CROKER WILL IN DOUBT
Estate Of Old Tammany Chief Esti.
mated at $2,o0o,ooo to $5,ooo,ooo

Now York, May 9. - Relatives
friends and former political associates
Of Richard Croker, who died Saturday
In Ireland, are speculating as to
whether the former Tammany Hall
chieftain left will.
Richard Croker, Jr., said that in his
opinion his father probably left no will.
Even IL he did, he added, there was
nothing of material value to dispose
Of, for control of his fortune passed to
his second wife, "the Indian bride"
who was Miss Beulah Benton Edmond
son, Of Florida, after the bitter litiga-
tion in which the children by his first
marriage failed to wrest the estate from
her on the grounds that he was in
competent. From other sources it was
said that both Mr.. Croker and his wife
made new willis abroad just prior to
coming to America for the last time.
The estate is yariously estimated from
81, 900, 900 to $5,OOO,00O. A consid-
cradle part Of the fortune is said to be
property along the waterfront at Palm
Beach, Fla, worth about $4,000, 900.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Yesterdays market undoubtedly up.
actionists considerably. While last
weeks reaction did a small amount OF
housecleaninS It was not quite drastic
enough to entirely rectify the over
buying that has come into the market.
Nevertheless the performance yesterday
demonstrated conclusively that stocks
are still in strong hands, or. Mt least,
the leaders Of the constructive party
have not lost their grip.
1t was also shown the technical posi-.
ton OF the main body Of stocks was not
as serious as was popularity supposed.
while on the other hand, there was
present convincing evidence Of an over.
extension Of professional bearish ac-
tfvity, especially in what are popu-
larly known as the pool favorites.

U. g: I. shareholders yesterday that
It was expected the operating loss Of
the Philadelphia Gas Works would be
materially less the present year than

months ago had expressed satisfaction
on the condition Of the property and
expressed the hope something definite
would come Of this in expediting a set :
tlement of the lease question: -.
mot only Is temporary relief need
ed" he said. "but provisions should
be made looking ahead. as the lease of
the works by the U. G. /. terminates

1926 will call for a great deal Of plant
expansion and construction work.

Western Money Conditions

No material change is shown in the
money market throughout the West.
Banks now are in virtually the same
position as business concerns occupied
during the latter part of the year 1920.
In other words, the market for money
shows declining tendency and rates
for loans arc considerably diversified.
Two years ago there was an accumula.
ton Of goods in virtually all mercantile
lines, for which there was ostensibly
no market unless sales were made at
concessions whereby the public was in.
ducetl to make purchases.
Whatever may be the course of money
rates for the future depends largely.
naturally, on the extent of the demand
for funds in the requirements Of loans
by commercial and business concerns.
There is, however, possibility that
II commercial business continues on a
comparatively small scale, this may
have a tendency to increase the demand
for funds for speculation, II the stock
markets continue to display the activity
as now being shown.

SUSPECT tNCENDIARIES

Others Blame "Moonshlners'

Chatsworth. N. j., May 2.-Forcst
fires burning simultaneously at widely
separated spots in the vicinity Of Chats
worth and sweeping over thousands of
acres OF pine lands have aroused sus.
picions among cranberry bog owners in
this section that the flames have been
started by a new type Of incendt larry.
That theory is also shared by many
fire wardens. following the outbreaks in
many sections Of the forest zone last
week. Another theory is that some Of
the fires have been accidentally started
by "moonshiners," said to be operating
stills in the woods.
A fire burning along the new road
from New Lisbon to Chatsworth is one
Of the most destructive In years in this
section. At one time the flames were
thought to be menacing the buildings Of

NOVEMBER FIRE
LOSS LESS THAN
PAST MANY YEARS

For the month just past, the fire
losses in Brunswick have been less
than any previous November in the
several years and amounting to only
S2,619 and all of this total except
$73. 81 resulted from the fire at the
home Of Joe du Bignon, out on Lee
street, between Monk and Mansfield.
This loss was caused by the fact that
the department at the time the alarm
was sent in was lighting a fire in the
northeastern part Of the city and
could not be reached on account Of
the fact that no man is left at the
department to answer alarms when
the laddies are engaged in ightins
connagrations.
All of the fires last month except
