THAT SHOT AT GAYNOR
COST NEW YORK S19.6OO

New York, Dec. 22.-The Board of
Aldermen voted unanimously to pay
doctors bills aggregating $4,000 for
services to Mayor Gaynor after he
was shot in Hoboken in August, 1910.
The bills had been cut down from
$26,1OO.
The Mayor had offered to pay the
bills from his private resources, it
was said today, but the physicians de-
clined to accept payment from him,
and made out their bills to the city.
Seven physicians sent in their bills,
the highest being that of DR.. William
]. Arlitz, of Hoboken, $500, and the
lowest that of DR.. Chares III. Peck, of
this city, $3.50. In addition there was
one bill of $500, two of $4,000, one
of $4,000 and one of $3.50.
Originally they totaled $26,1OO, but
the doctors, it is reported, agreed to
reductions.

"Mr. Hunter, you have been charg-

crimes ever committed under heaven,
and if deep down in your heart you
are guilty and l baptize you, it will
be downright mockery. l want to ask
you, Are you guilty or not guilty?"
Raising his right hand above his
head, Hunter replied:
Before my just God l stand here

about the murder of those innocent
women than a babe yet unborn. Be-

Mr.. Wilder then immersed him in
the tub which had been provided, and
as the old man came up out of the

said he had expected. Hunter issued

"HOLY GHOST" LEADER

Promises to Prove a Model
Prisoner

Atlanta, December 22.-Frank w.
Sandford, otherwise known as Elijh
H., leader of the Holy Ghost and

the Atlanta penitentiary without en-
deavoring to convert anybody, either
guards or prisoners, to his new re-
ligion, and without conducting him
self in any way other than nran of
quiet sound sense
He was not the fanatic that some
had been led to expect him. His
laundering denunciations of the peo-
pie who convicted him, and his de-
claration that signal disasters would
come upon this nation following his
conviction, all seem to have been left
behind, and he has settled down To
serve his time here as a model pris-
'oner.

MEAT BOYCOTT MAY
INCLUDE SIX NATIONS
"High Cost Of Living" to the
Fore Again

Chicago, ILL.,, December 22.-The
high cost of living" questionable all
important question gstriking the
workingman at his most vulnerable
point, his pocketbook-is to find a
partial solution in the exclusion of
the beef trust" from competing for
English army contracts and the an
ticcipitated boycotting of products of
the United States trusts" by the
general public of that isle.
IT, as the packers fear, Russia, Ger
many, Italy, France an dJapn follow
this led of England, met nd met by
products will IKE decided slump and
the workingmn will be the triumph
ant winner, with the stock raisers of
the country-not the ackers-holding
the small end of the horn.
This opinion was expressed today
| by packers and Board of Trade men.
Few cared to voice their views
gloomy from a Board of Trade stand
point as they are-although acknow-
Lodging that the situation is a Sc
rious one.
On the Board of Trade the every
move of European nations will be
anxiously awaited until the anti
trust prosecutions pending in the
courts are finally decided.
The law of supply and demand is
the basis for the prediction of the
ackers and Board Of Trade men. Thes
declare that if the Americn exporta-
ton of meat and by-products is cut
off and the packers are forced to ca
ter to the domestic trade alone, the
price Of meats can only be held up
by terrific display of physical
force"

WRECK OCCURRED NEAR ATLANTA and MOST OF The INJURED ARE
RESIDENTS OF GEORGIA. NUMBER Of INJURIES GREAT

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 22.-Forty-one
persons We're injured last night in the
wreck of train No. SO of the Seaboard
Air Line, near Gloster, Ga.
The wires to the scene were torn
down, and it was not until this morn
ing that details of the derailment be-
came known. None of the injured will
d,e. according to the railroad officials.
Gloster is 25 miles northeast of At
ldnta.
The train left Atlanta at S:35
O'Clock for Washington. 1t was go
ing at 40 miles an hour when near
the Gloster station it struck broken
rail The engine and several cars
went over safely, but a Pullman
sleeper and one first-class passenger
ca left the roadbed and went into a
ditch.
The injured were in these two cars.
Their hurts consisted of cuts and
truises. II there had been more Sc
riCus consequences the railroad
would have had difficulty in caring
I,r the victims, as the surrounding
country is sparsely settled and few
if any doctors at hand.
A train with physicians and
wrecking apparatus was dispatched
from Howell's station. The tracks
were clear by daylight
Most of the injured live in Georgia
and the Carolinas. They include:

The wreck occurred, according to-
reports reaching here, when No. 3,
southbound, took a siding to wait for
No. 104 to pass. A negro fagman
in his haste to set the switch so that
No. 3 could proceed is said to have
thrown 1t before the other train pass
ed with the result that the other train
plunged into the siding upon No. 3.
1t is reported that the fatal inju-
ries are confined to trainmen. No.
104 was what is known here as the
Mexican Mail, carrying through mail
from Ell Paso to ST. Louis, via the In

|MERCERIANS
WILL TACKLE
LOCALS SOON
FAST BASKETBALL GAME HERE
Locals to Have Swift Team
to Oppose CGIIGgianS

