THE PHILADELPHIA. INQUIRER, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 1905 Mackin is urged by the resolutions to sustain Mayor Weaver's appointment of Directors Acker and Potter. Addresses were delivered at the gathering by Dr. George H. Kobler, Robert C.

Dillon, Max Shenner, John J- Fleming and Isadore Stern. STKMBKIB6E i fcCIQTHIEl FIGHT AGAINST NEW DIRECTORS IS WITHDRAWN Continued From FirstPage REFORMERS PLAN FOR THE FUTURE Meetings of Committees of Nine and Seventy and the City Party Will Be Closed at One O'Clock To-day The Store Our 1905 Rose when asked yesterday, where the. money was to come from to take back the lease intimated that the money could be put up by private citizens who would take a lien on the receipts of the works. His idea is that if the works were put in charge of a commission appointed py the Board of Judges the receipts I would more than pay the interest and principal invested in a few years. "The U.

G. I. has taught us how the works should be run," said Mr. Crothers, "and operated under a commission along those lines they should be a paying investment." The indications are that a flood -of schemes of all sorts are to be poured into Councils. No one in the present "situation will venture any definite plan for the solution of the city's financial problems.

It is generally believed that steps will be. taken for the preparation of a loan bill to meet present necessities. How interest and sinking fund provision for the loan is to be made from the $1.50 tax rate has ndt been shown.

West Store, Second Floor MAYOR HAS -GAS VETO MESSAGE PREPARED That the Mayor intends to be prepared for any contingency that may arise in Councils' attitude on the gas lease ordinance on Thursday, was apparent yesterday, when he said he had prepared a veto message on the subject to be used if necessary. He made that statement in answer to a query as to whether he had not taken such a step.

"Suppose Councils meet on Thursday," he was asked "and adjourn in two minutes, and fails to pass a resolution to recall the gas lease ordinance, what would happen?" "I shall be ready even if they meet only two seconds," said the Mayor- There, no possibility that Councils contemplates any such evasive steps. The ordinance, it is reported, will simply be recalled from the Mayor and sent to committee to die. The gas company has withdrawn its bid and there wi ouid.be nothing to be gained in forcing the bill through by trickery.

of Supplies, and Oscar Noll, the Assistant Highway Inspector, who was the first to be disciplined by the Mayor, were among ohers who talked with Mr. Durham during the day. It was Mr. Morrow who telephoned the Mayor's office while a delegation of in dependent citizens- of that ward were addressing the Mayor, that the Council-men, Sherwood and Gillingham, of that ward, would vote for the confirmation of the Mayor's appointments. The Injunction Proceedings While it is understood that the injunction proceedings in Court of Common Pleas No.

5 will not be pressed, it is be lieved that it has not been definitely de cided what course is to be pursued by the attorneys for the Messrs. Smyth and Cos- gUo in withdrawing the case. Counsellor A. S. L.

Shields, after leaving Senator Penrose's office yesterday afternoon, said he was not prepared to make any statement, but that probably he would be able to say something on the subject to day Mr. Durham spent some time with Senator Penrose at his office in the Ar cade Building, where Senator James P. McNichol was also closeted with the Senator during part of the afternoon, i a. uir j. 1.

l-ffV tic City, where he expects to remain un til to-morrow. From all reports received from the sev eral wards there is no sign of any break in the lines of the organization. The announcement that the police are to be kept out of politics will certainly not be pleasing to those who hoped to use the patronage of the Weaver administration to build up a political machine antagonistic to the present Kepublican organization in this city. Senator Penrose had among his callers vesterdav a number of active Kepubli cans from the interior of the state, but he said there was no particular significance in these calls. It is known that several of the delegations were in the interest of applicants lor appointments uiiuer tne time uumiu istration.

