FRIENDS WORRIED
OVER GAYNOR'S
CONDITION
Victim of Attempted Assassina-
ton Is irritable
x.RAY USED ONCE MORE
Report Of Friction Among Attending
Physicians Increases Feeling
Of Anxiety.

New York, Aug. 12.-Mayor Will
liam ]. Gaynor may be making salts
factory progress as his attending ply
sicians persistenly maintained yester-
day and last night, but there is an
undercurrent of doubtful anxiety evil
denced that runs contrary to the Off
cial bulletins.
His surgeons say that he had sat
isfactory day, that he is cheerful and
stronger and was resting quietly,
more than holding his own against
the pistol shot wound inflicted on
Tuesday by James J. Gallagher. AS
opposed to this attitude of optimism,
those who read the 1890 bulletin
thoughtfully noted reference to com
plete photographic" examination, in.
dicating that it was necessary to take
second set of negatives in order ac-
curately to find the position OF the
bullet. That an additional set of
negatives was taken has been report
ed heretofore, but the rumor lacked
confirmation.
Nothing is said in the bulletin of
the split bullet" mentioned as indl-
Gated in the first pictures; instead,
the lead is now said to be lodged in
the roof of the mouth, Whether the
other shadow as indicated in the first
picture is a splinter of bone, one OF
the physicians would say.
A sample of the patients blood was
examined carefully last evening and
pronounced satisfactory, the relation
OF the white and red blood corpuscles
having been found so near normal as
to cause no alarm. Although rumors
are ahoat that his physicians are IN
disagreement, Robert Adamson, his
secretary. and Il. j. Lederie, health
commissioner OF New York, gave out
a statement discrediting the reports
Of friction among the medical ad
yisers
Gallagher, the would-be assassin, In
prison in Jersey City, is beginning To
lay the ground work OF his defense
1t will be insanity. Alexander Simp
son of Jersey City, a counsel for the
prisoner, says he has investigated th'
mans record and finds basis for 1
trace of hereditary insanity
when we reached Gallagher
CELL" he said, DIR. Potter pointed hi
finger at the man and cried. WHY
did you shoot the mayor" Gallagher
burst into tears and answered: I"
had to do so to get Justice"
The New York authorities placed II
the hands OF the prosecutor Of Hud
son county yesterday copies OF all th'
letters Gallagher has written to May
or Gaynor and other officials OF thu
city administration. While New Yorl
will have no direct hand in the trial

were all due to lack of nourishing
food
In the opinion Of Jail attendants.
Miss Wardlaw, deliberately starved
herself to death
For several weeks the womans con-
dition had been growing worse and
last Monday she was removed from
the Jail to the house of detention. In
the cell she occupied was found a
quantity of food which she had con-
cealed. AT the end physicians de-
clared that the womans stomach had
become so atrophied that 1t was inn
possible for her to retain food, even
had she desired to do so.
What effect Virginia Wardlaw's
death will have on the fate of her inn
prisCned sisters is still to be deter
mined She was the dominating in
iluence of the strange household
and predictions were made last night
that Mrs. Caroline b. Martin and
Mrs. Mary w. Snead. the other sis
tiers, may never be brought to trial.

NATIONAL GAME
TRAvESTY Of
THE YEAR
Big BurIesque Perpetrated BY
North Adams
PITTSFlELD SCORED a TIMES
Tunnel Diggers Made One Lone
Tally But Had a Beautiful Dozen
of Errors.

The worst travesty on the national
game in the four-cornered league this
season was pulled off at North Adams
yesterday when the home team was
defeated by Pittsfeld to the tune Of
81 to /. The Tunnel Diggers appear
ed to be as helpless as a bunch OF in
fants and Judging from the size Of the
error column must have mishandled
everything too difficult for a primary
school team to field.
Harrington, the North Adams star
pitcher, was given the pounding of
his baseball career Something like
II hits were made off the Rochester
college boys twisters and he appear
ed to have been badly off in his con-
troll, as he gave five batters free trans
portation to first base.
The Pittsfield players must have
been a weary bunch when the game
was over. Genest and Robarge circl
ed the bases four times each and
every man on the team had from one
to three runs to his credit.
Only two players on the North AID
ans team failed to get into the error
column Harrington got by" with
out a misplay and Mahoney took five
chances in left field without slip
How he did it amid such ragged as
sociations is a marvel. BILLY" King
the former Bennington right fielder
occupied the same position on the
North Adams team and had two mis-
plays scored against him.

TALKS AT HEARING;
CRITICISES LAW
Says Financial Life of All Roads
Lies In Hands of Interstate
Commerce Commission.

What President WfILardTold
Interstate Commerce Board
Declared that the credit of the
railroads was at stake in the ques-
ton of advancing the freight rates
as proposed.
The earning history of a company,
its bonded Indebtedness and the
size and application of its surplus
are the elements that a railways
credit is based upon.
Without an increase in freight
charges the roads would face a
serious situation and be unable
to develop their resources.
For every dollar paid in dividends
to stockholders, another dollar
should be put back in a railroad
property out of earnings"
This is VIGOROUSLY a country of
high prices. Wages are high, ma
teTial is high, but freight rates
are lower than in any country in
the world"
