MAYOR OUSTEO FROM HEARlHG

Philadelphia. Oct 1S.-John y. Tay-
lor, superintendent Of police. gave start
ling testimony yesterday before the
committee Of seven Select Councilmen,
appointed TO investigate the affairs OF
the various municipal departments or
the city, as conducted by Mayor Weav-
er and his directors.
He said that David j. Smyth, former
Director Of Public Safety, had ordered
him to take care Of repeaters. and told
him TO remove from the ''rogues' gall
lery' photographs of men who We're
Serving on the police force.
The superintendent was pressed so
hard by counsel regarding police m
politics that he became angry, and
said he would tell the whole truth about
the police business. In vain the chais
man tried 20 check him, and threatened
TO eject him, but superintendent Tay-
lor kept right on.
One Of the attorneys said the commit
tee did not want to know anything
about that. but wanted TO know how
the homes of the people were protect
led. ~
'Ill tell you." exclaimed the witness.

lspent three and four years in the peni-
tentiary and whose pictures were
taken from the rogues' gallery by
Director Smyth
Superintendent Taylor's statement
was made despite the vigorous efforts
of Milton c. Work. chairman OF the
icommittee to confine him to the Ques-
ltions propounded by the committees
lattorneys. The committee brought ouI
statements from witnesses that police
linen attended a meeting Of n political
lclub when they should have been or
duty. Mayor Weaver and the City
lparty insist that the police are not ~
politics. while the leaders Of the Repub-
llicau Organization claim the policemen
lare as much in politics now as eve
lthey were.
Another sensation Of the inquisitiol
was the firm and almost forclhlc e2
lpulsion OF Mayor Weaver and three o
his directors from the hearing. Tn
Mayor put IN an appearance and de
lmanded to be permitted TO stay, but n
WAS ordered to get out, and after
