WHISPERING LARRY,
CROKER'S FRIEND, DIES

NEW YORK. Dec. 26-"WhisperInz
Larry" Delmour, one OF the most pic
turesqUe characters in New York public
life and for m my years a power in
Tammany politics, died last evening OF
an acute attack Of the grip at his home.
1l6 East Eighty-ninth street He was
taken III last Friday. and yesterday be-
came delirious. His thoughts turned
back 10 the old days under Richard
Croker and his mutterings were con
stantly OF events which have passed
into local history
At his side. devoting herself to him
with unremitting attention, was his
wife. whom he married two and a half
years ago after she had nursed him
through an attack of pneumonia. Mu-
nicipal Court Justice Herman Joseph.
DT. +. Benjamin Andrews whose father
was his physician for forty years: Drs.
E q. Janeway and Ramsdell. and sew
eral other old friends were with him.
Lawrence DelmOur held more of New
York's political secrets of the last quar-
ter Of a century than have been held by
any other man, except, possibly, Croker
himself. Delmour was known as the
most eloquent listener of his day.
Without telling anything himself. he
found out what everybody else knew,
and on many a critical occasion he used
his knowledge for the benefit of Croker
and the organization as long as Croker
was its leader.

Tells Of Crooked Work in
Insurance. Election.
ALTERED BALLOTS
Were Sent to TelIers, by Order Of
Manager of POIiCyhoIders' Com
mittee, Says the Witness.

New York, May W.-C. f. Caring.
ton, former employe of the interna-
tional policyholders' committee, testi.
fled in police court Thursday that
George X. Scrugham, manager for
the committee, instructed him and
other employees to alter defective bal
lots sent to them in connection with
the election of directors of the New
York Life Insurance Co. He declared
also that Scrugham had not forward
ed to the New York LITE tellers So
called administration ballots" which
, fell into the hands of the pOlicyhold.
ers committee.
"Scrugham told me that when any
of the administration ballots fell into
my hands there was no need of send
Ing them TO the company" testified
Darlington. 'and he added jocularly
that | might send them upstairs to
him, az he had some chloroform for
them" Carrlngton's testimony was
given after he had been promised by
Assistant District Attorney Smyth
that anything he testified to would
not be used against him.
The testimony of Carrlngton was
given in police court when he, Scrug-
ham and Charles Stirrup were ar
raigned on charge of conspiracy in
connection with the New York Life
election. Stirrup also was an employe
OF the international policyholders'
committee. The three were arrested
! several days ago and have been at
liberty on bail When they were ar
, n orrip or
examination, but the other men, who
were represented by counsel, declared
themselves In readiness to proceed.
Darlington took the stand for the
prosecution va
He said that when the first ballots
began to come in they were examined
by clipping off a very small strip OF
the end OF the envelope, after which
the envelopes were carefully resealed.
II defective ballots were found they
were fixed up lie declared that
this was done by Scrugham's order.
When there was plenty of time the
defective ballots and envelopes were
returned to the policyholder with a
request that he make the correction.
But when only two or three days re-
mained, he declared, the corrections
were made by the Office STAFF.
| He said that, acting upon instruc-
tions from Scrugham, he told the
clerks to make as close copy of the
policyhOlders' handwriting as posi-.
BILE. Later, when the time was grow
ing short, he was told to instruct the
girls not to take any great care In
this respect He said the reason the
altered and corrected ballots were
kept separate was so that If correct
envelopes and ballots came In from
!, policyholders they could be substi,
tuted for the altered ones.

Some English Paupers
are Housed and fed.
A A'NEWINFIRMARY
AT Hammefsmith Is furnished cs
GorgeousIy as Some Of the
!. Grandest Hotels.

London, May 10.--Although nearly
all classes of Englishmen would ap-
pear to be reveline In the grievances
that are daily being voiced through
out the land, 1t cannot be said that
there Is any lack Of solicitude for the
welfare Of the British pauper, whose
lot, unlike that of the Gilbert and
Sullivan policeman, would seem to be
far from unhappy.
This fact has been strikingly evi.
denced in recent months as q result OF
investigations conducted by the local
government board in the matter OF
the poor law expenditures, but Thurs
day 1t reached point of sheer amaze.
ment during an inquiry at the in
stance of the Rate Payers association
into the cost Of the new workhouse
and infirmary In the London borough
OF Hammersmith. 1T developed that
this workhouse in many details was
equal II not superior to any noble
mans mansion and that It could vie
with the most expensive hotel.
The entrance to the building Is be.
tween handsome screens fitted with
pitch pine and plate glass; one of the
floors is Of tiled mosaic work, SUR
rounded by a dado OF encaustic ware
of the most expensive type; every
part of the building is brilliantly
lighted with electricity and system
OF duplicate wiring had been installed.
Counsel for the Rate Payers asso.
citation said this system had been sug-
gested recently for Buckingham pal
ace, but 1t was rejected on the ground
of expense. The dining hall is almost
baronial in style and equal to any
thing in any OF the great colleges Of
the country. The light to this room Is
softly diffused BY means of stained
glass windows. The site and the
building cost over $1,3O0,000, which Is
equivalent to the rate of sl.675 per
bed. f
Other interesting features include
the cost of the cooking apparatus. SIS
per pauper, while the annual cost of
electricity Is also SIS per Individual.
The local government board, OF
which John Burns is the head, seems
determined to sift this matter down
and prevent suc& extravagances, and
there is a growii4 agitation to abolish
the boards of po1r law guardians and
turn over the obuol OF warehouses;
to thes borough authorities. =
