Arranged to Put In the Deputy Chief It was common gossip in the Fire De- yesterday that Chief Edward P Croker is soon to retire According to the report that has reached the rank and file Chief will send in his nation within next two weeks While report is generally believed by the firemen none of the department officials however would substantiate it yesterday and the politicians merely looked wise when asked about it The Chief himself was said to be of town when a TIMES reporter tried to reach him at Fire quarters Chief Croker the report has it is to step out so as to enter the Roebling tion Company in which his uncle Richard Croker is interested The Chief is 50 years old and while his position at the head of the fire fighters can be his as long as he is physically able to perform his duties It is given out that he is no longer fascinated with the life and is to go into a business career On June the Chief will round out twenty-five years of service with the Fire Department and on that day there will be to him a costly monial to je purchased from a fund now being raised among the firemen Dr Harry M Archer honorary surgeon of the Fire Department who a warm admirer of the

in touch with Fire Department fairs that information had gone out to certain of the Deputy Fire Chiefs to pre- pare for a civil service examination which it is said will shortly be held to choose a successor to Chief Croker There are twelve Deputy Chiefs eligible to take the examination and if they all happened to strike the same average tiny one of them under the law might appointed Chief Tammany Halt cording to current report wants to nave Chief Langford appointed to Chief place 80 there will be no chance of his not attaining an average among the first three the plan to limit the con- to that number has been hit Upon Langford is a of Charles F Tonawanda Club and has been a stanch Tammany worker It is said to foe Murphy's desire that Langford be made Chiet of the Fire Department and is in keeping with Murphy's orders that word has been passed around to those Deputy Chiefs who are not expected to compete in the civil service examination Those who are to compete with ford are said to have already been ed and the others who are not to try for the place know that they are to slay away Inquiry from the Municipal Civil ice Commission yesterday failed to elicit i any information concerning the of Deputy Fire Chiefs except that there was a rumor that one would soon be asked The custom Is for the ment having vacancies to be tilled through civil service for a list of eligibles and for these to be notified by the Civil Service Commission when to pear for examination The commission is compelled to include all the eligibles and if any one is overlooked a new tion may be demanded So it is the affair of the eligibles themselves it they fall to compete Considerable comment has been sioned in the Fire Department over the fact Hayes who for a long time was Chief bitter antagonist in the department has mitted the fund for the chief's monial to be raised Without the Com- consent Dr Archer could not have undertaken the work of collecting the money from the firemen That he has given his permission is taken to mean that the Commissioner and Chief have patched up differences and that the Chief will leave the department on the JAMES B GENTRY PARDONED Actor Slayer of

House as to the discussed or the occasion for the Attorney General's sudden departure At the Department of Fustice the same mystery that has marked that branch of the Government under the new Administration was maintained There is ground for belief that the At- Genera is Impatient over the delay n getting final evidence in the Sugar Trust investigation It is known that President Taft is deeply interested In this special bit at- inquiry now In the hands of the Department of Justice and two special agents have bly been at work no reports have been forthcoming at least so far as the s advised In the last week or ton days the ney General deeply immersed in the study of a mass of documentary dence and the belief here is that a reat part of this was collected and submitted by George H

short time ago the trust practically knowledged its activities toward ing its rival by returning a large sum of money to the men It had downed Mr Earle denounced the Department of Justice in scathing terms and declared that was no possibility of getting Justice under the present administration of the department He went further than at- tacking the department and was quoted as making a personal attack on Mr Wickersham his motives and hla former corporation connections To this attack the Attorney General made no answer It is probable however that the In- into the Sugar Trust's ods will deal as much with its slon of a rival as with Its defrauding the weighing sugar at the port of New York This has been edged and heavy restitution was made to the United States Treasury by the cor- At the time the Government accepted the money from the trust it specifically reserved the right to cute it criminally at any time the might see fit Although the department maintains its silence it is well known that it is ing under the accusations that have been made against it The denunciation of George H Jr followed by the ter criticism on Tuesday of Samuel Un- counsel in the cases against the Sugar Trust have hurt The appearance of Henry A Wise Dis- Attorney at New York at the de- this week and his long ence with Mr Wickersham Is taken as evidence that the fight is being rapidly and thoroughly outlined Mr sham's unexpected trip to York is looked upon aa part of the general plan of preparation SUE FOURTEEN HAT FIRMS Several Accused of Conspiracy to Com- mit Murder and Incite Replevin Suit