Senatnr Penrose eoes to Washington to-dav and will there take up the case of the employes of the arsenal in this city who were recently dismissed alter appear ing as witnesses in court-martial pro ceedings. Folk Telegraphs Weaver Mayor eaver yesterday received a telegram from Governor Folk, of Missouri, congratulating him on his stand in the gas fight and urging him to keep up the contest. Prominent among Director of Public orks Acker callers yesterday morning was ex-senator Uavm un nis leaving the office both he and Director Acker said the visit had no political bearing. Mr. had previously been in conference with Insurance Commissioner Durham and Select Councilman Charles Seger.

The three met on the street and had a brief talk. Director Acker received calls from Chief Brooks, of the Bureau of Highways, and Chief Sutcliffe, of the Street Cleaning COUNCILMEN GIVE MAYOR ASSURANCES OF SUPPORT It was 'Councilman's hour" practically all day yesterday at the Mayor's office, for the JegUlators- came and went throughout the rooming v. and afternoon. Most of them, as they emerged from the office, said they had assured the Mayor they would support his appointments to the two directorships he filled lart week. Prominent among the callers upon the Mayor was Recorder of Deeds William S.

Vare, who promised him that the Coun-cilmanic delegation from his section of the city would stand by his appointments Incidentally the Mayor informed Mr. Vare he had signed the' contract for the South Philadelphia Manual Training School, in which the Vares aDd all South Philadelphia have been so deeply interested. Others seen calling on the Mayor were: Select Councilmen Washington D. Upper-man, George Edwards, Joseph M. Adams, George W.

Kucker, Joseph H. Brown, Samuel R. Stinger, Alexander Crow, W. J. Crawford, Louis Hult, Walter T.

Sykes, Samuel Crothers, William Boal and Eli B. Hallowell. Common Councilmen Jacob Seeds and James R. Oram, Magistrate Thomas South, John R. McLean, Senator Gransbach.

Nearly all of the Select Councilmen said they had assured the Mayor they will stand by his appointments of Directors Potter and Acker. Superintendent McKentv, of the House of Correction, called on the Mayor in regard to the gas plant there, which he fears may be put out of business by the new company about to be started in that section. The Mayor remained at his office until late in the afternoon, going over bills passed at the last meeting of Councils and requiring his action before Councils meet on Thursday. These included some very important measures. POLICE ORDERED OUT OF POLITICS Orders were read over the desk in ev ery police station at six o'clock last night notifying patrolmen and sergeants that hereafter they must keep out of politics.

The instructions were given in the most positive terms. The men were not only informed that they must not belong to any" executive but that they should not attempt in any way to influence elections, and that they need not contribute to campaign funds. must keep away from ward and division leaders," the men were told. their influence will not count in your be half, and you cannot help them. You must remain neutral in political matters." These orders followed a conference at City Hall in the morning between Superintendent of Police John Taylor and the lieutenants and captains.

The conference was held behind closed, doore. Superintendent Taylor, it is said, acting on di rect instructions from Director Potter, in formed the lieutenants that the police were to be absolutely taken out of politics and the orders were to bdf-issued at once. The word was eiven to the rank and file at 6 P. M. and was repeated at mid night to the other squad.

ot the patrolmen expressed themselves as well pleased with the order. "If they mean it we will onlv he too delighted to confine our attention exclusively to police business," eaid a patrolman. "I think the men will generally obev tne oraer. Big Crowd But No Meeting A large crowd gathered at Forty-ninth street and" Baltimore avenue last night to attend a meeting which, it had been ad vertised, was to be held under reform auspices. The crowd waited until after 9 o'clock, no one came to address it.

A search was made, but no one was found who could offer an explanation for the bogus meeting. Fifth Warders In Session Several hundred residents of the Fifth ward gathered in the hall at the northeast corner of Fifth and Pine streets last night and rmssed resolutions commending Mayor Weaver for his fieht aeainst the gas lease. The same resolutions con demned the Councilman of the ward for voting -for-the lease. Select- Councilman An Independent to' Be Named Fight Local Ticket for the Fall Meetings were held yesterday and last night by the Committee of Nine (appointed as a result of the original anti-gas lease town meeting), the Committee of Seventy and the City Party. The Committee of Nine, after a discus sion of the situation, passed the follow ing resolution: Resolved.

