MAYOR ELECTS CITY OFFICIALS.
Men Whom Courts Reinstated Are Out
and New Men Installed.


Philadelphia, May 27. = The bitter
feeling that has been engendered by
the gas lease fight was intensified
yesterday when Mayor Weaver prac-
tlcally elected from the offices of the
departments of public safety and pub
lie works his two former directors
and again installed the men appointed
by him on Tuesday. The action of
the mayor yesterday was the most
sensational move that he has vet
made. The news created considerable
excitement i'll the city hall and on
the political "Rialto,' and nearly all
that were interested assembled in the
vicinity of the mayors Office to learn
the next move. This came quickly.
but from an unexpected quarter-the
state supreme court. While the may
or was ordering his old directors out
of their offices, his attorneys appeared
in the supreme court and obtained
special supersedeas suspending the
temporary injunction granted to the
old directors Wednesday by the coun-
ty court.
Ovation for Mayor Weaver.
Another dramatic incident Of the
day was the great ovation given May
o. Weaver by several thousand per-
sons on his way from the city hall to
the Union League for luncheon. 1t
was sensational demonstration and
was looked upon by those opposed to
the lease as an indication of the trend
of popular sentiment
In the thick Of the fight yesterday
afternoon came the story, but from
where no one appears to know, that
the mayor is to be impeached. For
what particular offense was not clear
ly defined.
The organization leaders say they
continue to stand pat on the gas
lease and that their ranks are solid all
along the line. On the other hand.
Mayor Weaver announced late yes
terday that he had assurances that
the vote in both council chambers
when his veto is considered will be

terday that he would change his vote.
and it is understood that the mayor
has direct promise from several 9TH
ers that they will sustain him.
The situation is daily growing more
tense. in all sections of the city the
reform organizations and the newspa-
pers have aroused citizens to taks a
hand In the fight. The councilmen
who favor the gas lease are having
hard time of 1t. Tney are being
swamped with protests. and delega-
tons OF neighbors are calling on them
at their homes or places OF business,
Or are holding them mp on the streets.

STRIKE GROWS VERY RAPIDLY.
Lumber District of Chicago Is Now
Storm Center Of Strike.


Chicago, May N.-Throughout the
lumber district the Transfers strike
spread yesterday and additional firms
will be drawn into the conflict to-day.
Ten hardwood lumber firms, employ
ng in the aggregate about 100 drivers,
locked out their men yesterday, and
it was asserted that the rest of the
concerns in the same line of business
would take similar action to-day.
Furniture factories and box fac
tories are likely to be involved within
the next two days as the manufacture
ers are acting as a unit in the matter.
With the strike spreading, the ques-
ton of adequate police protection is
becoming more serious. Only 1916 po-
licemen were secured by Chief O'Neil
yesterday in answer to the call issued
for 1,000 volunteers. With that force,
however, the chief said he had been
able to furnish all the protection
asked of the department yesterday,
and ne believed he would be able to
do SO to-day.
Two Sentenced for Contempt
Agents have been sent to the lum.
Der regions of Northern Michigan by
the lumbermen's association to re-
cruit non-union men, and they declare
they will continue doing business in
spite OF the strike. Only city trade is
affected.
Judge Kohlsaat yesterday commit
ted Bernard Mulligan, president of
the Railway Express Drivers union,
and John H. Donahue, member of
the same organization, to Jail for con-
tempt OF court in refusing to answer
certain questions put to them before
Master in Chancery Sherman. He
sentenced both men to Jail, but al
lowed them to remain in nominal Gus
tody of United States Marshal Ames
for five days that their attorneys may
perfect review on habeas corpus
judge.
Shea Clear Of Charge.
President Shea OF the teaN sters'
union was cleared of the charge of
contempt as Judge Kohsaat decided
he had answered all questions put to
him except one, and that one was of
such nature that an answer might
tend to incriminate him in the con-
spiracy charge for which he is now
under Indictment.
There were no conferences yester-
day looking toward a settlement of
the controversy. and the leaders on
both sides declared that they knew of
none to be held at this time. The at
titude of the express companies re-
mains unchanged, and Attorney Levy
Mayer says that there is no use for
further conferences on that point.
There was comparatively little vio-
lence during the day although few
assaults were reported from the lum-
Der district. Mayor Dune issued or
ders to have all the saloons in the
lumber district. where loterers were
permitted 70 assemble, closed while
the strike lasts. This action was de-
cided on after complaints were made
that crowds gathered in front of some
saloons and jeered non-union drivers.
