DUBLIN, Ireland November 17.-Rchard
Croker today added a chapter to his pre-
vious statement about William R. Hearst
and incidentally paid his respects to his
enemies in Tammany Hall. After the in
terview was written he personally made
corrections. 1t is therefore a sort of Off
cial procamation-the last, Croker de-
clares. that he will make
In reply to a question as to what had
caused Hearsts defeat, Croker replied: :
God Almighty"
Then he added: His defeat is a judg-
ment of heaven. owing to his scurrilous
charges and his ungentlemanly conduct of
the campaign, villifying every one who did
not hold his opinion. In all my experience
l do not remember a campaign which sunk
to such billingsgate.
I see Hearst referred to me as corrupt
politician. If he thinks SO, why did he visit
me in 1908 at Vantage and beg me to re-
sumo the leadership of Tammany Hall? Mr..
Hearst implored me to re-enter politics
saying that Lewis Nixon was incompetent
and that everybody wanted me to return
Hearst also confessed that he was ambi-
uous to enter politics, and said could help
him.
Now Hearst is putting me in the position
OF being In the 'plunderbund' with Belmont,
Morgan, Carnegie, Root, Roosevelt, Ryan,
Freedman and the Rev. Lindsey Parker. /
am proud to be associated with these gem
tlemen, for they have done more for New
York asleep than Hearst has ACCOMPLISHED

 After the disposal of one or two more small matters, the council adjourned.
 Citizens Complain.
 A number of citizens of Ensley who live on the lines of the street cars wish to register complaint against the man ner in which some of the trolley parties that pass through the city are conducted, Residents on these thoroughfares are fre- quently annoyed by fiocks of rude boys on these cars who hurl stones at the houses as they pass. To date, no one has been reported injured by these fusilades, but the damage to property and the annoyance and fright caused the people are claimed to be enough to warrant drastic steps being taken to abate the nuisance.
 The complaining citizens believe that the street railway company is not aware of these wanton acts, and feel sure that if the condition is brought to its notice steps will be taken to relieve the resi- dents along the car lines from the an noyance. Ensley is always glad to wei come sightseers but she insists that they shall deport themselves in an orderly manner while in the city.
