John J, Delany, ¢ounsel for Fire Chiet Edward F. Croker, to-day Mayor Low and Commissioner Sturgis with*coptes of an affidavit made by Fire Chief Martin J. Ryan, of Norfolk, Va., which he considers conclusive proof that the plot to oust his client was hatched early in the year, long before the first guns were fired at the head of the Fire Department in ‘August. Chief Ryan's afMdavit reads: “On or about™Feb. 16, 1902, Battalion Chief F. W. Gooderson said to me while I was in his office on Twentieth street: ‘It Is about settled, Croker will have to) go, and I may be boss yet. Mr. Delary said to an Evening World reporter to-day: “Battalion Chief Good- erson was a principal witness against Chief, Croker, Next in lIne to Purroy, he doubtless was tickled with the pro- motion straw. It happened that he overflowed to a visiting fire chief, and if thls aMdavit 1s not indisputable evi- dence that there was a conspiracy on I have no idea what can be considered ag better proof.”” Battalion Chief Gooderson was not at bis office in Twentieth street.

His Criticism of the Smart Set Was All in the Day’s Work, and He Intends No Crusade, He Declares. NO COMMENT ONHORSE SHOW But He Has Something to Say of Mr. Jerome's Slur on Jefferson, and Calls the District-Attorney “a * Shallow Young Man.” Though Mr. Henry Watterson has passed Horse Show week in New York, the distinguished Kentucky journalist has not found a fresh tmpetus for an attack upon the ‘Smart set." In his Apartments at the Waldorf-Astoria inat evening Mr. Watterson stated to an Evening World reporter that In no way ia he regard the “society end” of the Horse Show as offering any ground for Btrong criticism “Oh! dear, no," nothing to say more than I have said Riready about the Smart Set. What happened two months ago came in zhe regular line of my newspaper work, and having played the string out the game was over. To me it Is already ancient history. Assuredly I set out on no crusade. “The Horte Show? Why, I rarely go to It, finding much better entertainment elsewhere. As for the horses, I see plenty of them at home. As for the rest—the palm garden of the Waldorf- Astoria suffices me, The occasion is both Inspiting and admirable. Society tn all ages—in Roman amphitheatres, in Parisian opera-houses, at bull-fights in Bpain or on race courses in England— puts forward means for exploiting Itself and its regalia, and I know nothing cleaner or more wholesome than the Horpe Bhow.'

His whole case was spurious, Mr. Jefferson's doctrine of freedom was not that every man was born equal, but with equal rights before the law. Mr. Jerome's imputation of a faith so simple and axfometric in the gospel of re- pudlicanism shows him to be a very hallow young man and not a thinker at all.” At the present moment there is nothing which so concerns Mr, Watter- son a8 the serious {liness of his old Col, Ochiltree, and it was with deepest emotion that he spoke of distinguished raconteur, who is seriously ill at Hot Springs.
