POLICE SUSPECT FOUL PLAY
officials at Newton, Kan, Believe Herbert
Croker Was Drugged and Robbed.
THEORY NOT CREDITED At KANSAS CITY
Young Man spends Some Time In
Opium Den and chief Hayes
says Death IL Due TO
Drug.

NEWTON, Kan, May lS.-The coroner's
jury in the case of Herbert V. Croker
brought in the following verdict, at 1850
this morning:
We find upon our oaths that said Her
ber V. Croker came to his death on May
II, 1906. on Sante Fe train No. II, while
between Kansas City, Mo, and Newton,
Kan, from the effects of narcotic poisoning,
taken into his system, at Kansas City. Mo-,
before boarding said train, by means and
manner unknown to this jury"
The authorities here this Afternoon are
convinced that Herbert Croker was
drugged and robbed at Kansas City. The
clothing he wore were evidently not his
own. being of cheap material and badly
soiled The hat he wore had on it initials
other than his own and bore the trade
mark of a Minneapolis (Minn.) firm. His
own clothing was evidently stolen and
other garments given him. Physicians say
that from the symptoms, Croker might
have died from opium poisoning though
they are not sure that this was the drug
used. They agree, however, with the
coroner, that the man had been drugged
and that this caused his death.
Foul Play Theory Not Credited.
KANSAS CITY, May 13.-The coroner's
verdict in the case of Herbert V. Croker
OF New York, who was found dead on
Santa Fe train near Newton, Kan, is that
he came to his death while between Kan
sas City Mo-, and Newton, Kan, from
the effects of narcotic poison taken into
his system at Kansas City before board
ing said train. by means and manner un-
known to this jury"
Chief of Police Hayes of Kansas City
| says that Croker's death was due to over
ind tn NahfG GlFu md nj
Hayes says there is little to indicate that
! the New York man was robbed or to show
| that he was drugged except as he did 1t
| himself.
The body of Croker is at Newton await
| ing the arrival of his brother Richard,
from New York, who is expected to reach
| Newton Sunday night. The undertaken
who embalmed the body says the young
man appeared to have been in fine physical
| condition.
The two Cinnamon who conducted tho
| opium joint and the negro porter, Charles
| Wilson, who took Croker to the place, are
in Jail, but they are not charged with any
| offense in connection with Croker's death.
The Chinaman will be prosecuted for keep
ing an opium joint and Wilson's testimony
will be used against them. The China
man said Croker had smoked opium before.

| DUBLIN May 13.-Richard Croker does
not intend to go to the United States for

| Mr. Croker said that he had no reason

had been affected for five years Herbert
was making the trip west for his health,
Mr.. Croker said, and he was convinced
that his son had died a natural death.

CFrom a stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-It has been stated upon competent
authority that all denials to the contrary,
Secretary Paul Morton of the Navy de-
partment will be out of the cabinet by
September / at the latest. His retirement
will come as a result of his voluntary
resignation. President Roosevelt will fellc-
itate him upon his services and express
regret that he finds 1t expedient to sever
his connection with the government SER
vice. 1t has been known to Mr.. Morton's
colleagues in the cabinet for some time
that he was dissatisfied with his tenure
Mr.. Morton does not like official life and
has chafed at being in office. He has
been importuned to resume his connection
with financial and railroad AFFAIRS, which
are more to his taste. At the same time
gossip in official circles reports that Mr..
Morton's retirement may relieve the situa-
ton. 1t is a subject OF current report
that the prosecution by the government of
the Santa Fe alleged rebate cases involves
a possibility OF Mr. Morton figuring as one
of the participants. This, however, is
matter of rumor rather than of official
statement and may not have any connec-
tion with the coming retirement.

oke College, Hon. ]. Aston Cabell, of
Richmond, and Rev. H. M. Fugate, of

The exercises will begin at 10 o'clock

claiming themselves the earnest friends
