CROKER IN IRISH POLITICS
RumOr that the New York Boss
May Desire to Enter
Parliament.

LONDON. June 2.-The newspapers are
reviving. the report that Richard Croker
cherishes an ambition to enter the British
Parliament as an Irish nationalist member.
Recently Mr.. Croker has taken an interest
in the work OF the nationalists, made con-
tributions to the party funds. lent auto
mobiles for electioneering purposes and
identified himself with the party by ap-
pearing on the platform at the recent con-
vention in Dublin. 1t Is doubtful, however,
If Mr.. Croker would be willing to fore
swear his American citizenship and more
doubtful II he could find a constituency de-
string 10 take him up as a candidate, or II
the party leaders would welcome the ac-
quisition of a politician OF such MASTER
full nature.
A member of the Irish nationalists re-
marked to the Associated Press that the
party would not welcome any attempt to
introduce American machine" methods
into its politics.
Mr.. Croker's health however is a bar
rier 10 his re-embarking in active work OF
any sort. He shows the weight OF his "a
years, although he is stIN vigorous. HIS
recent illness was more severe than pub
lished reports indicated The doctors pro-
nounced It Brlght's disease ard at one time
almost gave M hone for his recovery. but
they finally declared him. cureSs although

TOPEKA. Kan. June 2-The very ex-
tstence OF the Kansas State Board OF Rail
road commissioners will be attacked in the
supreme court here tomorrow when a case
involving the Missouri Pacific railway
comes UP, according to B. p Waggoner,
state senator and general attorney for that
company. The decision promises to be far
reaching. The Missouri Pacific will contest
a recent order of the board requiring the
railway to establish daily passenger SER
vice on what is known as the Madison
branch. a small line extending from Kansas
into Missouri. The people along the line
say they are entitled to this service, al
though q report of q referee appointed to
take evidence has filed report declaring
the business Of the road does not Justify
1t. An application made for a writ Of man
damus to compel the road to maintain this
service will be argued tomorrow before the
supreme court. II is understood the state
will ask to have the report of the referee
set aside and the supreme court order the
service established MY waggoner is
quoted as saying he would attack the whole

numerous decisions Of the supreme court,
that a commission created by the legisla-
ture is an agent of that body and that its
powers are purely of a legislative nature.
Whatever orders a board or commission
may make are simply the acts Of this board
as the agents Of the legislature.
I'VE will try to show that the legisia-
turs has no right to delegate these powers
to a board. We will try to show that these
acts must be done by the legislature and
not by board.

former diocese, embracing Minnesota and

EacinR Summit avenue, the new cathe-
dral will occupy a dominant site upon
the brow Of st. Anthony hill. The great
white structure, rising above every other
local building, even the marble CAPITOL
will stand forth in the eyes of strangers
who approach the city as the architeo-
tural monument of ST. Paul
In his address Archbishop Ireland re-
viewed the rapid growth of the church In
the northwest and referred to religious
freedom in America in the following words:
Founded upon American SOIL the ca
thedral lifts confidently and hopefully It's
walls and dome-assured that no persecut-
ing edct will wrest it from its sacred pur-
nose. that no sacrilegious hand viii dare
loosen one single stone from It's appointed
place. Where is the land today In which
the rights of religion are more safely
guarded. Children of the holy church,
thank America, and call yourselves blessed
that you are citizens thereof"
kilograms of congratulation from Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the pope were read.
The cathedral will cost upwards of 5000