What will be the first basket bal
game of the season with a college
team is that which has just been ar
ranged for by Secretary Murray Dunn
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, with the Mercer basket bail
team, which is scheduled for the
night of Thursday, December 2S,
| here.
Secretary Dunn received a letter
from Coach Stroud, of the Mercer
five, who acceded to the request of
the local team for a game with the
CT llegians while they are in this Sec
lion of the state Christmas week, and
The night of December % was named
by the visitors and at once accepted
by Secretary Dunn Secretary Dunn
was glad to be able to arrange this
game.
The Mercer five will be the fisrt
out-of-town five that has played the
locals this season, the Dawson team
hCing the only other team that has
heen scheduled here for series OF
games, as the Albany games went by
the board on account of the failure
of the Albanians to accept the chal-
lenge of the locals. The coming CON
tast will he a most welcome one for
this reason
MERGERS five last season aspired to
the highest honors in Southern bas-
ket ball cirslce, and came very near
realizing them, for it was defeated by
Vanderbilt in the final series by on
ly very few points. Whether the
team has as good players this season
is ~ known, as the season is still
young and no match games have been
played by Mercer except with the
Grant Park team of Atlanta which
was defeated by the Mercerians hand
lily.
Needless to say, however, that the
locals will be prepared for the
strongest team that may be sent. The
very best of the local players will
be in the team that is to represent
the Y. M. C. A. Sherlock will not
be in the lineup unfortunately, as he
will be in New York at that time. But
the swiftest and most expert players
available will be used to fill this
vacancy and to make up the lineup
for the local five. Under these cir
cumstances the game will one of un-
usual interest as local basket ball |
enthusiasts will be out in great num-
bers.
After playing the locals here, the
Mercerians will tackle the Dawson
team the following night in Dawson.
These two games being played to-
gether will doubtless leave the co.,
legians pretty sore, but they will
travel with a number of substitutes
ready to fill the gaps. After leaving
here the Mercer team will go as far
south as Jacksonville before they re-
turn to Macon.
The game Of the locals with Daw-
son, which was scheduled for last
night will not be played now until
after the Christmas holidays, when
series of games with the Dawson five
will be gotten under way.

GHOSTS we're HEARD BY
THESE NEWLY.WEDS
Husband and Wife Both Fled
PrGCipitatGIy

| Ottumwa, La, December 22.-"I
tell you that the house is haunted and
will not live in it under any con-
sderation," declared Alva Shelley, A
young man about 20 years old, to
Justice of the Peace w. j. Berry. My
landlady will not believe me when
say there are ghots and spirits in
that house of hers, and l want to
make an affidavit witnessed by you,
that the house is inhabited by ghosts
and spooks. l heard them last night,
and you couldn't hire me to stay
there with my wife another night"
Such was the startling statement
made to Justice Berry by this hus-
band of but four days. He paid the
justice 25 cents to draw up the affida-
Wit, and was sincere in his declara-
tions as a colored parson at a re-
vival meeting. He related a weird
tale to the court.
Shelley was married recently and
rented a house for himself and his
wife near the old pickle works on
Hayne street Friday following he
moved his household goods into the
plce nd began his life of domestic
happiness. Two women in the neigh
borhood told him the house was
haunted, declaring that all kinds of
strange noises emanated from it's
dark rooms at night. He laughed
at the warning and on the fateful
first nights rest in his new home.
When all ws dark and he was Sleep
ing peacefully he was awakened by
most blood curdling sound
Took Bride and Fled.
Arising from his pillow he dis
tinctly herd noise like the choking
of man at the end of a rope, hang
ing himself and struggling for
breath. The rope stretched and it's
cracked under the strain The paper
on the wall cracked continually, and
together with the ghostly hanging
of a man, made sounds that struck
terror into his heart. Not daunted
he arose and struck a light and ex-
by the ghOstly enactment of suicide,
amined the house. He found moth
ing, and the noise ceased.
Thinking it hallucination of his
own mind, he returned to his bed.
Straightway the same terrorizing
noises commenced. When he realiz-
ed that he was not dreaming he made
up his mind thta he had been hear
ing real ghosts. He would not stay
in that house another minute. Ac-
cordingly he reused his bride, they
dressed themselves and at II o'clock
went to the home of his mother,
leaving the house in the possession
of the spooks.
Shelley visited his landlady the
next morning and told her of his aw-
ful experience. She refused to be-
lieve him, and nothing that he could
say or do would convince her tt
he had heard the frightful gasping
and gurgling of the suicide and the
cracking of the rope and the wall
paper AS a last resort he came to
Justice of the Peace Berry to make
an affidavit that the house was
haunted and that he heard the noises
that he described
