Croker Deeds
Wife Clencairn.
Irish Estate
Gift of S2,O0O,OOO Home
Is Made to Woman Now
Assailed by Three Chill
dren of Tammany ex-Boss

Richard Croker has decided Glencairn,
his estate in Ireland, to his wife, Mrs
Bula Edmondson Croker, William F.
McCombs, attorney for the Croker
children in their suit against the for
mer Tammany chief, announced ycster-
day. The property has been said to be
worth S2,o0o,0OO.
In statement issued at his home
in West Palm Beach, Fla, Yesterday
Mr.. Croker admitted the gift, but said
that the estate was worth scarcely
more than a tenth the popular valua-
tion placed on it.
Overvalued. Says Croker
"lt is true that have given this
property to my wife" said he. at is
not, however, worth S2,0O0 900. 1t cost
S150,000 and could not be sold for $3.50,
900 to-day. AS usual, the value Of my
possessions is being heavily cxaggcr-
ated. That is all care to say about
the matter at present"
Allegations that Mrs. Croker is
scheming to gain possession Of all her
husbands wealth, thus depriving his
daughter and two sons of their share,
figure in the suit filed by the children
last week in Florida. Pending hearing
Of the action Croker was cnioined
from disposng of any Of his property.
Mr. McCombs cited the reputcd
transfer Of Glcncairn AS substantiating
his clients charge that the one-time
political boss no longer is capable Of
handling his own affairs.
Land Under Lease Transferred
He said his information from ireland
was that two deeds had been executed
by Croker and recorded as required
by the Irish law. One assigns to Mrs
Croker in fee simple all the real es-
tate at Glcncarn. The other trans
fers that part of the land under lease
and has been fled with the land com
missioner, to whom Mrs. Croker has
given power Of attorney to collect the
rents.
Mrs. Croker, according to Mr.. Nc
Combs, has leased the estate for two
years to Mr.. Meycrscough, who has
installed Il trainer by the name of
Grundy to handle the Croker race
horses Mrs. Croker also has, it was
said, been given bill Of sale to all
the horses on the place, some of which
are very valuable,
"The sole purpose of the suit is to
establish position Of the children
against whom Nh. Croker has made
certain allegations" said MIR. McCombs.

to have him committed to any institu-

Seen as End of
LOwden Boom
Washington Views Result
as Narrowing the Repub-
lican Presidential Fight
to Wood and johnson
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Michigan's
primary is very generally accepted here
as narrowing the fight in the Republi-
can National Convention down to Wood
and Johnson. This does not mean
deadlock may not ensue and some dark
horse be named, bit it does mean that
virtually all the candidates now in the
race except johnson and Wood. have
been substantially handicapped.
While disappointed, the Wood people
are not as dismayed as might be cx-
pected. They regard the result as prac-
tically eliminating all their other COM
petitors except Senator Johnson, and
they are extremely confident it will be
impossible for Mr. Johnson to get the
nomination.
Some Of Mr.. Johnson's opponents arc
dwelling on the fact that Michigan,
which has given him this tremendous
vote, is the same state which four
wears ago voted to have Henry Ford
nominated by the Republican convcn-
ton Had the vote of Detroit been

Detroit has been for some time hot

returns. the parts Of Michigan which
arc still agricultural, and where the
same American families have lived
since Civil War times. went heavily
for Wood 1t was only in the cities,
particularly those cities where the
automobile industry has enormously ~
increased the population within the
last twenty years, that johnson p'lcd
up the votes.
Those discounting Johnson's victory
point out that this will be thoroughly y
understood in the other primary states,
and while the prestige Of the victory
may help the Californian, on the other
hand, this evidently strong support
from the radical labor vote may cut
both ways and rouse claw and order
sentiment against johnson in other
states.

BY William c. Dreher
Special Cable to The Tribune

'cOWT1snI, lS-O. New YORK Tribune Inc.)
BERLIN, April 6.--The action of
France in occupying Frankfort. Darn
stadt and other Rhine cities, because
German government forces are advanc-
ing in the Rhineland neutral zone. is
regarded here as unreasonable. In high
circles attention is called to the fact
that the number Of German troops in
vading the region is less than the
Treaty of Versailles allows for the oc-
cupntion of the neutral zone, and that
France is without even a legal case.
The treaty forbids "the maintenance
and the assembly of armed forces,
either permanently or temporarily, and
military maneuvcrs of any kind" in
the neutral zone east of the Rhine. and
adds that a violation constitutes "a
hostile act" "calculated to dis
turb the peace of the world"
1t is asserted here that the German
government force comprises only 1900
men. The statement that this army
threatens the peace of the world is
rldiculed her.
German officials insist that as Ger
many cannot carry out the provisions
Of the treaty with respect to the de-
livery of coal to France unless order
is restored in the Ruhr district, Pre-
micr Mllerand is acting directly con-
trary to even French interests in OBJ
jecting to military action against the
"Red" army.
1t is suggested in the press here that
Premier Millerand is merely playing
for a strong position in the Chamber
Of Deputies and hopes to gain artificial
prestige by his attitude in ordering the
occupation of German cities.
