CROKER,S RESIGNATION.
There is a String to 1.-THE Seems, How
ever, to Really Desire Division of His
Responsibility.

There is String to It--He seems, How
ever, to Really Desire a Division of His
Responsibility.
NEW YORK, May 7.-Richard Croker
both confirms and denies the truth of
the report of his intention to retire as
leader of Tammany Hall. His very
denial Is, in the form he puts it, a virtual
confirmation. "The reports of my in
tended retirement" he said to-day,
shave started from talks | have had
with members of Tammany Hall. l
have told them what | tell you now,
that desired to be relieved of the re-
sponsibility that rests on me. Iwant to
remain member of Tammany Hall
and do my share of the work. | don't
want to do all the work and be re-
sponsible for it. have been urging on
members of Tammany Hall to appoint
committees for the purpose of relieving
me of the labor have been doing alone,
to divide the work and the responsibility.
l want" he added, "more time for
myself and my business. l want to go
to the races, or to tho country, or any
where please and whenever please.
| want time to go to my business down
town. AS matters are now can't. All
work devolves on me. l must be here
to attend to it. Everybody looks to me
to see that it is done. l can't stand it. If
go away for rest l am criticised or
maligned. Other members of Tammany
Hall goaway for six months and nothing
is said about it. want to have the same
freedom and liberty of action as other
members of Tammany Hail."
4 Then in reply to direct question
after having said all this, Mr.. Croker
declared it was not his intention to re-
tire from the leadership of the organi-
cation. 81 shall talk the matter over
with members of the executive COM
mittee between now and the meeting of
the committee on Thursday, and hope
they will agree to name the committees
! ask for" he said II only want them
to attend to the immense correspondence
and relieve me of details so that l will
be able to get out more"
Now, this is generally regarded as
having the appearance OF an intention
on the part of Mr.. Croker to let himself
down easy. Tammany is now at crisis
in its affairs. Defeat stares it in the face
as at least u strong responsibility. Mr..
Croker would, as things have been, be
held alone responsible for that defeat,
MS his predecessor, John Kelly, was
over dozen years ago. If Mr.. Croker
can seem now to divide his powers with
other members of the organization he
may be able to throw upon them at least
share Of the responsibility for defeat
and will be able to say that he had
virtually retired from the leadership
months before the election. If en- the
other hand there is victory, he can
claim to have directed the campaign
behind the scenes. The prevailing
opinion is that Mr.. Croker is taking the
first steps toward permanent retirement
from leadership. He has been in active
politics for 80 years, he has become rich,
he has taken keen interest in racing,
he owns fine stable Of horses and if
he wants to retire he can do so now, at
the meridian of his success, without the
record of single defeat behind him.

He had been ailing for some time. A
year or SO ago he experienced severe

however, continued his official duties
and had relapse. He went to Ashe-
vile, N. O., but the disease had taken
such complete hold upon him that the
good effects of his trip did him no
permanent advantage. He found it
necessary to resign his position. Since
that time he has been rapidly failing.
Mr.. Palmer was born in this city 80
years ago. After finishing course of
studies in the public schools here he
went to Lehigh University where he
graduated in 1888. He was remarkable

football and baseball.
His first professional employment as
civil engineer was with the Diamond
State Iron Co., and later he connected
himself with the Pennsylvania railroad.
He was elected to succeed City Engineer
George II. Boughman two years ago.

Palmer of this city and also of Charles
B. Palmer, connected with various
newspapers of the city, and now taking
a course at Harvard University.
Mr.. Palmer leaves q wife and one
child. The funeral will be held on Fri

THE COAL REGION STRIKES.
Wilmington Dealers Not Anected-Con
fiscatiOn of Coal.

wilmington Dealers Not AiIected--Con-
iscatiOn of Coal.
The strikes in the coal regions have
not effected the Wilmington coal dealers
as yet, but they are affecting the Balti-
more g. Ohio railroad.
The dealers anticipated the strikes
and wisely sent in their orders early.
Now their yards are we'll stocked with
bituminous coal. There is only one
thing they have to fear and that is the
spread of the strikes to the anthracite
regions, in which case, it is said, there
would be a coal famine here.
The b. & o. has run out of coal and
on Monday was compelled to issue
orders for the confscation of coal being
shipped over its road. Joseph II. Good
ing had six carloads coniiscated and
other Wilmington dealers were treated
similarly. The railroad people explained
that they have 450 loaded cars on their
road and they must have coal to move
them. This action on the part of the
railroad men created surprise but did not
cause any i'll feeling.