That the Committee of Nine Is committed to the work begun by commission of town meeting so long as it can be of to his Honor the Mayor of Philadelphia in the work of restoring representative American government In Philadelphia. John H. Converse. Clarence L. Harper.

William W. Justice. Mahlon N. Kline. William Potter.

William T. Tilden. John C. Winston. Charles Wood.

D. Francis R. Reeves, chairman. It is under the direction of this group of men that the fund of $1,250,000 suggested by W. W.

Justice is to be raised. While Mr. Harper said he was not in a position to give figures, the contributions were coming in at a gratifying rate. The Seventy's Meeting The meeting of the Committee of Seventy was the first session of the full organization since the agitation began. There' was a general discussion of the political outlook, and the committee framed a declaration of principles as follows: In this supreme hour of victory over the forces of greed, the Committee of Seventy tenders to Hon.

John Weaver. Mayor of Philadelphia, the heartfelt acknowledgments of a grateful constituency. We pledge him and his directors our unfaltering support in the work of administrative reform which now lies before them. To our faint-hearted citizens who thought pur conditions past relief we point to the fact that one trumpet note of popular disfavor has set the great political structure of selfishness and corruption tottering and ready to fall. This committee, actuated by no political aspirations, having for its sole object the well being of our beloved city, and being vastly encouraged in its work by the resolute conduct and avowed purposes of the.

Mayor, now pledges its best efforts to the promotion of the following objects: 1. The election of the people's choice for Sheriff in November. 2. The election of another honest and courageous Mayor to succeed John Weaver. 8.

The election of Councilmen truly representing the people. 4- Purging of the assessors lists. 5. The absolute divorce of the police from politics. 6.

Personal registration of voters for the cities of the Commonwealth. 7. The enforcement, in good faith, of civil service rules. 8 The exclusion of Councilmen from any other office. 9.

The repeal of the iniquitous amendment to the Bullitt bill whereby the Mayor is to be shorn of the very power to which the people have just appealed with such glorious results. Will Welcome Alliance This committee will welcome any honorable alliance for the promotion of honest city gov-renment. The committee, however, wishes the public to know that it will not suffer any group ef politicians to control its action and will not stand sponsor for any exchange of political bosses. Always reserving 'on behalf of its members their claim of loyalty to their respective national parties on national issues, nevertheless until the above named municipal policies are adopted by such parties in Philadelphia, this committee will advocate and assist by all means in its power an independent city ticket. This committee -warxisita members and.

its friends against the-common" failure of re-J form movements through growth of Jealousy and suspicions of: motives. Let us be charitable in our judgments and rendv to cariHfir prejudice for the common cause. Resolved. That the committee approves the continued organization of the City Party under the rules which have been submitted to us. Resolved, further, that copies of these resolutions be given to the Mayor of the city and the, representatives the press.

A long report was presented by Secretary Thomas Raebnrn White, reviewing the work done by the committee. It told of the fight against the so-called "ripper1 and among other things, said: "It should be remembered, however, that this law does not go into effect until the expiration of the term of Mayor Weaver, so that it will be possible to have it repealed before it ever becomes operative, provided public sentiment can be sufficiently influenced to bring this about. At the proper time it is suggested that this matter be taken up and urged by this committee." Rales Made Pnblie The report gave in detail the story of the fight on the gas lease. In conclusion the report said: The political situation is more hopeful than it has been for years past. The administration of the city government, including the Police Department, is now in the hands of persons not affiliated with the existing "Republican" organization.

