DEPENDS ON DEVERY.
4 WHETHER CROKER CONTINUES
AS TAMMANY BOSS.
Democratic Primaries in Greater New
York Being Held
Today.

New York. Sept. 16.-All New
York is awaiting with keenest inter-
est the result of the Tammany prima-
ries being hell today. The contest
will result in the reconstruction of
the Tammany machine no matter who
wins because it is a foregone conclu-
sion that the triumyirate-"Joke'
Hoffen, "Two-Spot" Mcmahon and
Sport Murphy, as Big Bill Dew
cry calls them-will retire from their
burlesQue attempts at running the or
ganization in the absence of Croker.
If John G. Sheehan of the Greater
New York Democracy can elect six
OF seven men he will gain the support
of a number of leaders who are not
loyal to Croker. but the majority Of
the leaders do not believe Sheehan
will carry any districts. particularly
in view of the personal fight being
made by Devery against him in the
Ninth district. where his influence was
the strongest
If Devery should win, Car
roll and his followers would
seek to accomplish the per-
manent retirement OF Croker and
his friends, with the object of gaining
control of the machine. 1t is the uni
versal verdict that everything de-
pends upon the result of the strenu-
Gus fight Devery has been Waging for
weeks past in the Ninth.

Those deprived of the fire had to run up

could, and would then lie down on the

tramp until they got tired tramping.
The food was reduced to one meal per
day, and it consisted of three bareback
and small pieces of beef or bacon. This
was each mans allowance, but as lots of
this was swiped by some comrade, many
hundreds went hungry every day.
Then the men were marched out of the
barracks every day or two, and kept for
hours exposed to the bitter cold winds,
while the guards searched the barracks.

crate flags there was no necessity for
these searches, but these were simply eX-
