Mr.. croker AS A WITNESS.
Offers His Arm as a Sacrifice If He
Is Proven Dishonest.
is WORKING FOR HIS POCKET.

New YORK, April ,5-Richard
Croker was on the stand yesterday be-
fore the Mazet Investigating commits
sion, and he will be on the stand again
to-day. John r. Carroll, the Tam
many leaders chief deputy, was also
put through course of questioning.
Judge Joseph f.. DAILY, whom the
Democrats refused to renominate for
justice of the supreme court last fall,
told of his treat ment by Mr. Croker
and Tammany, while other prominent
witnesses contributed testimony that
went to make the day most notable
one in the investigation into the city's
affairs.
The examination of Richard Croker
son of the answers which he returned
to the questions propounded to him
by Mr.. Moss. He was brief and direct
and took advantage of many oppor-
tunities afforded him to retort in
manner that evoked applause many
times from those gathered in the COM
mittee room.
Mr.. Croker gave events a somewhat
dramatic turn, when, after refusing
to answer several questions concern
ing his private affairs, he held up his
right hand and said impressively: "If
YOU can show me where have taken
a single dollar from this city, you can
cut that arm off"
A matter that Mr.. Moss gave atten-
ton to was Mr.. Cookers connection
with the auctioneering business con-
Quoted by Peter +. Meyer, by whom
the majority of the judicial sales are
conducted Mr., Croker sad he had
been a member of the firm for some
years; and, as true Democrat, he ex-
pected to be befriendcd in the way of
profit from the sales
"Then you are working for your
pocket?" said Mr.. Moss.
'All the time, the same as you are,
retorted the witness.
"To the boss belongs the lions
share of the plumber" sneered Mr..
Moss.
mo plumber; no, f." said Croker "You
can call it what you like. You may
call the bill you send to the legisla-
'ture for the work you are now doing
plumber, if you please"
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the investigation 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 a
member of several companies, one of
which is the Air and Power company,
with capital stock Of 10000 oOO He
said:
1--WE got nothing to conceal. If
anyone comes to me with good stock
to buy, buy it, and so would you. L
will not go into any details of my pri
vate business"
Former Judge Roger A. Pryor testi
fed that he had contributed to Tam
many on account of his nomination,
he having sent check for $40, 600,
payable to the order of Richard Gro
ker, chairman of the finance commit
tee of Tammany Hall. This check
was returned to him the following
day, and he was asked to make the
check payable to the bearer. This he
did

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Wen, No Chronic
Disease can be Cured Unless the
stomach is First Made Strong
and Vigorous.

This is plain, because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach for
its nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew,
blood, are made from the food which
the stomach codverts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with
this, that and the other remedy, and
neglect the most important of all the
stomach.
The earliest symptoms OF indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the
mouth, gas in stomach and bowels,
palpitntion, all-gone feeling, faintness,
headaches, constipation; later comes
loss of flesh, consumption, liver and
heart troubles, kidney diseases, nervous
prostration, all Of which are the indi.
rect result Of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indiges-
tion should make IL practice TO take
after each meal one OF Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, allowing it TO dissolve
in the mouth and thus mingle with the
saliva aud enter the stomach in the
most natural way. These tablets are
highly recommended by DIR. Jennison,
because they are composed of the nat.
ural digestive acids and fruit essence,, 4,
which assist the stomach in digesting
all wholesome food before IL has time
to ferment and sour.
SStuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists, full sized packages at so
cents. They are also excellent for in
valids and children. A book on stomach
