IRELAND CLAIMS
DOVE OF PEACE
RESTS ON LAND
MRS. CROCKER SAYS HUSBAND'S
SPIRIT CALLS THERE OFTEN.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Mrs. Bula
i Edmondson Croker, who arrived from
Ireland, said that she had been in
spiritualistic communication with her
husband, the late Tammany chief
tain, off and on. His spirit came
to her most often in Ireland, be
cause things over there were more
tranquil and peaceful, she said.
She gets all her instructions from
lull ‘ by vibrations, she said. In the
gardens of Croker castle, the vibra
tions were especially powertul as
she walked among the roses Mr.
Croker had planted and tended.
Ever since the death of her hus
band, people who oppose his spirit
ually expressed wishes invaribly
suffer, according to Mrs. Croker. She
told of a realtor in Florida who has
sued her for $100,000.
“I knew that ill-luck would befall
him,” she related. “I learned that
while I was away his favorite son
was killed aand tht he himself came
near death in an automobile collis
ion. Mr. Croker tells me that if this
man continues to sue me unjustly
he will have two more punishments
to face, one of which may cost Lim
his life.”
/Reports from Kanatak state that
ifo damage was sustained by Robert
McIntosh, former Sewardite who is
in the merchandise business at Kan
atak. The water never reached up
to the floor of his building, and the
wind could not harm the structure.

ARM PITS, WHILE RISING
TIDE CREEPS ON
The 12-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Cannon, recent arrivals in An
chorage, had a narrow escape from
death this week, when he sank to
his armpits in the mud near the old
city dock, and was held prisoner
while the rising tide crept up to him.
Capt. Murphy, who was on his boat
in winter quarters on the flat, heard

after a hard struggle.
The boy fell into the mud off the
dock, and his companions becoming
alarmed, ran off and left him to his
fate.

announced today.
The shadow of the moon will first
touch the earth at sunrise, he said,
“at a point in northern Minnesota to
to a the northeast of Red Lake. From
there it will creep east and south
across the Great Lakes, across New
York, northern Pennsylvania, Con
necticut, and Rhode Island, and then
out over the Atlantic, twinging to the
north leaving the earth at sunset at
a point roughly midway between the
Shetland and Faroe Islands.
The following points along the cen
tral line will sufficiently define the
path: Beaver Bay, Minn.; Escanaba,
