been receiving enough good ser

ever, Superintendent T. G. Albert
felt that as tbe bath and laundry
and other facilities had not all
been ready, he wouldn't taks their

however.
A limit of 10 days has been
agreed upon as a reasonabale

al cases that call for a longer stay.
Superintendent Albert has some
curious stories about the visitors
of other years..
Many Buy Property
One man, who stayed in the
park the longest of all since tbe
camp was established, bought one
of the best farms in the country.
During each of'the past two years,
from 20 to 30 of these guests have
bought property in Marion coun
ty. There may be many others
who . do not make themselves
known. One. man who was irere
for a few days last year, bought
$1300 worth of car and fittings.
FAMED LEADER OF
TAMMANY IS DEAD
(Continued from page 1)
"Where did he get it?" was
once the question of the hour in
New York; but Croker never an
swered it.
Money Spent Lavishly
He spent his wealth lavishly in
maintaining a magnificently furn
ished home in New York, a stock
farm in New York state, and in
purchasing a half interest in the
famous Bell Mead stock farm
near Nashville, Tenn. He invest
ed hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in race horses and in main
taining a racing stable In Eng
land. While seeking and winning
honors on the British turf he fir6t
occupied a fine home at Wantage,
England, and afterward pur
chased his present home at Glen-
cairn, near Dublin, Ireland. He
also maintained an establishment
at Palm Beach, Fla.
Croker was born at Black Rock
near Cork, Ireland, November 24,
1841. His father came to Ameri
ca when Richard was a child. For
a few, years the family lived in
Cincinnati but soon returned to
New York.
, Prise Fighter In , Youth
As a youth he was employed as
a machinist In locomotive build
ing. Some of the physical strength
developed in this work he em
ployed in a number of prize fights
In which it was reported that he
was principally victor. He became
a member and soon leader of a
band of unemployed . youth or po
litical heelers known as tbe
Fourth Avenue Tunnel gang. This
leadership gave him his first po-

Utical recognition and he quickly
developed into a ward politician,
of one of the assembly districts of
New York City.
A charge of morder preferred
against Croker in his early ven
tures into politics almost termi
nated his politicat career. Croker
went to the polls in hia district
and protested against tbe stuffing
of the ballot boxes by another
political leader. While h3 was
arguing. James McKenna, one of
the henchmen of the oth.er leader,
was shot and killed. Croker was
indicted and tried, the jury dis
agreed and the case' was subse
quently thrown out of coart- Crok
er denied that he did the shooting
and the man who did it afterwards
confessed. It was characteristic
of Croker that although he knew
the name of the man who did 'the
shooting, he would not reveal it.
Long on City Payroll
For nearly 20 years Croker was
on the payroll of New York City
either aa alderman, coroner, fire
commissioner or city chamber
lain. He was coroner when ac
cused of the shooting of McKenna.
While running for election as al
derman he clashed with the fam
ous Boss Tweed and won the elec
tion despite the boas, but Tweed
had him legislated out of office.
One of the odd phases of Crok
er's career, in view of his subse
quent record as Tammany chief
tain, was ; his assertion that he
went into politics to put a stop to i
the robbery of the city by Boss
Tweed and his band of plunderers.
"It was a shocking state of
things," Croker declared. "I con
sulted Honest John Kelly and
went on the warpath against
Tweed and we downed him. Wc
reformers and independent Demo-
crates took over Tammany and
made the old sink of corruption
the headquarters of, reform."
ueauersmp roaxcnirss
When Honest John Kelly died
in 1886 the reins of Tammany hall
were put into Croker's hands by
agreement of tbe district leaders.
His leadership was described as
matchless, from a political stand
point. He ruled Tammany with an
iron hand and brooked no inter
ference, it his leadership was
questioned he called the leaders
together and demanded to know
which of them was dissatisfied
None dared to brave his wrath
Then he ordered them out to win
another victory for Tammany.
, As Tammany's chief he virtually
controlled about 100,000 votes
and influenced a much greater
number. He exercised tremend
ous power. With other Tarn
many leaders he dictated nomin
ations for every political office
in New York from the mayor
down to the lowest clerk. Hi3 or
ders went to city and district con
ventions and were rarely diso
beyed. When a judge failed to
give obedience he was disciplined
by Croker's refusal to renominate
him.
Million Yearly Collected
Under Croker's rule, it was es
timated that Tammany collected
from city office holders, saloon
keepers and others more than i
million dollars a year as a cam
paign fund. Croker said no ac
counting of this fund was ever
given. The finance committee
kept no books. Large business
houses seeking city contracts
found it necessary to consult
Croker.'
Within a few years after as
suming leadership of Tammany
hall, Croker showed evidence of
possessing great wealth. His con
duct and its relation to city af
fairs was th esubject of occasion
al investigation by ' legislative
committees but resulted in no
charge against him of violation
of the law.
As the result of one of these
investigations Tammany was con
fronted in 1835 with inevitable
defeat. Despite criticism that he
was abandoning the organization
to defeat, Croker resigned. A few
lyears later he returned and re
sumed the leadership, out soon
relinquished it.
Turf Efforts Successful
Meantime he bad established a
splendid home in New York City.
He began to spend his accumu
lated wealth in establishing him
self as a horse breeder and turf
man. Having purchased many
fast American horses he went to
England and established himself
at Wantage, where be lived like
a middle-class gentleman and
sought honors on the British turf.
It was estimated that he spent
more than half a million dollars
In his efforts, but he declared that
his returns equalled his expenses.
Subsequently he purchased a
home at Glencairn, Ireland,' where
he continued, to breed and race
horses. Although his famous
horse Orby won both the English
and the Irish derby, and his
Rhodora won. the thousand guin
eas . stake at Newmarket, Croker
did not obtain the social recog
nition which, usually accompanied
such successes.. The king failed
to invite him to the Derby dinner
and he was refused the privilege
of training his horses on New
market heath.
Indian Woman Wedded -Croker
was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Elizabeth
Frazer of New York. They had
nine children of whom three died
when young. Richard Croker,
Jr., his eldest son, is a New York
business man, . Another son,
Frank Croker, was killed in an
automobile accident at Ormonde
Beach, Florida. One of his daugh
ters was married to Count Louis
San Martini, of Naples.
The first Mrs. Croker was
sensitive to the publicity and crit
icism, under .which Croker lived
and. when he went to England
for his. turf, campaign, aha made