We believe there will be a fair election next fall for the first time in many years, and as a result of it the candidates of the City Party will be elected. The immediate work in preparation for this campaign is the thorough organization of the eltv. which is now under way. The executive board, and more particularly the executive officers, have co-operated with a committee appointed by a city convention of the City Party for the purpose of perfecting rules under which the organization of the City Party should take place. These rules are now substantially complete and provide among other things that "all actions taken by the City Party or any of its conventions or committees shall be subject to the approval, or annulment of the Committee of Seventy." This rule is subject to a resolution which provides "that it is the sense of this convention that it would be inexpedient for action to be taken under Rule 7.

except for overpowering cause." These rules also provide that there shall be a joint Finance Committee, consisting of five persons appointed by the City Party and five persons appointed by the Committee of Seventy, who shall have exclusive charge of the raising of funds. It is not expected that there will be occasion for active interference on the part of the Committee of Seventy with the work of the City Party, but it was thought best by the convention to incorporate the rule which has been referred to. so as to make it clear that the Committee of Seventy and the City Party stand together and to prevent the possibility of having ward or city conventions dominated by elements hostile to the cause of reform. This rule makes it uossible for action In such convention ot committee to be set aside and the mere faot that the power exists will, it is believed, prevent any efforts to capture any committees or conventions by persons hostile to our cause. The Joint Finance Committee Is provided in order to obviate the difficulty which so naturally arises from navig appeals for funds go out from two sources.

COUNCILMEN HAVE ALL SORTS OF PLANS The idea of having a big parade on Thursday in celebration of the defeat pi the gas lease will probably not be carried out. A resolution to have such a demonstration was offered at the meeting of tne Committee of Seventy yesterday. It was referred to a committee, which was generally taken to mean that the project IS Q63.Q. Until the announcement was made that there was to be no opposition to the confirmation of the new Directors an effort was still being made to have a general gathering at City Hall when Councils meet on Thursday. Organized effort in that direction will probably cease.

It is however, likely that curiosity will draw a large crowd to Councils' chamber, but as the cause of friction is removed there is no fear of any disturbance of the peace. Mayor Weaver said yesterday that his veto of the U. G. I. ordinance was already written.

It is probable, however, that if Councils pass a resolution recalling the ordinance from his hands the veto will not see the light of day. Councilmen Brown and. Crothers are still talking about the taking back of the gas works in 1907, the establishment of a municipal electric light plant and similar Bubiect.

MAYOR TALKS SERIOUSLY TO 26TH'S DELEGATION A delegation of Twenty-sixth ward citi zens called on the Mayor at his office yesterday afternoon to congratulate him on his gas lease fight and to pledge their support to him. The delegation was heads ed by Herbert M.

Boyer, chairman of the Twenty-sixth Ward Citizens' Improvement Association, which the delegation repre sented. Frank B. Stockley, a lawyer, was spokes man. The delegation was received in the Mayor's private office. Mr.

Stockley addressing the Mayor, said: At a meeting of citizens of the Twenty-sixth ward, held on Saturday night, which was originally intended for the purpose of arranging a monster demonstration in opposition to the gas lease extension, but which demonstration it was thought advisable to call off after it be came known that the United Gas Improvement Company had withdrawn Its proposition, a per manent organization was effected under the name of the "Twenty-sixth" Ward Citizens' As sociation At that meeting a resolution commending your attitude upon the gas lease Question, and pledg ing you the support of this association in the existing situation, was unanimously adopted and this committee was appointed to wait upon you and acquaint you with the action of that meeting. Our association is composed of representative business men of the ward, irrespective of po litical complexion. Republicans. Democrat and Prohibitionists are alike welcome to its membership, provided they are men who consider the duties of good citizenship superior to their allegiance to a political organization. We have organized, for the purpose of encouraging and promoting honest, clean and efficient ad ministration of public affairs, and for the purpose of exercising a supervision and watch fulness over the political and civic matters per tainlng to the ward.

