NEW YORK MoURNS OVER
DEATH OF MAYOR GAYNOR
New York, Sept. 12.-City Hall and
many other municipal buildings are.
draped in mourning today over the
death of Mayor Gaynor, whose body
will arrive in New York Friday after
noon of next week. Whether the
funeral will be private or public rests
entirely with the widow and other
members of the family. /.
The fortune left by the late mayor
is estimated between $1,000,000 and
$1,500,000, accumulated through in
vestments in Flatbush property made
in the; early days of Brooklyn de-
yelopment.
Campaign button firms who laid in
big stocks of Gaynor campaign butt
tons were quick to get into action to-
day. Attacking a touch. of black to
the buttons, the vendors appeared on
the streets crying: "Gaynor mourn
ing buttons!" and succeeded in dis
posing of their stock more rapidly
than they could have hoped to do
during the campaign.
London.-Commenting editorialIy
on the death of Mayor William ].
Gaynor of New York at sea, today's
Westminster Gazette said:
''His death is a blow to the cause
of good municipal government every
where. He carried out his promises
by giving New York cleaner, better,
more thoroughly organized and
cheaper administration than the
great American city ever had before.
Mayor Gaynor showed what a strong,
determined man can do in difficult
circumstances. We hope that New
York will be able to find a successor
to Mayor Gaynor capable of carrying

Eating Up Capital.

In several states bills have been
introduced to prohibit the killing of
beef cattle under > years old, and
while the plan may not meet with
favor among the farmers, it is really
for their benefit Such a law in
Oklahoma, says the Oklahoma City
Times, would mean the conservation
of cattle and would result in accumu-
lating millions of dollars for the
farmers in a few years.
4 law TO prevent the slaughter OF
calves would not in reality work a
hardship upon the farmer, although
it might appear to do so at first.
In the end it would result in put
ting money into their pockets. The
silo would solve it for every farmer.
