NEW YORK, May 2s.-The removal
OF Mayor John Purroy Mitchell from
office was asked In resolutions adopt
ed and sent to Governor Whitman by
the United Independent Democrats Of

that Mayor Mitchelr5s usefulness to
the city had "ended in disgrace"

the district attorneys OF Kings and
Manhattan OF the knowledge he said he
had that clcrgymen were conspiring
criminally for illegal purposes.
The resolution cited that In his wire
