announced tonight by Secretary

Before the senate agricultural com
mittee today, Secretary Of War Weeks
declared his belief that speedy action
could not be had in congress while
the house and senate continued to
move along what appeared to him to
be opposite paths in seeking to find
a solution of the problem.
He suggested that the two legisla-
tive bodies get together, work out a
proposal acceptable to both, and find
a person who would undertake its eX-
ecution. He said he believed the task
could better be performed by a feder-
al agency created and empowered by
congress to negotiate contracts for the
sale, lease and development OF the
shoals projects rather than by con-
gress with it's lack of administrative

Croker was indicted and tried, the jury disagreed and the case was subsequently thrown out of court Croker denied that he did the shooting and the man who did it after ward confessed It was characteristic of Croker that although he knew the name of the man who did the shooting he would not reveal it.
 For nearly twenty years Croker was on the payroll of New York City either as alderman, coroner, fire commission CT or city chamberlain. He was cor oner when accused of the shooting of MsKenna. While running for cleo tion as alderman he clashed with the famous Boss Tweed and won the cleo tion despite the boss, but Tweed had him legislated out of office.
 One of the odd phases of Crocker's career, in view of his subsequent rec ord as Tammany chieftain, was his as- sertion that he went into politics to put stop to the robbery of the city by Boss Tweed and his band of plum derers.

 From present indications there are no signs of the waters beginning to recede. On the contrary the flood is slowly but surely increasing in the entire territory scattered from Memphis, Tennessee to the Missis- sippi Delta, below New Orleans. The flood waters reach far back on both sides of the river Thousands upon thousands of people are abso- lutely homeless, floodless and shel- terless. They are exposed to the elements, without the means of ma- terial for warm food and drink.
 Untold numbers are facing un- questioned economic bankruptcy. Their lands are flooded, their crops ruined, their stock drowned, and nothing is left but hope and cour- age. Latest reports state that the fifteen hundred refugees at Harris onburg, Louisiana are practically with out food, and are in danger of star vation The situation here is rapid ly becoming worse, because the num- Der of the, victims at this point is being constantly increased by the ar rival of additional refugees. The levee engineer here is working hard with all available labor as he an- ticipates a further rise in the river within few days. Meanwhile the problem of sheltering and feeding these 1500 refugees is becoming crit ical Throughout the whole flood area in half a dozen states, thous- ands of volunteers are continuing their search in boats and water craft of all kinds for marooned families.

When Honest John Kelly died in 1885 the reins of Tammany Hall were put into Croker's hands by agreement of the district leaders. His leader ship was decribed as matchless, from political standpoint. He ruled Tam many with an iron hand and brooked no interference. If his leadership was questioned he called the leaders to- gether and demanded to know which of them was dissatisfied. None dared to brave his wrath. Then he ordered them out to win another victory fuc Tammany.
 As Tammany's chief he virtually controlled about 100000 votes and in- fluenced much greater number. He exercised tremendous power. With other Tammany leaders he dictated nominations for every political office in New York from the mayor down to the lowest clerk. His orders went to city and district conventions and were rarely disobeyed. When judge failed to give obedience he was disciplined by Croker's refusal to renominate him.
 Under Croker's rule, it was estimat- ed that Tammany collected from city office holders, saloon keepers and others more than a million dollars a year as a campaign fund. Croker said no accounting of this fund was ever given The finance committee kept no books. Large business houses seeking city contract found it necessary to con- suit Croker.
