CROKER Brings LIBEL SUIT
Former Tammany Chief Appears to
Be Getting Sensitive in
His Old Age.

Dublin, Oct 1O.-Richard Croker today
formally inaugurated the libel suit which
will bring to a definite issue the ques-
ton whether he used his position as chief
of Tammany hall for purposes of financial
profit The suit is against a London
magazine, which published in it's current
number a scathing article against the
growth of so-called ''TammanyiSm' in
England in identically detailing i'm al
legged chapters from New York the opera
lions of Tweed and Croker. The latter s
affidavits make q sweeping denial of any
wrong doing while head of Tammany hall
and especially denies using the organiza-
ton for purposes of eXtortion or personal
profit The case will be tried before an
Irish jury and it is expected will attract
much attention, owing to the issue over
the honesty of TammanyS adminiStra-
ton. That notable array of lawyers
will be retained is indicated by the posi-
ton of Mr.. Cookers counsel, James w
NJ Campbell, K. c., who represented
Dublin university in the house of COM
mons, and who was successfully solicitor
general and attorney general for Ireland
under the late Balfour government.

Several LEADERS of the revolution ar
rived here today from various parts of

TO make urgent requests to Secretary
Tart for official positions under the pro-
Vlslonal government. 1t is considered sig
