DAUGHTER OF SPANISH KING WILL BE DEAF AND DUMB GAYNOR'S BODY Remarkable Tribute Paid To Dead New York Mayor.

Children Carry Flowers To Lay Beside Coffin. Rich and Poor Vie In Doing Honor To Memory. CHURCHES HOLD SERVICES Xew York, Sent. 21. Undismayed by a heavy downpour in the morning, frequent showers in the afternoon and threatening skies at night, thousands of Xew Yorkers to-day viewed the body of the late Mayor Willfam Jay Gaynor as it lay in state in the rotunda of the city hail.

A never-ending double line, stretching a half mile through the City Hall Park and down lower Broadway, at midnight still was slowly filing past the bier, standing on the spot where the bodies of many famous men have laid in state. Jt is estimated that upward of S0.00O persons had viewed tiie body wiien the city hall was closed at midnight. Llttle children, whose best friend the dead Mayor was, were numerous. Almost all carried small wreaths or bouquets of flowers, which they cast at the foot of the bier. In the line were rich and poor.

laborer in the city's streets in his snow-white uniform, and tne man high in city and State official circles rubbed elbows in an effort to do honor to the dead man. There were thousands of uniforms of the police, lire department and other city departments to be seen in the iine. For the most part, however, the line was made up of the great so-called middle class. There were hundreds of men and women whom the Mayor had befriended, and the pathetic scenes at the side of the bier were many. At 9 o'clock, the police on duty at the city hall estimated that, more than, 75,000 persons had viewed the body.

The line was still forming at a late hour, and Mayor Kline issued an order to keep the rotunda open until 4 o'clock to-morrow morning if necessary so that all who came might pay personalis' their tribute" to the memory of his predecessor. A heavy downpour of rain late tonight, "however, caused the crowd to dwindle rapidly at midnight the police were ordered to close the doors. It was estimated that upward of 80,000 persons had viewed the body. -guard of lionciiv-cHanging "ex-ery half hour, remained 1 at the bier all night, and around the city hall park a cordon of police allowed no one to approach the building. Remarkable Tribute, Says Kline.

'It is a remarkable tribute," Mayor Kline said as he viewed the great, silent crowd. "Xo king, no emperor, ever had a tribute paid to him like this great outpouring of citizens to-day. It is a tribute from ihe hearts of the people." jr All last night the police kept uaru around -Cit. 'Hall park and had difficulty in keeping the crowds moving, as many tried, even at an inordinately early hour, to get in line to view thebody. Three policemen and three firemen in reliefs of a half-hour stood rigidly at attention during the night beside the coffin.

The casket was draped in the staz's and stripes and the Mayor's flag. -while beneath could be seen the colors of the union jack placed there at the request of the Gaynor family in recognition of the courtesy extended bv the city of Liverpool 'upon the arrival of the Mayor's body in that ci.ty after his death at sea.

The bier rests on tiie same spot where the bodies of many famous men have lain in state. The last was that of Gov. George Clinton, whose body after resting in the grave for many years was removed to another cemetery and remained for an hour in the city hall. Other noted men whose, biers have rested beneath the dome of the hall were Abraham Lincoln, Gen. Grant, Horace Greeley and Gen.

Jose. A. Paez, President oif "Venezuela. Many Pathetic Incidents. Pathetic incidents were numerous during the day as men and women whom, the late Mayor had befriended looked upon his face.

Among these was a Brooklyn youth, whose part Mayor Gaynor took when it was alleged he was being persecuted by the police and which resulted in an investigation and also the removal of the boy's picture from the rogues' gallery. An old lads' was heard to murmur: "God rest his soul," as she paused beside the" coffin. She explained that Mayor Gaynor's order closing the saloons at 1 o'clock had saved her bov from evil companions with whom he loafed in these places. Two aged women, who hobbled into the citv hall on crutches, delayed the movement of the line several seconds as they said a prayer. The first person to pass the bier was a German baker who had taken bis place at -he doors after quitting work several hours previously.

Closely following him were several Chinamen and later in the day several Japanese. Therewere a few organized bodies in, line, the most consplcious being two squads of boy scouts. While the journeyed downtown to pay their respects in person, thousands of others attended memorial services In many churches all parts of the city. Flowers Fill Rotunda.

