This threatened not only Mr.. Koenig,

MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS
BOOM MAYOR FOR 1912.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 10.-The attempted
assassination of Mayor Gaynor was
the chief topic in political circles here
yesterday. He has many admirers III
Minnesota, and should he live a major
lty of the Minnesota delegation to the
nexi national Democratic convention

Frank Day. secretary of the Demo
cratic State Committee, said: mayor
Gaynor has a strong hold on the peo-
pie of the United States. and is the
inevitable candidate for the presidency
He has been my choice for president fol
six months"

Minnesota favors him for President"
Richard T. OConnor. leader of the

MAYOR GAYNOR'S LAST.
LETTER CAME TO NEWARK

What was in all probability the last
official letter written by Mayor Gaynor
befone leaving on the proposed vacation
which was so abruptly and sadly ended
in Hogooken yesterday, was received by
the Rev. E. A. WATSON, of II Elizabeth
avenue, pastor Of st, Stephens Episco-
pal Church, this city.
A week ago the Newark clergyman
had OCCASION to visit one of the munich
pal departments in New York. He was
not in clerical garb and had no Gre
dentials that entitled him to more than
ordinary consideration from the depart
ment employees. So much impressed,
however, was DR.. WATSON with the
politenes and courtesy shown him by
the city employees that on returning to
his home he wrote to Mayor Gaynor,
expressing his qualification at the man
per in which he was treated.
Only a short hour before he report
of the shooting of the mayor reached
this city a letter from the mayors Of
fee In New York arrived at DR.. Was
sons home. A fac-simile of this COM
munication is published on this page.
II told Of Mayor Gaynor's delight at
hearing a good report Of the conduct of
the public servants and read a. follows:
"City of New York,
coffee oil the Mayor.
"Reverenda and Dear Sir-I am much
gratihed by your letter of August 8,
with regard the politeness of people in
the public service. Among other things
that we are trying to bring about are
politeness n attention to all by the
city's officers and employees. Sincerely
yours, w. ]. GAYNOR, Mayor"

from his home In Brooklyn. his outdoor
life are great advantages. The bullet is
lodged in muscular structures, from
which 1t ought to be possible to extract
it with little danger"
Yesterdays attempt ON the life of
Mayor Gaynor will probably result In
the taking of greater precautions here
after to guard the person of the city's
executive. Friends of Mayor Gaynor,
who realize that he was making bitter
enemies by his methods of running the
affairs OF the city, have frequently
warned him OF the danger Of going
about un-accornpanied. Particularly
they urged him to drop his habit Of
walking to and from his home across
the Brooklyn bridge. 1t was often dark
when he started his walk over the
bridge, but he always declared that he
had no fear of personal injury from
anyone with a grudge." If any danger
came, he told his friends, it would be
from an irresponsible crank.
The Board OF Aldermen at Its next
meeting will be asked. either by a
petition of citizens or through a reso-
luton introduced by "a member, to
authorize a permanent bodyguard for
the mayors person.
A still more radical move which will
be recommended will be the passage of
an ordinance to compel all persons
carrying or owning firearms to obtain
a license and all dealers, manufac-
turers and buyers to do the same.
United States Judge George c. Holt is
a supporter Of this plan. He declares
that nineteen-twentieths of the crimes
.oF vtolanca are the result of the easy
access which the criminal classes rave
to the use of revolvers.
1.-THE repeating pistol" he says. SIS
the greatest nuisance In modern life.
and 1t would be entirely j~ustiiable for
the government to prohibit h manu-
facture and sale OF any pistols in this
country except in national armories for
the use of,the military and police"

VICE-PRESIDENT SHERMAN

UTICA, N. Y, Aug. 10.-Vice-Presi-

news Of the shooting Of Mayor Gaynor.
He said: II know nothing in the life Of
Mayor Gaynor that would invite such
an attack. II is horrible. / am ex-
tremely sorry. Mayor Gaynor is a fine
type Of citizen and public servant, and
the attack must have been the work of
a mailman, for no person in his right
mind would attempt to terminate such

