abandoned on September % The vessel listed
heavily to the starboard and her buiwarks were
awash main and mizzen masts and starboard

The wreckage was alongside the vessel with
all yards attached. Captain Finis sent boat

FROM ALL CORPORATIONS

There was a report printed yesterday that Rich
ard Croker was interested with Charles T. Yerkes,
Joseph Letter and others in the underground tunnel
in London. It said that the Hoadley-Knight
patents owned by the Auto-Truck Company, would
be utilized in securing motive power for the new
underground system. When Mr. Croker was seen
at the Democratic Club last night and asked about
this report he said fatty:
'I have no interest in that"
You are interested in the auto-truck company ?"
suggested.
No" said Mr.. Croker. II have further in
terest in that company"
"Or the General Carriage Company" asked.
No said Mr Croker. Il have interest any
longer in any companies"
This caused great deal of surprise when it be-
came known 1t may be recalled that when the
auto-truck company formed Mr. Croker was
of the prime spirits in the undertaking. 1t was
said for the new concern that it could build and
operate trucks a cost of three mile, while
the old horse trucks cost II cents mile to operate
1t was freely predicted that the trucks would
drive the old ones out Of business and leave thou
sands of truckmen the option of selling out rights
and goodwill to the new company at any price 1t
cared to pay. or being frozen out
At that time Mr.. Croker said the company would
confne itself to trucking business, and would not
interfere with passenger cab trade. Since then an
offshoot of the Auto-Truck Company known the
General Carriage Company has been formed, and
this is intended to drive the old hackmen out of
business On the whole the new concerns appeared
very much like trusts. which Mr. Croker loves TO
hack and pound.
Of late not much has been heard about the Auto
Truck Company, but it was believed that Croker
still interested in it. His declaration that he
out of IT and all other companies was eye
opener. When politicians heard this they said:
Score for ColeT"
They were inclined believe that Mr.. Coler in
his mercess attacks on commercalism in politics
had frightened Croker and compelled him to back
of various enterprises. That Croker is weak
enng OF late and backing down in the face OF pub
lie opinion manifested in the of Justice
Patterson. After he had decided TO turn down the
Justice and nominate John Whalen for that office
he became frightened at the Indignation aroused
and relented This recalled last night, and
added 10 his declaration about getting out of bust
ness enterprises led prominent politician to say.

strikingly illustrated yesterday when they grayev

THINKS NAY BE NEW CREED.
THE REV. ALEXANDER MGAFFIN SAYS
CONFESSION NOT ESSENCE OF
PRESBYTERIANISM.

Let no man think that when he fights for the
Westminster Confession of Faith he is hghting Tor
the essence of Presbyterianism, or that when ne
has set aside the Westminster Confession ne mas
set aside Presbyterianlsm.
1t was in these words in his sermon last night In
the Second Presbyterian Church, Remsen and Cln-
ton sts Brooklyn, which has always been consid-
cred one of the most conservative and tenaciously
orthodox churches in Brooklyn. that the pastor the
Rev Alexander McGafin. dismissed the Westmin-
ster Confession in way essential to Pres
byterianism. His words surprised the staid old
Presbyterians who had sat under the teachings Of
the Rev. DR.. John Fox and the Rev. DR.. Van
Dyke.
In closing Mr., McGafin said:
If they ask you, What about the Confession of
Faith?" say that the Presbyterians of the seven
teenth century believed in personal rights obtained
from God, believe that He may say some
far better thing than He ever said to the West
minister Assembly and may give to some new As
sembly new creed In this land which feels no
tyrant's heel and where the Church is free