Takes More Than Passive Interest In Events. WATCHING CHURCH ISSUE Mexico City, Sept. 21 "Xot only would It be an anomaly that the Government should have a candidate, but it can be further said that the Government has no predilection for nor will it aid any candidate." In words Provisional President Huerta to-day replied to the question as to whether he favored a candidate in the coming presidential elections. The interrogation was prompted by the speculation, which has been freely Indulged, that Gen. Huerta intended to throw his support to this or that man for the presidency to succeed himself.

President Huerta received the newspaper men at Popotla, a suburb, where he is erecting a residence and where for the most part he resides. He explained the attitude which the administration will maintain, especially in the present circumstances, "as one of absolute impartialty," and added that It would only take precautions to prevent any disturbance of public peace and order, and would suppress any effort in that direction. May Use Army At Elections. The President said he would use the army if necessary to keep order, but pointed out that the army in such event could not be said to be discharging- a duty imposed by politics, but would be acting solely for the maintenance of Democratic institutions. "1 want to declare once for all in the face of the whole nation," said Gen.

Huerta, "that I shall comply with the obligations I have assumed. These have for their basis peace and the security of the republic, leaving always complete freedom to the divers political parties to launch candidacies and do their work toward carrying to a happv conclusion their ideals, without aid or impediment from the The Catholic party held its convention behind closed doors late to-day. It adjourned until to-morrow without Government Interested. The United States Government is taking more than a passive interest in the developments in Mexico City during the last few days, chief among which lias been the defiant opposition by a majority of "the Mexican Congress' to the appointment of Eduardo Tamariz, one of the leaders of the Catholic party, to the Ministry of Public Instruction. The opening of a fight by the Liberals to repress the influence of the Catholic party in governmental affairs is looked upon here as likely to force a crisis as to reawaken an issue, bitterly fought from time to time, on the life of the Southern republic.

Constitutionalists here declare the Mexican people would never brook a return oi ihe emirch to a share in and thev view the proposal of Huerta to place Tamariz in the Department of Public Instruction as virtually turning over the educational system of tiie country to ihe clergy.

It is believed that such a fight would tend more than anvthing else to unite the Liberals in ihe choice of a man who might prove acceptable to the Constitutionalists and who might, in the end, make such concessions, if elected, as would restore peace.

Administration officials licre regarded the statement made to-day by Provisional President Huerta to newspaper men in Mexico Citv that it "would be an anomaly for the" Government to have a candidate" as tantamount to a declaration that he would not be a candidate In the coming elections.

Will Have To Fight Currency Opposition In Senate. Expected To Urge Immediate Action On Measure. Wo Vacation of Over Three Days For House. TARIFF NEARLY FINISHED Washington. Sept.

21. The strongest test of President Wilson's control over Democratic party policies and the legislative performances of Congress is about to pecur. Within the last week he has seen his currency reform demands triumph in the House, and the practical completion of the Tariff Revision Bill so far as Administration ideas are concerned. The question now paramount In' congressional circles bears directly upon the President's potential control of the currency situation in the Senate. Except for those immediately connected with the handling of the bill, the general query is: Will the President be able to Induce the Senate to act on the Glass-Owen Bill without delay and without material alter ation of its -So' doubt remains of the determined purpose of the President to urge Congress, by every legitimate means at his command, to complete the currency legislation within the next few weeks, and to give tiie country a new banking system and a.

revised form of paper currency before December. Influence Shown In Senate, Evidences of his concern in the matter have come in a series of events in which his inlluence has determined the action of congressional leaders. Over a week ago. after a conference with Mr. Wilson, Democratic members of the Senate Committee announced that consideration of currency reform would be pushed without delay and that there would be no Senate recess.

A growing demand in the House for a month's recess to be introduced this week ulminated a few days ago when Repre sentative A. Mitchell Palmer, one of the Democratic House leaders, after a talk with President Wilson, announced that the House would not recess for more than three days at a time; but would remain close at hand where its influence could be exerted on the Senate, if desirable, to speed, lip- "body's work on the. rency Bill. The President has gone further in his activity in behalf of the Currency Bill and talked at length individual members of the Senate Banking and Currency-Committee who had been strong critics of The Administration measure. tli the aid of Secretary McAdoo, who helped In the original drafting of the bill, it is understood he will attempt to satisfy the critics and will endeavor to bring the Democratic forces into united support of the plan embodied in the bill.

Senators Markedly Independent. Thus far there has been marked independence of expression among Democratic Senators engaged in work on the Currency Bill as to important points of currency legislation. The public hearings reopened iast week arc still under way and will continue through part of this week. The sc.uul committee work on the bill probably wi'd oegiu late this week, and will develop for the first time the real strength of the committee support of. the President's plan for immediate indorsement of the bill.

