"NOT MY FAULT"
SAYS Mr.. CROKER
If Nixon Could Not Control
Tammany Hall.

London, May 16.-In an interview
at Vantage last night, Richard Croker
said that were he in New York he
would certainly vote for Robert A.
Van Wyck as grand sachem of Tam
many Hall, and that Mr.. Van Wyck,
In his opinion, was as fine a man as
ever drew breath and good Mayor.
Mr.. Croker said that Thomas l.. Felt
ner had been his lifelong friend, but
that he had been grand sachem many
times, in fact, for too long time.
Michael keenan,, John Fox, John j.
Scanned, John w. Keller and Ran
dolph Guggenheimer were all his good
friends, he said, but in voting for Mr..
Van Wyck they had acted upon their
own responsibility. Mr.. Croker said
he saw his own friends split up, some
of them voting for Mr.. Van Wyck
and others for Mr.. Feitner.
He expressed himself as very sorry
that Lewis Nixon had resigned as
chairman of the Finance committee.
He said he had given no orders, but
that he had left the matter entirely
to the leaders to decide. Mr.. Croker
said he had cabled Mr.. Nixon last
Wednesday to do Just. as he pleased
and that ''if Mr.. Nixon could not con-
troll them, 1t was not my fault"

MOURNING
Is Absent In Paris
Americans Do Not Understand
Il.

Paris, May 16.-The American visitors
here cannot understand the seeming III
difference of the Parisians in regard to
the Martinique disaster. Beyond the
half -masted flags over the government
offices, there are no signs of public
mourning. The people flock to their
usual resorts, attend the races, fill the
theatres, none of which has been closed
no "extras" are issued, and there is no
demand for them. But the evening
papers, containing bulletins of the auto
mobile race are eagerly purchased.
The various funds being raised for
the relief of the Martinique sufferers
now amount only to 100000 francs, in
cluding the large subscriptions of the
foreign potentates and the 10000
francs from the municipality. The
provinces seem more interested in the
disaster than the capital. They are
actively organizing committees to raise
funds and there is much mourning at
the seaports whose ships were de-
stroyed.

New York; May 15-In order to
correct numerous mistakes in regard
to his purchase of Ocean Beach prop
erty on Staten Island for the benefit Of
poor children, Charles NJ. Schwab, pres

alton, has made the following state
ment: "a
II have purchased Richmond Beach,
facing New York bay on the south
shore OF Staten Island near Tottenville,
for the benefit of poor and sick children
Of New York. The land comprises
about quarter of mile Of fine beach,
also fine fresh water lake, grove
and highland. The building on the
property will be altered to suit the pur-
poses of the purchase after consultation
with charitable institutions of New
York. 1t is expected that from 1900
to 1000 children daily can be pro-
vided for at the beach and they viii
be given good time in the usual way
by means of bathing, boating on the
lake and games in the fields. The chill
dren will be conveyed to the beach
probably on a large steamer and the
outings will continue during the open
air season. Every child will receive a
good dinner.
"NIrs. Schwab is closely interested
with me in this undertaking and we
both have our hearts in it. We shall
proceed carefully in all respects avail
ing ourselves of the benefit of the ex'
perience of charitable institutions"
