ImM&MM&ti WEAVER SEES CLEVER TRICK LETTEB TO SHERIFF IS CAUSE FOR STATEMENT. Philadelphia Mayor Warns Public Against RuseCrusade to Be Pushed. Philadelphia, June 1&.Mayor Weav er Saturday issued a statement bear ing upon the letter signed by 21 busi ness men and addressed to Sheriff Miles, chairman of the republican city committee, urging the committee to reform the republican party. The let ter suggested that new nominations be made for the fall election. The mayor's statement is as follows: "I know nothing about this move ment, neither as to its origin nor its purpose. It is a trivial interposition at this time. Some of the gentlemen whose names appear on the address I am sure cannot have understood the true significance and the possible ef fect of their action.

This is not a contest over a sheriff and coroner, and I shall not permit it to be reduced to such a lame and impotent conclusion if I +a help it. Therefore, I speak now and thus strongly in order that the true friends of municipal regeneration and honest government may be on their guard against either subtle or misleading efforts as would divert the issue, betray the cause, and possibly save for further evil the parent souree of 'All our woes.'

The mayor's advisers are urging upon him the most drastic action against men high in the republican^organization, and prepara- Clothing Dep't. Suits of every shape and style and for every occasion.
