three years ago. when the city was
the mecca for adventurers. plungers
and spectators generally. all at

the wrestling tournament, distin-
guished himself more or less by his
prowess, and formed the acquaint-
ance Of prominent young men.
Among these was Hope Root. son
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. S. Root, residing
in the exclusive section of the city.
Hope soon had Robertson at his home
as a guest. He was best known as
popular in the River Crest and Mea-
dow Mere Country clubs. Other well
known Fort Worth residents became
interested in him and through their
influence the young British war vet
eran was sent to the University OF
Texas, where he met Miss Mary Gull
berson, also~a student there, but later
was sent to Washington by her par
ents.

day. He and Hope Root have been

MRS. CROKER HAS HELD
ESTATES Three YEARS
BY the Associated Press.

DUBLIN, May 10.-The provisions
Of the will of the late Richard Croker,
former Tammany chieftain, have not
yet been definitely announced. 1t Is
learned in reliable quarters, however.
that some of the statements circulated
in America as to the disposition Of the
estate are not entirely exact.
AS to statements that the entire
Irish and Palm Beach estates go to the
widow, 1t is pointed out that Mrs.
Croker got both of these estates more
than three years ago. Since that dis
position was made of the two main es-
tates, Glencairn Castle, in it's entirely,
has been the property of Mrs. Croker.
including even the race horses, which
she leased to her husband. He ran the
horses as lessee in his own name.
1t Is a fact that there is will. But
the instrument does not contain lega-
cies of $4,000 to each of the children
as part, of a trust fund, as has. been
stated in America. Practically the
only assets Mr.. Croker had after the
settlement made with Mrs. Croker con-
sisted of funds which are now the SUBJ
ject of litigation in America.

William F. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and ELECTRIC

that. there is likely to be inConNeui-
ence to some passengers, but il j. the
intention both of the companies ana
the commission to observe cloS'ly
how the traffic comes and goes duriu5

The commission issued a statement
to the effect that the two compani"a
will advance all of their schedules one
hour and will furnish the sai4q
