 American children breathe in this desperado romance with their earliest traditions, and Dr. Temple felt all his boyhood zest surge back with a boys tremendous rapture in a deed of der rtng-do. And now nothing could check his swagger as he said to Mallory
 What shall we do with these damned sinners?"
 He felt like apologfzing for the clerical relapse into pulpitism. but Mallory answered briskly: Wed bet ter take them into the smoking room They scare the ladies' But first. will the conductor take those bags and distribute the contents to their right full owners?"
 The conductor was proud to act as lieutenant to this lieutenant and he quickly relieved the robbers Of their loot-kits.

GAYNDR IS
. A POOR WITNESS
PROBING COMMITTEE LEARNS
LITTLE FROM CITY EN-
ECUTINE.
CAYNOR LOST HIS temper
Denounced the Committee and Sev
cral Times Threatens 10 Leave
the Stand.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10,--T'or more
than two hours this afternoon william
j. Gaynor, mayor of New York. sat
IN a witness chair at the City Hall
and parried with picturesque rotor
and evasion the attempts of counsei
for an aldermanic committee TO learn
his views on the police situation
brought to a head by the murder Of
the gambler, Herman Rosenthal.
Three times he threatened TO leave
tho stand because he considered the
questions irrelevant, twice he de-
rounced the hearing as a scandal
mongering excursion and oftei.
throughout his testimony he repeated
that attempts to 'scandall2e" him
would be in vain, for he said he had
lived in the city too long and begui,
his efforts to purify government long
before Emory II. Buckner, counsel f. r
the committee, was born.
At no time during his examination
would he admit that the police de-
partment was Inefficient. He eX-
pressed renewed confidence in Alex
ander Waldo, commissioner OF police.
and declared that If the social evil
flourished, it was at least on the de.
crease and was lesser evil than po-
lice black mail, which he had trieo
to eradicate,
Nine out of every ten questions ask
sG by Mr.. Buckner remained un-
answered. The mayor had formed
TO opinions, he said, and had not
come to tell his opinions anyway II
he were asked about facts or about
any instances wherein the police de-
partment had violated the law, he was
ready to answer.
Though the mayor lost his temper
time and again and protested to Mr..
Buckner that he was asking foolish
questions. the young lawy.r kept at
his task patiently, unruffled by the
rebuffs The crowd which jammed
the aldermanic chamber until stand
ing room only remained. frequently
broke into applause at the mayors re-
torts.
IT hope you do not think I am try
ing to badger you, Mr. Mayor" re-
marked Buckner.
"Oh, have to make allowances for
your zeal and everything replied the
mayor laconically.
