fn the hope of regaining his strength
to enter the three-cornered municipal
campaign as IA candidate for reelection
died suddenly the Baltic as the
steamer was within few hundred
miles of the Irish coast yesterday aft
ernoon.
The first news of his death, flashed
by wireless and reIayed by cable from
Europe. reached his secretary. Robert
Adarnson, this morning. The mayor had
succumbed TO heart failure, the message
said.
Later dispatches from his son. Rufus
w. Gaynor, who was his fathers onl,
travelling companion. give details
which showed that the end had come
with shocking suddenness.

Father died at 107 p. m, Wednesday,
the 10TH said message from the son
received by Secretary Adamson tonight.
''TIis death was due TO heart failure. W
was seated in his deck chair at the time.
] and the nurse and the ships doctor
were with him. 1 discovered him uncon-
scous in his chair though stil alive. He
died about three minutes later without
recognizing any of us. Everything possi-
BILE was done. but he seemed TO go as a
candle fiickers out. Am all right and am
trying to arrange to bring the body back
on the Lusitana sailing from Liverpool
on Saturday, the 1Sth.'
That the mayors heart had been in a
weakened condition for years was the
statement tonight of physicians who
treated him at the time he was shot in
the neck and almost done to deah by an
insane discharged employe of the city in
August 1910. They would not declare
their belief that the wound inflicted b.
the bullet mad led directly to the end
today, but did affirm that his general re-
sistence had been lessened thereby to a
very great extent.
Plans for a public funeral to be held
probably on Monday, September %, will
be made tomorrow by the board of esti-
mate.
A definite understanding that the
body of Mayor Gaynor should be
brought here on the liner Lusitania was
reported late tonight between members
of the mayors family and representa-
tives of the White star line. 1t was
doubted that the Baltic coulc make
Queenstown before the departure of the
Cedric and the plan to have the Lusi-
tania take the body on board was
deemed most advisable. The big tur-
biner is due here next Friday.

NEW YORK, June 2I.-Here's a
real snake story and an advertise
ment for linen collars all in one! The
hero and the author OF the great
reptile yarn is Gerhard Wieder, third
officer of the Prinz August Wilhelm,
at her dock, after a voyage from the
West Indies. with $4,000 punches Of
bananas in her hold-but that's an
other story.
While the Prinz August Wilhelm
was lying in Pearl Lagoon. Mica

adventure. He is an ardent collector
Of moths and butterflies and ha5
gone into the jungle In quest Of spec
linens. He had caught a particularly
beautiful insect In his net and stoop-
ed to pick up his prize when he was
struck a blow on the neck that sent
him sprawling.
When he saw the cause he scram-
bled to his feet fast enough. A snake,
known In those parts as the jimbaree
and deadly poisonous, had struck
him.
Wieder affects exceedingly high
collars. In fact. were Il not for the
ears they would engulf him COM
pletely. To this he attributes his
life, for the fangs Of the jimbaree
could not penetrate the stiffly
starched linen.
"The collars are warm In the
tropics" said Wieder, but hereafter
