Washington, d. c., Nov. 29.-The Of
f1cers of the interior department are
not pleased with the very free utter
special agent of the general land office,
regarding the wholesale land frauds
which are now being investigated by
the Federal grand jury in Omaha, and
in which some Of the wealthiest cat
tlemen in western Nebraska are in
volved. In the dispatches containing
the interview with Colonel Mosby, he
was made to criticise severely the at
titude taken by Senators Willard ana
Dietrich of Nebraska, with regard to
the land frauds.
The department has no information,
as to the attitude of the Nebrask
senators, but does not believe that they
would endeavor to place any obstacles
in the way of rigid investigation, OIL
in any other way countenance the eff
forts of the land barons" to secure
large tracts of government lands by
means of Illegal entries and transfers
from war widows" In any event the
department considers that Colonel
Mosby talks too freely, and that his
utterances, considering the position he
occupies as an official of the govern
ment, was not in good taste.
1t is probable that Colonel Mosby will
receive an intimation to this effect,
and will be asked for an explanation
of his criticisms of the Nebraska SEN

Chief Croker Dismissed.

New York, Nov. 29.-EdWard r.
Croker, chief of the fire department,
who was tried recently on a series of
charges, was declared guilty yesterday
by Commissioner Sturgis, and was dis
missed from the service, the dismissal
to take place on Dec. l. Chief Croker
was found guilty on the charges OF
failure to enforce the requirements OF
law for properly safeguarding the
Park Avenue Hotel" of "the CONVEX
sion of public property to his private
use;" of conduct prejudicial to good
order and discipline in prosecuting ana
unjustly discriminating against certain
members of the uniformed force and
of conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman and prejudicial to good or
der and discipline"
On the charges of "incompetency as
chief of the department in the manage
ment of great fires" and of Sending
false reports" he was acquitted.
Chief Croker declined to make any
comment. but it is known that he will
fight. Mayor Low issued a statement
sustaining Mr.. Sturgis, and expressing
the belief that he had acted in accord
ance with the law and with the die
tates of his conscience. Mayor Low
says:
"Thee charter places upon the fire
commissioner and not upon the mayor
the duty of conducting all trials in the
fire department, and it is the sworn
duty of the commissioner to make his
findings upon evidence according to his
conscience. 1t is due to the provisions
of the charter itself that the commits
sioner has been obliged both to fornu-
late the charges and to try them. The
circumstances in this case have been
such that / have thought it incumbent
upon the mayor to assure himself that
the chief has had fair trial. and that
every opportunity was given to him to
make his defense. Being satisfied, as
am, upon these points there seemed to
he no reason why this trial should not
take its course like any other trial held
by the commissioners. The discipline
Of the department. in fact, required
that this matter should be disposed of
in the usual way"
Chief Croker is 80 years of age, ane
has been connected with the depart
ment for eighteen years. He is the
nephew of Richard Croker. In 1898 he
became deputy chief. and on May J.,
1889, he succeeded Hugh Bonner as
chief of the department. He also is
president of the National Association of
Fire Chiefs.
Deputy Fire Chief Charles D. Purroy,
who will become acting chief, Is q
brother of Henry D. Purroy, former
fire commissioner and president of the
Eoard.

crushing the Macedonian peasants. The
winter has set in and the danger from

returned to their homes, Christian vii

frequently employed until the victims

New York, Nov. 29.-The right of
dogs to enjoy life in New York flats

capitol for Omaha to again take VI

kings have erected on government
lands.
Colonel Mosby arrived here this

EARLY CLOSING.
A Novel Petition Beln1 Circulated by the Clerks for Closing the stores st
 6 O'clock PM

The following petition is being cir culated for signatures:
 gro the Merchants of Flagstaff-We, the undersigned, residents of Flagstaff and vicinity and patrons of your places of business, do hereby petition you that you will close your stores at 6 o'clock pm. every day excepting Saturday of each week, mill pay days and during Christmas week. We make this request in the interest of your employees, who, we believe, are entitled to shorter hours, and because we believe you are willing to allow them shorter hours if assured that your customers will not object.
 "And we hereby pledge ourselves to assist by every honorable means the movement for early closing, and to encourage by our patronage the mer- chants who may adopt the practice.
 The clerks are taking novel method of obtaining shorter hours. They pro- pose to put the question to the test or public opinion, and if majority of the patrons of the stores sign the petition, they will trust to the gener- osity of the proprietors to put the 6 o'clock hour of closing into effect. The patron of store who signs the petition can raise no objection should he at any time find it necessary to make a purchase after 6 o'clock p.m., as it was by his request the store was closed. It is quite probable that the signatures of about all the patrons of the stores will be secured and we can look for the success of the early closing movement.
