IMY?R PEIJIT WILL RESIGN
His Disagreeable Position in Police
Board the Cause,
Mis Honor Interviewed Last Night by a
Virginian Reporter, He Will Not
Say Anything to Cause Further
III Feeling Between Himself
and the Commissioners.
Mayor Charles W. Pettit, the official
bead of tho niuuicipnl government, has
decided tu resign his uffioe aud retire
to tho uiauagemeut of hia trausporta
tiou liuo to North Carolina and his
machine works iu this city.
Hut tho most etnrtliug feature of the
etory, nt.d thi stiilemeut is made by
those who urc in u position to know, ia
that Mayor I'otlit's successor is to bo
no less a person thau Muj. D. Hum
f)hreys,wbo,it iaalleged has beeu itchiu?
lor the official control of tho city.
Major Humphreys is a well known
figure iu local politics und was a prom?
inent factor iu tho l'rohihition move
tneut iu the last municipal campaign.
Mho. reason for Major Pettit'a pro?
posed withdrawal from otlioiul life
would appear ou tho face of thiugs to
Le that he needed uiuto time for the
??onduot of his large private business
elfuirs, but utiothtr und possibly the
principal reosou ia giveu below.
TUB MAVOi: BliKN AT IIIS HOME.
Mayor Pettit was seen at his resi?
dence ou D?ke street by a Virginian
reporter last night, lio slated that
the fucth given iu a previous inti<rviow
ou tho same subject with u reporter of
tliis paper were correct, but he did
dot desire to bo interviewed ou the
ground that it would only cause
greater ill-fouling between Inmuelf uud
{jominiseiouors Verdior and Holtou.
lie stated that ho und seriously con?
templated resigning for u loug time
and would do ao very shortly ou ao
count of the disagreeable relations be
tween himself aud the other members
of the Police Board.
The following is a more dotailed
statement of tho cause for his action,
which The Virginian has gathered
Ironi all souroes aud which, it believes,
is substantially correct:
Ever siuuo he accepted the ollieo ho
bos had trouble with his colleagues on
the Police Hoard, and had he eeou his
way clear to do bo he would have re
tigtied long ago.
The only difficulty iu the way of hia
doing so was that he knew that if he
resigned Muj. 1). Humphreys would
audoubtedly bo the man who would be
called to .succeed him, as ha knew that
be has been nu aspirant tor tho ollicu
aiuco the election.
WANT A RADIOAIl HATORi
Hie conferos iu the Police Hoard
bave plainly let him know that they
wonted a man with more rad?
ical views of reform thau he pos
aessed. Por rcusous best known to him
?elf the Mayor believes that they
find Major Humphreys iu mind when
thoy made these strong hints. The
conservative element of tho party
Knowing Major ilumphrevH radical
Ideas did uot deem it for the best in?
terests of the party that tho Mayor
ehould rcdigu und give Major Hum?
phreys: an opportunity to bu elected
ouct they have urged the Mayor to
stund fast to his colors.
it is stated upon the best authority
that Messrs. Verdier and Holtou have
repeatedly ollered iiH'routs to the
Mayor in his privuto office, aud that ho
bus considered himself too much of a
Christian and a gentleman to resent
these arVrotits, and thai ho could uot
resent them without a serious loss to
bis dignity, which lie did uot feol
oallod tipou to tiudergo.
Iu the Police Hoard meetings, it is
alleged, they have laughed at his sug?
gestions aud. it is said, appointed meu
on tho police force to suit their ends,
ngi?Dst bis emphatic protests, who were
thought by him uot lit to be iu auy
Official position.
HE HAS BKCOMR TIRED.
Now he has become tired of tbo ini
Eertinonce and contempt heaped upon
im and Ihu outrageous manner iu
which ho bus buuu niisrepresoutod to
the public.
Ho had determined to resign and
very shortly. One conservative Pro?
hibitionist believed that if the oxtreruo
radical element of tho Prohibition pur
ty iu Norfolk oloot Maj. Humphreys
Mayor, to succeod Mayor Pettit, ho
together with tho other Commissioners
will within a week cause in this city
the gteutost popular upheaval against
themselves aud their party that Nor?
folk has ever seen,
Mayor Pettit'a friends, both Demo
cratio and Prohibitionists, have urged
|iim to retain his otlioe, but with him
talienee has ceased to bo a virtaro and
o will now resign.
