surprise to his friends. who had be- ieved that his health was excellent up until the time he was shot.
 The mayors death at this time came to me as a great shock" said Dr.. Parrish At the same time l was aware that he might expect a sudden end at any time The signs of his ser1- ous condition have been evident ever since he was shot.
 Weakness of Heart Evident.
 One of the mayors heart muscles was in a weakened condition. At the same time he suffered from arter1o chIeriosis. The two complaints often go together. At the time he was shot in Hoboken the weakness of his heart was very evident. It was the kind of trouble that is likely to bring a man s life to a. sudden close at any time.
 The trouble with his throat had nothing directly to do with his death. But, of course, the prolonged strain had its effect on his vitality.
 Was a Great Worker,
 Mayor Gaynor was a great worker He would never take any vacation, He was never a man to cOddle himself, He fought shy of doctors even when he had a bad headache, of which he often complained. In the old days when he was on the bench he would stay longer in court than any other justice-often until 6, when court was supposed to adjourn at f. I warned him over and over again that he must take a thor ough rest.
 Impossible. absolutely impossible! was his only answer"

MEXICAN ELECTION
 SET FOR OCT. 26TH.
United States Not Bound to Recognize
 Winner of Contest,

Washington, Sept. 11.-Adninistra- tloH officials here are convinced that the Mexico City authorities have no effective plan of their own to bring about peace in Mexico and that the sit uation there is baff1ing.
 This government will await with interest the election scheduled for Oct, 26 but does not feel bound to recognize the government resulting from that election. Should an election be at tempted while most of the country is still up in arms. and in which a ma- Jortty of the people shall have had no voice, the American government will adhere to previous precedents and withhold recognition. These are the views expressed by officials in admin istration circles who know the posi- ton of President Wilson.
 President Wilson left tonight for Cornish N. H.. to spend the week end with his family at the summer White House, and during his absence no further developments are expected, The administration will await with inter- est, however, the message to be deliv- cred by Provisional President Huerta next Tuesday in the Mexican con- gTeSS

Lamar Arrested
 at Washington
ACCUSED OF IMPERSONATIN
 FEDERAL OFFICERS
EXTRADITION CONTEST
Effort to Get Him Back to New York
 May be Long Drawn out-Impers-
 onated Congressman on Telephone.

Washington, Sept. 11.-David Lamar, conspicuous figure in the senate lobby investigation and now under indict- ment in New York for impersonat1ng here tonight by order of Attorney Gen. eral McReynolds. He was released on s3.000 bond.
 An Extradition Contest
 What promises to be a long drawn September IF. the date set for Lamar's appearance before the United States commissioner here. The warrant on which fle warrant was made was is- sued by the federal court in New York and had been brought here be- fore only to be carried back, the au- thorities to get their hands upon La mar in New York state and avoid the necessity of extrad1tion proceedings and delay of probably a year or more.
 Lamar Not Surprised.
 In the meantime Lamar has been in Washington stopping at a downtown hotel and appearing at the capitol almost daily to attend sessions of the senate lobby committee. Lately he had vainly tried to get the investi- gators to hear him expose what he said was a great railroad lobby main tained in Washington
 R. O. Sampson, a New York special agent of the department of justice, came here this afternoon with the bench warrant, and accompanied by several district officers, arrested La mar as he was entering his hotel. The prisoner did not seem surprised and within a few minutes had summoned by telephone his lawyer and 8 bonds man.
 Impersonated Public Men.
 When Lamar a former Wall street broker, first took the witness stand be- fore the senate committee and non- chalantly told of impersonating Rep resentative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, Representative Riordan of New York, and other public men, in an effort to have Edward Lauter- bach New York lawyer, employed by the Union Pacific railroad for work in Washington, it was said that there was no law by which he could be reached. Later, however, the case was investigated by the federal grand jury in New York and indictments returned charging the former broker with fmpersonating federal officers with intent to defraud-
 Extradition Process Slow.
 This is said to be the first attempt on record to punish impersonation of a member of congress, although there have been various instances of such impersonations and bills have been in trodIced to make the act unlawful.
 The process of extraditing from the District of Columbia Is extraordinarily slow. When arraiRned before the commissioner, Lamar will demand proof of a prtma facie case against him, and the government then will pre- sent the record of the New York in- dictment. If eXtradltion Is ordered, then the prisoner may bring the mat ter before the supreme court of the district by suing out a writ of habeas corp11E

