CROKER ATTACKS ROOSEVELT.
Declares That When He Was Police
Commissioner Murderers Went
Innunished.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Richard Croker. at
the Democratic Club tonight, made Il fierce
attack on Colonel Roosevelt for things he
did and other things that We're not done
while he was president of the police hoard.
He assailed Colonel Roosevelt for devoting
himself to minor crimes, while murders
went unavenged, and reminded Frank Moss
that the former police commissioner might
better talk of a legacy of unpunished crime
than about .'wide-open'' city which, the
Tammany leader says, does not exist.
Il believe" said Mr.. Croker, that Frank
Moss succeeded Theodore Roosevelt as
president of the police board He. there
unpunished crimes that was bequeaIheq
him. He talks of .wide-open New York; [
would like to direct his attention TO the
New York of Roosevelts day and his own,
with which be seems to be unfamiliar.
He seems to have forgotten that when
the Roosevelt police board was hunting
women with the aid of policemen in hired
dress suits; when children of tender age
were being employed to induce saloonkeep-
ers to violate the law. murder after muir
der was committed. and through the huriy-
burly of Roosevelts fanatical policy nearly
every murderer escaped.
Tho largest political gathering that ever
took place in Queensborough was the DEM
ocratic meeting in the Puritan Athletic
Club building at Long Island City tonight.
The arena seats 1000 persons and not only
were all the chairs taken. but the aiSleS
were crowded and two overflow meetings
were held. 1t is estimated that from 10000
to u, 900 persons were present. Perry Bel
mont presided. Among the speakers were
Elliott Danforth, Maurice Holahan and
Senator Grady.
speaker tonight at great mass meeting
in Cooper Union, under the Joint auspices
of the German-American Republican CEN
tral committee and the Roosevelt League
of German-American Independents. The
hall was crowded to its capacity and the
gathering was 4 most enthusiastic one. Be
fore going to Cooper Union tonight to ad
dress the Germans, Colonel Roosevelt made
a tour of YonkerS and the upper part of
the city speaking in Morrisania hall and
in Cosmopolitan park. Five thousand peo-
pie packed themselves into Morrisania hall
before the colonel arrived. More than
twice that number were unable to get into
the hall and the enthusiasm on the street
was fully as great within.
At Cosmopolitan park Colonel Roosevelt

a newly arrived guest to room No. on
the second floor at IL o'clock last night he
found the door locked. He opened 1t and
was almost stified by the gas which poured
into the hallway. When he was able to
make his way in he stumbled over the
dead body of c. A. Carlson, n business
man of Colby, Kas. A light was brought
and it was then discovered that Mrs. Carl

when Carlson returned. 1t was evident
to the proprietor that Carlson was in
toxicated. a few words were exchanged
and Carlson then proceeded to his room.
little later the proprietor, fearing that
some disaster might occur, went to No.
3. Finding the door locked and everything
quiet he made no further Investigation.
Yesterday morning the chambermaids
the guests did not wish to be disturbed.
In the afternoon a new set of chamber
maids went on duty and did not enter
the room, because they believed that 1t had
already been attended to. That is why
the bodies were not discovered until late
last evening. 1t was likely that Carlson
had turned on the gas soon after enter
ing the room and had forgotten to light it.
When he had undressed he probably tried
to walk to the bed. but was overcome by
the gas before he could do So
When this discovery was made Police
man Marshall was called to the hotel and
he informed the coroner, who took charge
of the bodies Mr. and Mrs. Carlson reg
istered Sunday morning. Mrs Carlson re-
tired early and was doubtless asleep when
Mr.. Carlson came into the room.

THE KAISER IN JERUSALEM.
Raises Flag Over Abode of Virgin
Mary and Dedicates Church
of the Redeemer.

