sp,c,at Cable D,spotch TO THE yin.

speTul tdOfe Desputch 10 HE SLN
DUBLIN. Feb. 25.---Richard Croker gave
his reasons to-day for believing that
Charles +. Murphy should quit as leader
of Tammany Hall. lie said the New
York newspapers have tried and con-
demned Murphy and he ought to go. In
an interview with the correspondent OF
THE SuN Mr. Croker said:
IAN the good that Tammany has done
is forgotten and everything else is re-
membered. It's case of give "a dog an
III name and hang him Most OF the
New York newspapers are against Muir
ply and therefore. in my opinion. he
should go. Not that ne has ever done
anything wrong. believe he is an up
right. well meaning man. but as the
papers are against him he cannot con-
tinue. There IL no Judge and jury in
New York; the papers try and condemn
man. They have condemned Murphy
and therefore he had better go for the
good of the organization"
Mr.. Croker's present opinion that Mr..
Murphy must retire because the news
papers have condemned him does not coin
eide exactly with what he said about
Mr. Murphy in letter to the lat John
Fox. ex-president Of the National Demo-
cratic Club. on November IS last. He
wrote:
The result Of the election did not sur
prise me as I felt sure that Mitchell would
have very large majority. Murphy was
a big handicap on Mccall. The Hall will
never win under Murphy's management.
I hope some good men will get in and
drive all them grafters contractors out"
This letter was published on February
10. Mr.. Croker told correspondents who
asked him about II that II was a private
letter never Intended for publication. and
he wouldn't discuss II. He added:
II have no desire to Jump on Mr.
Murphy when he Is under fire. II would
come very badly from me"
The disclosure OF Mr. crokeTs Novem
Der medltations made great stir in Tam
many. Mr.. Murphy didn't say q word ex
cept That's past" Tom Foley was $,
! vexed that ne said. "Croker's so old he
getting foolish" Judge O'Dwyer and tn,
anti-hurphy members OF the Nationa
! Democratic Club were happy. But AS Mr.
Croker has no visible finger In Tamman,
affairs now Mr.. Murphy and the Hal
| went along serenely.
Mr. Croker and Mr.. Murphy fell out II
1909 over the New York building cod
which Mayor Mcclellan vetoed. Tie,
made up few months later and twt
years ago when Mr. Croker was in thi

Croker said that the Sulzer Impeachment
was a mistake. which some persons con
strued rs a rap at the Chief.

LOUISIANA PROTESTS
FREE SUGAR IN TARIFF
State Contends UnderwOOd-Sim
mons Law Violates Cuban
Treaty Of 1902.

wAsHINGroN, Feb. 25.--The State Of
Louisiana has undertaken to block the en-
forcemenA OF the free sugar provision Of
the Underwood simmons tariff law.
The first step in this movement was
made this week when the Attorney Cen
eral Of Louisiana and members OF the
state delegation In Congress argued before
Attorney-General McReynolds that the
Underwood Simmons Law In repeating the
sugar duties violated the treaty OF 1902
with Cuba and thus involved Itself In q
violation Of the Constitution.
1t IL understood that II the argument
Of the states representatives is not up
held by the Attorney General an action
will be brought In the court to prevent
the Secretary of the Treasury from put
ting into effect the sugar schedule OF the
new tariff law In place OF the Dingley
sugar rates.
The state OF Louisiana owns sugar
plantations and thus acts In it's own in
terest In seeking to prevent the removal
of the protective tariff on sugar. as pro-
vided by the Underwood-Slmmons law
The contention OF the state Is that under
the treaty OF 1902 and by the act passed
putting that treaty into effect the United
States Government obligates itself &c
make no change In the sugar duties in the
twenty years Throughout which the treaty
was to remain operative.
1t is asserted that there was no power
in Congress to repeal the Cuban treat,
by statute. and therefore under the Con
stitution the Dingley rates that prevailed
at the time the treaty was negotiated
must continue in full force until thu
| treaty expires or Ia abrogated.
II 10 expected that Attorney Genera
McReynolds will render the decision to
morrow upon the contention Of Louisiana
