GAYNOR IS ANGRY !
IN WITNESS CHAIR
Mayor Testifies in Police Graft
Investigation.
SAYS HE is RESPONSIBLE
Defends His Own Administration and
That of Police Commissioner
Waldo--Aiderman Threatens
Him With Libel Suit.

New York, Sept. l1.-Defendlng his
own administration and that OF Po-
lice Commissioner Waldo, Mayor Gay
nor appeared before the committee OF
aldermen, which is investigating the
corrupt police conditions brought to
light by the Rosenthal murder.
For three hours he bickered with
Emory A. Buckner the committees
counsel, avoiding questions of fact
and waxing sarcastic when he failed
to lead his inquisitor astray by long
dissertations on wide issues.
The voluntary appearance of Mayor
Gaynor was surprise inasmuch as
he had written an accusation OF graft
against Alderman Curran, chairman OF
the committee, and declared he could
not work with investigators who were
tainted by corruption themselves. Al
derman Curran announced his inten-
ton of suing the mayor for libel
II Mayor 10 Angry.
At one stage of the proceedings the
mayor, angered by the questions OF
Buckner, declared:
I'm responsible. Look at me. II
anything has been going wrong ] am
responsible"
He also said he had learned that
Lieut.. Becker, alleged instigator of the
Rosenthal murder was the head Of
the police graft" He dwslt on his
own administration, saying he had
abolished the graft heretofore neces-
sary to get police promotions and the
graft which saloonkeepers paid 10 vio-
late the excise law. When Buclner
asked the mayor II he knew that

Of the committee last Sunday S44 we're

torted that there were not more than
ten violating the law.
Attitude 10 Hostile.
The mayor was sworn by Chairman
Curran and IL was instantly plain that
the chief executive had assumed a
hostile attitude and he had resolved
TO refuse to answer any questions that
might displease him.
: Soon after taking the stand the wit
ness made q fiat admission that he
had made no Investigation into gen
eral police conditions following the
murder OF Herman Rosenthal: also
that he had made no Investigation of
the charge in the letter of resignation
of First Deputy Commissioner Bugner
that the police department was demon
allied. .s

Gaynor, land / have done everything
could to lift it up. Decent peo-
pie know that"
Gives Committee Advice.
The mayor said he had never laid
down policy in regard to disorderly
houses and advised the committee not
TO burn it's fingers with "a thing that
should be wept over rather than be
made political capital"
Concerning Becker the mayor said
Il found out that he was the head
of the police graft. not an ulderling.
