CROKER ON
THE GRIDDLE
The Mazet Investigation Commission
Puts the Noted Tammany Boss
on the Anxious Seat.
HE BECOMES VERY WRATHY
Thinks He Is Being Hounded for Political
Purposes, and Wants Platt's Busi-
ness Affairs Poked Over As
Well As His Own.

New York, April 15.-The Mazet in
vestigation committee continued its sit
tings to-day with "a reporters and Ste
nographers present. There was an ex-
pectation that Croker would to-day re-
fuse to answer questions on the ground
that they related to personal matters,
and he might, as a result, be reported to
the state legislature for alleged con-
tempt. Peter F. Meyer, Crokers part
ner was called.
Mercer said he did not take Croker in
to partnership to get the benefit of the
latter's influence, but to get satisfac-
tion out of a certain party had a little
grudge against" Witness would nor cx-
Croker had him appointed" on the
dock board, but corrected himself by
saying he was appointed by Mayor Var
Wyck He bought stock of the Consol-
private business. Croker was called. He
declined to talk regarding his financial
circumstances when he returned from
Europe in 1897. 1t was, he said, his per-
for refusing to answer the question if
he had given his son Frank $4,000 to
go into the Roebling Construction Com
pany. while my son has been in the
Roebling company said Croker, lit
never received contract from the city,
so it does not concern this committee
at alP' Croker added: "This commit
tee, it seems has made set against my
two sons, and if you can destroy them
and not allow them to go into business
suppose you will. Go on and examine
Platt's firm; find out what his boys are
in, If you want to; be honest. Platt is
the gentleman who puts you here to ex-
anime us. His firm is at the foundation
of all the corruption in this city"
"If you will make that matter in any
way pertinent to this inquiry I will ex-
anime into it" said the lawyer. Croker
continued to declaim against Platt's
firm, which, he said, was to pay Moss a
fee. He said: "You find one of the city
or any one in the city de-
partment doing wrong, tell me, and
will be one of the first persons to help
get them out" Croker said he was not
afraid Of convicting himself or incrimi-
mating himself, but thought there was
no law or reason for Moss to examine
into his private affairs.

Quay Loses a Point.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 15.-After a
battle royal this morning between coun-
sci as to the admission of the "red
book which Expert Meyer Goldsmith
yesterday said was undoubtedly a book
Of the bank, Judge Biddle admitted the
red book" as evidence against Senator
Quay
Judge Biddle, in admitting the 'red
book said: when the question orig
inally arose in reference to this partic-
ular book did not think the district at
torney had sufficiently established proof
that it was a bank book. The question
now comes in an entirely different
phase. An expert swears positively it is
a book Of the bank, and under these cir
cumstances it is admitted, as he knows
more about it than I do" The black
book and "blue book" were admitted
against the same objections as to the
"red book" and an adjournment was
taken until Monday.

This Is the Way the Army in Cuba Should
Have Been Supplied, Prominent Army
Officials Claim.

Washington, April 15.-General John
C. Gilmore, assistant adjutant general
of the army on General Miles staff, was
examined by the Wade court of inquiry
today, with especial reference to the
testimony given by Captain Aspinwall
in command of the transport Manitoba,
that Gilmore suggested, after the vessel
had stranded in the harbor at Ponce,
that the beef should be thrown over
board. Gilmore denied he had ever
spoken to Captain Aspinwall on the
subject. Col. Charles Bird, in charge of
transportation in the quartermaster
generals office, expressed the opinion
that the government could have saved
money by buying the beeves on the
hoof, and killing them in Cuba and
Puerto Rico. Inspector General Breek-
enridge also believed it would have
been possible to land limited number
of cattle in Cuba after the troops had
secured footing 1t would have been
as easy for the cattle to carry themsel-
YES as for the mules to carry them.
