WALDO QUITS AS
HEAD OF POLICE
Kline Refuses to Accept Resig-
nation and Says Commissioner
Was Ousted.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Rhinelander
Waldo, for nearly four years police
commissioner of New York, put on
his hat and walked out of headquar-
ters today. In a letter to Mayor
Kline he said:
at appears to be the desire of the
incoming administration not to ap-
point a commissioner, but to have
an acting commissioner appointed by
me remain in charge of the depart
ment. / will not be a party to this
plan"
Waldo's sudden resignation leaves
the city without civilian police head
until John Purroy Mitchell, who takes
office tomorrow, can name one. II
had been announced that Douglas l.
Mckay. who had heretofore rendered
his resignation as first deputy COM
missioner, effective at noon today,
had rescinded his action, and would
remain in charge. Mr.. Waldo, depart
ing, called a halt on this scheme.
"After noon," he said, "the police
department will be In the hands of
Chief Inspector Max Schmittberger.
The mayor will have to appoint a
commissioner or go without one. All
of the deputy commissioners have re-
signed to me. / had their designations
in my hands two months ago. All
take effect at IL o'clock today"
Mayor Kline settled the police situ-
alton for the time being by appoint
ing Mr.. Mckay police commissioner
at noon.
Commissioner Mckay had contend
ed that the formal withdrawal of his
resignation as first deputy left him
the legal head of the department
after Waldo resigned, but Mayor
Kline decided to remove all doubt by
giving Mckay formal appointment.
Mayor Kline, incensed, announced
that he declined to accept Mr.. Wal
DOS resignation and had removed
him for INSTRUMENTATION"
81 had to do this to retain my self
respect and the dignity of the city,
said the mayor. Waldo's term would
normally have expired at midnight.
John Purroy Mitchell, who will be-
come mayor of New York tomorrow
reappointed r. A. C. Smith as COM
missioner, John J. Murphy as tene-
ment house commissioner and Lawson
w Purdy as president of the Tan
Board The mayor-elect said thai
thus far he had been unable to select
heads of some of the most important
departments in case of police com
missioner, but that he meant to be sure
that he had the right man before lac
made appointments, no matter how
long he had to wait.

LIND SPEEDING TO
WILSON IN CRUISER
Special Envoy Will Confer
With President at Pass
Christian.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss, Dec 81,
President Wilson received official
adviees today that John Lind, his
personal representative to Mexico.
had left Vera Cruz on the scout
cruiser Chester, and probably would
arrive off here tonight. There is a
possibility, if the weather Is good,
that the President will go aboard the
revenue cutter Winona, recently
placed at his disposal here, and meet
MIR. Lind when the Chester arrives.
The President was not inclined to
discuss the coming conference with
Mr. Lind, but authorized the state
ment that the visit was of no es.
pecial significance, and merely meant
that the Presidents representative
desireS to communicate more fully
than he could by cable. Mr.. Wilson
gave the impression that there was
nothing here to indicate a crisis in
Mexican affairs or that a new diplo-
matte move was contemplated.
The President, however, recently
has given much thought to the Mex
lean problem. In view of this fact
there is reason for believing that a
more definite understanding of the
course that the President desires Mr..
Lind to pursue in the immediate fu-
ture will be reached.
The President today motored to the
Mississippi Country Club and planned
eighteen holes of golf as though he
had not care In the world His
health apparently is improving daily.
WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Secretary
Bryan, back from his holiday In
Florida, was early at his desk today
going over Mexican dispatches which
accumulated in his absence. Mr..
Bryan would not discuss John Lind's
forthcoming conference with Presi-
dent Wilson at Pass Christian. Miss,
or the occasions which had prompted
the Presidents representative to seek
a personal interview with his chief.
He said he did not know whether Mr..
Lind would come to Washington.
In official circles 1t was suggested
that some new announcement regard
ing the policy of the United States
toward Mexico might be ma after
Mr.. Lind's report to President Will
son.

STREET PAVING
{ BID IS DROPPED
BY WORKS BOARD
Engineer Sherrerd Argues That
Bid Did Not Comply With
Specifications.

On the recommendation of Chief
Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd, and
despite the opposition of Commission
er Charles p. Gillen, the Board of
Works decided to readvertise for bids
for the paving of Warwick Nichols,
Jay and Ricord streets with asphalt.
The Newton Paving Company was
the lowest of three bidders. Its bid
was $2.07 a yard.
Mr.. Sherrerd in advocating that the
bids be rejected, argued that they
did not comply with the specifica-
fions Commissioner Gillen objected
and said that the technicalities to
which the chief engineer referred
were such as might be found in any
bids.
'We have been trying to obtain
competition for asphalt streets for
some time in order to lower the costs
of pavement and hitherto only two
concerns have been in a position to
bid said Mr.. Gillen, Now the
Newton company, concern we'll able
to carry out the contract, submits a
bid three cents a yard lower than
either of the others. and the chief
asks us to throw it out because of a
slight informality.
my object" continued Mr.. Gillen,
sis to obtain pavements at a lower
price in this city, and this can only
be done through competition. If
pavements can be laid in the city
of Trenton for SLIGO a yard / see no
reason why they can't be laid here
for the same price.
"I viii fight any effort here to stifie
competitions" added Mr. Gillen,
humping his fist on the table, "and
I object to the throwing out of this
bid"
In answer to Mr.. Gillen, Commits
sioner Kraemer said that while he
believed in the main in his colleagues
argument in favor of competition, he
believed that the engineers recon-
mendation in this particular instance
should be carried out.

