EXCUSE TO GUST CROPSEY
Mayor Gaynor Takes Advice
from the Corporation Counsel.

Little credence was given al the city
Hall yesterday TO reports that Police Com
missioner Cropsey had made his peace with
Mayor GaynOr and would remain at the
head of the department. II is believed
that there will be new Commissioner just
as soon as Mayor Gaynor is able to induce
some one TO take the place.
When the letter of James Creelman. presi-
dent OF the Municipal Civil Service, Com
mission. which charged Commissioner
Cropsey with violation of the law and In
subordina ton was given out the Mayor
thought he had man TO take Cropseys
place. That man suddenly changed his
mind. II Is said. and so far the Mayor has
been unable to find another satisfactory
candidate.
Commissioner Cropsey had no desire 10
be catapulted ont Of tho department. and il
was perfectly satisfactory to him to remain
until he could retire more gracefully.

forever whining about what news
