MRS. CROKER NAMES
RIVAL, SEEKS BALM
Ey-Fire Chiefs Wife Sues for
100000 Damages From
Husbands Employee. (

Mrs. Ella j. Croker has commenced
suit in the Supreme Court. Brooklyn,
against Miss Helen NJ. Day of Long
Beach, L. l., for 100000 damages. al
leging alienation of the affections of Ed
ward +. Croker who was formerly Chief
of the New York Fire Department. The
Crokers were married thirty-four years
ago.
None of the lawyers connected with
the case would discuss it. Miss Day is
declared to be about 35 and to be con-
nected with the Croker Fire Prevention
Company, of which the former Fire
Chief is the head. at 22 West Thirtieth
street. Manhattan.
In her complaint Mrs. Croker stated
that she and her husband lived in a
state of contenteo matrinony until 1908,
when Miss Day "wickedy and ma
liciously" gained his affections and per-
suaded him to leave his home.
Croker. according to mis- wife. has
spent large sums of money buying gifts
for Miss Day. 1t is alleged also that
Miss Day has "harbored and detained"
Croker UP to the present time.
Miss Day applied through counsel to
Supreme Court Justice Van Siclen yes
terday. for a bill of particulars compel
ling Mrs. Croker to state In greater de-
tail the allegations Of her complaint.
Miss Day would like Mrs. Croker 20
state in what way and at what time,
she. the defendant. deprived the plain
tiff of her husbands affections. Miss
Day also would like to know just when
and where she is supposed to have per-
suaded Croker to leave his home. She
wants to know just how Mrs. Croker
claims her husband spent the large
sums of money referred to.
Miss Day stated that II is her belief
that Mrs. Croker's suit is barred by
law because of her failure to bring 1t
sooner. The defendant added that the
Crockers separated in 1908, and that
Mrs. Croker obtained separation In
1911. She has refused TO live with her
husband since 1908. said Miss Day. who
denies all the charges of the complaint

Franchise to Cut Profits.

"It is true that they have been IA
vored. Legal franchises would require
Them to pay over a part of their profits
to the city by way OF rental. The Fifth
Avenue Coach Company paid last year
more than 100000. They would also
be required to put up a bond protecting
the city from liability in cases OF acci-
dents or from other financial loss, and
they would have to submit 70 legal
supervision of their operation by public
authorities. as other transportation COM
panies do. But these are conditions that
ought to be accepted as a matter Of
course. Some of these lines have been
running for three years and under their
emergency permits have not paid a cent
20 the city.
"On the contrary. the city has paid
out money for them. and the Mayor
re fcrs TO the tremendous potential
value Of their rights If they are re-
quired to get franchise permits from the
Board of Estimate and the Transit Com
mission they would have to account for
their earnings but why should they not?
If their returns show that the Mayor
has been justified in giving them their
rights for nothing that fact would ap-
bear upon the fling OF their application.
and they might be treated accordingly.
lHtIe ~, Ho lNtSpfl At an why
they should not continue their relation
ship with the city on a business basis.
The Transit Commission naturally pro-
poses TO do all that 1t can DO independ-
entity TO protect the bus riders whose
facilities the Mayor threatens to sacr-
flee. It will go into the whole matter
in n few days at one Of its public ses-
sons. so that when applications are
made for certificates IL can act
promptly
"I doubt whether any one Of those who
use the buses. law abiding as most cit-
zcus are. would join the Mayor in any
effort TO further resist the law. For
more than .wo years the courts in re-
peated instances have declared the
Mayors bus permits to be Illegal The
full service required can hc readily con-
tinued In a legal manner. There need
be no interruption at all. The statement
attributed by the Mayor to the Governor
that the lines can be run despite the
courts was of course not correct. As I
read the Governors letter. and II is
plain he said that the court would un-
doubtedly grant stay OF its action
against unlawful operation " there is
evidence OF a bona fide intention on the
part of the Mayor and his associates to
grant the lawful permits that IL requires.
III there is no such intention the bus
riders in time no doubt will suffer. They
will not, however IL the Transit Com
mission can help IT,"

AGREES WITH GOVERNOR

George McAneny, chairman of the
ment last night discussing the situa-
ton that has arisen as a result OF
the action of the courts in declaring
that the operation of buses in New
Gov Miller that If the present lines
are stopped the responsibility will rest
on Mayor Hyan. The statement fol-
lows:
"As the patrons OF the bus lines have
already been made aware, IL any Of the
present operation held by the courts to
be Illegal is stopped the responsibility
would be that of the Mayor. There is
no reason whatever why legal permits
should not be issued to the same people
who are operating the lines to-day IL
the operation of any given line is tusti-
fled and il the Mayor undertakes to
secure such permits for them. The
Board Of Estimate, at his instance.
would grant temporary franchises-they
might be for six months, SO far as the
law Is cOncef1ed-and the transit COM
mission will promptly grant its certifi-
Gates of approval in every proper case.
For the Mayor to say that he VIII
not vote to grant permits for very brief
periods until the problem of laying out
a system that will properly connect with
and serve the city's other transit lines
has been worked out merely because
a permit must be called q franchise
leaves much to be explained. If he
would subject 100000 people to hardship
and inconvenience merely because he
does not like the correct legal term that
would be given to the very permits nm
der which the present operators are
running Buses that, naturally. Is his
own affair But he should not crowd
the issue. The fact that the buses can
be legally operated il he says SC. AM
for periods of time as short as he likes,
IS as clear as day.
THE Mayor says that reliable opera
tors would not take franchises for six
months. That Is Immediately disproved
by the fact that the present operators
are licensed only from day to day Their
permits are revocable at any time
Would they be any less willing to run
their buses II the period of security
were heightened to, say six months: /
do not doubt that every one os them
would gladly take n lawful pesm.. IL
gwen n chance. They certainly must
je inaklng money or they would not run
to-day Why shouldn't they want TO
keep L. up?
