In the fall of 1910 the Democratic
party called on Mayor Gaynor to run
for governor. He carefully considered
everything and then sent a letter to
the waiting convention saying that as
York city he could not resign as
mayor to accept another Office. He
had since often said the Office of mayor
was larger than that of governor and
second only to the presidency. Con
sidering the immense powers vested in
the mayor of New York, this is true.
The mayor had all along taken a
deep interest in national politics, and
nothing in that field escaped him. His
speech the tariff when Cleveland
first ran for president was widely cir

were forty saloons, only one with a Ii

houses frequented by drivers to Coney
Island and the beaches. Gaynor was
then silent young fellow. But he had
tried several law cases at the town
hall with great ability He said one
day that the government of the town
was a disgrace and the people should
not suffer it. People thought of the
two opposing bosses and smiled, for
whichever was in power the result was

they had an understanding and work

INVALID Girl. CURED
BY Threatened KISS

Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 90.-"I'll kiss
you" a threat made in a joking way
by young man few days ago to Miss
Luetta Weitzel, supposed hopeless
invalid of Lititz, was the means OF
curing her of the nervous malady that
had made her helpless invalid ever
since an operation year ago.
1t came as shock to the nervous
system of the young woman, and IN
her excitement she leaped from he~
chair and ran upstairs. Since then she
has been active and lively. She also
consented very gladly to allow the
young man to deliver the threatened
kiss.

BOY, FLEEING
OFFICER, IS SHOT
And KILLED
LACKED SOC ON BOARD BILL
Bailiff Charged With Murder
of Luther Hawkins

Columbus, Ga, Aug. 30.-Luther
Hawkins, young white boy, was shot
and killed by Bailiff L. Willis on North
Highlands yesterday afternoon as he
was fleeing from the officer. His only
offense was that he had failed to pay
fifty-cent board bill.
81 wouldn't have done this for mil
lion dollars" said the bailiff as he
gazed On the dying boy. Tonight he
is under arrest at police headquarters,
charged with murder.
Hawkins, with his brother, Andrew
Hawkins, and another young man,
came here from Atlanta, his home, a
day or two ago, to seek employment in
a cotton mill. They secured board at
the home of Charles Jordan on North
Highlands, and made application for
work at the mill. When they went to
settle their board bill they lacked fif-
ty cents of having enough. Jordan al
once telephoned the sheriff to send a
bailiff to arrest them and Willis was
dispatched to the scene.
Mrs. Jordan, sympathizing with the
boys, urged them to escape, it is said
and two of them got away. Luther
Hawkins went out through the back
yard, but before he got away from
North Highlands was spied by Jordan
and Willis, who were riding in bus
gy, hunting him. The boy began to
run and Willis jumped from his bug,
gy and pursued him.
Just as Hawkins jumped on an emf
bankment a few feet ahead. of Willis,
| the officer fired at him with his pistol,
the bullet entered the back of his
head and went through the head, lodg
| ing behind his right eye. Hawkins fell
to the ground on his face and crawled
few feet. He lived only thirty min
utes, and did not regain conscious
ness.
Willis left the scene at once, but was
later arrested by police officers at his
home. He declares that he was shoot
ing in the air to brighten the boy, and
did not mean to hit him. Hawkins was
pale-faced boy of slender build. He
was not armed.
It is understood that he has relatives
living in Atlanta, and efforts are now
being made to get in touch with them

Owens late of Augusta, Ga, called at

He worked a unique scheme to de-

ures showing on his list the amount
given by the last donor, thus changing
contribution OF so cents to one OF
$500. Late in the afternoon one con-
tributor spoke to neighbor of the
large sum which appeared on the list
as her liberal offering and was told
that the amount was ten times greater
than the actual contribution. Tele-
phoning up and down the street to
others whose names were enrolled as
generous donors, the truth was dis
covered and in every instance the
schemer" had multiplied the gifts by
ten. The information was communi-
Gated to the husbands of several of the
ladies whose names were on the list
of contributors and after investigating
the matter fully, a prominent citizen
had warrant issued against the
man, charging him with a misdemean-
or. He was arrested and spent the
