PHILADELPHIA TOh SHAKEOFF DURHAM Machine Surrenders to Weaver for Present, and Citizens Will Keep Up Fight. Philadelphia, May 31.David Smyth, former director of public safety, and 'Peter E. JGostello, former director of S[ayocr ubli works, who. were deposed by Weaver, today withdrew the in junction proceedings against Colonel Sheldon Potter and A. Lincoln Acker, .their successors. This formally ended ithe legal fight by the "organization" leaders against the appointees of Mayor 1 Weaver. The withdrawal of the papers means jthat the ''organization" forces have de cided to discontinue for the present, at least, their fight on Mayor Weavor. Acting on the advice of "Boss!' Dur ham, the members of select council who were opposed to the mayor, will tomor row vote for the confirmation of Pot ter and Acker. There is no doubt that the men who have been the mayor's advisers from the time of his break with Mr. Dur ham are bent upon destroying every vestig of the organization dominated by the insurance commissioner and fa vor continuing tne fight against every man who "was associated with him. This is evidenced by the fact that the committee of seventy and the com mittee of nine, citizens' reform organ izations, have announced their intention of placing an independent ticket in the field next fall unless the regular re publican candidates for sheriff and cor oner are withdrawn and others substi tuted. The candidate for sheriff is Har ry C. Kansley, president of select council. THEFT MAY BARE FAMILY SKELETON Stolen Letters Said to Contain Elements of Great Scandal for Gotham. New York Bun Special Service. New York, May 31For the return of a packet of letters, the publication of whieti would disrupt a New York family of wealth and social prominence and would involve other families of equal standing in a scandal, a reward of $10,000 is offered by a detective bu reau on behalf of the'wife and daugh ters from whom the letters were stolen. It is believed by the detectives that the son of the household is the robber. Incidentally it is hoped to recover $60,000 worth of jewels and many thou sands of dollars' worth of stock certifi cates which were stolen at the same time as the letters, but in comparison with the letters, the loss of the jewel ry is considered insignificant. Every effort has been made to keep the theft secret. Not half a dozen persons have been aware that some time between March 31 and a few days ago an old-fashioned mahogany treasure box -was stolen from a safe where for many years it has held the most valuable of the possessions of the women members of a prominent family. Not even the head of the family knows of its loss. He, in fact, is the last per son on earth whom it is desired to take into the secret, and the necessity of keeping him in ignorance of the facts has been the greatest handicap to the detectives. Samuel Sheldon, head of the detec tive bureau and formerly a detective sergeant at police headquarters, and his partner, Charles Tannenbaum, say con fidently that the son of the household is the thief for whom they are seek ing. He is only about 23 years old, a graduate of one of the leading uni versities and a well-known figure at the social functions of the younger set. His motive for the theft is believed to be the necessity of maintaining the appearance of having a large income during his engagement to a wealthy young" woman in society. His own fam ily is opposed to the match and has limited his allowance hence his desire to be able to have more money than otherwise would be available in order to keep up his florists' and tailors' ac counts.
