PAGES I(H. mmukh OVJ 13 PER MONTH NEW YORK FEARS GAYNOR MAY NOT SURVIVE INJURY Wounded Mayor Officially Reported as Resting Easily but Rumors Cause Anxiety WIFE REMAINS AT BEDSIDE Gallagher's Lawyers Prepare to Make Insanity Feature of Case for Defense NEW YORK, Auk. 1: 2:40 Mayor (iiiynor Is resting comfortably. Ills physicians have added nothing to the optimistic statements Issued last night. Presai NIOW YORK.

Aug. Mayor William J. Oaynor may be making satisfactory progress, as his physicians maintained today and tonight, but there is an undercurrent of anxiety tonight that runs contrary to the official bulletins. His surgeons say ho had a satisfactory day; that he Is cheerfull and stronger, is resting quietly and more than holding his own. As opposed to this, those who read the 10:30 bulletin thoughtfully noted references to "complete radiogiaphie" examination, indicating it was necessary to take a second set of negatives in order accurately to tind the position of the bullet.

That an additional set of negatives had been taken had been reported heretofore, but the rumor lacked confirmation. Nothing is said in the bulletin of a bullet, mentioned as indicated in the first pictures; instead, the lead is now said to be lodged in the roof of the mouth. Whether the other shadow, as Indicated in the first picture, Is a splinter of bone, none of the physicians would say. ni.oon of mayor examinkji A sample of the patient's blood was examined carefu'ly this evening and pronounced satisfactory, tile relation of the white and red blood corpuscles having been found normal. Although there are rumors afloat that his physlslans are in the midst of a disagreement, Robert Adamson, his secretary, and Health Commissioner Lederle discredited these statements.

The statement follows: "The surgeons in attendance on the mayor are Dr. William J. Arlits, Dr. George K. Brewer, Dr.

George D. Stewart and Dr. Charles N. Dowd. During their absence on Wednesday afternoon Dr.

Charles H. Peck attended the mayor. The mayor's family physician. Dr. John W.

Parish, also attended him. Xo other surgeons or physicians have at any time been called with the ease. This statement is necessary beoauae of unfounded reports and statements by those pretending to be connected with the mayor's physicians." The patient's irritability this afternoon and the barring of the sick room to all save Mrs. Gaynor and the physicians gave rise to disquieting It was admitted that the mayor had lost temporarily at least, his cheerfulness and had requested that his wife remain near his bedside. Because of soreness of the wounded throat an antiseptic spray was used frequently, and it was at this process that the mayor signs of fretting.

Gallagher, the assassin, in prison In Jersey City, is beginning to lay the groundwork for his defense. It will be insanity. His lawyers and Dr. F. S.

Potter, an alienist, held a conference with him this afternoon. Alexander Himpson of Jersey City, counsel for the prisoner, says he has lnvestlgatel the man's record and finds a basis for a trace of hereditary Insanity. GRAND JURY AWAITS RESULTS JKRSKY CITY, Aug. Court Justice Swayzee charged the Hudson county grand jury today on the attempt to assassinate Mayor Oaynor. He practically told the jury it would be unwise at this time to lake up the matter of indicting Gallagher, for the reason that the entire action hinged on the condition of the mayor.

They placed their loot in a suit case, which they also took from the pawnshop, and left after divesting Perelson of a gold watch and $65 in gold. When he saw the men disappear out the front door, Perelson, being unable to arise, rolled to the front of the store, where he was noticed by a pedestrian, who gave the alarm.

CENTS ALDRICH RESENTS ATTACK MADE BY SENATOR BRISTOW Solon Denies Tariff He Fathered Added to His Pecuniary Benefit TAKES FLING AT INSURGENTS Rhode Islander Declares Rubber Concern in Which He Is Director Not a Trust (Associated Press) "WASHINGTON, Aug. Kelson Aldrlch of Rhode Island, enumerating the counts under which he was indicted by Senator Joseph W. Bristow of Kansas, in recent campaign speeches dealing with the tariff on rubber, in a letter made public tonight, denies the charges in their entirety. Incidentally ho pays his respects in caustic language to Senator Bristow, and what he terms a "little group ot men" who entertain opinions similar to those of the Kansan.

