Gaynor of New York was the principal witness examined yesterday afternoon before the aldermauie committee created to investigate the police situation which "was brought to a head by the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. He was kept in the wtessl cbajiijfcuf mpre than two hours while a tire of questions was kept up by Attorney E. R.

Buckner, counsel for the aldermanic conmiittee. Three times during his examination he threatened to leave the stand, declaring the hearing Vt be a scaudal-inongering excursion, designed to scandalize him. He said that he had fceguir his efforts to purify the government long before Attorney Buckner, counsel for the committee, yis horn. At no time during his examination would he admit that the police department was inefficient. He expressed renewed confidence in Rhinelander Waldo, commissioner of police, and declared that, if the social evil flourished, it was at least cn the decrease and was a lesser evil than police blackmail, which he had tried to eradicate.

Nine out of every ten questions asked 'by Mr. Buckner remained unan-swered, The major had formed no opinions, he said, and had not come to tell his opinions anyway.

If he were asked about facts or about -any instances wherein the police department had violated the law, he was ready to answer. Four things, he said, he had brought about iu the department: First, he had done away with police "violence and clubbing;" second, he cad forbidden the practice of policemen degrading themselves to get evidence against disorderly hOnses by consorting with immoral women; third, he had insisted on the integrity of the civil or anybody service, so that "Murphy else can't influence ap-j lpointnients; Umrth, ihe had done away with graft in connection with enforcement of the liquor laws. This graft, he said, had amounted to annually. Though the mayor lov-t his temper time and 'again and protested to Mr. Buckner that he was asking foolish questions, the young lawyer kept at his task patiently, unruffled by thi rebuffs.

The crowd which jammed the aldermauie chamber until standing room ouly remained, frequently 'broke into "applause" at the mayor's retorts. "I hope you do not think I am frying to badger you. Mr. remarked Mr. Buckner.

"Oh, I have' to make allowances for your zeal and everything." replied the mayor laconically. "I was young once myself."
