the discipline of the Police Depart

likely that he will resort TO legal action
in the hope of having his acts sustained

have refused steadfastly to take orders

quest Mayor Kline made more requests

The events preceding Waldo's removal
and following II proved of unusual in
terest. 1t had been announced on Tues
day that Mckay, who had sent his rfsis-
nation to Waldo with the other deputies
would withdraw II and would be made
acting Commissioner until Mr.. Mitchell
could find the man he wished for the
place. II was also learned that Waldo
spent much time on Tuesday seeking to
persuade his assistant from his deter
mination to 30 act.
The attitude OF Mr.. Waldo was shown
in the letters OF resignation which he
wrote on Monday The first, addressed 10
Mr.. Kline and dated December 90. said :;

nation as Police Commissioner, to take

When Mr.. Waldo reached Police Head
quarters yesterday morning, IN" en-
countered Mr. Mckay just entering the
building. The story Is that Waldo looked
at his aid but did not speak. Waldo
went to his office. lie had planned to
leave the city at noon and accordingly
had many things to do. Practically the
nrst thing he did was 10 Issue an order
TO- all men on special duty in Police
Headquarters to return to their posts in
various police districts. lie previously
had issued such an order but under tho
direction Of Mayor Kline had rescinded
IL. The second order therefore was In
direct disobedience Of the Mayors orders.
The next thing Waldo did was to write
a second letter to Mayor Kline. demand
ing that his resignation be accepted i'm
mediately, OF not later than noon. His
letter to the Mayor said:
I'm my opinion the best interests Of the
city and Of the Police Department demand
that a Commissioner OF Police he ap.
pointed Immediately to succeed M. 1t

administration not to appoint Com
