Is said that they persist In carrying
their pranks beyond tho endurance
limit; annoying pedestrians on the

The mayor has Instructed the police
men thioughout the city to be on the

Is given that If they continue these
doings they will be arrested and sum

SELECTMEN WANTED
TO KNOW CHARGES.
NOT FORTHCOMING: THEY MADE
DOME THEMSELVES.
Mayor Is Accused of Admitting to
Select Councilman Coyno That
Thoro Wore No Charges Against
Patrolman Flaherty and Then with
Having Sent In a Communication
Removing Him for Oauoo Chlof of
Police Comes In for Somo Com
ments Connery Is Confirmed.
Against vigorous protests from the
antl-admlnlstratlon men nfjalnst re
moving an officer for cause without un
accompaniment of preferred charges,
select council last night approved the
dismissal of Patrolman Flaherty, one
of the veterans of the force, and con-
firmed tho appointment of Thomas M.
Connery, nominated by Mayor Molr
as his successor.
All the Republicans with the excep
tion of Mr. Williams, nnd one Demo
crat, Mr. Melvln, voted with the may
or, making the tally twelve to nine.
Mr. O'Uoylo, who voted with the may
or on the removal of Saul nnd Dyer,
was on the opposite side this time.
At the meeting of the police commit
tee he gave ns his reason for refusing
to sign the ropdrt that he believed Mr.
FlaheMy should have an opportunity
to take the matter Into court such ii
v.nu .vcorded Messrs. Saul und Dyer.
The discussion wn3 nttcn'cd with
an unusual and somewhat sensational
Incident. Mr. Coyne, who led in the
tight against removing Flaherty with
out cause, got pretty well worked up
In the heat of the debate and openly
charged Mayor Molr with having ad
mitted that there was no charge
against Flaherty and that Chief Rob
ling upon being pressed to answer a
question as to Mr. Flaherty's conduct
turned upon Mr. Coyne as if to as
sault him.
COYNE ASKED THE Cft-USE.
The discussion leading up to Mr.
Coyne's charges was precipitated by
his asking the members of the police
committee for "the cntlse" for which
they recommended the patrolman's
dismissal.
Mr. Finn, chairman of the police
committee, replied that tho members
ot council are well aware of the fact
that Flaherty was removed during
Mayor Bailey's administration for a
very serious offense. Mr. Finn didn't
know of any subsequent cause, but
that In Itself ought to be sufficient, he
thought.
"Those charges," said Mr. Coyr.e,
' were sifted and found to be grund-
iet's. They were a more pretext to net
him off the force to make room for
some friend of thbse who were prefer
ring them. The mayor's Investiga
tion showed these charges to be vain
and empty and placed Flaherty back
on the force."
"Even If they were true," said Mr.
r.oche, "they would not Justify M
Flaherty's removal now."
Mr. Finn volunteered the Information
thtit Flaherty and the chlef ot police
don't speak to one anotvie. There
might be other complaints ngalnst Fla
herty, but ho did not know of them.
Mr. Shea thought the members of se
lect council ought to know "the cause"
when they are joining with the mayor
In removing a man for cause.
Mr. Lansing said that when Flaherty
was removed, one year ago, there was
a lack of harmony between the officer
and tho head of the department. There
was Insubordination then nnd the In
subordination still continues. "One
year ngo," said Mr. Lansing, "I voted
to sustain Mnyor Dalley In removing
this officer. Just as I will vote to sus
tain Mayor Molr, tonight."
DISCIPLINE NECESSARY.
Mr. Sanderson said: "Above all
things. In an organized body, discipline
Is absolutely necessary. If subordin
ates get It Into their heads that the
orders of their superiors can be nulli
fied by another body, It is perfectly
Inconsistent to expect discipline will be
maintained."
"It won't be disputed," said Mr.
Roche, "that the right of select coun
cil Is co-oullnate with that of the
mayor' In the appointment of officers.
This being true, the council has nn
equal right with the mayor to know
the causes for which they remove an
officer.
"If any member of this body." con
tinued Mr. Roche, "knows why Officer
Flaherty Is to be removed he should
make It known. The charge made
against him during the last adminis
tration proved to be groundless. Other
wise he would. not have been put back
on tho force, if there Is anything else
that can be brought against him, I
want to know it."
"There are no charges against him,"
broke in Mr. Coyne. "Mayor Molr said
to Mr. Flaherty. In my presence: 'No,
I hnve no charges against you. I am
forced to get rid of you. They nre
, hounding me to make places nnd I hnvo
got to remove you.' Later I saw tho
chief of police nnd asked him If ho had
any complaint against Flaherty. He
gave no answer, nnd when I asked him
ngaln ho turned upon me nnd I thought
he was going to club me right on the
street. The chief Is the one who ought
to be removed, If the truth was known.
He Is not fit to bo at the head of the
police department."
"That's right," said Mr. Roche, from
the rear of the room, where he was

