MAYOR GAYNOR OIES ON ATLANTIC LINER NEAR JRISH COAST (Continued from Pas One)

INTERPRETATION ON ROAD TAX LAW

(Continued from Page 1.)

worryBome controversies involving j clashes with various city departments, j

were the re-organization of New York's gigantic police force, the suppression of gambling rooms and disorderly houses, the police department graft exposures and the "curfew reitrictions," to prevent all night liquor drinking by closing tenderloin cafes between midnight and sunrise. Gaynor's Obituary. William J. Gaynor, jurist and politician, was born the son of a poor far

mer near Whitestown, N. Y., in 1851. i

He received his early education at the public schools of Whitestown and later at the Whitestown seminary and in Boston and was originally destined to enter the priesthood of the Roman Catholic church. In his young manhood Mr. Gaynor taught school in Boston, and afterward studied law in Utica, N. Y., removing to Brooklyn in 1873 to continue his studies. Meanwhile he made a scant living by working for newspapers. He was admitted to the bar in 1875, and went to live in Flatbush, then a separate community in the control of corrupt politicians. Straightway Gaynor began to study his surroundings and developed his fighting qualities as a reformer. He found that Flatbush had forty saloons, but only one liquor license. He obtained evidence against the saloons, had their proprietors arrested and compelled them to take out licenses. Elect Gaynor. Although opposed by both political machines, a reform ticket was elected and Gaynor waa appointed police commissioner. In 1885 Mr. Gaynor moved to Brooklyn and soon found himself arrayed agf.inst the late Hugh McLaughlin, the Democratic boss. When the town of New Lots was annexed to Brooklyn in 1889, the boss and his friends, with their peculiar foresirT.t, purchased, through dummies, the Long Island Water Company in the new addition for $185,000. Their purpose was to sell it to the city and they had contracted with the mayor to dispose of it for $1,500,000. Gaynor denounced the deal as a swindle, and declared he would stop it. He had a taxpayer's suit started to prevent the consummation of the deal, and eventually won in the highest court in the State, saving the city of Brooklyn nearly one million dollars and beating the ring out of the same amount. Next, Mr. Gaynor started out to make the elevated roads of Brooklyn pay their taxes. The Brooklyn political ring "stood in" with the traction companies, and had refused to allow the property to be Bold for the delinquency. Gaynor compelled the traction companies to pay about $1,000,000 into the city treasury, much to the astonishment of McLaughlin's men. Mr. Gaynor fought the ring in various other ways, its overthrow being complete when, in 1893, Gaynor, declining a citizens' nomination for mayor, took a nomination from the Republicans and

Independent Democrats for justice of

the Supreme Court. At the same time the fusion city ticket, headed by Charles A. Schieren, won a sweeping victory. Overthrows Gang. Coincident with the overthrow of McLaughlin was the annihilation of Chief of Police John Y. McMane, Democratic ruler of Coney Island, whoBe padded list of voters was used to swing elections with impunity. The next year David B. Hill wanted Gaynor to take the Democratic nomination for governor, but he declined and also refused to accept a nomination for judge of the Court of Appeals. In 1895 Gaynor refused the nomination for Mayor of Brooklyn, because it did not come from a united Democracy. In the following year he strongly supported Bryan and the radical Democratic national platform. He was a candidate against McClellan for the mayoralty nomination in 1903, but was defeated by the Tammany influence. In 1906 he was a leading candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, but was defeated and supported Hearst. At the election in 1909 he was elected Mayor on the Tammany ticket, but contrary to expectations he maintained an independent position and aroused considerable enmity among gang politicians by his energetic reform measures. On Aug. 9, 1910, while about to sail on a vacation trip to Europe. Mayor Gaypr was shot and seriously wounded by James G. Gallagher, a discharged city employe.

I am The Laurel 20th Century Heater

I am the one real solution of the high cost of living problem, in so far as heating is concerned. I'll heat your home just as well with the cheapest grade of slack that can be bought, costing about $2.50 a ton, as any ORDINARY base-burner will do with hard coal costing about three times as much. Just figure up what this saving would amount to to you and decide if I am not worthy of at least a little investigation. I do my work in just as cleanly a man

ner as the finest base-burner that was ever built and I only cost about half the price of a base-burner of equal heating capacity. I have become so popular, on account of the enthusiastic praises showered upon me by my users, that last year, dealers everywhere were compelled to turn down orders for me before the cold weather hardly set in because the demand was greater than the manufacturers could take care of. Don't YOU get left this year.

This is a Wonderful Firepot which has built up my reputation. As soon as a fire is started the bottom grate is closed, the air, without which as you know no fire will burn, is then admitted only through slots around the side of the fire-pot, causing the fire to burn from the outside, thus giving the greatest possible heat, coking the coals in the center and consuming all smoke and gases. The Patented Laurel Pouch Feed Prevents Any Escape of Smoke or Dirt Even Where Extra Fuel Is Added. COME IN! LET'S TALK IT OVER! VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. BE SURE TO CALL AT STORE
