New York, Feb. S.-In a quiet, sys- tematic way. Mayor Gaynor has in serted a probe into the inner workings of New Yorks police department and the system within the department, and it is likely that the result of his work will be the severest shake-up the department has ever known.
 Honest policemen, who are servants of the people. shall stay on the force, receive promotion and protection; dis honest policemen, grafters and brutal policemen must go. and go for good Civil service cannot held them"
 That. in effect, is the Mayors ulti- matum. In a statement issued to the public last night, Mayor Gaynor re- Quested all his friends and all who wished to see him, to remain away from his office for two weeks at least. He declared he had important work to do and wanted to be undisturbed. That work. it Is known. is the inves- tigation of the police department.
 ''When I am through with this in- vestigat:on the public will hear from me-" said the Mayor today.
 Dozens of clubbing cases have come

 Then turning to Kennedy, who stood before the court embarrassed and con fused, Judge Curtis said:
 'This act was highly improper on your part, Mr. Kennedy"
 The letter was dated Waterbury, Feb. 4, and is unsigned. The writer is thought to be one of Joe Mitchell's bosom pals, of whom he is reported to have many in Waterbury. Nauga- tuck and Union City. It read:
 'I am very sorry for you but I have to shoot you. If I don't shoot you then you will shoot me. You have two days yet to live. After that I will have to kill you.
 '"Take all the fault yourself, after that we will help you. If not. do not forget I have to shoot you. Tell that you killed Kulvinskas, then we will do nothing to you, but if you are going to say that Joe Mitchell did the kill ing, then I will shoot you. Kulvinskas promised us he would not say he was killed differently. You have to say, Sophia Kritchman, you killed him. We will watch you every day and you will not live very long,"

The word has been passed round that Hon. Matthew H. Rogers, Secre- tary of State. will not be chairman of the Republican Town committee for another year. The present tip. which seems to be from the top, is that there will be no disagreeable contest, with rancoreus debate. Far contrary MT Rogers will withdraw because the bur dens of office have grown heavy, and he would not bear them longer
 This is admitted to be very forum ate. If it should be otherwise there would be difficulties galore The dele gates to the last convention, which is still in being, while they are willing that MT. Rogers should be fatigued with his duties as head of the Repub Hcan organization, and doubly willing that he should retire, are very reluc- tant to have him stay, so reluctant in fact. that an influence not in the possession of the "Old Guard'' would be necessary to get them to vote him Town chairman again.
 His successor, the legitimate candi- date of the "Old Guard", and the man who upon the face of the returns has the best chance of succeeding. is Cor oner Clifford B. Wilson, who has faith

BLACK HAND IN
 SECRET MURDER
POLICE BELIEVE MAN WAS LURED- FROM PITTSBURG TO
 NEW YORK TO BE SLAIN.
Especial from United Press }

(SpcC1aI rom United ProSS,)
 New York, Feb. 8.-Members of bureau are working hard to unravel a mysterious murder which took place early today and in it detectives see evidences of the work of a secret society.
 Early today James Johnson, night watchman, had his attention attract ed by the peculiar actions of three men passing along 14th street, going eastward from Third avenue. One man in the center appeared terrified and the other two held him by the shoulders and forced him along.
 'I Just thought I would follow" declared Johnson to the police, "and l trailed half a block behind. They turned off 14th street into First ave- rue. As I reached the corner I saw the. man on the street side take d big revolver out of his pocket and press it against the other mans head and fire. The middle man toppled over and as he did so, the man fired again, the bullet going through his body. The men then ran."
 Police took the body to the station house and found the dead man to be apparently an Italian. His clothing bore tags of g. Pittsburg firm In She of his pockets was found a letter head on which was the name 'An- LoLIO De GreSOrla, lOO6 Lincoln ave- rue. Pittsburg." It carried the in- scription:
 Shoes made to order a speciality, cigars and candy" There was also vulgar verse in Italian.
 The police are inclined to see some connection between the killing of this man and the recent convictions of the members of the Order of the Banana in Ohio. They declare that they have reason to believe the man was decoyed to this city from Pittsburg in order to be slain and they think that an oathbound society was re- sponsible for the ki1ling

