MAY ENJOIN MAYOR
ON COCKTAILS BILL
Editor Says 1t Is Not Consistent
with Mitchel's Pre-Elec-
ton Promise.

Joseph J. O'Reilly. editor OF The
Chief" a newspaper devoted TO civil ser
vice affairs. brought taxpayers SUIT IN
the Supreme Court Yesterday for an In
junction to restrain Mayor Mitchell from
advocating the adoption by the Legislature
Of measures whose purpose OReilly be-
lieves is to give Colonel Goethals absolute
control OF the Police Department
O'Reilly insists that the purpose OF the
Mayor TO give the Police Commissioner
power TO dismiss peremptorily men and
DENY them the right Of review by the
court Is not consistent with Mr. MitcheI
nre-election promise that he would not
seek the enactment of any laws contrary
70 those then existing The petitioner also
saws that the laws as at present framed
give the Commissioner ample power 10
dismiss or fine members Of the force.
O'Reilly fears that the Mitchell law would
..re-estarlish slavery as ii existed among
the colored people prior to the Civil War.
The editor adds these few friendly words
for Commissioner Mckay:
MAYOR Mitchell has been in office one
month and five days. and his present Po-
lice Commissioner Is an efficient official or
wide experience. and is in all respects
eminently qualified to discharge the func-
tons of his Office 10 the entire satisiac-
ton of all voters and citizens of New
York City and there is no just cause TOT
the change Of Police Commissioner or the
civil service laws governing the depart
mont."
When Mayor Mitchell was asked TO COM
ment on the OReilly suit he laughed and
expressed the opinion that the suit was a
Joke. He remembered the statement he
made 10 O'Reilly before election but SAID
the Goethals bills were not opposed "a
II at statement. He had said he would not
| advocate any changes in the law which
would prevent the policemen from getting
square deal and a fair hearing. They
would get both under the proposed laws

SYLVIA PANKHURST
LEAVES MILITANTS
Has Independent Body-Members
of Suffragette Family Now on
Opposite Sides.
rRv Gable to The Tribune. J

London, Feb. Another suffragette split
has occurred. and 1t has actually set the
members OF the Pankhurst family on OPP
nosfte sides. for IN the bald words of the
official statement OF the Women's Social
and Political Union the movement IN the
East End Of London, of which sylvia
Pankhurst IS honorary secretary, hith-
erto named the East London Federatlon
OF tho Women's Social and Poiucai
Union. has now become a separate organ
ization entirely Independent OF the Wom-
ems Social and Political Union
As a matter OF fact to inside observers
II has been apparent for some time tha'
the longstanding differences between Syl-
via Parkhurst and the official heads OF
the union, her mother and her reoouot-
able sister, Christabel. could only culmi-
nate in some such way. For long PERIOD
Sylvia has been adopting militant policy
all her own without consulting the union
HEADQUARTERS, while Christabel has been
issuing instructions from Paris tha'
no matter what happened the women
Social and Political Union was to be kept
independent OF all political parties. The
movement led by Sylvia assumed strongly
socallstic sympathies. Most OF Sylvia
supporters are avowed Socialists. and her
scheme for a no-rent strike for votes Tor
women" affords evidence Of her revolu-
tionary attitude in regard TO the rights OF
property and capital Her new militant
body will be known as the East London
Federation OF Suffragettes.
London, Feb 6.-Miss Sylvia Pankhurst
daughter Of the militant suffragette lead
er to-day announced her secession from
the Women's Social and Political Union
the militant women's organization. Her
East End OF London Federation, which
hitherto has been a branch Of the parent
organization, will henceforth be entirely
independent.
The rift among the militant suffragettes
Is said to be due TO Miss Sylvia Pank-
bursts ultra-revolutionary aspirations
which the leaders of the Women's Social
and Political Union are beginning to be-
lleve are damaging their cause.
