not been formally returned by the
grand jury, but the fact that they have

The question of the indictment of
Unger was a foregone conclusion. He
was arrested last night for embezzling
wheat $500 when ne was acting as

CROKER AND WIFE REcoNcILEo.
Death Of Tammany Chieftain's Son Is
the End Of Family Quarrel.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The belief
that Richard Croker and his wife, af-
ter many years of separation, have
become reconciled, was strengthened
today by remarks made by the former
Tammany boss, before his departure
for Europe on the Cunard liner Cam
pania. Mutual grief over the death of
their son, Frank Croker, killed in an
automobile accident in Florida, was
the cause that brought the father and
mother together. Mr.. Croker left for
this side from Ireland at once when
he received the news of his sons death.
Few had thought, up to the time of his
sons death, that he would ever return
to this country. Reports had it that
since Mr.. Croker's arrival that he and
his wife had become reconciled and to-
day wnen asked by friend at the pier
if his wife was aboard, Mr.. Croker
said:
mo, she is not on board. She is to
join me in the spring, about May, /
think, when my sons Richard and Her
bert and my daughter come over"
Mr.. and Mr.. Croker have not lived
together for many years. During the
last campaigns that Mr.. Croker con-
Quoted he lived at the democratic club,
and his wife maintained her home on
Seventy-fourth street When Mr.
Croker arrived here to attend his sons
funeral he was met down the bay by
his son Richard, Jr. Mr.. Croker and his
son went at once to the home on Sew
enty- fourth street. Since the funeral
Mr.. Croker remained quietly indoors
and saw only a few friends, To those
who saw him he said he was out Of
politics for good. Before sailing to
day Mr. Croker said:
They are saying that 1 will never
come back here again. That is not
true. New York is my home and I
expect to come back again before a
great while. should be very unhappy
indeed if 1 felt that I was going away
from home never to return"
Mr.. Croker was accompanied abroad
by his son Howard and his niece, Mrs.
Steela Bowman.

HE CAN SEE HUGE TIDAL WAVE.
Now Is the Time, He Says, to Decide
Whether Railroads or People Rule.

ROCK ISLAND, Ill, Feb. 2S.-For-
mer Governor S. r. Van SAINT of Min
nesota, principal speaker at the Wash
ington banquet of the Rock Island club
said:
IF the nation is to survive disre-
gard for law must cease and equal
privileges be guaranteed every citizen.
1t is plain to be seen that fierce bat
tie is in progress. Evidence is on every
hand. The attempt to merge the two
parallel competing railway lines of the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
the most ingenious and gigantic scheme
ever conceived by the brain of man to
oily.
Great corporations can end the
struggle by granting the just demand
of people. If they do not American
manhood will assert itself and force
them to do so. Arouse public Sentl-
ment and no force is so irresistible.
A great tidal wave has rolled into
Washington. The conversion Of some
of our congressman is more sudden
than that of Saul of Tarsus and if it
remains permanent as that of the
Apostle Paul, Unreasonable benefits
will come to the American people.
IF the senate remains obdurate,
hope the man in the White House will
call an extra session. 1t might as well
be settled now whether people exist for
the railways, or the railways for the
people,

,.,.,, Rules the Favorite at Six to
rive-"Young" Corbett Is in
Fine Shape.

GAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 2S.-
Al ewes in the sporting world are
turned toward San Francisco. In this
ctv tonight, in the arena of the Hayes
Valley Athletic club, Young Corbett
and Battling" Nelson, the two fore
most fighters of their class, will meet
for the second time to settle the ques-
+ion of supremacy. To close follow
ers of the fighting game no battle OF
,bter days will be more interesting.
As betting proposition the fight
PROMISES more than any mill that has
taken place here in a long time. At
present Nelson rules a favorite at odds
of 6 to 5. This indicates that not
outstanding the fact that Corbett was
decisively beaten by Nelson several
months ago. he is by no means con-
sidered easy game for the Dane. In
fact his admirers are inclined to throw
the previous match out in figuring the
merits of the fighters, for they consider
Corbett at his best an equal to Nelson.
Of course, Nelson is not underestimate
ed by the wise ones, so considering that
both will be at their best when the
gong calls them into the ring tonight,
there will be much money staked on
both sides.
Reports of the most confident nature
emanate from both training camps.
COrbett has finished his work Of prep
aratiOn at San Rafael, and those who
have been in closest touch with MIN
declare that he was never in better
condition for fight. The Denverite
as had the advantage of mixing it up
ally with Joe Cans, than whom no
deverer fighter is in the business to-
day. Nelson has trained his usual
conscientious manner and as result
appears to be in the pink of condition.
All things considered the fight prom
Uses to be a rafting affair from start

llty interest in the bout is at a fever
neat and when time is called tonight

Twelve-ycar-old Dorothy is already
a cook of 10 mean proficiency. Satur-
day morning frequently finds her in
the kitchen, being initiated into the
making of some simple dish.
"Oh, put in moderately generous
pinch Of salt" her mother will reply
to her anxious inquiry, or her grand
mother will give a professional glance
at the stewpan and say, "Well, If
were making it l think I'd probably
put in quite little more butter"
Such remarks, coming easily from
the tongues of artists who have only
to look at bit of cookery In process
Of making to know exactly what 1t
needs, are exasperating to youthful
cook, especially one who inherits from
''the other side" prediction for
scientific accuracy Of statement.
Recently Dorothy, returning from a
visit, excited even the interest of those
passed masters, her mother and grand
mother, by making a wonderful new
salad dressing. The two ladies short
ly afterward tried to make the dress
ing, under Dorothy's instruction.
How much sugar did you say,
Dorothy?" asked one of her pupils,
bending with flushed face over the
stove at a critical moment
"Well," said Dorothy, with unnatu-
raj deliberateness, eff 1 were making
that dressing, I shouldn't be surprised
If most likely I'd put in a moderately
generous heaping tip end of medium
sized tablespoonful"
