Mayor of New York Succumbs to Heart Dis
ease on Steamship Baltic While Trav
eling to Europe in Vacation
New York, September 12.— Mayor William J. Gaynor, who left
this city last week rather unexpectedly for a trip of three weeks to
Europe as a vacation before entering into an active campaign for
re-election as mayor as an independent, died of heart disease
aboard the steamship Baltic on Wednesday afternoon. The body
will be shipped back from London on the first steamer.
All the tlags of the city were placed at half mast on receipt of
the news of Mayor Ga.ynor’s death, and a feeling of sincere sor
row was felt throughout the metropolis.
William J. Gaynor was born in Whitestown, Oneida county,
New York, in 1651. He was admitted to the bar in 1675, and ap
peared in many important cases, and was a writer on legal subjects;
he became nationally known for his work in breaking up rings
within the Democratic party and his action in securing the convic
tion of John Y. Kane for election frauds; was a judge of the state
supreme court for 14 years, and twice declined the Democratic
nomination for governor. He was elected mayor in 1909, and was
shot and severely wounded in 1910 by a disappointed office-seeker
named Gallagher. Mr. Gaynor was one of tlie first men to speak
upon favoritism in freight rates, and made a series of addresses on
the subject.
Oakland. Cal., September 10. —While witnessing the Admission
day parade of the Native Sons of the Golden West in this city
today, Franklin K- Lane, secretary of the Interior, became so en
thusiastic and overjoyed at the gorgeous spectacle that he fainted
dead away, and it required quite a little time to restore him to con
seiousness. His physicians say that Mr. Lane will require several
days of absolute rest to bring about his normal condition.
Lane Improving at Berkeley
Berkeley, Cal., September 12.—Secretary Lane, who is now in
this city, is showing improvement in bis condition.
Winnipeg, Man., September 10.—Advices have been received
lie re from the Royal North West Mounted Police that Harry Rad
ford. the American explorer, and George Street had been killed by
Eskimos in the Arctic regions of northern Canada in the winter.of
1911-12.
Last Accounts of Radford’s Trip
Edmonton, Alta., July 27. —Harry V. Radford, the American
explorer, who discovered a large herd of wild bison in the Great
Slave Lake district of the Hudson bay country several years ago,
sent a note through one of his‘'breed” guides to the outpost on
Herschel island a year ago telling the factor in charge of the trad
ing station that he intended to work farther north, and probably
remain in the country until 1915. He has adopted the dress of the
Eskimos, and will live with them the latter part of his stay.
Howard Allen, head of two whaling outfits which go out from
Herschel every year, who has passed the last four years on the
Arctic coast, brought the foregoing news to Edmonton yesterday.
This is the first authentic word received on the Outside in several
years from the explorer, who has been in the North four years,
making a special study of animal life.
“The half-breed guide laid in a stock of supplies at Herschel;”
Allen said. “He brought word that Radford would not need any
more provisions until he was ready to take the homeward trail, as
he intended to stay with the Eskimos. There was a report two
years ago that Radford had lost his mind; also that the guides who
accompanied him from Edmonton had deserted him close to the
barren lands. The last part is true, but we are told that Radford
had secured native guides, and is now continuing his investiga
tions.”
Radford spent the winter of 1911-12 along the Trenton river,
across the barren lands, after leaving Fort Resolution. J. Hard
ing, factor for the Hudson's Bay Company at the last-named trad
ing post, on Great Slave lake, brought news to Edmonton last Sep
tember that Radford was alive and well at Trenton river, where he
made investigations. The explorer was seen by fur traders, who
talked with him, and carried his message to the Outside world.
Radford, who is widely known in scientific circles, has as the
object of his expedition to visit the home of the wood bison in the
almost unknown regions of northwestern Canada, west of the Slave
river, and north of the lower Peace river. This expedition started
in 1900 and has included track surveys over many hundreds of
miles, and furnished Radford the opportunity of closely studying
the wood bison in its haunts, and of making the first recorded ob
servations on this rare animal in life.

Fairbanks News-Miner, August 29: What is believed by the peo
pie of Chatanika to have been a cold blooded and contemplated murder,
occuried at the creek city this morning at 7:30 o’clock, one Italian stab
bing another to the heart with a six-inch dagger in the bunkhouse of
Keys & Rettig, Steve Brusasco is the man who now lies cold in death,
while Frank Albino is in the custody of the authorities charged with
his murder. As soon as he did the stabbing, Albino made his escape,
running up Cleary creek, but was later apprehended above Cleary City
at the instance of Matshal L T. Erwin, who ordered his capture, dead
or alive.
Both of the participants of the affair were underground miners,
Brusasco being it) the employ of 1'ony Rckrom &Co., while Albino was
working for Keys & Rettig. Brusasco had also been working for Kejs
& Rettig up until a short time ago, when he left them to go Rckrom &
Co. He was still staying in the same bunkhouse with Keys’ men, it
being there that the trouble commenced last night.
It seems as though the trouble all started over some trivial matter
in the bunkhouse last evening after working hours. A fistic encounter
ensued between the two men, and Brusasco, much the smaller of the
two men, got the better of Albino. Brusasco had determined to go
Outside, and to that end was preparing to move all of his personal ef
fects from the sleeping quartets this morning alter he had his breakfast.
Albino, it seems, never went to breakfast at all, stating that he would
not work today, evidently intending to commit the murder when Bru
sasco should return to the bunkhouse.
Fearing that an attempt on his liie might be made, brusasco asKed
one of his fellow workers to go to the bunkhouse with him after break
fast, stating that Albino would sure kill him if he could. Several men
complied with the request of Brusasco, all going to the bunkhouse
where he collected his effects and started to the door, being met by A',
bir.o, who stabbed him to the heart, killing him instantly.
The people of Chatanika and of Cleary are much incensed over the
killing. Brusasco, the murdered man, was well litiown and respected
by all who knew him, and Albino, also, bore a good reputation among
the workingmen prior to the happening of present events.
Albino was taken into custody by Thomas Rockwell, of the Igloo
hotel and saloon at Cleary City, about an hour after the killing, and
turned over to Commissioner Sam Weiss, who took the man down to
Chatanika and lodged him in jail. Deputy Marshal W. W. Fife was
sent out from town this morning as the representative of Marshal
Erwin. Albino is now in the federal jail._
