Amazed by Waldo's Action.

Mayor Kline declared that he mad
supposed until recently that Waldo was
sincerely DESTROYS Of serving the pest
interests Of the people Of the CITY, lie
said that from the outset Of his admin
istration he had resisted powerful
pressure from citizens for his removal.
He was amazed last Monday, he said'
when the Commissioner issued sweep
ing order, without consulting him,
transferring from Police Headquarters
all the experienced men and experts
engaged in conducting the routine busl-
ness of the bureaus. He ordered Waldo
TO rescind the transfers. which he did.
The Mayor intended to accept
Waldos resignation, which was In MS
hands at that time, but he learned
from outside sources" that the Com
missioner had demanded and received
the designations Of every one or MS
deputies, TO take effect at noon yes
terday. That would have left the Po-
lice department without head from
midnight last night until noon to-day
or until Mayor Mitchell appointed new
Commissioner.
The Commissioner actions convinced
Kline that Waldo had little regard Tor
the welfare Of the administration ana
that It was a matter of no concern TO
him, since he was not to be retained,
whether or not the administration OF
the Police Department broke down
completely. He pointed out the danger
OF leaving the department without
guiding head on New Years Eve, when
the streets were thronged
The Mayor said he asked Waldo to
reappoint First Deputy Commissioners
Mckay, and that Waldo broke his
solemn official promise" to do so.
Referring to waldo's letter yesterday
demanding that his resignation be ac-
cepted forthwith, Mayor Kline said:
His letter to me this morning was
the final act in a series OF childish.
stubborn, insubordinate and petty ac-
tons, all tending to disorganize and de-
moralise the administration Of the po-
lice force, and to bring into contempt
the authority OF the Mayor. | bore
this action an long as IL was possible
with dignity and self-respect, but when
he finally nouted not only the author
ity of the Mayor but the welfare Of the
city, as he did in this letter he sent
me. felt that the sooner he was out
OF the Police Department the better It
would be for the city

Mckay mailed Tuesday night letter

Mckay mailed Tuesday night a letter
to Mayor Kline and one to Commits
sioner Waldo, recalling his resignation.
He said the letters were executed" in
the presence Of another person and
given for transmission to a city official.
He knew they were delivered and he
said that he had been advised by coun-
sci that such action cancelled his resig-
nation.
This action was taken at Mayor
Kline's request that he might auto
matically take up Waldo's duties. He
was surprised on reaching City Hall, in
answer to the Mayors summons, TO
find that the action of Waldo had
changed the situation, and he was to
be sworn in as Commissioner.
Waldo received Mayor Klines letter
removing him from office before he left
the city, and sent a letter in reply, In
which he said that inasmuch as his res
ignation was in the Mayors hands
prior to the time he was removed, the
Mayor was mot in a position to take
the action which you allege to have
taken. / will hold you personally re-
sponsble," the letter continued, FOR
any prejudice TO my interest which
might result from your alleged action.
In his statement explaining his action
in removing Commissioner Waldo,
Mayor Kline said:
ut is q matter of deep regret to me
that almost at the very moment | am
going out Of office, the extraordinary
and inexplicable conduct Of the Police
Commissioner compels me to remove
one Of the important officials in the
administrator Of the late Mayor Gay
nor. which ministration it had been
my hope hold together intact until
the end the year That have been
unable to realize that hope is due alone
to the action Of Mr.. Waldo, whose con-
duct | am utterly at loss to under
stand

ues eminently qualified for the position
of street Cleaning Commissioner, and ne
expected him to work out the great mum
her of difficult questions Involved III oo

mont" In a recent countrywide co"h-

The Mayor had this TO say OF the CIVIL
Service Commission:
.It 10 NV hope that the Civil Service
Commission will become an effectlVe III
strument for promoting the corps spiii'
of city employees and developing greater
opportunity for advancement. There -
need of some plan to bring all depart

nose 10 serve the city. There Is need OF

missioner, Mir. Mitchell said he had de-
monstratcd his qualities OF leadership ana

lance OF extending the preventive Work OF
the department.
In regard TO the appointment OF MISS
Davis as Commissioner Of Correction,
which is the first time woman has ever
held so important an ofilce in the admin
istration Of this city. Mr.. Mitchell said:
DIR. Davis has been requested to come
into the administration not because she Is
woman, but because she has the train
ing. the experience and point OF view that
| desire for the Commissioner OF Correc-
ton. DR. Davis understands that there is
nothing more futile than to conduct
penitentary merely as place OF deten-
ton or to attempt the correction Of criml-
nails without understanding the conditions
i'm the community which manufacture
them.
en- Dr. Davis has established a standard
OF intelligent and efficient penal admins
tration which we desire to institute In the
Department OF Correction. This depart
ment has been previously regarded as
merely department of jails. We shall
hope in a true sense to make it depart
ment Of correction"
Speaking OF the appointment OF Mr.
Kingsbury as Commissioner OF Charities
Mayor Mitchell gave his idea OF What
ought to be done there. He said:
"The problems Of destitution and mis-
cry are the greatest challenges to our
civilization. Misery and restitution re-
quire for their treatment more than hos
pitfalls and asylums and homes for the
aged and inflrm. The Department oi
Charities needs both efficient institutional
management and a sympathetic under
standing Of conditions which lead to des-
sttution and misery.
THE Charities Department should De
closely in touch with the other public de-
partments whose work bears upon pow
erty questions II hsould work with prl-
vate agencies of every character, nom
estly aiming to reduce distress. Proven
ton Of restitution, as we'll as its alleVia-
ton. should be the ultimate aim of TINS
department.
"Mr. Kingsbury Is admirably equipped
