CROKER OUT OF IT WEEK IN CONGRESS
Announced His Retirement as Leader
of the Cohorts of Tammany
LEWIS NIXON SUCCEEDS
Croker Dictated Succession and This
Was Announced by Committee
WILL NOT BE A MERE FIGUREHEAD
New Leader Made a Speech and Made
That Statement in Plain Language
NIXON IS A NATIVE OF VIRGINIA
Was Graduated from the United States
Naval Academy nnd Was the
Designer of the Oregon
New York January 11 Richard Cro
ker announced his retirement from the for-
mal leadership of Tammany Hall this aft-
ernoon at the meeting of the executive
committee at which the plan of organiza
tion for the year iqoj was agreed upon
Lewis Nixon was chosen as Mr Crokers
successor as the chairman of the finance
committee This position by long usage
carried with it the leadership of the organ-
ization
In announcing the name of Mr Nixon
for the chairmanship of the finincc com-
mittee George M Vanhocscn president of
the general committee said that the step
was taken at the desire of Mr Croker him-
self Mr Croker hou er did not express
himself until all the business before the
meeting had been transacted when he arose
and addressed the chair His tone was
conversational but there was something
like a tremor in his voice as he walked
back and forth across the room
In beginning he said that the appoint-
ment of Mr Nixon to the chairmanship of
the finance committee had his full approval
and he hoped that Mr Nixon would re-
ceive the same consideration and good will
which had been extended to himself lie
added I know the young man well and
I believe that he will restore confidence in
the organization and bring back to its sup-
port the army of democrats that we lost it
the last election I am continually receiv-
ing letters from young men anxious to join
this organization and I hope that means
will be found to bring more young men in
The people who left us for reasons of their
own can never build nn organization up
against ours upon patronage received from
the republican party I think it is your
duty to strengthen yourselves and to ktand
on principles not on patronage I have
been in the organization thirtyfive yearj
and during that period it has polled a
larger rote proportionately in years when
it had no patronage You need never fear
the efforts of men who leave Ufc because
they wish to get positions If you conduct
this organization honettly and comply with
the laws you cant he beaten at any time
In conclusion I want to ask you again
to have the same confidence in Mr Nixon
that you have had in me and I have no
doubt of jour success
Mr Nixon the new leader rose as soon
as Mr Croker had sat down and very
briefly thanked the committee for the honor
done him
He said It was with sincere regret
that I learned that Mr Croker had deter-
mined to retire I will not accept an ex
ecutive position and be a mere figurehead
I promise to apply every effort and my ut-
most strength to build up this organiza-
tion
A vote of thanks to Mr Croker for his
services to the organization was voted by
the committee
Mr Nixon announced that he would re-
tain Thomas F Smith Mr Crokers sec-
retary for a number of years as his secre-
tary
Lewis Nixon the now Tammany leader
was born in Leesburg Va April 7 1861
and received his early education in the
schools of that town In 1878 he was ap-
pointed a midshipman and in 88a he grad-
uated from the United States naval acad
emy at the head of his class He was sent
In 1883 ie was made fire commissioner and
in 1889 and 1890 he served as city cham-
berlain For years he had been recognized

recognition by the speaker A petition
will be circulated among members for
signatures asking Speaker Henderson to
recognize a Maryland member probably
Mr Pearre for a motion to tike up thc
question in the house It will not be a
difficult matter to get the signatures Prob-
ably twothirds of the members of the

favorable outlook members from the ad-

THE PANAMA CANAL
French Representative in This Coun-
try Before Senate Committee
WAS CLOSELY QUESTIONED
He Says Canal Has Not Been Placed
on the Bargain Counter
BONDED FOR 800000000 FRANCS
Will Revert to Colombia at the End of J
Mnctynine Vears
SEVERAL NEW FEATURES DISCOVERED
He Says It Is Independent of the French
Government and Authority to Sell
It Is Not Necessary
Washington January u Edouard
Lamprc representing the Panama Canal
company appeared before the senate com-
mittee on iiiteroceame
ctials today m
obedience to the summons of that com-
mittee to testify concerning the affairs nf
Ins coinpanj and its
prober to sell t
property and fraiichies to ihe tnit d
States Jules Uocufve of the French ii
bassy also was present nt the hearing ihc
meeting was held behind ilncd do rs
M Lamprc said thit In n < ion to t c
United Stales had hern 1 rtBn t <
whom the proposition to tic dc of Ma
Panama pripcrtj shoul n 1 1 H
informed himself upon this jx it be In I
conferred with Admiral Walker vliairiuin
of the isthmian canal commission a to
the form of the offer He then had cabled
lo his principals the result being that the
olfer to sell for 40000000 had been made
directly from Taris He said tint the pro-
posal mclided both the franchises nnd the
property of the Panama company but not
the money in its treasury
M Lamprc was questioned especially
concerning the title of the present Pan-
ama company He teplied that the present
owners had made their purchase through
thc liquidator of the old company and that
thc transfer was regular In response to
other questions he said that in case a
transaction should be consummated the
money would be distributed among tha
members of the original company and those
of the present organization by arbitration
He said that thc proffer of his company
had been made in good fnith
In response to inquiries M Lamprc con-
tended that the new company had a perfect
right to sell the property and that to do so
would not infringe upon the rights of any-
one
Senator Morgan asked what thc corpora-
tion had been organised for and the wit-
ness replied that the purpose was to build >
a caiul
Thc senator then asked whether an at-
tempt to sell the canal was not proceeding
111 bad faith M lanipre maintained that
it was not He also said that the Amen
can Panama Cmial company had been or-
ganized in New Jersey for the purpose ofj
disposing of the property in this country if
possible
As a matter of fact said Mr Morgan
> ou appear to have bad the qanal on the
bargain counter uver since the company
was oiganued
Ihc witness protested to the contrary
The rompiny lud abandoned all idea of 1
sea level canal The Frtnch law he said
could not prevent the transfer of thc canal
lo the United States us thc canal company
was independent
The fact was developed at the hearing
that thc bonded indebtedness of the old
company was 8oooooooof and also that
since the new company had come into
control it has paid i3oooooof to the Co-
lombian government for concessions It
was also shown that the lease from that
government was for ninetynine years audi
that at the cud of that time the property
would revert to Colombia
M Boeufvc was asked whether the prop-
osition to sell the canal for 40000000
had been made with the authority of the
French government lie said the govern 1
meut had no connection with the transact j
tion