errand to send a committee before the board of apportionment. He rec1t- ed the history of previous years. How everything had been done possible to put obstacles in the way of aldermen who had striven to right the wrong that had been done the city.
 He said: '"There is little doubt in my mind but that the appropriation would have been loft off the list a year ago if someone had not, by keen manipu- lation. got it on to the preliminary list. Once it was on the list an adjourn ment was taken, and as it required as many votes to take it off the list as it did to put it on, there were enough votes there to defeat the project when it came up again.
 we should put a stop to the Hy- draulic Co. getting SIP, 800 a year that it is not entitled to under it's charter. Its charter is what it should live un- der.
 CT don't want to say that any of the members Of this body have been in terested or influenced into changing their minds on this project. But 1t seems peculiar to me that there should be this opposition here tonight after Aldermen have voted for this for the past three years. If thing was rlght last year, it is right this year. l can only say to those who seem to nave changed their minds: Be true to the people who elected you and oppose this propositiOn.''
 Alderman Primrose said: "It is all right to talk about saving $12.50O Those who want to do this could have saved $23,O00 when they voted for the firemen's pay increase"
 Alderman H. H. Jackson said that when he became an Alderman he didn't think he would get sensitive but as Alderman McMurray had hint ed that influence had been brought to bear, he wanted to state that he did not admit any influence from any source.
 Alderman McMurray said that he meant nothing personal. The vote was taken with the result that the Jackson pro-water contract minority report was defeated, and the major ity report raising the committee was sustained.

fsneciaI from United Press.)

Stockholm, Feb. S.-An official bull etin issued today by the physicians in attendance upon King Gustav, who was operated on for appendicitis, an- rOunces that the Kings condition was satisfactory and he was showing every sign of a recovery. Gustav, whose illness was only of 36 hours duration, is 5 years old and as he is a man of robust health the physi- clans anticipate no untoward develop mentS.
 News of the sudden and unexpect- ed illness of the King, which made the operation necessary, has thrown the people into conSternation, and, despite the assurances of the physi- clans, services are being held in many of the churches to pray for Gustav s safety. The palace is deluged with inuuiries as to the Royal patients s condition. Nothing could better show the affection felt for the ruler than the anxiety of the people.
 The King has slept several hours since the operation.

Then came the cases of two policemen who were transferred to beats further removed from their homes the day after they arrested several saloonists for keeping open Sunday. The Investigation of their transfer showed that there had been several hundred similar transfers. Gaynor. aroused, started an immediate investiga ton.
 New York policemen have, in the past, taken to themselves the dictator ial power of a Russian Cossack. it has been charged. Smashing in doors and clubbing of citizens was a daily occur renee.
 As a result. Mayor Gaynor has had charges preferred against more than a score of policemen and hardly a day passes that some New York policeman is not ''broken'' for brutally clubbing a citizen.
 Charges of graft in the department have Teen frequent and the Mayor is probing them.
 Tammany Hall is in an uproar as a result of Mayor Gaynor's actions. The police department. it has always been charged has been a valuable asset to Tammany, and as Gaynor was elected by Tammany. his action came as a shock to the leaders of the wigwam.

 Yet there are those who dispute, even this matter, so plain to the ordinary observer Among those" are certain friends of John T. King. who declare that he will be the next Town chair man, or can be if he wishes to.
 Those" assert, in proof, that King is nearest to the man who has the power to call the convention together again. They also assert that he has a candidate for Governor in tow. that this candidate may win, that winning he will bring King into power.
 There are a third group of Repub- fcans to be reckoned with. however who may not improbably have the bal ance of power in the next convention They are the Morris group. who rep resent that element in the Republi- can party which is desirous of shak- ing off the domination of party af- fairs by public service corporations, and which are committed to the gov ernment of the Republican party by the Republican voters. through direct primaries.
