ences since he became mayor Of early
days at the country schoOlhouse, where
he warmed his ears at wood burning
stove in the winter and of pitching
hay and splitting rails in the summer.
After his attendance at the district
school he went for a time to the
Whitestown seminary. going thence to
st. Louis. where he taught school and
studied law and later went to Boston
to continue his studies.
Man of Family.
The GaynorS have seven children.
This summer those of them who are
unmarried have been living at his
country place at st. James. n. Y.
where Mayor Gaynor went almost
every Friday and remained until Mon
day. working with his hired men on
the farm. He always was fond of ami
mails and liked to be followed about
his country place by one or more dogs.
1t was while on his way to his coun-
try home that the mayor rescued Edi-
tor Cheney, Long Island neighbor,
with whom he was caught on a snow
bound train near Huntington. They
tried to walk into Huntington through
the storm together. Mr. Cheney fell
through trestle and was badly hurt.
The mayor covered him with his over
coat and then fought his way through
the storm, the worst Of the winter, and
got help.

And to another he said: IT hope and

morning he told to the public through
the newspapers his observations of
what he considered wrong in the ad
ministrations Of the police department
and the court as they had come before
him. and he took measures as the chief
magistrate of the city to reform both
the procedure in the court and the con-
duct and practices of the police, whose
head he has made himself actually
since he entered upon the duties of the
mayoralty.
Persistence in this method and in
acts of this sort gave him hold on
the communitys attention which was
never relaxed and it made him also
a figure of national interest and one
who was watched even abroad.
To Mayor Gaynor's crusades against
police abuses was due the present en-
forcement in New York of the rule
that arrested prisoners are not pic
tured in the rocues' gallery until after
they have been properly convicted.
In his campaign for the mayoralty
Mayor Gaynor based his plea for votes
on his pledge to give the city a bust
nesslike administration. enforcing all
the laws evenly and alike and making
the police proper servants Of the peo-
pie and not self assuming masters.
After his election he kept his list Of
intended commissioners very closely
to himself until it was almost time for
them to be sworn In. Very few Of

COMPETITIVE BIDS
REVIEWED BY COURT
ARCHITECT MAY BID ON HIS OWN
PLANS PROVIDED OTHERS BID
ON THEM

There seems TO be difference Of
opinion among the people with ref.
erence to the recent decision of the
state supreme court defining how bid.
ding shall be done on public works
and buildings in the state. From the
press dispatches concern, the opn.
ion many were impressed that any
person whose plans We accepted for
a given piece OF wo"% #lS prohibit ID
from bidding on the construction
work. An article along this liz, was
published Wednesday in ,hcsc col.
arms.

was handed down and while he did
not give special G'tCEt!cn tc liz, mran.

the press dispatches have not convey.
I'd the exact meaning of the decision
The case went up from Lawton.
oeFeral persons mad submitted their
own plans for construction work and
also bids on doing the work Tho
plans or one person were accepted
together with the price submitted
Other bidders complained that there
were no competitive bids received for
the reason they had submitted no
bids on the plans that were accept.
cd. An injunction was obtained in
the lower courts and sustained by the
supreme court. 1t seems from this
that the person furnishing the plans
may bid upon his own plans provided
other persons make bids on the Same
plans and competition exists as tho
statutes require.

miles east Of Irkutsk the Russian government has
coded to the company strip Of land ten miles wide
on both sides of the Paris New York RaiIway-mak-
ing total of 10000 square miles. v
1t is very likely that this company will make
traffic arrangements with existing lines and build
the connecting Inks but the main object is to estab
lish alrail route from Paris to New York and the
fact that the company has deposited $2O0,0O0OOO0O
in marketable securities and cash with the Russian
government is indication that the parties engaged
in the enterprise have substantial means with which
to 60 ahead and complete this great railway.
No doubt the Rothschilds are back of the VEN
ture-as else in Europe could finance rail-
way of such hinge proportions. It looks now as if
the Paris New York Railway will be going business
within the next ten or fifteen years.
The Russian government until recently has re-
fused to grant franchise through its domain, but
that it hasd SO, an all rail route from Paris
to New York under the Behrng Strait is not CHI
