ALDERMAN DIEMER
FOUND DEAD IN BED
Gas Poisoning, Result of Ac-
cident, Given as the
Cause.

Alderman John Diemer. the oldest
member of the board in point Of con-
tlnuous service. was found dead in bed
in his home. 40 Ellery street. Brooklyn,
yesterday afternoon by his wife and
her brother. Anthony Horn. when they
returned home from the parade in Man
haitian. He was fully dressed. DR..
Schwartz OF st. Johns Hospital said
death was due to gas poisoning. Both
his wife and the police think death was
accidental and was caused by the loos-
ening of one Of the gas cocks on the
chandelier. Mr.. Diemer Is believed to
have died while taking q nap after his
midday dinner.
Alderman Diemer, who was Republic
can leader of the Sixth Assembly dis
trict. was for years a saloon keeper at
the Ellery street address. He dealt
extensively in real estate and retired
several years ago owning much property
in the vicinity. He was reputed to be
worth 100000. He was serving his
eleventh consecutive term as an Alder
man, having first been elected when the
greater city was Incorporate.
During Mayor Gaynor's adminlstra-
tt0n ne was elected Vice-chairman or the
board. which would have required him
to serve as acting Mayor during Mr..
Gaynor's absence from the city. Mr..
Diemer was always of retiring DISPOSE
ton and the thought of presiding as
the city's Chief Magistrate was so dis
tasteful to him that he refused to ac-
cept the office. Subsequently the board
elected Alderman Ardolph L. Kline Vice
chairman in his stead. Shortly after
ward Mayor Gaynor was shot on a
steamship in Hoboken as he was about
to sail for Europe, and Alderman Kline
became the acting Mayor, a task which
Mr.. Dlemer barely escaped.
For many years the Forty-seventh
Aldermanic district. which Mr.. Diemer
had represented. was largely German.
OF late years, however. the Germans
have been crowded out OF that section
OF Brooklyn by Jews and Italians.
Mr.. Diemer had been responsible for
hundreds Of them taking out citizenship
papers. He was regarded almost with
generation by the Italians in his dis
trict Not long ago one of them APP
pcared in court seeking naturalization
and when asked who was the father
Of your country7" answered: why.
Johnny Diemer."
For several years Alderman Diemer
had been in poor health and he was
about to leave on a Southern trip in the
hope Of improving his condition. Be
sides his wife he leaves two children.
