisper to get him something
to end his life. The nurse. Of course,
told the policeman.
Schermerhorn drove TO POughkeepsie
Wednesday with Mr.. and Mrs. Compton
Who went by train TO New York. On
his return the coaehnan took the maids
out for a sleigh ride, and. leaving the
sleigh, went into a saloon in Washing
ton Hollow. When he came out after
some time, he was noisy and boisterous.
The girls say that when he left them
at the Compton house, shortly before
midnight, his face was clean At this
time Mss Brymor was sleeping with her
young charge on the upper veranda.
where, within two OF three hours she
was assaulted and strangled.
From the appearance OF the marks
which the maids afterward saw on his
face the police believe that he burned a
cork and grotesquely disguised himself.

right kind OF a joint committee Is named
the President believes the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation VIII largely take
/ care Of itself
He regards the reconciliation Of the
insurgents and regulars IN the selection
Of the House members Of the joint COM
mittee, however. az an exceedingly es-
sentiaI preliminary. When such an agree
ment is carried ont the President will
press home an agreement for caucus
participation on the interstate commerce
amendments. on postal savings banks.
ship subsidy, Statehood. and all meas
ures recommended IN the Republican ma
/ tional platform
he has asked for some legislation not
covered in that document. but to him
now the paramount thought Is 10 exc
cute she COMMISSIONS which the people
have Iatrusted to him.
Under that arrangement the President
would ike 10 take up certain measures
OF legislation which have not been much
discussed Of late. he Is much in earnest,
for instance. about having an anti-in-
junction law, so-called, but he wishes it
10 conform 20 the plank OF the national
platform.
The objections members Of Congress
have raised before him on the Injunction
question have borne much upon the pros
pect that. II once a bill Is taken up in
the House, II would be loaded down with
radical amendments which could not be
accepted.
II there can be an agreement to put &
Republican caucus o. X upon such q
measure, drawn under the Presidents di-
rection. he would seek TO have II enacted
into law at this session.
Regulars Are willing.
The regulars are said to be willing TO
abide by the action Of the caucus on all
administration measures. That action
would take from the Committee on Rules,
which the House insurgents have bitterly
criticised as the Speaker most offensive
instrumentality, much Of its p-erogattves
Il would virtually make the caucus a
legislative entity outside Of the House
itself
The President believes the plan holds
out &c the insurgents an opportunity to
cooperate with him IN putting through
the bills 10 which his administration is
committed. He emphasizes. as he has
been doing, that he has no quarrel with
those Republicans who do not think iden-
tically with him about certain party IS
sues, but he claims a right TO their sup
port Of legislation which the country has
approved
He has assured the insurgents that he
is making no war upon them, but IS sim
ply using the instrumentalities given him
for obtaining legislation. The President
was long ago convinced that patronage
was an undesirable perquislte Of his Of
fee.
He strongly disiikes having to do with
the bestowal Of Federal places. He is
thoroughly convinced that a Presidents s
time could be far better occupied with
other things. He will not, however, ex-
tend patronage favors TO insurgents who
have raised the black flag against him.
He leaves his visitors to infer who the
Senators and Representatives are that
come within that category.

New York, Jan, H-Mayor Gaynor
nearly got lost in a snowdrift tonight
on his way to his country home at St.
James. Long Island. Charles E. Shepard,
OF Huntington, Long Island, the editor of
the Long islander, was with the mayor.
Mr. Shepard was badly hurt by a fall
from a railroad trestle. Mayor Gaynor
was so much exhausted by the time he
reached TIicksviIIe that he was compelled
to spend the night in the house Of DR..
Adolph C. Rave in that village. 1t was
said tonight that ne was resting quietly
there.
The mayor took train at Z o'clock FOR
St. James. The heavy drifts Of snow
choked traffic on the road, and the train
was stalled about a mile east Of Hicks
vile. The mayor saw then that 1t would
be impossible to get away and began 10
walk toward Hicksville.
MIR. Shepard offered TO go with him.
In an attempt TO cross a trestle Mr..
Shepard could not stand the wind and
him had fallen from the trestle.
Mayor Gaynor had some difficulty in
getting his bearings. but within half an
hour he reached the village His ears
were frost bitten. and he was so weak
from his efforts against the storm that
he had to be helped to the house.
Mr.. Shepard, It is feared. broke both
legs and several other bones about his
body. It is thought that he also was
injured internally. AS for the mayor,
DR.. Rave said that he was weak from
exposure. but that he would probably
be all right tomorrow.
It was a fine old-fashiOned snOwstOTm,
and before It began TO peter cut. as il
did before the wind began shifting TO
the northwest, about $50 o'clock to-
night. It had equalled the Christmas
downfall.
Gale Along Coast.
The cyclone that caused the trouble
came across the country almost in a direct
line and swept off the coast tonight in
the neighborhood Of Atlantic City The
highest wind created by its flight was
NliaL al Dto1A 4S4aAN Wttith otbalL4tA q
maximum Of seventy-six miles. This
means hard times for navigators along
the New England coast.
The snow area extended from Massa-
chusetts into Virginia. and inland from
the coast to Western New York and
Pennsylvania.
Messages Are Delayed.
The telegraph companies CVestern
Union and POstaD said their wires were
all right in all directions, although mes
sages were taken subject TO delay"
Many persons VINO were stopping at
the hotels for a few days previous to go
ing South hurried away to-day in that
direction, for fear that they would be-
come stoTmbouHd if they remained here
over night.

A full face of ore for about 60 feet Is the excellent showing in the tun- nel on the Santa Fe claim. Cant John A Duncan's property.

However. it may be said that assays are from g. to ss in gold. and from fl to 15 per cent lead. One sample assayed $40.
 The tunnel is in about so feet On attaining this length. the hanging wall was struck; and drifting is be ing accomplished east and west along the wall. The direction of the tunnel is south; and it was driven to tap an ore vein that had been ex- posed in an open cut Owing to the Tact that the vein pitches at quite ap angle southward. it was necessary to drive beyond a point vertically under the open cut in order to catch up with the same vein that is shown above. The vertical depth attained Is probably 55 or 60 feet.
 The formation up to the bangns wall is diorite. which carries plenty of iron.
