it proceed to the erection of a high

than $300,000. and if possible keep
within the amount of the 260.000 bond

NEW YORK. Nov. '20. Richard Cro
ker, who for years directed the destinies
of Tammany Hall before he retired to
lead the life of a country gentleman at
Glencaim. his bifr estate in Ireland, who
arrived on the Lusitanla today, has re
turned to New York merely as a visitor,
he said, to see his old friends and renew
old acquaintances. That he contemplates
aaln entering the field of politics in New
York where he so long held sway, he has
positively denied. It is expected that Mr.
Croker will remain in the United States
about six months, and it is likely that
a portion of that time, at least, will be
spent in Southern California or some
other section of the country where the
winds of Winter are less severe than in
New York. '
The old Tammany leader had as com
panion!) on the voyage across the ocean,
his daughter Helen, his nieces, Mrs.
Bowman and Mrs. Benjamin Bewlett,
and the latter's husband. Mr. doker es
pecially requested that no demonstration
of any kind be made by his friends in
this city upon his arrival, and in compli
ance with his request his reception down
the bay was a quiet one. Mr. Edward
Nixon, one of Mr. Croker's political
friends and who himself once held the
reins of power in Tammany, was waiting
at the quarantine station, however, and
he was one of the first to clamber up the
side of the bie liner. There was a warm
exchange of greetings and- then the old
Tammany chief told his friend that he
had waited breakfast for him. and hur
ried him away to the dining-room, where
they breakfasted together.
This visit of Mr. Croker to America
is the first he has made 'in four years.
His last journey home was a sad one,
as he had to be hurriedly called to at
tend the funeral of his favorite son,
Frank, who had been killed while
driving a racing automobile at Or
mond Beach, Fla.
In connection with Mr. Croker's visit
it has become known that Charles F.
Murphy, the present Tammany leader,
has left the city and gone to Mount
Clemmons, Mich., for a rest. He will
not return to New York, it is said,
until December 1.
FRENCH CRUISER ON REEF
Warships Fail in Effort to Pull

AJACCIO. Corsica. Nov. 20. The
French cruiser Conde ran on the rocks
of the Corsican coast today during a
heavy storm and her position is critical.
There was no loss of life.
The accident occurred during the ma
neuvers. As soon as the plight of the
Conde was seen the other warships that
were nearby approached and aided in
the .rescue of the Conde's crew. Ef
forts to pull the Conde oft the rocks
were unavailing.
The Conde is a cruiser of 10.000 tons
displacement. She had a complement of
615 men.

SALEM, Or.. Nov. 20. B. Lee Paget,

SHIPS' WATCHMAN
KILLED Bl BULLET
Rasmussen Shot and Then
Dragged to Engine-Room,
Say Officers.
ROBBERY MAY GIVE CLEW
Indications That Murderer, of Whom
Description Is Secured, Knew
Victim Had Considerable
Money In His Possession.
Evidence secured by Sheriff Stevens'
deputies and Coroner Norden yesterday
disclosed the fact that M. C. Rasmussen,
whose body was found on the steam
schooner Washington Thursday, was
murdered by being shot in the back of the
head. It has also been established that
the body was robbed and dragg?d from
the foot of the ladder, leading from the
upper deck, to the engine room, where
it was found, and covered with a tar
paulin. The fracture of the skull, it is now be
lieved, was caused by a fall from the
ladder to the floor below, where the
man's head struck an iroa projection,
causing the fracture. It is believed that
Rasmussen was descending the steps, the
stranger, his murderer, following, when
the unknown placed a 32-caJibsr revolver
against the watchman's head and fired.
The discovery of the bullet wound was
made yesterday. The baofc of the man's
head was badly powder-burned, showing
that the weapon was placed close against
his head when it was fired. Clots of
blood and hair discovered yesterday on an
iron projection at the foot of the ladder
show where the watchman, after being
shot, fell and struck his head. A trail
of blood from that place to the engine
room also show that the body was dragged
Into the engine room and carefully placed
in the position in which It was found.
Further evidence, it is said, causes the
officers to believe that a seaman was in
volved in the tragedy in which the watch
man was murdered and robbed. Motive
for the crime. It is said, was undoubtedly
robbery, and among a number of former
mates of the dead seaman it was known
that he would have a certain sum of
money in his possession on the date he
was murdered.
Had More Than $100.
Rasmussen. as a member of the crew
of the steam schooner Washington that
towed the abandoned Minnie E. Kelton
Into the harbor at Astoria. May 5, was
entitled to a certain portion of the sal
vage money. The sum amounted to $6t
and his monthly salary as watchman
amounted to JS0. Thu salary check was
received November 15, the salvage check
two days later. These dates were known
not oniy to members l the discharged
crew of the Washington, but to members
of the former crew of the Kelton and
others. .
A message from Seattle yesterday tended
to strengthen the officers in their theory
that a seaman is involved in the tragedy.
F. P. Baumgartner, lfcal agent, received
a message from C. E Fowler, of Seattle,
managing owner of the Washington, to
the effect that the officers should look
for the murderer among those who knew
of the salvage money from the Kelton
that Rasmussen was rto receive.
The crew of the Kelton consisted of
ten men in command of Captain Mason.
With the exception of the captain all the
crew is supposed to have secured jobs
through the Seaman's Institute of San
Francisco and to have embarked from
that port. The crew of the Washington
also consisted of ten men, who were dis
charged as soon as that vessel was placed
in drydock.
Sheriff Stevens yesterday succeeded in
securing a far more e ccurate and detailed
description of the yvell-dressed stranger
who is known to have been on board the
Washington at the time of Rasmussen's
disappearance than 'as at first obtained.
He believes that important clews will de
velop soon.
Three black cats together with the lone
watchman who took Rasmussen's place
are the sole inhabitants of the Wash
ington. The cats played a conspicuous
part in the search for the body by the of
ficers and newspaper-raen Thursday nljht.
Weird Scene on Vessel.
It was dark when the launch conveying
a detail of detective in command of Cap
tain Baty and the newspaper men left
the city Thursday night to investigate
the reported tragedy on board the- Wash
ington. A heavy miet hung over the river
as the little craft sped down the stream
towards, St. John. Aboard the launch also
was a nsw watchman who had been se
cured to take the ipJace made vacant by
the murder of Rasmussen. There were
few lights in the vessel as the launch
ran alongside, and their feeble rays gave
a spectral aspect to the deserted vessel.
Climbing upon the deck the officers and
newspaper men began a search. When the
body had been. found Captain Baty was
kneeling beside it examining It in the
hope of finding some evidence that might
be used as a. clew. As he kneeled there
he was startled by a sudden apparition
which leaped upon lis knee. He sprang
backward and threw a light upon the ob
ject. It was one of the three black cats
that had been Rasm.ussen's companions
in his lonely vigiis. After lowering
the body of the dead watchman over the
side of the vessel, thh officers and others
boarded the launch, leaving the new
watchman and the cai on the deck of the
ship. It was even larker and the mist
had increased to a drizzle.
"Gee!" exclaimed the watchman on the
deck, as the launolj started away, "I
hate to Bee you fellows go," but his only
answer was a grisly whistling of wind
through the rlggtrug and the pattering of
heavy raindrops on the deck.
The Coroner will hold an inquest today.
