CROKER ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER HIS INDIAN BRIDE
Not a Militant Sufragette and Wants
to Become Mother. He Says.
She Admits 1t.

West Palm Beach, Nov. &-Richard
Croker, the seventy ty-three-year-old BRIDE
groom. and his bride. aged twenty-three,
arrived here this afternoon on their
honeymoon. They expect to remain until
April.
The Tammany chief was splendidly
Crokeresque in answering interviewers,
except on the subject of Mrs. Croker,
about whom he was equally as splendidly
loquacious.
Asked If she was a suffragette, Croker
said, Only to partial degree
But she is Democrat" he continued
''She is one of the most enthusiastic and
energetic Democrats you ever saw. But
doubt il you could call her a suffra-
gette. Certainly she is not a militant
suffragette. She believes that women,
who own property in their own name,
should have the right of the ballot, but
do not think she wants women to be
given the ballot indiscriminately. She is
a very sensible young woman. Mrs
Croker candidly admits that it is her
ambition to become a mother"
There is one thing I want you to
say for me-" Mrs. Croker said, land that
is to correct the statement in some Of
the papers this morning that l am an
Indian squaw. An Indian squaw is an
Indian mother. I am not yet a squaw,

SURPLUS MONEY
CAN CUT DEBT
Proposal to Reduce Funded
Indebtedness viii Be
Debated.
BILL CARRIES $12,5OO.OOO
District Finances to Be Taken Up.
Commission May Be Given This
Desired Opportunity.

The proposal to grant the Commission
ers the power to use surplus revenues to
reduce the funded debt of the District
is expected to be the main point for de-
bate when the District bill is taken up
by Congress. The bill will carry $3.50 .0OI
and probably will be taken up on the
Thursday following the assembling OF
Congress.
The way appears smooth for the grant
ing OF this power. Commissioner Sddons
is said to have remarked that the 500 900
debt of the Government Hospital for the
Insane had been paid by the use of sur
plus funds.
The Commissioners have been requested
by the subcommittee having the matter
In charge to ascertain whether they have
power under existing law to turn over
to the Treasury for payment of the
funded debt the difference between the
$S,OO0,OO0 expected TO be raised next year
and the S6, 10000 which will be the Dis
trict's share OF appropriations for the
coming fiscal year.
Several members of the subcommittee
so favor the proposed grant of power
that they say specific Legislation should
be enacted if this power is not already
vested in the Commissioners.
Only Outstanding Debt.
There is no outstanding debt OF sany
size except the funded debt, as far as
Chairman Page of the subcommittee,
knows. This amounted to 1858, 900 on
September 30. The bonds were issued to
Nln until 1924. however, and it is doubted
mat all OF the holders will be willing TO
turn them in at the present time.
In the past it has been the policy to
appropriate about $4,000 for a sinking
fund to retire the 3.65 bonds. As many
OF these bonds as could be purchased at
a reasonable figure have been brought
up. United States bonds also have been
purchased with any surplus and the in
terest applied onto the interest on the
Districts debt. Therefore, IL the Com
missioners are given the proposed power
to place a part Of the 100000 in the
sinking fund, the Treasury will have to
