DIRECTORS POT OUT ? ?* ? ? By Philadelphia Mayor for the Second Time in Gas Lease Fight. CONGRATULATED UPON STAND Given a Great Ovation by Thousands of People as He Passed Along the Streets ? Rumors Current That He Is to Be impeached. Philadelphia, May 26. ? The bitter feeling that has been engendered by the gas lease fight was intensified when Mayor Weaver practically eject ed from the offices of the departments of public safety and public works his two former directors and again in stalled the men appointed by him on Tuesday night. The action of the mayor was the most sensational move that he has .vet made. The moment the news flashed through the great city building that the old directors were out and the new men in rumors flew thick and fast that a wholesale dismissal of bureau chiefs and other official? was about to occur. The news o tated considerable excitement in the *\y hall, and nearly all that were interested assembled in the vi cinity of the mayor's office to learn of the next move. This came quickly, but from an unexpected quarter ? the state supreme court. While the mayor was ordering his old directors out of their offices his attorneys ap peared in the supreme court and ob tained a special supercedas suspend ing the temporary injunction granted to the old directors by the county court. Another dramatic incident of the day was the great ovation given Mayor Weaver by several thousand per?!ons while on his way from city hall to the Union League for lunch. It was a sensational demonstration and was looked upon by those opposed to the lease as an indication of the trend of popular sentiment. Rumor of Impeachment. In the thick of the fight came the story, but from where no one appears to know, that the maVor is to be im peached. For what particu'ar offense was not clearly defined. One rumor had it that he would be brought be fore the bar of city councils for his conduct of an election fraud case while he was district attorney and another rumor had it that he was made to answer for some alleged lapse of duty while in his present position The situation is daily growing more dense. In all sections of the city the reform organizations and the news papers have aroused citizens to take a hand in the fight. The councilman who favor the gas lease are having a hard time of it. They are being swamped with protests and dela tions of neighbors arp calling on them at their homes or places of business or are holding them up on the streets. Many reply that they are for the lease so long as the peerless leader, as Com missioner Durham is affectionately called by the organization men. is for it It is reported that President Roose velt will be asked to issue a special warning to federal employes to keep out of the gas lease fight. It is charg ed by some of the anti-gas lease peo ple that the organization is calling upon federal officeholders to use their influence with councilmen in behalf of the gas lease. This is denied by or ganization leaders. Leaders against the organization say that they know that the government employes are bringing pressure to bear on the coun cilmen and that if it continues a dele gation of citizens will go to Washing ton to see the president. Mayor Receives Congratulations. Mayor Weaver is receiving hun dreds of letters and telegrams of con gratulation. Among those he made public were these. "I congratulate you on the firm stand you have taken in behalf of the people. EDWARD P. DCNNE, "Mayor of Chicago." "Your stand against corruption thrills all decent Republicans. This club bids you God speed in your course and adds that such acts as yours rank you with Roosevelt, La FbUette and .Folk as a public benefactor. "FRANKLIN SMITH, "Republican Club, Thirty-first Assem bly District, New York City." As a result of the agitation against the lease three select and six common councilmen have now announced tiiat they would change their votes on the lease. This would make the vote in ? elect council stand 34 for the lease l ml 8 against, and in common council ?JS for and 15 against. It takes a two ihirds vote to pass an ordinance over the mayor's veto. John C. Winston, a* rhairman of the committee of seventy, has engaged Joseph C. Auerbach. a New York awyer, to represent the committee in its fight against the gas lease. "We are going further .then the mayor." said Mr. Winston. "He simply wants to straighten out his .Ip- i partments. We are going to invesri I i;ate c:vic matters and will stir up t lie | city. When we have finished therp will 'be a stench that will rcach to heaven." Confesses Himself a Murderer. Bowling Green. O.. May 26. ?
