MAYOR GAYNOR
GOES ABROAD
ON a VACATION

New York, y. Y, Sept 4.-Mayor
Gaynor surprised his friends and po-
litical enemies alike today by sailing
for Europe on the steamship Baltic.
Astonishment that he should leave
New York on the eve of his campaign
for Re election was somewhat allayed
by the announcement that his trip
would last only 20 days. The mayor
will return on the same ship due to
arrive here September 25.
Mayor Gaynor's plans, previously
announced spoke of vacation trip of
two weeks to the Adirondacks, which
was to begin today. Nobody knew that
lie had gone abroad until after the
Baltic had sailed at noon
The mayor changed his plans at the
eleventh hour because he believed
that sea trip would give him greater
relief from the throat trouble that has
recurred at intervals since he was
shot more than three years ago. The
bullet that lodged in his throat is still
there and his voice never has served
him for public speaking since that
time.

according to today's testimony of Wal
ter S. Woods, general manager of the

eating committee The lawlessness,
he said, when pressed by the commit
tee, consisted of general disorder
among the miners.
"The more radical ones were STIR
ing up trouble with those who re-
mained at work. he declared.
Battles between the Paint Creek and
Cabin creek strikers and guards
were described by w w. Phaup, in
charge of the guards The climax of
his story was an account of being left
for dead after an encounter on July
25, 1912 His coat, he said, pierced
with bullet holes, was cut up at a
miners meeting and pieces were worn
on coat lapels as souvenirs.
He first told of 200 shots pouring
down on his six men on May 29. 1912,
as they were on their way to break
fast, without arms. He then decided
that a machine gun was necessary it
the guards We're to be protected
against men hidden in the mountain
foliage He told of being shot off a
handcar at Holly Grove and his com
panion being killed. AS he revived he
said he heard one striker say
Don't shoot any more; that's got
him.
Phaup dragged himself to hospital
two miles away with his arm broken
by bullet, another bullet buried be-
low his shoulder blade and a bullet
wound on his chest.
The doctor at the hospital was
afraid of trouble and put out the re-
port that I had died on the operating
table, said Phaup. 81 lost my coat on
the way to the hospital and the next
Sunday when mother Jones made a
speech to the miners, she exhibited it
and said it was decorated to suit her.
The miners hung it on fence and
then cut it up into little pieces to
wear on their coats as souvenirs"
He testified he had not seen the
demonstration himself.

MEXICAN SITUATION IS
UP IN SENATE
SENATOR BRISTOW THINKS CARRANzA
SHOULD Be ALLOWED TO IMPORT
ARMS ALSO SINCE HUERTA HAS Been
ALLOWED TO Do so UNTIL RECENTLY.

Washington, d, c., Sept. 4.-The
Mexican situation bobbed up in the
senate again today when Senator Bris-
tow declared he believed this govern
ment should permit General Carranza,
the constitutonalist leader, to get
arms and ammunition in the United
States because Huerta had been allow
ed to import arms until very recently,
Senator Bristow explained that he
brought up the question because he
had seen widely published statements
that congress was solidly behind Pres
dent Wilson's Mexican policy. To
parts of that policy, he said, he took
exception; to others he agreed. He
argued that the United States by
granting importations of arms to
Huerta had recognized him.
''It seems to me that we should rec
ognize the beligerents who are fight
ing him." he said. 81 believe the fac
tions should be allowed to fight out
their domestic troubles, but every
sense of fairness dictates that Carran-
"a should be given the right to pur-
chase arms and munitions OF war
Senator Bristow said he disagreed
with the presidents warning to Amer
leans to leave Mexico. That he main
tanned, was taken as an indication that
intervention was contemplated. He
was opposed to intervention at this
time. The senator said he refrained
from introducing resolution provld-
irg for equal opportunity for the I'M
portation of arms only because he did
not wish to stir up the discussion
again.
Senator Sheppard pointed out that
Huerta could no longer import arms,
and Chairman Bacon of the foreign re-
lations committee. said that congress
and the people of the country, in his
opinion, were in hearty accord with
the presidents attempt to solve the
problem without a disastrous war
