NEW YORK, May 2.-The society Of

ing regret at the demise of Richard
Croker, former Tammany chief. who
died last Saturday at his home. Glen
cairn Castle, ireland. Messages OF
coincidence from the society and from
individual members and old-time as
sociates Of Mr.. Croker were cabled to
the widow. The national Democratic
Club also, by resolution. expressed
regret at the loss to New York
democracy Of the former Tammany
leader.
Richard Croker gave all his prop
erty. both In Ireland and America TO
his Indian bride in order to prevent
a will contest and thus brought on
the court actions in Florida to have
the former Tammany chief declared
incompetent and his estate ana AFFAIRS
placed in the hands Of Richard Gro
ker, jr. according to Frederick r.
Ryan, attorney for the son.

he owned to his wife long before
there was any trouble between him
and his children" said Mr.. Ryan.

husbands half passed automatically

Florida supreme court, whose deci-
sion is expected soon, should declare
Mr.. Croker to have been incompe-
to his wife. lawyers here said that a
similar action would undoubtedly be
started ip Dublin to wrest 61encairn
Castle and all other holdings from the
widow. Mr.. Ryan refused to COM
ment on that angle OF the legal stu
alton.
The Croker estate Is estimated to
be Worth about 100000.
No Word From widow.
The members of the Croker family
here are without any message from
the second Mrs. Croker with regard
to the death or details for the funeral
Of the former Tammany leader.
Richard Croker. jr, said that the fam
lily learned Of his fathers death from
newspaper dispatches, ana that every
cable sent from here to Glencsirn had
remained unanswered.
IT have absolutely no knowledge of
my fathers death other than what /
have learned from. the public press"
he said. Neither myself nor any
member Of the family has been noti-

sands Of people of Concordia
parish. louisiana, still are In their
flooded homes and will not leave them
except in the last extremity. flood
relief officials stated this morning.
The majority of families have only
such quantities of food as usually
found in farming communities at this
season. and with the prospects OF
the parish continuing to be Inundated
for weeks. suffering is certain unless
relief arrangements are speedily per-
fected.
The people of the food zone are re-
luctant to leave, because they wish TO
start planting operations at the earliest
possible time after the flood waters re-
cede. A survey to determine the num-
Der who remain in their homes will be
made at once. In some instances Il is
reported that residents of Concordia
who have been compelled to place their
belongings on hurriedly constructed
RATS are suffering greatly from the
exposure to the weather.
With the strain on the levees in a
large measure relieved above the crew

duced. No serious trouble has been re-
