He is one of the ‘’ Croker Guard,’’ a blind follower of the! boss, and few things thut come his Way get by him. He was a good plasterer when t Croker discovered him and gave ° him his first political fob. Since then he has drawn his salary in one qway or another, and tc-day, by fragality and carefulness, has suc-| te ceeded in saving some money—ac- cording to report $100,000. Keating seldom takes a man into! his confidence, and he is strong on}: self-commanion. He is a small)" man, Wwith a sharp face and an eye that can X-ray anything ugon which t it gases. }9 Real Rulers of New York, |! James P. Keating. Keating suggests the weasel—both In personal appearance and In methods, | political and otherwise. If you deive deep enough {nto Tammany politics you | will certainly find “Jimmy” Keating bur rowing somewhere in the subterrancan passages. He has always been like that, mysterious and secretive, with a sug- geation cf solemn deflance to defen: at- tempts to discover his purposes. It Is an old saying in Tammany that while most celebrities of his grade prefer working in the glad sunshine, “Jimmy” | Keating ts much more inclined to per- form his stunt during *he dark-kntern hours. Ne ts a little bit of a man. You would never take him for a Tammany or one of the powers of New York. a matter of fact, you would not look him a second time anywhere. ‘Jimmy does not invite confidences, but he is very atrong on self-communion and cal- lous to the opinions of others. Most sixteen-year-old boys are bigger than “Jimmy.” He welghs a reant 125 pounds and isn't tall cnough to be a po- Mcemaa. He ts a funny little man to look at. His round, bullet-shaped head |» wears only a mere upology for halr, which hangs In a fringe ike the ha arc of a gray and brown Turkish towel, ‘way back beyond the apex of his th.nk- ing apparatus. Baldest Man in Town, Jimmy ts one of the baldest men in town. His face {se small too, a trifle weazened with the cunning of his klu marked with deep lines about the cy And his eyes aru smull—mere pin points that roll restleavly about from object to | object and seem to "X-ray" you at a glance, He wears a beard that's smail and fits his face, It ts trimmed round Uke Croker’s and is gray-brown in color. There tan't even the vaguest sugges tion of a “Tammany be seen through the » ing over the lower part of his f Axa matter of fact, Jimmy doesn't look Ike a Tu mary man at all.
