Executive to Oust ;the —— PHILADELPHIA, May 25.—The bitter feeling that has been engendered by the gas lease, fight was intensified to-day, | when Mayor Weaver practically ejected from the office of the Department of Pyblic Safety and Public Works his two former directors and again installed the men appointed by him on Tuesday night, The news created much excitement in the City Hall and on the political Rialto, and nearly all that were interested - sembled in the vicinity of the Mayor's office to learn of the next move. This came guickly, but from an unex- pected quarter—the State Supreme Couyrt. When the Mayor was ordering his old directors out of their offices his attor- neys appeared in the Supreme Cofirt and obtained a speclal supercedeas suspend- ing the temporary injunction granted to the old directors yesterday by the Coun- ty Court. A dramatic incident of the day was the great ovation given Mayor Weaver by thousand persons on his way from the City Hall to the sUnion League for luncheon. A rumer that the Mayor is to be im- For what offense was not clearly defined. One story had it that he would be brought before:the bar of the City Council for his conduct of an election fraud case while he was and another rumor had it that he was to be made to answer for some alleged lapse of duty while in his present position. All attempts to con- | firm the tmpeachment rumor failed. The ‘organization” leaders say they continue to “stand pat” on the gas lease and that their ranks are solid. On the other hand, Mayor Weaver amnounced to-day that he had assurances that the vote in both Council chambers when his veto is considered would be changed ma- terially from last week's vote. The Councilmen who favor the gas lease are having a'hard time of it. They are being swamped with protests, and delegations of neighbors are calling on them at thelr homes and places of busi- ness or holding them up in the streets. It is reported to-day that President Roosevelt would be asked to issue a special warning to Federal employes to keep out of the gas lease fight. Foes of the ‘“organization” say that Gov- ernment employes are bringing pres- sure to bear upon Councilmen and that, 'if it continue, a delegatibn of citizens will go to Washington to see the President.
