By the Associated Press.
New YORK, Dec. 24.-The Morning
Advertiser tomorrow will say: Richard
Croker yesterday denounced Congress-
man Bourke Cochran in violent terms.
In an interview at his Broadway office
he said with emphasis:
II have become satisfied that certain
publications about the Tammany Hall
organization and myself have been in
spired by Bourke Ccckrsn, and l have
no hesitation in saying that l believe
he has been going around corners talk
ing about me and acting in way that
sometimes leads one to be termed an in.
ormer. Now. 1 submit that 1t would
be manifestly more manly and more
dignitied for him to come right out be-
lore the executive committee OF TAM
many Hall and say what he has to say.
"a MAN OF BRAINS"
SHE has been term d, or terms him
SELF" continued Mr.. Croker, "a man OF
brains. Now if this man OF brains has
the manhood let him accept my chal-
lenge to come before the committee ana
/ promise to 20 back to one more thing
and face him and discuss these matters
with him. l expect 10 60 to Florida In
about ten days and hope to have the
pleasure of meeting him before then.
Let us see if he can make good the talk
he has made. If he knows 30 much let
him come aud tell the committee. to
whom he owes 80 much OF his promi'
nence."
"What was the original cause OF the
differences between yourself and Mr..
Cockran?" MIR. Croker asked.
ALL WIND.
"That is generally known" was the
reply. "He was disappointed because
he was rot supported by the organiza-
ton for United States senator in 1898
when Mr.. Murphy of Troy was nomi-
mated to succeed Senator His
cock. He was also disappointed
because he was not renominated
for congress this year. He could not
have been elected. He is not resi-
dent OF this city. He ran away from
his district just the way he has run
away from home and his friends. He
lives at Sand Point, L. l., and l do not
think he has been in his district since.
Is it any wonder that any man gets
sick of politics when he has to deal
with such characters? 1t is things like
these that constitute the disagreeable
feature of politics.
Cochran never amounted to any
thing US politician. He is like q west
ern cyclone all wind. Oi all the mem.
bers OF Tammany Hall W no are under
obligations to the organization this man
has proved himself the most ungrateful
for favors obtained. He never con.
tributed cent to his own election or to
the campaign fund of the Democratic
party. He claims to have done great
things for Temmsny. ii he was useful
to it why does he not take hold now,
when it ia in need of a man who can be
useful, and not be playing to the
galleries ?"

A CHEAP ATTRACTION
A THEATRICAL MANAGER LOOK.
ING FOR MADELINE,
The Woman Who Broke the Political
Career of Kentucky's Favored Son
Has Dropped Out OF Sight.

New YORK, Dec. 24.-Madeline Pol
lard, of damage suit fame, is missing.
Manager NJ. G. Anderson OF the Foun-
tain theater. Cincinnati, has been in
New York since Wednesday last, hunt
ing the city from Harlem to the Battery
and from river to river for the woman
who broke the political power OF Col.
W. G. P. Breckenridge.
The fact that Miss Pollard has not
promised to be a sufficient drawing card
for frst-class houass to bill, does not in
the leas. discourage Mr.. Anderson, who
considers that she will be an unusual
drawing card for popular price theatere.
Manager Powers last summer had con.
tract with her for her appearance upon
the stage OF tirst.class houses. He
learned then that the scandal which
clustered about the name of Miss Pol.
lard would make it impossible for her
appearance at fashionable play housee,
and the hope which Misa Pollard then
expressed to appear in public was for a
time shattered.
Now Mr.. Anderson believes Mr.. Pow
ers made mistake liz not trying to bill
her at popular-prics horHes, and as a
result of that belief is exerting every
energy to find her, Night and day since
reaching this city he has been on the
go, but as yet has been unable to loca
her. He is armed with contract which,
if signed by the young woman, will call
for large salary each week.
What he is willing to pay Miss Pol
lard, Mr.. Anderson will not state, but he
intimates that it will not cake her long
to make sum which would compare
favorably with the amount which she is
trying to collect from Colonel Breckin.
ridge. That Miss Pollard is in the city
is certain, but in what particular house
is the mystery. She is no longer known
as Miss Pollard, but has changed her
name to one which suggests nothing OF
what her life has been.
1t was but short time ago that she
obtained O position with large house
in this city GO typewriter. When her
identity was learned she WAS informed
that her services were no longer needed.
Since then she is said to have hidden
her whereabouts from her acqusin.
tRnces. The Cincinnati manager is con.
fident that he can induce Miss Pollard
to sign the contract if he can only find
her,

