scure part of the grounds where he
would bring II along with others which
he had disinterred in the same way.
Then It is charged Lewis would sell the
more desirable lots over again.

.Mourners Come From Plain
People and Many are
the Children He

NEW YORK, Sept 21.--There
were such evidences of the public
mourning for Mayor Gaynor today as
daunt simple. accurate description.
One can say that 10000 people passed
reyerently through the City hall and
looked upon the mayors face; that
they were unmindful of rain and that
they enduring with patience and or
derliness such as the mayor preached
as rules of life. the tediousness of a
two-mile march.
From 8 O'Clock In the morning
until midnight there was a vast tri-
angle of moving columns which ex-
tended over space of two miles. Not
less than 10000 massed In lower
Manhattan, drawn by their desire to
express respect for the mayors
memory or by respectful interest, but
not more than 5000 Of these were
able to pass by the casket containing
the remains in the time stated. The
people entered two at time.
Thousands Pay Tribute.
Without any doubt. there was a
greater outpouring of citizens TO
honor the memory Of a greater man
than was ever known in the history
of New York. Men who remembered
the day in 1855 when the body Of
Abraham Lincoln lay in state in the
City hall. thought that the crowds of