They Will Sing Forty Min
utes Every Night, Ad
vance Agent Says
"Massa Llnkum" emancipated
the slaves, but he threw up his
hands at trying to change their
color or their voices; they still
sing evactly as they used to do
down in "the quarters." on the
levee, with the coon and. the 'pos
sum and the sweet taters roast
ing in the fireplace and the cullud
gem men waiting hungrily for the
dish to cook and . cool. Laws-a-massy,
how those cuilerds could
sing! So why 'change 'em?.
The Salem Cherringo has im
ported 17 of these original plan
tation minstrels and -troubadours
and songsters, to give a series of
concerts for the Cherringo, May
4, 5 and 6. They will sing for 40
minutes, each performance. They
hare a special quartet that sings
free of charge, outside the Coon
town booth. This coontown chor
us singing of "Copper Moon" will
be worth the price of the whole
show.
Three scenic artists are paint
ing night and day on the scenery
for the Cherringo. It is the most
colossal job ot the kind ever at
tempted in Salem.
There is acres of It mountains,
lakes, old swimmln holes, cat
fights, alligators and malaria,
flowers bigger than wash-tubs,
and fruits and cocoanuts and goo
bers by the cartload. They are
painting enough forests to refor
est the whole Rock mountain
plain east of the Rockies. The
whole armory floor is tQ be spread
thick with sawdust. It Is to be
a regular ballyhoo circus, with aJ
list of attractions that would
make Bam urn and Forepangh and
John Robinson curl up and die
in sheer envy.
The costumes will be here
Monday; costumes that will make
a dainty Oregon girl look like a
pig-tailed cannibal queen, or
calm goggle-eyed dominie simu
late a hungry Hottentot execu
tioner with the seven-year itch.
Whoever fails to take in the
Cherringo, falls to invest in the
best thing in . the world- a: good
time that will last, over the jworst
spell of the blues. The money all
goes "to the Salem hospital fund.
Recently" In a divorce -ease tae

Her death occurred in Austria in
1914. Within a year Croker, who
was then 73 years old. married,
in 1914, Miss Beuiah Benton- Ed-
mondson, known as the Princess
Sequoyah, daughter of a Chero
kee and member of the Cherokee
tribe, but an educated woman de
voted t ophilanthropic work. At
that time Croker maintained a
home in New York but spent his
time either at Glenciarn or at his
home at Palm Beach, Florida.
