"CO IT appears to be a case of haying swapped three regu

ones, thus promoting an immense amount of law-breakin&
as well as intoxication."

TWO DIRECTORS AS TARGETS.
The Inquiries of the commission would
probably centre about Director Cooke,
bf the Department of Public Works, and
Director Porter, of the Department of
Public Safety. The latter Is regarded as
a "possibility" In the stand of Independ

As a prelude to the opening of the
political hostilities In Philadelphia's
mayoralty battle, the report of the
lcglstatlva commission appointed lo In
vestigate tho manner In which tha
Illankciihurg Aiilnlstrntlon Is observing
the civil service law, has been filed.
Tho report gives sharp criticism to
Director Cooke for alleged breaches ot
tho civil service regulations, nnd also
pays attention lo Directors Porter and
I.oeb. It is believed that tho report on
tho supposed civil service conditions was
produced at this time as an excuse for
making Philadelphia the centro of legis
lative inquiry If the tcsolutlon for the
Investigating commission Is approved by
the Governor.
Laughter and ridicule from tho Mayor
nnd the Civil Service Commissioners fol
lowed tho publication of the report of tho
Civil Service Investigating Commission.
