PLAN A BLOW AT CROk ER.
MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE OF REAL
ESTATE AUCTION ROOMS.

THE BOSS IS SAID TO BE DISPOSING OF ALL
HIS REALTY HOLDINGS IN THIS CITY.
The real estate men are out cunning for Rich
ard Croker and ePter F. Meyer, city auctioneer'
Mr.. Crol<er's partner. A movement has been
started among them to retire Mr. Meyer ds
city auctioneer by prevailing upon Controller
Grout to appoint another man, and then follow
this up with the removal of the auction rooms
from the basement of No. III Broadway to
better and more airy quarters.
The removal of the auction rooms to another
spot cannot be accomplished without an order
signed by majority of the Supreme Court
justices. Although three anti-Tamany justices
were elected at the last election. a majority of
the justices believed to be favoraby dis
posed toward Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Meyer The
real estate interested in a change of the
auction rooms will depend on simple reasons
and circumstances to convince the justices that
better place should be selected for the city's
business. The Auctioneers' Association and the
Real Estate Board of Brokers are understood
to favor early removal from the present situ-
alton, account of the bad air and incon-
venences daily encountered there.
The removal of the city auction rooms would
be distinct blow at Richard Croker. and the
real estate men interested in the change do not
try to conceal their intentions. They consider
that Mr. Never has had monopoly OF So''' l

Washington, Nov. 26.-There is good reason

recommend the abolition of that duty altogether
He is not prepared however, to go far as
that
IN opposition to any and every change in the
present sugar schedule there have gathered in
Washington the representatives of number Of
arguments TO show that the government is un-

any cost and in defiance OF all considerations
of policy. good morals common sense At the
head of this opposition to- the Presidents policy

ers is interested in the manufacture in this
country of beet root sugar. Judging from the
fact that ne has taken a large house this WIN

Here are the interests which may be considered
to have pooled their issues:

the West.
Second-The cane sugar growers OF LOUISIANA
Third-The sugar producers of Hawaii
Fourth-The sugar producers of Porto Rico.
The entire consumption Of sugar in the United