There is apparency no spirit of antagonism to currency legislation among the leaders of either party in the Senate, but the wide differences of opinoln a to the best mcti'o-; of the banking and currency system will bring the test of strength In which Senate leaders expect President Wilson's influence will be brought into the situation. A striking feature of the situation In the Senate tha; the vote of one Democratic members of the Banking and Currency Committee would be sufficient to prevent the Committee from favorably reporting t.e Then- are seven Democrats and five Republicans on the committee The Republicans almost with one exception have expressed the belief that a thorough study currency reform needs and the careful preparation of a bill to enact a rew system would require more time the committee' could give during the preteirt session. No Time Needed. Suys Owen. Chairman Owen and one or two other Democrats on tne committee have in the list few days declared they believed Senators, who have been studying the question, have at hand all the information necessary for immediate consideration of the Currency Bill, and that no good could be accomplished through further delay.

This position, it ia understood, reflects the Administration view, and will be backed up by the argument that the Currency Bin will be subject to free and unlimited debate when it reaches -the Senate. The President's friends insist there wJll be no more serjous hiich in the currency programme, and legislation will be enacted by the latter part of November. Jn the meantime both houses will enjoy what vacation they can get through three-day recesses while the Senate committee members work on the currency problem. The House and benate conferees who are adjusting differences In the Tariff Bill will resume work to-morrow In the hope that the completed report cmi be brought back to both houses by Thursday or Friday- Some of the more important controversies have not been settled, and the conferees still have before them practically all of the amendments to the income' tax section, the Clarke cotton futures tax amendment and the amendment to administrative sections of the bill. Mutual concessions ay uolu nouses on a few of the more important items, however, would carry with them the settlement of many of the lesser problems, and members oi uie re connaent of completing the work by Thursday.

He-publican conferees, who tnus far have been uaneu un.ta, will be invited to consider compWte.l bill, and a report will be made to eJc.i UnS anticipated that a fight will be made In each branch of Congress over the acceptance of the report, but little deiav ts expected.

The identity of the perpetrator of lhe brutal murder of Anna Catharine Schumacher in Holy Sepuleher cemetery in Rochester, X.

August 7, 11)09, was established here late last night, it. is believed, when, according to Capt. Cameron, of tiic Philadelphia detective bureau, Jacob Woifsohn, arrested for larceny, confessed to having committed the crime. The murder was a sensational one and, despite the extraordinary efforts of the authorities, no clew was ever found to the identity of the murderer. After Wolfsohn's arrest guards noticed that iie constantly paced his cell and seemed to have something on his mind.

Finally, according to the detectives, the prisoner asked for pencil and paper and wrote a note to the District Attorney containing the simple statement that he had killed a girl in a cemetery at Rochester and thai her name was Schumacher. Under questioning by Capt. Cameron and two other detectives he collapsed. Later he recovered sulficiently to make his alleged confession, which, as repealed by the-detectives, is substantially as follows: Saw Girl At Grave. Woifsohn said he passed the cemetery every day on his way home and several times noticed the girl placing flowers on a grave.

"I flirted with her and she smiled back at me," Woifsohn confessed, according to the detectives. "The next day I saw her and spoke to her. We agreed see eacli other there the next day. She kept her appointment. 1 tried to kiss her, but she resented ihis and tried to run away.

After the murder, he told the detectives, he went to Xew York, where lie married Miss Ida Bermen. She obtained a divorce last -May.

Woifsohn said, and shortly afterward he came to Philadelphia. According to the authorities, Woifsohn was arrested on complaint of the manager of a company by which he was employed as a window cleaner on a charge of stealing. Capt. C'inieron notified the Rochester authorities, and this afternoon received notice that Sheriff Hamill and District Attorney Barrett will arrive to-morrpw. The startling stoiy told by Woifsohn, Capt.

Cameron said, led him to have two police surgeons examine the prisoner, and they reported that the man appeared to be mentally sound. Woifsohn to-night attempted to commit suicide his cell at the city hall, according to a report from police headquarters. He was discovered tearing his clothing into strips by the turnkey, and when his cell was searched an improvised rope was discovered. The prisoner has been placed under a close watch.

Little Credence Given To "Confe.ssion" of WollVohii. Rochester. X. Sept. 21.

Police officials here are not deeply impressed by tne declaration of Jaeob Woifsohn in Philadelphia that he murdered Anna Schumacher. 1 lowjever, Sheriff Haiiey Hamii and District Attorney John W.
