HOUSE EACCEPTS FREE CATTLE
Conferees Dispose Of Several Sched-

Washington, Sept. 13.-Democratic
conferees of the senate and house

rates extended to March /, 1914 the
tobacco schedules. the lumber sche-
dule and all agricultural schedules.
with the exception of the proposed
banana tax and the countervailing
duty on wheat.
In the metal schedule the conferees
struck the first snag and after sew
eral hours discussion the entire mat
ter was passed over to be taken up
later.
Contrary to the general eXpecta-
tion little diff iculty was encountered
in the agricultural schedule. the
house conferees agreeing to free cat
tie.
However, the dispute on the coun-
tervailing duty on wheat is yet to be
settled

Mayor Gaynor Of New York E1-
pires in Deck Chair.
"AS CANDLE fL|CKERS OUT"
Son Sends Brief but Picturesque Ac-
count of the Passing OF Noted
Gotham Executive.

New York, Sept 12-How Mayor
William J. Gaynor of New York met
his death on board the steamer Baltic
on which he was bound for England,
was wired here by his son, Rufus w.
Gaynor, who was his only travelling
companion.
The picturesque head OF the New
York municipality succumbed to heart
failure, brought on by fatigue as re-
suit of his anxieties in the mayors
chair and the wound which he re-
ceiyed three years ago at the hand of
a discharged employe, according to
the dispatches from the younger Gay
nor.
The end came suddenly while the
mayor sat in his steamer chair on the
deck of the liner. In the picturesque
words of the son, "he seemed to go as
q candle f1ickers out" Rufus w. Gay
nor's message said:
Father died at 1:O7 p. NJ, on
Wednesday, the 10th. His death was
due to heart failure. He was seated
In his deck chair at the time. and
the nurse and the ships doctor were
with him. l discovered him uncon-
scious in his chair, though still alive.
He died about three minutes later
without recognizing any of us. Every
thing possible was done, but he SEEM
ed to 60 as a candle f1ickers out"
That the mayors heart had been in
a weakened condition for years was
the statement of physicians who
treated him at the time he was shot
in the neck and almost done to death
by an insane discharged employe of
the city in August, 1910.
Wound fastened His Death.
They would not declare their belief
that the wound inflicted by the assas-
sins bullet had led directly to the
end, but did affirm that his general re-
sistance had been lessened thereby to
a great extent.
Plans for public funeral, to be
held probably on Monday, Sept. ~.
will be made by the board of esti-
mate. Late advices from abroad say
the body will be transferred from the
Baltic to the steamer Cedric, sailing
from Queenstown; or, if that arrange
ment cannot be effected, to the Lusi-
ania, sailing from Liverpool on Sat
urday, and should arrive in New York
Friday or Saturday of next week.
The death of Mayor Gaynor auto
matically transferred the office of may
or to Colonel Ardolph l.. Kline, Re- !
publican, president of the board of al |
dermen. Colonel Kline took the oath |
Of office and his first official act was |
to call the board of estimate together
to lay plans for the public funeral
services of his predecessor. Mayor
Kline then declared that during his
short term of office, which will ter
inmate on Jan. l, 1914, he would car
~ out the policies of Mayor Gaynor,
so far as he knew them.