AMERICANS UNDERBiD
 BY ENGLISH BUILDER
Rriton Awarded Contract for Turbine
 Drums for U. s. Battieship.

Washington, Sept. 11-An English builder today was awarded the con tract for turbine drums for the new est American battleship, No. 39, at a little more than one-t third the price offered by the lowest American bidder. The accepted bid. $57, ,436, was subni- ted by New York agents of the Cyclops Steel and Iron Works, Sheffield. Eng land.
 It is exceptional for the navy de- partment to send a contract abroad but Acting Secretary Roosevelt held that the action today was Justified by the tremendous difference between the English and American prices. The Sheffield bid includes the payment of duty, and by giving the work to the foreign builder the United States saves more than $1OO,000.
 There were two American bidders the Bethlehem Steel company, S169,- 568, and the Midvale Steel company $160,272. The Carnegie company, the only other domestic concern equipped to build the drums, did not seek the contract.

 My father. William Jay Gaynor, died on board the White Star liner Baltic at seven minutes past one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. His death was due to heart failure and he was seated in his chair when the end came.
 The deck steward had been with the mayor a few minutes before his death and had taken his order for luncheon, the mayor marking the menu to indicate the dishes he desired.
 T was on the boat deck and went below at the lunch call to tell my fath- CT that his lunch was ready. He had been taking his meals in one of the stateroons and he was seated in his chair, apparently asleep. I shook him gently but he did not respond.
 His trained nurse, who had been with him ten minutes previously, was summoned and the ships surgeon, Dr. Hopper, was called. The mayor was given a hypoderTnic injection and ar tificial respiration was resOrted to, but it was quickly apparent that he was beyond any aid. An examination with a stethoscope showed that the heart was no longer beating The body was taken in charge by the ships off cePs, embalmed and placed in a sealed casket.
 "On the morning of his death the mayor arose at about nine o'clock and after a hearty breakfast went on deck. He walked about the boat deck at frequent intervals, keeping in the sun and he watched the men go through the fire drill.
 About fen minutes before one he descended to the promenade deck and went to his chair, remarking that he felt very well
 During the voyage his health had steadily improved and his nervousness had decreased noticeably. He took a great deal of interest in the run of the ship day by day and he was par ticuIar to know just where the Baltic was when the chart was posted in the companionway each day.
 "On behalf of my mother. my fam fly and myself I wish to express pub- licly my deep gratitude to Captain Ranson and his officers for their kind ness, courtesy and unfailing thought fitness, and to acknowledge my debt to the passengers for their most cour- teol1s consideration at all times in re- specting the mayors desire for pri- vacy.

Meyer Says Stockholders Committee
 Was Instrumental.


 Boston. Sept. 1L-Defnite assertion that, the stockholders protective com mittee was largely instrumental in bringing about the retirement of Charles S, Iellen, as president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, was made today by George Won L. Meyer, former secretary of the navy, and chairman of the committee.
 The committee took no formal vote on the matter. Members of the com- mittee, Mir. Meyer said, made their recommendations in informal talks with directors of the road. Accord ing to Mir. Meyer, the committee rep resented 330, 900 shares of the roads stock. or about one-fifth of the out- standing capital.
 Mir. Meyer claimed that one man in himself alone could not handle so vast a proposition as the entire New Haven system, with it's two complete rail- road systems, it's trolley companies and it's steamship lines.
