New York, Sept 4.-Lawyers question
whether the new naturalization law az
fecfs the citizenship of Richard Croker.
the former Tammany chieftain, as was
presumed in a story sent out from this
city yesterday.
The law. aiming to prevent the use Of
naturalization papers for improper pur-
poses, Is as follows.
when any naturaliZed American citizen
shall have resided for two years in the
State from which he came, or for FIVE
years in any other foreign State, It shall
be presumed that he has ceased to be sn
American citizen, and the place OF his
general abode shall be deemed his resi-
dence during those years. Provided. how
ever, that such presumption may be over

evidence 10 a diplomatic or consular off,

and regulations as the Department Of
State may prescribe"
II is contended that If Mr. Croker did
not take out papers himself but became
citizen on coming of age, as a result
Of his father having been naturalized
the law would not apply to nm Il is
also declared that as the law went into

NEARS THE CENTURY MARK
DR.. Starr Will Soon Celebrate Hun
dredth Birthday. /
Patriarch Plans Love Feast for Oc-
tOber 14-AtTributes Longevity to
Living Close TO Nature.

DR.. William N. Starr, the Capitals old
est citizen. invited the Oldest Inhabi-
tants' Association. at its meeting last
night, to join him in a love feast on the
occasion OF his 10oth birthday. October Il
next.
The invitation was enthusiastically ac-
cepted. and on that evening the oldest
inhabitants will gather around the ban
quet board TO do homage TO the patriarch
Of Washington
DR.. Starr was born at Bull Run, Va,
October Il. 1S07, and after passing through
the vicIssitudes OF two wars, fought for
the cause he thought was Just on his ma
tive heath, where flfty-four years before
he had first seen the light Of day. For
the past thirty-one years he has lived in
quiet seclusion in his little back room at
100 G street northwest. Presenting in his
own person q remarkable study of how
to meet the oncoming years gracefully.
Dr.. starr sums UP his secret Of long life
in this sentence:
Il have always lived close to nature;
have never used liquor or tobacco, and
never use medicine in sickness. save that
which nature provides in roots and
herbs"
That he should have won the smiles OF
Father Time tor so long a period Is more
remarkable, when it Is known that he has
passed through the vic!ssitudes OF three
wars-the Mexican, the Seminole. and the
civil. He fought with Jackson in the
Everglades in Florida, with Taylor in
Mexico, and took up arms for the Con-
federacy in 1861 That he fought well is
testified by the sixteen wounds he re-
eeived-twO from bullets. thirteen from
sword cuts, and one from an Indian ar
row.
When DR.. Starr first saw the Capital It
was little more than a mudwallow. he
says. I have lived to see many changes,
and I hope to I've TO see many more be-
fore I am called away. I remember the
time when all the locality in the neigh

New York Traction Official Explains
Destruction Of all Records.
Admits that Space They Filled Is
Now Occupied by Lot OF Uniul-
POrtant Suff.

New York. Sept. 4-Because Of the de-
stroying of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Companys books It is impossible. the
public service commission was told to-day
at the resumption Of the investigation OF
the local railroads. for the officials OF the
company to supply the board with the
details Of the various consultations and
transactions which led to the development
of the Metropolitan system from a con
cern OF only a few millions Of capital to
q corporation with capitalization Of
s52ooo. 600
D. c. Noorehead. secretary and treas
urer Of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company, testified that not only had the
books been sold as junk at three-quarters
of cent a pound, but that the waste
paper firm which bought the books had
guaranteed that the books should be
turned into pulp
Mr.. Moorehead stated that when the
New York City Railway Company was
formed. 10 take over the lines Of the Met
roPolitan system, q new set Of books had
been opened. but that there had been en-
tered in these only a general summary
consequently he was not able 70 supply
the commission with particulars OF the
many increases in the capital since the
first consolidation took place In 1893.
Mr.. Moorehead said that he had ordered
the destruction of the books entirely on
his OWL authority without cOnferring with
any Of the other officials Of the company.
and the only explanation he could make
for this action was that the storeroon
where the books were kept was crowded.
He admitted also that the space pro-
yided by the carrying away Of the le6 gers
and Journals afteTward was filed up with
lot OF unimportant stuff, and he pro-
fessed further to have no knowledge Of
the fact that the books were sold At the
time the Wormser suit against the Metro

came the holding corporation for all the
Metropolitan lines, was pending

Plttsfeld, Mass, Sept, 4.-Attorney Cen
eral BOnaparte was seen at the Hotel
Aspinwall. Lenox. this morning and asked
why District Attorney Sims failed to read
his letter relative TO the granting of i'm
munity to the Chicago and Alton a. yes
terdays court session in Chicago, and
why the grand jury was dismissed for
three weeks before taking up the ease
The Attorney General had not then
heard from Mr. Sims with regard 10 the
matter. but upon receiving a long tele-
graphic message from him later. gave out
the following statement:
"On August IA Judge Lands asked IN
substance that the Department Of Jus
tiee consider portions Of the transcript
Of testimony In the case Of the United
States VS.. the Standard Oil Company OF
Indiana in order to determine whether
the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company,
its officers and employees. were entitled
to the benefit Of an agreement assuring it
and them OF immunity against criminal
prosecution. in connection with the grant
ing of certain rebates to the Standard Oil
Company.
Agreement 20 He Kept.
The department, In compliance with the
desire OF Judge lands, examined the
aforementioned record. and. moreover,
carefully Investigated the entire subject
and as a result OF such investigation the
attorney general on August .. wrote
Edwin ". Sims. United States attorney
at Chicago, informing him IN substance
that the agreement was shown TO have
been made in June or July. 1906 by c. B.
Morrison. NJ. Sims predecessor in office:
that Mr.. Morrison's action appeared TO
have been duly authorized at the time by
the department: that. In the opinion OF
the department, the agreement had
greatly facilitated the indictment and
conviction OF the Standard on Company.
and that while certain portions 81 the evil
dence might be fairly termed favorable
comment, the department regarded the
government as bound in good faith. and
also as a matter OF public policy. TO give
effect 10 the agreement
sims Gets New Evidence.
''Air. Sims was instructed to read this
letter when the grand jury reconvened
on September s. and to take such further
action 10 the foregoing end as might seem
to tae court and 70 himself appropriate
in the premises. The department learns
that Mr.. Sims did not comply with these
instructions by reason Of his having had
called to his attention very recently GER
tain new and, IN bis judgment, material
facts. which he thought should be sub
mitted 10 the department for its further
consideration before its conclusion should
be finally announced. For this purpose
he asked, and was granted by the court,
delay Of three weeks.
The department is not as yet advised
as 10 what are the facts thus ascertained
BY Mr.. Sims. II has great confidence in
his judgment and devotion 20 duty. and
II awaits his report before taking further
action In the premises. Inasmuch. how
ever, as the circumstances Of the case
may be liable 20 mIsconsuuction, It is
deemed proper TO submit now the present
statement to the public"

VENEZUELA QUITS THE HAGUE.
Delegates 20 Peace Conference Or
dered Withdrawn by Castro.

The Hague, Sept. 4.-The Venezuelan
delegation to the peace conference to-day
received telegraphic instructions from
their government to withdraw from the
conference. The telegram should have ar
rived before the vote was taken in the
examining committee on Gen. Porters
proposal regarding arbitration on con-
traetual debts, but was delayed owing to
the quarrel between Venezuela and the
French cable company.
1t is supposed that the reason Venezuela
objects to any scheme of obligatory arbi-
tration is because it would take certain
cases in which foreigners are interested
from the jurisdiction Of the national
courts.