INTERVENTION BY
GOVERNMENT IS
MINERS REQUEST
Western Federation Head Tel
egraphs Wilson Erdman Act
Could Be Invoked.

CALUMET, Mich, Dec. 31.-Federal
intervention, under the amended Erd-
man act, has been suggested as a
means of settling the copper miners
strike by the Western Federation of
Miners.
A telegram calling attention to the
possibility of such action, was sent to-
day to President Wilson by O. N. Hill
ton, chief of counsel for the Western
Federation of Miners, as q sequel to n
talk late last night between him and
John b. Densmore. solicitor of the de-
partment of labor, who is here to find
means of settling the controversy.
"under the recent act of Congress
creating a labor commissioner au-
thority undoubtedly is ample under
the general welfare clause of the con-
stitution to warrant governmental in
reference in settling the strike.
"Itl involves -sl question.
Conditions here in ~ strict fore
ing the strike are appalling. One
miner for twenty-six days hard
labor, received $1.75. Another less
than $50 a month for five successive
months.
ANY assistance you can render in
settling the strike would mean
happy new year, indeed, to these
humble and very deserving people.
Will you kindly confer with Labor
Commissioner Wilson and the attor-
ney-general. A representative of the
former is here.
"The unions attorney said he was
convinced as a lawyer that the POSI-
ton he had taken was sound.
IF this proposal works out 1t will
be a very happy solution Of a very
yexing question" he said.
LANSING, Mich. Dec. 31.-John
Mitchell, vice-president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor: Clarence
Darrow, counsel for the Western
Federation of Miners. and a number

speeds, organization and conditions
will be utilized in the two runs as
far as possible. Part of the raw

each mixing to ascertain if there is
any difference in the cost of bleach
ing, or in the way the resultant stock
behaves in the manufacturing pro-
cesses. Bleaching tests will also be
made in the laboratory on the fin
ished yarns.
In addition to the various num-
Der of yarns ordinarily made by the
trade from respective grades, the
same number of yarns will be made
from each grade. Tensile strength
tests of all yarns will be made in a
variety of ways and by variety of
agencies.
Samples of the yarn and other
products manufactured will be sub

buyers and sellers of yarn. to ascer-
tain the true commercial value of all
samples.
Quotations will also be obtained
from waste dealers and mills that
manufacture waste to determine the
relative commercial value of the va
rious types of waste made from the
respective grades.
The relative cost of manufacture
will be taken carefully into consid-

A Real Fairy Story.

Mr. Daniel ] Crowley, one of the
wealthiest citizens of Georgetown,
died last week. His estate is estl-
mated to be worth from $50. 900 to
100000. His business interests
were large and extensive.
From the Georgetown Times we
gather this interesting story. When
Mr. Crowley was a mere lad, having
come to Georgetown from the Char
lesion Orphan Home, he worked for
and lived with a Mr. McFeeley, who,
with his wife, was very kind to young
Crowley. The boy was ambitious.
He saved his money and when his
savings amounted to 5000 he began
to think of going into business for
himself.
Mrs McFeeley had a sister, Miss
Sarah Sullivan. Miss Sullivan lived
with her married sister and knew
the young boy well. She knew OF
his ambition to 60 into business and
told him she had $500 in bank that
she would let him have to add to what
he already had to start in business.
He accepted her offer. He said it
was the beginning of his fortune.
Crowley never married. When his
will was read after his death last
week it was found that he had left
all of his estate, real and personal,
to Miss Sarah Sullivan, now spin
ster, the lady who gave him start.
1t is not safe for ladies with $500
in bank to turn it over to every young
man starting out in business. This
was an exceptional case, an excep-
tional young man. He remembered
his benefactor. He did well.-Green-
wood Inder.

Twenty carloads of live chickens,
1000 chickens to the car, were held
in Jersey City a few days ago be-
cause angry jobbers refused to re-
ceive them. Scarcely live chicken
was handled by dealers Monday.
The trouble arose over a recent
complaint of jobbers that receivers
were stufing chickens crops with
weight producing sand and gravel
to make up for shrinkage sustained
in transit. Until receivers agree to
abandon the practice the dealers say
they will boycott all live poultry.
