BUM RELATES - HOW KENDRICK 1 DISMISSED HIM Effort to Induce Mayor to Padlock Hotels Is His Undoing. Editor's Note—This is the twentye.lKhtn installment. of General Butlers story of his work as head of Philadel phis police and his dismissal early this year. The articles will appear daily. The Times owns exclusive rights to the ar tides in this territory. By Smedlcy I). Butler Monday, Dec. 21, 1026, my mind was made up to return to the Marines. Then something happened. Superintendent of Police Mills reported that the management of the Hotel -Walton had asked about opening up for New Year’s eve. The management said the mayor had told them to go ahead and dance without a license, that he, the mayor, would grant them one as soon as I left, which would be at midnight, Dec. 31. The hotel management wanted to learn from Mills whether they would be closed for dancing without a license. The superintendent said they would. I was told that efforts would bo made to get rid of me before Christmas, on a vacation or some other pretext, so that things could open up for the holidays. That made me mad. I decided to press the entire hotel situation immediately—in an effort to clean up |the job in the few remaining days. Asks About Padlocks I wrote two letters to the mayor. The first letter Inquired aa to the status of the revocation of the license of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, which I had requested Nov. 1(5. The second referred to the RitzCarlton Hotel padlocking, and was in part as follows: "I feel that the department of pub-

I felt I owed a duty to the honest and loyal police. Yet I didn't want to leave the Marines. That was my life—soldiering, then again. I recalled the pleas of the mayor that I remain; that he would be lost without me; that he really wanted me now. By midnight my mind was made up. T was going to sacrifice my career in the Marines, give up my rank and niy pension, to remain in Philadelphia—to finish the job. A few minutes later a newspaperman telephoned to ask about another matter and I told him of my decision. The next morning a story appeared that T would re-sign from the Ma rine Corps. The mayor read, virtually stmul taneously, my twd letters pressing him for action on the hotels and my decision to remain in Philadelphia. Mayor In Dilemma He was In a dilemma.

Director Elliot with me, I went to his office, convinced he was about to thank me for deciding to remain. * The following memorandum, die fated and signed jointly by EUloi and myself, tells the story of what happened: "After greeting us, the mayor turned to me and said: “ ‘General, what is all this in the morning papers?' ‘Mr. Mayor, I will tell 1 replied, ‘you were away from the city last night and 1 could not get in touch with you to notify you. I made a last effort to see the President but he declined and I received a letter from his secretary In whjch he said any further conference will be of no use. Hast night I decided to resign.’ Disrespect Charged ‘‘The mayor said: ‘Don't you realize that you are not treating me, the mayor of the city, with proper respect by making these arrangements without consulting me? “ ‘T don't want you as a resigned officer,’ he added. 'I have made all arrangements to put George Elliott in your place.”’ A few hours later I received a written request for my resignation I answered, asking the reason for such a request. At noon the next day. after I had voluntarily turned ove,r the office to Elliott, as ordered, I received the following letter of dls missal from the mayor: ‘‘Your letter of Dec. 22, Inquiring why I request your resignation and would relieve you from duty, is re celved.

The Dismissal "As you have failed to comply with my request for your resignation. I hereby dismiss you as director of public safety, the dismissal to take effect at 12 noon today. You will turn over your department to assistant director Elliott.” My last official act was to write to the mayor, as follows: “When I was induced to accept this office, by your promise to back me to the limit in law enforcement, T believed you meant what you said, and that you sincerely desired Impartial law' enforcement against aIL violators, big and little, rich amU poor. You have not Interfered In the enforcement against powerless violators or those in whom you are not Interested, but when you balked and directed your city solicitor not to proceed with the padlocking proceedings against the Ritz-Carlton, against which establishment there was as much and as vicious evidence as against tt>ry other places we have closed, and when you refused to revoke th“ dance licenses of the big hotels, such as the Ritz-Carlton, Bellevue Stratford and the Walton, controlled by your friends, and on evidence as amazing as has caused the revocation of many other licenses, all of which action was urgently recommended by me and when on Dec. 21,1 again pressed you to act and Indicated that I would find the means of doing so If you did not —you. on Dec. 22, dismissed me from office.
