He Thinks, Though, His Organization Will \Vln and That People Are Not \Vill- ing to Stand Successive Re- form Administrations. New York, Sept. 8,—Richard Crok'ex arrived in New York today on the steamship New York from Southampton. The boat anchored in Gravesend bay at an early hour and then went up to quarantine. Two hours later Mr. Croker was in the city. His Tammany follow- ers did not expect that he would reach New York before noon, so he was greet- ed at the dock by only two or three per- sonal friends, who had been notified early in the morning that the New York was at quarantine. Up at Tammany hall a. crowd gathered at 9 o’clock, pre- pared to go to the dock to welcome the real head of the organization. They Were much disappointed when they learned that he-had reached the city one. hour previous. Mr. Croker was not inclined to talk politics when he was questioned by the reporters. He said this much, how- ever: “I have not the slightest doubt that Tammany Hall will carry the greater city by 50,000 votes and upward. New York never had one reform administra- tion after another. One such govern- RICHARD CROKER. ment appears to be all the people can stand in one decade. The present so called reform administration has began chiefly noted for its increase of the tax rate, accompanied by a higher appraise- ment. If there has been any corre— sponding improvement in the quality of the government, the people have not dis— covered it.” . “Then you think the people are again ready to intrust the reins of government .to Tammany Hall?” “Yes. And why should they not be? Tammany Hall always kept the taxes down. It managed the government hon- estly and economically. That was be- cause Tammany is a practical, not a' theoretical, body. We are workers, not dreamers. Tammany believes and I be- lieve in the widest personal liberty con- sistent with good order and govern- ment. Tammany’s Critics. “Some people think Tammany is bad, very bad, but, as a. rule, they are peo- ple who live at a. distance and who trust to hearsay. New Yorkers know better. They know that if Tammany were the corrupt, degraded, horrible monster some people try to make it out it would have been throttled long ago. No such wicked men as we have been pictured, could live and maintain their influence year after year in New York or any other free American city.” “And are you to be the Tammany candidate for mayor?” Mr. Crokel was asked. “I have nothing to say on that score,” Mr. Croker replied. ' Concerning Seth Low’s nomination by the Citizens Union, Mr. Croker had lit- tle to say. . “I can’t criticise Mr. Low,” he re- marked. “I may have something to say about this nomination later.” Mr. Croker repeated emphatically that he recognized John C. Sheehan as the leader of Tammany Hall, and he declin- ed to say whether he thought that the is- sues of the last national campaign would figure in the coming local fight. Mr. Croker talked freely about his horses. He said he had a good season in Eng- land and expected to go there again next year. The only persons who met Mr. Croker at the pier were his wife and son and Henry D. Hotchkiss, Michael T. Daly, Peter F. Meyer and Edward C. Sheehy. After shaking hands with them he watched the customs inspectorsexam- ine his baggage. He did not have any- thing on which duty could be collected. John C. Sheehan arrived at Tammany hall early. He had intended to go to the pier to meet Mr. Croker, but the latter’s early arrival prevented him from doing so. Sheehan and Croker had a confer- ence later. A Warning From Prince Bismarck. Paris, Sept. 8.—The Gaulois today prints an interview with Prince Bis- marck in which he is quoted as having expressed fear that the efforts made at Peterhof were so much wasted time. What was required, the ex-chancellor is said to have added, was a serious, ac- tive agreement with a well defined pro- gramme and much clear sightedness and tenacity to achieve a result where- by the pretensions of Great Britain could be stayed.

LDETGDDT’ Sausage Manufactui'cr’s Azutory - Epistles Read In Court. DAMAGII‘IG TO THE DEFENSE. \Vidoiv Feldt Admitted That Her Erst- while Admirer \Vas Only Asking For His Own Money—A Statc ‘Vltness wno Did Not Pan Out Wen. Chicago, Sept. 8.—When Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer, entered Judge Tuthill’s courtroom, he smiled and nodded at the jury, but failed to extend the sweep of his smile to the crowd. The first business taken up was the reading of translations of the letters written by the defendant to Mrs. Chris-- tine Feldt. The reading of the fond missives sent by Luetgert to the widow occupied much time, several being very lengthy. While Assistant State Attorney Mc» Ewen read the epistles the jury listened carefully. The reader was cgrgfpl & place due emphasis on each endearing word or phrase and to fully emphasize all reference to the} facg’g that, the big sausage manufactiii‘er'Was ar'ixiciiis for the time to come when he would be free to wed the object of his affections. When those portions. of the letters coil,- in engaging an attorney were read aloud, it evidently embarrassed the prisoner. Luetgert’s- loading attorney, ex-Judgc Vincent, smiled and the prisoner visi- bly winced when the sentence was read in which Attorney Vincent was termed “greedy.” Vincent Roundly Roasted. The letter continued to state that Luetgert intended to release Attorney Vincent, as he did not consider-him able to handle so important a case. In another letter Luetgert wrote to the effect that on the first day of the trial there was to be a great. surprise for the police and the state. An attor- ney of worldwide fame was to be en- gaged, and when “the dogs of the po— lice” saw who it was they would quail with fear. This as yet 'unknown law- yer, Luetgert continued, was to super- sede Attorney Vincent, and then the case would be properly conducted. Attorney Vincent shook with silent laughter several times during the above and similar references. He seemed to regard the matter as a huge joke. Luetgert, whose chances for life were so considerably reduced by the intro- duction of the letters ‘ as evidence, rocked to and fro in his chair, and oc— casionally forced a sickly smile during the endearing passages in the letters. He evidently did not enjoy the public- exposition of his amatory correspond~ ence. After the letters were all read the re- cipient, Mrs. Christine Feldt, a middle aged widow, was called to'the witness chair for the purpose of finishing her testimony for the state. Mrs. Feldt’s Admissions. She admitted that Luetgert placed $4,000 cash in her hands for safe keep- ing before he went to jail and that this was the money which Luetgert referred to in his letters. She had put it in a safety deposit vault and paid it out ir. taking up a mortgage for the prisoner and for lawyers’ services. . The defense allege that Mrs. Feldt cannot produce any receipts for this money. The witness admitted that she had gone to Luetgert’s house after Mrs. Luetgert's disappearance and had su- perintended his household affairs for some time after his arrest. Attorney Vincent had said before the opening of the trial today that it would be shown that the prisoner gave $4,000 into Mrs. Feldt’s keeping, thinking it would be safe with her. Luetgert had no receipt for it, and alleges that he wrote endearing letters to her hoping to get his money back. The attorney also said that A. W. C. Grottey of New York would swear that he saw Mrs. Luetgert on Broadway on May 7, nearly a week after her disap- pearance. Nicolaus Faber, a laborer, testified that he saw Luetgert and his wife go into the sausage factory on file night of May 1. Much was expected by the state from Faber’s testimony, but he proved a dis- appointment. He acknowledged having told reporters that he was not near the factory on the night of May 1.
