HoverS Over HeaIy'S, Mr..
GaynOr Writes in an
Angry Mood.
BEHAVED WITH DISCRETION
Gaynorian Dissertation Says
City Executive Has Taught
Force to Respect "Unin-
fuential People" He
Has No Press Agent.

The dove Of peace still hovered over
Healy's restaurant. at Columbus ave
nue. and seth street. last night. The
recall Of his police Cossacks by Mayor
Gaynor. following the interference OF
District Attorney Whitman to prevent
further assaults upon patrons Of the
place. precluded the repetition Of the
riotous scenes enacted at the restau-
rant on six successive nights when
diners were forcibly elected at a. m.
Thomas Healy the owner Of the
battle ground. added TO the quietness
bv continuing his policy Of the night
before and closing before the police
curfew hour. He said. however, that
the truce was only a temporary one
as far as he was concerned. and that
he intended 10 keep open house into
the wee sma hours as soon as the
notoriety and scandal of the affair
blew over.
Many thugs and piCkpockets were at
tracted TO the neighborhood 1t was
said. and they found the great crowds
that collected there each night lucra-
tive field for their adventures. Healy
said he would close early for few
nights % protect his patrons
Mayor Gaynor shot a small rocket
into the otherwis. clear skies yester-
day when he issued a picturesque
revelation" in which ne charged Dis
trict Attorney Whitman with insti-
eating the open and forcible resistance
10 the police at Healy's.' In Gayno-
rlan stanzas he added that the District
Attorney went TO the restaurant with
a "retinue Of trained and brilliant
writer's 10 write him up. and Of flash
!, .yht photographers TO take his picture
in heroic attitudes"

Mayor. who can be easily obtained TO

The Mayor, according 10 his state
ment. was angry because the District
Attorney didn't first send word 10 him
and the Police Commissioner that he
believed the police were trying to en-
force the law illegally, and said that
instead. without notice or warning the
police found him whitman in the
midst Of and siding with disorder'y
crowd engaged in disobeying and force
fully resisting the police"
Let me add" said the Mayor, that
Ipon full inquiry / find that the police
used no unnecessary force, but behaved
with that discretion, patience and even
forbearance which / have been now for
nearly four years teaching them for the
cake of the people. and especially the
everyday unlnhuential people of the
city"
The Mayor incorporated in his state
ment in lengthy detail his version Of
the law in the case. pointing out where
the District Attorney was wrong, in
his opinion. and the police were right.