When Mr. Stockley had finished, the Aiayor said: "I am very grateful to you for coming here to-day. It seems to me, as I said yesterday in church, that the people are giving me too much praise. This was a fight of the people and to them belongs the praise. 1 have just received informa tion that Councilmen McAvoy and Sherwood have pledged themselves to go along with the Mayor.

"Too late," said several of the delega tion. "Well, it is at least opportune," con tinued the Mavor. "I have said to every Councilman that has come to me, 'I don't desire you to vote with me or tor me. If your con science approves what you have done, that is all I can "All I care to do is to disenthrall every Councilman. I want to enfranchise them and the people "As you say, we have suffered this too long.

It was high time we struck down the gigantic eas steal, "It seems as if the hand of Providence was in this movement, otherwise it would have been impossible to do what has been done. L.et us starld together and Dut Phil adelphia as she ought to be, at the very forefront of American municipalities." The Mayor's remarks were cheered and applauded. then shook hands with eery of the MAYOR TALKS ON FINANCING OF CITY Mayor Weaver yesterday afternoon de clared that there was no immediate ne cessitjr for floating a loan or increasing the tax rate to provide money for public improvements. "A judicious economy in tne conduct of the city affairs, he said, should turnish all the necessary monev for these purposes. He also said there was no reason why the abolishing of the grade crossings should not be started in a few months, as there is already ouu set asiae xor tne purpose.

The Mayor advanced these thoughts in an interview given to newspaper men at tne conclusion ot the visitation he received from a delegation of Twenty-eixth ward citizens to pledge their support in his stand. The Mayor was asked whether, in view of the defeat of the gas lease proposal ana tne taiiure ot the citv to get for immediate uses, he had given any consideration to the proposition of financing the city. He replied: "I have given the question much consideration for many months. We have now $1,900,000 for grade crossings and there is no reason why the work should not be underway in a few months." "WH a loan be necessary to make the contemplated public improvements?" "I don't see why at this time there is any need of a loan. By exercising judicious economy, and there are manv ways which the city expenses can be reduced, we ought to be able to get along without increasing the city's tax rate one penny.

MINISTERS LAVISH PRAISE ON MAYOR At the meetings of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal and Baptist ministers' meetings yesterday morning resolutions were adopted praising Mayor Weaver for the stand he took in regard to the proposed extension of the gas lease. Copies of these three resolutions will be sent to the Mayor. At the meeting of the Presbyterian Ministerial Association Rev. W. Y.

Brown ascribed the action of the Mayor to the prayers offered in his behalf in the churches of the city. "We have prayed long and earnestly that the Lord would give Mayor John Weaver more backbone all the clergymen of the city have lifted their voices in like supplication and our prayers have been answered," was the way Rev. A. Y- Brown expressed it. Among those who praised the Mayor at the meeting of Baptist ministers.

was Rev. Samuel Dean, the pastor of the Lehigh Avenue Baptist Church, who recently bitterly denounced the Mayor. There was some dispute as to the wording of the resolutions passed by the Methodist ministers, and there were several changes made before they were finally agreed upon. Germantown Citizens Indorse Mayor Resolutions were passed indorsing the Mayor at an open air meeting of the City Party of the Fifteenth division of the Twenty-second ward at Sprague 6treet and Chelten avenue last night. The speakers were Franklin S.

Edmonds, J. E. Cope, and Frank Leake. They approved of the Mayor's action against the gas lease and pledged themselves to stand by any organization that may be formed in opposition to the Republican party in Philadelphia. Open-Mr Meeting Up-Town An open-air meeting attended by several hundred residents of the Twenty-eighth ward was held at Twenty-first and Dauphin streets last night.

Addresses were delivered by John S. Short, Rev. C. Lee Gaul, W. B.

Simmington and R. M. Fry. Resolutions praising Mayor Weaver for the position ne took in regard to the gas lease were passed. Most of the speeches were of a political nature and were di rected against present leaders of the Republican party.