"Keep cool, gentlemen," came from
the chair, as the gavel was rapped vig
orously to drown odt any further utter
ances along this line.
NO CHARGES AT ALL.
"Were these charges preferred In
writing or orally?" queried Mr. Chit
tenden. "There were no charges at nil," said
Mr. O'Hoyle, of the pollco committee,
Jumping up eagerly. "Tho committee
had no charges to act upon."
"Oh!" said Mr. Chittenden.
Mr. Melvln attempted to excuse the
action of tho mayor and the committee
by saying that this sort of thing was
customary In former administrations.
He remembered a time when twclvo
officers were discharged at one time for
cause and no charges wore preferred.
Mr. Kennedy came In vMth a protest
against discharging an old und faithful
officer who had done sixteen years' ser
vice, unless there was good cause for
discharging him. "We ought to know
what cause there Is for removing him
before wo voto to sustain the mayor.
If the mayor has any complaints to
make ho ought to have the moral cour
age to make them."
Mr. Melvln reminded Mr. Kearney
that ho voted to remove Chief Simp
son and (Patrolmen Lewis and McIIale.
To this Mr. Kearney replied that he
believed In allowing a mayor to select
nny clique ho saw lit. As to Lewis and
McIIale, he voted against them because
there were charges made against them
that warranted their removal. McIIale
Insulted the mayor during the cam
paign and that, Mr. Kearney said, was
good cause for his removal. Any police
man who will Insult a citizen, and es
pecially one who Is so prominent as to
be put forward for the office ot mayor,
has no place on the police force.
Mr. Finn remarked that he was on
the police committee at that time and
know of no charges tfelng preferred
against McIIale and Lewis.
MR. SHEA'S MOTION.
The discussion was brought to a
close with a motion by Mr. Shea that
the report be referred back to tho com
mittee with Instructions to find out
for what cause Flaherty was to be
removed. The motion was lost by tho
following voto:
Ayes Messrs. Kearney, Roche, Shea,
McCann, Olloyle, Frable, Coyne, McAn
drews, Williams, 0.
Nays 5Ihrs. Ross, Finn. Thomas,
James, Melvln, Chittenden, Wagner,
Schneider, Sanderson. Fellows, Schroed
cr, Lansing, 12.
A motion to approve of the dismis
sal of Flaherty was carried by a simi
lar division nnd then Connery was con
firmed by a vote of 17 to 4, Messrs.
Kearney, McCann, Frable and Coyne
voting In tho negative.
The ii'Mv patrolman, Thomas M. Con
nery, Is a handsome man about 3
years old. Ho stands six fnct one
Inch in his stocking feet and tips the
scales at 175 pounds. lie hv been
employed for a number of years as a
steel worker In the South mill.
He Is a self-educated man and his
knowledge of the best to be found In
the works of tho great authors is said
to be truly remarkable, when the fact
Is taken Into consideration that he flas
very little Bpare time to himself.
What time he has had, however, has
been spent In studious reading. Ho
will, no doubt, be a valuable acquisi
tion to the city's police force.
MAY BE REIN STATED.
National Judiciary Committee of the
J. O. U. A. M., Considering Case
of the State Council
The national judiciary committee ot
tho Junior Order United American
Mechanics on Wednesday In Odd Fel
lows' temple, Philadelphia, heard the
protest of the state council of Penn
sylvania against the nullification of
Its charter.
It will be remembered that at the
stato convention of this oiganlzatlon
held last September In this city, nn or
der for the dissolution of the state
council was Issued by the national
grand councilor because tho delegates
refused to conform with certain of the
revised laws of the national council.
The final settlement of the matter was
left to the Judiciary committee.
At Wednesday's hearing State Coun
cillor George D. Rowers, of Altoona,
and Alexander M. De Haven, of Phil
adelphia, appeared for tho state coun
cil, while A. D. Wllklns. of Pittsburg,
represented the natlon'il council.
The particular law which the Penn
sylvnnlans refused to comply with was
one requiting that a per capita tax of
15 cents be levied upon each member
and transferred to tho national fund.
At the hearing the contention was
made by the state's representatives
that, as Pennsylvania comprises one-
third of tho entire organization, that
the ratio of tax is unfair, as It makes
It pay the expenses of the smaller
states without Increased representa-
tlon.
It was also contended that tho na
tional council's jurisdiction In the
matter extends no further than the
act of dissolution nnd that It has no
power to nullify the state's chnrter,
that belonRlnx solely nnd wholly to
the state council. The committee
took tho matter under advisement nnd
will render n decision In a few days.
According to the Philadelphia North
American, tho result will probably
favor this state nnd In all probability
the stato council will be reorunnlzod
nnd a ratio of taxation adopted to cor
respond with tho state council's de
mands. CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW.

