EncumbraDces on Florida Prop.
 erty Torn Away

Jacksonville. July 9 Pt-Thc net work of contracts and conveyances thrown about the Palm Beach estates of Ricbard Croker, former Tammany Hall leader, today had been torn away by the action of Judge Rhydon Call, in federal court.
 In decision handed down yester- day, Judge Call declared convey ances by Croker to B. C. Mcdonald and the Palm Beach estates, a cor poration, were null and void in that they violated the constitutionality guaranteed homestead rights of the widow.
 Under the ruling of Judge Call, EsSS.ss-tssara asa51 lssssssssS, z ssssseSI the widow and the heirs of Croker by his first wife, A series of deeds executed by Croker and Mrs. Bula Croker, his second wife, purporting to convey the property to Mcdonald and the Palm Beach corporation were held void since they did not constitute such an alienation of his homestead rights as to fall within the section of the Florida constitu- ton covering the alienation of such rights. Since these rights were not alienated, the judge held, the deeds did not displace the heirs and xrjd dnuF If title
 A bill seeking to have the con- tracts declared void was filed in January by Howard Croker, Ethel Croker White and Richard Croker, Jr, children of Croker by his first wife.
 This bill brought a motion by Bula Croker, J. B. Mcdonald and the Palm Beach estates, defendants in the action, seeking to have it dismissed for want of equity.
 The original bill sought to have a fee simple title 10 the property vested in the complainants, subject 10 the dover rights of the widow, Bula Croker. It asked that the Mcdonald contracts be set aside on the ground that under the Florida constitution Croker had no right to convey property set aside as his homestead in such manner as to defeat the rights of the widow and the AAAss ts AAA szasezy.
