out, but the French people have
actually spent 92.0O0.OOO 600 francs
in restoring the country and have
still to spend an equal amount

For this work OF restoration,
Clemenceau will argue. the Ger.

AS exclusively reported by Inter.

will speak with the force Of official
utterance, inasmuch as he is known
to have reached an understanding
with M. Poincare, the French prime
minister. He will have. too, the
sympathetic support OF a powerful
group of American international
bankers, including the interests
represented by Thomas w. Lamont,
Otto H. Kahn and Bernard Baruch.
1t is regarded as significant that
the former French premier on Mon

DUBLIN, April 29.-Richard Croker,
formerly leader Of Tammany Hall,
New York. died at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon at Glencairn Castle, Sandy
Ford, a few miles from Dublin. His
wife was at the bedside.
The former political leader spent
the better part of the last ten or
twelve years in Ireland, where he
owned extensive estates. making oc-
casfonal visits to the United States.
The last of these visits was in the
spring of 1921, when he went to New
York in connection with the legal
proceedings instigated by his sons
to prove him incapable of managing
his own affairs.
Shortly after he returned to his
home at Glencairn Castle he became
seriously i'll and his condition was
described as SO bad that it would be
impossible for him ever to leave his
bed. But he soon showed signs of
improvement and early this year he
was reported to have regained his
health and spirits.
Born in Ireland i'm 1S41.
Mr.. Croker was born at Black Rock,
near Cork. Ireland, November "a, 1S41.
His father came to America when
Richard was a child. AS youth he
was employed as machinist in To-
comotive building. Some Of the
strength developed in this work he
employed in a number of prizefights,
He soon became leader of a band OF
political heelers known as the Fourth
Avenue Tunnel Gang. This leadership
gave him his first political recogni-
tion and he quickly developed into a
ward politician, soon becoming Tam
many leader of one of the assembly
district of New York city.
A charge of murder preferred
against Croker in his early ventures
into politics almost terminated his
political career. Croker went to the
polls in his district and protested
against the stuffing of the ballot
boxes by another political leader.
While he was arguing. James Nc
Kenna, one of the henchmen of the
other leader, was shot and killed.
Croker was indicted and tried, the
jury disagreed and the case was sub
sequently thrown out of court. The
man who did the shooting afterward
confessed. 1t was characteristic of
Croker that although he knew the
name of the man who did the shoot
ing, he would not reveal it.
Twenty Years ON City Pay Roll.
For nearly twenty years Croker
was on the pay roll of New York.

To put through the La Toilette

them to provide permanent storage and
also to construct pipe line facilities to

Sm00t Heads Inquiry.
The Senate investigation is to be
made by the public lands committee. of
which Senator Smoot Is chairman. Al
though an immediate inquiry was urged
by Senator La Toilette, a start must be
deferred. Senator Smoot said last night,
until information called for by the La
Toilette resolution from the Interior
and Navy departments is prepared and
transmitted. This includes all leases and
other documents and information.
The resolution adopted yesterday also
requires the committee to report on the
drilling Of private wells near the naval
reserves and to make recommendations
with reference to the protection Of the
rights of the government and the pres
ervation Of its natural resources. Sub
mission OF the information called for
will take considerable time. Senator
Smoot said. He said the public lands
committee would determine upon hear
ings. Secretaries Fall and DENLY and
former Secretary Daniels are expected
to be leading witnesses.