Amendments Increasing to the ex

sue of bonds for sewer construction
was saddled to the sewer ordlnanco
when It came up In solect council last
night on second reading. Mr. Fellows,
father of the measure, stood In fear
and trembling as ono member nfter
another came forward with his Jeopar
dizing amendment, nnd when finally
tho rush was over and tho measure
was referred to the city solicitor, ho
gave forth a deep slgluof relief.
Here are tho amendments and tho
amounts by which they Increase tho
proposed issue:

OPTION ON ROUND WOODS.
Mr. Roche, for the park committee,
presented to council the option secured
on the Round Woods for park purposes
nnd called nttentlon of councils to the
fnct that the option was about to ex
pire. Tho price asked Is $30,000. In
addition to this obligations are Im
posed ns follows: The other ninety
five acres of tho tract must be ac
cepted as a part of the city: no liquor
Is to be sold on the premises: the city
must keep In repair live streets leading
to. through and around the park.
Mr. Fellows wanted the matter re
ferred to the park committee in con
Junction with the West Side council
men, that they might make an effort
to secure betters terms.
Mr. Chittenden believed It poor policy
to have the West Side representatives
deal with the matter, as they might
be Influenced by their consltuents.
This made Mr. Fellows somewhat
wrathy and he testily told Mr. Chit
tenden It came with bad grace from
him to make such a remaik, consid
ering how the West Side councllmen
hnd stood by the central city In Its
efforts to secure and Improve Nny Aug
pn rk.
Mr. Kearney thought It unwise to
spend so much money for so smnll and
so Isolated a place. Ho favored buy
ing up the whole West mountain from
the Notch to Bald Mount and having
a park that Is a park.
Mr. MoC.inn thought It futile to
"monkey" with the Round Woods tract
any longer. The price Is too high, e
said, nnd even the West Side board
of trade would not favor paying $30,000
for It. Mr. Chittenden thought It nil
nonsense to talk about buvlng a park
when the city's finnncl.il condition
would not permit of It even If they
were selling for $30 apiece. Mr. O'Royl"
said the tract was right In his terri
tory, but he would not favor buying
It at any such fancy figure.
INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.
A motion by Mr. Chittenden to In
definitely postpone the matter was de
feated and It was referred back to the
I park committee.
I A communlcatlrtn was received from
1 Mayot Molr, withdrawing his appoint
I ment of Andrew Phnlen ns assistant
I fire chlof In the Central city district,
nnd naming In his place Frances
Schroeder. It was referred tot the fire
I department committee.
I Chief Walker of the fire department
1 snt In a number of unpaid bills '
amounting to $734.72. which wore con- '
tracted by his predecessor, and for tho
payment of which no piovlslonn hnvo
been made, lie asked that money be
appropriated to liquidate them. The
bills were as follows: New hydrants,
$."4".72: sir patent nozzles, $150; bricks,
$3.?.r: plumbing repairs, $3.".75. Tho
hydrants were all ordered by resolu
tions of councils. 1
