CROKER FROWNS
ON BONE DRY LAW

NEW YORK, June Al don't think
glass of beer or glass of wine is
going to do a man any harm and I
think he ought to have one when he
wants it"
That is where Richard Croker
stands on prohibition. He interrupted
his dinner at the Democratic Club
last night long enough to tell what
he thought about this question and
the league of nations, but he fought
shy of the topic on which he can talk
most interestingly and on which he
was most pressed to talk. that is
politics.
Mr.. Croker came up from Palm
Beach on Monday and is at the Hotel
Savoy with Mrs. Croker until tomor-
row. He leaves for Ireland tomorrow
to spend the summer on his estate,
Glencairn, five miles outside Dublin,
and will return to America probably
in October for the winter.
1t is his first visit to New York in
two years, and the man who for many
years was the ruler of Tammany Hall
marveled at the changes which have
enveIoped Manhattan even in the two
short years.
Eve are out sightseeing this after
noon," he said, land I cannot get over
the changes in the city. And let me
tell you, young man, you're going to
have a hot summer here. Why it's
worse here today than it is down
South in the middle of the summer.
1t makes me feel sorry for the
little fellows on the East Side.
The poor children, they are the
ones who suffer most And it
makes me glad there are men in the
world like Nathan Straus, who has
devoted his wealth to the providing
OF milk to the poor. Think what his
charity has meant in this country.

GOVERNMENT PREPARES
TO TAKE NEXT CENSUS

WASHINGTON, Oct. g. (Spl.)--In
preparation for the work Of taking the
decennial census which begins all over
the country on Jan. 2, the bureau Of
census has taken over the big three
story building, erected at the begin
ming Of the war and which has housed
the division Of military aeronautics. At
first the census bureau will have but
half of the building. but before January,
1t is anticipated that the war depart
ment will surrender the entire build
ing to the bureau.
That the work of taking this census
is no mean Undertaking may be seen
from the fact that the force engaged
on it will number some 10000 persons,
OF this number 81, 900 will be required
for the field work and the remaining
5000 viii comprise the office force In
Washington for tabuiatlon, classification
and the statistical compilation of vari-
Gus kinds required.
: Although the collecting Of the data
must be done In the old way, that Is,
by having enumerators going from
change In the methods of tabulating.
kinds many Of them products OF the
mechanical laboratory of the census bu-
reau, will be Installed In the building
which will house the bureau. These
will include punching and sorting ma
chimes through which all the cards will
be routed and which leave nothing to
chance. These machines not only are
time savers, but seem to be almost i'm
bued with human Intelligence. They
will count and classify millions of the
cards

WILLIAMS ELECTION
|. WOULD MAKE ROW
Monteverde Probably Would
Hold Over Pending Settle
ment of Contest.

In the event of Mr. Williams election
an event of which he processes him
self to be certain, but which is not
admitted as a probable eyentuality by
Rowlett Paine and his associates on
the Citizens league tcket--there is
considerable speculation as to what
would happen.
Neither MIR. Paine nor his associates
have yet presented any actual proof
that Mr. Williams voted In DeSotC
county, Mississippi. in 1915. Proof as
to his vote Is probably not needed, as
he admits that he did vote In a legal
lied primary election.
If he should be elected and his elegi-
bility be then attacked, before the in
coming of the new city commission next
January, Mayor Monteverde would con-
tinue to hold office until his successor
was qualified.
The contest would begin before the
city commission. Probably, no matter
which way the members Of the city
commission decided, the question would
be carried to the courts,
II the courts finally held that Mr.
Williams Was ineligible, then whoever
stood next in the number Of votes fol
mayor would be entitled to the office
as the courts would not invalidate tn,
entire election because one candidate
was ineligible.
Mr. Williams has, OF course, made ne
political promises. But>Mayor Monte
verde is supporting him. presumaDi
with the hopel at least, that II Mr.. VIII
liams is elected, his administration will
support Mr.. Monteverde In his race TO

Commissioner Quinn Is booking still
further ahead. He hopes to have tn
