MRS. CROKER TELLSLIFE STORY
Indian Wife Of Former Tammany
Boss Denies Charges.

Palm Beach, Fla, April S.-Mrs.
Richard Croker. wife of the former
boss" of Tammany Hall. yesterday
made answer to the attacks upon
her reputation contained in the pa
pers of the suit brought by children
Of her husband to take the control OF
his property from him.
Mrs. Croker's story Of her life, as
detailed in statement given by
Harold Nathan, Mr. Crokers counsel,
is as follows:
"She was born III what was the In
dian Territory, near Mayville, Ark.
in 1884. She has never misrepresent-
ed her age.
"She is enrolled as Cherokee In
dian, one Of the five civilized tribes.
and as such has an allotment of land.
Her parents own ranch of 500
acres.
"She was educated in the Cherokee
National Female Seminary at Tahla-
quah,, Indian Territory. and was
graduated in 1902. She attended the
summer school at the University of
Chicago.
tShe taught mathematics in the
Tahlaquah seminary for about five
years. In 1908 she went to Boston
and entered DR.. Curry's school of ex-
preston. There she covered four
year course in three years. Her par
ents paid her expenses.
"She returned to Indian Territory
about 1911 and taught expression to
private pupils in Muskogee. In March,
1913, she represented Oklahoma in
the suffrage parade that was part OF
the Inauguration events. From
Washington she went to New York,
where she took vocal studies.
'Tn New York she maintained her.
self by giving recitals and by remit
tances from her parents. :.
''The statements that have been
made that she was cabaret and
chorus singer. that she appeared at
Churchilrs and in the Hippodrome
chorus. are wilfully maliciously false.
She never appeared at Churchil's
and never appeared at the Hippo
drome. .
"Shey has been accused of having a
gay time in the summer of 1914,
whereas she spent that summer CIV
ing recitals at number of camps OF
boys and girls in New England.
THE sensational charges made
against Mrs. Croker are jbaseless and
monstrous fabrications, unsupported
by competent proofs. She will no
longer tamely submit to the spread
ing of such false and defamatory
statements"
Mrs. Croker said that an affidavit
Of Palm Beach bank attached to
the complaints, which tended to sup
port the allegation that Mr.. Croker
has become senile and subject to the
undue influence of his wife, came
from an institution from which Mr..
Croker had withdrawn his account.

Mr. Wilson has indicated that he

wearied by year and q half Of life
under an executive under war powers
in time of peace and longed for the
freedom Of a government with separ-
ate and independent branches.
Passage Of the resolution, he said.
would put the United States back on
a normal basis without surrendering
any of the rights or privileges to
which it was entitled.
He added that grave domestic
questions made the action impera-
tive.
Labor, business and commerce are
all impatient to reach a status un-
der laws that-pertain to peace. It Is
the duty of congress to withdraw
from the president the power granted
for war purposes. We take no power
that belongs to him in time OF peace.
He is left to the utmost freedom to
negotiate a treaty with the advice
and consent of the senate, as pro-
yided in the constitution"