COMMENCEMENT EQUIPMENT"
DR.. Murray's Lecture at the Wilmington
Commercial College.


An interesting lecture, entitled "Com-
mencement Equipment" was delivered at
Goldey Wilmington Commercial College
Tuesday afternoon by the Rev. w. l.. s.
Murray, ID. d., of Dover. The attendance
was large.
The original thought Of commencement,
DIR. Murray said, was that all examina-
tons had been made and that the candi-
dates were ready to begin their college
course. The present thought is that
the work in college has been done
and the graduates are now ready to
begin business career. Under this
consideration commencement equip
ment ought to have first of all capacity.
There ought to be ability Of body, mind
and heart to carry forward the enterprises
selected. The mental equipment ought to
be trained mind. The heart equipment
onght to be an honest purpose adhered TO
in matters both small and great.
lie had asked business man yester-
day what was the greatest need of young
man going in business, and the reply
was honesty above all things. To this
Dir. Murray added energy, ambition and
economy. There needs to be- also capital of
ones own or that OF another. Money is
power. Ii young man has money he has
power. He is independent in proportion
to his means dependent in proportion to
borrowing. Vet there are grand oppor-
tunities for young men. although poor, to
furnish brain and Drawn, while others
furnish the money for the pursuance of
business, and there really seems to be a
premium on poor young men.

PETE KLINE'S STORY
Said to Have Been Sold By Him
For $500.
APPEARED IN SUNDAYS PAPERS
Pete Writes a Letter in Which He
says the state Administration Bum
coed Him Out or @4,5OO.

The Kansas City Times, Kansas City
Star and other papers, yesterday morn
ing published a three-cOlumn letter from
Peter w. Kline, the Kansas City, Kan.
lottery man. in which he told in detail
how he had paid money to the Populist
administration for protection to the
Louisiana lottery with the understanding
that the other lotteries were to be sup
pressed The story was offered to the
Kansas City Journal, but it refused to
publish it.
Kline says he paid $4,000 to Fred
Close, who represented Governor Lewell-
ing. and that Attorney General Little got
$4,000 of this money.
Governor LewelIing and General Lit
tie are at Olathe today. and Fred Close
is at Lebanon, Smith county.
Secretary Semple of the POpulist state
central committee, says this Pete Kline
letter is what Kline and Nels Acers tried
to get the Populists to hire them to sup
press ten days ago.
Nels Acres came to Topeka about ten
days ago and had an interview with Fred
Close. in which he said it would be
good thing if the administration would
have a letter suppressed which the Re
publican state central committee was
trying to get hold Of Acers told Close
what the letter contained, and be said he
would not give him SO to suppress it.
Acers then went Attorney General
not give him 10 cents to suppress it
Acers then went down to Kansas City
and sent Jim Legate down to Medicine
Lodge TO see Jerry Simpson. Legate
tried to get Jerry to use his influence to
get the state administration TO suppress
the letter. but the administration
could not be induced 20 put up
any money to suppress the lottery. Sec
rotary Semple says they did not consider
the information in the letter worth sup
pressing, and, anyway, they had infor-
nation that since the first of August the
Republican committee had been trying
to get Kline to write such a letter for use
in the campaign, for which they we're to
pay him $500. Semple says, however,
that Nels Acers and Jim Legate never
specified what amount they wanted to
suppress Kline's letter
Kline was in Topeka several days last
week and the deal by which his letter
passed into the hands of the Republican
state central committee was made at the
Copeland.
II is said that the committee paid $5fiO
for the letter, although Secretary Bris-
tow denies that the letter cost the COM
mittee ANYTHING.