Superior Court Judge Charges That
Tacoma Has Been swindled.
TACOMA. Dec. 24.-Considerable sur
prise was created today by the filing OF
suit in equity in which John O..
Stsllcup. q superior court judge, is
plaintiff and the city OF Tacoma defend
ant.
The plaintiff alleges that G. B.
Wright. the Philadelphia millionaire,
and the Tacoma Light and Water COM
pany, controlled by him, sold the city
the light and water plant for $780, 900
last year in conseQ uence OF misrepre-
sentation, bribery and other corrupt in
ducements, resulting from conspiracy
between the company and certain city
officials, who at that time had the man
sgement and negotiations under their
control; that the city's bonds issued
in payment therefor increase the city
Indebtedness beyond the constitutional
limit of 5 per cent; that the company's
water rights did not furnish to exceed
half the amount of water represented !;
that for it's $1,750,000 bonds all the
city Got was come rotten wooden fumes
and other msrerisl, and some small bits
OF land and the Maplewood springs.
which, all told, were OF value not to
exceed the sum OF $500 COO; that Wright
and the water company are rich and
fully able to reimburse any who may
have purchased of him such light and
water bonds.
Wherefore plaintiff prays that he be
granted decree against the city, ,perpet-
uslly enjoining said defendant from pay
ing any further or additional interest
upon said bonds delivered to said
Wright and said Tacoma Light and
Water company. and that its agents,
servants ana officers and employees be
prohibited from levying or attempting
to levy or collect any taxes from the
Taxpayers of the city of Tacoma for the
purpose of paying any interest on said
bonds, or taking any steps looking
thereto.
The persons bringing this suit are not
sustained or supported by the public
sentiment of the city by any consider
able number of taxpayers. A large ma.
jority Of city taxpayers declare the city's
obligations will be paid as they fall due.
as in all times past, whatever the re-
cult OF this suit may be.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September ID
Senator Faulkner returned here to-day
from New York, feeling very much en-
couraged at the outlook for the Demo-
cratic congressional candidates In that
State. The Senator says that while
there are differences among the Demo-
Gratis OF New York, the differences
among the Republicans are much more
bitter, and that on the whole the former
are ia much better shape than the lat
ter. He has no fear that the Democrats
OF New York will lose more than two or
three congressional seats, In districts
which have always been acknowledged
TO be Republican.
Senator Camden, who ~ still here,
seems TO have no misgivings whatever
about the result Of the legislative con-
tests in West Virginia. He Is confident
the Democrats will have a safe working
majority In the Legislature and pre-
diets that the delegation in the next
Congress will be solidly Democratic. He
has no fear that the Republicans Will
carry any OF the districts.

ing quite III when he returned here
from his district few days ago, has
developed symptoms Of fever, causing

generally got promises at home out Of
voters who needed no watching on en-
tsring the booths. With the saloons
closed, the women praying and the best
influences all around, there was a quiet
election with excitement and bitter
feeling st their highest pitch. The
greatest surprise OF the day was the
good order everywhere. There were
soma personal encounters, not as
many as usual at the closely
contested elections. There was, how
ever, great caution to prevent trouble.
Old friends and neighbors had Oeen
having their inning and they wanted
only the voting to-day,
II the Breckenridge men had enforced
their challenge rule strictly, as they
had expected, there would have been
trouble. So closely had the canvassing
and polling been done that the chal-
lengers knew how almestall the Demo
Gratis stood and they could have kept
from voting.
1t was generally understood that Re-
publican managers favored Breckin-
ridge, as they thought in the event OF
mis- nomination their candidate
WOULD NOT BE HOPELESS.
Very few Republicans, however, voted.
As many precincts are long distances
from telegraph offices, the complete re-

much in the lead that 1t will not require
the complete returns TO settle the result.
