Refuses TO Answer the
Questions Tending TO Show
Where He Made His Money-When
Democracy Placed Men in office
They We're TO Obey Leaders
Expected TO Be Befriended.

New York, April 14.-Richard Cro-
ker was On the stand today before the
Mazet investigating committee. Mr.
Croker gave events a somewhat dra-
matte turn when, aa-er refusing to
answer several questions concerning
his private affairs, he held up his right
hand and said, impressively IF you
can show me where have taken a
single dollar from m'this city you can cut
that arm off" Continuing Mr.. Croker
said that when the democrats placed
men in office, the party expected to
have those men do what the party lead
ers asked them to do. He had himself
recommended the appointment Of va
rious officials and the distribution OF
patronage
The matter that Mr. Moss gave
most attention to was Mr. Croker's
connection with the auctioneering bus
mess conducted by Peter F. Meyer, by
whom the majority of judicial sales
were conducted. Mr.. Croker said he
had been a member of the firm for
some years and as true democrat he
expected to be be-friended in the way
of profit from the sales.
"Then you are working for your
pocket?" SAID Mr. Moss.
CAN the time, 'the same as you are,''
retorted the witness.
sTo the boss belongs the lions
share" sneered Mr. Moss
mot plunder, no. said Mr. Croker.
''You can call it what you like You
can call bill you send to the legisla-
ture for the work you are new doing.
plunder, if you please" There was
loud applause at this.
Mr.. Croker told the committee it was
customary for candidates in Office to
contribute to election expenses and
stated also that contributions had been
as high as $4,000 or $4,000. He said
contributions were not compulsory.
Perhaps the most interesting part of
the Investigation today was that in
which Mr. Croker was questioned
closely as to how he had made his
money. Mr.. Croker refused to tell OF
his private affairs but admitted that he
was member OF several companies
He said: 1--we got nothing to con-
ceal. If anyone comes to me with a
good stock to buy, buy it, and SO
would you 1 will not go into details OF
my private business"
Mr. Moss endeavored to induce Mr..
Croker to give further information on
the subject of money making. but the
witness simply refused to go into de-
tails. Incidentally Mr.. Croker praised
Chief Devery and the police depart
ment and was on the stand when the
hearing adjourned.

INSTRUCTIONS AGREED UPON.
The Work for tha Joint Commission
Fully Laid Out.

Washington, April 14.-After hear
ing this morning from the British and
German embassies the state depart
ment WAS able to announce positively
and finally that the parties to the Ber-
lin traaty had agreed upon Instructions
to be given their Samoan commission
ers and that it was certain that the
commissioners would leave San Fran
cisco on the 25th inst for Samoa on the
Badger. 81
The instructions TO the commission
ers are identical, the three govern
ments having accepted a form which
cCqrlDriseA the differences which have
existed Up to this time. The commits
sion will be 5mpowe. ed to deal with the
situation as it finds it in the Samoan
islands upon its arrival This applies
to acts necessary to place the affairs of
the island in a peaceful and satisfac-
tory condition for the time being, but
whatever the commission does in this
direction is understood to be of tenn
porary character and subject to the
approval CT the three Powers.
AS to the merits of the bitter contro-
versy between the representatives of
the powers on the islands which led up
to the unfortunate outbreak of April /,
the commissioners are expected to
make a thorough and impartial investi-
CATION and report the results to their
respective governments. The latter
will by ordinary diplomatic exchange
apply any corrections that seem to be
necessary The commissioners will
have no power to alter the treaty OF
Berlin. They may make rec2mmenda-
tions to that end and where they are
unanimous it is probable that their
recommendations will be accepted FOR
the changes in the treaty.

Germans in recognizing the provisional

To Admiral Kautz, upon his arrival,
