Contests over the estate of Richard
Croker. former Tammany leader who
died last Saturday in ireland, may be
carried on here. in Dublin and in Flor
ida. That they will be started became
more evident yesterday when word was
recelVeG from Dublin that Mr.. Croker
had insisted on making a new will only
tEree months before his death and after
his legal advisers had opposed his MAX
ing 1T for fear of litigation which such
a document would produce.
Members of the Croker family here

estate. estimated at from 5000, 900 to
So,oOoGc0. The sons and daughters have
got their only information from an old
employe
Law suits still are pending in Flor
ida. One OF these on which decision Is
expected soon questions Mr.. Croker's
soundness of mind and will determine
largely what is to be done in other
suits.
1t Is now assumed that the new will
left everything to Mrs Croker, the
indian princess bride of the Tammany
mans latter years. Whatever action
grows out of that will be complicated
oy the fact that the property involved
IS located here, in Florida and in Ire
land.

The Premier contingent Joy. ally supported the little lady who is the idol at both mine and mill, and their voting strength overcame all opposition to their choice Soon after midnight all othey activities ceased while the crownine ceremo- ny took place.
 The Queen, (whO is seven years old. and the youngest of the oandi- dateS.) dressed in ermine robes, advanced from the waiting yOom. through the length of the hall. es- corted by Grand Usher Arthur Hall. and attended by little tEain- bearers, June and Mona Mehlfeld, and mounted the throne al the cen. tor of the stage where Prime Min ister Joe Ulmer, president of the Ketchikan IgloO. placed the crown upon her head and a gold nugget necklace around hey neck. amidst the cheers of the assembly. It was rather a trying ordeal for the little lady, but she bore herself right re- eally. and one could almost believe that a re-incarnatiOn of "Good Queen Bess" was actually taking place.