JERUSALEM, Nov. EMPEROR William
proceeded to Mount Zion yesterday. where
occurred the ceremony of hoisting the Ger
man and Turkish flags on piece of
ground which, according to tradition, was
formerly occupied by the abode of the
Virgin Mary and which the sultan pre-
sented to the German emperor. The lat
ter subsequently formally presented the
ground to the German Catholics.
Emperor William has teleSraphed to the
pope, saying:
Il am happy to be able to inform your
holiness that thanks to the benevolent in
tervention of his majesty the sultan, who
has not hesitated to give me this proof of
MS personal friendship, have been able
to acquire at Jerusalem the abode of the
Holy Virgin. L have decided to place this
ground, consecrated by SO many pious
memories, at the disposal of my Catholic
10 prove how dear 10 me are the religious
interests of the Catholics whom Divine
Providence has placed in my care. l beg
sincere attachment"
The pope replied. thanking his majesty
and expressing satisfaction at the gift. for
which he was sure the German Catholics
would be deeply grateful.
The emperor, at the close of the cere-
mony of consecrating the Church of the
Redeemer here, read an address, during
which he said:
From Jerusalem came the light in splen-
dor from which the German nation became
great and glorious, and what the Germanc
peoples have become they became under
the banner of the cross, the emblem of self
sacrificing charity.
As nearly 1900 years ago, so to-day shall
I ring the cry, voicing my ardent hope, 10
all peace on earth
His ma jesty then renewed the vow of his
ancestors, saying:
Il and my house will serve the Lord
The emperor called upon all present to
make the same VOW, concluding with d
prayer that God grant that confidence in
the Almighty, brotherly love, resignation
in suffering and efficient work may remain
the German nations noblest ornament and
that the spirit of peace may more and more
penetrate and hallow the evangelical
church,
The conservation ceremony at the Church
of the Redeemer was attended with the
greatest pomp. Early in the morning huge
crowds began to collect to witness the i'm
perial cortege. The route was lined with
Turkish troops and German sailors.
Emperor William and the empress drove
to the Tower of Babel. from which point
they walked to the church, the emperor in
the white uniform of the German guard,
and the empress in a gray costume, both
wearing numerous decorations. AS their
majestes entered the church the organ
pealed forth a triumphal march, amid the
strains of which they passed to the altar,
preceded by the officiating clergy bearing
the sacramental insignia. The church was
filed with uniformed officials.
In the course of the service, which was
very impressive, Emperor William read the
constitution of the church and expressed
the hope that the ministratouS there would
be followed by the divine blessing.

A VERY YOUNG PLAINTIFF.
Frank McMurray. Years Old, SninE
the c., NJ. & st. =. for the
Loss of a Leg,

Little 6-year-old Frank McMurray, Grip
pie, hobbled around the court house yester-
day waiting for his damage suit against
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way Company to come to trial. He is prob
ably the youngest plaintiff that ever ap-
peared IN a suit in the circuit court. Every
body stopped him and had something kindly
to say to the little man
His father was at the court house with
him and whenever the father went from
one courtroom to another the little brown
eyed fellow went. swinging along behind on
one leg and a crutch.
The child was crossing the tracks at
Twenty-second and Oak streets when the
train caught him. After the train had
passed. leaving him with but one leg, the
little fellow crawled to a pile of rails near
the track, clambered to the top of it and
finally managed to attract the attention of
his mother at the house not far away.
He is suing for 1889. and his father asks
for like amount. His case went to the
foot of the docket.

VOLUNTEERS NOT SATISFACTORY
FOR GARRISON DUTY.
MAKE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS
CONGRESS WILL BE URGED TO RE-
ORGANIZE THE ARMY.
President and Secretary of War Now
Have IL Plan Under Considera-
tiOn-Natiyes of Cuba and
Other Islands May Be
Enlisted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The request of
the First Colorado infantry to be returned
from Manila to the United States cannot
be granted by the war department. 1t
was stated by officers of the army to-day
that such requests had been frequent from
soldiers of volunteer organizations who EN-
listed to fight, but did not enlist for gar
rison duty The desire of this regiment
to return home was simply the desire of
other volunteers, and nothing can be done
the officers say, until congress meets and
provides some kind OF a force to take the
place of the volunteers.
The subject of reorganizing the army with
a view to securing an adequate force for
the new possessions of the United States
has already received the serious conSid-
Grafton of the president, the secretary of
war and officers of the army. The presi-
dent will make recommendations TO con-
gress on this subject, embodying his views
and the views of those who are in position
TO give him the very best advice. 1t is
probable that he will recommend an in
crease of the army to something like 100.
900 men, although this is not certain, and
he may think that 1000 is enough.
There has been some talk, also, of en-
listing for garrison duty two companies or
a battalion of natives to each regiment
doing garrison duty in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. 1t is believed that,
by this method, considerable portion of
the restless population of the islands, and
especially those who have been bearing
arms in the insurgent or Spanish armies,
could be kept quiet and lawabidinS.
1t is stated by officers of the army that
the duties devoIving upon the troops un-
der the new order of things cannot be sat
isfactory to volunteers, and that an army
will have to be provided which will go
where it is sent without complaints of any
kind. Men who enlist in the regular army
hereafter will understand that they are
likely TO be called upon any time to so
out of the country and to garrison dis
tant lands, for long periods 1t is believed
that the demands which have been made
upon senators and representatives for the
muster out of volunteer regiments and the
discharge of volunteers in regiments
which have remained in the service has
been SO great that they will be convinced
that a regular army for garrison duty in
the new possessions is an absolute neces-