ST. JAMES, Long Island, Aug. TO-
That Mayor Gaynor had a fear of as

day by n~eighbors, who told how that
as recently as last Saturday and Sun

that some day a bullet would end his
career. Several of the neighbors said

said that he had received a number of
threatening letters which worried him.
He declared he did not believe the

CLOSELY PARALLELS MURDER
!, OF MAYOR HARRISON IN 95.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-In several
: respects the attempt to assassi-
nate Mayor Gaynor in Hoboken
yesterday resembled the murder

. Worlds Fair mayor, just at the
. close of the big exposition in
! 1893.
!. Like Gallagher. Harrison's as
! sailant, Eugene Patrick Joseph
: Prendergast. harbored resent

. fusal of employment he sought,
In both cases the homicidal
mania developed rapidly. its
progress being marked by threat
ening communications. Neither
of the men apparently contem-
plated an effort to escape from
the police. Each commended that
, his crime was justified by the
wrong he charged had been done
him.
i, The chief difference between
the cases-so far as Geographic
!. reports now show-was that,
!. while each assassin planned his
! deed in cold blood, Prendergast
. showed decided symptoms of in
. sanity, and his demand for am
J ployment was for an appoint

Highway is Wanted East OF Will
age of Laurium Through Sec
tons Is ala
TAKEN UP AT NEXT MEETING

Farmers and residents of Laurlum
presented to the Calumet township
board yesterday, through It's clerk.
George Martin "a petition praying that
a new road be built east OF the village
of I.aurium, through Sections IS and
"a, In SO township north, and Range 80
west. The proposed new road will be
about q mile in extent to connect with
new road being built I'm Schoolcraft
township on n line between Sections
ms and 10. n Township So. Range 80.
The petition will be brought before
the board at it's next regular meeting
TO be held week from next Tuesday
morning II is not known whether
favorable action will be taken or not,
but II will be given due consideration.
The proposed new stretch of road
would prove OF great benefit 10 farm
ers and others i'm that district.
The now road would run alongside
the county line i'm a southerly direction
and not vary far from the old
Colony district, where there are
"a number of large farms. 1t
is admitted that the road is needed,
but whether the township can afford to
build 1t this summer is a question.
II is believed that the township will
build the proposed new road from
Copper City 10 the Trap Rock river
district. The proposed right of way
through one farmers property has not
been secured as yet. II the right of
way rs secured the new road will be l
and Il miles in extent. Failing to Sc
cure the right of way will mean the
following section line the whole dis
lance and the building of about a half
mile moro of road than by the more
direct route.
Commissioner Mugford will start
work shortly macadamizing a short
stretch of road leading from the village
limits on Pine street west TO the Tam

it's organization on March |. of this
year. The event passed by practically
unnoticed. with the exception that 1t
has tended to draw attention 10 the re-
markable strides the association has
made since it's organization.
Starting out with charter member
ship of a few members, the company
today numbers a little over $500 mem
bers, with insurance i'm force amount
ing to $2,750,OOO. The company also
has assets amounting to 100000, which
practically insures the members
against assessments, unless a very ex-
tensive conhagration should ensue.
An interesting feature of the COM
pany's progress Is the dividends that
have been paid back to members since
it's organization. For instance at the
end of this month one of the old MEM
bers will draw his fourth dividend,
which is payable every years. Dur
ing the time he has been a member OF
the company he has carried insurance
averaging about $4,000 yearly. The
first year of the companys life he paid
two assessments amounting To $22.44,
but since that time has not been called
upon to pay any more. His first div
idend amounted to $500; the 2nd.
$244.12; 3rd, $49O.66; and 4th, which
will be due May 81, $504.25. This
makes total received in dividends OF
$1,57252. During the 20 years he has
been carrying insurance in the COM
pany he has paid i'm premiums $2,453-

several other members who have re-
ceived dividends in like manner. The
most serious fire loss the company has
sustained so far this year was through
burning OF the Nordstrom building Mt

and which was a total loss. There have
