CROKER RULED OUT.
Advisory Committee Says It Has Tax
 en Him at His Word.

New York, June 12.-The following statement defining the position of the advisory committee of Tammany Hall was given out last night:
 .'There has been so much criticism and misrepresentation regarding the leadership of Tammany Hall that we deem it advisable to state precisely what is the position of the advisory committee.
 s'It is stated once and for all that Richard Croker is not the leader in or of Tammany Hall; and that he will never again be that leader.
 He has gone out and shall not re- turn. His friends and former asso- ciates who regarded him as one hav- ing the highest capacity for leadership are agreed to this. The characteristic that made him specially fitted for the place he used to fill was truthfulness. He said to the executive committee when he endorsed the appointment of Louis Nixon to the chairmanship of the finance committee that he would never again enter Tamn1any Hall as the leader and we have taken his word"

THE oLEoMARGARINE TAX
What Dealers Must Pay After the
 First of July.

Under the new revenue law which takes effect July 1, the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine, adulterated butter, and process or renovated but ter will be brought under new condi- tions. The manufacturer of Oleomar- garine must pay special tax of S6O0 and l0 cents per pound on the colored product and 'one-fourth of cent per pound on the uncolored product
 The higher rate of tax is expected to be prohibitive to certain extent and it is expected to diminish the out put or oleomargarine made ill the semblance of butter. It has been in- timated that an attempt will be made in some way to control the output of butter. thereby increasing the price Ii this should be the case and the price of butter should immediately ad- vance after July l, it would be favor able to the continued production of colored oleomargarine for the domes- tic trade, otherwise not. The produc- tion of white, or uncolored, oleomar- garine will depend solely on the pub lie demand. If consumers can be ed ucated to overcome their objections as to color, it is sr1rmised that more oleo- margarine VIII be made than hereto fore. The commissioners reports show that the average product per year upon which tax was paid for the past two years in this district (Connec- ticut and Rhode Islan0 was S067,- 9S0 pounds.
 Wholesale dealers in colored oleo- margarine will pay $4S0 per annum. This tax permits the sale of both kinds, colored and uncolored. The tax for the sale of uncolored only at wholesale is S200 per annum. The retail dealer selling both kinds of oieo- margarine must pay $4S. If the dealer sells only the uncolored product the special tax is $6 per annum. Some butter dealers in this state are dis posed to give the white product fair trial and work up a local demand for the same, and undoubtedly a large number will qualify and pay the st tax who have never sold oleomargar- inc heretofore. There are at present four factories, four wholesale dealers and 321 retail dealers in Rhode Island and ten retail dealers in Connecticut. --

NO STRIKE IMMINENT.
President of Indiana Miners Says

President of Indiana Miners Says
 There Will Be None in His District.
 Indianapolis, Ind, June 12.-George Hargrove, president of the Indiana miners union, does not believe there is any likelihood of strike in the In diana field for the present at least. He said:
 "There is little chance of an Indi- ana strike and one will come only in case it shall be necessary to force a general tie-up with the anthracite strike. l am more concerned now with the strike in the Virginia dis trict than with the anthracite trouble. That probably will prove the real point of contention in settling the diff faculties in the east. The unionizing of the Virginia fields and forcing the recognition of the organization will be a big victory, if we win.'

NO EXPRESS TRAIN.
Passenger Traffic Manager Connor
 Says Scheme is Not Feasible.

Says Scheme is Not Feasible.
 Regarding the suggested express train from Waterbury to Kew York, Attorney u. G. Church, clerk of the Business Mems association, has re ceived the following from George h.. Connor, passenger traffic manager of the Consolidated Railroad Go:
 New Haven, June Il, 1902. U. G. Church, Secretary the Waterbury
 Business Mems Association, Water
 bury. Conn:
 Dear Sir: Referring again to your communication of the 2d instant, in re- gard to express train service between Waterbury and New York via Hawley- vile:
 As stated in my previous letter, the matter was taken up with our operat- ing department and has been given careful consideration. As a result, 1 am sorry to inform you that the propo- sition has not been found to be feasi- ble one from the standpoint of the rail road company. Owing to the grades and curves on the proposed line, the best time we could make would be to leave Waterbury at GAO a. m., arrive at Hawleyville 7:20, back through the freight yard to the Berkshire division tracks, thence to the Branch tracks, leaving Haw1eyville 7:23, arriving Bethel 7:36. South Norwa1k S:14, and connecting there with train due in New York at 9:19 a. m. This would be only five minutes better than the present schedule via Bridgeport. leaving Wa terbury 6:35 a. m. from Bank street station, which, as you know. is much more centrally located than that of the Highland division. from which train rI1nDinU via HaxvlavVi11o yvOI11d have to start In addition to the 6:35 q. m. train via Bridgeport, there is also a train leaving Waterbury at q. m. via Cheshire, connecting at New Haven with the train due New York at 9:30 a. m.
 There are now six daily connections via Bridgeport between Waterbury and New York in each direction, averaging only about ten through passengers to a train. The time above referred to via Hawleyville could only be made by emitting all station stops excepting at Junction points, leaving the train de- pendent for it's revenue entirely upon the Waterbury-New York through busi- ness, and our records here indicate that the total volume of through business between the points referred to on all trains is not sufficient to warrant the operation of a train for Waterbury New York business exclusively
 The return trip from New York via the p. m. train. as indicated in your letter. is impossible under present con- ditions. The , D. m. is through train to Boston. and it's equipment is now so heavy that it is not practicable to make 8 stop at South Norwalk as suggested

WALLER WANTS TT.
Will Cast a Vote in Favor of the New
 Constitution.


 New Haven, June 12.-Former Gov ernor Thomas NJ. Waller has made a statement in which he says that he will vote for the proposed constitution. ] He declares that it is in nearly every respect an improvement over the pres ent constitution, and especially in the part of the new instrument which pro- vides an easier way to get further re- forms.
 MT Waller was a delegate to the constitutional convention, and the ablest democratic lawyer on the floor, distinguished himself by his advocacy of legislation for the advantage of the masses, and against certain existing laws which permit corporations undue advantages. MT Waller went to the length of claiming that the constitu- ency of the house makes little differ ence if the people have control of the senate. He voted for the proposed constitution in the convention partly because it provides for a large senate.
