NEW YORK, Sept. .-The relationship between Mayor Gaynor and the New Tork police department, the mayor's at titude on the city's so-called vice and excise problems, and the extent to which ,1 the department followed his public ' declarations of his attitude, formed the boeys of, a relentless cross-examination undergone by Police Commissioner Waldo today in the trial of Cornelius G. Hayes, an inspector suspended on charges of making false statements during an Interview on 'the Rosenthal, murder, re flecting on the commissioner, ', Thomas Thacher, Hayes' counsel, thwarted in his efforts to read into the record the mayor's utterances on the vice problem,' finally gained recognition from 'the trial commissioner, Douglas I. McKay, by this declaration: - r ... "I am merely trying to prove that Mayor Gaynor' s policy was one under which the social evil was recognized as an unconquerable problem, which had to be endured, but : that the evil had to present a front of outward decency; that In the failure of Inspector Have to raid disorderly houses he was merely reflect ing this policy and any orders issued to him by Police Commissioner Waldo were directly in violation of that policy.-. , No Orders from Gaynor. Mr. Thatcher was then permitted to proceed with his cross-examination along the lines he desired. ' , " ' "Does not Mayor Gaynor direct your policy toward vice?'' " "He does not," snapped the commis sioner.'' '' . i ;' "Has Mayor Gaynor ever instructed you how to deal with disorderly houses?" J "He has never given me any instruc tions on that subject." , - ' - . "As a matter, of fact, you didn't ex pect' Hayes to raid disorderly houses .withm his. district, now did .you?': ' ; ; expected nlnr te-Tald' every disor derly house as to whose operations he could obtain evidence. , . " . " ' "YqiI knew, didn't ydv that disorderly houses had flourished for six months in Inspector Hayes' district; that these houses were operating every day and that they were not being raided?' "Yes, I knew it I knew that disorderly houses had been flourishing in that dis trict for a year. But I presumed that Inspector Hayes was making every ef fort he could to close them up." - Waldo Questions Inspector. Commissioner Wa-.do testified that he had called before him on August 16 the various Inspectors to ascertain which one of them if any had given an anonymous interview published that day to the ef fect that orders had been given by Waldo that no disorderly houses should be raided without Ws Instruction. . "Inspector Hayes then told me that he understood his orders were not to raid Jieorderly houses without specific instruc tions from me," Commissioner Waldo continued. "Had you ever given him such orders?" asked Terrenes Farley, assistant corpora tion counsel, representing s the depart ' ment "He was never given any instructions of that character In any form whatso ever," Commissioner Waldo replied.

Judicial Election Statute of South Dakota Attacked PIERRE, S. V.. Sept. .-(Spectal.)-The sensation of the campaign was sprung here today when Attorney T. H. Hull of Huron appeared before the supreme court today In behalf of William Heeley and asked for an order from the court prohibiting the secretary of state from certifying any Judicial nominations to the county auditors to be placed upon the ballot He alleges that the act of 1901, changing date of Judicial elections, is void. " . - - . : ', The papers, which are carefully drawn, refer to some early territorial history and early statehood history inHaw mak ing, and set forth detailed ' reasons why the application prayed for should be granted. From the time the state was admitted Into the union until 1901, the application says, the judges of the various courts In the state were elected in what Is termed "odd years," and at a time when no general election or election of other officers was . held. The legislature that, met that year enacted a law chang ing the dates so that judges would be elected in the even numbered years. It Is now claimed that the act of 1901, is un constitutional because there Is ao author ity in that instrument for changing, the time of electing judges from the odd year to years of even numbers, or gen eral elections, nor is there any authority in " the constitution for enlarging the terms of the office of -the supreme court Judges from six years to six years and six months, as was don by the act of 1901. V The proposition the supreme court is asked to solve is whether or not supreme judges shall be elected at the election to bo held in November next, or not until 1917. Tho solution Is awaited with inter est, as a question of no small importance to the people of South Dakota Is ' involved.- ' " . ' . . ' The court set September 18 for hearing of the application.