The letter ia addressed to William B. McKinley of Illinois, chairman of the Republican congressional campaign committee, and was sent to the headquarters of the committee in this city. The explanation of rubber duties and the denial of the charges made against him by Senator Bristow are based on the fact that Senator Aldrich was called on by a candidate for congress to furnish the facts connected with the changes in the recent tariff act. Referring to the charges made by- Senator Bristow as "absurd misstatements," Senator Aldrlch said the persistent reiteration of them impelled him to make a full statement. At the outset of his long letter the senator divided the speeches ot' Mr.

Bristow into five parts, each of which contained a specific charge. He then dealt with them in order. INCREASE MADE FOR HARMONY In the first place, the senator declared, the increase from 30 to 35 per cent on a small number of manufactured articles of rubber was for the purpose of making the tariff uniform on kindred articles ami facilitating tho labors of the customs officials. In that conection he made public a letter to him from Gen. Thad S.

Sharrotts, a member of the New York board of general appraisers, asserting tha change was advisable, and had been agreed to unanimously by the senate and house committees and by the conferees on the tariff bill at the earnest solicitation of the tariff experts of the treasury department. Laying particular stress on the charge made by Mr. Bristow, the chairman of the senate finance committee said that "neither he nor any member of his family ever has had any pecuniary interest as to whether the rates on manufactures of rubber were 30, 35 or 300 per cent, or whether crude rubber was on the free or dutiable list." Dealing then with charges that the Tnter-Continental Rubber company, of which he is a director, is a trust; that It advanced the price of crude rubber and controlled the world's supply, and that the company had paid enormous dividends, Mr. Aldrich treated each at great length. TAKES FLING AT BRISTOW Without raising any issue concerning the "progressives" campaign generally, Mr.

Aldrich referred to Mr. Bristow and his immediate associates aa follows: "In the tariff discussions of other days the advocates of the progressive policy usually have been called to meet in debate men with convictions on the subject of character, whose theories of government differed completely from those held by Republican who had some regard for the accuracy of their statements and some knowledge of the subject they discussed. "Now attacks on Republican measures are led by men whose political existence depends upon their capacity to this there seems to be no misrepresentation and the ignorance of their adherents. Strangely enough, this little group of small in number arrogated to itself the leadership of the progressives, and its members prate about the treatment of the tariff as a moral question." J.ETTKR TO CHAIRMAN The letter, in part, follows: "Providence, R. 1., Aug.

10, 1910 "Hon. AVilliam B. McKinley, Chairman Congressional Committee, Wash- ington, D. C.i Dear Mr. have been asked by a Republican candidate for congress in an Illinois district to furnish him the facts with referenoe to changes in the rubber duties in the tariff act of 1909.

"The persistent reiteration of the absurd misstatements of Senator Bristow with reference to the tariff on rubber furnishes such a choice illustration of the nature of the criticisms and the character of certain critics of the tariff act of 1909 that it seems to be desirable that a full statement of the facts should bo made in response to this inquiry. "Senator Bristow's statements were as follows: "1. That the senate committee on finance, of which I was chairman, Increased the duty upon certain manufactures of rub" er from 30 to 35 per cent. "2. That during tho session, or immediately after the adjournment of congress, in connection with others, had organized a gigantic rubber trust, known as the Inter-Continental Rubber company, in which I was a large stockholder and a director.

CONTROLS "3. That this huge rubber trust Immediately advanced largely the price of crude rubber, 'the supply of which it absolutely "4. That this vast rubber monopoly, the Inter-Continental Rubber company, was able, on account of the changes in the tariff referred to. to and did rapidly price of every rubber product, 'from automobile tires to baby rattles. 1 "5.
