MAYOR PREPARES
WRIGHT MEMORIAL
To Be Presented to Council,
Monday Expresses the
Sorrow of This City.

Mayor W. W. Zimmerman today
drafted the following memorial, which
he will present to the city council
Monday night for approval:
On Thursday, May 80, 1912, Wilbur
Wright died at his home at Dayton,
Ohio, and in his death the American
people and the world of science suf-
fered a terrible loss. Wilbur Wright
and his brother Orville were the first
to solve the mystery of human flight
in heavier-than-air machines and will
take their place in history along side
of Fulton, Stephenson, Bell and Edi-
son.
Whereas, Wilbur Wright at one
time lived in the City of Richmond, l
deem it proper that this city should
officially express it's deepest sorrow
over his death, and extend to his be-
reaved family it's heartfelt sympathy
over their great loss.
Therefore, be it resolved that a
copy of this resolution be sent to the
members of the Wright family at
Dayton, Ohio, by order of the city
council of Richmond, Indiana"
This morning after Mayor thinner
man had announced that he intended
to present the above memorial to
council Monday night for adoption it
was suggested that the city should be
officially represented at the funeral
held Saturday. This question may be
discussed at the meeting of the board
of public works tomorrow

DENY T. p. TICKETS.

CHICAGO, May 31.-Ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt will have no
tickets to the Republican national
convention in Chicago. President Taft
may have as many as he pleases. That
was the situation that confronted
friends of the Colonel today when
Chairman Harry S. New of the SUBJ
committee turned down a request by
Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's campaign
manager, for $50 tickets.
"The position of Roosevelt and Taft
are reversed" said Fred w. Upham,
in charge of the convention seating ar
rangements. Tickets are given to the
president as a courtesy. A candidate
for the presidency has no claim on the
committee. Four years ago Roosevelt
as president could have all the tickets
he wanted but Taft was only a candi-
date and could get none"
The explanation, however, does not
satisfy the Roosevelt men. They see
in the committees stand evidence of
discrimination and are ready to fight
The refusal may bring to a head the
half-formed plans to wage war on the
committee when the convention opens.

Croker Suddenly Left Richmond
Years Ago After Getting
Fortune

Alvin E. Crocker left Richmond six
teen or seventeen years ago, taking up
his residence in New York city. His
leave-taking was shortly previous to
his receiving from the estate of his
brother, Charles Crocker. of San Fran
cisco, a substantial fortune. He has
never been in Richmond since that
time thought his son, Ollie Crocker,
mentioned in the dispatch from VIII
mington, has been here several times.
Mr.. Crocker's wife, who was divorced
from him some years ago. still resides
here. NJ. L. Crocker of Richmond, is
brother
Few Richmond business men were
better known during his many years in
the city. He was engaged as a mer-
chant forty years ago, and during the
closing years of his Richmond career
was in the insurance business. About
twenty years ago Mr.. Crocker was one
of the promoters of a Mexico mining
project in which numerous Richmond
citizens were heavy investors The
company failed in it's ambitious enter
prise and the Richmond men who in
vested lost their money At that time
Mr. Crocker resided on North Sixth
and A streets, but following the un-
successful mining venture he was in
Richmond only part of his time,
finally going east in 1895. Several peo-
pie have seen him in New York and
Boston during the interim, though
nothing seems to have been known
here of his alleged successful mining
ventures alluded to in the Wilmington
dispatch Neither had il been known
here that his Whereabouts for eleven
years had been matter of mystery,
and some doubt is expressed as to the
authenticity of the dispatch In this
particular.

Markley, L. A. Bunyan and others.
Following the talks light refreshments
were served. About fifty veterans

Mr.. Comstock talked upon the char
acter of Benedict Arnold, the traitor
of the revolutionary war. Mr.. Com
stock declared that Arnold's nature
was a strange one and was a mixture
of weak and good qualities. He said
that he was a most brilliant young
soldier.
Frank TILES Address.
l.. Frank Tile, of Anderson, deliv-
cred the memorial address at the
meeting at the Coliseum yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Tile not only lauded
the good deeds and bravery of the SOL
diers but praised the mothers, sis
ters and sweethearts of the boys of
'61.
while l desire to pay you tribute
for what you have done in assisting
to preserve the country" said the
speaker addressing the veterans, yet
/ also desire to say that the part play
ed by the women was most heroic and
praiseworthy. They stayed at home,
sowed the wheat, reaped it, carried it
to town to the mills. brought back
flour and fed the little ones.
Can you remember, John, the day
when you stood at the front gate, with
your musket on your shoulder and
kissed your mother, wife, sister or
sweetheart goodbye? OF course they
er patriotism stood up in them and
they said Go and do your duty to your
country And you marched down the
street, musket on your shoulder, en-
couraged by their words.
"All through the war you received
letters from them full of encourage
ment and they made you fight that
much harder with the anticipation
that the war would be ended that
much sooner, so you could get back to
your loved ones.
And do you remember the packag-
es which you would receive every
two or three weeks? The boxes would
be filled with clothing, food or other
things which had been prepared by
the women back home?
"Of course you remember all of
that and we are proud of you, We ad-
mire you and adore you. You have
done your work and you did it we'll"
Mr.. Tile devoted a part of his ad-
dress in paying tribute to the mem
ory of Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's
war governor. who the speaker said
was the greatest of the war governors.
He said that it was the unflinching
and loyal stand taken by Governor
Morton, who by-the-way was born in
Wayne county, that gave assurance
to President Lincoln that the North
and Middle West stood by him
