MAYOR THOMAS TAccERT-Personal
friends, including both gold and silver
Democrats, have stated movement in
indianapolis to make Mr.. Taggert
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and the work is to
be pushed vigorously till it is
accomplished. They say Taegert was
Chairman of the committee in Indiana
in 1890 and again in 1892, and in both
years the party won substantial victories
over what seemed at frst great odds, Mr..
Harrison being President at the time and
the State having been carried for him in
1888.
1t is claimed by his supporters that he
is recognized throughout the State as con-
sentative, and that his elevation to the
National Chairmanship would be long
step in the direction Of party unity in the
coming campaign.

Richard Croker, the HonOred
But Much Abused New
York Politician.
An Irish-Spaniard, the Last in
the Trenches at Capture
of Manila.
CAPTAIN BYRNES, GOTHAES CHIEF.

RICHARD CRoKER'S success as a leader
of men is due to his Napoleonic reserve
and his fidelity to his friends. He is the
most deceptive political leader living. To
the man who approaches him for the
first time be looks what is called IAN easy
thing" His voice is soft, his eyes guile
less, his manner subdued and diffident,
and he has way of asking for another's
opinion in self-deprecatory tone.
Many men have been broken in pieces
on the boss outward mask before ever
gaining so much as an inkling of the
real man, and he who boasts that he
knows Richard Croaker intimately is
using his hat as telephone. 1t is safe to
say that there is no man in the Tammany
organization to-day who would venture a
liberty with the boss. Democratic in
manner though he be, there is still an
impalpable wall of reserve about him
that is never pierced by any man, not
even those who are his con6dents as to
organization affairs.
This reserve is not assumed for effect ;
it is the nature of the man. He possesses
to marked degree the dignity that re-
suits from perfect physical and mental
poise. He is not cultured man. but he
takes this life and himself as seriously as
any theologian. He rarely loses his tenn
per, but when he does, it is good thing
to retreat as speedily as possible.
There is only one person in the world
who ever dared lord it over Croker, and
that is Mrs. Croker. The wags in Tam
many say--under their breath-that the
idea Of a Democratic club occurred to
Mr.. Croker after here is the story:
When the crokers moved into their
fine new house uptown Mrs. Croker
hailed the change as an earnest of fu-
ture that would be troubled with no more
political hangers-on like those who used
to infest the down town house. There
the "boys" used to wait in the front hall
of the boss, and they frequently squirted
tobacco juice on the hall mat when they
thought nobody was looking
One morning when the boss was stand
ing under his own vine and fig tree chat
ting with his friends, Mrs. Croker sud-
denly swept into the hall and said 81
want all of you men to get out OF this
hall and never enter it again."
She opened the door and swept them
ali into the street, Mr.. Croker included.
The Tammany chieftain made no resist
ance, but trotted away with his friends,
offering no comment.

CAPT. ARTURO O'NEILL--George Ar

writes as follows:
Zone of the mementoes of my visit to

manufacture, subscribed for by the repre-
sentative Spanish merchants and pre-
scented by Capt. Arturo O'Neill, Marquis

INDORSE THE PRESIDENT.
Concerted Action Taken by Colored
Att0rneys of the District.

There was a meeting of the representa-
tiNes of the Colored Bar Association, held
in the law offices of Mr. w. Calvin Chase
this morning, 503ia ID street northwest. The
meeting was called to order by Mr.. Chase,
who stated in brief that the time had cone
for the colored attorneys of the country TO
speak out boldly and fearIessly concerning
the President of the United States and the
great questions which seem to be agitating
the minds of the negro in the United
States. The lawyers are the true repre-
sentatives of the people, because, in his
opinion, remarked Mr.. Chase, they were
more able to deal with the negro question
and his relation to the administration of
PRESIDENT Mckinley than any other class of
people. AT the conclusion of MT Chase's
remarks, Justice E. NJ. Hewlett. who was
elected permanent chairman, made vigor-
Gus and patriotic speech, indorsing the
President and the manner in which he is
dealing with the Philippine and other great
questions in which the negro is Interested
Attorney Peril W. Fris5y was elected sec
rotary of the meeting, after which the
chair appointed the following committee
or resolutions: W. Calvin Chase, Thomas
E. Jones and L. NJ. King, all members of
the bar.
While the committee was out addresses
were made by Attorney Fenton Payton, q.
w. Arabic, and others.
The committee reported a preamble AMI
resolution reciting that there seemed to be
some unrest among some of the leaders OF
the race to the administration OF Presi-
dent Mckinley, and declaring that the col
ored attorneys of the District bar, having
watched closely the Presidents every act
and know from observation well rs
from the records that the President had
ar pointed and commissioned more ccloled
men up to date than any previous President
of the United States, and had managed
with great tact and satisfaction the most
successful war ever waged against any
nation. For these reasons, I'VE. the colored
a toy Of leNh nt 81 Ill -.,.. e
lumbia, fndorse and commend his great adj
ministration, and commend and leave to
his wisdom a peaceful settlement OF the
Philippine question.
The chairman and secretary were direct
ed to present copy of these preambles
and resolutions to the President.

ALLEGED ATTEMPTED FRAUD,
A District Volunteer I'm Trouble With
the Pension ONCE.

The first District volunteer to get IN
trouble with the pension office is Henry
kesler, who is today held under 81 900 bonds
Tor the grand jury on the charge of per-
jury. According to the official papers in
this case, in April, 1920, an application for
pension was filed by Henry Kesler, late of
Company b, 1st Regiment, District of Co.
lumbia Volunteer Infantry, war with Spain,
which in July was followed by a supplement
tary declaration, in both of which applica-
tions the claimant alleges under oath that
among other dissSlities for which pension
was claimed he incurred rupture of the
left side while in the line of duty near San
Juan Hill, Santiago, Cuba, in August, 1898.
Correspondence with the War Department,
1t was claimed, indicated that the claimant
was identical with Harry keser, who en-
listed in Troop H of the Sth United States
Cavalry at Fort Myer, Va, on April II.
1888. He was accepted coBditionally at that
time but on examination was found to be
ruptured on the left side and unfit to per-
form military duty, and was accordingly,
May 8, 1893. discharged from the service,
without honor, for concealment of physi-
cal defect at the time of enlistment.
The application for pension was placed
in the hands of Special Examiner A. w.
Roome of the pension Office, who, after Sc
curing sufficient testimony to identify the
claimant, Henry kesler, with the Kesler
who was discharged from the regular army
on account of rupture in 1893, allowed the
claimant to make a statement relative to
the matter, which statement, the office re-
ports, embodied full and complete confess
sion of having fled false and fraudulent
claim for pension. This confession was
made in the presence of witnesseszssIt has
been ascertained, the pension people say,
that the injury for which the pension is
sought was incurred when the claimant
was boy by his older brother falling upon
him.
By direction of the commissioner of pen
sions the testimony in the case was sub
mitted to the United States district attor
ney for such action as he might deem proper
in the premises relative to criminal prose-
cution, and after review of the testimony
the examiner was instructed to swear out
a complaint, which was done before United
States Commissioner Mills. a warrant was
issued for the arrest of the claimant Kesler,
which was placed in Mr.. Roomes hands.
who caused the arrest to be made yesterday
afternoon. keSer was taken before Com
missioner Mills and held under a bond of
$500 for violation of section 543S, Revised
Statutes and for perjury. This morning al
10 O'Clock he waived a hearing and was
placed under bonds in the sum of 81 900 to
await the action of the grand jury.
